The patient responded rapidly and was bale to continue working while taking treatment for this con dition. One by one the symptoms disappeared and complete recovery was reported in a few weeks.

It was found growing all the way from the lower St. Lawrence valley to our north to the southern tip of South America when white men came to this hemisphere. Somewhere, through the course of time, it adapted itself to the widest variations of soil and clim ate, and there are over 2,000 types of it known to man. It is from out of this vast array of types and adaptions that modern breeders are attempting to bring forth super corns. And in very recent years breeding and crossbreeding has been started by our scientists in co operation with Central and South American countries. States in our area have been awakening to the importance of of com since diversification start ed here in earnest. Out of experi- rtient and experience we here in South Carolina dveloped our 5- Point -Clemson- Plan for increasing corn yields economically. And since the value of thoser points has been demonstrated by the county agents on farms in every couny, they have spread to most of the farms. The result is that our average corn yield'in the state has almost doubl ed. And we are not through yet. What meaning this has in terms of livestock, dairy, and poultry de velopment! — Your county agent has a pamph let covering the 5-Point Clemson Plan for growing com that’s free for the asking. iHttiir muUh~xsf9w tr^ So far as we have been able to find out, J.

No nausea, no Ion* periods of nervousness. This is the quick, effective, safe method. Our dinic- .illy-proven method was developed in treating more than 7300 men and women.

D creek, where, he stayed with his grandparents. At the edge of their garden was a patch of alders on which the tags grew longer than' anywhere else. We were simply ravenous for them. And when he brought a bunch of them there was much lively trading. We had to trade him something else, for our shorter ones held no charm for him. We would have to part with a coveted tobacco tag, In dian arrow-head, piece of strong string, slingshot prongs, iron wash er or the like that all boys carried in their pockets. This went on with ‘‘hags” until the first wild violets broke through j the sod to tell us that spring was on | its way. And from here on th“ going was good.

Mrs. Louise Jones DuBose, director of the press, has announced. The collection covers a period from World War I to the present day, and ranges in type from nature stories to supernatural stories. Mrs. Peterkin was born October 31, 1880. in Laurens county. She received both her B. A. and M. A. degree from Converse college in Spartanburg, and in 1927, after the publication of her second book, the college awarded her an honor ary degree of Doctor of Literature. She married William George Pet erkin in 1903 and became mistress of Lang Syrte plantation near Fort Motte, in Calhoun county. Mrs. Peterkin’s novel “Scarlet Sifter Mary,” the Pulitzer Prize novel' of 1928, was later dramatized and produced in New York, with Ethel Barrymore playing the part of Sister Mary. “Black April” was published in 1921, and “Bright Skin in 1932. A collection of her short stories has been published, and those stories have appeared in the American Mercury, American Magazine, Century Mgaazine, Sat urday Evening Post, . and Good Housekeeping Magazine. The story by Miss Peterkin in “South Carolina in the Short Story,” is called ‘‘Ashes.” FINAL SETTLEMENT Take notice that on the 29th day of April, 1952, I will render a fiaal account of my acts and doings as Administrator of the estate of Fan nie Y. Blalock in the office of llae Judge of Probate of Laurens County, at 10 o’clock a.m., and on the same day will apply for a final discharge from my trust as Administrator.

Rows were 30 inches apart and it averaged 600 stalks per 100 feet of row. Cultiva tion was normal. And it received two early poisonings with molasses mixture and three dustings with BBC. Now, folks, briefly, that’s the story. The cotton at 42 cents a pound and the seed at $64 a ton, made the gross income from the five acres $3,519.60. ' Dr. H. J. Webb, analytical chem ist here at Clemson, tells me that a case or two has come to his at tention of late where copper in drinking water has been toxic to farm folks. In these cases copper tubing for water was used in the house. • • , He states that most of our well water carries a lot of carbon dioxide in it. Untreated, this tends to cor rode pipes. In the case of iron pipes, no bad effects are suffered from drinking it, as such iron is not un- healthful. But it so happens that it is different in the case of copper. The copper compound thus formed is toxic to persons, if gotten in suf ficient amounts. The most danger seems to be from drinking water when one gets up in the morning from the first drawn from the spigot or making coffee with it where the house is piped with copper. For then the corrosion has been concentrated during the night. Discarding the first few glasses of water drawn in the morning from copper pipes should remedy most of this, I un derstand. Notice, this applies to home wat er supplies principally. Cities and towns usually treat their water in such ways as to avoid this chance.

Whitewater Fall® •More and more folks are going to see one of the scenic wonders of this part of the country up in Oconee county right on the North Carolina border. It is there that old Whitewater comes rushing across the state line in its mad flow, washing down a 500 foot escarp ment of granite walls and clinging verdure. A passable road had been cleared back in there last summer when I saw it And I was told that both states were working Together to open this scenic area up to safe travel. Boys Are Thai Way In all seasons we sought such wild flowers as the woods afforded. Winter was the tight time. It af forded little. The principal thing was tags from the alder bushes that grew along along the streams. Those catkins started growing in the fall. And by the s time winter had laid everything else low, they ware dangling there above every brook, and growing right along. We would risk geting our feet wet, and often* did, to get buch- es of those twigs with the dangling worm-like cakins on them. We liked to carry them to school and swap them with the other kids.
