agents who were unsuccessful in their
< ?rni*-'.a ion for the prizes bestowed by
W.nthrop College tliis year foY outht
.nding achievement in the field of
public service, health, education, agri(ultuial
and home economics, hut with
tin* desire to commend good work already
done and urge on these good activities
for the future, we here hearti-J
ly congratulate Miss Alma Burgess :
and her co-workers in the several '
county Farm Womens Councils upon [
bringing the silver loving cup from
Winthrop College to Kershaw County i
this year.
We further congratulate Miss Burgess
upon her winning the free trip to
Washington. It is a well deserved
honor and we sincerely hope that she
will enjoy every benefit possible from
it.
The prize last year went to Berkley
f'ounty, ami was no doubt due to the
fact that Berkley and other coastul
counties have for the past few years
Ihmmi forced by the boll weevil to abandon
cotton largely and torn to truck,
tobacco, hogs arid poultry as a source
of revenue The wisdom of this kind
./f f&rnr.ing IT r?g home and selling
surplus??-m> i'U plainly seen by anyone
traveling through that section.
Kvvdencen of prosperity are everywhere
Ionk th<- roads, and we understand
tiiat there are many farmers
who do not borrow a dollar from
bunks to finance their crops.
The Chronicle along with many of
nor citizen* believes that Kerahaw
County m fast coming to this hnppy
condition, and will lend its forcea as
fur as possible toward that good end.
Kershaw Kami Women Win
Farm women of Kershaw win no
slight honor in bringing back from
Winthrop college the silver loving
eup annually awarded to that county
council which is adjudged to have
done during the year the best work.
Lust year the eup was tuken by
lb-1 k ley.
These ('nun ty councils of farm
w mien cany on an amazing program
of public service in the rtetds of education,
health, agriculture, citizenship,
legislation and religion, and
maintain more than a score of
scholarships in the colleges for promising
young men and young women
from the farms.
Or. James P. Kinard, dean of Winthrop
college, in addressing the conference,
spoke with admiration of the
typical stories of income-yielding activities
by farm women printed recently
in The State under the general
heading, "Money 'On the Side'
for Women."
Kershaw, as a neighbor-county,
The State heartily congratulates. Already
the programs laid out make
certain that the generous competition
for the cup next year will be urdent.

Carrison Wheat Farm
Vint ted Uy OeorgianH
The Mac oil Telegraph of Wednesday,
J urn* 13th, carried hi: internet
mg article relative to wheat being
grown by Mr. I). J. Carriaon, fonuei'
ly of this city, on a farm near Macon.
|The Telegraph also comments editor
I tally al Ici'igth on thia I Tup aiiOWiftg
; how unproved farui machinery will
j produce results, and also trying to
, g.-t Georgia farmers away from the
leotton itleu. The Telegraph's description
ut this farm is a follows:
"The transformation of a barren
waste <>f '150 acres on the 1). J. Cur
nson farm, at Bolingbroke, into prof
its in wheat, was witnessed by more
than 700 farmers, landowners and
business men yesterday ns the farm
was turned into a demonstration center
of modern farming methods.
"So thoroughly systematized, is the
work on tin- farm that fields that
were harvested in wheat last Friday
will Ik- planted in soy beans today.
An example of how Mr. Carrison
works his farm may be seen in hij
present use of his tractor during the
I harvesting time.
"He has equipped his tractor with
jx>werful head lights and operates
them 22 hours dally.
"What I have done here," suid Mr.
Carrison before the throng gathered
to see his farm, "is nothing tnat cannot
he done by others. It represents
the intelligent use of machinery and
a superabundance of hard work.
"My whole training has been along
the lines of machinery, not of farm
machinery, however, and I have had
to learn as I went. The co-operation
of the power machine companies
has made possible the transformation (
you see here. j
"There is one thing I wish to emphasize:
We cannot expect to develop
largely in agriculture until we
I have good roads. We need the roads
I to haul our fertilizer on and we need
I the roads to get our crops to market."
I
"in the two fields that have been (
harvested already the yield has been
28 bushels per acre. Mr. Carrison
exfvecls to get an average of 26 bush-'
els. lie is harvesting at the rate '
of 25 acres a day with combine har- j
voster which cuts, threshes and de- t
livers the grain to sacks, while it '
j leaves the #>tr?iw on the other side.
! The grain which has already been
! harvested has been delivered at the
'mill and $1.75 a bushel has been re-_
i ceived for it.
! "The point was raised as to the
wastage in harvesting with the com
' bine but Mr. Carrison gave government
figures to the effect that the
wastage with the machine was 20
pounds to the acre as compared to
10 pounds by the old methods with
its many handling.
"From all parts of the state visitors
gathered. They arrived early in the
morning and watched the demonstration
at that time and followed later
in the day to other fields where sub
soil plowing was in progress and
where disc plows^vere in operation
each pulled by tractors.
I As the people gathered for lunch'eon.
D. F. Bruce, county agent,
spoke of the methods represented at
the demonstration.
"We hi pe it will be the coming or
a new day in the Piedmont section."
said Mr. Bruce, " when we realize
the possibilities shown here at this (
demonstration. It should mean the
raising of more grain, more wheat,
more rye and more oats and this
should be followed automatically by <
more dairying and more cattle.
"Don't try to set tire to Georgia,
but go slow and figure on cost and;'
work out your own situation." (
"Barl>eoue was served under tnO|
trees where places had been set for j
moie than 700. The luncheon was |
given by the machine companies
which had demonstrations in prog-[
ress, Yancey Brothers. McCormick-'
Dccring and?A~.?h?Case?Trn*?bai'becue
was served by the members of
the home demonstration council ot j
Bibb county.
"Mr. Carrison has two kinds f
wheat plantisl. Red Heart and B1 le i
I Stem. So far his harvest has be-n
I of the Red Heart variety which ne j
, obtained from Coker's Pedigreed!
Seed farm and has shown 28 bus nets j
to the acre. He expects to compare:
the two when he has harvested both, j
| Next year, he will plant seed from
his own harvest and the following
i year he will get a pedigreed seed
again, he said. This he will do so
! as mot to permit the grain stock to
' deteriorate."

j!The Truth About TheJ
Eayit
(From Our Dumb Animals)
The whoae likeness is our
I national emblem depicting indepeu*
dence u;id sovereignty, is a muchmaligned
bird. About *JH per cent
ui fiction and aiicgeu fa?.t ?v l itUjli
about the bird is without serious
'study or authority. It i-> the exception
rather than the iule that the inaj
jestic k.ng of the an preys upon
: chickens, hogs, lambs or other small
I farm animals. Kiln*led as it is, the
eagie is the subject of murderous at,
tai ks which .1 re destroying the
1 I
, Hpecietf.
I It is sir.kingly evident, from u'
study of the eugle and reports from
various parts of the country, that this
bird doe - riot bother inun or his pos'
sessions where man has not killed
the eagle's means of living. In places
I where guns, wholesale rabbit drives,
traps and poisons are used to destroy
rabbits, birds and rodents, the eagle
is forced by necessity to kill an occasional
chicken, turkey or perhaps
a lamb. However, where this balance
of nature has not been disturbed it
is rare that reports are made of this
great bird killing fowls and small
animals. More often this work is
done by the giant hawk. The hawk
stays close to civilization while the
eagle, perhaps disgusted with what
we choose to call civilization, stays as
far away from man as possible, especially
in the choice of a home. The
eagle is wise and he long ago learned
of the vandalism characteristic of a
regretfully large number of supposedly
civilized people.
The writer has made a study of the
habits of eagles, having good opportunity
in the Panhandle of Texas
where some 200 white headed American
eagles (Haliaetus Leucocephalus)
spend the winter in the beautiful Palo !
Duro canyon and where the golden
eagle i.Aquila Chrysaetos) abounds
the year round. Over a period of ,
ten years we have had reports of
about fifty fowls, a half dozen lambs
and two p.gs being killed by the i
more than 200 eagles in this limited t
section. Examinations of the eyries' j
>t many of these birds disclosed f
virtually no remains of farm fowls 1
>r animals. Bones of prairie dogs, j 1
rabbits, ground squirrels and wild *
birds are found in abundance in the ^
c-jre of the nests. : 1
Dr. Francis Hobart Herrick, pro- *
lessor of biology, Western Reserve
University, who has made a scientific 1
study of the daily habits of the eagle <
and whose recent book, "The Ameri-i*
can Eagle at Vermilion, Ohio," the
first study of its kind, says in con- 1
nection with the charges of van-'
da I ism made against the eagle: "Many'1
farmers naturalk resent the loss of \
their chickens, but a pair of thasa r
birds range in the course of the sea-!1
sou and the relatively small number Jx
of domestic fowl destroyed, it is; t
evident that individual losses are i
bound to be small. At certain times .
and places the American eagle accounts
for large numbers of waterfowl
or more or less destructive mammals,
as rat-, ^uuirrels. rabbits, .?< coons,
skunk- .md opossum."
In the less ,n.nly populated sections
the eagle's pi ;.sence is unnoticed in
so far as deprt lations are concerned,
Harding's raruh on the Palo Duro
Canyon in the Texas Panhandle is a j
haven for eagles. The owner of the '
place has refused anyone the privil- j
ege of hunting on his 10,000-acre |
ranch and canyon gaine preserve for
the past sixteen years. As a result
the eagles in increasing numbers
have come to his ranch in October
and November of each year to remain
until early the following spring,
usually leaving before April 1. The
golden eagles live in the canyon all
year. He has huridreds of calves
born on the ranch each year and they
have never been bothered. Neither
have the dee-r- on the ranch.
Mr. Henry Harding, owner, is in
sympathy with a movement to make
I the killing of an eagle punishable
i bv a heavy fine and imprisonment.
| His Eagle s Paradise is impressive
testimony to the manner in which
wild life will respond to kind treatment
and protection. He joins others
in declaring, that the eagle, which
since June 20, 1782, has been the
adopted emblem of the United States,
is a much libeled bird, due in the main
to man's ignorance of this master of
the skies.

trllect Now ("hief Force in World
More and more sheer bruin power
is coming irrto its own us opposed tc
brute strength. The world bus known
times when physical force dominated
both man and be??t. Those days are
gone. Now everything is ruled by
thoughts in the minds of men. The
Barnwell People-Sentinel philosophises
and continues with some details:
And this Age of Intellect is having
unexpected results, The old-time
prize-lighter, and many other oldtime
exponents Of various sports, had
only strength. The prize-fighter with
the largest biceps, longest reach,
steadiest legs and the best punch was
the idol of the populace. Now a
prize fighter is expected to have some
business sagacity, and a good scientific
knowledge of the fistic game. In
addition, we have come to expect our
prize-fighters t6 know a little, even
more than a little, about things which
belong in the realm of art.
Witness the coming to this country
of Italy's champion, Umberto Torriani.
Not half as much fuss is being
made about Umberto's muscles as is
being made about his classical education.
Umberto is proud of being
a deep student of Shakespeare, Homer,
and the entire range of classic
literature.
Our own Gene Tunney?whom Umberto
would like to meet both in the
ring and as an opponent in an intelligence
test?knows not only the art of
the uppercut but has been a good
reader all of his life and only a few
weeks ago addressed an audience of
college students on the subject of
Shakespeare. And he made some
pretty wise remarks about the Bard
of Avon, too.
In all sport, and in many other lines
of activity, the participants today
have more in their craniums than a
:ynic would expect. This is an age j
where brain-power dominates!
