An indication of the rapidly increas-
ing Importance of Oriental trade is
evidenced by the opening of new Of
fees by the American Express Com
pany in Shanghai and Yokahoma in
the early fall Shanghai has grown as
producing and exporting center until
now more than AZ per cent of the to-
tai trade of China is transacted there
OF this trade the United States has
acquired the greatest amount This de-
valOpment has resulted in the estab-
lishment Of a large number OF Ameri-
can connections in Shanghai by the
leading manufacturers and exporters
of the United States, and to meet these
conditions banking and transportation
facilities are keeping pace with the
business needs. The commercial i'm
pOrtance of Japan can be best estim-
ated by comparison of her trade with
the United States in 1900 and in 1916.
In 1900, it amounted to 100000 and
in 1916, to $147,644,O00. This indi-
Gates clearly that the trend of Ameri-
can capital and merchandise is to-
ward the Orient Yokohama, as a re-
suit, has grown from a small fishing
village of 100 cottages to a city of
100000 people and is the foremost

ROUGHAGE FOR DAIRY FEEDS
Dalryman Cannot Hope for Success
Unless He Pays More Attention
to HOMEGROWN Crops.
clemson College Bulletin,

Clemson College Bulletin)
The past year has demonstrated
one thing to the satisfaction Of every
man in the state who Is engaged in
dairy farming, and that is that he can
not hope for success unless he pro-
duces at home all Of the roughage
needed and most of the grain feeds.
In every instance where farmers have
become discouraged with the business
the underlying cause has been the lack
Of sufficient homegrown feeds. To
meet this requirement the following
feed requirement for one cow has been
worked out by the extension division
for the information Of farmers during
the coming year.
One ton legume hay.
Four tons mangels or silage.
One ton sorghum.
One-half acre velvet beans and corn.
Qpe-half acre rye for winter pasture.
One acre permanent Bermuda pas
lure.
The above ration will furnish suffi-
cient feed for one COW for one year,
with the exception Of 200 pounds of
cottonseed meal or soy bean meal which
should be added to the grain mixture.
The One-half acre of velvet beans
should furnish at least two months Of
winter grazing, besides 700 pounds of
velvet beans in the pod and 700 pounds
Of corn and cob meal to be mixed with
the velvet bean meal and cottonseed
or soy bean meal for the grain mix
ture

'UNDERsEA TUNNEL
MAY BE REAL |zEO

LONDON, June 15.-One of the fond
est dreams of England's engineers for
centuries, a tunnel beneath the Eng
lish channel will probably be realized
after the war.
Sir Francis Fox has recently enabled
the publication of an outline of how
such tunnel, which, burrowing 1OC
feet beneath the sea-foor, could dis
gorge express and freight trains be-
tween England and France. and re-
move forever the menace of the sub
marine, can be constructed.
To drive a double tunnel through the
grey Cenomanian chalk, diverting it in
geniously at one point through the
gault, is today simple feat of engi-
.neering, Sir Francis declared. Revolv-
ing cutters, fixed in Greathead shields,
will eat through the earth like butter
and the debris can be constantly re
moved from the face by high-speed
endless belts, discharging directly into
wagons.
1.-THE Fox plan includes two tunnels.
each eighteen feet in diameter, Joined
at intervals of 200 yards by cross tun-
nels. A complete system of ventilation
is to be worked by electricity. Elec-
trio trains are to bring and take away
the Workmen. In case such a tunnel
should be seized by hostile force, a
water-lock, constructed to deal with
such an emergency, will enable ada
cent military authorities to flood i!
with water at an instant's notice
When the emergency is over the water
can be pumped out by electric power
The English entrance to the tunnel
would be commanded by the Dover
forts and by men-of-war in Dover har-
Dor.
