"Now therefore, 1 Warren G. Hard

have enjoyed and to petition that
these may be continued in the year

Southern Farmers Find Trac'
tors Profitable.

Although tractors have been used
more generally in some other parts
of the country, canvass by the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
clearly indicates that they can be
used proftably on many Southern
farms. Eighty-six per cent of the
owners interviewed believed that
their tractors were proving profit
able. Ninety-six per cent Of these
men declared that they intended to
Iuse them the following season, as
did also SO per cent of those who did
not believe they were profitable.
The canvass, which was made in
the spring of 1921, included 6S4 trac-
tor owners in Alabama, Georgia,
North and South Carolina, and Ten
nessee, all Of whom had bought their
tractors new between March 1918,
and September 1920.
A noticeable feature concerning
the farms reporting is their large size
as compared with other farms in the
same state, more than 80 per cent of
them being larger than the average
for that section. The average size of
the 6S4 farms is 200 acres, while
the 1920 census gives the average
size of all farms in these states as
about seventy-fve acres. AS would
be expected corn and cotton are the
principal crops.
The saving of time and labor made
possible by the use of the tractor was
given by nearly half the owners as
their answer to the question of what
they considered its greatest advan-
tage. Other replies were better work,
relieving the horses of hard labor, re-
duction of expenses, and the belt
work possible-Farm and Ranch.

Census Complies Reports on
Jails.

Washington, Nov 4.-The depart
ment of commerce announces that ac-
cording to returns received by the
bureau of the census, the number of
persons confined in prisons, jails,
chain or road gangs and police sta
tions in the state of South Carolina
on July 1, 1922 was 2,7O4, of which
number 500 were reported for the
state penitentiary, 479 for SO county
jails, 1927 for AZ chain or road
gangs. and 189 for II cities. The to-
tai for July 1, 1917, does not include
chain or road gangs, concerning
which no data were secured for 1917.
The comparable totals for the two
years are, therefore,: 1922, LIT;
1917, S15. These figures include per-
sons awaiting hearing or trial and
those held as witnesses, as we'll as
prisoners serving sentence.
The returns were obtained in re-
Spouse to a circular Of inquiry, which
the bureau of the census mailed to
the various institutions, as prelim-
mary to the complete decennial CEN
sus of prisoners, which will be taken
next year.

Dasheen, a New Vegetable,
Increases in Popularity.

The ldasheen, introduced into the
South a few years ago from the trops
les, is gradually increasing in popu-
larity, and the annual shipments to
Northern markets are now about ten
carloads. It is estimated that be-
tween 1000 and 5000 farmers and
gardeners, mostly in Florida, grow
this new potato-like vegetable. The
total acreage is not yet very large,
but the yield per acre is large and al
ready many people in the North have
become acquainted with the food.
The dasheen becomes available on
the market toward the end of No
vember along with turkeys, other
poultry, and cranberries. Soon after
it began to be used in this country
it was found to have a favor sugges-
tive of chestnuts which makes desir-
able as dressing for turkey and 9TH
er fowl.
The United States Department of
Agriculture has been carrying on
experiments in the growing of dash
eens and has prepared them in many
different ways. The department does
not expect the tuber to take the place
of the potato except perhaps where
it is obtainable at lower cost, but it
is wholesome and nutritious vege-
table that grows exceptionally well
in certain localities. For this reason
the department believes it is well
worth developing. The new vegetable
diett will furnish pleasing variety to
the diet. ~
Although the composition of the
dasheen is much the same as that of
the white potato, it contains high
er percentage of protein and carbo-
hydrates. Recipes may be had by
writing to the Department of Agri-
culture, Washington, D. C. -

President Issues His Annual
Proclamation.

Washington, Nov. 4.--Declaring
that the estate of the nation 'spre-
sents very much to justify nation
wide and most sincere testimony of
gratitude for the bounty which has
been bestowed upon u.s." President
Harding, in the annual Thanksgiving
proclamation calls upon the Ameri-
can people to observe Thursday, No
vember 80, "as day of thanksgiv-
ing, supplicatioa and devotion"
The test of the proclamation fol-
lows:
"By the president of the. United
States Of America:
GA proclamation:
"In the beginning of our country
the custom was established by the de-
vout fathers of observing annually
day of thanksgiving for the boun-
ties and protection which Divine
Providence had extended throughout
: the year 1t has come to be perhaps
the most characteristic Of our nation
al observance, and as the season ap-
proaches for it's annual recurrence, it
is fitting formally to direct attention
to this ancient institution of our peo-
pie and to call upon them again to
unite in appropriate celebration.
"The year which now approaches
it's end has been marked, in the ex-
perience of our nation, but a complex
ity of trials and triumphs, Of difficult
ties and of achievements, which we
must regard as our inevitable por-
tion in such an epoch as that through
which all mankind is moving. AS we
survey the experience Of the passing
12 months, we shall find that our es-
tate presents very much to justify a
nationwide and most sincere testi-
mony of gratitude for the bounty
which has been bestowed upon US.
Though we have lived in the shadow
of the hard consequences of great
conflict our country has been at peace
and has been able to contribute to-
ward the maintenance and perpet-
uation of peace in the world. We
have seen the race of mankind make
gratifying progress on the way to
permanent peace, toward order and
restored confidence in its high dis
tiny.
"For the divine guidance which has
enabled us, in growing fraternity
with other peoples, to attain so much
of progress; for the bounteous yield
which has come to US from the re-
sources of our soil and our industry,
we owe our tribute Of gratitude, and
with it our acknowledgement of the
duty and obligation to our people and
to the unfortunate, the suffering, the
distracted of other lands Let us, in
all humanity, acknowledge how great
is our debt to the Providence which
has generously dealt with us, and
give devout assurance of unselfsh
purpose to play a helpful and en-
nobling part in human advancement.
