'oultry Flock Profits

Clemson Collet, Sept. 3.?An av

,l ls unusually good as compared
iith the annual production of 32 eggs
or the average South Carolina hen
s reported in the 1925 Agricultural
italistics.
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."
