Although the Goethalp history is a long list of elgnal achievements, the if eat With which his name la moat widely associated is the conatruction ^of the PattaifcSTcanal, the gr^t en-, gi necking project which separates the American continents, after previous jit$pmpts during the preceding half ie^rtury had failed. t<i>r seven years the work went on, ae&iugly impossible of success, yet ueVar slackening. Mountains were sheered away and a great lake was created far' above the sea. Such a Jay stem of locks as had never before Aeen conceived was thrown across the isthmus, and the laws of nature it* self were apparently bent to the tbdomitable will biI this invincible man. i Success of the project was probably largely due. to the fact that general Goethala could see beyond the*>stri<k. limits of his profession, lie alized that if Panama ''was to be conquered by engineers, the lives of those engineers and all their employes must be protected. And so he t?ok' with him on his great missloa dBgf> Geo. -William Gorgas, whom he mhde chief sanitary officer of the Canal Zone and who cleaned the isthmus of ffever that had taken terrible toll in previous attempts. , In 1914 the great canal was at lastr completed, and for two years, with his new commission as major general and with the thanks of congress publicly accorded him, General Goethals acted as the first governor oil the Canal Zone. Then he asked to retire from pu&ic life and for a time but little was heard of him. .

M&We is no single Hem which will reduce the cost of feed for livestock 1 as much as will a well sodded pasture, definitely planned and planted as a - -".j permanent fixture of the farm says J. W. Sanders, -County Demonstration Agent. In most cases our livestock myst depend upon the native grasses when grazing in our pastures, and these are poor at their best. We aro fortunate in having found a grass which gives long and splendid grazing on the lowlands or bottoms of this section. Carpet Grass planted in February and March gives grazing from early Spring to late Fall,'and * even into the winter in some seasons. | The land requires no special prepara- ^ tion before planting carpet grass and a separate pasture is not required for livestock while the 'grass is getting started; hence, it is very conveniently and cheaply introduced to our . ~--A pastures. Several hundred acres have been planted to carpet glass in Kershaw county during the past several years, and there-are a number of farmers who will testify to its value as pasture crop. If anyone wishes first hand information in regard to this grass the following parties will be Jffl gad to tell what they think of ic from their own personal experience: C. B. McCaskill, Camden, R. 3; J. R. Catoe, Kershaw, R. 6; J. B. MdCoy, Gamden, R. 2; J. S. H. -Clarkson, Lugoff; L. J. Jordan, Westville; J. E. Kershaw, R. 1; M. O. King, . ethune; W. C. Gandy, Kershaw R.
