PIGEONS FOR MARKET.
Squads Can Be Raised to Advantages
in South Carolina.

The climate. of South Carolina is
ideal for growing pigeons, according
to the poultry husbandman of Glenn
son college. The winters Of this Sec
tion are not too cold, nor are the
summers too hot for the production
of squads on a commercial scale. IT.
is only in the moulting period that
the number of eggs and young
pigeons will be decreased.
No special pigeon house is neces
sary in this State. An open-fr0nt
chicken house, 10 feet long and B.
feet wide, and with a height of Z feet
in front and feet in back, will arrs
commodate 80 pairs Of pigeons. The
house should face south and should
have the east, north and west sides
boarded up tightly, as described IN
Farmers Reading Course Bulletin 16,
tof Clemson college.
To complete the plant, erect IN
front of the house frame Is feet
long, 100 feet wide, and s feet o.
inches high, using 2x2 inch posts and
1x3 inch, boards. Cover the frame
with l-inch mesh wire netting. This
"fy" gives the pigeons the necessary
exercise and the small wire keeps
sparrows out.
Good varieties are White KING
White Homers, White Swiss Mon
DANES, and Red, Yellow OF Splashed
/ ECarneaux. White pigeons are prefer
red because they can be sold alive at
good prices when a surplus Of stock
arises. For some time the demand
for good breeding stock will take
care of the supply and the SQUADS can
also be killed, chilled, packed in ice
and sold in Atlanta and other mar
kets.

Several Lives Lost and Vast Amount
OF Property Ruined in Earthquake
Which Rocks Cluster of Towns In

Ell, CENTRIC. CAL. June o3.-Sharp
earth shocks to-day centered the
anxiety of Imperial Valley settlers on
the head gates OF the great irrigation
system which had transformed nearly
c5o,0o0 acres Of desert, Tonight tho
intakes of the Colorado River, near
Yuma. and the hcadway at Sharp's were

Engineers reported that another

in the valley and cost half dozen or
more lives in the Mexican border town
OF MeHicali undoubte edly would wreck
the works there.

Several fires at Calexico added to the

Trades Union Leaders Promise Lloyd
George They Will Rally Men to

Sufficient Supply Of Munitions.

LONDON. June 23.-David LLOYD
George, Minister of Munitions, has
given British labor seven days in which
TO make good the promise of its leaders
that its men will rally to the factories
in sufficient numbers to produce a maxi
mum supply OF munitions of war.
This was the most striking statement
in the new minister's speech in the
House of Commons to-day, in which
he outlined the measure designed not
only to control the munitions output.
but the men responsible for produc-
tion.
The first of the seven allotted days
will begin tomorrow. and with it's
dawning VIII be launched a great cam
paen to recruit the workers.
ADEaUATE SUPPLY NECESSARY
OR CONFUSION INEVITABLE
''1 had a fresh discussion with the
trades union leaders," said Lloyd
George. "and told them If an adequate
supply of labor could not be secured,
compulsion was inevitable. The union
representatives answered:
Give us Il chance TO supply the
men needed in seven days: IL we can
not get them. we will admit that our
case is considerably Weakened
The seven days will begin to-
morrow" continued Lloyd George. "and
advertisements will appear in all the
papers. The union representatives
have engaged $50 town halls as re-
cruiting offices. and the assistance of
every one has been invited"
There Will be no age limit to the
men enrolled; they will not wear uni
I'm
time to the work, and they will re-
ceivc certificate saying that they are
working for King and country.
The munitions bill makes strikes and
lockouts illegal: provides for compul-
sorry arbitration; limits the profits of
employers; creates voluntary army
OF workmen pledged to 20 wherever
they are wanted. and contains other
provisions which will give the min
lister full powers to carry out the plans
he has devised to develop production
of munitions.
