The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1918-04-10

On Friday last we began a series
OF Liberty Loan advertisements in the
Interest OF the Third Liberty Loan
Campaign In Sumter county. These
advertisements were prepared under
the sanction of the National Liberty
Loan Committee and their purpose Is
to bring home to each individual citi-
zen his personal responsibility and his
duty to the government when the call
IN made for money to carry on the
war In defense Of our country. our
institutions. our homes and our lives.
The government made no appropria-
ton for publicity and the necessary
advertising to carry this message 10
home of all the people of America.
and to each local committee was left
the task of finding the means to prop
erly advertise the Third Liberty Loau.
To meet the emergency the Sumter
county committee adopted the plan Ct
asking the bushes men of this city TO
advertise the Liberty Loan Campaign.
The Daily Item purchased the series
of advertisements authorized by the
National Committee and the plan was
placed before the merchants and 9TH
or business men. The response was
immediate and every one of the ad-
vertisements was ordered to be printed 4
during the campaign. One or more Of
them Will appear each day during the
campaign at the expense of the mer-
chants and banks. vino are making
this contribution to the cause. The
Daily Item as its contribution gave a
full page advertisement and has plac-
cd It's news columns unreservedly at
the service OF Chairman McLaurin
and the committee. II some readers
feel that too much space Is given TO
the Liberty Loan campaign during .he
next few weeks. they are asked to re-
member that at this time the most
important thing In the world IS the
success OF the Third Liberty Loan,
for without II the war cannot be car
ried on, and u Is important to show
the enemies Of humanity that the peo :.
pie OF America are heart and soul he
hind the government The Third
Liberty Loan must not only be raised
to the last dollar asked for. but should
DO over-subscribed two or three fold
When the mass meeting Saturday
subscribed more than 1850. 900 to the
Third Liberty Loan there was great
enthusiasm and the feeling was wide
spread that II was q great achieve
ment. IL was a great achievement.
and our people had reason for self
congratulation. but the first place in
the roll OF honor In this Liberty Loan
Campaign to date belongs to the con-
gregation of Wayman Chapel, colored.
OF sStateburg township. On Sunday
afternoon this congregation held a pa
triotic rally for the purpose OF obtain
Ing subscriptions to the Third Liberty
Loan and s2.150 worth OF bonds were
taken before the meeting adjourned.
The leaders OF this congregation
pledged themselves to double this sub
scription before the campaign closes.
This is an object lesson to the\people
OF all the rural communities of the
county-if all others. white and color
ed. do as well Sumter county will far
exceed the allotted quota.

Medium-Sized Plant of Yucca, Locally
Known as Soapweed.

By the addition of a little cottonseed
meal with ground yucca a fairly well
balanced ration is made. BY using this
feed without waste in dry seasons only
a fair crop will always be available.
If it is used properly and due regard
given to conserving the present sup
ply, thousands of cattle may be saved
during the drought season to add to
the nations meat supply.
There are a score or more species of
yucca. Sotol has been utilized as
stock feed for some years, but only re-
Gently have soapweed and bear grasr.
two other forms which grow abundant
ly, been utilized in this way. Both Of
the latter are we'll adapted for feed,
but because the food material Is found
mainly in the tree-like trunk it is nec-
essary that they be ground or chop
ped finely before stock can eat them.
The machines used for cutting
yucca have heavy cylinders carrying
teeth or knives that rotate before a
chopping block to which the plants are
fed. One of the larger machines run
by II or 14-horse power engine with
crew of 10 men will chop or shred
about two tons of soapweed an hour.
If fed alone this feed may be expect
ed to keep stock from starving; If fed
with concentrates properly balanced
ration may be worked out. The Gus
tomary practice among users of this
feed is to give young stock six to
twelve pounds per day with one-half
to three-fourths of a pound Of cotton
seed cake or meal. Mature stock are
given 20 to 40 pounds and one to two
pounds of the cottonseed concentrate
daily. Fifteen to twenty-five pounds
per day fed alone will save stock from
dying. Practically the only cost in
using this feed IS in its preparation,
and it is estimated that when 20
pounds is fed per day this cost
amounts to only so cents per month.
Yucca should be regarded as an
emergency feed only, the specialists
say. 1t makes very slow growth and
only two species-soapweed and bear
grass-may be expected to renew
themselves if cut off. The bear grass
of the New Mexico-Texas plains re-
giOn will produce q new crop in three
or four years, while soapweed requires
from ten to fifteen years.

with tie brush. All leaf sheaths, or
boots, should be removed as the heads
are cut. The knife should be held
firmly with the cutting edge pointing
at an angle from the body. If the
head is then grasped with the other
hand and the stalk pulled against the
knife, instead Of forcing the knife
against the stalk, the stem of the
brush will usually slip out of the boot
as it is being cut from the stalk. AS
the heads are cut they are laid in hand
fuls on the table. The brush should
be hauled to the curing shed and
threshed the same day it is harvested,
or at any rate not later than the fol-
lowing day.

SHE GOT WHAT SHE WANTED
Young Irish Girl Resourcefu When
Unaccustomed Word Had Tempo
rariIy Slipped Her Memory.

In his amusing book, "Old Irish
Life" Mr.. L. NJ. Caldwell tells a story
of a young peasant woman-Sally
Sweeny-whO used to walk into Gal
way twice a week to do shopping for
his family.
She could neither read nor write, yet
she never made a mistake with any of
the messages that were intrusted to
her.
Once, however, her memory did fail
her. One Of the ladies Of the family
had commissioned her to bring back
yard of satin, and the unaccustomed
word had slipped out of Sally's recol-
lection.
She did not allow herself to be beat
en-, however, and made an effort to re-
call the word; so she went into the
principal shop in Galway still thinking
hard.
what is't that We call the divil?" she
asked, "whin it's not divil that We say
to him?"

prepared by the United States Depart

The desert plant locally known as
soapweed, the feeding value of which
has previously been overlooked, can be
utilized as an emergency drought-time
feed for Southwestern stOckmen.
Its scientific name is yucca. While
this plant is not high in nutritive value
nor suitable for feed until it has been
properly ground, the specialists of the
United States department of agricul-
ture have found that in seasons of
drought, when range grasses and other
sources of feed fail, it can be used to
save cattle and sheep from starving.
