A PLEA FOR MORE CORN
Farmers of State Urged to Produce
Big Corn Cop to Meet Wheat
Shortage.

Clemson College, May 22.--The lat
est report of the South Carolina Field
Agent Of the Bureau of Crop Esti-
mates, Mr.. B. B. Hare, shows an in
dicated wheat yield of 1901 900 bush
els for this state, or $4,000 less than
last year. Two percent Of the acreage
sown has been abandoned. The winter
wheat acreage for the United States
is 34,165,00 against 49,905, 900 last
year, and the estimated production is
! 1873 per cent less than last year.
In. view of this great reduction in
acreage and alarming shortage in pro-
duction, Mr.. w. w. Long, director Of
the Extension Service, feels that
prompt and decided action should be
taken toward larger corn crop in
this state to help meet the emergency.
He is therefore sending out widely
thru the state the following message
or the subject in the hope that South
Carolina may not be caught without
| food this fall. Fortunately it is not
yet too late to save the day.
reports just received from United
Sts les Department of Agriculture In
dicate Sd percent reduction in wheat
production this year. Unless ONE
thing is done to meet this situation,
| flour will be on same basis as during
the war, with this difforcnce,-we
were then blessed with large corn
yields. Owing to unfavorable weather
! conditions and the natural incentive
to grow cotton on account of present
high price and fear of the wider
spreading Of the weevil within next
few years, we are liable to have dis
tressingly short corn crop.

SLASHES THROATS OF
HERSELF AND FOUR
OF HER BABY GIRLS

Cuthbert, Ga, May 22.-Mrs. w. H.
Ward, IF Cuthbert, slashed the throats
of herself and four Of her Ave children
with razor early today according to
the police, while her husband lay
asleep in an adjoining room. Mental
arrangement from long illness was
said by her family to have caused the
deed.
One Of the children, a girl of five,>
died from the injuries, two others were
said to be in serious condition, but
the fourth child and the mother are
expected to recover. !,
According to the police, Ward was
aroused by the screams of the children
and ran into the room in time to Crap
pie with his wife as she slashed her
own throat. He overpowercd her and
gave the alarm. Mrs. Ward was placed
in the care Of physician, who admin
istered drug to quiet her nerves, and
no statement of the affair had been
obtained from her tonight. She is
about thirty-fve years old. Authorities
expressed the opinion that an effort
would be made to place the woman in
an institution and that no charge of
murder would be placed against her.
She was not arrested.
All of the children who were in
jured were girls, ranging in age from
five to ten years. Ora, who was killed
was the youngest child whom the
mother attacked.

she became frightened and jumped
from the machine and the negro
started after her. Then Moore, ac-
cording to Miss Clark, seized a re-
volver from the door pocket of the
automobile and fired at the black. In
an exchange of shots Moore was shot
through the heart and the negro
struck in the leg and hand. Accord
ing to Miss Clark he continued to pur-
sue her until she had given him some
iewelry.
Turner, who is said to answer the
description given by Miss Clark of the
assailant, was captured in the vicinity
of Arlington National Cemetery. Po-
lice say that Turner bore two wounds,
one in the hand and the other in the
leg, when arrested.
Moore and Miss Clark, whose home
is in Chicago, were to be married
soon.
