eminent at present through the Petrol
Control Committee regulates the con-
sumption of petrol for civilian pur-

regard to the importation of lubricat-

still conducted on competitive lines
The oil trade is concentrated in the
hands of half a dozen great companies.
luring 1915 the total Importation OF
petroleum and its many by-products
into tho country amounted to about a
million and a half tons, exclusive OF
lubricating oils. OF this quantity
kerosene and petrol accounted between
them for nearly 100000 tons, while
the importation of gas oil came to 1885,
600 tons.
The "Berliner Tageblatt,' according
TO English adviccs, recently published
a iubilant note on the applications
cspecially from enemy countries, land
particularly from England" for the
registration in Germany of patents and
designs. According to the statistics OF
the German Imperial Patent Office the
following applications have been reg
istcred in Berlin:
From Great Britain-353 patents in
1915 and 2s0 in 1916; II designs in 1915
and 70 in 1916.
From Francc-s1 patents in 1915 and
40 paterts in 1916; designs in 1915
and in 1916.
From Italy-1O2 patents in 1915 and
40 in 1916; IA designs in 1915 and in
1916.
From Belgium SO patents in 1916
and 80 in 1916; IA designs in 1915 and
80 in 1916.
From Russia Q patents in 1915 and
10 in 1915; designs in 1915 and q in
1916.
The "Tageblatt" comments on these
figures as follows:
"The enemy press is constantly dis
cussing the economic collapse of Ger
many and her exclusion from the fut'
ure world market. In face of these
utterances one can refer to the patent
statistics; they prove the confidence
which is placed in the solidity of the
economic conditions and institutions oil
the German Empire precisely by the
people who know-the trading circles
in foreign countries"

In the weekly bond table most Of
the New York City and state bonds
closed with substantial net losses,
running in some cases l to IA
points. United States government
a per cent coupon bonds, which
touched the lowest level in twenty
five years a week ago, rallied IL
points, to 1885, on small dealings.
In the foreign government list the
of the advancing move
n.ent of the preceding week slack
ened perceptibly, and changes were
for the most part fractional on the
downward side. Among the railroad
bonds losses of ! to 2 points were
quite common. Total dealings fell

BEGIN POULTRY LICE FIGHT:
Effective Powder Can Be Made at.
Home by Using CresoI, carbolic
Acid and Gasoline.

A very good lice powder for use on
poultry may be made at home from in
gradients that, when bought separate
ly, will cost little as compared with
the expense of commercial lice pow
der made Of the same or similar mate
rails. One Of the best Of these home
made powders is prepared by mixing:
one pint Of cresol, or the same quantity
of strong, crude carbolic acid, with
three pints Of gasoline. To this Is
added, while stirring, just enough plas-
ter Of paris to take up the liquid. It
will take about ten pounds Of plaster
for the amounts Of cresol and gasoline
given. Larger or small amounts may
be prepared by increasing or decreas-
ing the three ingredients proportion
ately. After making this powder it
should be kept in well-covered recep-
tacle to keep it from losing strength.
The best way to apply the powder Is
to put it into a sitting box made by
punching numerous small holes into q
tin can, and, holding the bird. by the
feet, head downward, sift the powder
well into the fluff.

A Faithful Army.

May the Lord bless the faithful rural
mail carriers! They brighten many a

rying to its very threshold every morn
ing something new and fresh to read.
The rain falls and the mud deepens but
this vast army of humanity-blessers
never fail or falter. Bekind and cour-
teous and thoughtful of your mail car
rier. Had it occurred to you that hot
drink or some other Creature COM
fort handed out to him with smile,
about the noon hour, would cheer his
spirits and quicken his circulation these
chilling days? Furthermore, such a
thoughtful act would not go unreward-
ed, being as bread cast upon the water.
| The men engaged in "border duty
are not the only ones who are serv-
ing their country and humanity. The
45, 900 rural mail carriers who trave
daily considerably more than million
miles are likewise rendering service
of estimable value.
Let YOUR carrier know that you
appreciate his faithfulness. Scores will
rush in to tell him of alleged shortcom-
ings, so you hand him rose while
others prick him with the thorn.

Not All Actual Gains.

The "gains" daily credited to the
Germans in the papers remind US OF
what we once heard country mer'
chant say of the alleged continued rise
in the price of tobacco. He stated that
for years it has been the practice
among tobacco statesmen to press theil
claims for an order upon the grouno
that a tremendous rise in price would
soon become effective. Each tobacco
salesman who came along, month after
month and year after, would use the
rise-in-price argument to get an order.
According to the aforesaid merchant,
had all of the predicted or threatened
rises been placed on the price of to-
bacco, the weed would now be selling
for $1,000 the pound.
So it is with the Germans. If all Of
the gains credited to them in head
lines were actual accessions of ter.
ritory, they would now possess both
the eastern and western hemispheres,

command a high price next fall. ..
Everybody hopes the United States
will be kept out Of the war, yet who
knows what six months or a year will
bring forth? BY the time the 1917 crop
of cotton is harvested conditions may
be worse than they were. in the fall of
1914. And instead of having cheaper
foodstuffs for man and beast they would
under such conditions be higher than at
present.
In planning for large acreage in
cotton bear in mind two things: First,
the price may be below the cost of pro-
duction, ari, second, bear in mind the
high price of everything the farmer
has to buy, much of which can be pro-
duced at home.
First of all, plan to live at home as
far as possible. The only independent
farmer is the farmeriwho can live from
what ne produces on his own premises.

lust Across the Savannah.

Study the official boil weevil map or
The Advertisers front page this week,
which is published through the courtesy
of The State. In spite of the facts
that have been repeatedly published
concerning the steady progress of the
boil weevll, there are yet scores OF
farmers who are skeptical about its
coming. Those who refuse to heed the
warning will in few short years real
ize what fools they have been. Far
who are prepared will not suffer IRE
parable loss through the ravages of the
weevil, but those who fail to diversity,
supplanting cotton with other crops
and engaging to larger extent in
stock raising, will be crippled, finan-
cially, to such an extent that an ad-
justment to new conditions will be
exceedingly difficult.

pare for the unwelcome, but inevlta-

MANURE AS A TOP DRESSING
IL Greatly Stimulates Growth Of Wheat
and Assists to Prevent
Winter Killing.
By M F. MILLER, Missouri College Of
Agriculture.)

By M. F. MILLER, Missouri College Of
AgTiculture.)
Every year sees a greater number ct
Missouri farmers using manure as a
top dressing on wheat. There Is con-
siderable evidence to show where
wheat Is grown in a rotation, manure
can very often be applied to better adj
vantage as to top dressing on this
crop than as an application before
corn. There are two principal advan-'
tages of this practice. The first one Is
that it greatly stimulates the growth
Of the wheat and helps to prevent win
ter killing with resulting increase in:
yield. The second one Is that since
clover and grass are usually sown with
the wheat and since manure aids very
greatly in securing stand Of these
crops when used as top dressing with
the wheat, this alone may be sufficient.
reason for its application. AS mat
ter of fact the top dressing Of wheat;
with manure almost insures stand Of
clover or grass on land which is at all
suited to these crops. The land may
be too sour or too wet to- grow clover.
Much land in Missouri is too sour. If
it is only slightly sour, the manure
greatly aids in getting clover stand.
If it is very sour, lime Is usually es-'
sential in addition.

jury Seeks Divine Guidance.

A Georgia petit jury that must de-
eide the fate of a dentist who, with
five other men, is charged with muir
der, has prayed repeatedly for Divine
guidance. Only few instances of this
kind are on record. Ones confidence
in jury is strengthened when, realiz,
ing the grave responsibility resting
upon them, that of deciding the fate
of human life, they seek guidance
from high and unerring power. 1t
would not only strengthen the con-
fdence of the people in the jury sys-
tenn but increase respect for the courts
of the land, as we'll, if greater num-
ber of men or juries sought Divine
guidance when human life was al
stake.

Were Most Too Strenuous.

Through attractive circulars, liquor
houses did not fail to remind every me-
gro in the country of his right under
the law to order a gallon of liquor
month. And the negroes only failed
about one out of ten to exercise this
right. The strenuosity with which the
LIQUOR houses worked the gallon-a-
month appeal was something like kill
ing the goose to get the golden egg.
They reaped a golden harvest, but 1t
was their last crop in South Carolina.
