Velvet Beans Pay

Clemson College, Oct. 31.-Mr. l..
Roland WindhaEl a Darlington
county farmer, .,,.s fine demon
stration OF what can be accom-
plished by growing crops for hogs.
allowing them to hog down the
crop and thus saving the expenses
of harvesting. Recently Mr.. Wind
ham showed A. n. Ward, county
agent. small field consisting Of
one acre and a half Of soy beans.
For three weeks there had been
feeding on this small patch fifty
hogs, seven COWS, and five mules
and horses No feed had been Civ
en- this stock from the barn. all
that they had eaten had come
from the soy bean field. MI Wind
ham states that this field has
brought more returns for it's size
than any other equal area on his
farm. The beans were Sro..n
with practically no expense. They
were planted in q sweep furroW
with no fertilizer and plowed twice.
An immense growth is still on the
land.
For five weeks previous to this.
all of Mr.. Windham's stock were
on a three-acre field Of corn and
velvet Deans where the corn had
not been gathered. This is cheap
feeding. MIR. Windham has num-
bcr of fields in velvet beans fenced
off so stock may be turned in to DO
heir own harvesting. Every farm
az should get in position TO feed his
stock in this manner.

Secretary Of War Weeks Urg-
cd to Allow Use of Power
Plant to Help North Car
DINA Mills

Washington, Oct. 31.-Senators
representinG the states Of Alabama,

the auxiliary steam plant at Muscle
Schoals to the Alabama Power
company to the end that industry
in North Carolina and South Car
olina, put ont Of business because
Of drought may receive over trans
mission lines power necessary for
their operation.
At the present time, North Caro-
lima is so desperately situated that
the trains are transporting water
to the mills, many Of which have
been forced to suspend business.
The governments steam plant at
Muscle Shoals is idle, and if leased
to the Alabama Power company
will be able to transmit across
Georgia $4,000 horse power for use
of business in the CarolinaS. AL
ready, from it's own resources, the
Alabama Power company is sup
plying in connection with Georgia
companies, 10000 horse power,
which is it's surplus.
1t is understood that the Ala
bama Power company would ac-
uuire q lease for one year. Sena-
tor Underwood of Alabama, in writ
ing Secretary Weeks today, declar-
ed that nothing should be done by
the government even to relieve a
desperate situation, which would
interfere with the permanent dis
posal Of Muscle Shoals in accord
ance with plans under considera-
ton by the government.
Senator'S Harris Of Georgia and
Dial of South Carolina also ad-
dressed communications TO the sec
retary Senator ,Overman Of North

morrow If the lease is granted the
result viii be an Illuminating illus
tration of the ability of Southern
companies, by interlocking trans
mission wires, to serve any COM
nunity within a radius Of 1000
miles, which is temporarily distress
ed.
Senator Dial, in his comnunica-
ton to the secretary, pictured con-
ditions in the Piedmont section Of
the South, as follows:
"A great many Of our industrial
plants have been shut down for the
want of hydro-electric power. The
drought that has afflicted us has
caused serious losses to companies
and thrown much labor out of en-
ployment. Since the government
has a steam plant at Muscle Shoals
l urge you to grant a lease to the
Alabama Power company. The
government will receive a return
on present idle industry and will
in addition serve a very laudable
purpose"

Moving For
Farmers Party
Meeting Being Held in Wash
ington to Form National
Organization

Columbia. November Com
missioner Harris left Monday
for Washington to attend the
preliminary meeting Of arm or
ganizations which is to call a ma
tion-wide rally of American farm
ers. Mr.. Harris said that he has
long contended that the farmers
have in their own hands the rem
edy for their troubles, but they
must organize a nationwide unit
before they can accomplish funda-
mental changes. Temporary relief,
he said, is not enough. What the
farmers must require is a change
of conditions of production and
marketing.
The nationwide rally is called by
representative Of more than forty
million people concerned in or de-
pendent upon agriculture. They
represent also an investment OF
eight billion dollars. The farmer
is constantly being told that agri-
culture is the foundation of all the
nation. If that is so, we must make
the foundation more secure, said
Mr.. Harris.
The conference Tuesday will out
line plans for the great rally at
which time will he discussed pro-
ducing, transportation and market
ing conditions The meeting will
be addressed by number Of men
of national prominence, and the
keynote of the meeting Will be the
universal coordination Of all farm
industries, the aiding Of stabiliza-
ton of all farm products.
