BETTER THAN COTTON,
Former Steamboat Man Succeeds
With SOil-McCaslSill of Conway
Grows Fruits and Potatoes and
Breeds Pigs Also.

Columbia, Dec. 22.-In his efforts to
ascertain what has been done in South
Carolina recently in the matter of SEN
sible farming, Commissioner Watson
has come across some interesting
matter. The following letter from w.
S. McCaskill Of Conway, in reply to
an inquiry from the State department
of agriculture, will prove of great in
terest at this moment when the at
tention of all Is turned to farming
along new lines.
I'm April, 1911" writes Mr.. McCas-
kill, II gave up steamboating and
moved out of town in search Of bet
ter health and located on a patched
up parcel Of former negro patches. 66
acres, composed chiefly Of hedge rows,
stumps, worn-out bitches and briar
patches. My first days work was to
set out sc peach trees. They gave us
a surplus Of s26 the second year and
$5S this year, selling in midsummer
on local markets as high as 80 cents a
dozen for Elbertas.
my spray pump, which was per-
haps the first one in the county, has
assured my success, the argument Of
learned CD neighbors to the contrary
notwithstanding. This certainly beats
aci and will keep it up.
Last year I raised a half breed
Tamworth gelt and ventured to risk a
small area in pasture. Bred her in
May to a registered Duroc, have just
gathered $50 out Of that investment,
with the two choicest pigs left. This
beats cotton for me. and 1 will en-
large on the hog proposition also.
Have planted Irish potatoes two
seasons on halves with a Baltimore
commission house. They furnish the
fertilizer, one ton per acre, and half
the barrels. When the stand is good
we get about 100 bushels per acre,
which has paid we'll for the labor,
which is mostly in planting and in
harvesting.
1--WE plant potatoes 1-2 feet be-
tween rows. Corn is planted in the
five foot alleys in April. After pota-
toes are dug we plant what was the
2 1-2 foot alley in peanuts. and lay
by with cowpeas broadcast, making
four crops planted and harvested in
eight months. all with one application
Of fertilizer. The corn averages so
bushels per acre, peanuts and peas a
very fair crop-which the hogs gath
cred and gave pork in exchange. This
beats King Cotton SO far that 1 have
rebelled against that monarch.
"a lack Of agricultural education
means hard times for too many thou
sands Of US. Scientific methods are
the exception and not the rule in this
county, but under such methods to-
bacco nets around $3.50 per acre,
Strawberries $500, etc. The clovers
grow to perfection here. Velvet beans,
soy beans and most Of the pasture
grasses do we'll and still very few OF
us would recognize one Of those plants
II we met 1t in the road. We are not
from Missouri, but we need to be
shown"

THE MEMORANDA OF BERLIN

Some Alleged Preliminary Deductions
That Went Astray.
Philadelphia Public Ledger.
In the matter of preliminary de-
ductions Germany went astray. Ac-
cording to the memoranda of Berlin,
England would be putting down civil
war In Ireland. the Beers would
make a break for independence In
South Africa and the Indian Princes
wipe out the Eastern Empire OF Give
and Hastings: France would he still
quarreling over the Caillaux affair;
Belgium would be supine; Italy must
stand by its Teutonic allies; Alsace
and Lorraine would resist the claims
OF France.
