PC Graduate Is
Planning Eighth
Jungle Expedition
Emmet R Rtake, curator of
bruts, Chicago Natural History Mu
seum, is planmng to explore .new
trpoical 'regions this spring, sum
mer and early fall An expedi
tion to Peru will be his eighth ma
jor ^zoological expedition in the
Western Hemisphere, in addition to
private efforts, which include^ parts
of northern Africa and southern Eu
rope '
The new field project will be the
Conover Expedition to areas of Pe
ru virtually unpenetrated by zoolo
gists In May Blake will fly to Cuzco
to make preparations for the jungle
penetration to seek a general col
lection of the fauna of the. region,
pnncpially birds.
Blake’s best known book, "Birds
of Mexico," has become recognized
as the authoritative work on that
subject
Blake, reared in Greenwood, is j
a 1928 graduate of Presbytenan;
College, where the young student
focused his interest, later continuing
his studies in bird life at the Uni
versity of Pittsburgh and Carnegie |
Museum His chief work in recent 1
years has been through his connec-1
tion with the Chicago institution.
In Peru, with a principal assistant
who has had a museum-collecting
background, Blake will set out from
Cuzco for the low lands Vast of Ma-
dre Dios where the only, means of
travel are foottrail and canoe. A
party of native boatmen, hunters
and porters will be organized before
proceeding into the Amazon drain
age cegiion east of the Andes and
into practically uninhabited rain for
ests along the Rio de Madre de
Dios.
The expedition will be financed by
the Conover tramebird Fund, estab
lished by the late Boardman Con
over. w ho was both a trustee of the
Chicago Museum of Natural His
tory and research associate in the
division of birds
The South Carolina naturalist has
written many articles and leaflets,
as well as staff and editorial con
tributions to standard books on

ALL THIS WEEK
YOU CAN MAKE A TERRIFIC DEAL
on the biggest seller
of the
cars!
is the BIG value
with the
BIG style change!
Sooner or later. Congress is
going to have to face the issues
created by the widespread use of
trading stamps.
• • •
It’s a ticklish problem, too.
When trading stamps first sprang
Into prominence in the postwar
period, many an independent
merchant
found they
helped stimn-
late his busi-j
ness, especially
in competition!
with the chains.
• • •
But as morel
and more trad-|
ing stamp pro
moters set upl
shop, more and C. W. Harder
more merchants have felt forced
to take on stamps for self-protec
tion, either absorbing costs out of
profits, or adding to prices.
• • *
Thus, there has developed a
system whereby the advantage
anyone had from the nse of trad
ing stamps is largely negated
by everybody offering stamps.
• a •
Due to lack of clarification of
many legal aspects of matter.
Federal Trade Commission more
or less backed out of hassle.
• * •
The latest body to take a seem
ingly confused position on this
issue was the Supreme Court of
the State of Oklahoma. This state
has what is called an Unfair
Sales Act which requires a mini
mum markup of 6% above the
cost to the retailer including not
only the invoice cost, bnt also
subsidiary items such as freight,
taxes, and other Items.
- o * o'
Safeway decided to meet stamp
giving competition by cutting
prices below legal minimum on
grounds giving away stamps is
form of price cutting.
• oo
The big chain lost the case in
a lower court, and recently lost
an appeal to the Supreme Court
Nitinn*! V * ' r of Tndfpfnd o nt Busin***
By C. WILSON HARDER
of the State. At the aame time,
the-court passed on another
stamp matter, and upheld n low
er court decision prohibiting any
merchant from giving away doa
ble stamps on certain days,
see.
But the decision of the court
seemingly was a most peculiar
one stating. "We conclude the
weight of the law distinctly shows
that the practice of giving away
stamps in the usual customary
manner does not sustain a charge
of price cutting.” The opinion fur
ther stated that stamps amount
to a cash discount rather than a
price reduction.
ooo '
Bearing in mind that the same
court also prohibited anybody
from giving away a double
amount of stamps on certain
days, the decision appears most
ambiguous. To the average lay
men, the difference between »
“cash discount” and n ‘’price re
duction” is like Tweedledeedee
is to Tweedledeedum.
ooo
Thus, it would appear that
there is needed from Congress a
law defining just what the use of
trading stamps amounts to in ac
tual practice.
ooo
For example, the question is
still up in the air as to whether
or not trading stamps are a form
of currency, which would thus
make them illegal.
• f •
Probably one of the biggest In
terests in this issue is held by
the American farmer. Obviously,
cost of stamps given on many
food products either eventually
is made up for in form of lower
prices to farmers, or in higher
prices to consumers, thus cutting
down farm product consumption.
• • *
There is even some thought,
therefore, being given, to make
it illegal to give away stampa
on any product containing farm
products that are being price
supported by federal funds col
lected from taxpayers. This could
have a far reaching affect.

Presbyterian College cagers head
into the Little Four Tournament
0is- w eekend at Anderson with an
impressive record of 15 wins and 7
losses. ^
It’s one of the most successful
mdtks established by PC cagers,
and the Hosemen hope to keep the
triumphs rolling in the post-season
meet at Anderson The Blue Hose
closed out regular season play on
Monday night with a 65-63 upset
over strong Belmont Abbey. Coach
Courts Bedford went off the floor
that night on the shoulders of fans,
a fitting tribute to his brilliant debut
with an unheralded squad. ,

277 points and have 14 and 13.3 out
puts, respectively.
Center Clayton Adams is just off
the double figures with 201 points
and a 9. average.
In the field goal shooting depart
ment, the Hosemen have collected
660 baskets in 1360 attempts for dn
uncanny 48.5 percentage. And Pres
byterian has scorched the cords for
better than ,60 per cent from the
floor twice this season.
Most notable wins for PC hav<
been knocking Mercer from the un
beaten ranks, defeating Formal
and Belmont Abbey, and annexing
key Little Four contests from Ers
kine (twice) and Wofford and New
berry (once each).
The tournament will be playec

Notes
By J- B. O'DELL
J. W. Tinsley of the Trinity Ridge
community, likes fescue and ladino
clover for winter grazing for beef
cattle. He has carried 32 head on
50 acres of fescue from October to
the present time with very little ad
ditional feed, except hay during the
recent snow and freezing weather.
1 Mr. Tinsley said that fescue
should not be grazed during July,
August and September to allow it
to store up growth for winter graz
ing. “Annual grazing of small grain
mixture has been almost a complete
failure this winter due to cold wea
ther. Fescue is much cheaper, more
certain and more soil conserving
than annual grazing crops,” said
Mr. Tinsley.
H i s grazing program consists
mainly of coastal bermuda, native
bermuda, fescue and Iddino clover.
Last week he applied limestone at
the rate of one ton per acre on ap
proximately 75 acres of pasture,
which’ received an application of
500 pounds per acre of an 8-8-8 fer
tilizer last fall. He stated, “I get
better results from my fertilizer
when I use lime every four or five
years to keep the soil condition
rgiht.”
“Due to the |ow price of grain, I
am planning to go heavier to fescue
and coastal bermuda grass. This
sort of program will allow me to ro
tate some cultivated crops with
grass. I believe this will mean bet
ter crops and better pastures, witl\
less loss of soil from erosion,” he
commented.
* * *
C. W'. Anderson of Clinton, a co-
operator with the Laurens Soil Con
servation District, has requested
assistance in the deigning of two
stock watering ponds on his beef
cattle farm on Duncan’s Creek, 4
miles north of Clinton. Mr. Ander
son plans to have a body of water
approximately one acre in size in
each pond, to be used primarily for
watering livestock. However, the
pond will be stocked with bream
and bass at the rate of 1,000 bream
and 100 bass per surface acre. When
the ponds are constructed, there will
be a total of five such ponds on the
750 acre cattle farm. Bob Wrenn,
farm manager, said the cattle had
to go more than a mile last summer
which cut down on the gain in
weight. “We will need at least two
more ponds after these are built,”
he said. They plan to use ASC cost-
s-haring payments to help defray the
cost of the dams.
* * *
John Earle Smith, of Kinards, is
planning to try some of the new NK-
37 Bermuda grass seed this spring.
Claims are that it is comparable in
growth to coastal and other hybrid
bermudas. Because you can plant
the seed, quicker and better stands
can be gotten. This grass is new.
