Hasten Farm Credits.

Something that Jim Hill tolG
i the bankers Boston 4is pestss
iof a wider hearing.
Last year Uncle Sam shipped tc
customers in other lands articles to
the value of two and half billion
dollars, figuring roundly. Where.
upon the enthusiasts wanted us all
to hip, hip, hoorah, for doesn't
this smashing export trade point
to Columbia as the workshop of
the world?
Right there Mr.. Hill comes in
with his habit of poking below the
surface and what he brings into
view puts a shadow into the pic
ture.
For of that banner output which
we so eagerly sold abroad, almost
fOur-ffthS represented things made
from natural resources which are
not renewable-at least which we
are not taking much pains to renew.
Such, for example, as things made
from ores. OF things grown from
the ground, which we can renew,
we actually exported a smaller
volume last year than 10 years
ago.
A blind man can see that it will
not be long, as affairs now move,
before we shall have to import
food-we who used to boast that
we lived in a country which could
feed the world.
But Jim Hill reminds us that.
after a generation or two more of
using up our ores in the way in
which they are now going, we may
also have to 60 knocking at the
doors of other countries for the
chance to buy manufactures of iron
and steel.
And why!
Because we have been putting
our emphasis so largely on manu-.
featuring, on the kind of industry
which draws men together in cities, !
and have done so little to make !
our soil work.
If we did our foreign trading
with things that we could
renew and kept for home use the
things that, once gone, are gone
forever, it would make a better
basis of welfare for the future.

Why Leaves Fall From Trees.

To most people the fall of the leaves
does not, apparently, excite much
establishment or curiosity. The leaves
die, and hence fall; that is all there
is about it. But the scientist knows
that the proceeding is a highly COM
plex one. In the first place prepa-
rations for the leaf-fall begin the
minute the leaf is formed, and in
many cases the leaf falls while yet
fresh and green. In 1858 botanist
named Duhamel advanced the theory
that the change was caused by the
rupture of thin texture between the
leaf and the stem. In the middle OF
the nineteenth century there was
discovered, traversing the leaf stalk
and touching the stem, layer OF
cork tissue analogous 10 that OF bark
On the tree. 1t was recognized at
once as interfering with the contin-
uity between stem and leaf. The
formation of this layer, however, is
not general, and is not observed in
certain ferns, in the beech-tree, the
poplar, and many others. Neverthe-
less, this discovery furnished the key
10 the phenomenon. The leaf stalk
is formed of strata of cellular tissue.
One of these strata hardens and tends
to being absorbed, and consequently
on one side or both, the strata grad
ually grow together. The leaf then
adheres to the stem only by fbrous,
woody tissue-that is to say, by It's
sue to all intents and purposes dead.
This is broken mechanically on the
impulse of the wind or under the
pressure of the weight of the stem,
and makes the leaf fall. These organs
have not in them the strength to sus-
tain the cold during the winter, and
the tree dispenses with them.-Har-

THE LOWER LIMB.
Farmer Green Says It's So and il
Ain't-The Philosophy Of it.

Trees grow by sections, say a foot
each year. When the cold weather
comes along in the fall and the foliage
is killed by the frost, the tree ceases
to glow until spring. When the sap
rises and growth begins again, it
starts right where it stopped in the
fall and {, e lower part Of the tree
doesn't grow at all, except that it
takes on a new ring on the outside,
just as does the top to take on anoth-
er length. Therefore, we say trees
grow by rings, each ring representing
cne year of the trees age. If limp
is near the TOD of a tree, it therefore
grows up with that years growth OF

Humor of Wall Street.

When the late W. R. Travers was
an active member of the exchange he
had a transaction with F. B. Wallace,
who was noted for the general dis
regard of his personal appearance.
Wallace had a big stock of gray hair
that almost reached his shoulders and
usually suggested the advisability of
a visit to the barber. On comparing
notes a difference arose as to the
price at which Travers had sold the
stock and somewhat heated discus
sion followed. Wallace in his ex-
element finally calculated:
Say Bill, I know 1 am right, and
I'll bet you one hundred dollars you
are wrong
Travers in his calm, smooth, slut
.tering way replied:

CAPITAL TO PIEDMONT HIGHWAY.

Improvement, and I think some
months ago 1 promised not TO issue
a paper that 1 did not call attention
in some way to the benefits OF the
split log drag. 1 have almost kept
that promise. The road question is
the most important before the people
today, not excepting the rural school
problem, for if you build school hous-
es Won must have roads in order to
reach them. Then every one has oc-
casion to use the roads.
wanted TO say something about
the road from Newberry to Colum-
bia. l had occasion to use this road
the other day in trip 1 made from
Newberry to Columbia, and if we had
a road lot of people from this sec
ton and all along the route would go
to Columbia, and the Columbia people
could come to see their country cous-
ins. I noticed signs all along the way
which read Capital to Piedmont
Highway" which sounds good, and 1
reckon were put up by my good and
enthusiasts friend, Ebby Watson,
commissioner of agriculture. AS I
say, it sounds good, and wish it was
a highway, but some part Of the road
is the worst in South Carolina. For
fifteen miles out from Columbia good
road has been built but for lack of
attention and the use of the simple
split log drag it is getting in bad con-
dition. I cannot understand why peo-
ple who have to use the road con-
stantly will neglect such a good road
as was built here. The upkeep of the
road is just as important as the build
ing of the road, and the better the
road the more attention it needs, but
if given at the right time will not cost
much.
The next five miles Of the road are
almost impossible, and all this is in
Richland county where they have
plenty of money from the dispensary
and have no excuse for neglecting this
aCpital to Piedmont Highway. 1t
would pay the business men of Co.
lumbia to get behind the supervisor
or the road builder and put this Cap
ital to Piedmont Highway in good
condition, and particularly does it
seem to me would it pay the people
who own land along. this highway to
do something.
From the Richland line to Chaplin
there has been pass made at work
ing of the road but it needs dragging
and little sand mixed with that red
clay. The distance is four miles.
From Chaplin to Little Mountain
another pass has been made at work
ing the road but it is far from being
in good condition. And then there is
a hill on this road which is almost
perpendicular and rises ever one
boulder after another. v,N
The NewbeFryaead of the road; with
the exception oeet6e frst fifteen miles
out from Columbia, is the best part of
it, but in many places it needs atten-
ton and with very little work it
could be made fairly good road.
There ought to be a Capital to
Piedmont Highway" and it ought to
come by Newberry, and the one l am
writing about is the most direct and
with little cooperation and work
could be made a fine road. Why not
get together and do something. Why
wait. Now is the time. Build the
road and then let the upkeep out to
the people who live along the road,
and see to it hat they keep it up. 1t
