WILSON MONEY
 ROUTS HUGHES

NEW TOR, Oct. 25 - Betting on the election outcome has taken a sudden turn. Brokers believe that before the end of the week odds will be offered against Hughes in favor of Wilson.
 Wilson money is coming on the curb and being offered to the brok- ers for betting purposes. All the Hughes money on the market is be- ing coverel by a bet of nEne to ten. Bets are becoming scarcer and scarcer. WilsoI money seems to have routed the Hughes coin.

Boil Weeyil Conference.

The boil weevil conference which
is TO be held at Fairfax. Barnwell
county. on December IL ought to be
largely attended by the farmers and
bankers and merchants OF that sec
tion of the State. This is the part of
South Carolina in which. in all hu-
man probability. the weevil will gain
Il footing first Upon the extent to
which the work OF preparing for the
weevil's coming can be carried dur
ing the next two years will depend
the amount OF injury which the pest
will cause. We are fortunate in this
State in having man like DR.. W.
w. Long TO lead in the plans for the
new agriculture. The policies which
he will advocate have been carefully
matured and the sooner they can be
considered by those whom they are
designated to benefit the better. The
Fairfax conference should have far
reaching consequences. and

CHRISTMAS OVER SEAS.

with peace and an abundance OF ma

The various American committees
for the relief of the war sufferers are

there is some danger of our growing

INTENSIVE METHODS.

The Valdosta CGaD Times believes
as every farmer should. in the inten-
sive method OF farming. In a recent
editorial it hos this to say:
1t is supposed to be discreditable
to the United States that our acre
yield of important crops is conside-
ably less than that of other highly
civilized countries such as England.
France and Germany. AS a matter
o. fact. il has not been discreditable
in the past but will be in the future
if the art OF intensive farming should
this country as Europe.
In the past the difference in cond,-
tions fully justified our farmers
methods TO cultivate large tracts
more or less carelessly than to cover
less ground in the painstaking in
tensive manner; and. as our farmers
nave produced as abundantly as
there was any need of there has
been no good reason for complaining
of their methods.
Until now. therefore, it has been
pointless TO talk of discredit and not
worth while to call attention to the
fact that our average yield of what
has been scarcely ID bushels to the
acre while that of several crowded
European countries has been more
than 30 bushels. that our oat aver
age has been 80 bushels while that
OF Europe has been 80 bushels, or
that our potato yield has been about
95 bushels while that of Germany
for example, has been about 200
bushels. But in the future the con-
ditiOns here will have changed: our
country also will be crowded. all our
lands will be taken up, and the de.
mands OF our enormous population
will necessitate intensive farming.
Already the conditions are chang
ing and it is high time for our agri-
oulturists to begin the study Of in
tensive methods The time is com
ing when our soil. acre for acre. must
be made to produce as ahundantly as
the soil of Europe.

LAND A GOOD INVESTMENT.

The late Samuel Wittkowsky who
was an enthusiast on the matter Of
real estate increasing in value. as
the years go by. and who did so much
to get the Building and Loan asso-
Citations OF North Carolina into sue
cessful operation. was once asked
lif he believed that land would de-
Grease in value. His reply was char
acteristic Said he: How can il
do so. When the Lord was in the
business OF creating things He
brought into existence just so much
land, and with only one pair OF hu-
man beings, Adem and Eve. to pos
sess it. No more land has been. or
will be. created since. but just think
of the teeming millions OF creatures
that now occupy the earth, and still
they come
The Columbia State is evidently OF
the opinion that land will not de.
crease in value. judging from its ut
terance of yesterday as follows:
Regardless of the boil weevn,
lands in South Carolina. despite pc
RODS of temporary depression. viii
steadily increase in value. In our
opinion. the average acre OF land, not
the acre that produces a bale of cot
ton or two bales and is near TO a
town. has not increased in price so
rluch in the last 80 years as it should
have increased even if there had been
no other factor in the equation than
increase in the numbers of the peo-
pie.
