PROHIBITION FOREMOST
Irish Question Threatens to
Bring on Fight.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, June 26.
Bone dry prohibition, profiteering,
industrial relations, the League Of
Nations and the Irish question prom
ise to be headliners in the fight over
democratic platform planks.
In this category the prohibition
question was easily foremost in the
minds Of leaders and delegates, az
the bone drys and ants began the
counting Of noses TO see where they
STOOD. A convention floor fight
seemed almost certain, both sides in
sisting they wanted n verdict on the
issue by the body of delegates.
Coming rapidly into the limelight
and also threatening a fight in the
open convention was the Irish ques-
tion on which whole scale Of rec
concentrations running from Irish
recognition as an expression of SYM
pathy will be laid before the resolu-
tions committee.
The League Of Nations row was
more or less in the background but
opponents of President wilson of
various shades of iirreconcilisbility
were making an effort to get together
and block his ratification plank
a. to the labor problem and profit
eering, only the beginnings Of dis
agreement were in evidence. On the
profiteering issue, however. both w.
J. Bryan and Attorney General Palm
er will have ideas which may bring
out stiff alignment more or less
along administration and anti-ad-
ministration lines.
Bryan Takes Charge.
Mr.. Bryan seemed likely tonight To
be the stormy petrol of the platform
fight. He took charge today Of the
prohibition forces. lined up support
for his League Of Nations fight and
made himself generally the chief sub
ject of speculation in discussion of
President Wilson and the Virginia
platform endorsed by him.
On prohibition three courses are
open. Mr.. Bryan and his supporters
want an affirmative declaration for
the enforcement and preservation un-
changed of the present half of one
per cent Volstead act. A group in
which the New York and New Jersey
delegations are taking the lead are
in favor Of liberalization Of the law
for which they say a way has been
opened by the supreme courts de-
cisions. Still a third larger class of
delegations and leaders are for no
prohibition plank.
Enheartened by the action Of the
Pennsylvania caucus in refusing to
instruct its resolutions committee
member to urge a modification of the
Volstead act. drys today were claim
ing not onaly would they be able to
prevent a wet. plank built into the
platform, but would be able to in
clude plank commending the law.
Mr.. Bryan announced he would
fight the vets from the committee
to the convention floor. That the
committee has majority for the
drys j. conceded. but the vets are
planning minority report, and Nor
man Mack. national committeeman
from New York, said his state would
make determined fight for the mod
ification Of the Volstead act even IL
the New York state delegates stood
alone.
The drys were saying tonight that
the whole issue with a view Of saving
local organizations in localities known
TO be wet.

LESSONS ON THE PAST

The advantage of carrying on IN
education was emphasized this after
noon in ibis talk to the graduates OF
the grammar school by the Rev. Fred
erick w. Long, of the First Congre-
dress of the day. DR.. Long took for
his theme Advancement" and talked
to the pupils who are going into the
high school today. along that line.
He explained the necessity and the
advantage as well of training and
education. and urged the pupils to go
ahead with their education, not only
now, but when they have finished high
school to look forward to something
more.
Lessons already given in thrift
through the school savings system
were commended by the speaker. who
incidentally spoke of the value of saw
ings. He also touched upon and EN-
phasized simplicity of dress, habits
and manner The young girl who
paints her face came in for censure
by the speaker.
The foundation for the future is
being laid in the application to the
studies which have been taken and
which viii be included in the new
work in the high school, DR.. Long
told the young students. They are
preparing now for a future work, not
only for preparatory school and col
lege. but also for life.
He closed with advice as to the out
look for the future and urged the
young graduates to carry on with the
lessons of the past to guide them.
Supt. William Aldrich presented the
certificates of graduation, and E. S.
Patterson. principal of the grammer
school, spoke very briefly to the class.

musical selections. The exercises
were held in the assembly room of

PULLING FODDER
DECREASES YIELD
Experiments Show Loss of Forty
Per Cent.

Clemson College, Sept. ia cir
cular issued by the extension service
several years ago on the bad practice
of fodder pulling contains some very
convincing facts and also proofs that
should be considered again just at
this time. Experiments on the farm
Of David R. Coker, at Hartsville, were
the source Of the facts and conclu-
sions, some Of which are here given:
The results Of experience for four
years on the Coker farm show con-
clusively that if fodder is pulled when
the bottom leaves begin to turn, there
is loss of at least "a per cent. in
yield of corn. If pulled when three
fourths of the leaves are dry, there
is about 10 per cent. decrease in yield.
The 1913 experiments showed a de-
creased yield Of 27.3 per cent when
the fodder was pulled early; and the
1912 experiments showed decreased
yield of 13.1 per cent, when pulled
. late.
But the above represents only
part Of the total loss, since much of
the loss comes through the effect on
the yield Of the next years crop. Seed
corn taken from a fodder-pulled field
lis much lower in vitality than seed
corn taken from field properly ma
tured and developed; consequently,
when such seed are planted a de-
crease in crop yield necessarily re-
suits. And not only will the yield be
lowered, but the quality of the corn
also, for anything which tends to
lower the yield will in most cases
cause more inferior and waste corn.
An experiment to determine just
what loss there would be from plaut-
ing fodder pulled" corn as compared
with properly matured seed showed
that there was a decrease Of 7.2 per
cent. in yield; and as opposed to 2.5
per cent. in the other, which means a
total loss Of 1877 per cent. from the
use of fodder pulled" seed.
Add to this 1877 per cent. loss the
first effect of fodder pulling GA per
cent. decrease in the preceding years
CROP and you have total loss OF
40.7 per cent. Is it surprising that
the yield of corn in the South is so
small?
What is the answer? Stop pulling
ing fodder; but to those who still
feel that they must pull fodder, let
this be said: Leave at least two or
three acres of your crop unpulled
from which to select your seed corn
for the following year, so that you
may keep up the quality Of your seed
and not suffer the second Of the two
losses set forth above.
