most widespread and destructive dis
ease OF small grain. II frequently oc.

oats are grown il proper control meas

alone reduces the production of oats
in this State by at least 10 per cent
and in some fields there are losses an
high as so per cent. which can easily
be prevented by inexpensive seed
treatment, says J. l.. Seal. Extension
Service plant pathologist.
This disease is caused bv fungus
which grows within the the tissues OF
the plant The spores germinate
about the same time that the Young
oat plants come up. and the flaments
or the fungus remain alive in the oat
plants without apparently causing any
serious damage until the plants begin
TO head in the spring. II then con-
centrates its efforts in the oat heads
and fills up the places where the
grains should form with the black.

on healthy heads OF oats In the field
while others are infested in the thresh.

spores remain alive on the grain until
planted in the fall.
Seed for planting should not be
saved from fields that show over 2 to
5 per cent OF smutted heads. and in
that case the seed should be treated
Even il field is practically free OF
smuts and there are smutty fields

Keeping Up tho White House.

President Wilson has been extreme
1y conservative in allowing expendi-
lures for the White House since he
has occupied II, and not a dollar has
been expended, particularly since the
declaration of war, that could pos

the walls in the state parlOrs were re-
papered, but the same design of wall
paper was kept In all Of the rooms
The handsome patriotic design Of the
blue field and stars. which was re-
stored In 1908, and which has been so
popular still graces the walls OF the
blue chambers. The rugs were re-
placed by new ones, while dainty new
curtains of lace were hung under the
heavy draperies. All the furniture
has been reuphOlstered in the same
pattern. These small rcnovatiOns have

ECONOMIC HOG
PRODUCTION
Plant Grazing Crops and Feed
Heavily at ALI Times.

Clemson COllege.-"The market hog
that sees his first birthday usually
loses money for the owner" This
statement is made by d. w Williams.
livestock specialist OF the Extension
Service, in discussing profitable hog
production in South Carolina. This
means that the hog must go to the
slaughter at eight to ten motnhs of
age, weighing two hundred pounds.
This is not an unusual weight for
hogs at eight months. Recently one
feeder averaged over two hundred on
twelve head at five months. To make
profits from hogs it is necessary to
feed heavy at all times. A starving
process is losing one in growing
hogs.
The hog raiscr's problem. therefore
is How can | make the most hog. in
the least time at the lowest cost?"
Plenty of feed provided ahead of time
is the solution. Pigs farrowed in Jan
uary and February should be ready
for the October and November mar
kets.
Start now and provide the feeds
that will be needed this fall We can
not compete with the corn belt farmer
raising hogs in a dry lot on corn and
purchased supplementary feeds such
as shorts and tankage. While these
are always necessary to make the best
gains, we must use forage crops just
as much as possible. With the wide
use OF forage crops cheaper pork can
be produced in South Carolina than in
the corn helt
Be sure TO plant some supplement-.
airy feed crop with your corn Cow
peas, soy beans, and velvet beans all
furnish good grazing for hogs. In
the fall let the hogs do the harvest.
lg and you will find but very little
wasted Let the hogs you are going
to market gather most OF the feed:
then when ii gets so scarce that they
must cover a great deal of ground in
getting enough to eat remove them
and let sOws and smaller pigs finish
cleaning up the field.
small patch OF sweet potatoes will
furnish much succulcnt feed which
with a grain ration will make very
satisfactory gains.
Every farmer. whether or not he
raise hogs. should have some alfalfa.
1t pays handsomely where il is
grown. As forage crop for hogs it
is unexCelled
1t is questionable whether it is ad-
visable to plant very many peanuts for
hogs this fall. says Mr.. Williams
While hogs make very cheap and
rapid gains on this crop. the carcasses
are greatly Disseminated against on
the market. Soft drippy pork is not
desirable. South Carolina is now
producing hogs that sell to better ad-
vantage than those from other South.
ern States, because these hogs kill
hard as rule. II is to our advantage
TO continue marketing a superior prod
uct which sells we'll toward the top Of
the market rather than to get rep
utatiOn for soft hogs and take cut
in price which is often three or four
cents per pound.
Hogs will be marketed this fall in
carload lots from practically every
county. Aim to provide a few surplus
hogs for these shinments to help es-
tablish hog market in this state Be
sure to kill enough to assure your
home supply OF meat; then market
the surplus In the future OF diversi-
ned farming in South Carolina the
hog is one Of the most promising fac
tors

better condition than it now is, when he
must select his stock bearing in mind
the necessary financial investment: In
one instance Mr.. Arnold, it seems to me,
draws false analogy. He says:
dealers in all sorts of merchandise
books excepted) when brying supplies
are able from their Knowledge of the
goods offered them TO exercise judgment
in making their selections. For instance,
the buyer Of linens or any other textile
can readily determine ther quality by an
examination of the goods: the buyer of
teas can judge of their quality by taste;
the buyer of metals by specifications and
analytical tests. In fact the expert buyer
is always able to determine easily the
value of the sort of merchandise with
which training and study have made him
familiar"
Books are not merchandise except for

more pleasure in selling books which he
has purchased Cor that purpose than in
selling books which are in his shelves

TO give him tte chance to live. The writer
does not claim distinction IN this fact
that he prefers to fight FIR his livelihood
rather than have the publisher endow him.

The writer appreciates more than will
his critics his inexperiehce In book selling
and he appreciates Mr.. Arnold's long and
distinguished connection with the book
trade as a collector Of rare books and an
able critic. The writer is a "mere book
seller" younger by many years than Mr.
Arnold in experience. To take direct
issue with so distinguished a gentleman
would be in the nature of an impertinence.
a charge TO which he does not wish TO Law
himself open.
As it happens, however, the writer is
pretty actively engaged in bookseling at
the present moment, and he cannot agree
with Mr.. Arnold that the general privilege
of return of unsold books to the publish
ers is the healthy way TO run book store.
Occasionally the returnable privilege is
desirable and advantageous both to the
publisher and to the bookseller but such
instances are rare
Mr.. Arnold has said that the child of
the publisher is the bookseller. To carry
his analogy still further why should the
parent care for the child once he is ma
ture? True the bookseller would proba-
bly, carry larger stock, provided it was
all purchased on returnable basis, but
his stock would not necessarily be in any
