Last November poultrymen in the hit -y-eight counties of the state ownitg more than 45,000 hens agreed to eep records in cooperation with the lemson College Extension Service, hese poultrymen are kept in close ouch with the county agents and exension poultry specialist througli requent visits and a monthly letter. 1'hey are encouraged to adopt improved practices wherever possible o increase their profits. Through a study and summary of each of these coords received each month the above igures were made available. One of many lessons taught by the ecords is the necessity of high egg production .for muximum profits. This esson applies to every flock regardess of weather the main effort is ? Produce broilers, baby chicks, or breeding stock. All of the flocks with Jigh egg production have more than the average of $2.12 per hen feed :ost and the greater part of this injome was from market eggs. With the prevailing egg prices and the seasonal price increase ahead, Mr. Neel thinks that no poultryman can alford to neglect proper feeding, housing and all those minor things which result in high egg production and the greatest profits.

For the Land'8 Sake Grow Winter Legumes ^ ? 1 Clemson College, Sept. 3.?<Farmers' results over the state show that it is possible to double the acre yield of com by turning under one crop of vetch or Austrian peas. Now comes R. W. Hamilton, extension agronomist, to call attention to the fact that by putting every acre of next year's com land into one of these legumes this fall South Carolina's disgraceful average corn yield of 14.9 bushels per acre could be raised to thirty bushels and thus $32,000,000 added to the agricultural income of the state." With the price of winter legume seed, especially hairy vetch and Austrian winter field peas, at the lowest point in a number of years, Mr. Hamilton 'thinks that the farmers of South Carolina should plant the largest acreage of these moneysaving and money-making crops in the history of the state. There are few farmers that do not know the ad[ vantages of winter legume crops. The high price of seed has been the chief factor in hofding down the acreage. Thousands of farmers have learned by experience that even at the highest prices for seed, a legume crop growing during the winter is the most Smoking Among Women Growing New York, Aug. 27.?British wo- j men may-hold the world's feminine ! smoking record today of twenty to forty cigarettes daily, as despatches last week from London stated. Reports indicate, however, . that their American cousins will wrest the title from them within a few years, so rapidly is the cigarette habit growing among women here. According to chain cigar stores, tobacco companies and retailers of the higher grade cigarettes, the number of women smokers, increasing steadily since the war, has nearly doubled during the last two years. An official of one of the largest of the chain store organizations admitted that their rising sales arc di1 rectly attributed to women customers, and that for some time past the firm's efforts have been concentrated on appealing to and accomodating their women clientele. "While there are no positive statistics," he said, "it is obvioua to 'every one that more women are smoking every day. This is reflected in our greatly increased cigarette sales. ''Women now enter our stores and buy their own cigarettes as a matter of course. Only a few days ago they purchased them through their menfolk. : All our managers and talesmen are required to pay special attention to women's requirements, j They have instructions to keep the tores scrupulously clean and attractive and cigar store loafing is strictly prohibited." "One outstanding feature showing the popularity of smoking women is the immense success of the cork-tipped cigarette. Ninety per cent of them are bought and smoked by women, Thoir custom alone maintains the production of - this - type of cigarette since men are generally indifferent as to whether a cigarette is tipped or not." Mentioning that his company had so far refrained from appealing in a direct form to women smokers in this country, in defense to a section of public opinion, he said: "In Canada, where the women are regular smokers like the English, we solicit their patronage direct through the magazines and other media." Inquires of a Fifth avenue retailer of imported and expensive domestic cigarettes brought out the fact that the stdte sold more cigarettes to women than to men. Women's preference in this grade of cigarette is for "mild Turkish," while men almost invariably patronize the product of Virginia. "To estimate the percentage of women smokers would be very difficult,'* declared the manager of the store, "because there are still a considerable number who smoke only in their homes. My guess would .be 60 per cent taking into account all the women over sixteen years of age." An insanely jealous former convict named Percy T. Barner, killed three persons, fatally wounded another and seriohSly injured a fifth person at Sacramento, Cal., Tuesday, over the affections of his estranged wife and a daughter.

Ruth Refuses to Pose With Hoover Washington, Sept. 1.?Babe Ruth refused to pose today with Herbert Hoover for the photographers at American league baseball park be; fore the opening of the game between the New York Yankees and the Washington Senators. The request that the home run I king go over to the box of the Republican presidential candidate was conveyed by Clark Griffith, president of the Washington club at the request of a photographer. ' "Its a matter of politics," Ruth told Griffith in stating his refusal. Before asking that Ruth be invited the photographer inquired of Mr. Hoover's secretary if the nominee would pose and Mr. Hoover consented. Ruth did not uppear but as the game was called by the umpire a minute or so later the candidate aa? sumed that this had prevented the Yankee star from coming to see him. "I am at a loss to explain such unusual conduct on the part of an American league player under sud^ circumstances/' Griffith said tonight when confirming reports of Ruth's refusal. "It is up to Ruth to give some explanation." Bunker, Mo., is to stage a threeday home-coming evegt planned especially to honor Dr. J. B. Gordon, 77, yn old-time country physician.
