-• ARE SUGGESTED Planting of More Leguminous Crops is One; Use of Good Seed is Another. Farm Calendar ‘ For January Also Prepared. Include in the list of Nov resolutions the following: ~ I will plant more legume crops for soil improvement and having planted them for that purpose, will turn them under. I will plant only well bred seed of approved varieties of all crops. I will use higher analysis fertilizer, aa the plant food costs leas in the more concentrated product than in low grade goods. I will conserve every particle' of soil possible by repairing old terraces, and constructing new ones where needed. I will devote the winter months to clearing up terraces, ditch banks, and other places where weeds grew last summer. I will remember that the great need of the soils of South Carolina is for more organic matter, and will endea vor in every way possible to meet this need. Poahry Select a good breeding pen early during this month. Get your incubator ready for an early hatch for broilers. Keep plenty of tender green feed for your chickens. Keep records during this year on your flock. Entomology Continue the active destruction of weevij winter-quarters by cleaning up ditch banks, terraces, fence rows, old orchards, etc. i^une the orchard before spraying, and thus stimulate the trees, save spraying material and get a more thorough spraying job. Spray for San Jose scale at any time this month, if not already done. Collect and burn branches of pecan, hickory or persimmons severed by the twifc girdler. Watch your seed corn, peas, etc., and fumigate promptly if weevils appear. Plant Diseases Check up losses from diseases last year and plan to prevent them next season. Year’s potatoes dext season, for safety and profit. Continue the pruning and “clean up” program, burning all old limbs and twigs. Horticulture It saves time, labor and spray materials if fruit trees are pruned be fore the winter spray is applied. The three most essential pruning tools for the orchard are a small hand shear, a long-handled pruner and a long, narrow saw. The cost of these tools is less than five dollars and they will last a number of years. In' pruning bearing apple trees rem ember that the fruit is* borne on the little crooked spurs that are found on wood two years old and older. Save these spurs if you wish a crop of fruit each year. Make up your mind that you will have a clean orchard this year. Write your county agent for infor mation as to the best spray pump to buy, where it can be secured, and what its cost will be. Dairying Plan the feed crops and permanent pastures for 1926. See that the milking herd gets water twice each day. Keep the cows out of the cold winds and rains. It takes extra feed to keep the cows warm when exposed to cold weather. It also reduces the milk flow. Start the new year right by keep ing daily milk records and feeding each cow in proportion to her pro duction and size. Breed as many cows thia month as possible in order to have them fresh en next fall. Animal Husbandry Give the live stock particular care and management, for this is slack time for fiald work ^ Study the feeds on hand and put the horses and mules through as cheaply as possible, but see to it that they do not lose weight. The sheep mus( have shelter while it rains, otherwise they will take cold AT CRIME, YOU CANT WIN. ET TU, MA FERGUSON. pinchots panacea: AMBIDEXTROUS? “Ma” Ferguson, lady governor of Texas, says evolution must be remov ed from Texas public school books. One book actually said that for men to speak of “men and animals is un warranted egotism, for man is an ani mal, just as truly as the beast of tile field.” Some beasts of the field would have something to say about that. Many of them don’t commit wholesale mur der and call it PATRIOTISM, don’t lock the half-developed children of other animals in factbries or mills and call it BUSINESS, or underpay their brothers to increase profits that they don’t need. - Professor Edward S. Morse, noted authority on geology, is dead, hot still useful: .Yesterday, his brain was sent by express to the Wistar Institute of Anatomy and Biology in Philadelphia. Professor Morse was “ambidextrous,” could use one hand as readily as the other. He had, in effect, two right hands. Scientists say an examination of the brain may explain that. One thing is certain. If your little boy is left-handed, don’t try to make him use his right hand. That stupid ity, which, centuries old, injures a child’s mind, is useless. Senators Edge, King and Bruce agree that the workings of prohibi tion are enough to make the Demon ; Rum laugh himself ^ick, that drunk enness is . rampant and our political life “menaced.” A girl, twelve years old, is found unconscious in tbe street. Explana tion: bootleg liquor. The police are investigating a dance given at a most respectable women’s club. Explanation: too many bottles of bootleg liquor found in thi place when the entertainment was over. Science might look in the dead man’s brain for things more interest ing than the secret of ambidextrous eccentricity. What is it that works in there while the brain is alive and suddenly vanjsh£& when the brain diea? In England the body of King Ed ward has been moved so that his corpse, now dead for a long time, may lie beside that of his Queen, Alexan dra, recently dead.*’ It ia sweet British sentiment, but it is like taking the shells of the eggs from which two chickens have es caped, and putting those shells piously side by side. With the eggs it is the chicken that counts. With the human body it is the soul. How close now are Edward’s and Alexandra’s souls? That’s the question. Pity the poor Duke of Northumber land. His income is $376,000. In come taxes and other taxes take $200,000. The British Government knows how to tax and how to collect taxes. High finance denounces Governor , Pinchot’s suggestion that the coal fields be declared “a public utility.” “A dangerous coal panacea,” say spokesmen for “Big Business.” Plenty of legume hay is all the feed I they will need. Grow your own cabbage plants for The breeding herd of beef cattle spring planting. Give the seed a bath in corrosive sublimate solution before sowing. Raise sweet potato plants at home to keep out diseases. Be sure to plant “certified” Irish should be fed on a cheap ration which will maintain their weight. The farmer who has plenty of green forages in January is to be commend ed. Provide a good warm bed, for this will save feed. - I Is the coal business NOT a public • necessity? Can people live without heat? Is it not the business of gov ernment to protect the public welfare, putting that ahead of *all other du- !ties? The real objection is not that Gov ernor Pinchot’s suggestion is “a dan gerous panacea,” but that it would Here, instead of making taxes big ger, thanks to President Coolidge and Secretary Mellon, billions are paid off on the war debt and taxes steadily reduced. HAPPY U. S. A.! War, which is wholesale crime, theft and highway robbery retail crime, does not pay. Edward F. Kellar, famous in crime ten years ago, recently let out of prison, went to work in a bank, stole $13,000, took it in a taxicab and was found dead. The doctor said frar killed him. Crime doesn’t pay, or an the striking anti-crime posters say, “YOU CAN’T WIN.” - Good New Orleans Syrup, 80c gallon. CARRYTERIA.
