early as possible, but the right of
way is being given to destroyers and
small craft.
"Since the day war was declared
the Navy has ~patrolled our own
coasts. For coast defenses scores Of
vessels have been secured-yacht,
fishing vessels, fast motor boats, and
other minor craft, and others are be-
ing added to this force as rapidly as
possible.
"The Navy has sent to France a
corps of aviators, who arrived on
June 8, the first contingent of the
regular armed forces of the United
States to land on French soil. The
Aeronautic Corps has been greatly
enlarged, aviation bases established
along the coast, and officers and men

STATE COUNCIL OF DEFENSE.

Columbia, S. c., Sept. 10.-An
acre of wheat per each one-horse
crop was the policy indorsed by the
State council of defense at the sym
ter conference. -,
By resolution the farmers OF the
State were urged to grow all OF the
live stock possible.
Davil R. Coker, chairman OF tne
council of defense, discussing the
necessity for more hogs said: -!
have before me quotations Of the
baltimore market Of September 3,
quoting medium and heavy hogs (2oo
to 800 pounds in weight) at 1850
to 1870, live weight. If the farm
ers are going to raise hogs for the
market they should form community
climbs and ship them in carload lots.
They should ship nothing except
hogs weighing175 pounds and over
as these always bring better prices.
I shall be glad to give complete IN
formation to any farmers clubs wish
ing to ship hogs"
The following resolution was
adopted by the State council OF de-
tense: :.
, "Whereas the secretary Of agrl-
culture has advised that the wheat
acreage of South Carolina be In
creased 81 percent. in order that the
farmers of our State may do their
part in averting a world wheat short
age. therefore upon motion of the
committee on production and con-
~seryation of food-stufs, be it re-
solved:
"That the farmers of South Caro-
lima be and hereby are advised to
plant one acre of wheat per each
one-horse crop and that they be >urg-
ed to plant good lands and fertlllze
as literally as circumstances Will
permit.
Be it resolved, further, that, IN
order to in some measure alleviate
the actua, famine of meats and fats,
the South Carolina farmers be urged
to raise all the live stock possible
but especially to increase their pro-
duction of hogs.
"Be it resolved, further that. we
deprecate the killing of young and
immature live stock, and that we
urge that this practice be done away
with wherever possible.
"Be it further resolved, that, the
South Carolina Live Stock associa-
ton be requested to take up at its
approaching meeting the matter Of
the shipment out of the State Of
large numbers of young calves ant
to make a recommendation to thf
State council of defense as to how
this practice can be stopped.
"Resolved, further, that the com
missary departments of the various
camps be requested to purchase foo
products direct from the farmer
wherever possible"
