Kendall, of Boston, textile manufacturer, for changes designed to improve operating, and production conditions in the textile industry have been referred to the cbmmittee formed by the president to help in the stabilization of business* Word to this effect was received today from Secretary of Commerce Lamont to whom the suggestions were referred. . Mr. Kendal}, who is at the head : of textile plants in New England and of five plants in North and South Carolina, submitted his proposals to the president with the suggestion to Mr. Hoover that the present offered opportunity for him to "very materially improve the conditions of the textile industry, which, as you know, have been very bad for a number of years." In his letter to the president, Mr. Kendall said the industry was suffaing from over-production due to (free influences, style changes, substitution of rayon for cotton and increase in productive capacity . "due to operating cotton mills in states which permit the working of women and minors at night." After suggesting that the president "add to his committee a man of recognized standing familiar with textile conditions in the north And south, Mr. Kendall said: "The action, I would suggest, would be to secure by mutual consent an agreement to permanently reduce " the, working hours per week in all textile mills to not over 50; to pay the same weekly wage for 50 hours t&t was paid for 64* 6{> or 60, whatr^r schedule the individual mill*} opersted on; and tyi Thills that operated ~ """ 1 :"JB| - J ' day and night to replace positions left vacant by women workers on the night shift, and to replace, just as far as possible, vacancies appearing among wortien workers on the night shift with men." .

Williford were awak%ned about 3:30 o'clock Thanksgiving morning by a stifling smoke to discover that fire had broken out in the pantry of their home. Mr Williford phoned in the alarm and the fire department made a prompt response and subdued the fire, which ! was not brought under control, however, until the pantry, cook room and dining room had been damaged by the flames and the other rooms and all contents of the building by the thick resinous smoke, which prevented any entry for the purpose of removing the furnishings. Mr. Williford carried insurance on building and contents, but the insurance adjustor had not arrived up to early Tuesday morning for the purpose of adjusting the loss.?Kershaw Era.

Livestock Makes Farming Safer _ f Now that the South ii busy in crowing her dairy herds, she is ready to consider the great value of, other livestock on her farms. This is aa it should be and the county agent keeps his eyes open for abort, snappy articles or paragraphs which give the reasons for more livestock in the Southland. . Under the heading, "Why I Believe in Livestock," in a recent issue of the Southern Agriculturist, he found some very brief statements concerning the value of livestock. Below he is having a few of them reproduced for the benefit of the readers of this column of his: "Livestock on the farm makes the profitable utilization of much farni waste. Often a crop of hay can be taken off the land without disturbing the usual cropping arrangements and stock can be allowed to glean the fields and get a considerable part of j their living while putting on pounds i of llesh. "It is a mistaken conception of livestock farming that it takes such large acreages, or that it means decreased acre production. The South would have a far greater net income per jicre if it more generally includ. ed livestock in its farming program. An acre of corn and soy beans, rationally fertilized and pastured off with hogs that get tankage, will, after the s^pond or third year, return more gross profit than the average acre of cotton or peanuts in the South, or the average net income on tobacco. This can be accomplished at much less outlay of labor, and at the same time thfe-' soil can be wonderfully enriched. A good acre of pasture will produce several times the net profit of an average acre of corn in the South. "Livestock on the farm makes possible profitable all-year employment. "Livestock on the fatm stands for contentment. The boy who grows up on a well managed livestock farm and who has the care of well bred cattle, hogs, and possibly sheep, for part of his duties, will never lose the love of country life." The per capita per day consumption of milk has increased recently in the United States more than, onethird of a quart. This increase amounts to over $500,000,000 annually to the dairy farmer. South Caro lina imports over $10,000,000 of dairy products every year. Folks, Kershaw County is importing a lot of butter. We know this isn't good business. Let's stop it. Get cows. SAVE THE SWEET SPUDS Farmers Urged Not to Dump Potatoes <* on Lowest Markets Clemson College, Dec. 7.?With a rather large sweet potato crop?larger than local markets will absorb? it is necessary to prevent the dumping of the ,crop on the market at any price, says D. W. Watkins, assistant director of the extension service, who urges the use of storage curing houses, or even earth banks, in pvder to distribute sales according to market demands, In fact, Mr. Watkins adds, there it not likely ever to come a time when all the sweet potatoes can be sold within a month or so after harvest. .... Realizing that the advances being made through the sweet potato contest^ might be lost because of bad market conditions, Dr. W. W. Long, director of the extension service, has been in communication with T. B. Young, manager of the Carolinas Cooperatives Consolidated, and has had from Mr; Young the following reply of intere'st fo every grower of sweet potatoes': "We are marketing sweet potatoes very satisfactorily and moving considerable volume with prospects of increased volume soon as Eastern --Shore--cleans- tip, which should be soon. Prospects are will be able market satisfactorily all available sweets of satisfactojy grade produced in this state but it can't" be all done at once as we will need supply continuously from now until hext June. The trouble is that all growers think we should market the entire crop in about four weeks, which is impossible and would mean sacrifice of price. , We will not rush them on the market except under such conditions as can insure Reasonable returns to growers. We are doing all in our power." In the United States court at Florence last Monday, Parnell Meehen,a member of the house of representatives and' fortner postmaster at Chesterfield, was indicted on charges of appropriating government mail to his own use; Meehan ft alleged to have been one of the principal, col?, lectors for Joe W. Tolbert, when Tolbert is alleged to"'Have collected tolls in .this state for handing out Federal Job.. . . Winter Grazing Crop Stimulate Milk Flow i' <)ein?on, Dec. 2.?Winter grazing crops of oata, vetch, bar,ley, rye or Austrian winter peas planted 'early til the fall increase the milk production at a season of the year when the I tendency if toward reduced milk flow Mays J, LaMaster, head of the dairy division. These same plants furnish a coyer crop for the soil that prevents it f^om washing and leaching during the winter. v- ''The cows should not have access | to the winter grazing crops over two or three hours per day," continues Mr La master. "If the growth is reasonably good, the cows will satisfy their appetite^, for this type of feed in a short length of time. They should then be moved to n lot or another pasture to prevent trampling and waste. Cows should have access to th<r*winter grazing crop for one| half hour the first day, and IB minI utes longer each day thereafter un|'il the full allotted time is allowed. "If the crops are planted on a good soil which carries a considerable amount of organic matter, grazing can be permitted even in the Piedmont section when the land is rather wet.' If the land has very little organic matter it will puddle and become so hard that it will be difficult to break in the spring if it is grazed when too wet. "The dry matter in winter grazing crops is more valuable as a feed than grains because it not only contains a high per cent .of protein but the succulent matter tends to stimulate digestive processes and increases the milk flow." ? Members of Post To Visit Kershaw | A contingent of about twenty-five or more members of the LeRoy Belk American Legion Post, of Camden, will go to Kershaw Monday night for the purpose of stimulating interest in the Legion at that place.
