THE CONFERENCES OF MAYORS.

IL is very gratifying to note the gen.
eral approval OF the proposed confer
ence OF mayors suggested by tho
Chamber og Commerce and called
primarily by its education commit
tee and the Mayor. acting with the
president and convention committee
OF the Chamber.
All the topics thus far suggested
are educational, in the broader sense
The arrangements for the convention
were turned over to the education
committee with that I'm view. The idea
OF mayors conference Is good, be-
cause I'm the ultra individualism that
characterizes the South we do not al
ways practice the degree OF cooper
alton needed for real progress. Get
ting together" rubbing elbows" and
swapping ideas and experiences" are
good for all men. and the conference
TO be held ON June 25th holds at least
the possibility and we believe the
probability. OF much good for the
people of all the South Carolina cities
and towns.
The purpose Of the conference Is to
have full and free discussion of ev-
cry topic. from all viewpoints. 1t is
not TO force conviction on any point,
but to draw out ideas in order that
whatever Is worth while may become
public policy in the various cities of

A Great Wheat Yield.

Last year was one of the great
wheat yields in the United States.
Nevertheless We are among the low
est among civilized nations in wheat
production per acre. Belgium pro-
duced 25 quintals per hectare OF
land, Germany 22.6, Great Britain
1871; whereas the United States
yielded but 10.S Russia. Algeria
Spain and India are among the few
countries that grow less wheat per
acre than we do. In these countries
of high yield more labor goes in
TO an acre, of course, and perhaps
even more into a bushel. 1t has
been shown in the United States
that a very little more labor intel
ligently applied will increase the
yield more than correspondingly
More labor on the wheat fields
would mean more profit.

System Of Distributing Water to Plant
Roots Successful In Texas.

System Of Distributing Water to Plant
Roots Successful In Texas.
One Of the most remarkable out
growths Of the era of reclamation IN
the west is test that has been made
near Midland. Tex. Of system OF
subirrigation whereby water is fed TO
the roots Of plants well under the
ground instead Of having it percolate
down to them from the surface. The
success of such a system would aoo
millions Of dollars to the yearly profits
of farms throughout the west because
of the saving of water in places where
it is scarce and the better results to be
had In the growth Of plants.
Systems of irrigation generally are
based on q flow of water in surface
bitches fed from surface canals. 1t has
been found, however. that great waste
attends this plan both from seepage
and evaporation. In localities where
water is scarce these factors are Of the
utmost importance.
Agricultural experts for years have
been engaged in an effort to perfect a
system Oh SuDlTTlSdllOu. L hC eiSoe NAA
fculty to be met, however. lay in the
plugging of the water outlets when
pipes were laid underground. 1t Is
necessary that these outlets shall at all
times be free If the water is to be dis
tributed properly. 1t is believed that
this problem has been solved under the
system in operation near Midland.
The experiment has been carried on
by wealthy farmers Of Kansas. who
bought much property in that vicinity.
Their plans were greeted humorously,
but they went ahead installing their
system. They laid concrete pipes two
feet under the surface on large tract
At short intervals in these are inserted
plugs having openings the size of pin
hole. Over these holes are laid caps
which fit over the pipe in such fashion
that only a little room is left for the
egress Of the water and no room for the
entrance Of dirt or roots. 1t has been
found that the water from these holes
spreads to a distance Of more than
sixty feet. Good crops have been grown
on the land, and farmers who formerly
scoffed at the idea are now figuring on
installing similar devices.-New York

CLEAN DAIRY UTENSILS.
To Keep Products Pure They Shouie
as steriIixed Every Day.

If the dairyman is to keep his dairy
utensils absolutely clean he must ster-
ilize them daily. This is just as neces-
sary in the small dairy as in the large
one. The dairyman who milks only
few cows cannot afford an expensive
equipment In his dairy room. Many
who do a profitabl but modest busi-
ness believe that sterilizer is an ex-
pensive luxury. Such is not the case.
A homemade steriliZer may be made

The Poor Wall Street Specs.

The Wall street spectators are
putting up poor mouth over the
business they managed to scrape to-
gether in 1912. During the twelve
months they sold only trifle of
twelve billions of dollars worth OF
stocks and two-thirds of billion
dollars worth of bonds. Their COM
missions on this piddling business
amounted to only little more than
thirty millions, hardly enough to
keep their families in gasoline
champagne and diamonds. Still
when they reflect that they handled
in single year volume of bust
ness as great AS one-tenth of the
entire wealth of the United States
of every kind, they may feel better
satisfied with the record.

A LONG LANE, ETC.

A rattle for handsome riding mare
took place Saturday evening in town.
Now rattle may not be exactly in ac-
cord with the provisions as set forth
against gambling in Ballinger's code,
but the owner was shy of funds, he
had this very desirable animal, no one
displayed disposition to buy, and he
took the old means often resorted to
for disposing of the four footed prop
erty in order to raise the wind. The
individual who put up the mare is H.
ID. Smith, pitcher of some renown.
and those who wooed the tickle dame
chance, at so cents per, numbered a
multitude. The senior end of this
firm invested. He never dreamed of
breaking the hoodo that has stood
in the way of his winning anything
for the past so years or more. He
passed over the small piece of silver as
donation to help out ball player
presumed to be in distress, because
he is possessed of the bug, threw the
numbers to one side and gave the
transaction no furthr thought, not
even going to the trouble of asking
when and where the drawing was to
take place. He absolutely lost all in
terest the moment he selected the
numbers he had coming, one, and the
lucky one, coming to him free. What
then was his bewilderment
