Coueton Gives Evidence Of Progress.
Manning Times.


Two business men from Manning
visited Walterboro, 8. c.. yesterda3
to inspect the sweet potato curing
house and grain elevator. their report
OF what they saw is interesting and
points a, way for relief for Ciareraea
county farmers.
Four sweet potato curing houses
were erected during the past year Ia
different sections OF Colleton county.
The houses have a capacity OF s,eav
bushels each and three OF them were
filled to capacity during the curing
season. The potatoes were sold
through The Southern States Produc@
Distributors, Columbia, 8. c., under
the trade name Of sugarspuds. Elevea
carloads were shipped TO various
parts Of the country, some go!Agso
Southern Texas, otners to Kansas
New York, and North Carolina 9sa
prices received were even better ta;aA
the growers had expected. The ar9-
est price was s1Sa pc: crate, eS tive
peclzs; the highst, $i.f5.
The grain elevator was partssaia
II interesting. This vas erected at q
-
cost Of $4,000 last year. It is g
spbsts ntial concrete and sheet i.eR
building nearly rs feet high. Having
storage facilities OF $4,000 bushesA'
the operators can buyin any euastss5
and ship when it is desirable. The
farmer with one bushel OF ear sofa
in the shuck can sell for cash at asay
time.
When corn is delivered to eleTa-
tor the shuck is gu chly renoTed n

and baled. There is a ready marKes
for them for feed. The corn Is shett-

Turkish Women Ignoring Ase-oid
Customs.

Constantinople, Aprjl 26.--The COM
n1and OF the Shcik kul-Islam. vicar of
the Sultan, ordering Turkish women
not TO, appear on the stage, is being
ignored ty them. The German-Aus-
trian and allied occupations Of the
city, together with the loss OF hus-
bands, fathers. and brothers. and the
press OF poverty. has brought a new
freedom 10 Turkish women. This is
daily seen by their clothing.
They wear their wells still, instead
OF Il hat, but turned back and tied into
4 pretty Knot, after the manner OF
their Russian refugee sisters.
Because of the high price Of cloth,
Turkish women no longer wear a
multitude Of garnens, designed in
old time to hide the outlines OF their
figures. Both veil and dresses are u
deep sea blue, instead Of the dull
conventional black once the custom
Some affect the homespun brown
dress. the becoming garment design
ed by Halide Hanum, the nationalist
woman leader.
These changes have dissipated the
mystery which once enveloped the
Turkish woman and Americans here
find that she does not differ in looks
very much from others. On an aver
age, they are not SO good looking as
the American woman. The differ
ence may be said to lie in their TIM
idity Even this quality is dissipated
quickly when they come in contact
with foreigners, as is the case IN the
mixed receptions given at the Con-
stantinople College fer Girls, main
tained here by Americans. AT such
receptions the Turkish girls and wo-
men talk brightly and cleverly with
American naval officers and other
guests. and sometimes take part
in the dancing and fiirtations.

The Arabian Horse Has Less Back
bone-Carries More Weight.

The tradition ascribinS to the
Arab horse extraordinary endurance
IS sustained by abundant evidence. AS
:. recent illustration. a tnree-hundred-
mile test was made in 1919 from
Fort Ethan Allen. Vermont, to Camp
oercns, Massachusetts, and the first
lo-se to finish was a pure-bred Arab
marc named "Ranlia" which made
he distance in 81 hours and 20 r.
minutes; the animal placed second
was Kingfisher, three-fourths Ana -
and one-fourth thoroughbred. Tn:
,nirnal that finished third in the eu-
iurance test was also pure-brett
Arab mare, and the one 20 finish
fourth vas a three-fourths grade
Arab. the dam of kingisIer.
In the army tests OF 1870. tho
Arabs again made remarkable sno%-
jng.
Alr. II. *. Bush-Brown, who pre-
:ents the case for the Arab IN the
Journal Of Heredity, offers an eX-
2lanation Of the extraordinary en-
,lrance of animals of this breed
based in part on ti:e fact that the
Arab has Only five lumbar vertebrae
(betwecn tho ribs and the pelv1s),
while all ether families Of horses
have six. This difference in structure
is believed TO explain why tho Arao'
though small. can carry great
weight. The anomaly illustrates thu

not get along without our daily papers,
because they keep us Informed about
what's going on throughout the ma

when you say that they take care Of

can't, and the publishers haven't any

of which will be seeded in alfalfa.
Visit a few farms where the crop has
been established through the use of
lime and you will get the strongest
kind of recommendations for alfalfa
and the need of lime. Harker Bros.
on whose farm steers have been
raised and fed for many years have
today lined sixty acres all Of which
is now or will be seeded to alfalfa.
Thirty acres has this year produced
them nearly hundred tons of hay,
each ton of which is almost equal to
a ton of bran. Three years ago Jim
Peterson, Dodgeville, bought five
tons of lime and tried it out on some
of his "sick' soil. AS a result then
the lime crusher set up in his COM
munity, not five more, but one hun
dred and fifty tons, more than any
farmer in Iowa County has ever
bought.

Farmers Buy Lime.

Early last spring after having 10
Gated two local men who were inter-
ested in the lime crushing business,
a special meeting was called at
Dodgeville. The proposition was
there explained and the farmers pres
ent signed up for over 1900 tons of
lime But WHY? Because they
knew the value of lime in getting
alfalfa started, and because the lime
was to be crushed on or near their
farms for $500 per ton without
their furnishing any labor of capital
whatsoever. AS a direct result of
this meeting Will Johns and Jake
Jundert were convinced that farmers
wanted lime in large quantities and
soon after they were busy crushing.
They worked practically all summer
moving from place to place, furnish
ing their own labor and crushing just
as much as farmers wanted in each
community. 1t made no difference
whether farmers were cultivating
corn, haying, or filling silos, this
work went on.
After filling practically all Of the
Dodgeville orders there were at
least six other communities where
this machine could have moved, one
of which was the town of Brigham.
When winter set in a few weeks ago
they had just completed about 100
tons in that town. In all they fur

about 1900 tons GO carloads) of
pure lime in one season and they
have just scratched the surface
Ninety carloads is not very much,
but it is ten times as much as has
been shipped in Iowa County during
the past fifty years.
AS was mentioned before the main
reason why so much more lime was
bought this season as compared to
even few years ago (when every
one seemed to have money! is be-
cause the price was less than half
the cost of lime shipped in. The cost
of lime shipped in has been $500 per
ton and the difference here alone
Melted $3.50 per ton. Farmers ad-
nit that after considering the cost OF
unloading and hauling lime from the
total saving per ton ranged from 81
to So depending on the distance from
the railroad. Striking an average OF
$3.50 per ton on $500 tons amounts
to a saving of over $4,000 due to the
introduction Of one lime pulverizer
during the first year of operation.
That figure alone is large enough to
pay the direct costs to the county OF
the office of County Agent for per-
iod of three years.
The Value of Lime.
The $4,000 saved is, however, of
minor Importance when compared
to the real benefits derived by the
use of lime. The $500 tons will
cover about $50 acres practically all
