A GREAT PUBLISHER DIES
In the death' of Adolph S. 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.

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.

DAMAGE FROM TERMITES
AM) Kur PKEYENTAbl-E
Clemson College, April 15 ? 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.
