Wants Santee Crossing.

The Herald wound like to suggest a
meeting of the Orangeburg and Clar-
ondon delegations and the two super
Yisors-elect to consider operating a
flat across the Santee as toll busi-
ness. 1t Is perfectly apparent, we
think. that there should be a passage
to Charleston from this territory. We
suggest a fiat with cable because the
cost of the bridge would be too great
and would have to be renewed every
time the Santee got on a swell. The
toll would cover the cost Of operation
as 1t would be worth dollar to
cross. with toll rated by tonnage

CROP ROTATION INCREASES FER
TILTTY. ~" 800

Why the One-Crop System is Unsafe.
Clemson College. Sept. 2O.-Crop
rotation is the foundation on which
permanent agriculture is built. Be-
low are six reason why the one-crop
system is unsafe and why the farmer
should abandon this for more up-to-
date methods: ~
First-Bccause the system depends
upon the market and crop conditions
of the one crop alone. Failure of
crop or failure of market alike bring
serious disaster.
Second-Because it does not pro-
vide for the maintenance of soil fer
tility. ">a
Third-Because it fails to provide
a sufficient livestock industry to con-
sumo the waste products Of the
farm and make it's waste lands pro-
ductive. = -"
Fourth-Because it does not pro-
vide for a system of farm manage-
ment under which labor. teams and
tools may be used to the fullest ad-
vantage. yF'sf
..t
Fifth-Because it brings returns
in cash but once a year instead OF
turning the money over more than
once a year. IS
Sixth-Because it does not pro-
duce the necessary foods to supply
the people upon the farm and keep
them in health and strength. a.
