Japs First to Cultivated Oysters

AS early as 1920, at least, oysters
were grown by artificial means in
Japan, and long before the descend
ants of the Mayfower pilgrims had
realized the desira bility for oyster cul-
ture the Japanese had grasped the
situation, and provision for an enlight-
ened administration and utilization of
oyster grounds. Old as the industry is
in Japan, it has not grown to great
Importance in itself, the aggregate
output being valued at less than a.
quarter Of a million dollars a wear.

payers have due cause to appeal for
relief from all incompetence and mis-
use now in authority in the State.
1t is meet that the taxpayers recog-
nize the symptoms of disease and
extravaganza that prevails in State
affairs, and the appeal that they make
to the common sense and best inter-
est of the State is to become alert,
overthrow present incompetents by
proper organization and agitation
and substitute therefor a new vigor-
Gus and competent set of officials and
legislators, who will have a due re-
gard and care for the real best in
terest of Nevada; who will exercise
their duty the same as workman to
his work tool or who will exercise
their official responsibility the same
as principal to his agent.
Very truly yours,

WHEN TO CUT ALFALFA

On thousands of farms alfalfa
stands now for the first time, thrifty
and attractive. The farmer with his
first alfalfa field wonders when he
may begin to cut ito clip his alfal-
ia coupons and receive his triennial
dividends. Perhaps he is short of
feed. The rich lushness of alfalfa is
both assuring and tempting. When
should he cut it?
The value of alfalfa hay is great if
he cuts it a little before bloom, or
just as it is coming into bloom, for
then all the leaves are green and the
stems tender. Tempted by this con-
dition, many a man has cut his al
falfa too early and seen bad effects
follow. Alfalfa is a peculiar plant.
For its own thrift it should be cut
from time to time, yet if it is cut
day too soon it is injured. its growth
receives a strong checking, blight,
rust and other diseases may follow
and the plant may not recover DUR
ing the entire season, if at all. Hap
PLY it is easy to ascertain when al
falfa is ready to cut. One has only
to get on his knees and carefully ex-
anime to see if new shoots have
started down by the earth. When
these shoots have started. whether
there is much or little bloom, if there
are new shoots on most of the plants
then cut the alfalfa as quickly as
possible. Then the new growth will
start in full vigor and the succeeding
crop will come on strongly. This is
the rule for alfalfa cutting during
all its life. So long as alfalfa is max
ing growth, do not cut it. Watch
for its new shoots. When they come
numerously and strong, cut as soon
as possible. Breeders Gazette.

Open Letter By John G. Taylor

Loyelock, Nevada, July 16, 1914.
Emmett Boyle, Spokesman for the
Nevada Tax C,,nsumers-Dear Sir:
Some days ago some one handed me
a Carson Appeal containing criti-
cism by Emmett Boyle of the action
of the Cattlemen's Association, re-
Gently assembled at Elko, with a
special reference to the undersigned,
John G. Taylor.
1t has been determined what owls
least like is a candle light brought
towards them, exposing an owls po-
sition. The light cast in the cattle
mems and taxpayers assemblage as
to high taxation and extravagant
State and county rule has evidently
aroused the tax eaters dislike and
consequently directs upon the men
who protest against extravaganza
the venom of exposed wrong doing.
To sustain State extravaganza, you,
as spokesman, assume that the Elko
assemblage was a party or partisan
affair. 1t was not and is not parti-
san; it was an assemblage of repre-
sentative citizens, who blazed trails,
pioneered and builded in Nevada
when present-day officials were not
known in the State.
The Elko convention had for its
base good citizenship and the advo-
cacy of measures and men which are
capable of giving regulation to pub
lie affairs, with an aim to place the
well-being and rightfulness of every
individual in harmony with the in
terests of the whole.
The complaint of the men assem-
bled was against no individual or
party but against all parties and of
ficials and individuals. Democrat or
Republican, who are drawing big sal
aries, consuming extravagantly while
promoting public extravaganza,
much of the substance and earning
of the thrifty and enterprising, in
which they are violating the idea
that taxation can only have just
application when inspired by the
principles of justice.
To be plain, no man who has pride
in his country and home, and who has
succeeded to the point of being we'll
to-do, will avoid his just responsible
ity to organized society. or to pay
his just due for the support of an
honest. economically administered
government. Every citizen of char
acter must appreciate that taxes must
be apportioned justly to the wealth
of the State. That is fundamental
of good government.
Now, why do taxpayers protest
against the present increased burden
of taxation? Unjust taxation falls
in as burdensome manner upon the
wage Garner as it does upon the large
property owner. This suggests why
their movement for retrenchment is
practical movement.
In tracing the course of the States
progress. the following significant
facts are found. These in an equally
important manner assign powerful

Vote for Manning.

The overwhelming majority rolled
up against Governor Blease and most
of the BIease candidates signifies
that the people of South Carolina
have determined to wipe out Blease-
ism and redeem South Carolina
from its blighting influence. But
the Job is but half completed. II
the vote cast in the first primary be
indicative Of the sentiment Of the
people all over the State, it means
that Richard | Manning will he ON
next Governor.
Mr. Manning Is opposed 10y John
G Richards, who now holds the office
of Railroad Commissioner, with four
years more to serve. He took occa-
sion at every campaign meeting to
state that he intended to support
Blease for the Senate, thus gaining
the appellative of coat-tail swing
er" from the anti-Blease candidates
for Governor and "camp-follower"
from Mr. Irby, a rival Blease Guber-
notorial candidate.
Mr. Richards has been somewhat
of weather-vane in politics. First
Tillmanite, then a Jonesite and
now Bleaseite. At one time a
strenuous champion of the old State
dispensary, then a pronounced pro-
hibitionist and now an ardent local
optiOnist. 1t is hard to say what he
will be two years hence. Il such a
man fit to be Governor?
Richard l Manning will undoubt-
edly win if any considerable major
ity of the people turn out and vote,
but, with the victory in their grasp,
the supporters of Manning should
take no chances. Let every man go
to the polls and express his choice,
whether for Manning or for Rich
ards. If as many as Il hundred
thousand votes he cast we believe
Manning will he nominated by be-
tween forty and fifty thousand ma
jority.

Making Them Sweat. "

In the light Of recent politica
history the following clipping from
the Columbia State Of August II
is amusing:
THE Governor again declared he
would be nominated for the Senate
and Bleaseite for Governor, and
for the next six years I'm going to
make 'em (anti-Bleaseites) sweat,
Just like now, and Bleaseite Gov
ernor is going to make 'em sweat,
too, continued the Governor. -
So Governor Blease said last Sat
urday in Darlington-the quotation
being from the Charleston News
and Courier, which, we believe, he
has praised as fair newspaper.

LIVE LAKE CITY LETTER.
Tobacco Is Selling Well---LOcal
and Personal Items.

Special to The County Record.
Lake City. September IA doz-
en- farmers from Nichols, Ga, and
surrounding community, with Mr. S
J Brown, son of Mr. Harvey Brown,
formerly of the Cades section of
Williamsburg county, this State,
came to Lake City last Wednesday
evening, bringing with them car
load of tobacco to be sold on the
markets here. While in Lake City
the visitors were entertained by
members of the Chamber of Com
merce. In the forenoon on Thurs
day they attended the sales in the
warehouses, noting the method of
handling the weed on the warehouse
floors, the manner in which it is
cared for after it is bought, the va
rious processes incident to its sale,
aad finally the sale" In the after
noon the visitors were given an
automobile ride over surrounding
sections, at which time the merits
of the crop were discussed in
detail; after the ride they were
given barbecue at the plantation
of Mr. NJ Truluck, near town. A
number of the business men, the to-
bacco warehousemen, buyers and
others interested in the tobacco in
duStry here were invited to the feast,
as a generous supply had been prepar-
ed, and score of farmers Of this
section were also there to receive
and entertain the visitors. The car
load of tobacco was sold at the va
rious houses at this place, and de.
spite the fact that it was the first
ever produced in that community,
it brought unusually fair prices. A
letter of thanks has been received
here from the chairman of the COM
mittee of visitors, expressing their
appreciation for the hearty and
pleasant entertainment rendered
them while here.
Mr. E L Brown of Columbia, for

It's yourduty to go to the polls Tuesday, Septem-

partial victory has been gained. The election of
Governor is the peoples fight, he is in the State all

State Mr.. Manning will be elected Governor if the
people go to the polls and vote September 8.
There will be many eleventh hour falsehoods
spread and from past experience the voters of this
State should know that these belowthebelt attacks
should not be believed. Make up your mind now to
vote for good government.
There will be attempts to cloud the issue, but
the people cannot be fooled. Don't Stop Working
