One ship drives east and another west,
With the self-same winds that blow;
'Tis the set of the sails,
And not the gales,
Which tells us the way to go.
Like the winds of the sea are the ways of fate,
AS we voyage along through life;
IT'S the set Of soul
That decides its goal
And not the calm or the strife.

South Carolina Agricultural
College Sends Out Aid to
Farmers Contemplating
Raising Cattle

Since the boil weevil has made his
appearance in the south ana threat
ems to carry out his program of dis
organizing our plans of cotton farm
ing, many of our farmers and bust
ness men are now laying their plans
for the growing Of more and better
live stock.
Freeing of some states of the cat

increasing the number and quality
of the cattle in the south. Farmers,
realizing that this pest will now
cease to take his toll from their

number of their cattle. Business
men are planning to furnish money
for the purchase of the necessary
breeding stock to put the cattle ana
The bureau of animal industry, in
cooperation with Clemson college,
realizing the live stock possibilities
of South Carolina, have long been
preaching the growing of more and
better cattle and hogs on every
farm that the nation may be fed.
The high prices of meat and breed
ing animals, the present outlook for
the future demand for meat from the
European countries. and the knoWl-
edge Of the fact that a well-balanced
farm is a safe farm with it's quota
of live stock that will pay, have
caused our people to turn toward in
creasing their herds of cattle and
hogs, and to plan for their feeding
and care.
The conditions and the tendency of
the times have created sentiment
favorable for the advancement of the
live stock industry in the south.
Many farmers are buying breeding
stock--many others are making in
quiries where breeding animals may
be had.
1t is good to see this desire on
the part of our people to grow more
live stock, but in the demand for
breeding stock there turks a danger.
Many of our people are not familiar
ing animal-the trader. "bushWhach-
err" takes advantage of this lack OF
knowledge and Of the demand for
live stock and gets in his destructive
work. The danger is that THIS
"bushwhacker" will buy up culls
into the south and sell them to our
people as high-class animals.
The like has been done already to
some extent
This ''bushwhackr:" will bring
these animals in under the suise OF
aiding the live stock interests in this
state when really he is only after
the money. He will say, This is a
well-bred animal; she is entitled to
registration. but she is not register
when we lost our barn" This and
nanny other such alluring statements
will catch the honest buyer. Steer
clear of the "bushwhac ker," for he
is here today and gone tomorrow; it
is hard to put your finger on him; he
is a seller.
1t is up to the live stock breeders
in the south and to all who wish to
see the cattle and hog development
proceed unhampered, to bring all of
their influence to bear in preventing
the "bushwhacker' from plying his
trade and bringing in animals OF
doubtful breeding and "dog-tailed'
quality.

Campaign Started for
Protection of Cotton

Mr.. Chesley Howard, secretary of
Tie North Georgia Cotton Buyers
md Manufacturers Association
says:
There is more cotton held in small
towns around ginhouses, and at
farmers homes than for several
gears past, and the larger quantity
is exposed to the weather, more
so than for several seasons.
The rain, and unusually warm
weather, is causing an enormous
amount of damaged cotton. Out
side of the economic loss thus caus-
cd. q great deal of trouble will be
encountered by cotton shippers and
Imlls.
Please instruct your buyers and
connections to urge merchants in
the smaller towns to start a cam
paign of protection for cotton. Have
die local newspapers write edito-
rials on the subject, and impress
upon farmers the need of better
protection for the cotton they are
holding.

Plantation in the South
Different From Maine

The word plantation" is used
principally in the southern states,
where it originated in old slavery
times to designate a farm cultivat-
ed by negroes, as a cotton planta-
ton or a sugar plantation.
In Maine it has a distinctive
meaning, representing a. form of
Ship. In that state most of the
functions of local government are
performed by the town or township.
In addition to seventeen cities
and 39G towns, Maine has seventy
eight plantations and 131 inorganic
ed places under such names as
plantations and grants.

T orto Ricans Drilled
To Help Uncle Sam
Till Shoes Wore Out

When they learned that there was
States and repay their debt of 'Y8, a
group of patriotic Porto Ricans or
ganized and trained for their work
as hard as any regulars-till their
shoes wore out and they had to stop.
They speak a strange language,
from the American viewpoint, those
tobacco workers in the Collective
factory down in Porto Rico, and the
Stars and Stripes that waves over
their heads IS comparatively new
banner, but they have learned what
it means, and they like it. And in
the dark hour of the nation they
rallied and drilled and drilled that
they might be better qualified to help
Uncle Sam.
DR.. Levitt and others with military
knowledge and experience came to
them and offered their aid in pre-
pairing them to be good soldiers. The
tobacco workers answered nobly.
Squads and platoons and companies
were organized and those who knew
the drill began to teach those who
did not know it. Nightly, after their
days of toll, these men would gather
and march and countermarch, halt
and mark time, present, port and
carry arms, with an earnestness that
was inspiration to their instructors.
But finally they had to stop. 1t
wasn't through lack of spirit or
change of view. 1t was simply
matter of shoes. Shoes cost a lot of
money-more than they ever did be-
fore, and wages are not a great deal
higher. People in the States who
have been paying such materially
higher prices for Porto Rican tobacco
have not been helping either the
workers in the factories, the workers
in the fields nor the owners of pri-
Vate plantations. The increased
profits go to the holders of the stock
in the gigantic tobacco companies. SO
the question of shoes became para
mount. Many of the drillers wore
out two pairs of shoes in their
tramping up and down the roads, all
wore out at least one pair. But they
had learned the rudiments of the
trade, and if they had ben called to
the colors, it would have been found
that the shoe leather had not been
used in vain.
