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).
Celery.?Giant Pascal.
Lettuce.?New York (Iceberg type)
and Mignonette (small-heading).
Musk melon. ? Edward's Perfecto
(or Superfecto).
Onions.?Swete Spanish (Dania,
Valinchia, Giant, Gibraltar).
Peas.?Laxtonian.
Tomatoes. ? Brimmer, Marglobe
(wilt-resistant).
Turnip.?Purple Top Globe.
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

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 ? ' I
C^ONE Are tl*? day* "when
C J grandma was a'girl.** No
longer do we rise to find ice in the
pitcher on winter mornings, liathIng
does not depend on kettles of
hot water from the old stove. 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. Not a (tingle
instrument, but extension tcle,
phones at convenient locations i
throughout the home?in the liv>
ing room, in the kitchen, in the
bedrooms ? tq afford the maximum
of comfort and the greatest
usefulness of this indispensable
service.

strenuous protests and criticisms of
