I Plant Vegetables Of Good Quality ClemttoiJ College, Dee. 81.--~T4he time U approaching when the gardener will be searching the eeed catalogue* for varieties pf vegetable* for planting next season, says R. A. McGinty, head of the horticultural div-. ision. The truck grower who sell* in carlot* select* varietiea which ship well while the market gardener chooses thoae varieties which give largo yield# and present an attractive appearance. "Neither shipping quality nor high yield, however, need be considered by the home gardener," continues Mr. McGinty, "His chief concern should be to produce vegetables of the highest table quality. There is littlee excuse for growing stringy beans when there "are so many good stringless varieties available. Sweet corn is so much superior to field-corn for table use that some should be grown even if the yield is not high. During the past year a comparison of Copenhagen market cabbage with Jersey Wakefield, grown undu^ tiie same conditions, rewWHed that the Copenhagen Market variety was much more mild in flavor, and therefore more desirable for tho table, particularly when served as slaw. Similar differences between varieties are quite common and make it necessary for the gardener to be informed if he is to grow those of best quality. The following varieties are considered to have high table-quality, and are also desirable in other respect*," says Mr. McGinty. Beans.?Stringless Greenpod, Sure Crop, Stringless Wax, Kentucky Wonder. Beets.?Detroit Dark Red. Cabbage. ? Copenhagen Market (early) and Perfection Savory (late). Carrots.?Cureless (or Nantes), Chantenay. Corn. ? Golden Bantam (early), Stowell's Evergreen (late).

Feed Cows Carefully For Longer Milking Clemsqn College, Dec. 31.?The lactation periods of many good dairy cows are shortened and udder troubles are started by feeding them too liberally immediately after calving, says J. P. La Master, head of the dairy division. "If the cow is in good flesh at calving time, the following practice is desirable." continues Mr. LnMaster. "The day on which the cow calves feed her only a bran mash made by scalding two pounds of bran with water, and feed while still warm. The second day after calving three pounds of fl. l:ght mixture of equal parts of bran and oats divided into two feeds is sufficient. The third, fourth and fifth days, four pounds of this mixture is sufficient when fed with a good quality hay and 12 to lh pounds of silage per day. Beginning with the sixth dav the light grain mixture can be increased one pound every other day. "After this practice has been carled for la days, and if the cow is doing well, the regular herd mixture i which should he composed of a highei protein content, can be gradually -ubstituted for the light mixture of equal parts of ground oats anil wheat hi an. The cow should not be put on a full fet : of 'Jtl or 2-1 per cent pro ein g- . ration until she has been : miking tween three ai ! four ; a. ok-.

Farmers Urged To Retain Lands {Jolumbia, Jan. 4.?Assorting that market values of South Carolina land have "reached rock lx>ttom" and predicting that the "immediate future will hold n larger demand for farm lands," the South Carolina natural resources commission today issued a statement urging owners to "hold on to their laridrf until they get back to their normal values." Present market values should not U' regarded as a true index to the real worth of South Carolina farm lands, the statement declares. r. The greater demand for farm lands which the statement predicts, will bring a "larger value, for farm lands than at any time since the decline began." The statement follows: "Based upon information which it has correlated from every county in the state, the South Carolina natural resources commission desires to : state to the owners of farm lands thut its judgment is that these lands J have struck rock bottom in market t values. "The commission, <it its December .'51st meeting, directed John K. Aul^, its executive secretary, to ask the newspapers of South Carolina to say to the people of the state that, upon u careful consideration of all the facts before it, it feels that the immediate future necessarily will hold a larger demand, and that there will be a larger value for farm lands than at any time since the decline began. "The annual report of the ccwnmission to the General Assembly will go into details along this line. Not only will the high iodine content of South Carolina foods Joe noted, but the other phases of what appears to the commission will be the most marked advance in the economic and industrial future of the state, will be stressed. , One woman was killed and seven persons were hurt by an explosion of dynamite at Seat Pleasant, Md., Wednesday. The dynamite came in the mail to the home of John S. Hall, wrapped in Christmas wrappings and exploded when opened. Investigation of the room where the explosion occurred developed the fact that the bomb had been filled with nails and slugs, but where the package came from or why it was sent, remains a mystery. i COMFORT 1 15 the new mode ?

Nor light upon kerosene oil lamps. People*s ideas about comfort have changed in the last few years. A house heated evenly and com* fortably in winter, a bathroom or two, lota of hot water, light at the tarn of a switch?these are in every home today. Another Item in the mode of comfort which is being more sad more insistently demanded adequate telephone*. Americana learned long ago that they couldn't get along without a telephone. Not merely a telephone, but enough telephones.
