We further congratulate Miss Burgess upon her winning the free trip to Washington. It is a well deserved honor and we sincerely hope that she will enjoy every benefit possible from it. The prize last year went to Berkley f'ounty, ami was no doubt due to the fact that Berkley and other coastul counties have for the past few years Ihmmi forced by the boll weevil to abandon cotton largely and torn to truck, tobacco, hogs arid poultry as a source of revenue The wisdom of this kind ./f f&rnr.ing IT r?g home and selling surplus??-m> i'U plainly seen by anyone traveling through that section. Kvvdencen of prosperity are everywhere Ionk th<- roads, and we understand tiiat there are many farmers who do not borrow a dollar from bunks to finance their crops. The Chronicle along with many of nor citizen* believes that Kerahaw County m fast coming to this hnppy condition, and will lend its forcea as fur as possible toward that good end. Kershaw Kami Women Win Farm women of Kershaw win no slight honor in bringing back from Winthrop college the silver loving eup annually awarded to that county council which is adjudged to have done during the year the best work. Lust year the eup was tuken by lb-1 k ley. These ('nun ty councils of farm w mien cany on an amazing program of public service in the rtetds of education, health, agriculture, citizenship, legislation and religion, and maintain more than a score of scholarships in the colleges for promising young men and young women from the farms. Or. James P. Kinard, dean of Winthrop college, in addressing the conference, spoke with admiration of the typical stories of income-yielding activities by farm women printed recently in The State under the general heading, "Money 'On the Side' for Women." Kershaw, as a neighbor-county, The State heartily congratulates. Already the programs laid out make certain that the generous competition for the cup next year will be urdent. ?Columbia State.

SHEORN & SON ^ - Carrison Wheat Farm Vint ted Uy OeorgianH The Mac oil Telegraph of Wednesday, J urn* 13th, carried hi: internet mg article relative to wheat being grown by Mr. I). J. Carriaon, fonuei' ly of this city, on a farm near Macon. |The Telegraph also comments editor I tally al Ici'igth on thia I Tup aiiOWiftg ; how unproved farui machinery will j produce results, and also trying to , g.-t Georgia farmers away from the leotton itleu. The Telegraph's description ut this farm is a follows: "The transformation of a barren waste <>f '150 acres on the 1). J. Cur nson farm, at Bolingbroke, into prof its in wheat, was witnessed by more than 700 farmers, landowners and business men yesterday ns the farm was turned into a demonstration center of modern farming methods. "So thoroughly systematized, is the work on tin- farm that fields that were harvested in wheat last Friday will Ik- planted in soy beans today. An example of how Mr. Carrison works his farm may be seen in hij present use of his tractor during the I harvesting time. "He has equipped his tractor with jx>werful head lights and operates them 22 hours dally. "What I have done here," suid Mr. Carrison before the throng gathered to see his farm, "is nothing tnat cannot he done by others. It represents the intelligent use of machinery and a superabundance of hard work. "My whole training has been along the lines of machinery, not of farm machinery, however, and I have had to learn as I went. The co-operation of the power machine companies has made possible the transformation ( you see here. j "There is one thing I wish to emphasize: We cannot expect to develop largely in agriculture until we I have good roads. We need the roads I to haul our fertilizer on and we need I the roads to get our crops to market." I "in the two fields that have been ( harvested already the yield has been 28 bushels per acre. Mr. Carrison exfvecls to get an average of 26 bush-' els. lie is harvesting at the rate ' of 25 acres a day with combine har- j voster which cuts, threshes and de- t livers the grain to sacks, while it ' j leaves the #>tr?iw on the other side. ! The grain which has already been ! harvested has been delivered at the 'mill and $1.75 a bushel has been re-_ i ceived for it. ! "The point was raised as to the wastage in harvesting with the com ' bine but Mr. Carrison gave government figures to the effect that the wastage with the machine was 20 pounds to the acre as compared to 10 pounds by the old methods with its many handling. "From all parts of the state visitors gathered. They arrived early in the morning and watched the demonstration at that time and followed later in the day to other fields where sub soil plowing was in progress and where disc plows^vere in operation each pulled by tractors. I As the people gathered for lunch'eon. D. F. Bruce, county agent, spoke of the methods represented at the demonstration. "We hi pe it will be the coming or a new day in the Piedmont section." said Mr. Bruce, " when we realize the possibilities shown here at this ( demonstration. It should mean the raising of more grain, more wheat, more rye and more oats and this should be followed automatically by < more dairying and more cattle. "Don't try to set tire to Georgia, but go slow and figure on cost and;' work out your own situation." ( "Barl>eoue was served under tnO| trees where places had been set for j moie than 700. The luncheon was | given by the machine companies which had demonstrations in prog-[ ress, Yancey Brothers. McCormick-' Dccring and?A~.?h?Case?Trn*?bai'becue was served by the members of the home demonstration council ot j Bibb county. "Mr. Carrison has two kinds f wheat plantisl. Red Heart and B1 le i I Stem. So far his harvest has be-n I of the Red Heart variety which ne j , obtained from Coker's Pedigreed! Seed farm and has shown 28 bus nets j to the acre. He expects to compare: the two when he has harvested both, j | Next year, he will plant seed from his own harvest and the following i year he will get a pedigreed seed again, he said. This he will do so ! as mot to permit the grain stock to ' deteriorate." ! IN THE CAROLINAS ? Items Of Interest Gleaned From The Papers of Two States Governor Richards has written to Senator Dale, chairman of the civil service investigation, asking that 'South Carolina be given the number j of government appointments it is scheduled by the law. The state is | emitied to 55n appointments and has : only 259. The shutting down of a majority of the textile mills around Greenville I from June 29 to July 9, will throw , li,000 employes out of employment! I for ten days i Mrs. Alonzo Foreman was acquitted at Beaufort of putting strychnine [tablets in her husband's coffer by a jury composed <yf farmers, fishermen, boatmen and merchants. A. D. Willis, South Carolina state manager of the Standard Oil company died at his home in Charleston Saturday after an appendix operation. He had a wide acquaintance over the state. Mrs. Walter G. Cure ton swore out a warrant against her husband before a Fort I>awn magistrate charging him with assault with intent to kill. The man was arrested and his bond fixed at $500, hut he went to ..ail. and neither hfc nor h;> wife would tell the details of their scrap. S. P. Wright, who died at Bennettsville after a long period of had health, ' uged 81 years, was one of the oldest citizens of .Marlboro county and one of its largest planters who owned many large plantations. His wife I died a year and a half ago. and he j leaves one brother and mx children. ' v. '* ? t ill t ! 1 31 ? *T- ?.? - dLk j!The Truth About TheJ Eayit (From Our Dumb Animals) The whoae likeness is our I national emblem depicting indepeu* dence u;id sovereignty, is a muchmaligned bird. About *JH per cent ui fiction and aiicgeu fa?.t ?v l itUjli about the bird is without serious 'study or authority. It i-> the exception rather than the iule that the inaj jestic k.ng of the an preys upon : chickens, hogs, lambs or other small I farm animals. Kiln*led as it is, the eagie is the subject of murderous at, tai ks which .1 re destroying the 1 I , Hpecietf. I It is sir.kingly evident, from u' study of the eugle and reports from various parts of the country, that this bird doe - riot bother inun or his pos' sessions where man has not killed the eagle's means of living. In places I where guns, wholesale rabbit drives, traps and poisons are used to destroy rabbits, birds and rodents, the eagle is forced by necessity to kill an occasional chicken, turkey or perhaps a lamb. However, where this balance of nature has not been disturbed it is rare that reports are made of this great bird killing fowls and small animals. More often this work is done by the giant hawk. The hawk stays close to civilization while the eagle, perhaps disgusted with what we choose to call civilization, stays as far away from man as possible, especially in the choice of a home. The eagle is wise and he long ago learned of the vandalism characteristic of a regretfully large number of supposedly civilized people. The writer has made a study of the habits of eagles, having good opportunity in the Panhandle of Texas where some 200 white headed American eagles (Haliaetus Leucocephalus) spend the winter in the beautiful Palo ! Duro canyon and where the golden eagle i.Aquila Chrysaetos) abounds the year round. Over a period of , ten years we have had reports of about fifty fowls, a half dozen lambs and two p.gs being killed by the i more than 200 eagles in this limited t section. Examinations of the eyries' j >t many of these birds disclosed f virtually no remains of farm fowls 1 >r animals. Bones of prairie dogs, j 1 rabbits, ground squirrels and wild * birds are found in abundance in the ^ c-jre of the nests. : 1 Dr. Francis Hobart Herrick, pro- * lessor of biology, Western Reserve University, who has made a scientific 1 study of the daily habits of the eagle < and whose recent book, "The Ameri-i* can Eagle at Vermilion, Ohio," the first study of its kind, says in con- 1 nection with the charges of van-' da I ism made against the eagle: "Many'1 farmers naturalk resent the loss of \ their chickens, but a pair of thasa r birds range in the course of the sea-!1 sou and the relatively small number Jx of domestic fowl destroyed, it is; t evident that individual losses are i bound to be small. At certain times . and places the American eagle accounts for large numbers of waterfowl or more or less destructive mammals, as rat-, ^uuirrels. rabbits, .?< coons, skunk- .md opossum." In the less ,n.nly populated sections the eagle's pi ;.sence is unnoticed in so far as deprt lations are concerned, Harding's raruh on the Palo Duro Canyon in the Texas Panhandle is a j haven for eagles. The owner of the ' place has refused anyone the privil- j ege of hunting on his 10,000-acre | ranch and canyon gaine preserve for the past sixteen years. As a result the eagles in increasing numbers have come to his ranch in October and November of each year to remain until early the following spring, usually leaving before April 1. The golden eagles live in the canyon all year. He has huridreds of calves born on the ranch each year and they have never been bothered. Neither have the dee-r- on the ranch. Mr. Henry Harding, owner, is in sympathy with a movement to make I the killing of an eagle punishable i bv a heavy fine and imprisonment. | His Eagle s Paradise is impressive testimony to the manner in which wild life will respond to kind treatment and protection. He joins others in declaring, that the eagle, which since June 20, 1782, has been the adopted emblem of the United States, is a much libeled bird, due in the main to man's ignorance of this master of the skies. The pardon h> Governor Richards of Rev. John N.

The world bus known times when physical force dominated both man and be??t. Those days are gone. Now everything is ruled by thoughts in the minds of men. The Barnwell People-Sentinel philosophises and continues with some details: And this Age of Intellect is having unexpected results, The old-time prize-lighter, and many other oldtime exponents Of various sports, had only strength. The prize-fighter with the largest biceps, longest reach, steadiest legs and the best punch was the idol of the populace. Now a prize fighter is expected to have some business sagacity, and a good scientific knowledge of the fistic game. In addition, we have come to expect our prize-fighters t6 know a little, even more than a little, about things which belong in the realm of art. Witness the coming to this country of Italy's champion, Umberto Torriani. Not half as much fuss is being made about Umberto's muscles as is being made about his classical education. Umberto is proud of being a deep student of Shakespeare, Homer, and the entire range of classic literature. Our own Gene Tunney?whom Umberto would like to meet both in the ring and as an opponent in an intelligence test?knows not only the art of the uppercut but has been a good reader all of his life and only a few weeks ago addressed an audience of college students on the subject of Shakespeare. And he made some pretty wise remarks about the Bard of Avon, too. In all sport, and in many other lines of activity, the participants today have more in their craniums than a :ynic would expect.
