News for the Farmer
w. w. LONG URGES THE
SOWING OF GRAIN

Clemson College, Nov. 9, 1917
To all Agents.
Dear Sir:-I have been scanning
your field reports for the last two
weeks with a great deal of interest,
especially for the purpose of get
ting such information from them as
you have given concerning the seed
ing of grains, especially wheat, in
your respective counties.
I have been greatly disappointed
in the information that / have OBJ
tanned. Up to this time, little grain,
and especially wheat, has been seed
ed. There is little time left If we
expect to obtain profitable crop
at next harvest time. Surely our
people have not forgotten the call
by our Government for the seeding
of an increased acreage in wheat to
the amount OIL lulICy-SSFSh PSiSiAS
over last year. Last years acreage
in the state was 225,000 acres. In
order to meet the demands of the
Government we should seed $780,
600 acres. This is absolutely nec-
essary if we are to do our part IN
furnishing the bread supply for
our armies and the armies of our
Allies.
We are asking our young men to
defend our honor and our liberty,
if need be by giving up their lives.
If they are willing to die for US,
surely our people should be willing
to live for them.
Your very truly,
W. W. Long, Director

is so terribly needed in Europe, ply
sicians say Americans eat entirely
too much anyway and that we would
all be great deal better off physi-e
cally if for a meat diet we substi-
tuted more vegetables and fruits.
Anyone can begin a good days
work on cantaloupe, fried tomatoes
and sweet pepper with milk gravy,
corn, baked potatoes, coffee and
corn mullins. Sometimes I get ex-S
ira hungry and sneak down to the
smokehouse and steal some country
ham for myself, but not often. I
try to stick to the perishable things,
so that I may do my small part to-
ward releasing for the use of the
allies, everything that can be ship
ped. Of course, I know one person
can't do much, but she at least can
try to do her share and face a clear
conscience.
This fall I put in seeds of every
thing l could think of-mustard,
radishes, lettuce, spinach, late tur-
nips, onion sets,-just as fast as the
ground could be cleared of summer
vegetables. And you ought to see
the patches of Abruzzi rye. The
Jersey cow will be cheerful beast
this winter. She has her own ideas
ia we'll balanced food ration and
green stuff during the winter is a
part of it, and she will not give
good rich milk unless she has it.
I've tried, and invariably regretted
the experiment. So two of my three
gardens go into rye pastures where
she is staked so she won't just nat
urally kill herself eating. Her
tramp1ing doesn't seem to hurt the
ground particularly, certainly not
as much as doing without cream
would hurt me, while the rye is off
in plenty of time in the spring to-
plant the summer garden.
This year I planted lot of fra
grant-Ieaved plants to be tucked in
wherever there was a vacant spot;
sweet basil, sweet marjoram, mint,
lavender, tansy; I love them all.
When I look at them, so often
think of little verse about herbs.
by Lizette Woodwork Reese:-
"Gone out of all the lands,
And yet safe in Gods hands.
For shall the dull herbs live again
And not the sons of men,"

MR.. LONG URGES MORE WHEAT
Saws Uncle Sam Asks State to In
crease Acreage Thirty-Seven Per
Cent More Than Last Year

Clemson College, S. c., Now
That the issue involved in the pres
ent war will be decided in favor of
the countries furnishing the last
crust rather than the last soldier is
the opinion of w. w. Long, director
of agricultural extension of Glenn
son College. "Thus," Mr.. Long says,
"the responsibility placed upon the
shoulders of the rural people of the
United States is greater than that
ever borne by any class of the
worlds citizenship since the begin
ming of the Christian Era.
"South Carolina is expected to do
its part in furnishing bread, fats
and meat to our soldiers and those
who are fighting our battles. We
should be thankful that we live in
a state the natural advantages of
which make it an easy task for US
to comply with the sacred demands
of our government.
"The government expects South
Carolina this year to increase her
acreage in wheat at least thirty
seven per cent over last years
acreage, or a total of 308,250 acres
Surely this demand will be cheer
fully complied with when we rem
ember that in the fall of 1914 we
seeded $1,000 acres in wheat when
the necessity for this large acreage
was not so urgent as it is today"

EAT PLENTY OF POTATOES.

"Now that the country's bumper
potato crop is flowing into markets
in an ever-increasing stream the
wise housewife will take advantage
of this cheap source of starchy food
and will give the tubers very i'm
portant place on the dinner table,"
say home-economics specialists of
the United States Department Of
Agriculture.
1t is well known that potatoes are
a nutritious and healthful food, of
which one may eat freely without
i'll effects. As a matter of fact, say
the department specialists, there is
something more which can be said
for the potato, for the liberal con-
sumption of them helps to supply
the body with alkaline salts which
it needs for normal health. Eat
more potatoes, for breakfast, lunch
dinner or supper, therefore, while
they are abundant, say the special
lists, to the advantage of both your
health and your pocketbook.-The

liberties and the liberties of the
peoples who are suffering with us
shall be rendered safe against all
surprises and all violence"
No war has ever been quite like
this war Whatever it's immedi-
ate or ultimate causes, whatever
ambitions or resentments may
have been involved in it's begin
nings, it has become a union of
the great nations of the world
against peril that threatens all
they hold most dear. No one can
fail to be moved by the horrors of
it; to wish for an ending of them.
Never, as the prince said, has
there been a conflict more abound
ing in sorrow. But the definition
of the purpose of tradgedy, to
purge the soul by pity and terror,
suggests that after all our via dol
orosa may lead to the City of
Peace. Unless this were so, un-
less the world is to be made bet
ter, then the present suffering
would be of truth in vain. If
we are to have any faith in the
future we must believe that "the
complaining millions Of men dark
EN- in labour and pain" only un-
til this agony be overpast. That
is what our Italian visitor bids us
believe. He could have said no
more appropriate word. It has
been hard for us, so long apart
from the conflict. to realize all that
is required of us. Italy, who has
her devotion with blood and
tears, shows us too how to endure
to the last.-Philadelphia Public
Ledger.

LONDON, May 31-Upon an
almost forgotten theater Of war
signs fared up today Of a new
menace to Austria-Hungary at a
moment, when it needs all avail
able man-power on the Isonzo.
The Rome war office issued a
brief bulletin announcing the cap
ture Of four villages in Albania,
northwest Of the Adriatic seaport
Of Avlona, No details were given,
but the advance is taken as the
beginning Of a new offensive
against the dual monarchy whose
troops occupy most Of Albania
The Italian forces there virtually
form the extreme left wing Of
General Sarrall's Balkan army.
On the Isonzo front there were
no actions on a major scale in the
last "a hours. The Italians con-
solidated their gains, while the
Austro-Hungarians made counter
attacks which, according to Rome,
were beaten off.
While London dispatches herald
the sudden Italian advance in AL
bania as the fOrerunner Of a new
drive in that theater, the news
from Rome gives rise to another
theory which from a military
standpoint is more plausible-thc
capture of the four villages may
mean a local Italian offensive to
screen the withdrawal of the en-
tente SalOnika army by way Of
Albania. British man-power in
the west has been seriously depict
ed by the Arras drive, as is shown
by the huge total Of British castl-
alties in May. The communication

VIA DOLOROSA

History is making 50 fast these
days that it is more than usually
difficult to get the true perSpec-
tive of events. Looking back to
the Revolution and to the diverse
parts which England and France
played in it, there as a peculiar
significance in the tributes paid
by Mr.. BalfOur and M. Viviani at
Mount Vernon to the memory of
Washington. No more impressive
illustration Of the common pur-
pose which now moves the Allies
could have been imagined. Yet
the visit of the Italian commission
ers to lay a wreath upon the tomb
of our national hero is in one
sense a filter symbol of the course
which destiny has marked out for
us. With Italy, too, we must
hereafter have the closest ties.
Nothing could have been more fe-
hcitOus than the address of the
Principe di Udine on this occasion
1t had a sustained note of noble
feeling and high resolve. That is
indeed a via dolorosa upon which
the champions of humanity, have
entered. Great sacrifices have
been made; greater sacrifices may
be to come. In what Washington
did and dared we find our best
example. we come to this tomb,
said the prince, to seek purifi-
cation, " to dedicate ourselves to
a holy cause. 1t is a cause in
which Italy has already won great
triumphs. Her representative tells
