bacon.

Farm Machinery Progress.

Progress in agriculture owes much
to the machine methods of doing
hand labor. Back in primitive times,
the savage planted seeds by means of
sharpened stick. This marks the
beginning Of farm machinery When
the savage learned that by Destroy
ing the weeds that came up with his
crops his yields would become great
er, he ceased to be a savage. When
he learned to prepare seed bed and
cultivate his crops, he became civil
lied. An old adage says that "Civ-
ilization begins and ends with the
plow"
Reaping was at one time per-
formed by hand Jack-John invented
a reap hook which saved much time
and labor for these ancient farm
ers. Later the cradle came into use.
Less than century ago Mr.. Nc
Cormick invented the reaping ma
chine. About thirty years ago the,
self binder was put into operation.
The latest harvesting machine puts
the threshed grain into sacks in the
field. There is nothing to do except
to gather up the sacks of wheat aft,
rer harvesting, thereby saving the ex-
ira. expense required to have the
grain threshed With this machine
nearly two hundred bushels can be
put into sacks in one day, which
would have required the ancient peo-
pie who gathered by hand more than
a thousand days to put in the same
condition. Thus by the use of the
, up-to-date machinery the saving in
time is all the way from half to a
thousand times. One day in this age
Of the world means something. Hun
dreds of acres of growing crops may
be cultivated and harvested by one
man. In ancient days one man did
we'll to care for a small garden
spot.
The influence of agricultural ma
chinery on quantity and quality Of
farm productions has brought about
many changes. The year 1850 marks
the transition from the use of i'm
plements for hand production to
those for machine production. In
the time of Columella the Roman
farmer spent four and half days
in the production of one bushel of
wheat. According to government re-
ports, in 1880 in the United States
the farmer spent three hours at a
cost of 17.7 cents in producing, one
bushel of wheat. At the present
time the same result is obtained in
nine minutes at cost of three and
half cents per bushel.
l have dealt only with machinery
for the wheat grower, but improve
ments along other lines have been
equally great.
The secret of successful and profit
able farming at the present time is
the use of tractors. Of course some
of our lands are too steep for tractor
farming, in which case good ma
chinery drawn by horse power will
be the only solution for some time
yet. But l verify believe that the
time is near at hand when some OF
our great agricultural inventors will
come to our rescue with some kind
of machinery that will put the hill
farmer on par with the farmer on
the plains. Let us hope that that
time is near at hand.-Home and

FACES Sl,000,00O DEFICIT
STATE INSTITUTIONS UNABLE TO
GET MONEY.
Tax Levy Insufficient.-Matter OF FL
nancing Will BE Among Big Ques-
tons in Legislature.

Columbia, Dec 13.-The State of
South Carolina is facing a deficit of
over $1,OO0,000, and for the first
time probably in it's history, has no
money on hand to meet current needs.
Of the s1,000,000 deficit the State
has already borrowed 100000 for
expenses, the total amount authorized
by the legislature, and tonight the
State is short $4,000 of it's actual
needs and cannot borrow any more
money.
The State institutions are unable
to get the money which has already
been appropriated for them by the
last legislature. The State Hospital
for the Insane has been without funds
for three months and the Citadel,
Winthrop college, the University of
South Carolina and other institutions
are going through the same expert
ence. The trustees of the University
have made arrangements for borrow
ing money to run the institution and
it is understood that the regents of
the Asylum recently borrowed $780,
900 to carry on the current needs of
that institution until taxes are avail
able.
Small Sum Collected.
Only about 100000 in taxes due
since October have been collected by
the State. The warrants for the high
schools which have been delayed on
account of the depleted condition of
the treasury will be paid now as
vouchers for those in the hands of
the county treasurer were mailed out
by the comptroller general, Carlton
w. Sawyer, tonight.
The whole trouble appears to be
that the legislature at it's last session
failed to make a tax levy sufficient to
meet the appropriations. In spite of
the fact that the appropriations last
year were as large, if not larger, than
the preceding year, the levy was only
six and one-half mills as against
seven mills the preceding year.
Should Have Been More.
One high State official estimated
that the levy should have been one
mill more than it was and he believes
this would have prevented the pres
ent deficit and the embarrassment to
the State together with the prompt
payment and forwarding of taxes.
The matter of financing the State
will be one of the important ques-
tions to be solved by the approach
ing session Of the legislature. They
will not only have to levy tax to
take care of the deficit which will be
carried over, but unless they hold
down the demands the appropriations
will out run even those of the last
two sessions. The appropriation bill
last session carried about $2,500,000
and if one-half the demands for in
creases is allowed it will reach the
S3,O00,000 mark next session. The
State has always had to borrow
money until taxes were collected.

SMART VELVET COATS
WITH COLLARS or FUR

fl
For afternoon or dressy wear there
are smart little velvet coats, made
with semi-fitted body. to which is at
tached full circular peplum extend
ing almost to the knees. Fur forms
the collar and trims the cuffs.
Many of the coats are being made
to button up high on the chest, with
deep collars at the back. This will
permit the stoles of fur to fall grace
fully on either side, and not neces.
sarily to be drawn up very high to the
throat.
A black satin collar, fastening in
front with a knot and ends, has at the
back a frill Of lace edged crgandie
above and below the collar at the
back only. Another black collar de-
sign has all around the top q ruffie Of
accordion plated n1aline which rounds
at the front
Many suitings are striped or checked
or barred. There are quantities OF
small checks. Apart from the usual
black and white and blue and white
and gray and white, there are curious
combinations OF colors. such as purple
and brown, green's and blues, gold and
blue, gold and prime.
