THE WELLS YOU COULD HAVE DUG
Engineer Shows How Energy Spent
Would Establish Many Wells.

Clemson College, Jan. 30.--If you
arc farmer and have your water sup
ply at some distance from the house,
1t Is likely that enough energy has
been spent on carrying water to dig
and wall a number OF conveniently To-
Gated wells. On this subject the fol-
lowing has been received at Clemson
College from the University Of Ne
braska:
twenty-five gallons OF water Is the
average daily house use on most farms.
1t should be $50 gallons. To carry 25
gallons means at least five trips. and
II these trips are up hill 12 feet high,
as Is often the case, a 160-pound man
does as much work in carrying his
body up the hill for 90 days as Is re-
qurcd to dig and wall n we'll ( feet in
diameter and II feet deep. Most wells
are about 80 feet deep; then In four
months time a man has done sufficient
work in carrying water up a l2-foot
hill to dig q well and wall it right at
his back porch, and in ten years he
has wasted 80 wells and still has no

WHY INCREASED GINNINGs


In view OF the Widespread agitation
last year to curtail the cotton crop
and the tacit understanding among the
Laurens county farmers that thcy
would be parties to the plan, il seems
that an explanation of the increase in
the county's crop this season would not
be out of order. There are several
things that contributed to the in
creased ginnings. not least OF which
was the favorable weather for cultiva-
tion and gathering. With the excep-
ton Of few scattered localities. the
weather conditions during the grow
ing and gathering season were as
near ideal as could reasonably be
expected. Fertilization and closer cul-
tivation, therefore, had their effect in
harder and more productive plants.
Ihe price of cotton had it's effect, also
as It encouraged prompt and thorough
picking. 1t Is said that much staple
was left In the field during the previ-
Gus season, when the price was so low.
Another factor in the increased gin
nings was the larger number Of
gins along our borders. Several gins
were In operation along the Saluda
river this year that were not in opera-
ton the year before and they drew sew
eral thousand bales from Greenwood
County which under former conditions
would not have come across the line
AS partly bearing this out, II may be
noted that the gnnings in Greenwood
county this year showed a decrease.
Even with the more favorable weather
and marketing conditions it is hardly
probable that the gnnings for the en-
tire year would have reached 10000
bales. had 1t not bccn for these new
gins along tho Greenwood county line,
and 10000 bales is not near normal
crop for this couny. 1t is estimated
that tho decrease in acreage for this
county was between 10 and 10 per cent.

LAURENs, s. G., FEBRUARY ., 1916.

LAURENS, S. G., FEBRUARY ., 1916.
The New York and New Orleans
Cotton markets have been sagging for
the past several weeks, largely, it is
claimed. on reports OF an expected in
crease in the acreage the coming sea-
son. We believe that the wise farmer
will take hint from this and prepare
against it.
according to reliable statistics there
were fewer railroads built iii the Unit
ed States during the year 1915 than in
many years past and there were more
railroads in rcceivership than ever be-
fore, yet efforts still continue to in
crease their burdens. as is evidenced
by legislation now in progress in Co
lumba. 1t is possible that a two-ccnt
passenger rate is profitable in more
thickly settled states than ours. but
it is hardly probable than even the
higher rate now obtaining is profitable
in this state.
Representatives Bowlcs and Strom
OF the Greenwood delegation and Rep
rcscntativc Goggans OF the Laurens
delegation, have jointly introduced a
bill in the Lower House providing that
the supervisors Of the two counties
h,il l,,,;.l
at Puckctts ferry about midway be-
tween Watts bride and Rasors bridge.
The distance between the two old
bridges being in the ncighborhood of
elSht miles. We do not know how
badly the people in the vicinity Of the
proposed new bridge feel the need or
necessity for il, but our representa-
tives should consider the matter thor
ouShly before committing the two
counties TO the rather large eXpendi-
turc. Are we to be committed to the
precedent Of building bridge across
Saluda every four miles? Are the num-
Der OF people profting by the new
bridge sufficient to warrant the OK
penditure? Gould the same amount of
money be used to the advantage of
more people elsewhere? We do not
Know what facts and figures have been
put before the delegation to justify the
building Of the bride, but an cxamina-
tlon or a map showing the houses in
the area leads us to the opinion that
the comparatively small population af-
fectcd does not Justify the expenditure
at this time especially in view Of the
Widespread demand for funds for road
and bridge work in every section of
the county. We can sympathizo with
the people in that vicinity who have
a desire for more convenient cross
ing, put they may easily find consola-
ton III the thought that, Isolated some
what as they are, their lot is hardly
worse than many others who would
like something likewise provided for
Them.
