May Make Wilderness
of Ifiy Game Preserves
Wealthy Northerner# owning hun j
dreds of thou?nnd? of acre# of land
jn the low country, would interpo#c
no serious objection to thi# vast area i
growing up again in wood#, briar#,
and marsh grass, indeed, if revcr#ion
to It# primitive wilderness would increase
the game on it, then these
Northerner# would welcome such re version,
according to Frank W. Shealy,
Lexington. Mr. Shealcy wan for
about Id years a^ member of the
,S..uth Carolina railroad commission
and in now with the -Seaboard Air
Line Railway.
Mr. Shealy was in Columbia says
the State, and talked interestingly
of the vast hunting preserve# in th'*
coastal country whose titles are now
in the names of wealthy sportsmen
of New York, Philadelphia, Boston,
arid other Northeastern cities.
And thousands of acres are owned
in other counties. The sole interest
of these men in these old estates,
once the- seat of a flourishing ogri
cultiffe, is in hunting. The more
game the better they are pleased. If
reversion to primitive conditions will
increase game then they favor such
reversion.
"Would they like n few Indians on
the place?" Mr. Shealy was naked.
"Well, they wouldn't object if Indians
would increase the amount of
ga me.
"I have been trying to show thesemen
that to allow these lands to turn
again into n wilderness would not
increase the number of quail on them.
I have been trying to convince them
that the lands should be made .to
yield some return in the way of agricultural
products, but it is not so
soft?telling a man what ho should
do with his own land.
"The point I have been .emphasizing
is that the quail needs some protection.
That to allow the land to
grow up in a tangle of weeds, briars
and trees would'be to provide shelter
for many animals and reptiles that
prey on birds' eggs and young birds.
Men placed on these estates to work
them to some extent, keep them clear
In part and grow some crops which
would provide food for the birds, will
really increase the number of birds.
They will keep down some of the natural
enemies of the quail.
"These sporstmen land owners arein
some instances building magnificent
houses on these old plantations.
One I know is putting up a mansion
that will cost over a million dollars
and another a house that will cost
nearly a million.
"I think several of these absentee
landowners have come to'see the advantage
of having men on their holding
to cultivate some tracts. In this
wa\ the land is not given entirely to
ever encroaching wilderness and at
the same time birds are given opportunity
of ranging on cleared land."

A death in England a few days ug"
changed Fred I'erceval, ploneci ;
rancher in the Canadian Northwest
jfrovlnce of Alberta to the tenth ear!
of Egmont, fourteenth baronet, and)
master of Avon castle, ltlngwood
Hunts, England. As if by magic wave
of a fairy wand the modest Canudi
an rancher was transported to an
earldom when his cousin, the ninth
earl of Egmont, died ut his ances
tin I home, Avon castle,
\Vhil& other mem Iters of the IJrltisl.
peerage sought news of itie old earl's
successor, the tenth earl of Egmont
was tolling away In the hills south
of the city of Calgary, clearing
brush from his ranch. Swinging an
ux side t# side with his, father, was 1
the Hon. Frederick George Moore
I'erceval, fourteen, son and heir of
tlie new earl.
1
Prefers Ranch Life.
The new earl was In an old well
worn sweater and overalls working,
uwny at his woodpile. Nearby his,
husky young son and heir, clad In
chopps, windbreuker, top boots and
Stptson hat, as worn by all the cow
boys In the district, was saddling n
pony preparatory to taking the cat- I
tie out to their grazing place Just j
over the hills,
"Well," the eurl was accosted, "1
suppose you'll soon be packing up1
and heudlng for England to claim
your estates?"
"1 will not," said the tenth earl of
Egmont with a smile. "I have lived |
In Western Canada 20 yeurst and m.y
father was here before me. We have
farmed and ranched and raised cattle
und horses, and I love the life. There
Is no reuson why I should not stay1
here until 1 die for 1 love my ranch,
my cattle and my horses, and I am
not going to leave it all unless It is
absolutely necessary.
"If I jJo leave it, it will only tie
because 1 want to see my son obtain
the benefits which will come automatically
with the title and the estates."
The son Is also iwippy in ids ranch
life, nnil there Is little likelihood the
new earl will return to England except
for a visit and to take care of
business pertaining to his new fortune.
"Avon castle, the Egmont family
seat, is in Kingwood, Hampshire," :l?o
earl continued. "It comprises 1 00
acres of land and as recently as 1P13
approximately .S'J""UKHj was spent on
it in improvements. We also own
land in several parts of England and
Ireland, and the estate investments
include Shares In at least forty different
companies, including a huge
sum in war loans.
"Probably people will Say we are
queer when 1 say that I do not want
to leave my Alberta ranch for all the
wealth and comfort 1 could enjoy In
England, but I repeat that if I do go
back It will be only for tlie boy. We
have lived the' simple life out here
for more than half my lifetime and
we have been happy. The neighbors
calk nie.tFred.' and I call them 'Hill'
and Mack' and 'Harry' and that suits
me line."
Home Only Two Rooms.
The new earl of Egmont is about
fifty-five, 5 feet G Inches in height,
grizzled and lean from years of hard
work and deeply tunned. His ranchhouse
is a two-room affair built of
logs und although sparsely furnished,
memories of old England in the way
of pictures adorn the walls. He Is
indeinrndeotly wealthy In his own
right but explains his simple surroundings
by suylng that before the
death of his wife he promised her
their son would be brought up in the
clean hard life of the Canadian
Northwest.
"My change of position Is not a
surprise." the earl said In conclusion.
"I've known for years that I would
succeed to tlie title. I've hen In

PKKVKNT 8MUT IN OATH '
( ouufy Ak?hI Lives Formula on How
To Do The. Job.
Many farmers* who have treuted
oat seed hertofore realize the importance
of it to preventJmuvy loaa in
the oat crops from smut. Some seasons
show much more damage than
other# while oats planted from one
lot of seed will contain more smut
than those planted from another lot.
However, it does not pay to run the
risk of having the oat crop ruined.
The cost of treatment is very small.
For oat smut use a formaldehyde
solution as follows:
1. Fan the seed in order to remove
all light seed and foreign material.
\L. Mix one pint o'f formalin (40
pci cent Formaldehyde) with ten gnllon.y
vf" water. Keep solutiort cover*
ed so as to prevent the escape of the
gas funics.
Place the grain on a tight floor
01 a good canvas and sprinkle the solution
with a sprinkling can *nt the
rate of from one to two pints per
bushel. Mix rapidly atid thoroughly
j in order to get every grain covered.
4. Pile the oats and cover with
blankets, canvas or bags.
a. A fter ^wo hours remove covering.
The oats may then be drilled
in the field. If they are to be held
over, they should be spread in a thin
layer and stirred occasionally until
all gas fumes have escaped.
It is important to follow directions
given above. If done properly no
damage will result to germination of
the seed at the same j(iiue thorough
control will be gotten. This Formaldehyde
is usually kept by the drug
stores as well as others.?Henry D.
Creen, County Agent.
Oovornment agents at Charleston
on Tuesday night revealed that Louis
H. Robinson, who is to appear in Federal
court here this week on a charge
of counterfeiting, practiced and instructed
other prisoners in the art of
counterfeiting while he was a federal
prisoner at the South Carolina stat3
penitentiary. One of his pupils, Elgie
Hill, who served a year in the South
Carolina penitentiary upon conviction
of stealing an automobile under th*
name of Art White is now wanted on
a counterfeiting charge, federal
agents said.
Plan to Insure Safety
is Aim of Three-A's
Washington, 0<;t. la.?VigoroUi
prosecution of the reckless driver,
with steps to entirely eliminate this
criminal minority from the, streets
and highways, offers the only means
of curbing the mounting toll of
fatalities from motor vehicles accidents.
This statement was broadcast to*
day by national headquarters of the
American Automobile association on
the basis of every indication that the
total number of motor fatalities for
1929 will exceed 27,000, and thereby
establish a new high mark.
The national motoring body, which
has advanced a Safety-Responsibility
plan as a means of controlling'
the reckless driver; says that the
mounting toll of deaths stands as a
challenge to a progressive nation.
The A. A. A plan has as its basis
stringent driver's license laws; revocation
of the permits of those
found guilty of serious violations of
the motor vehicle laws, with the suspension
of permit remaining in force
until the guilty party has established
proof of financial responsibility
against possible 'future injury to
persons or property. In addition, a
person against whom a judgment
has been rendered, will be denied the
use of the highways until it is liquidated
and financial responsibility
established us a future guarantee.
"The trend of fatalities from - motor
vehicle accidents in ratio to car
registrations,' ' said the A. A. A.,
"was decidedly downward from 1917
to 1928, but since that time has suddenly
turned upward. There is every
indication that a high mark for the
past decade will be reached this year,
despite the fact that the 1929 automobile
is better equipped for safety
than any car in the history of the industry.
"Moreover, this upward trend
comes at a time when the percentage
.of increase in motor, vehicles
registrations is equal to the lowest
on record. In addition, there has been
more attention given to traffic control
within the past five years than
at any time in history. The problem
has occupied the major attention
of state and municipal authorities.
Police forces h;tve been aug
merited with additional
highway patrol unlti have hi**
tablishedr traffic, lights hav? k?
placed by the thousands)
have advanced law after law,
gigantic toll of deaths from
vehicle ' accidents continues toy
crease." ?. !
The statement continues: |
"The subject of safety is
the. dominant problems confront
the American people. Ix?sa of ? ,|JJ
gle life in a hurricane attucts ^
attention, while an annaul toll e^
ah-nt to the population of a progr*.
sive city is wiped out annually, W|n
hardly more than -passing inte?*.r
"The A-.A. A. Safety-Response
ity plan represents months of studi
on the part of nationally-known traf.
flee experts. New York has already
enacted the plan as a whole h,^ ^
statutes of that state, while subataa
tial parts have been adopted in Km
Jersey, Rhode Island, Cormecticd
California, Iowa, Maine, North Dak?
ta, 'Visconsin and Vermont."

In spite of the fact that a
million Chevrolet Sixes have already
been placed in the hands
of owners, and have proved their
performance and stamina by
billions of miles of service over
every type of highway the
, nation affords?
?the Chevrolet Motor Company
continues to take new
Chevrolet Sixes from the assembly
line at the factory and
subject them to pitiless testing
on the roads of the General
Motors Proving Ground!
This passion for proof?this
consistent refusal to accept any
'A . 1
tests as final?is one of the
fundamental reasons for the I
overwhelming popularity of
Chevrolet cars. For in ho Other 1
way is it possible to make the . I
Chevrolet Six so sound in design

to operate!
If you are considering the purchase
of an automobile, come |

You will find that it is more
than a Six in the price range of
the four. In every tray it is a
finer car than you ever thought
possible in the low-price field!
