$40, ,OOO, ,OOO TO BE EXPENDED

I | The government made no mistake. per-
 haps, when at the beginning of the war 1 General Wood established his headauar- | ters at Charleston, because it was known l by the administration at Washington
 that vast governmental expenditures
 would be made at Charleston. Rear Admiral Helm, who is warm personal
 friend of General Wood, has recently said that the navy yard which was estab- 1 lished at Charleston twelve years ago is | the nearest of the large navy yards to l the Caribbean sea and the Panama canal. Furthermore, the yard possesses excep- tional facilities for assembling drilling and equipping large bodies of marines The harbor and it's tributaries contain anchorage grounds for great many ves- sells ranging from the little torpedo boats to the dreadnaughts. Furthermore, Ad- miral Helm asys that with the facilities already established and those that are under contemplation, Charleston is to become an important port for fuel. 1 While many industrial plants are being established at convenient points upon the Cooper river near Charleston, never | theless, these enterprises are being matched and may be overmatched by the work which the government is now un-
 dertaking at Charleston. Within few l days the government has taken over | nearly two thousand acres which front l the Cooper river and is about to expend l a large amount of money taere That place will become within year the cen | ter of very great war industries. When 1 it is completed it Is sure to be as im- | portant war station as any in the en- | tire country.
 Ultimately the governments expendi- ture may reach $4o,OOO,0OO The work which l the government is undertaking at or near 1 Charleston will involve the employment | ot about 12,000 men, almost all of whom will remain there permanently in this vocation, even after the war is ended. Twelve million dollars have already been authorized for a quartermasters supply depot, and an animal authorization depot capable of handling 10000 horses is now under construction there Work has been begun for grading and laying the rail- road tracks which will make transporta- ton convenient to the great plant. A GREAT HOSPITAL
 The government will probably establish speedily a base hospital with the ca pacity of at least 20O0 beds and this is to be erected very near the supply sta tion Had General Wood remained at Charleston he would have found plenty to occupy his time. But some of the industrial leaders of the country, several of the railroad authorities and the citi- zens as we'll as the city of Charleston are now occupied with propositions which when completed are sure to demonstrate to the country that no longer will it be possible to look upon Charleston as somewhat sluggish community. but in stead one of the greatest governmental and industrial as well as commercial cen- ters in the south.

When You Loan Money from Banks.

In an article in the February Farm
and Fireside well-known banker says
when you ask for loan from bank
there are three questions which must
arise in the mind of the banker. They
are: How much do you want? How
long do YOU want it? What are you
going to pay for it? Unless the rate OF
interest is fixed by law or custom he
cannot reduce his requests for informa-
ton to less than these three questions.
"The banker probably knows you Ell
tler by long association with you or by
reputation He knows your business,
your habits, your honesty, your posses
sons, your abilities-he knows all about
you there is to know, and if his informa-
ton leads him to believe that you will
pay when you say you will he will lend
you the money.
He will ask: What do you want it
for? How do you expect to be able to
repay? DO you think you need as much
az you say you do. If your answers i'm
press the banker favorably, he may next
ask himself whether he can afford to let
YOU have so much. He must always be
thinking not OF himself and you alone,
but of all the others in your communi
ty who may want to borrow and who
are entitled to the same accommodations
as you.

er's responsibilities increase, and, to Sc
cure himself against the additional risks,

greater, he may require you to turn over

SWEET-poTATO DISEASES
Controlled by Selection and Treatment
of Seed, Careful Preparation of Hot
bed. and Crop Rotation.

| Sweet potato diseases may be con
trolled, according TO the advice OF thu
Psychologists OF the United States de
partment of agriculture, by giving at
| tention TO the careful selection ant
treatment of the seed potatoes, to care
in the preparation of the hotbed, and te
crop rotation.
Disinfect Seed Potatoes.
Before the potatoes are bedded they
should be carefully picked over and any
showing rotted end, black-rot spots. or
wounds over the surface should be
thrown out After the seed potatoes
have been selected they should be disn-
fected for five to ten minutes in a solu-
ton of mercuric Chord, made by dis
solving one ounce of the crystals in eight
gallons of water. Ii mercurie Chord Is
not available, or for some reason it is
iectionable, the potatoes may be disin-
fected by immensng for five minutes in
formaldehyde solution tao per cent?
one pint to 240 pints of water. 1t is
preferable that this work be done on a
warm day, so as to prevent chilling the
potatoes as much as possible. The pota
toes should be put in the bed as soon as

slightly injured by either of these treat
ments, with slight reduction in germina-
ton. but the advantages to be gained
in disease prevention offset these slight
losses.
New Soil for the Hotbed.
A new hotbed should be made each
year The old soil should be carted
away and new soil or sand secured IRON
the woods or from some field where
sweet potatoes have never been grown.
All rubbish about the bed that might
contain disease germs should be raked
up and burned or carted away. If ma
nure is used in the bed as a source of
heat, care must be taken to see that
diseased or rotted sweet potatoes have
not been thrown upon it or that it has
not been subjected to infestation by
germs from other sources.
Rotate the sweet-potato crop. If pos
'ible, plant the healthy plants on ground
where sweet potatoes have not been |
grown for at least three years.
