Importance as n distributing point for
many commodities is almost entirely
dependent upon its water connection
with the coast. These men use the
boat line for transportation from Co.

town there is an arrangement with
the Clyde Line company.
For some time the business of the
boat line has been greatly hampered
by exceptionally low water, but not
withstanding this fact the company
has done an excellent business. The
situation with regard to river navi-
cation is vitality important to the
commercial, interests of Columbia.

retary Handy is familiar with river
| navigation from his experience as a
government engineer. He will work
to create business for the boat line
and has already outlined his plan of
action. He will guarantee all ship
ments by the boat line to be delivered
on time. The work as general man
ager of the boat line will not interfere
with his duties as secretary of the

That the boat line means great
saving in freight rates ives shown by
the experiences related by several
wholesale men at the meeting.

WHEAT FIGURES
FOR PAST YEAR
COME INTERESTING STATISTICS
THAT WERE RECEIVED az
COMMISSIONER WATSON.
RAISING OWN FOOD SUPPLY
Waste OF Money Spent For Things to
Eat Beyond the State-Some Statis-
tics on Rye Are Also Furnished
Yield Per Acre.

Columbia,-"It begins to look very
much as if our people are at last 60
ing to realize the vital necessity of
raising something to eat at home"
said Commissioner Watson in an
nouncing the figures for the wheat
crop in South Carolina for this year
Statistics secured by the department
snow that the wheat crop is 5,632, 900
bushels as against 4,93S,0 bushels
for last year The average yield per
acre last year was 10 bushels and
this year 11.4 bushels.
Il have presented at every meeting
l have attended, the facts in cold fig
ures as to the waste annually indulged
In for things to eat bought beyond the
borders of the state. We have been
rocking along, for instance, sending
outside OF the state every year for
flour the appalling sum of $50, 900,
and most of 1t / am satisfied is about
the same class of product as we have
found corn meal to be. In 1908, un-
der the supervision Of this department,
movement was launched for the in
crease OF the wheat acreage of the
state, and several meetings were held
that fall for the specific purpose of
getting our people to undertake the
raising of wheat with a view to home
consumption. In one section alone
that year, 5000 acres which had never
been planted in wheat before was put
into cultivation. No result in agricul
tural advance has been so gratifying
as that following this campaign, and
am happy to say that this result has
already contributed to our 1911 crop
record an increase over 1910 of nearly
three-quarters of million dollars.
THE total wheat crop in 1880, in
this state was 692,S5S bushels; in 1900,
on an acreage of 174,215 was only
1,017,319 bushels worth $95S,15S and
the average yield per acre was only 8
bushels. On yield per acre of sos
bushels in 1907, the yield was 2,669,-
600 bushels, worth $3,2O3, 10000; in
1908 the average per acre again went
to bushels and the yield was 1888
300 bushels worth S3,6S6, 100000.
