SOCIETIES TO NAME
BALANCE OF BOARD
Sixteen Navy Advisers to Be Chosen
By Eight of the Leading
Scientific Bodies.

Washington, July 19-Sixteen Amer
ican scientists to form, with Thomas
A. Edison as chairman, an advisory
board for proposed bureau of inven-
ton in the navy department, will be
selected by leading scientists socie
ties. Secretary Daniels announced to-
5ay that he had asked the presidents
of eight societies to select two mem
bers each to become members of the
board
The societies are the American
c.: emicai society, American Institute
of Electrical Engineering, American
Institute of Mining Engineers, Ameri-
can Mathematical society, American
Society of Civil Engineers, American
Society of Mechanical Engineers. Am
erican Aeronautical society, Inventor
Guild.
Mr.. Daniels explained that the Sc
lection of the eight societies did not
exclude other organizations of the
same character which it might be
found advisable to call on later, as
there was no final limitation On the
membership of the committee. In his
letter to the presidents the secretary
wrote:
"I am writing to ask the member
ship of your society to give practical
Bile and valuable aid and needed CO.
operation by selecting representatives
of their body to serve as members of
the advisory committee. We
are anxious to begin as soon as posi-
BILE, and if your society can furnish
me the names at an early date it will
help the prompt organization of the
advisory board very much. In adopt
ing this course I have the emphatic
approval of Mr.. Edison, and he agrees
,entireIy with me that your society
should be represented in this way, and
that no better met1od of getting the
kind of men could be devised"

INOCULATION IS NOT
NECESSARY FOR PEAS
Numerous Authorities Say Farmers
Would Waste Money on Gull
lures for COWpeaS.

Clemson College, July 22.-Many
farmers in South Carolina are uncer-
tain as 20 whether or not it is neces-
sary to inoculate soil in this State for
the successful cultivation of cowpeas.
Inquiries on tie subject are coming to
Clemson college. In the opinion of the
college authorities, South Carolina
farmers should not spend money for
commercial cultures for cowpeas, since
the crop does not need it in this State
at present
In replying to letter from bank
er in the lower part of the State, w.
W. Long, director of extension at
Clemson college and State agent of
demonstration, writes:
upon receipt of your letter, had
all the literature on the subject in
vestigated, but in order to make as
surance doubly sure and in order to
settle this question and to get the
basis for an opinion that may be taken
as authoritative, l telegraphed some
of the leading authorities in the South
ern States asking for an expression.
Ali the replies support tie conclusion
that in the South generally cowpea
inoculation is unnecessary because not
profitable"
Mr.. Longs letter then points out
that in six publications on cowpeas,
from Missouri, Texas, Delaware, Ken
lucky and the United States depart
ment of agriculture, no statement IS
made to the effect that it is necessary
to inoculate soil for cowpeas. In a
bulletin on tne subject for inoculation,
Prof Garman, of the Kentucky expert
ment station, says:
CITE cowpea organism has proved
very commonly, and is perhaps inva-
riably, present wherever cowpeas have
been grown in the State, not, it is
believed, because it is always present
in soil, but because it is generally
conveyed on the seeds themselves"
That is to say, the seed of the cow
pea generally carries the legume bac-
terra.
Among the telegrapiic opinions re-
ceiVed were those from Director B. W.
Kilgore, Of the North Carolina expert
ment station; Director H. A. Morgan,
of the Tennessee experiment station,
and Director J. F. Duggar, of the Ala
bama experiment station. All replies
were to the effect that they do not
advise cultures for cowpeas.
In view of those opinions and ex-
pressions and of its s,-n investiga-
tions, the extension department of
Clemson college advises farmers not
to spend t!eir money for commercial
cultures with which to inoculate cow
peas.

THIN BREEDING PATCHES.
See That Cotton is Trimmed Now to
Only One Stalk to Hill.

Clemson College, July 22.-Those
farmers who have not yet done so
should Immediately give attention to
tleir breeding patches of cotton and
see that the patch is thinned to the
proper distances between the stalks
and to only one plant to the hill.
These details are important in breed
ing work. Tlere is yet time to do
this work.
The botany division of Clemson col
lege advises that where one wishes to
make a study of individual stalks and
to select superior individuals for fur
ther breeding, it is absolutely essential
that such stalks be given distance to
develop normally In breeding patches
and progeny rows the stalks should
be at least three feet apart in the row
and the stand should be as nearly even
and perfect as possible.
1t is especially important that only
one stalk be left in hill. Cotton is
very seldom thinned to such a stand
when it is chopped out and frequently
one does not realize that it mas been
left too thick until the plants are al
most mature.
By now the plants are large enough
for one to see where tee stalks are
crowded and it will be an easy matter
to go through the breeding patch and
pull out the surplus stalks. This
should be done now. The longer one
caves tie plants, the more will one
dislike to pull them out Selections
made this fall will mean very little un-
less the cotton has been perfectly
thinned

TIME TO PURCHASE
COVER CROP SEED.
Veteh Will be Scarce, But Ample Burr
Glover Seed to Be Had in
South Carolina.

Clemson College, July 22.-It is time
now to plan for next falls sowings of
winter cover crops and farmers should
advise themselves at once Of the seed
situation, as European war conditions
have brought about certain peculiari-
ties in tbs situation.
There will be little hairy vetch to
be had in this cocntry this year and
hairy vetch is the only kind thai Glenn
son college advises Souta Carolina
farmers to SOW. Oregon or common
vetch does not do very we'll in this
State. Most of the hairy vetch seed
sown in this country comes from Rus
sia and the war has cut off importa-
tons
1t will be possible, however, for
South Carolina farmers to get plenty
of burr clover seed and t1ey are ad-
7Bsed to sow this and crimson clover
for their winter legumes
Fortunately, large quantity of
3burr clover seed was made in this
State this year and the extension di-
vision of Clemson college has the
names of number of farmers who
haye burr clover seed for sale. All
who desire to purchase seed can get
IN touch with these farmers by writ
ing to the extension division Of
Clemson college.
They should not delay about buying
the burr clover seed, however. The
demand from outside is strong and
the college has received many inquir-
les from Alabama, Mississippi and
Georgia. One South Carolina farmer
is now planning to ship carload OF
burr clover seed ito Alabama.
Farmers are not advised to delay
purchasing in the hope that prices
win be lower later in the season. The
demand is so strong that it is not
probable that prices will be lower than
at present.
The strongest limiting factor in
South Carolina agriculture is lack OF
humus and the most economical way
to get humus in the soil is by grow
ing winter legumes and turning un-
der in spring. TIE growing and plow
ing under of winter Iegumes will not
only put humus into the soil, but il
will also add nitrogen and will thus
mean a saving to farmers Sthe NOS

MAKE NEW EFFORT
TO SAVE BECKER
Counsel Present Long Statement to
Whitman-FOr Respite
Anyhow.

New York, July 20.-Another effort
to save tie life of Charles Becker,
sentenced to die Wednesday, July %,
for instigating the murder of Herman
Rosenthal, was made tonight when a
$4,000 word statement prepared by
Becker in Sing Sing prison death
house and said to contain new facts
was placed in the hands of Gov. WHIT
man at Albany.
With the statement was a request
that tee governor grant the con-
facts now disclosed for the first time
facts now disclosed for thte first time"
Publication of the statement here to-
night followed an announcement by
Martin T. Manton of counsel for Beck
er that within the next few days an
application would be made before a
supreme court justice for a new trial
for Becker on the ground of newly dis
covered evidence.
Becker's statement is a chronologi-
cal history of what he says were his
dealings with Rosenthal and others
mentioned in the murder case This
communication was accompanied by a
copy of the argument used by w
Bourke Cochran of Becker's counsel
recently before United States Supreme
Court Justice Hughes for a writ of
error. The latter document was in
cluded in the documents sent to the
governor that he might know the
grounds on which Mr.. Cochran sought
writ of error.
Sullivan Mentioned.
The name of the late Timothy D.
Sullivan, at the time of the Rosenthal
affair State senator, is brought into
Becker's statement at length. Becker
claims that Sullivan had intervened
with the police in an effort to get per-
mission for Rosenthal to run his gam
bling place, saying that he was fnan-
cially interested in the house and
wanted to ihelp Rosenthal.
Later, after Rosenthal's place was
raided and Rosenthal began publish
ing charges against Becker, Sullivan,
according to the statement, tod the
police lieutenant that Rosenthal must
be induced to leave town. This was
not long before the assassination o,
Cc3entLal.
Becker says it is common report ttat
sum of money was raised, presuma
bly, by Rose, from the gamblers to get
RosenthaI away. Rosenthal refused
the sum, but consented to go away for
a larger sum. 1t is said it was for
this larger sum that he was waiting
at the Hotel Metropole when shot.
TIE statement is accompanied by a
supplemental document, also framed
by Becker and really a part of his
story, but revised somewhat by his at
torneys. In this the condemned man
declares at one point that if he is to
die he is as ready now to meet his
fate as he has any reason to think he
ever will be. He adds that there is
only one service that can be rendered
him now, and that is aid in finding
evidence that will establish his inno-
cence.

They Led to Edicts Against Their Use
In Some German States.
The latest instance of q European
country enacting laws concerning dress
occurred at the time of the FEench
revolution, when some rulers of Ger.
man states forbade their subjects tc
wear trousers, these being held to indi.
cate revolutionary opinions. The cleo
tor of Hesse-Cassel, besides prohibiting
the obnoxious garments, had the con-
victs employed on road sweeping dress
ed in trousers so as to inspire disgust
for sans-culotte fashions.
The term 'sans-culotte" means with.
out breeches," and during the French
revolution the ''sans-culottes, who de-
nounced every one who wore breeches,
finally went beyond their opponents
and wore twice as much cloth around
their legs-in a word, adopted the mod
ern trousers and made them the badge
of a party.
Napoleon wore trousers on state Oc-
casions after he had been crowned
SApelOL' dAS dLny was Lue uISG that
adopted trousers, and they kept prog
ress, step by step, with the march OF
the French legions. The Duke OF
Wellington would insist on wearing
pantaloons-or trousers, as they arc
now called-when he attended certain
social functions, although he was al
most alone in so doing. This was
about the year 1914, but by 1880 trous
ers were worn by almost everybody
