"sOw OATS AND WHEAT"
Clcmson's Extension Forces Preparing
to Urge Sowing OF Winter Grain
Again.

Clemson College. Aug. 9.-"sow
oats and wheat" will once more be the
advice urged upon the farmers Of
South Carolina for their fall practise.
On the theory that general conditions
this fall will be very similar to those
Of last fall. especially insofar as need
for economizing and for diversified
tion Is concerned, the extension forces
OF Clemson College will devote them
selves. az last year, to urging the SOW
ing of winter grain crops.
The Extension Division Is Issuing
two posters which will be distributed
about the State. One poster gves
advice for the seeding Of oats and
wheat. The other urges farmers 20
take THE Second Step-Livestock." ="
These posters will he placed conspicu-
ously. This will be the first act of tho
fall campaign.
Clemson College urges farmers TO
SOW large areas to oats this fall. To
this advice is added the warning that
farmers should get their oats in the
ground early and not wait until late,
as so many did last year. The seeding
OF oats should begin about the end of
September.
Farmers are advised to SOW enough
wheat for home consumption. The
state has every reason to feel satisfied
with the wheat experiment of last
fall. Today there are probably more
Hour mills I'm South Carolina than ever
before and the railroads have granted
very favorable shipping rates. South
Carolina Is now i'm position to raise
enough wheat for her own bread and
this Is what should he done.
The college will also urge upon
farmers the Importance of giving close
attention 10 fall and winter gardens
ana To poultry. These things are
money-savers that are possible to
every farmer.
Although conditions are enough like
those of last year To warrant advising
the same farm practise. the general
agricultural situation Is expected TO
he far brighter this fall and IL is not
likely that there will be anything like
the generalization and discourage
ment OF 1914. Economy has been the
watchword on South Carolina farms
this year and farmers will benefit ac-
cordingly.

MEXICANS GROWING UP.
Raoul MaderO Says People Are just
Beginning to Think for Themselves.

81 Paso, Texas, Aug. 9.-Gen.
Raoul Madero, commander of di-
vision of the Villa forces, Villa COVER
nor, of Neuvo Leon State and men,
ber of Nuevo of the late President
Francisco MaderO. issued a statement
today on the peace plan of the Pan
American Conference. After prefac-
ing with a declaration that the subject
matter was his personal view, and Of
no official weight or significance, Gen.
Madero said:
Nothing Is more desired by the
Mexican people than the re-establish-
ment of peace and stable government,
but the pride Of a sovereign people
naturally demands that if assistance
must come from an outside source that
it must be accomplished with honor 20
ourselves and without in any way in
fringing our national pride.
During this revolution many people
have openly advocated what is called
armed Intervention. President Wilson
followed the even course which now
seems to be eliminating in a satisfac-
tory solution.
'The people Of Mexico are beginning
now to think for themselves. In 1910
the principal reforms fought for were
political: that is to say, certain ma
for president with no reelection, and
equal franchise. The agrarian problem
was considered in a secondary way.
To-day as evidenced not only by
the successive plans of several leaders,
but the acts and statements Of the
leaders and the people as well, we
have a very patent indication of the
healthy growth which the Mexican
people have gone through, and that
the finished product is very nearly
ready to emerge from the furnace.
1T is my belief that foreign capital
must and will be encouraged to invest
in Mexico, and it will receive every
guarantee and protection. / do not
mean that special privileges should be
given as was the rule of Porflrio Diaz.
but that capital tending to establish
industries and earn it's right to be in
Vested will he encouraged.

with is a sound and safe tariff law"
