MEXIGO PAYS.

The Mexican Republic owes a

many years. Since Porfirio Diaz,
the strong man who brought Mex

was ousted, back in 1911, the Re-
public has neglected interest as

and this fact has not made the
path any easier. European cred
itors of Latin-American states have
always besought their governments
to aid them in collections and time
and again the United States has
had occasion to invoke the Monroe
Doctrine to prevent the seizure Of
customs houses, If not actual in
vasions. American creditors. in
like predicament, have seldom
found our government responsive
to such appeals.
Now the Obregon government,
by far the strongest Mexico has had
in decade, prepares to begin
payment on it's debts. and creditors
in this country, for the most part

Piled on foreign obligations. First

UNIFORM AIR LAWS.

The conference of commissioners
on uniform state laws which met
recently at Cincinnati, discussed a
uniform aviation act. Their dis
cussion is Of interest because it in
dicated a few of the legal prob
lens which have come into being
along with the newest form of
transportation.
The act, as it stood at the end
of the conference, includes recog-
nition Of the right to fly over pri-
vate property, provided the fight
is not so slow as to interfere with
the use Of the land. 1t requires
that an aviator fly at sufficient
height to enable him to land at a
recognized landing place in case Of
accident, and provides further for
liability for damage if he does land
on private property. Before the
proposed law is presented to the
American Bar Association for final
approval and recommendation to
state legislatures there may be 9TH
er important requirements in it.
The right to fly over private
property is of even more import
ance than appears to the casual
reader. Sympathy for the aviator
who falls in an accident is no less
because one also sympathizes with
the persons on the land beneath
who also suffer injury. There is a
growing feeling that flying should
be done as little as possible over
crowds of spectators or over city
thoroughfares. The risk to many
lives is too great. The fact re-
mains that if an aviator is to fly
any distance at all he is bound to
fly over somebody's property and
should have legal right to do'so,
always with as many precautions
as are possible. The early objec-
ton Of many farmers that their
livestock and poultry were fright
ened by aviators will probably dis
appear as those domestic creatures
become as accustomed to airplanes
as they are to automobiles. The
possibility Of actual damage is diff
ferent and must be safeguarded
against if there is any way Of doing
so.

The Striped Tulips.

Among the late tulips are class
eS characterized by bewilderlns
variegations which planted in
groups by themselves are one OF
the most interesting Of all the
races of tulips. These are known
as byblooms and biZarres, with 3
newer class known as Rembrandts
which resemble the bybloom Glass
but have the form Of the Darwins
from which they originate.
The byblooms come in shades OF
red. rose, pink and various lilacs

ed, famed and feathers with va
rious colors They are always
striped with white or a lighter
shade of the predominating color
The bizarres are always found with
yellow markings and maroons
browns. chestnuts and reds.
A strange type among the
striped and variegated tulips is the
parrots, enormous blooms with Ions
fringed and siashed petals, the
blooms so heavy that they bend
the stems. These are in shades OF
yellow and red and are gorgeous
subjects for cutting, being at their
best in vases.

1t is easy to argue that the great

that his statement of the situation

: QUOTA SYSTEM FAILS.

When the emergency restrictive
immigration act was passed per-
hitting entry into this country OF
limited percentage of aliens from
each country whose nationals seek
our shores, many Of its faults were
recognized. Still. it was thought
to be fairly satisfactory as an inter
i'm measure.
In actual operation it becomes
more ludierous and unsatisfactory
with each succeeding month. News
papers of September carried the
report of immigrant ships racing to
harbor from just outside the three
mile limit, where they had been
in waiting for several days. Each
captain was eager to be first to ar
rive so that his passengers could
be dumped before the quotas for
their lands were. filled. There are
SO many hundreds more aliens de-
string entrance than the quotas al
low, that late conaers must either
be returned to their native shores
or held on Ellis Island. until the
first of the following month gives
them another chance.
:, The Greek steamship, King Alex
ander, succeeded in docking first.
She carried 6S5 Greeks, while the
Acropolis, which ca1oe..n second,
carried 134 Greeks The Greek
quota is exceeded in the first ships
6s5.
1t is silly as well as trying sit
uation. immigration officials are
conferring in an effort to find some
way to enforce the law and at the
same time avoid the undesirable
effects Of its application. Whatever
they succeed in doing to solve the
immediate problem, there should
be one permanent lesson learned
from it.
When congress reconvenes this
month it should give early and sane
immigration legislation as import
ant a place on its calendar as the
tariff and taxation already occupy.

CIVIC CONTACT FOR FARM
WOMEN.

Everybody knows that there ls
a fund of common sense among
the farm women of America too
seldom sought in solving the coun-
try's problem. The Woman's Ma
tional Foundation proposes to rem
edy matters by deliberate cam
paisll to put the farm wife more
completely in touch with civic bet
termert and welfare work. Work
ing in connection with the extern
sion work of the Department of
Agriculture, the Foundation will
attempt to make the farm women
an active force in the club life Of
the nation.
Advices from the Department Of
Agriculture keep the country wo-
man informed as to modern meth
DDS and machinery for doing all
branches Of her work, so that she
may have spare time for develop
ment along other lines. The Foun-
dation. in it's turn. will help her to
fill that spare time by leading her
to active participation in public
matters.
She win be kept in touch,
through regular bulletins, with all
legislation Of especial interest to
her sex, and with the current news
on important topics. Through the
Foundation she will be given a
forum in which she will be encour-
aged to air her opinions. In every
general referendu,:, her advice will
be sought as earnestly as that Of
her city sisters on all questions per-
tanning to public advancement.
The farm women themselves will
benefit by any agency which brings
them out of their shyness and iso-
lation; but the nation will benefit
even more by frequent contact with
these thinking, plain-speak-
ing women.

The diversified farming plan,
outlined by the committee of which
Mr. r. 3. Belser is chairman, and
recommended for adoption by the
farmers Of Sumter county, does not
include the planting OF wheat.
There may have been convincing
reasons that actuated the commit
tee to omit wheat from the pro-
gram. but with the information in
possession of the writer it seems
that wheat is one Of the necessary
and logical crops TO be planted by
all Sumter county farmers under
boil weevil conditions. AS much
money is sent out Of the county for
-four as for any other food stuff,
and 1t has been demonstrated re-
peatedly within thep asst ten years
that wheat can be successfully
grown on any land that will pro-
duce a good crop Of cotton. The
people of Sumter county are oblig-
ed to havey flour. and they may
just as well raise it at home as to
buy it from the west After the
wheat has been harvested the same
land can be made to produce an
other crop of corn or hay the same
season. Sumter county can be
made to produce all or the greater
part of.the flour required for home
consumption and it Will be a mis-
take to omit wheat from the farm
ing program.

A Big Chicken Ranch
Cheraw Men Expect to Sell
Over $4,000 a Year

Mr.. J. L. Crawford, jeweler, Of
Cheraw. who has recently built n
modern California bungalow about
two miles from Cheraw, is launch
ing an industry in our midst which
we trust will blaze the way for our
farmers in the poultry business.
Mr.. Crawford has secured the ser
vices of l.. W. Wertheim. ot Blairs-

experience in raising chickens and
is now president of the Suscue-
hama Poultry company, a large
poultry ranch in View Jersey. Mr..
Wertheim will come to Cheraw IN
September and will build and man
age a poultry ranch at Mr. Craw-
ford's home abou, two miles from
Cheraw. The ranch will be
stocked with 5000 white Leghorn
chickens Of the very best strain
obtainable and the equipment for
housing and breeding is to be the
latest and best models now used.
For instance, the laying houses
have electric lights installed equip
ped with switches that will auto
matically turn on the lights at 3
O'clock in the morning, thus giving
the hens a 15-hour work day.
Mr.. Crawford plans to sell non
fertile eggs for table use, Matching
eggs by the setting, day old chicks
and broilers. He figures he will
market between $4,000 and 30
O00 broilers year.
Mr.. Wertheim, who was in Che

arrangements. said that the CHI
mate here was ideal for the pro-
ject and he was delighted wife the
prospect of making Cheraw his fu-
ture home. The ranch will cover
about 20 acres and will be nearing
completion by October Is.
This will make two poultry busi-
nesses of note for Cheraw, Mr.. Il.

Plant Fall Oats Early.

Clemson College, Sept. BEST
results are secured with fall oats
when they are planted early. When
seeded reasonably early oats make
better growth, giving more graz
ing for livestock If desired for pas
ture, more protection to the soil
as cover crop, and make a bet
ter yield in the spring. For the
Piedmont section Of South Carolina
the latter part of September or
first of October is the best time;
for the coastal pla1ns sections Oc-
tober is the best time according to
Prof. c. P. Blackwell, agronomist.
If oats are planted for seed pro-
duction they should be seeded
alone, but if for cover crop or for
hay, hairy vetch should be seeded
with them. The hairy vetch not
only improves the quality Of the
hay. but also serves as & soil i'm
proving crop because it takes nj
trogen from the air and fixes it in
the soil in usable form.
Methods OF Seeding
The most common practice is
to seed oats in corn and cotton
middles with a three-tube drill, OR
to SOW broadcast and plow in with
a cultivator or sweep.
In sections where cotton does
not make rank growth and where
it natures early, it is a good prac-
tice to plow under the cotton stalks
as soon as the cotton is all out.
This should be done with a large
plow anW with a weed hook or
weed chain to help cover the plants
completely. This will help mater
tally also in the control Of the boil
weevil. After the land has been
plowed, the oats may be seeded
broadcast and narrowed in, or they
may be seeded with disc drill.
Oats are also seeded after corn
frequently, and this is good prac-
tice and may be done successfully
if velvet beans are not grown in
the corn. If velvet beans are
grown in the corn, it will be neces-
sary either to Craze them off be-
fore planting oats or to chop them
up with a heavy disc and plow
them under. This will of necessity
make the oat seeding later.
The best varieties Of oats to
plant are the Fulghum and the
Appler. and the best rate Of seed
ing is about two bushels per acre.
