Ochs, which occurred a few days ago, Amer ican journalism lost one of its nob lest exponents. The life story of this Cineinatti-born Jewish boy, who rose from a printers devil to the ownership of the most esteemed and influential newtspaper In the United States, the New York Times, is one of indefatigaJMe labor and brilliant adhdeveanent. Yet Mr. Ocfas was one of the most modest and self-effacing of men. In addition to being a most successful and worthy newspaper publisher, he Was a dfevoted patriot1 and a great philanthropist . His record for civic )and social advancement was quietly, hough none the less effectively, irtadet during a long life of service. To mention only a few of his nota ble contributions to' his own gener ation and to posterity, it (may be re corded that he founded the Chatta nooga- Lookout Mountain Park, rich in historic associations; made pos sible the publication of the American Dictionary of Biography by a dona tion ol half a million dollars; initiated a five million dollar endowment for Hebrew Union College in Cincinatti, and built the Julius and Bertha Ochs Memorial Jewish Temple in Chatta rtoogo in honor of his parents. In tMB edifice he lay in state after his death, whirih occurred during a visit to Chat tanooga before his body was taken to New York for interment. PerhapB no other newspaper pub lisher ever was accorded such a wealth of encomium as such haa been be stowed' on Adolpfl* S. Ochs, since his death on April 8th at the age of 77. FARMERS AND TBE AAA According to estimates made public by officials of the Agricultural Ad justment Administration a few days ago, farmers of the United States Will receive approximately 650 mil lion dollars for their participation in the crop adjustment program during! 1985. This is abotrt 20 million less tJhan they received for 1984. The relatively small reduction In payments ttiia year will affect princi pally the corn-hog and tobacco raisers for whom restrictions will be relaxed somewhat. On the other hand it is es timated that payments to the cotton farfrmera tHll be to some extent larger this year than last. Considerable dissatisfaction has l>een expressed by the cotton manu facturing industry because of the processing tax, wfrArfh It Is claimed, (places cotton Mods ait a disadvan tage with ?Atitor fabrics, such as ray on, and alao nUtkefe it mibrs difficult to sell in cocn$ailtlon #lth Japan, in 'both domestic and foreign markets.

There Is a Wide divergence of op1n- i ion as to tfhether permanent benefits to agriculture will accrue through out of present AAA policies That there haa been temporary bene OUR STATE FLOWER (Prom The Anderson Independent) I No more appropriate flower could k*re been selected for the South Carol una flower than the yellow jasmine, whose cheery color and fragrance are in every field and woodland these April days. The Uttle yellow bell-Bhaped blossom hangs in profusion to the clambering vines that run over the ground and ?are entwined around eft/rubs and trees A glimpse into the fields near the highways and almost any open space reveals an abundance of jasmine. A state flower should bo one that is free to all, one that has the com mon touch. It should not be thought of in terms of exclusiveness and snobbishness but shuld make an ap peal to all classes. An ordWd or some sort of showy flower tbat is resplend ent in color and odor would not do. The yellow jasmine, lowly enough to befriend the most penniless passer by, but beautiful enough to appeal to the most fastidious is the flower of all the people. It grows plentifully everywhere in the state and is there fore as much a native as was W<ide Hampton or John C. Calhoun. South Carolinians should be proud of their state flower. It symbolizes tflfla beauty of the state. It also sym bolizes the bounty of nature that has been beBtowed upon our state. For nature has generously. endowed South Carolina with a healthful clim ate, rich soil, many resources that if properly developed would suffice the : whole population. Our people should protect the yel low jasmine. Harry Hampton, auth- 1 or of t3ie nature column in the Co lumbia State, tells of seeing a car full ! of persons stop on the road that runs through his place and dig up a quan- ! tity of jasmine. The woman, who j seemed to be ringleader, told him ' that she wanted to beautify her 1 place with it. Mr. Hampton ob- i served that the jasmine was then al- ! ready withering and the roots were ! dry. He told the party tifoat he did not mind giving them the flowers,1 had they asked for it but he ad^od ' that they no more right to enter his j property and take flowers than hej had the right to invade their lawns in tihe city and do the same. Mr. { Hampton said that those who wish to get flowers might well observe 1 common laws of honesty and decency, j THE CLOTH POULTRY HOUSE | A frame of light material (2 x 2) ! i is erected as in building any laying ! or brooder house. Instead of the usual siding and roofing materials, cotton cloth is tacked on the frame work and coated with a mixture of gas tar and hydrated lime. The cot ton cloth commonly used is the regu lar sheeting material, used feed bags or cotton sacks. Sligftitly stained or damaged cloth can often be purchased from the mills at a reduced price. (Burlap is not satisfactory). The cloth is securely fastened to tho frame by using large headed roofing nails and tacking every two nches. The cloth should not be stretched, but should be made free from folds or wrinkles. One or two inches should be allowed for lapping. A rigid frame work well secured and supported and braced Is essential for a satisfactory (house. After the cloth has been put on it is coated with the tar and lime mixture. A gallon of gas tar to a quart of lime is the usual recommen dation; however, this will depend upon the thickness of the tar. It may be necessary to add more lim)o if the tar is thin. The tar Should be kept well stirred at all times in order to obtain a uniform product. From the data on a cloth house constructed at Clemson College, one gallon tar mixture will cover about 75 sq. ft. of ;loth to the first application and about 260 sq. ft. to the second and third coats. Three coats should bo applied, allowing tiime between coats for the preceding coat to become thoroughly dry. At the above rate a 10 x 12 brooder house will re quire approximately 10 gallonn of tar. This tar may be purchased from any gas plant in the larger towns of the state. Henry I). Green, County Agent R. B. PITTS TESTIFIES IN WASHINGTON HEARING Washington, April 10.? R. B. Pitts, from the Hermitage Cotton mills, Camden, was a witness beforo the special committee here today consid ering amendments to the national re covery administration act. He said among other things, that' his chief wish is to speed up production in or der to take care of shorter hours and increased pa y? fit to the farmer Is evident, hut many believe the impnutable law of supply and demand will ultimately govern, as it has always done In the past, and that artificial devices will fail to pro duce permanent result*. i * AN ORDINANCE To Require the Payment of License on Business, Occupations and Pro fessions in the City of Camden, 8.

In t reased Ibuilding activity makes specially important greater attention to details of termite and rot preven tion, removal of wooden stiff knees and forms around pillars or chimneys complete elimination of stumps and chips and lumber from beneath the building, and placement of wooden timbers out of contact with soil are necessary precautions to heed, ho eays. i'ersonal examinations under doz ens ot houses have shown Mr. Nettles that dirt filled poivh.es are directly responsible for the majority of ter mite infestations. In every instance the trouble mig'ivt have been averted, he thinks, at slight additional cost ut time of construction, simply by protecting the sill with a barrier of concrete. The remedy for the situat ion consists in chemical treatment or correction of the defect i:\ con struction, either of which is a costly undertaking. Many architects, contractors, and carpentirs are now paying particu lar attention to termite and rot pre vention, and it is practicable to in sist on a house that Is teilmite proof and rot proof.
