his first administration began the
new era in South Carolina when the

they will write. too, that. when war
came, at the head of affairs was a
man who directed the use of the re-

his personal fortunes and selecting
the men who best could and would
do the things necessary to be done.

WANT FARMER BOYS RELEASED

A number of farmers throughout
the southern states are becoming
restless over the fact that their boys
in the home camps have not been
released and they fear they will not
be released in time to begin this
years crop. Some of them have ap-
pealed to senators in Washington
and the matter will be laid before
the secretary of war. 1t is pointed
out that in some sections practically
every. able-bodied man between the
ages of 21 and 81 was sent to the
army and many of them went no
further than the home camps. Now
the farmers want to begin prepara-
tions for the crops and fear scarcity
of labor.
The News is not informed as to
the intention of the war department
in regard to the release OF the me-,
in home camps. but it is our under
standing that they are to be released
as early as possible. as as fast as
conditions will permit. Perhaps
there should be scme speeding up
with regard to the farmer boys
whose duty it will pe to see that
there is no food shortage in the
year ahead. but we doubt if any dis
will be made. 1t is prob
able that the men in home camps
will be released without regard to
their business or calling. and We
have the faith in the war depart
ment that it will be done as quickly
rs possible.

New Brand OF Peas.
(Chester News.)

In its plant-breeding work with
cowpeas, which involves several hun
dred hybrids and selections. the
United States department OF agricul-
ture during the past year has de-
veloped several new sorts which give
such promise that they are now be-
ing grown in quantity for distribu-
tion. These varieties are Potomac,
Arlington. Columbia. White Hybrid.
and Early Buff. Extensive field
work is being conducted by the de-
partment with hybrids. especially in
the wilt and nematode lands OF the
southern states. Two hybrid selec-
tions. unnamed as yet. have been
found highly resistant TO both
nematodes and wilt and are superior
to other sorts for the production OF
seed and forage. These two selec-
tions are being grown in quantity
for more extensive field tests next
year.
