from Demonstration.
The Courier presents herewith two
approved plans for practical rota-
tion OF crops, whereby the greatest
good may be accomplished with re-
gard to soil conservation nud in
creased fertility. These plans are,
furnished from tho United States De-
partment of Agriculture, and come
from the Simpsonville Station, South
Carolina:
Tho ThNe-Year Rotation.
First Year-Cotton; winter cover
OF vetch and rye. Corn; peas or
peanuts and peas. Grain; peas,
v"tch and rye.
Second Year-Corn; peas, or pea
nuts and peas. Grain; peas. vetch
and rye. Cotton; vetch and rye.
Third Year-Grain; peas. vetch
and rye. Cotton; vetch and rye,
Corn; peas, peanuts and peas.
Two Year Rotation.
First Year-Cotton: vetch and
rye. Corn; peas or peanuts and
peas; or Grain; peas, vetch and rye.
Second Year--Corn, peas or pea
nuts and peas; or grain; peas, vetch
and rye. Cotton; vetch and rye
(Two-Y Rotation-Note: One
ton green vetch turned supplies fer
tility worth $500
South Carolina has nearly six mil
lion acres In cultivation, about half
OF which are planted to cotton. II
this is to be continued, the two-ycar
rotation should be adopted. Those
who prefer planting only third OF
their acreage to cotton should adopt
a three-year rotation.
On an estimated average yield or
40 bushels corn, SO bushels oats, q
5O0-pound bale Of cotton and one ton
pea hay per acre, and supposing Win
ter cover crops OF vetch and rye to
be double cisked and turned seven
to ten days before planting in spring,
the rotation for three years shows n
net gain Of fertility per year OF
$3.50 per acre. The rotation for
two years shows a net gain Of fer
tility per year Of $2.95 per acre. 1t
is safe to say that this net gain

scribe was almost driven mad. At
length by a stroke of c%raftiness he
b~uttonholed each neighbor separately

other. This tale has kept the world
amused for 5000 years.

Luxury Now Enters.
The decade Of the 'forties' saw a
wonderful development in comfort and
luxury in river passenger steamers.
Iron hulls We're then nsed-and later
steel ones-the lake and ocean craft
and some of the modern river steam
boats having watertight compartt-
ments. with collision hulkheads. Some
of the modern Hudson river steamers
now have fire decks. three for the ex-
elusive use of passengers. There are
as many as five hundred staterooms.
\ feature introduced SO years or more
g was the grand salon extending
through two decks. The engines are
of 4.5O0-horsepoWer or more and are
of the vertical compound type, with
cylinder almost seven feet in diameter
and of 12-foot stroke. The crank
shaft is placed below the main deck,
this being possible by reason of the
small diameter of the wheels. These
great boats, splendid specimens of ma
rine architecture. are capable of a
speed of 25 miles an hour.
Although Robert Fulton produced
the first commercially practical steam
boat his was not the first craft pro-
PEELED by steam. 1t was in fact the
twelfth. 1t is believed that the boat
Denis Papin navigated on the river
Fulda in Germany in 1907 was the
first.
1t is known that John Fitch invent
ed and navigated the first steam craft
in the United States. This was on
July Z. 1886. On the Delaware two
years later he propelled a 60-foot boat
by steam power. The engine was of
12-inch cylinder and he carried thirty
passengers. This was the fourth
steamboat in America.
James Rumsey of Virginia devised
IA steamboat that navigated on the
Potomac in 1888. Captain Samuel
Morey of Connecticut invented a
s%tern-wheel steamboat which made
five miles an hour and four years lat

Columbus, O., Nov. 9.-Defeated but
far from discouraged, President Taft
already has formed lplans for holding
together and strengthening the Re-
publican party. The plans are in
definite and still vague, but he declar-
ed last night to friends who accom-
panied him north from Cincinnati that
the party will continue to exist that 1t
Twill be as active as in the past and
that there is no reason to believe that
it's chances for future success We're not
excellent. So far as the presidents
plan is concerned, he hopes to see or
ganized a national Republican club"
entirely apart from the Republican
national committee which shall cher
ish the principles of the party and be
a source of political activity not only
during election years but at all times.
To suggestion that he might be
the Republican party's nominee IN 1916
the president replied with a smile but
made no comment He laughingly re-
peated his intention of returning to
Cincinnati and the practice of law.
The president is convinced that the
task of President-Elect Wilson will not
be easy. He said tonight that he ear
nestly hoped Mr.. Wilson would not call
an extra session of congress to re-
wise the tariff. He wishes, he said, to
see the present prosperity continue as
long as possible.
