SUMMARY OF SUGGESTIONS CO.
ING OUT FROM THE OFFICE
OF EXTENSION

Don't dig your sweet potatoes for
storage until they are fully matured.
Let them mature in the ground and
you will have larger potatoes, and
therefore more food per acre. The
mature potato will keep better.
Plan now for the safe storage of
sweet potatoes in some modern
storage house, where they can be
kept for winter and spring market,
without loss from rotting. Sweet
potato storage houses have been
erected in many sections. Wher-
ever the crop has been greatly in
creased, the attention of farmers
and business men should be devoted
TO this important problem. Pro-
vision should be made for gradual
marketing OF the crop.
Let everyone plant Fall Food

Acre will provide the family with
ample food and save drawing on the
general food supply of the country
during the months between now and
January. Put in string beans, peas,
beets. carrots, onions, kale. cabbage,
spinach, and collards in rows. II
seed can be bought at reasonable
prices plant Irish potatoes for fall
and winter use. About half OF the
acre can be planted in this way,
and the other half in turnips and
rape. either in rows or sown broad
cast. See your county agent or
write State Agricultural College or

any further directions. Crops OBJ

KEEP GARDENS GROWING
Fight Weeds, Cultivate, Water, and
rertilize

This is the time of the season
when the gardener is likely to al
low the weeds to get start in the
garden. Right now the plants need
every drop of water, and weeds
should not be allowed to rob them.
Weeds grow much faster than cul-
tivated crops, and il not destroyed
will rob the plants of the moisture
they need for forming fruit. Those
fortunate enough to possess a pri-
waite water works, or who have city
water. should make use Of the hose
to supply the crops in the home gar
den with needed water. The water
ing should be done in the evening
and by the time the sun rises the
next morning the water will have
soaked in. The soil should be cul-
tiyated about q hours after each
watering in order to prevent the
formation Of a crust on the surface.
Nothing retains soil moisture like
a finely broken surface. Never al
low soil in the garden to become
baked. as moisture is being lost.
II is an excellent plan to water
elephants, pepper, cabbage, cucum-
bers. melons, celery, and other
crops needing highly fertilized soil,
with manure water. Have a barrel
covered with fly screen in which to
prepare and store the manure water.
Give each plant an occasional water
ing with this and the added growth
will renaY VOL.

How the First Telegram Ever Sent
Was Received.

We have been told that the firse tele-
gram TO be sent over the wires was
"What hath God wrought" Now It
comes to light that this was not the
FIRST message. The very FIRST one was
sent by one Of the committee which was
debating upon the proposal to string
telegraph wire from Baltimore to
Washington. Mr. Morse. who wanted
to end the discussion, strung a wire
from the committee room TO the top
Of the capitol. according to Popular
Science Monthly. One OF the commit
tee. who was an opponent to President
Tyler. wrote the words. Tyler de-

eeived by the man at the other end sx-
actly the way II was written.

Why There 10 the Ammonia Tsint In
Artificial Ice.

Artificial Ice nearly always has the
smell OF ammonia. and yet II does not
come In contact with the ammonia H.
self. This fact Is explained by reason
that water absorbs the ammonia yapor.
Artificial Ice Is made by immersing
vessel OF distilled water In brine. which
Is cooled by pipes containing eyaporat-
Ing ammonia. Not mfrequently am

pipes. and II Is this yapor In the air

APPEAL TO THE U. D. C. CHAP.
TIERS.

Dear Daughters:
l intended sending you a message
through the March edition of "Our
Heritage" but illness in my family
prevented; so l am making a desper-
ate effort to get this ready for the
April edition. In this age of rush, you
know how difficult it is to attend to
the many things that claim our time
and attention. / regret that l could
not reach you earlier for our COM
mittee was anxious that all chapters
in the Division be fully informed of
the distressing condition prevailing
among your homeless and destitute
Confederate people, in order that they
might send their delegates to the con-
vention which meets in Greenwood
next month instructed to make gen.
erous pledges to the Maintenance
Fund" The winter just passed was the
most severe since this committee was
created, six years ago, and in conse-
quence, the demands upon it have been
many and urgent, and unfortunately,
far beyond it's power to meet. Twice
the treasury has been exhausted, since
our last convention, and the situation
was indeed d~eplorable.
Now our committee appeals to the
president of each chapter, to bring
this important question before her
chapter and to use every influence to
secure a pledge from it, commensurate
with its ability, to aid in this worthy
cause.
Again, we say to you, that educa-
ton and monuments have their place
in the plan Of our civilization, but GER
our first care and duty is to
those of Gods unfortunate people,
who suffer in the flesh,especially,if they
be of our own household, as are these
sick and homeless Confederate men
and women, a remnant of those brave
souls, who, with such fortitude upheld
the cause Of our dear Southland.
II you only knew with what conf
dence these helpless ones turn to the
Daughters" in their hour of need,
you would buckle on your armor and
prepare to be worthy Of their faith

THE CONTROL OF OIL.
n "a ma n

There are oil fields and oil fields, but the two
major oil fields of the western hemisphere are in
California and in the Tampico district Of Mexico.
The oil fields in Mexico will be Of great benefit
to America if the Mexican government should be
favorable to the United States.
Oil burning battleships are supereeding coal
burners. Soon oil burning merchant ships will
eliminate coal from the seas. At such a time the
power of oil-producing nations on the worlds
trade and its navies will be similar to that exerted
by coal-producing nations today.
With virtually all battleships burning oil-as
they will assuredly do in a day soon to come.-it
will be imperative that the chief oil producing
point on the eastern coast of the western hemis-
phere be in hands friendly to the United States.
Otherwise untold mischief might accrue.
At present these vast fields are in unfriendly
hands; and as long as that is the case it would be
better if the navy "stuck to coal" For 1t Is as
that the avenues to fuel supply be un-
hindered as it is important that the gateways to
the ammunition supplies be npbjndered.

AGRICULTURAL PREPAREDNESS.
The appeal of Secretary of Agriculture Hous-
ton to- the nations farmers for intensive farming
this year will be answered by the best skill and
efforts at command of Americas yoemanry.
That America must not be handicapped in an
international crisis by lack Of food Is apparent to
everyone. Thissyear, of all years, is the year to
big crops.
The Secretary has asked for the utilization Of
all possible land. Nothing should be permitted to
idle this year. Not only this, but special
safe guards are to be made against defective
seeds, and agricultural parasites, something that
numbers Of our farmers in the past have not
thoroughly understood.
The nations needs are being put squarely up

portant as the military and naval establishments,

Shaved With Giass.

Shaving was practiced in the new world before it was discovered by Europeans, and the Mexican barbers shaved their customers with flakes of volcanic glass, each piece as it lost its edge being flung away and a new one applied. A curious instance of political significance in the mode of shaving may be remembered by some people. 1t was after the downfall of Napoleon HI, when the French army ceased to be imperial and became re- publican, that q general order was is- sued that all military chins were to be shaved, and forthwith the familiar characteristic 'imperial"' disappeared from 5OO,0o0 cfins.

New York, June 30.-The cotton market was very quiet early today. The opening was steady at an ad- vance of to 12 points on drouth com plaints from the southwest and pros poets for continued clear weather in that section. This bulge met realiz- ing for over the week end, with Octob- CT selling off from 26.4Sc to 26.27c right after the call and with the gen. eral list working about ten to fifteen points net lower. Offerings were not heavy, however, and the decline was checked by covering on low private condition figures with later fluctua- tions irregular. One of the local au- thorities issued a report making the condition TOP and the decrease in acreage 2.3, while New Orleans firm placed the condition at 68.0 against 69.3 last month.

Chicago, June O.-Announcement of first arrivals of new wheat this season at the Atlantic seaboard ready for shipment to Europe tended today to ease prices here. Business however amounted to scarcely enough to es- tablish quotations. The opening which
 ranged from 1 cent to l 3-8c lower with July at $2.00 and September $1.8O Is, was followed by a slight rally. 1 Some evening up of trade later caused more than full recovery. The close was firm 1-2 to 1 cent higher $2.O2 July, and $1.82 September. Favorable weather and prospects of it's continuance led to downturns in the value of new crop delivereies of corn. The July option, though, as a result of scarcity of old corn, prov ed firm. After opening 1 cent off to 1-4c up, the market weakened lit tie further for September and De- cember but hadened for July.
