fgLLOW CORN BETTER 1

uuger Feed Than White Says i
Farm Journal <
; i
ough farmers for many years 1
believed that yellow com was 1
than white for feeding pur- 1
the South as a whole has maini
strong preference for white f
The reason for this preference *
bite corn is that it makes a 8
desirable or popular grade of 1
ill for human consumption. c
re have said, farmers have long *
ined that yellow corn is a
[er" feed than white corn, even
hey had found no way of prov- 8
scientifically. In recent years, ^
he discovery of the new food *
is known as vitamines, posi- ?
oof of the correctness of the ^
belief in the superior feed- v
ue of yellow over white corn v
n developed. On page 6 last e
;e printed a summary of the v
ons, based on trials by the c
Experiment Station, as re- v
in a bulletin comparing white
pw corn for growing and fat- a
jfvine and for brood sows, in a
superiority of yellow corn
b shown. If it be true that c
byn contains more of the 8
few A" and is therefore a bet- c
mlan white corn for livestock, t
Hi with other feeds deficient in
Amine, it follows that it is also c
ifcf food for people. This is a *
f of more importance to the r
I than some seem to think, for 1
?man consumption of corn is c
in.the South, perhaps larger I
n any other section of the counrourse,
if the rations of either (
f beings or farm livestock have i
ent variety, or" contain other i
rich in "Vitamine A,". the de- I
y of white corn is made up and ]
is a satisfactory result as yel- !
ow corn; but since rations for neither
people nor livestock are always made
lp with sufficient intelligence and
:are, the feeding of white corn instead
of yellow may mean a defect
:hat will react seriously on the
jrowth and development of the aninal
fed.
The prejudice against yellow corn
:or human consumption should rapidy
give way before the facts which
icience has developed. We cannot
easonably keep on preferring white
orn in the face of the positive proof
hat it lacks one of the essential food
ilements for growth and development.
There is however one practical obstacle
to a general adoption of yellow
arieties in the South. The past preerence
for white corn accounts for
he fact that much more attention
las been given to the improvement of
yhite varieties of corn than to yellow
arieties. The result is, it is not so
asy to find or select a high-yielding
ariety of yellow corn adopted to our
onditions as .it-is . to. find a white
ariety.
Two conclusions based on now well
iscertained facts should be accepted
ind translated into practice:
1. There is \a potent reason why
:orn grown for feding purposes
ihould be of the yellow varieties, not
>nly in the South but over the counry
as a whole.
2. With the superiority of yellow
orn over white now proved, our
Southern corn breeders and experinent
stations should devote special
ittention to the further omprovement
>f our best-yielding varieties of yelow
corn.?The Progressive Farmer.

THE SHEEP RANCH*
Harris's ProfuMii and the Sheep
Killing l)og.
A farmer named Harris, across the
river in York county, teems bent on a
profitable enterprise, for he is talking
sheep ranches, one of which he
purposes to establish on a tract of 500
acres in the Broad Kiver and Kings
Creak section, at an itemised cost of
$20,000, including all equipment and
st/ick, He calculates on the profit
side of the ledger, so we learn from
1 he Yorkville Knquirer, the wool from
480 head of sheep at eight pounds per
head, at 45 cents per pound; increase
of flock per year, 480 head, at $8 per
head, $3,840; total $5,568. From this
would coine a total of $4,400 for feeding
expenses, salaries, cash for individuals,
etc., totaling $4,400, leaving
a balance for surplus account of $1,160,
says I lie Charlotte Observer.
All well and good. But there is one
thing Farmer Harris has left out of
the calculation and which he must
provide ugainst. .It is the sheep-killmg
dog. We are reminded: Up in
Jackson county, at the last election,
the Democrats were licked, and the
licking did John Wilson good, for it
determined him to quit politicking and
set ubout making a living for himself.
Wilson owns 2,400 acres of land
around the mountain sides on the
highway from Sylva to Franklin.
There is a pasturage of 600 acres on
the land. This he fenced in for protection
of a herd of about 300 sheep
with which he made a start on his
ranch. The Observer was asking
Wilson a few days ago as to how he
was coming along with his new venture,
and was encouraged to know
that he is doing fine. "How many
sheep have you lost by dogs?" he was
asked. "Three," was his reply. "And
how many dogs have you killed?"
was the next question. "Fifteen,"
was the reply, and Wilson did not
have to hesitate for a countup. The
singular part of it was that Wilson
had difficulty in making any neighbor
admit ownership of a slain dog,
except in one case, for Wilson does
not kill a dog and hide it?he goes
forth in search of an owner, to relate
what happened and incidentally to
remind that he is running a sheep
ranch and proposes to protect it. The
ranch guarded against the murderous
roving hound dog, and Farmer
Harris may go ahead confidently on
his York county ranch. Only the
dog stands in the way of his calculations
panning out about right.
The South Carolina farmers are expected
to join in the York county
sheep ranch proposition?it could be
scarcely called experiment?and the
prospect is that the enterprise will be
launched. This should mark a general
movement ~ in North " Carolina and
South Carolina in the direction of
sheep-raising, for this industry has
lately come into the classification of
, one of the most prosperous of American
farming industries. The woolen
I mills in North Carolina afford a
market at home for product of the
sheep's Toack and the home markets
are of capacity to absorb the mutton
product. In Alleghany and Ashe and
other counties in that section of the
mountains, the sheep ranch has become
a profitable venture and the industry
is finding graded and steady
enlargement. The sheep ranch is a
thing to be encouraged.
Coroners of two Colorado counties
on yesterday exonerated state police
of all responsibility in connection with
the deaths of five miners in a skirmish
at the Columbine mine on Monday,
where there is a strike of coal
miners in progress.
United States marines and National
gugide?iii a brush with Nioaraguan
bandits on Tuesday, killed three of
the bandits. There were no casulties
among the marines or guards.
Two Bank Robbers Fall In Gun Fight
Odessa, Texas, Nov. 25.?The first
bank robber to die in the war declared
by the Taxas bankers' association
which offered $5,000 each for
"dead bandits only" fell in a duel
with officers here shortly after dawn.
The bandit and a companion were discovered
trying to enter the Citizens'
National bank. When they refused to
surrender at the command of Sheriff
Rfceder Webb of Craig county, ,he
and his three companions opened
fire. One bandit fell dead and the
other dropped with wounds, physicians
said would prove fatal. Deputy
Sheriff Tom Jones and two expert
shots from the Range county comprised
the sheriffs force.

Clear Out Your Fields
Clemson College, * Nov. 29.?In
every county of South Carolina, not
excepting the uppermost Piedmont,
it appears that a large number of
cotton boll weevils will hibernate in
a sufficiently healthy and vigorous
condition to survive the winter, says
J. O. Pepper, extensiop entomologist,
who haa ju$rt completed a weevil
Burvey^ Like an unkind deed^ these
.offenders of the southern farmer will
bob up again in 'the 1928 crop to
plague lie, if a mild wintdr favors
them.*. So, throughout the state froip
river to shore the farmer 'has one
most important job right now?clearing
the fields of their cotton crop,
then 6f the stalks and tras^i, says
Mr. Pepper.
, If any farmer, doubting the presence
of weevils, would examine the
old deformed bolls and gnarled lint
he will undoubtedly conclude that an
old cotton patch standing through
winter is a nuisance in the sight 6f
every farmer who intends to plaqt
a 1928 crop, says the entomollgist
He f?j**bprmore Reminds.. that only
a few weevils now may mean destruction
to the 1928 cotton, if unmolstad.
"Fall clean-up unquestionably the
most impeitant sitlfrle sf?p in weevil
control," declares lfc_ Pepper. "First
the cotton must be picked. Then the
stalks must be chopped or plowed
under. And the job is never complete
until terraces, ditch-banks and
roadsides favorite weevile beds?art
clean. The weevils are coming.

Dr. frank Crane Says:
The Echo of Applause Short Lived
Riches may bo fickle, people say
they are, but moat of u? would like
to have them awhile and watch them
fick.
But whatever may be true of
riches, fame is surely fickle.
We all struggle for the spotlight
and front' paffe publicity but when
we get it it doesn't last very long.
Those wlyo are .along in years can
recall the many instances. We
remember that "Doc" Cook was
honored by the Danes and welcomed
by the Americans and afterwards
that Peary took his place for a few
brief minutes.
Then there was Dewey. Nothing
was too good for him for awhile but
when he gave his wife his Washington
home that the people had presented
to hint sentiment turned right
away and Dewey was cast into the
discard.
Then there was Jack Binns, the
famous wireless operator on the
steamer Republic which was rammed
off Natucket Island, who stuck to
his post until the Baltic responded
and thjfe passengers were all rescued.
How many people of today know
who Jack Binns was?
A man by the name of Kissinger
probably did more for his country
than most any man. In 1900 he was
a private in the army but allowed
himself to be inoculated with yellow
fever to prove that that disease
came from mosquito bites. He is
now living in poverty and gets a
pension of a meager $100 a year
from the government.
Onee we sat up and took notice of
Louis Bleriot who flew across the
English channel, the first man to
perform that exploit. Where is
Bleriot now? Where are the snows
of yesteryear ?
Then there was Captain Richmond
P. Hobson, the hero of the Santiago
Harbor. Once we were all applauding
him and the girls anxious to
kiss him. He now lives in Pasadena
and few know that he is alive.
Gen. Wijliam Mitchell probably
did as much toward winning the
war in Fiance as any American. He
consecrated his efforts towards making
the United States foremost in
aviation. For his reward he has
been ousted from the army, because
he disagreed with his superiors.
One time there was an ace by the
nap\e Cqpt. Eddie Rickenbaeker
who shot down more German flyers
than any American pilot. For
awhile he was a hero then he too
flickered out.
And so we say of Amundsen, the
first man to reach the South pole and
to fly a dirigible over the North pole,
and of Commander John Rodgers
who was wrecked on his flying trip
to Honolulu. George Young, who
swam the Catalina channel and Gertrude
Ederle who swam the English
channel, that they might give a few
pointers to Commander Byrd and
Col. Lindbergh as to the fickleness
of fame.
Shebly Gregory, the first of 33 defendants
to be tried at Luverne, Ala.,
for masked violence in Crenshaw
county, was found not guilty by a
jury yesterday. Gregory was specifically
charged with kidnapping and
assult in connection with the flogging
of Annie Mae Simmons, a negress.
The new Kenan stadium at the University
of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill, was dedicated yesterday. The
stadium was built at a cost of $300,000
a donation from William Rand
Kenan, Jr., alumnus of the university.
In the football game played yesterday
the North Carolina University team
defeated the team representing the
University of Virginia. ,
Each day in a 'darkened room of
Edgware Road, London, a number of
men study the eighty-one square
miles of Ixjndon thoroughfares by

clubs, and public places so that
they can pass police examinations for
chauffeur licenses.
Rare Will of A Congressman
The late Gordon Lee, for 20 year^
a Representative in Congress from the]
State of Georgia, and a man of
wealth, was also a man who entertained
an intelligent sympathetic
conception of the responsibility that :
attends the possession of riches. ,
Although a man without children, according
to the Atlanta Constiution,
his life had been peculiarly devoted
to children, and this devotion is conclusively
demonstrated by the fact
that in nkr*?ull he made provisiopTfor.
the establishing of a great high &bool
and jurrier^ college at Chieamauga,
Ga., his home town, including school
budding, dormitory, athletic- field,
superintendent's home, etc., the tdlai
dobat'on amounting to more than a
quartbr of rf; million dollars. In addition
he left a trust fund of $40,QO0|
to be loaned to worthy boys and girls;
to enable them to attend this school.]
The Constitution is Huvuoriiy for the'statement
that during Mr. Lee's lifetime-he'
had given "$100!&00 to orphanages,
"and more to the poor and j
worthy of his Congressional district/!
and fittingly adds: "His great fortune.
1ft lift, has been consecrated to
unselfish servtoi.'* After hi? passing,
he left it to service. His name will
lire la history as one. of the greatest;
of Georgians.*?Spartanburg Journal
Two Killed In Hunting Quarrels
Greenwood, Nov. 26.?A dispute
over a young rabbit caused the death
of one negro while a quarrel over a
a cartridge froth a 22 caliber rifle
resulted iri the death of another in
Greenwood county on Thanksgiving,
it wus brought out today at inquest
conducted by the coroner.
According to testimony James
Ginn shot Dave Walker while the two
were hunting in the Kirksey section,
because Walker rebuked Ginn for
shooting a little rabbit in his bed.
"Would you take advantage of a
little rabbit like that," Walker questioned
and the answer was a charge
from Ginn's shotgun which took effect
in the head and proved fatal, it
was testified.
It developed that Allen Cullen shot
and killed Timothy Harris, because
Harris beat him shooting a 22 cartridge
while the two wero testing their
marksmanship with a sling shot
from a roadside near Salak. When
Harris shot the cartridge into a patch
of woods, Cullen shot him in the
head with a shotgun wheal he refused
to hunt for it, it was said. Ginn and
Cullen in jail here claim the shooting
was accidental.
After an active life of about three
seconds, the time required for 160 to
200 shells to pass through the barrel,
a big canrfon must be rebuilt.
