Tho first of these wonderful engines
was built within 81 days after the
idea for its general plan of construc-
ton was conceived. After the lines
were laid down on paper there was
never any doubt about its being good
engine, for there was no feature in
it that had not been tried out in one
Of the best foreign engines. The only
novelty lay In the way in which these
parts, drawn from the worlds best
experience, were combined.
But there were questions as to just

CONSTITUTIONAL difficulties-could be
removed. Every new machine Is

More Food Crops Being Planted.


County Demonstration Agent p. W.

from Mr. W. W. Long in which MIR.
Long stresses the need of more food
crops this year. The letter was sent
TO all the demonstration agents in the
state. The federal government is talk

me conditions. as being reported
OF the food crops Of the world if not

y truc when we realize that the re-
serves will be exhausted at The end of

1t Is rcporicd that the English wheat

winter growing states in our country
has suffered much for the want Of
moisture. Early vegetables i'm the
southern states have been destroyed
by recent freezes. Coming nearer
home. the prospects for wheat and
oat crops in South Carolina arc the
most diScouraging in years. The sea

little gardening has been done in this
state.
The country is virtually in a state
of war and we have every reason to

sary to Impress upon all classes OF
our people the urgent need Of grow

You should take this matter M not
