Twenty years later, on April 13,
1856, the general assembly, having
preceding body, and rcciting that
''no encouragement hath been hither-
TO given in this province for the
making of flax" revived the act for
a bounty on hemp and flax for a
period Of three years. The bounty
allowed under the new act was 20
shillmgs proclamation money for
every hundred pounds weight of

onng five score to the hundred, and
so in proportion for all under and
above that quantity made in this

named in the act, whose duty it was
to Judge whether flax upon which
the bounty was asked met the re-
quircmcntS.
In 1853 this act was revived for

respected flax, the bounty on hemp
being thereby reduced to six shilI-

SILO FILLING TIME

Clemson College, Sept. 13.--Re-
member you can make or ruin your
silagc at filling time says j. p. La
Master, chief of the dairy division,
who states that the feed value of
all silage crops depends on the time
they are cut, the method of cutting,
and packing.
Corn is ready for the silo when the
grain is we'll dented, the shuck is
turning brown, and tho lower leaves
on the stalk are dry. Just about
the time you pulled fodder before
you learned the better way.
Ii sorghum is used, make sure it
gets ripe before cutting The seed
should be hard and the stalk ready
for making syrup. When sorghum
is cut green for silagc, the result is
an acid watcry feed not rclished by
COWS.
Cutting the Silage
For the most efficient packing the
knives should be Sharp and should be
set to cut the material into pieces
onc-half to three fourths of an inch
in length. A distributor should be
used to spread the material about
the silo, else the heavy particles will
settle in one pile and the leaves and
lighter material blow to the outside.
If no distributor is ut hand, make a
chute which will deliver the material
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1921-09-14
to the center of the ,silo,, where it.
may be distributed evenly about the
surface by a man with q fork.
Packing the SiIage ~

IT ", e
y Packing is the most important
operation in filing silo. The Sc
3cret in keeping and making silage is
to keep the material air-tight. More
ssilage is spoiled by improper pack
ing than by any other cause. The
number of men needed in the silo de-
pends on the size of the silo and the
rate of filling. When six to ten tons
are being cut per hour, two men are
necded in q silo 10 feet in diameter,
and three in larger sizes. The pack
ing should be chiefly around the
edges. First, distribute the material
around the edges, pack we'll, and
then fill the center; then repeat
When finishing, round up the center
higher than the edges. In settling
the silage pulls away from the edges,
and filling up the center tends to
prevent this.
If the material is too dry to pack
we'll, add water. 1t is not easy to
damage the ensilage by using too
much water.

IN all Of modern merchandising
q. the biggest conundrum is the
fabric tire situation.
Around 1920 Of all car owners
use fabric tires.
Their instinct f. quality is as
strong and insistent as any one
else's.
Why, then, are they offered
such hodge-podge stocks of dis
count tires, ""odd lots, seconds"
"retreads' and other so-called
bargains of uncertain origin?
Sooner or later the public al
ways seeks out quality. AS

opinion in favor of II. S. Fabric
Tires has spread more this year

No Measures Necessary

BY an act passed by the general
assembly, March 20, 1778, it was de-
clarcd that the above mentioned
"acts and resolution have fully an
swcrcd the salutary purposes for
which they were enacted, and by the
great increase and .fourishing con-
dtion Of the manufactures of this
state are now become unnecessary"
Statistics as to production, con

Gov. John Drayton, in his "Vicws of

ARRESTED ON REFUSAL
TO PAY TAXI BILL

The refusal to pay a s35 taxi bill
resulted in the arrest of two Mexicans

lieved that all three are wanted in
other cities.

ployed by a Denver taxi company, and
the Mexicans. Julia and Andrew

bill. but found Officers Schulteiss and
Weiner on Northern avenue and
brought about the arrest of the Mex
leans. When he appeared at the city
hall. to bring about charges against
them, he was also arrested and all
three were confined to the city Jail.
The Mexicans were fined $50 each
in police court Saturday morning and
Robinson was released. but rearrested

Court streets in a special invitation to
Puebloans all this week. This is the
first showing of its kind held In the
city and follows the precedent Of large
eastern cities in giving the entire week
to the display of closed cars surround
ed with elaborate decorations.
Flanking all sides of the attractive
cars with the spirit of Christmas In
profuse flooring and BACKGROUND OF
pine trees, branches and needles with
a sprinkling Of kinnikinic and pine
cones, the effect is a striking repre-
sensation Of the holidays and conveys
the appropriateness Of the closed
models. At night blue and amber lights

trees and lay the large display floor
with pine branches.

DISABLED WAR VETERANSPASS
RESOLUTIONS ASKING help

Pueblo Chapter No. of the Dis
abled American Veterans of the
World War in a regular meeting re-
quested the assistance of every citizen
of Colorado. New Mexico. Utah and
wyoming to aid them in obtaining
justice by supporting a resolution
passed unanimously by them. The
resolution states that "the Veterans
Bureau of the Eleventh district is at
present a seething mass of dissension,
due to spies sent from Washington,
and others already in the bureau !.
who have sown seeds of discord"
and thus interfere with the harmoni-
GUS working of the bureau. 1t is
said these methods have so hampered
the work of the bureau that improper
consideration of the problems of the
disabled men have been the result
and that certain influences are at
work endeavoring to utilize the bur.
eau to further their own private In
terests at the expense of the eff
cheney of the bureau.
The chapter in the resolution ex-
pressed It's faith and confidence In
Dr. John Cornell and in his ability
to manage the affairs of the district
and requested he be Immediately ap-
pointed manager of the Eleventh dis
trict of the Veterans Bureau. They
also ask Washington that he be given
the fullest cooperation necessary to

ROAD sUPER|NTENDENTS
APPARENTLY SCARCE

But two counties in the Arkansas
valley employ regular road superinten-
dents, tho remainder following tho old
style OF employing men In sections or
precincts to take care of the roads in
their localities.
This came up at the valley meeting
Yesterday when the advisability of hav-
Ing a superintendent. was brought for

Prowers and Pueblo are tho only
counties which have road superinten-
dents. Chairman Rees of the Pueblo
board was asked for and gave an out
line of tho advantages of that system:

lowing suit
When Mr.. Rees took the chair as the

sociation OF County Commissioners, he

ask the cooperation of every employe
of the bureau. Complete decentrali-
zation of the district should be imme-
diately granted in accordance with
the Sweet bill, they believe.
1t was further resolved that pre-
ference be given disabled eX-service
men for positions in the bureau before
able bodied ex-service men or civil
lians. but the efficiency of the bur
eau not be lowered by the employ
ment of disabled or any ex-service
men in preference to civilians more
capable. They also said that they
wished it impressed upon all cm-
ployes Of the bureau that the said
bureau is for the benefit of the dis
abled man and not the disabled man
for the benefit of the bureau.
They also expressed fullest confid-
ence in Colonel Forbes, chief of the
bureau at Washington and to CO.
operate with him in any manner pos
sible to improve the bureau.
The members of the bureau are
desirous of obtaining the advantages
enable them to become once more
economic factors in the common
wealth and feel that they should not
be hampered in their object by
handicaps caused by continual bick-
ering in the bureau by people en-
played to assist them In re-habilita-
ton.
The chief object of the bureau Is
the care and treatment of the men
suffering as a result of their services
to their country during the World
War. The local chapter requests all
citizens having the welfare of the
disabled man at heart to write at
once to his senator or representative
to support the resolution it is sub
mitting.
