Advises Farmers to Raise Live stock

In an address delivered last satur-
day at the National Corn Exposition
at Columbia, S. c., Hon. James Will
son, United States secretary of agri.
culture, recommended that farmers Of
the south devote more attention to
the raising of hogs and cattle and
the growing of forage crops.
Don't sell your corn; feed it to
stock, was reiterated by the secre-
tary many times in his address. He
asserted that if southern farmers
would follow this advice they would
bring their soil to high state Of
fertility, which could be maintained
with a minimum use of commercial
fertilizers.
Secretary Wilson and the members
of the house committee on agricul-
ture attended a banquet given at the
exposition in honor of more than
500 boys who won honors in the
growing of corn in the various south
ern states, and eighty-five girls who
won recognition in the growing and
canning. of tomatoes. AT. the BAN
quet the bust of the late DR.. sea
man A. Knapp, known for his work
in the improvement of agriculture,
was presented to the state of Ala
bama for making the best showing in
the school for prize winners which
was conducted in connection with the
exposition.

Let Us Have "Pure" Shoes.

The Louisville Courfer-Journal, dis
cussing the Louisiana pure shoe
law. says there are some manufac-
turers who look with disfavor upon
the statute and make the claim that
substitutes for leather are general
ly used in shoe counters, heels, box
toes and shanks, and that the sub
stitutes give better service than the
real leather The Louisville conten-
porary then adds: This may be
true, but if so, why should the man
lfaeturers object so strongly to let
ting the purchasers know
The argument reminds us very
much of that one used by the Whis-
key distillers against the adoption of
prohibition laws-that more Whiskey
is consumed in dry territory than in
wet sections Yet they never have
been known to favor any sort of pro-
hibitory laws, strange as it may
seem. If substitutes for leather in
certain parts of shoes are really bet
ter than the leather itself, it is pass
ing strange the manufacturers of
shoes should object so strenuously
to the provision of the Louisiana
pure shoe law which provides that
the presence of such substitutes in
a pair of shoes must be plainly made
known by stamping the fact upon the
outside of the outer sole.
Now that a bill similar to the Lou
isiana law has been introduced in
the national house of representatives
at Washington, our own pure shoe
statute, which becomes effective in
July of this year, is receiving a
great deal of favorable comment,
and Louisiana is receiving a consider
able amount of good free advertising.
The CourieT-Journal points out that
Louisiana was the first state in the
unions to pass such a law" and urges
congress to pass the Oldfield bill,
which is patterned after the Picard
law in this state.shreveport Jour
nal.

Panama Canal to be Operated b
Electricity,

Powerful electric locomotives will
haul the shipping through the locks
of the Panama Canal. The locomo-
tives will run on a raised track be-
side the canal and will receive their
electric energy from a hydro-electric
plant being built in connection with
the Gatun dam The gates of the
mighty locks, weighing many tons,
will be opened and closed by power
full electric motors in the remarkable
time of one minute and forty-eight
seconds. The canal will be lighted
by electricity, and electric power will
be used for many other purposes in
connection with the work.
To supply the power to operate the
gates and sluice valves in the locks,
and to furnish current for the mon
steF electric locomotives which are
to tow the steamships through the
locks, a great hydre-electric station
is being erected adjacent to the
spillway in Gatun dana, equipped with
three large water turbines and three
1000 kiloWatt generators, with suit
able exciters and other anxiliaries.
There will be enough water from the
storage in Lake Gatun to warrant the
installation of 5000 kilowatts, though
in the dry season 1t will be necessary
TO draw upon the storage. Altogether
it is figured that for this electric
work seven per cent of the minimum
water system of the canal will be re-
CURED, A part of the electricity is
to be used for lighting the line of
the canal. There will be concrete
lamp-posts 100 feet apart throughout
the entire length of each lock wall.
Altogether, 1000 lamps will be Install
ed at the locks.
