RULES DRAFTED

Washington, Dec. 6.-The Central
American conference today receiv-

procedure, which the delegates ap-
proved yesterday, meeting as 4
general committee, and faced the
question Of including in the agenda
discussion of the proposal for a
union of Central American coun-
tries,

thing should take effect only after
January, 1925, so as to avoid any
legal embarrassments in the max
ing Of the amendment effective.
Making Primary Direct.
Another amendment which would
conform to the spirit Of the present
practice of electing presidents but
which would change its letter is
that providing for a direct vote for
the names of the candidates for
president and vice president in
stead of for the electors whose
names now appear on the ballot.
This does not mean that the candi-
date with the greatest number Of
votes would be elected. As has
often been suggested in the term
popular election" Of q president
and vice president. Under the pro-
posed amendment just reported by
the senate agricultural committee,
the people in each state would still
vote as they have done In the past
and the candidate who received a
majority or plurality in each state
would be entitled to the same num-
Der Of credits Is was arranged un-
der the electoral college system.
These credits would be certified,
however, direct to the house of rep
resentattves and president and vice
president whose names had receiv-
cd q majority OF credits would be
elected.
The danger Of the present indirect
system, It is claimed, Is the posi-
bility that the electors might
change their minds when casting
votes in an electoral college and
defeat the will Of the people, Civ
ing ground for serious information
nj disturbance, especially If the
election should be a close one.
Just why the amendments should
come out. Of agricultural commit
tees instead OF judiciary commit
tees may puzzle outsiders, but when
the measures were first introduced
they were looked upon as more or
less OF Z Joke and were referred in
. moment OF levfty to the agricul-
tural committee. where, however.
the "progressives" happen to he in
control, and they promptly seized
the opportunity to make . favor
able report on the amendments and
give momentum to the program

Curb Market
By WILLIAM G. HEFFERMAA.
(Copyzight 1889
BY WILLIAM HEFFERNAN.

Wall Street, New York, Dec. g.
Today's trading ON the curb ex-
change was extremely dull with
price changes generally confined to
harrow limits. There was nothing
in the overnight new to stimulate
public participation and the market
was left almost entirely in the
hands of professional operators and
floor traders.
Announcement that a special
meeting of stockholders of Cumber-
land Pipe Line-one of the Stand
ard Oil subsidiaries-had been call
ed for Dec. 81. to vote on ~increas-
ing its capital stock 100 per cent
after which a dividend of 100 per
cent in stock would be declared,
had no effect on the stock con-
cerned. But it did serve to check
what little selling there had been
in other Standard Oil stocks and in
a few instances higher levels were
reached.
Standard of Indiana was de-
pressed in the first half session and
so were the Kentucky shares. But
both these stocks more than made
up their early losses in the early
afternoon. New York Transit, SELL
ing ex-dividend $50 held firm at $135.
Vacuum Oil started over z points
higher but lost this gain later, be-
tween sales.
Independent oils displayed fair
resistance to the selling, Southern
States Oil advancing substantially.
Secretary Melons annual. report
helped to stimulate buying in the
Industrial section Of the list and
what losses occurred were more
than regained as the day went on.

FOOD FOR THE RUSSIANS

Washington, Jan. 3-Morc than
100000 bushels Of corn has been
bought by the purchasing com
mission for Russian relief and one
ship load of 24O,O00 bushels left New
Orleans December 81, the American
Farm Bureau Federation today said
it had been informed T., Don Livings-
ton, commissioner OF agriculture of
South Dakota. The corn has been
bought, it was said, for delivery on
shipboard at New Orleans, Baltimore
and New York.
The corn is being purchaser on
a free boardship" basis. it was
explained, to eliminate the neces-
sity of organizing large buying
organization and to expedite it's
mycme to Russia, where it is
needed within sixty days. 1t is be-
ing shipped unground, and will ar
rive in prime condition, it is said,
as long as the weather continues
cold. The Soviet authorities have
agreed to transport the corn from
the ports to the famine areas.

Any boy or girl can secure in South
Carolina as good a College education
as can be found in any other State
in the United States, and it stands to
reason, that the people Of South
Carolina should support the educa-
tional institutions Of their own State,
but in case of desire for post-grad-
uate work, it will be many years be-
fore this State will be in position to
offer anything along that line, and
it would be a waste of time and a
useless expenditure of money for any
College in this State to attempt post
graduate work at this time, because
none of the Colleges in this State
have libraries which could supply the
demands Of specialists and none Of
the Colleges have sufficient capital
with which to secure the services Of
experts in the field of science or lit
erature.

there are too many public roads in
South Carolina, and the money Of the
people is wasted to criminal extent
on account of these useless public
roads. What we need in South Caro-
lima is combination of all road
building effort, the elimination of all
useless public roads. and there should
be lodged somewhere in the State the
power to combine all the road build

and County Commissioners, which
shall have for it's purpose the elimina-
tion of all useless public highways,

taxes to the people Of South Carolina,
and at the same time the building of
better public highways.

Of the far-reaching Importance of

these great underlying considera-
tions has been practically simulta-
neous with distinct turn for the

ENGLISH PEAS.
Suggestions to Truckers and Market
Gardeners.

Clemson College, Dec. 27.-Many in
quiries received by the horticultural
division during the last few weeks in
regard to best varieties of English
peas, indicate that English peas are
going to be grown in some sections
of South Carolina extensively as a
truck crop, and by the market gar
dcners around the towns and cities of
the state.
In selecting varieties it is necessary
10 secure those that are early, pro-
ductive and hardy. While there are
many desirable early varieties, the
thre" varieties that have given most
general satisfaction are Thomas Lax
ton, Alaska and Philadelphia.
English peas for the early crop
should be planter during January or
early February. The land, after thor
ough preparation, is laid off in rows
3 feet wide, and an $40 fertilizer is
applied in the drill, 1000 to 1900
pounds per acre. 1t is best to apply
and mix it with the soil about one
week before the seed arc planted
When heavy applications Of fertilizer
are made and the seed dropped near
the fertilizer, there is danger Of the
seed being killed by the fermentation
of the fertilizer. This is especially
true if cottonsccd meal is used Two
bushels of English peas are usually
required to plant an acre.
Some growers plant in double rows
spaced 6 inches apart with 80 inches
between each set Of double rows of
This method seems to be gaining ia

tend to support and hold each other

isfactory, however, and is more easily
cultivated than the double row meth
cd. 1t requires about one-haIf bushcl
more peas per acre to plant the dou-
bic row system than it docs the single
row.
The seed should be planted in a
fllrrow at least 5 inches deep. They
will germinatc in cool weather and
make considerable root growth before
the plants appear above the surface
of the soil. If the tops of the plants
are killed by very severe freezes they
will sprout again, and the freezing off
OF the tops in no way Injuries the
yield. If the seed arc covered only 2
inches there is danger of severe injury
to the entire plant in case of severe
freezes. Cultivation should be shallow

CURING BEEF,

Clemson College, Dec. 27-The
Southern farmer is disposed to let
pork furnish the meat of his diet be-
cause of the relative scarcity of beef
cattle and because beef curing meth
ods are not we'll known, thinks l.. G.
Godbey, assistant professor of animal
husbandry, who says that while beef
does not offer any great advantage
over pork it gives variety and added
palatability to the diet.
Beef is from 95 to 90 per cent di-
gestlble and is one of the best and
cheapest sources of protein, the most
expensive essential in the human diet.
According to experiments in human
nutrition, l pound of rib roll, / pound
of chuck, flank or round steak, is
equivalent to approximately quarts
OF milk or one dozen eggs in protein
value. This comparison shows the rel
ative value of the cheaper cuts The
following is q simple and satisfactory
method Of curing beef.
Corned Beef,
Since corned beef is used for prac-
tically the same dishes as fresh beef
only wholesome, untainted meat
should be used for this purpose. Tho
cheaper cuts Of beef such as the plate,
flank, rump brsket and ribs, are
commonly used for corning.
Weigh the meat, cut off in pieces
about six ii:.:"hes Square; place a lay
er of salt on the bottom of the vessel
in which the meat is to be packed:
cover this with a layer of meat and
sprinkle layer of salt over the meat;
add alternate layers of meat and salt
until all the meat is packed. Seven to
nine pounds Of salt will usually be
enough for 100 pounds Of meat
Allow the meat to stand in salt
over night. The following morning
make a brine using pounds Of su-
gar, 1-2 ounces of baking soda and
3 ounces of saltpeter, for every 100
pounds of meat. Dissolve all the in
gredIents in gallons Of boiling water,
allow the brine to cool thoroughly be-
forc pouring 1T over the meat. If more
or less than 100 pounds of meat is to
be cured, use the proportions for the
brine. If four gallons of brine does
not cover 100 pounds of meat, water
may be added.
The meat should be weighted down
with a block on stone, sine any part
not covered by the brine will decom
pose very quickly If the brine shows
signs OF fcrmcnting in warm weather
1T should be drawn off boiled, strain
ed through a clean cloth and, after
it has thoroughly cooled, poured back
on the meat. The meat should be kept
in a cool, dark place, and at the end
OF thirty days it will be ready for
use. II the pieces are larger than six
inches square, longer time may be
allowed according to the size of the
pieces.
Beef cured by this method is prac-

IMPROVEMENT IN THE
BUSINESS WORLD
Opipion Expressed by Comptroller
General-A Reassuring Outlook
Optimistic Forecast for Poll
tical Status of Nations Also Made
Public.

Washington, Jan. 3.-Indications
that the turn of the year is being
"marked by a striking improvement
in the business and economic out
look" of the country and the world
generally were discussed tonight by
Comptroller of the Currency Girls
singer in forecast for 1922.
There can be no doubt, M. Girls
singer said, that "both the political
and economic index figures" are reg
istering improvement at this time,
"when political and economic con-
ditions so intimately interact"
"Taking this wider view," he
added, II feel that we may be JUS
titled in regarding the outlook as
altogether reassuring, and that the
new year is coming to us with
guarantees that justify the more
optimistic forecasts"
In the political domain, Mr.. Girls
singer described as predominating
favorable factors the limitation of
arms conference and "thc apparent
ly insured settlement of the age
long controversy involving the re-
lations of Ireland to the United
Kingdom" Already, he declared, a
bettermen in the conditions of in
tcrnational exchange has taken
place, adding that no better index
of widespread business conditions
exist.
"In view of these accomplish
ments," he continued, eve may an
ticipate confidently that the year
1922 will take it's place in history
as one of the landmarks in the
record of human progress. Men
have turned their faces definitely
in the right direction; they have
