L. s. Will Censor Cables.

Washington, Aug. 13.-It has been
decided to impose the same censor
ship on French and English cables
as is now imposed upon German
owned wireless stations at Sayville,
l.. l., and Tucketron, n. J.
Orders to place government agents,
probably naval officers, as censors on
the American ends of the cables were
prepared to-day.
Protests have been made that
while the German stations were dis
criminated against, the British and
French cables were unrestricted, and
it was said military information was
sent over them and afterward trans
mitted by wireless to French and
British warships.

Consider Loan TO France,

Washington, Aug. 13.-J. p. Nor
gan & Co. have inquired Of the State
Department what the United States
governments attitude would be to-
ward a French war loan OF several
hundred millions, to be hoated in
this country
1t is also understood that certain
financial houses have app cached the
government with view to ascertain
ing its attitude toward an Austrian
loan for an unnamed amount.
The Morgan request was taken M
by International law experts, who
decided such loan would violate no
provisions Of the neutrality laws.
They pointed to the precedent when
Japan borrowed millions here during
her war with Russia, but it finally
was decided that broader question
in the policy Of international rela-
tlons was involved, which only could
be decided by President Wilson,
The proposal, accordingly, was re-
ierred to the White House.

McReynolds, however, made his de-

formerly.
In the old agreement the trustees

Literature for Farmers.

All folks OF intelligence realize
that farmers work too hard during a
large part Of the year to have much
inclination for reading when work is
done. But they owe it to themselves
to read. Read good farm papers and
read the experiment station bulletins.
The circular series Of Clemson Col
lege is especially designed for the
busy farmers. These circulars tell
things in a direct, concise and popu-
lar way. They are free to all citi-
zens Of the State.

TWO MORE WAR DECLARATIONS.
England and France Now Turn on
AuStria-Hungary.

London, Aug. 13.-It is officially
announced that state of war has
existed between Great Britain and
Austria-Hungary since midnight.
The British foreign Office later is
sued the following statement:
"Diplomaitc relations between
France and AustriaHungary being
broken off, the French government
requested His Majesty's government
to communicate to the Austro-Hun-
garian ambassador in London the fol-
lowing declaration:
Having declared war on Servia,
and thus taken the initiative in hos
tilities in Europe, the Austro-H Hunga-
rian government has placed itself,
without any provocation from
France, in state of war with
France, and after Germany has sue
cessively declared war against Rus
sia and France, Austria-Hungary has
interfered in the conflict by declaring
war on Russia, who already was
lighting on the side Of France Ac-
cording 10 information worthy of be-
lief, AuStria-Hungary has sent
troops over the German frontier in
such manner as to constitute di-
rect menace against France. In face
OF these facts the French govern
ment finds itself obliged to declare
to the Austro-Hungarian government
that it will take all measures per-
mitted to it to reply to these facts
and menaces.'
In communicating this declara-
ton, accordingly, to the Austro-Hun-
garian ambassador in London, His
Brittanic Majesty's government has
declared to His EXcellency that the
rupture with France having been
brought about in this way, it feels
itself obliged to announce that a

Planting Crimson Clover.

When planting crimson clover be
sure that soil and moisture condi-
tions are right. Crimson clover
should be planted on land that has a
good season" in it or when there is
an excellent prospect Of rain. The
seeds are small and germinate with
little moisture, and as they germi-
nate and there is not enough mois-
ture to make them grow off, the hot
sun will easily kill them.

Clean Up.

The grief that falls to the lot of
those who do not clean up their gar
dens is depicted by A. f. Conradi,
entomologist of Clemson College, in
| calling attention to the importance
of this duty. Prof. Conradi says:
Nov is the time to ask yourself
whether you cleaned up and destroy
ed by composing, feeding or deep
plowing the refuse left after your
garden crops were harvested Per-
haps you burned it. Ere should be
resorted to only as a last emergency
1t is nearly always wasteful.
Your cabbage refuse left in the
garden last season supported an
army Of the calico-colored cabbage
bugs through the winter and you felt
discouraged when they wrought
havoc with your succeeding crop.
Perhaps you left lot Of old turnips
or mustard in the garden. 1t was
just as bad. Part Of the garden was
covered with weeds which furnished
protection and support for caterpil-
lars, bugs, lice and boards of other
garden pests.
Instead of having the grass and
weeds, planting rye and vetch or
vetch alone or crimson clover would
have put these pests out of business.
and would have had much more
beneficial effect on your soil. Rye,
oats, vetch and clover are remarka-
bly, free from bugs, especially garden
bugs.
THE long grass around the edge
Of the garden is a regular bug hatch
cry. 1t pays to keep it down. Piles
of brush and weeds left in the garden
are sure to give you endless trouble
the following season.
"The best time to fight our most
destructive garden insects is not in
the spring after the crops are started.
1t is the worst time that could be Sc
lected. The best time is in the fall
and winter, by an intelligent reno
val of all crop refuse. Where clean
gardening is practiced, when the
pests appear in the spring they will
be few in number and it is then conf
paratively easy to examine the gar
den once or twice a week and, when
you see a cluster of cabbage bug
eggs or a colony of newly hatched
bugs. to destroy them and prevent
their increase.
"A crop worth growing is worth a
Httlo effort in this direction, becaus g,
YOU muat remember. the hues are
ever present. They are the most
numerous of all animals in the ami
nal kingdom. This is the insect age.
Practice preventive measures just as
our large, progressive market-gar-
deners do"

SECRETARY HOUSTON TALKS.
A Brief Resume OF Conditions Now,
and Later Probabilities,

Washington, Aug. 13.-The effect
of the European war upon agricul.
ture in the United States was dis
cussed to-day for the first time by
Secretary Houston, who pointed out
that the United States was practically
the only large Eood-producing coun-
try undisturbcd.
"lf Germany and Austria cannot
control the high seas" he said, 1T
will be very difficult for food sup
plies from this country to reach
them. This would not have very
serious effect on our exports because
a very small proportion is taken by
these countries. OF the wheat and
wheat flour exported in l9l3-aDout
14O,0OO,0OO bushels-Only l2,OOO,-
600 went to Germany and Austria. If
they were to control the high seas it
would seriously interfere with the
marketing Of the greater part Of the
foodstuns we export.
If Allies Control the Seas.
eff, on the other hand, England,
France and Russia control the high
seas, we should be able to market in
the near future without great diff
Guilty the great mass of our export
able food products. Even if they
cannot control the seas, they are go
ing tn take every sort of reasonable
risk to get supplies, and on account
of their extensive shore lines and
large shipping facilities, they would
secure a very considerable
part Of what they need"
Secretary Houston pointed out
that cotton, corn, wheat and meat
products constituted the largest pro-
portion Of agricultural exports. He
said that his departments statistics
of production and exports of corn
showed decrease of over 600,O0O,-
600 bushels in 1913 and 1912, and
added: 1T does not seem to me
likely that we are going to have a
very large arOunt OF corn to eX-
port"
Importation Of corn the past year
exceeded exports by nearly 2,000,-
600 bushels, and with the crop for
the present year 500, 100000 bushels
less than that of 1912, Mr.. Houston
thinks it probable that this country
could consume 1t all without much
reduction in price, if any. The de-
mand from abroad for corn for food
is expected to help to maintain the
present prices.

further increased by destruction Of
