IMPORTANT RESOLUTIONS,
Tobacco Men Urged to Help the Grand
Red Cross Society.

Richmond, Va, July 20:-At the
annual meeting of the Tobacco As
sociation of the United States, held
at Old Point the latter part of June,
the following resolution was passed:
Whereas The needs of the Red
Cross society may not be fully un-
derstood and appreciated to the ex-
tent that they should be, and,
Whereas the members of the to-
bacco trade have peculiar facilities
that put them in direct touch with
the farming interests, whose remote
ness may have prevented them from
having the needs of the society
brought TO their attention, There
fore, be it resolved, That the presi-
dent of the Tobacco Association of
the United States appoint, a COM
mittee who shall at once put into
operation suggestions and plans that
will bring the needs of the society
to the attention of the tobacco pro-
ducers especially, and that every
man present obligates himself that
he will make every effort to have
the plans proposed put into pratical
and efficient operation"
Mr. T NJ Darlington, president OF
the Tobacco Association, has writ
ten to local tobacco man on every
market in South Carolina, and will,
if he has not already done so, write
to all the markets in North Caralina
and Virginia in reference to the
resolution.
Please ascertain who has received
the letter from Mr. Carrigan on your
market, and cooperate with the
movement to the full extent of your
ability.
I understand the plan recon-
mended by Mr. Carrigan is that the
warehousemen and buyers on each
market bring the subject of the Red
Cross work to the attention OF each
farmer, and ask him to donate one
pile of tobacco out of his crop to the
Red Cross; the pile to be sold on
the warehouse floors, and the pro-
ceeds forwarded to the proper Red
Cross officials. No doubt, Mr. Car
rington's letter will specify to just
whom the money should be sent,
but this movement should be started
at once so as to acquaint the farm
ers with the idea. OF course, the
money will be accumulated by the
warehousemen, or others, and for
warded in sums at various times to
the Red Cross officials.
Your very truly,
E S CARLTON.

Tribute to Rev. w. P. Meadors.

In the death of Rev William Pas
cal Meadors, who suddenly passed
away at his home in Kingstree July
II, the Methodists of South Carolina
lost a conspicuous figure and the
State valuable citizen. MIR Mead.
ors was largely self-made man. He
grew up when educational advan.
tages were not what they arein these
times, so his education was confined,
so far as the school work was con.
cerned. to the common and high
schools of his community. He was
borE in Laurens county May Is,
1854.
Mr. Meadors filled the various
classes of appointments in the Meth
odist conference with great accept
ability. His most conspicuous serv-
! ice, however, was rendered as pre-.
siding elder, in which position he
served for nearly 20 years. He was
noted for his quiet, ,unassuming man.
ners. his candor and sincerity and f.
deity to duty. He was man of
strong convictions and was ever
ready to maintain them even at the
expense of personal popularity. Like
all men of that type, he was often
misunderstood. He did not claim in
faUability, and even his best friends
knew he had his faults, but his long
and clean record of faithful service
is heritage worthy of the great
church to which he belonged. Tile

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL NEEDS FUNDS
Methodist Institution Near Conway Dc
ing Good Work.

Methodist Institution Near Conway Do
ing Good Work.
The Horny Industrial school, near
Conway. has had a remarkable years
progress under the management of
the Methodist Episcopal church,
South. The patronage was far above
all expectations, and the prospects
are now that it will be taxed even
beyond the present capacity another
year.
This is a unique school, planned to
give any boy or girl the chance for
an education who is willing to work
for it. 1t is situated in the country
and offers attractions for the worthy
youth that are seldom found else
where. A farm is run in connection
with the school and practical agri-
culture is taught. A very fine busi-
ness course was added last year and
will be continued. Some of the boys
made SIS a month working to reduce
expenses without losing any time
from school. Some received scholar
ship aid.
The president, the Rev S c Morris.
is making a vigorous campaign this
summer for $4,000, which the last
annual South Carolina conference
authorized for the erection of an ad-
ministration building. The cash and
pledges amounted to upwards of the
first thousand dollars of this at the
end of the first two weeks of this
canvass and during the next month
it is hoped that there will be enough
funds to take up the work. The foun-
dations for the building have been
laid for some time, but work was
discontinued for lack of funds.
With adequate buildings ard equip
ment, there is no estimating the
great field this institution will occu-
py in the educational and uplift work
of the Pee Dee section. Horny coun-
ty alone has 25, 900 white people and
neighboring counties as many more,
a large proportion of whom have not
even graded school advantages. The
Horny Industrial school is finding
many of these and will find more
and say to them, We will give youa
chance to make of yourself the man
or the woman of whichyou dreamed"
The management of the school
feels confident that when the urgen-
cy of this need is realized by the
people, without regard to church af-
filiations, that they will rise up and
meet it. 1t is a combination of home
missions and education that will
WELD large returns in character
building for the church and the State.

POTATOES FROM
YOUR GARDEN
Mash Them in This Way and
You Will Get the Greatest
Satisfaction

Cook the potatoes in boiling salted
water. When thoroly tender, pour off
the water at once and mash with a
potato masher until there are no Jumps.
Beat very hard with a perforated
wooden spoon, if you have one, The
harder the potatoes are beaten the
fuftier they will be. While beating,
add little hot milk, just enough to
make firm texture, also little but
ter and salt. Turn into hot yege-
table dish and serve. If it is not pos
sible to serve the potatoes Immediately
after beating, place the dish in a pan
of hot water, but do not put a lid on
the potatoes. Do not smooth them off
on the top, but pile them in the dish,
A lid placed on the top of the potatoes
at this time tends to send the steam
back and makes them soggy instead
of dry and light.-Geneva Conway, Di-
vision of Extension, University of Ten

INCREASE YIELD
OF WHEAT CROP
No Better Time Can Be Found
To Think cf These Things
Than Now

Experience has shown that from
three to five bushels per acre increased
yield in wheat can be made by plow-
ing the land deep and early so as to
give the soil time to settle. The wheat
plant likes firm seed bed just below
the surface If the land is quite loose
the roller should be used. The in
crease in yield from the firm packing
of a roller will often pay for the roller
in one crop.
Another chance to increase the yield
per acre is by using sound, plump seed
that will grow. Fan and screen out all
small and shriveled grains.
The average yield of wheat can be
increased five bushels If one will give
attention to these details. 1t requires
nearly whole year to grow crop of
wheat Why not get the highest crop
possible by doing the right thing at
the right time. 1t does not cost any
more and the profit is so pleasing and
satisfactory Do your best this time
and note the differenee.-C E. Alfred,

EGGS WELL COOKED
MAKE INEXPENSIVE
BREAKFAST DISH
Reasons Given Why Fried Eggs Are OF
Less Value Than Poached Eggs.

If you like eggs, and wish to get
from them all possible food value when
you eat them, don't fry them. Poach
the egg, or cook it in the she'll.
Fat, when exposed to heat, such as
frying an egg, undergoes chemical
change, and is very hard to digest.
This indigestible fat encases the egg
which should be digested in the stom-
ach The fat is not attacked in the
stomach but passes into the intestines
for its digestion This is too late to
use the full amount of the egg for
body building.
Cook an egg in low temperature, the
same as you would cook meat, milk,
or cheese.
One may have a dish which is espe
cially good for breakfast, made as fol

Bring to boil u can of tomatoes,
seasoned. Place this in fiat bowl
that can be placed in the oven. In the
center of the tomatoes drop from three

until the whites coagulate. This gives
both an attractive and wholesome dish
and takes the place of fresh fruit in
the breakfast to be used in the winter
time when fresh fruit is scarce.

BETTER TYPE OF MULES
FROM BIGGER MARES
Present-Day Farm Conditions Demand
Mares of Draft Type With
Snappy Action.

The results that can be obtained by
the use of the purebred sire of strong
individuality is generally acknowl-
edged. Some men, for one reason or
another, do not use purebred sires, but
of these, few do not admit the desira'
bility of so doing.
in the rearing of horses in Tennes-
see the situation is different from that
surrounding other farm animals. The
American Standardized. the Thorough
bred and the American Saddler have
been perfected in this, and adjoining
states, and it is natural that these IA
vorites of our own hands should al
ways be given loyal support. 1t is not
that we think any the less of these,
that changes in our attitude towards
horse production are necessary.
Agricultural conditions have arisen
which create a demand for a type OF
mare that will perform heavy farm

high selling mules.
The largest so-called "hot-blooded"
mares are not numerous enough nor
can they be produced in sufficient num-
bers to meet the demand.
What, then is the easy solution to
this problem? The results obtained
thru using carefully-selected stations
of a draft breed on our own native
mares indicate beyond dispute that the
resulting mares when mated to good
Jacks bring the good mule today.
Such stations must not be of the
sluggish, overweight type, but must be
selected for that quality and action
that is so essential to our present
stage of development.-C. D. Lowe,

Big Yields Next Year Will Be

PLAN TO LIVE At HOME
Wartime Conditions Make II Obliga-
tory Upon Families, Especially
Farm Families, That Gardens Be as
Large as Practicable.

(By Charles A. Keffer, director, Di-
vision of Agricultural Extension,
University of Tennessee, Knoxville.) }
In the fall months IS the best time to
get the vegetable garden ready for
planting. Thruout Tennessee, in all
attitudes of 1,200 feet or less, planting
should begin in January, and from jan
uary to September the garden should
be a place of planting. And so the
time for planting is the late fall
months.
If there is only little manure, by
all means put it in the garden.
Crimson clover, lime, phosphate, and
a little potash can be used to main
tain the fertility of the fields, but we
expect muIh greater yields of garden
than of field crops. The quantity of
vegetables depends largely on rapid
growth There is nothing like manure
to make vegetables grow well.
We have had two gardens at the
Experiment Station. In one CONNER
cial fertilizers alone were used In the
other, nothing but barnyard manure
was applied to the soil The manured
vegetables grew more rapidly, pro-
duced better, were of better quality.
Especially was this true of the leaf
and root vegetables, but it was clearly
apparent in all.
Manure heavily and plow deep.
Then spread fine manure over the
plowing and disk it in, leaving the
land rough until ready to plant; then
make a perfect seed bed by repeated
use of the spike-tooth harrow and
planker.
In January, Irish Cobler, Quick
Lunch or Triumph potatoes should be
planted for first crop, and Alaska peas
should be put in. There is apt to be
too much wet weather in January for
plowing the garden. Do it earlier.
