Clemson College.-The sweet pota-
to can be grown successfully for home
consumption and local market in
every section of South Carolina, and
is crop that should receive more at
tention. The sweet potato, being a
non-perishable crop. makes most de-
sirable food crop for both man and
stock. Of the many standard vari-
cites, the Nancy Hall is probably one
of the best for table use.

from Southern Ruralist.
( While attending the Live Stock
Conference at Orangeburg, s. c., last
October, had little talk with w. w.
Long, Director of Cooperative Exten-
sion Work in that State, in reference
to the dairies he was organizing, and
his plan struck me as being so fair
and practical that / give it for the
benefit of other sections.
A stock company with a capital Of U
$4,000 to $4,000 is organized, the !
stock being taken by the business men
of the town and the farmers of the
surrounding country. Each stock
nolder has but one vote, irrespective
of the number of shares he may own.
After dividend of eight per cent has
been paid on the stock the balance Of
the profits are divided among those
furnishing the milk according to the
amount furnished, they having previ-
ously been paid the market price for
their milk.
The building having been erected
and the machinery installed under the
direction of the Extension Board, a
butter maker is selected by the Ex-
tension Board and put in charge Of
the creamery. All butter is stamped
with the State brand, and the piSduct
of all creameries is shipped to ona
firm, who pays one cent per poundk
more than the Elgin uotation-ElginA
fixing the market price for butter for
the United States. The price paid
Tor the milk is based upon the Elgin
quotation.
There are at present four creamer-
les in South Carolina operating on
this plan, their output being $4,000
to 10000 pounds of butter per month.
Under this plan the stockholders
ar" assured of an up-to-date plant
and efficient and economical manage
mcnt, avoiding the costly mistakes so
often made by beginners.
DR.. Long estimates that South Car.
ollna pays out $6,OGO,OOO per annum I
for butter shipped into that State.

CONFEDERATE RECORDS

The department OF Confederate rec
ords. which was turned over to the
Office of Adjutant- General Sale Thurs
day, has had an uncertain exist
ence since II was established In 1904.
and even now was turned over to
General Sale because no funds were
appropriated for It's continuance.
General Sale will now handle the rec
ords, ami take up the work where
1t was left off with the means at his
disposal.
The department OF Confederate
records was established in 1904, with
Major r. II. Hunter in charge. Four
years later Colonel Joseph b. Bid
good was made head OF the depart
ment by the legislature, and an ap.
preparation was made for the ex-
penses for two years. after which the
department would be put under the
control OF the adjutant-general. the
expenses to come out OF the military
fund. When the general assembly
met in 1915 ii only appropriated funds
sufficient to run the department one
year. and authorized General Sale to
take over the work.
The records of the department are
very valuable, and contain the per-
sonal history OF the Virginia troops
serving in the Civil war. The COM
piiation of these records has neces-
sarily been slow on account of the
difficulty in tracing the soldiers but
a great deal has been done. and II
has proven valuable to the state pen.

RAILROADS THREATEN
LONG LEGAL BATTLE
Charge Interstate Commerce
Commission Failed to Obey
Law in Decisions.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 29.-The rail-
roads first attack in what promises
To bc long legal battle over meth
DDS pursued 10y the interstate com
merce commission in determining the
physical valuation of railroad proper
ties thruout the United States was
made today in a hearing on the com
missions findings in the case of the
ATLANTA, Birmingham N Atlantic and
the Texas Midland railways.
Counsel devoted virtually the entire
day To first two of 4 points of con-
tention raised. Sweeping charges
were made that the commission failed
to obey the instructions of the law
in making valuations and failed to in
clude Il great many items which 1t
should have included. Whether track
age rights Of n railroad over connect
ing lines should be included and tf
so at what figure was one of the
points debated, counsel for the Texas
Midland declaring that II miles Of
the roads main line had been omitted
because the road did not own the
property outright, but only had leased
trackagc rights over this stretch
Counsel for the four railroad broth
erhoods announced that he wished To
present some general theories" but
was advised by Chairman Meyer that
discussion would be limited TO the
detailed technical points under con
sideration. The attorney said he
probably would have something to
say when the question of railroad
owned lands was reached.
The hearing probably will last a
week or more. II is planned to have
witnesses testify later in tho week.
