figures to show that ten college bred
farmers averaged $S41 yearly income
against an average of only $3lS for the
farmers whose education had been

agriculture is too difficult for hl"h

Arthur D. Dean of the New York state
educational department, addressing

partment that employers might permit
boys and girls to attend school for the
sake of the preservation of American

pleased or disappointed at the infor-
nation that Commissioner Watson has
been offered such a desirable position
by the United States government as
has been rendered him. OF course, it
is pleasing to know that the South
Carolina commissioner has been Sc
lected above other officials of the en-
tire country. 1t makes us feel that the
Federal government is really i'm earn

trade. and that the selection has been
made on a basis of results rather
than on a basis of putting some politi-
cal worker who had to be taken care

needs Mr.. Watson and that the state
will find it difficult To get somebody

TIE weather is too hot to admit of
extended discussion of Columbia's OBJ
scrvance of the liquor laws. That the
esteemed State is honest in its indig-
nation, we are quite sure: but it fails
to make allowance for the fact that
Its knowledge is measured Ia its state
and place" Things that are regarded
as crime I'm York for Instance. are
matter of course occurrences down in
Richland Up here, If n tiger would kill
an officer who was trying To serve a
warrant on him, we would do some
thing to the tiger. When an unusually
bold and enterprisng lawbreaker slips
into the foothills, sits down in thicket
beside a swiftly flowing stream and
begins to make liquor in copper bot
toned goods box, we hunt him down
and send him up. In Richland, thing
like this would be regarded as too tri-
vial for notice. To be sure. Richland is
not in q class with Charleston. In
Charleston, the Independent dealers
generally select their own brands from
the wholesale houses, and sell more
or less openly by the drink or other
wise. There is less of this in Column
bia. Most of the Independent dealers
get their supplies from the dispense
ries and sell to the fellows who do not
feel inclined to walk around the corner
and buy at first hands, or who have
failed to lay i'm supplies during bust
ness hours. oh, yes. the law is still
violated up this way. We have not
been able to catch them all: but 1t is
not nearly so bad as it used to be
here and not half so bad as it is in
Columbia. If Columbia were deprived
of her dispensary and put on the same
basis as Yorkville. she would not en-
force the law as well as Yorkville does:
but would change from her present
standard to something like what is now
to be found in Charleston. But as we
remarked at the outset, we do not want
to quarrel with the State about this
matter. The weather is too hot, and
final determination of the facts would
involve all the difficulties of convict
ing a Richland tiger. task that we
do not care to undertake.

! NAVIGATION MUST BE FREE

w. Z. Craighill, United State engineer
at Baltimore, has sent communications
to a number of persons interested in
Chesapeake Bay fisheries and who are
known to operate, pound, nets, stakes
and similar devices Aised in fishing.
warning them that any impediment to
navigation by such devices will be re-
ported to the United States Attorney
and action taken under the laws govern
ing the placing of any structures in
navigable waters. ~
Colonel ,Craighill,s warning is the
result of instructions from the War
Department, after complaints had been
made by navigation interests concern
ing distractions of nets in the bay and
tributaries. The trouble is experienced
only in the fishing season between
March and June and October and the
beginning of ice. usually about the end
Of December.
The penalty stipulated by Federal
statute for obstruction of navipable
waters is not less than $500 or more
than $500, or imprisonment not ex-
ceeding year. The instructions were
issued by the chief Of engineers of the
United States Army. who, in his COM
munication to Colonel Craighill, says
that. though the Importance of the fish
ng industry in Maryland is appreciated,
he presence Of stakes and other para
ohernalia in such position as to be
dangerous to navigation cannot be toll
srated. Baltimore Sun.

EAT OYSTERS.

1t looks conclusively that the
meat trust is thecause of present
high prices for some food stuffs,
principally meat. Throughout
many states organizations are
being effected to boycott meat.
The people can well afford to let
meat eating go for awhile if by
that they can bring the iniquitous
combinationstb their senses. Once
upon a time oysters were more
costly than the average meat
diet, and to advise their con-
sumption from an economical
standpoint was like the advice of
the Queen of France who advised
the mob to eat cake if they could
not get bread. Now, oysters, at
even S1.25 q gallon, are the
cheapest meat diet that Ameri-
cans can get.

Bottoms.
Washington, ID. c., anuary 20.-The
report of DR.. H. F. Moore, of the Bu-
reau of Fisheries of he Department
of Commerce and Labor, on the ICON
dition and extent of the oyster beds of
James River" was issued to-day. 1t
contains eighty-five Iages and two
elaborate maps. GOV ering the entire
section involved. In his summary he
says:
THE public GROUNDS in the region
covered by the survey cover an area
OF &c, 1854 acres, as computed in the
report of the Baylor Survey. Of this
acreage, IL. 1906 acres lie below the
line drawn between Deep Creek and
Days Point, and 13,6l7.8 acres lie
above that line. The beds of the for
mer region are available for the pro-
duction of marketable oysters only, the
law requiring that all oysters under
three inches long be returned to the
beds, while the latter region is set
apart for the production of seed oys-
tiers, and the Gull law is not applicable
except in so far as it forbids the re-
moval of shells.
of the entire area, the recent sur
vey shows that 1927 acres NAV be
classed as bearing a dense growth:
2,O78 as scattering; 1913 as very scat
tering; 1854 as depleted and 15,371.4
as barren. The barren and depleted
bottoms together comprise 10, 255.
acres, or about 70 per cent of the total.
and all bottom which can be construed
as productive aggregates 1854 acres.
or q per cent of the entire bottom in
cluded within the Baylor lines
In conclusion it said: Under the
terms of the resolution of the State
Board of Fisheries, which was the
basis of the request for the survey
made to the Bureau of Fisheries by the
Governor of Virginia, the author is not
in offering recommendations
as to the use which might be made of the !
facts developed. 1t may not be iaap-
propriate, however, to point out the
several avenues of procedure which it
is possible to follow in respect to the
oyster bottoms of the region discussed. |
These resolve themselves into three:
"Q) The maintenance of the integ-
rity of the public grounds as now con-
"(2) Their abolition in toto.
"(S A middle course which will
preserve to the public the productive |
bottoms practically in their entirity
while throwing open to oyster-planting
large part of the barren and unpro-
iuctive bottom now included within the
public grounds"
Each of these courses is discussed at
ength. 1t is presumed that the latter
course will be recommended by the
State Commission of Fisheries. "

after which he instructed the officer on
