PRUNE TOMATO PLANTS

Clemson College, April "A thrift
ty tomato plant left to itself will
spread over Il space from 4 to feet
in diameter and will produce a peck
or more of tomatoes. If stakcd and
pruned it will yield almost the same
quantity of fruit, the tomatoes will
be larger, cleaner, better favored, and
superior in every respect, and enough
space can be conserved to accommo-
date several other plants cared for in

arc easily sprayed, and will continue

WHAT ABOUT THAT
PASTURE FOR THE PIGS?

Clemson College, April 4.-If we
want to succeed with hogs we must
have some good fences, and grow
some real forage crops, suggests l..
V. Ttarkcy, professor of animal hus-
bandry, for we cannot make the hog
business go in this state unless we
make good use of our grazing season.
A pig in pen is lazy and expensive,
while the pig on pasture is happy,
thrifty, and profitable. Every eX-
pertinent station, every extension de-
partment, and every prosperous hog
raiser in this country believes in good
pastures for hogs.
What can we grow in South Caro-
lima that hogs will pasture? Rape,
rye, soybcans, cOwpeas, Bermuda, les
pedeza, velvet beans, and many 9TH
cr pastures do we'll in this state. Sup
pose we try some of these pastures
and cut our grain ration in two.
Will hogs do well on pasture
alone? No, it is best to feed little
grain while the hogs are on the pas
turc. Two or three ears of corn to
each shote per day will work won
ders. The pasture will maintain the
animal and the grain will make
gains in weight
An acre of good pasture will be
turn from 30 Otto 600 pounds of
pork. Forty dollars per acre is not
bad when the pigs do the work

CROP NOTES

Owing to unusually favorable
weather conditions during the past
thirty days more farm work has been
accomplished to date than at this
time for many years past.
Cotton
Some cotton has been planted as far
north as the central counties and good
stands are reported in many cases.
OF course this is not general but as
the weather has been so favorable the
early planting is largely experimental
and limited. Fertilizers began to be
hauled from market to farm about
ten days ago. The present indications
are to the effect that the commercial
fertilizers used this season will be
less than half of that used last year
Corn
Good stands are reported in many
localities of the coastal counties. Some
paintings may be found throughout
the State, but the planted acreage in
the northern tier Of counties is Of
course small ut this time.
Wheat
Weather conditions have been very
favorable and, while conditions are
1alr to good the prospects are not

normal crop. Otherwise condition
only fair.
Potatoes
commercial growers i'm the coastal
counties report good stands with very
favorable prospects. Most farmers
have planted their usual acreage for
home use and it appears that stands
will be obtained much earlier than US
ual.
Truck Crops
Shipping of lettuce and other early
truck crops has been well under way
for two weeks or more.
Good stands or peas and beans for
nome use are reported from various
sections to date.

Suppose foreign government

ator Brandegee, "and their request
should be apparently in proper compli-
ance, would you feel compelled to pay
1t out, in spite of the fact that the
judiciary Committee expressed their
view that you had no right to do it
until they had reported all the facts
to the Senate?"
II cannot answer that speculative
proposition" the Secretary answered.
Il will say, however. that I will give
the committee a chance to know the
facts, If they arise. / will be willing
to dc that. The Treasury is not anxious
to pay out money to anybody. It's
attitude has been exceedingly careful.

for which money has been paid out. I

Before the committee adjourned un-

to furnish it with all letters and docu-
ments it desired bearing on the loans.
There are forty steel cases of the doc
uments relating to loans in the Treas

FROM The Trfbune's Vashiugton gureou
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-Secretarv
OF the Treasury Houston told the Sem
ate Judiciary Committee to-day that he
would advise the committee before
making any further loans to foreign
countries, however urgent the demands
might be- Pressed by Senator Reed as
10 just what he meant by the word "ad-
wise, the Secretary indicated he would
notify it in good faith. This is taken
to mean that if the question of any
1urther advances becomes acute the
Secretary will inform the committee,
and give it the opportunity to consider
action before he orders payments to
De made. Secretary Houston made it
clear he was not anxious to paw out
more money to foreign nations.
Senators Reed and Hoke Smith. of
the committee, are making a strong eff
Tort to block any more payments to
1orelgn governments before March A..
Whlie 1T is impossible to say whether
the promise made by Secretary Hous-
ton to-day will practically have that
effect, there are some indications it
VIII do so. It. is recognized that any
action of the Judiciary Committee
itself in opposition to advances would
not be binding, though it might have a
strong persuasive and moral effect on
the Treasury head.
Hearing Is Continued
Cecretary Houston was before the
committee to-day to testify in regard
to foreign loans and present the docu-
ments in reference to these loans and
the commitments to different countries.
He did not have all the documents
wanted by the committee, and in view
OF TINS and because of his promise not
to make further advances until he ad-
Vlsed the committee, the hearing was
continued until next Monday, after
some testimony had been taken.
Besides the assurance given by Sec
wtary Houston that he would not make
more advances before advising the
committee the chief feature of the
days proceedings was the disclosure
that Part of the committee, particu-
lariy Senators Reed and Hoke Smith,
are taxing stand on the proposition
that this government had no power to
make commitments or establish credits
after the armistice and that where
such credits were established the
Treasury went beyond the law,
AT the outset of the hearing Senator
Reed read from the report OF the Sec
retary of the. Treasury showing the
statement of the balances Of the
credits of The different governments
These aggregate, according 10 that re-
port, about $124,000, 900.
Balance Now SIS, 900, 900
Secretary Houston explained that
while these credits existed as indicate i
IN the report, some of the purposes for
