Should Not Increase Levy.

The legislature convened in annual
session yesterday and already urgent
appeals are being made for increased
appropriations. Should all of the ap-
preparations asked for be granted the
levy for State purposes for 1916 will
have to be fixed at seven mills. The
legislature should not increase the levy
at this time. Governor Manning has
all along stood for economy and in his
annual message yesterday he again
urged that rigid economy be practiced.
Should the levy be increased at this
time the impression will be created in
the minds of many persons that the
present governors administration has
been an expensive one. Better let
some interests suffer for a time than
increase the levy at this session.

The Torrens System.

Public sentim ent in South Carolina
in favor of the Torrens system of reg
istering titles to real estate steadily
grows, and it is probable that the leg
islature will take definite action at this
session. In his annual message to the
general assembly, Governor Manning
had the following to say with reference
to the adoption of the Torrens sys-
TEN: -
! 81 again advise. that you enact a
land registration law based on what is
commonly known as the Torrens sys-
TEN. This is necessary prerequisite
to system of rural credits. A land
registration act will simplify the mat
ter of land titles, reduce the expense
of examination of same and furnish
simple and inexpensive plan that will
cheaper the cost of borrowing money
on real estate, thus making more prac-
ticabie, at small expense, the use OF land
as collateral for lea IS.
A Iorrens system deed gives the
owner the secure feeling that the State
warrants his title and thus puts an end
forever to any doubt or fear OF litiga-
cation.
"The time has arrived for definite
action on this matter, and | strongly
urge upon you the necessity for It's
enactment at this session."

South vitally Affected.

When the Allies bottledup Germany,
cutting off all imports and exports,
they struck the South severe blow.
In the first place, raw cotton would be
selling very much higher were it not
kept from Germany by the Allies, and
American cotton mills have been great
ly embarrassed by the shortage of Ger
man dyes, Now that the planting sea-
son approaches, this section will feel
very keenly the lack. of German potash,
that element of plant food which is so
necessary to the crops of the South.
Ina way, the Allies bottled up the
South when they crippled, or practi-
cally destroyed, Germany's commerce.
= Senator E. D. Smith is making an
effort to have the way opened for Ger
man potash, but it is not likely that he
will succeed. The blockade has been
too helpful t. the Allies for them to
yield inch at this stage of the war.
Just as the Germans have learned to
make powder without American cot
ton, so will Americans have to learn
to make Gotten without German potash.

Congressman Byrnes is again behind a

Secret of Success in Winter Egg
!. ~ Production.

E. The secret of success. in winter
egg production is briefly told in the
following words: Keep the fowls
healthy. contented and comfortable
by common sense care, wholesome
feed and modern open-air quarters.
The top, both sides and back of
the house must be tight. Under
these conditions there will not be
drafts on the birds to cause colds
and make them liable to attacks of
roup. Have the house so located
that. the water readily drains off
and have about ten or twelve inches
coarse gravel or cinders in the bot
tom so that the floor is dry at all
times. Have the house face the
south and have an opening three
feet wide and as long as the house.
Have straw on the floor in which
snch grain as corn, wheat and oats
is thrown 80 that the birds must
scratch for it. See that they have
green feed. If they have no patch
of rye, oats or rape to run on, hang
up cabbage head, or a turnip, on
a nail close to the floor to give
them exercise in picking at it and
at the same time provide their green
feed: Give about one pint grain
feed to- each dozen birds each morn
ing and the same amount in the
evening. Just before going to roost
allow them 10 have hot bran mash
made by cooking some vegetable as
turnips and mixing this with bran,
using boiling water and mix until
the mash is of rather dry consist
.ency. yet thoroughly moist. IF the
nights grow cold hang a 'burIap
curtain over the open front at
night and remove it in the morning.
Have the perches on level in the
rear Of the building over a platform
to catch the droppings, and clean
the droppings off once week and
scatter on the farm.-North Carroll
ma Experiment Station.

spartanbure,s industrial School.

There is an institution located near
Spartanburg that is somewhat out of
the regular order of things. 1t is call
ed the Textile Industrial Institute and
was founded with the view of providing
a way for poor boys and girls to obtain
an: education. At this institute the pu-
pills work half their time and attend
school the other half. The school has
been great success and has grown to
such an extent that larger quarters
must be provided. The business men
of Spartanburg are endeavoring to
raise $50, 900 by popular subscription
for the needed enlargement.
This industrial school deserves to
succeed. The Advertiser would like to
see scores of others like 1t established
over the State. Had there been one
or more schools of this kind in each
county generation ago, the percent
age of illiteracy in this State would
now be considerably less. Whenever
an institution is founded for the pur-
pose of aiiingIpoor boys and girls to
get an education it should be loyslly
supported just as those Spartanourg
people are doing. Anderson, Green
vile, Columbia, Charleston and many
other towns and cities should thus as:
sist ambitious boys and girls. It means
better men and women, better fathers
and mothers, better homes, for the fu-
ture in South Carolina.

Concentrated I've Not a Fer
tilizer.

A number of farmers have writ
ten asking whether they can use the
concentrated lye as a source for
po.ash. No, the lye is not potash.
but caustic soda, and is of no use as
a fertilizer, and if it was potash it
would be too costly to use for this
purpose.
Then some are asking about using
hickory ashes in making a fertilizer,
with cottonseed meal and acid phes-
phate. The large percentage of lime
in tie ashes will be apt to make
some volatile carbonate of ammonia
from the nitrogen in the meal, and
it would tend to revert the phos-
phoric acid in the acid phosphate
and make it less available. Ashes
spread literally broadcast and har-
rowed in will make fine source of
potash if they have been kept dry
and are not leached. Then mix the
cottonseed meal and acid phosphate,
and ifany ammonia is set free it
will Le absorbed by the soil. But
never mix ashes OF lime with mate
rials having organic nitrogen in
them. We have told this so often
that all of our readers should know
it.-Progressive Farmer.

A Level for Making Terraces.

Several years since / saw de-
scriptlon of a terracing level in a
farm paper made in the shape OF
the letter A, the two uprights l6
feet inches apart at the bottom,
brought together and bolted at top,
with plumb bob swinging from
the center. Having some terracing
to do. / made one of this kind,
which did the work all right, but
was rather slow and unwieldly 10
handle.
Deciding that level would do
much better than the plumb bob, /
changed mine and made it as fol.
lows, which any one at all handy
with tools can do:
Take two pieces 4 inch by 3 in
ches by 8 feet for uprights, one
piece 4 inch by 8 inches by 10 feet
bolted to the uprights at the top,
and one piece 4 inch by inches l2
feet bolted to the uprights about one
foot from the tops, on which the
level rests. This latter piece should
be as nearly straight as possible,
and should be bolted exactly the
sane distance from the bottom at
ends.
Now try it, placing the level on
the center piece. See that the air
space in the glass is right; if not;
shorten one of the uprights until it
is.
!. Should you wish to give your ter
race, sixth-inch fall in the 100 feet,
raise one of the uprights one inch,
or one.sixth of the fall you wish it
to have, then mark on the level how
far from the center the air space
moves and in using it see that it
always moves back to the mark.
This will be found much quicker
than, the old way Of making one of
the uprights longer By. mailing q
block on it, as you can use either
end in front.-Jno. F. Kemp in

TEN OF Economic Suicide,
Says II. G. Hastings

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special. .)-"The peo.
pie Of the south must quit eating their
cotton or other so-called cash crop
before it is made If they ever expect
to accumulate wealth and have the
comforts and luxuries Of life due
them," says H. G. Hastings, agricul.
tural vice president of the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce, and fore.
most authority on farm conditions in
the southeast.
"The south must stop forever its
time-honored system of economic sui.
cide," says Mr.. Hastings. Advance
steps were made last year toward a
condition of farm independence in the
Cotton Belt. They were forced steps,
it is true, but they marked an advance
just the same, and more bread and
meat, more grain, forage and other
food and feed stuffs were made In
1915 than ever before, with the result
there are tens of thousands of farm
ers better off than in past years,
despite short crops and business de-
preston.

they were made, financially suicidal
