EXPERIMENTAL TOBACCO FARM
Government Decides TimmOnsyiIIe
Desirable observation-disclosures Soon.

Washington, Feb. 22.-Represen-
tative Ellerbe, assisted by Representa-
tive Lever, who is member Of the
agricultural committee, has been
working recently to have an expert
meat farm established at Timmons-
vile. Today they received a letter
from the chief Of bureau Of plant
industry informing them that his
work would begin at once.
The chief of the bureau says: we
have had in mind the extension of
these Investigations into the older to-
bacco sections Of the State, and after
looking into the matter, it appears
that TimmOnsville would afford a de-
sirable location for this purpose. We
hope TO be able, therefore, 10 begin
some work with tobacco at Timmons-
vile and will proceed 10 make neces-
sary arrangements for beginning op-
erations. ] may add that the work
with. tobacco, which is conducted on
rather broad lines, will include ex-
periments in crop rotation, with spe-
cial reference to the relation Of the
other staple crops Of the section to
the yield and quality Of the tobacco"
Timmonsville being in the heart Of.
the great tobacco belt Of South Caro-
lima, it is thought this experimental
work will be Of great benefit to this
entire section.

Commission Government.

Wherever it has been tried the
commission form of city government
has proved TO be a great improve
ment over the aldermanic form. Here
are some notable examples:
Galveston has wiped out a debt OF
100000, taken up $4,000 of bonded
Indebtedness, and built a sea wall at
cost of $1,50O,OO0. The grade of the
city has been raised five feet; the
city hall has been rebuilt. Water
works costing a million dollars have
been developed, paving worth $751;
200 has been laid, new rock and shell
roads costing $1S1,O00 have been
built. and $1,000 has been put into
