this quiet, unassuming country 10y.
Jerry was a feature at the land show,
and the kind Of a feature that we
like to have.
Ten different men will have ten
different ideas about methods of adj
vertising, but they will all agree that
honest advertising is a good thing. If
every man in South Carolina real
lied that the exhibit at the last land
show was an example of clean and
torceful State advertising, there
would be another effort, and a hard
one, to have as good a delegation and
an even better exhibit in the 1913
land show.
We believe the kind of advertis-
ing done by South Carolina in 1912
should be continued by South Caro-
lima in 1913. There is a big interest
in the South right now, and the inter-
est is getting bigger every day. We
are getting more inquiries about land
in a few States in the South than we
are from about a dozen other States.

General Manager of the United States
Land Show.

FAvORs A POWERFUL NAVY.
Assistant Navy Secretary Makes Adj
dress Before Navy League.

Washington, April 1O.-An eff
Client navy, large and powerful
enough to maintain the nations pres
tige, Is the policy Of the new admin
~istration as outlined to-day to the
navy league Of the United States in
It's eighth annual convention by
Franklin ID. Roosevelt, assistant sec
rotary of the navy. His statement
created enthusiasm. 1t was regard
ed as directly rejecting the views of
Secretary Daniels and the White
House.
Mr.. Roosevelt called on the nem-
bers of the league to aid in popuiar-
izing the naval establishment and
declared that as effective work could
be done outside the navy as within
it. He dwelt on the need for the
support of the secretary of the navy
and the administrations naval policy.
This is not a question of war or
peace" he said. 81 take it there are
as many advocates of arbitration and
international peace in the navy as in
any, other profession. But we are
confronted with another condition
the fact that u nation has decided
in the past to have a fleet and that
war is still a possibility"
Mr.. Roosevelt told of the thousands
of men engaged in manning the ships
and in attending to the mechanical
work of the department ashore. He
said the services was being developed
with the intention of making it a fac
tor for the national good.
eve want the country to feel that
in the maintaining of a fighting force
of the highest efficiency" he said,
1--WE are at the same time educating
thousands of young men to be better
citizens and to be in a position to
help themselves when they leave the
service. We want to give them in
dustrial education under ideal condi-
lions. Most Of all, we will help Gre
ate a mercantile marine owned by us
and run by u.s."

State Crop Pest Bulletin.

Clemson College, April 11.-At a
recent meeting of the South Carolina
State Crop Pest Commission the reg
ulations governing the shipment of
cotton seed and seed cotton from
boil weevil territory were amended
so as to entirely prohibit the ship
ment Of cotton seed and seed cotton,
for any purpose whatever, from boil
weevil territory into the State of
South Carolina.
This regulation Is in effect now
and all cotton seed and seed cotton,
for whatever purpose, arriving in
this State from boil weevil territory
is contraband and will be seized and
destroyed by order of the commits
sion.
Seed Condemned and Burned.
Bennettsville, April 1O.-Some-
time ago ]. ]. Matheson, C. P.
Hodges and D. K. McColl brought
into this county a lot of cotton seed
in which dead boil weevils were
found. 1t seems this seed was
shipped from territory infected with
boil weevils, but that it had been
treated, and the purchasers thought
that it was free from any boil weevil,
or other pest. Profs. Conrad and
Thomas, of Clemson College, after
giving the matter due consideration,
and after most careful inspection, de-
cidcd that the best thing to do with
the seed was either to have it ship
ped back or destroyed.
The seed brought in by Mr.. Nc
Coll, after being condemned, was
shipped back to Fort Gibson, Miss.
The seed ordered out by Mr.. Mathe-
son caused some little friction, but
was finally burned by order of the
proper authority.

GOOD ADVERTISEMENT FOR s o,
West Co~ngratulates South on Jerry
Moore, Her Best Asset.

Chicago, April 12.-Special: Col.
e. j. Watson, Commissioner OF Com
merce, Agriculture and Industries of
South Carolina, deserves q vote of
appreciation from the people Of the
State tor the ingenious way he has
advertised the State.
We recently read, in an Eastern
publication, about a banquet at Co
lumbia during the corr show to Jerry
Moore INT the members of the boys
corn clubs. This Is excellent adver-
tising for South Carolina, and is the
tained by The State during the Chi
cago Land Show, when newspapers
all over the country printed articles
about South Carolina and Jerry
became interested, Oren B. Taft,
president OF the Pearsons-Taft land
Credit Company, was one Of the finan-
ciers impressed with the importance
of Jerry. Here" he said, in an ar
ticle in the Chicago Tribune, "is a
boy who has done something. He is
a living asset to the State, He can be
cashed into corn and corn Is money.
The middle West needs about a hun
dred thousand more like him. He is
one OF the boys Of the South who has
realized that his future lies in being a
producer. If boys of Chicago would
learn to follow Jerry's example, and
learn to manage farms hat would
produce, say an average yield Of a
hundred bushels per acre, they would
be rich Men"
Edmund d. Hubert, of the Mer-
chants Loan and Trust Company, one
Of u best-known bankers, also talk
ed about Jerry Moore. "There is no
question about the value OF Jerry
Moore to South Carolina" he said.
Intensive farming will bring the
farm houses closer together, stimu-
late social life and create new inter
est. Jerry Moore is helping this
along"
We have received newspaper clip
pings about Jerry Moore and South
Carolina's exhibit at the land show
from every State in the Union. There
Is deep Thought behind this kind Of
advertising. 1t directs attention to
the fact that while in 1900 the value
or all farm property in South Caro-
lima was $153,591,159, in 1910 it
was $392,128,314-an2 increase of
155 per cent, and that the reason for
this ~increase'is due to better farming
In South Carolina.
Then, too, Jerry Moore was talked
about in u schools. Teachers want
cd to meet him, end many of our bus
mess men wanted an introduction to

say that Esau displayed this affection
