bkthl'ne news. The following items were intended 1 for la~t week's issue but did %not I reach U3 in time: The market and grocery atore of Mr. M. C. Johnson here has been ; bought out by Messrs. B. F. Bolton j and M. M. Baker, who will conduct [ the business at the same Btand. : Tho-e gentlemen will also hava { charge of the drayage business here, j M:. Jobffson will have charge of the ) new c:'ive-in filling station now be- i ing c:ccted on Main street. The oyster and hot supper given at the town hall Friday night by tha j Schcsl Improvement Association waa I a great success, quite a handsom.; I sum being realized. A petition has been circulated in ; t; vicinity for several days past, aakir.~ ;ho voters of this school dis trict und those Adjoining to vote n 3-mill tax for the purpose of erecting ; another school building here to be 1 u. ed as a high school. Since the consolidation of Bethune, Timrod ani Shamrock districts, the school build ing here is totally inadequate to ae- 1 comodate the increased attendance, | hence another building is an absolute i necessity. The petition is being most liberally signed. Mr. John C. Steen, who resided on I the Northeast side of this town, was ? thrown from a Ford car driven by j Ci.arles Blackwell, a young white man of this section, on last Monday | afternoon about two miles east of Camden. One of the front wheels of! the car either got loose or crushed j down causing the car to skid. Mr. Steen, according to Blackwell, either j jumped or was thrown out, landing I on his head, causing concussion of th" . brain. lie was taken to the Camden I hosp.tal, where he remained uncor.- ! rcious till Tuesday moru'ng, when 1 he died. The remains were brought I here and the interment was held at the Brannon graveyard on Wednesday j afternoon. Mr. Steen was a hard- | working man and is survived by his I \ wo -nd five children, who are leff. ir. a rather helpless condition. Misses Eloise Goodson and Josic j Blackmon, of Darlington, spent the | past week end with Mri. L. O. John ton. -Ir. Lester King left this morning for Camden where he has accepted c position. LM{U? Juniojr Cassady celebrated his ninth birthday last Thursday af ternoon by giving quite a number of his little friends a birthday party. The little folks enjoyed the occasion immensely, playing games, etc. Rc ? freshments, consisting of cake, am brosia, etc., were served. ? It is reported that two prominent widowers of this vicinity went away last week to get married. As to whether the knots were actually tied we are unable to state positively. Miss Bessie Hilton, of the Timrod section, and Mr. Sinclair Cassady, of the McBee section* were married at Camden last Saturday morning. SOUTHERN WILL INSTALL SIG NALS AND TELEPHONE. Atlanta, Ga., February 25. ? To in crease the capacity of ii3 Atlanta Birmingham line to provide for grow ing traffic, the Southern Railway System will immediately install the automatic electric block signal sys tem over this entire line and also will fconstruct two telephone circuits so as to substitute the telephone for the telegraph for dispatch trains be twoen Atlanta and Biruingham. The signal Bystem will consist of 202 masts, carrying signals of the new color-light type, located at inter vals of 1 1-2 miles. The signals will be operated by alternating curront of 4,400 volts, furnished by sub-stations at Atlanta, Birmingham, and Oxanna Junction and carried over a special transmission line tb be erected on the rlht of way. The current alio will bo used for lighting tftations. The signals will protect trains a gainst the possibility of collisions and will also warn engineers of a broken rail, an open switch, or nny other break in the line ahead of them. The telephone is quicker and safer than the telegraph for u e in dispatching trains and is being adopted by the Southern on its lines of heaviest traf fic. During 1923, the Southern extend ed two passing tracks and construct ed three new ones at "pinch" points, this being part of the prqgram for Increasing tho capacity of the At lanta-Birmingham line.

Leaf curl and blown rot of peachcB must be f-ught now while the trees are still dormant, says Dr. W. D. Moore, intension Plant Pathologist, by /sjraying with boiled lime-sulphur 1 to 9 strength, either home-made or commercial. These diseases, causing hundreds of thousands of dollars loss to poach growers annually, can be 1. jpt under good control by thorough spraying at the proper time. Wet weather in the early season lniit fall seems to have done consider able damage to cotton seed, especial ly in the lower part of the state, and til sellers and buyers of such seed are advised to test them for germin ation before planting. Any farmer cm make a simple germination tesv by following instructions which may hv3 had from county agents or from the Extension Service, Clemson Col lege. Tests made last season by the Ag ronomy Division showed clearly that the rate of application of nitrate of toad has much to do with cotton yield.-, according to Prof. C. P. Black well; Agronomist. These tests show ed that ihe yield of seed cotton in creased in proportion to the amount of nitrate of soda used in the tests, from noth ng up to 250 pounds on plots which had been fertilized at planting with GOO pounds of an 8-5-2 fertilizer. ? Farmers who v<iuld have good pastures should be preparing now for sowing pa-ture grasses such as car pet grass, Dallis grass and lespedeza, by clearing olT all the low-growinc bushes, vines, etc.There is no pasture grass nor legume that will grow well ,>nd furnish much grazing in compet f ion with low-growing bushes or rank-growing native grasses, such as broomsedge or Johnson grass. To those wh would have success in raising baby cli cks, D. H. Hall, Extension Poultry Specialist, say. (hat the coops or the house when the baby chicks shep must be kept clean, dry and sanitary, free from lice and mites, a :1 protected from cats and other n >cturnal prowlers which prey upon chickens. There is yet time, says Prof. A. F Conradi, Entomologist, for these or chardists who have not already don; so to spray fruit trees against Sar Jose scale. The' two sprays most ef fective for this purpose are lime-sul 1 plnir spray and oil emulsion. Count} agonts will be glad to furnish th' necessary information to those wh are inexperienced.

POULTRY ROOSTS CONVENIENT IN CLEANING HOUSE For convenience In cleaning a chick- j en house, the movable roost shown herewith will commend Itself to farm ers who have only a small number of fowls In their flocks, says the Orange 1 Judd former. The chief advantage Is that It c&n be taken apart quickly and thoroughly cleaned. Fof control pf mites and lice this Is a very Important feature. . It Is made by using two carpenter's horses of any suitable length. On the upper sides of the crosspleces notches ore made for the roosts proper to res< In. These roosts of 2-lnch material should fit rather snugly in place and preferably be pinned to prevent tilting when the fowls are upon them. The dimensions of the crosspleces will de pend somewhat upon the number of fowls kept. A 2 by 4-lnch scantling will be large enough. This should be fastened to the legs well toward Its ends. The legs may be of any con venient height ; 18 Inches to 2 feet will E?aM> Moved Chicken Roost. be high enough for fowls of the heavy breeds such as Cochin, Brahma and Lnngshan, but a foot or so higher for the lighter varieties such as Leghorns, Andalunlnn end Minorca. These roosts may be placed any where In the poultry house, prefera bly not In contact with the walls. They will need to be drenched with kerosene at regular Intervals to get rid of mttes, but probably not as oft,en as If they were attached to the walls, because the mites will not have hh good opportunities to hide. If It la not considered desirable to use oil, boiling water will do ns well. Where water Is used, this stylo of roost is specially advantageous, h tlu- < . ,u l,.ng can b' j ,|.,y. and tin- v. <> ..il !>e t.j an hour or so. Hot water c.umot bo used In the house, becanse It will nut evaporate readily enough. Crushed Oystershell and Lime Are of In;port$nce Do your hens frequently lay soft shelled eggs, though plentifully sup plied with crushej) oyetershell? If so It Is perhaps due iu an over-fat condi tion of the fowls. This Is especially true when hens are fed almost exclu sively on grains. Repeated experi ments prove tkat all the lime needed for the farming of eggshells Is not to be found In oystershells ; therefore, the feetl must provide a purt oi il.j neces sary liine. While grains contain much st:;rch. they are deficient In lime. Hence, when the hens receive much grain and little feed containing mineral matter, they receive more starch than 'they can utilize because of the shortage of mlnerali matter in their systems. Clo ver and: alfalfa are both rich In min eral matter, so the feeding of these legumes will help much to offset the starchlness of the grains. .Excessive fat not only retards lay ing but causes various sorts of freak ?ff?s. If the eggs from an over-tot hen are used for Incubation, the chicks will lftek vitality and are often de formed. Limited Range for Hens During Severe Weather Even the farm hen should have her free range limited In cold weather. The object of range In to get the nat ural food for the chickens. In the shape of live meat, a variety of seeds, etc., and also the exercise of picking them np. With the ground frozen hard, and the wind nearly blowing a bird off her feet, range is more harm than good. The hens that stay In a welf ventllnted, light hen house, and scratch In dry litter, are better off than the free-range birds. Mature Ganders Usually Produce Best Goslings Oeoo* will lay during the first year and the egga may hatch, but the gos lings are not as vigorous as those pro duced by more mature breeding stock Handera usually produce the best re suits when from three to five yenrq old. The yearling gnnders sometimes fnll to prove satisfactory as breeders. Oeese are often held aa breeders for nine or ten years and the ganders are often good for six or aeven years. Increase Eprfe Production by Supplying Green Feed In a report from t?>e Washington atatlon an account Is given of an ex periment In which a pen of pullet^ which had been receiving ordinary care, were shut In a house, due to the extreme cold winter weather, end were fed on green feed.
