DIR. SEAMAN A. KNAPP i
DIED IN WASHINGTON
Did Great Work for Farmers OF This
State-HoW He Came to Start
Demonstration Work.

Washington, April 2.-Dr. Seaman
Asahel Knapp, one Of the foremost
experts of the department OF agrlcul-
ture, who has made Investigations IN
many parts CT the world, died at his
home here yesterday. He was 7S
years old. DR.. Knapp was from New
York. and his work in the Orient and
in connection with rice production in
the South and in promotion of various
Southern crops made him famous
among agricultural Investigators.
The death in Washington Saturday
night of DR.. Seaman A. Knapp was a
shock to hundreds of South Carolln-
ians, for the people of this State had
learned to know him and to love hlm'
South Carolina first felt the great
influence of DR.. Knapp as a result OF
the enormous development of the rice
Industry in Louisiana and Texas. The
effect of his work there having a
marked reflex effect upon the South
Carolina's practical monopoly in rice
growing.
His First Visit.
# was this very thing that was the
occasion of. DR.. Knapp's first official
introduction to the people of South
Carolina. The South Carolina indus
trv in the summer of 1907 was Ian
gushing to such an extent, that,
through Gov. Hayward and E. J. Wat
son, commissioner of agriculture, the
growers on the coast asked DR.. KNAPP
to come here, go over the rice heldS
and s, what he could do to improve
conditions. He came and found that
the conditions here were due largely
to the labor, and to the fact that the
rice soils on the Carolina coast were
too light to admit of the use OF ma
chinery. However, he undertook tt
do what he could for the industry, anG
has watched it carefully ever since.
It was while riding through the rice
fields that Commissioner Watson
broached to him the subject Of intro
ducing farm demonstration work int
the States of the South Atlantic coast
starting first with South Carolina.
DR.. Knapp was at first sheptical' bu
on being assured that he might ex

lima as hearty support as from thH
people Of any other State in which the
work was being prosecuted, ne salo
that he would put it into this State.
He was as good as his word, and IN
a short time the first State agent, u.
n. Barrow, was sent to South Caro-
lima and began the organization OF a
nunoher of counties. It is needless to
recount the results of the work ac-
complished under Mr.. Barrow, then
under Mr.. Campbell, and later under
Ira ". Williams. It is known of all
men.
Work Delighted Him.
DR.. Knapp had repeatedly express
ed himself as more than gratiied at
the unanimity OF the support given in
South Carolina and was particularly
pleased when the legislature added on
the part of the State $4,000 toward
the support Of the work.
When Mr.. Watson last saw him he
told the commissioner that It had been
one of the greatest happinesses OF his
life to follow the way things we're
being executed in South Carolina. Il
hope to live to see the day that l can
make your State of South Carolina
the model State of all of the States IN
the Union for the utilization OF in
telligent and fruitful methods in az
riculture," he said.
Last Visit Here.
His last visit to Columbia was on
Founders day at the University OF
South Carolina, January H., when he
delivered a mastery address. Many
remarked that the address, aside from
its great scientific and literary char
acter and practical scope, was an in
spiration.

Net Output Is the Only
Fair Way.

Several leading mine operators of the
state are holding preliminary conferences
with a view OF getting together as never
before for the purpose of guarding
against the passage OF any new laws 10
the detriment of the mining. milling and
smelling interests. The proposed amend
ment to the constitution nj the state
relative to the taxation OF patented min

To mining men organizing in a closer
relation than has been done before.
II is understood that the change de-
sired in mining taxation is from net pro-
ductlon TO an acreage valuation. Coal
mining interests are vet To be heard
from on this proposition, but prominent
metalliferous mining men are strong In
their disapproval OF such change:

year, Si106. at s9S5.295. This production
