CAPT. WIN. GnEENLAW
GOES WITH GEO. BAT1EN
ONE OF THE LARGEST ADVERTlS-
ING AGENCIES IN COUNTRY.
STARTED ON HERALD.

Captain William Greenlaw spent
the weekend in Columbia with his par
ent3, Mr.. and Mrs. w. B. Greenlaw,
at the Columbia Military Academy,
before leaving for New York City,
where he goes to take position with
the George Batten Advertising Agen-
cy, one of the largest and strongest
advertising agencies in the United
States.
CAPTAIN Greenlaw has been in Wash
ington City during the war, where he
has held most important position
with the army on account of his splen-
did business sagacity, and it was a
great source of annoyance and regret
upon his part that he was never allow
ed to take active service in the army.
Before entering the service of his
country, Captain Greenlaw was con-
nected with the Basham Advertising
Agency of Louisville, one of the larg.
est and strongest agencies in the
South, and during his connection with
this agency, he climbed to the position
of vice president and closed some
large advertising contracts through
out the South.
Captain Greenlaw is a graduate Of
Vanderbilt University and splendid
business man. The Herald feels proud
of his rapid advancement in his chos-
en- profession, and claims share in
his business training, for it was on
this paper that he got his first insight
into the newspaper game, although he
was only one of the route boys, he
made good, and took as much inter-
est in his small share of the papers
success as if he had been managing
editor or business manager. He al
ways surmoynted every obstacle that
came in his path. The Herald con-
graduates George Batten in securing
the services of such good man as
Captain Greenlaw.

SORGHUM CROP. WAS :
BIG PROFIT MAKER
SEED ALONE FROM 20 ACRES
SOLD FOR $825-CROP WORTH
TOTAL OF $2,825.

Big profits from what is generally
considered a side crop are shown in
figures given to The Herald by Austin
Harlan of the Cross Bridges section,
who knows how to get as much money
out of the soil as any man that ever
titled it. From 20 acres of sorghum
Mr.. Harlan created value of not
lezs than $2,825, or more than $40
an acre. Here is how it developed
From the seed alone Mr.. Harlan
$1.5O per bushel He filled three 100
ton silos, valued at S. ton, which
amounted to $1,S00 and fed so year
ling mules three months besides, the
feed being consumed by them being
valued at 5000.
No estimate of the cost of produc
ton of this crop was given by Mr.
Harlan, but 1t certainly was less than
it would have cost to produce the
same number of acres of corn. 1t was
in the sale of the seed that the big
gest profit was made, that product
genehally being considere of nc
special value.
But that feature of the crop wa:
made important in more than one
way. Besides selling for 1925, EN-
ployment was furnished a number Of
wemen in cutting the seed heads from
the stalks, the cost to Mr.. Harlan be
ing 800. He made money and an op
portunity was given the women to
earn money that they would not other
wise have had.
In this connection Mr.. Harlan said
that the labor situation even wher
conditions were most unfavorable had
never bothered him, because he made
it a rule to always keep his hands EN-
ployed at odd jobs when not making
a crop and thus gave them an oppor
tunity to earn something practically
all the time.

Bertram C. Dedman, city attorney
of Columbia on leave of absence to
serve his country in the auditing de.
partment of the army in Paris, was on
board the French liner Rochambeau
which was forced to stop Monday at
Halifax unscheduled to replendish
her supply of food and fuel before
proceeding to New York. kilograms
from Mr. Dedman today stated that
he expected to reach New York Thurs
day and to be in Columbia Saturday
or Sunday.
An Associated Press dispatch this
morning stated that rough weather
and strong head winds had delayed
the vessel until her supplies had been
almost exhausted and machinery
trouble developed. The vessel with
the aid of American mechincs aboard
succeeded in continuing the voyage
from mid-ocean but could not make
it to New York without stop
The liner carried 1873 returning
American soldiers, principally mem

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
PLANS FURTHER EFFORT TO
SUPPLY HELP.

Improvement of Farm Labor Condi-
tions Under Way.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Eleven il
peace treaties should be formally exc
cuted before the next harvest sea
son, farm labor conditions in the I'm
tied States will not automatically re
turn in 1919 to pre-war conditions
Therefore. the United States Depart
mant of Agriculture is planning farm
labor activities for 1919.
Officials of the department suggest
that the farm labor situation in 1913
may be quite as serious as that OF
1918. A large part of our army may
remain in Europe throughout the
year.
What Wheat Acreage Means.
The area of winter wheat sown in
the fall of 1918 is estimated by the
Department of Agriculture at 49,O27,'
600 acres, which is 1873 per cent more
than the revised estimated area soWn
in the fall of 1917.
The winter wheat acreage speaks
colume in regard to the need foI
farm help. Three or four men will
be needed to harvest what one man
has ed-and there has been nc
claim that there was a surplus OF
labor for the planting operations.
Permanent Labor Advocated.
The Department of Agriculture
plans to maintain its organization
that aided in supplying farm labor Ii
1918. 1t will aim to tap every source
of emergency help-men, women, ant
girls from the cities, the Boys Work
ing Reserve, and other organizations
of that sort.
The main effort of the department
however. is to be conferred on placing
men permanently as helpers on the
farms. Permanent labor, employed
the year around under good living
conditions and at fair wages, is be
lieyed to be one of the prime needs
on literally millions of American
farms.
Many soldiers and men who have
left the farms for war industries
and figures show that war industries
took more men from the farms thar
we're given to the army-are expect
ed to return to the farms if they are
offered permanent and profitable EN-
ployment.
What is the farmers part in max
ing farm labor permanent? In the
first place, department officials be
lieve, every farm that has an idle
period during a part of the year should
so plan its operations that there viii
be work through every season. Crops
can be rotated. live stock fed, dairy
ing. pursued, and poultry produced
These activities, added to grain pro

ducton, will solve the problem in

many sections, it is believed.
Homes for Hired Men
Larbe numbers of married men
should be working on the farms, it is
stated. To get them, better tenant
houses are needed in many cases,
and permanent employment is a
prime necessity. To help meet the
need for good tenant houses, the de-
partment has developed plans for
model structures.
Cooperation Helps Farmers.
One feature of the departments
work deals with stimulating CORPORA
tion and exchange of labor among
farmers. For example, it recently
has listed the heads of more than l.
coo thrashing rings in Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, and Michigan. These rings
include from three to twenty farms
and involve not only the cooperative
purchase of a thrashing machine but
also the cooperative arrangement of
crews for harvesting and thrashing.
The plan has proved so successful
that the same idea is spreading to
other kinds of farm work which can
best be handled by crews or teams of
men.

remains were shipped to Columbia
and inferred at Rose Mound cemetery
Sunday with the ceremonies of the
order of which he had been member
for more than half a century.
John Ciagetts age was authenticat-
ed by records and information held
by those who knew him. That he was
approximately 107 years old is a GER
tainty. The records show that he was
married IS years ago, that he was
drafted into the federal army in 1864
with his age given as AZ at that time,
and that he came to Tennessee long
before the Civil War with the Clagett
family who left Maryland and settled
in Tennessee. AS boy he was as
signed to duty as the playmate of
Horatio Clagett, of Centreville, who
'died eight years ago at the age Of 50.

him.
