f Test Cotton Seed Advises Clemson Clemson . CoU*0. MO'ch 15.?To date 976 samples of cotton seed have been tested by the Extension Ser- j vice at Clemson College for farmers of the state, and these samples have averaged only 68 per cent germination, many samples having tested from 20 per cent down to zero. Even the general average of 08 per cent is too low for safety in planting, says K. W. Hamilton, extension agronomist, who urges that farmers will be very unwise to plant seed without testing them to be assured of reasonably high germination. Warnings regarding the testing of cotton seed for planting have been issued several times from Clemson Cdllege, from Commissioner of Agriculture J. W. Shealy, and from State Warehouse Commissioner J. C. Kivers; and Mr. Hamilton is issuing this final warning so that farmers who wish, to have their seed tested free by Clemson College may send samples labeled with name and address to R. W. Hamilton, Extension Service, Clemson College, S. C. Major A. L. 'Burwinkle of Gastonia, and former congressman from the ninth North Carolina district, has definitely announced that he will be a candidate in the approaching Democratic primaries for thp office for which he was defeated by Charles A. Jonas, Republican. NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS The time for paying State, County and School taxes for year 1929 has been extended to May 1st, 1930.

Blyther Fingerprints: If there is one word in the police lexicon which strikes terror to the criminal heart, it U this one. Finger print# are the one Incontrovertible bit of evidence which no alibi, nor bribe, nor intimidation, nor time itself can avail against. I know that it Bounds exaggerated T'? finger print men come out boldly and assert, "There are no two finger prints in the world that are exactly alike." What we mean is, that since the science* of finger print identification was established, there have never been found two finger prints that are exactly alike. This fact is not so astounding, however, when we consider the source of these patterns. Nature never duplicates, not even in tiny details. Take the leaves of the trees for example. One oak leaf resembles another oak leaf in design, but if you take two leaves which seem to be alike and study them closely, you will see that there are many differences. 1 hen study the two halves of one leaf. Even they are not symmetrical. Under the microscope, two petals from one tiny flower, two wings from the same mosquito, two blades of grass that have grown side by side, are not exactly alike. Only articles that are made by machines are duplicated with exactitude. Nature always changes the pattern. We do not -often come across two men who look exactly alike. But there are cases of "doubles," persons who not only look alike, bui whose bone measurements are exactly alik.e Nature has made these two men of one mold?except for their finger prints.? For even in cases of exact doubles that have been discovered by identification experts, the doubles were exactly alike in all things but their finger prints. This is why the finger print system is the only infallible system of identification in existence today. The finger print system is often spoken of as a new science. When we speak of the finger print system as a new science we mean that the present system of giving a name to the various styles of patterns, and the method of placing, them in files or compartments where they can be quickly found, ' has only been perfected in the past few years. Over a. thousand years ago the Chinese monarchs used their thumb prints on documents as a sign manual. This is really the first use of finger prints of which we have any record. Today finger prints are used as .1 positive means of identification and they are of great value in establishing the identity of persons who have criminal records or persons who have left their finger prints at the scene Of crime. Finger prints are just as important in determining the innocence of a person accused of a crime as they are in establishing guilt. There have been cases without number where persons arrested and strongly suspected of having committed some crime, have been proven innocent through fingerprints that were photographed at the scene of crime, and have won their freedom through finger prints where, ha<J fingerprints not beeh present, they might have beeh tried for the crime. 1 'On the Occurrence of a crime, such as burglary, entering, breaking in, he ld-up or robbery, it .js^very important that you touch nothing or iet any one else touch anything about the premises until the officers have investigated the crime and decided wbethet or not there is a chance , of securing finger prints. In almost cv?ry ease a criminal will leave a few prints, and these may help to solve a case which otherwise might b? hopeless and impossible. Many times finger prints that have been photographed at the scene of crime, are the only means whereby we can put the criminal where he belongs after he is apprehended. We will say that he has taken jewelry or money or any other article in fact and has disposed of it in such a manner that wc are unable to discover its whereabouts or connect the articles wtih him oven though they be recov ered, then the finger prints, if w< have been able to secure them at th< scene of crime, will go into evidenc< and convict the criminal. I work harmoniously and co-oper atively with the law forces of Ker shaw county, and wo have the lates finger print equipment. Thus, im mediately upon finding that a crim< has been perpetrated, advise you Sheriff, J. H. McUeod, of the same and do not disturb or touch anythinj until the officers arrive. Finger prints found on the seen of a crime should at all costs b preserved and conserved and devel I oped and photographed at once, a thi* mean* the infallible identifies- I' tion of the responsible ?*rty. Tree As Monument To Man <1 Kent, O., March 16.?For the first ti time in history, a living tree has * been made to serve a* a monument 8 to a man whose life work is finished t: and as a "cornerstone" in which has been laid away the record of his ? origination of a science which made u him famous. A The tree is an American elm, 60 t feet in height and 1# inches in diam- u eter, which was taken from a forest r arid replanted today at the entrance i: to Koosevelt high school as a memor- t iul to John I)avey, father of tree sur- n tfery. v A cavity nearly a foot deep wa? t cut in the trunk of the tree and in c the niche so formed was placed a ii copy of his book, "The Tree Doctor" h the book which made known his f conception of a new science. fc Th? cavity was then filled with fc sectional concrete according to the ? principles which Davey originated. > The wound will start to heal im- a mediately.

"The moot practical method of preerviug egga on the farm is by the se of water glass/' continues Mr. lorgan. "When preserving eggs by his method an earthen jar should be , sed, although tin vessels free from ust huve been used with entire satsfaction. The vessel should be horoughly cleaned and scalded. A uixtu^e of one part of commercial k'uter glass to nine parts of wuter hut lias been boiled and previously ooled should be made and placed n the container. The eggs may then >e added each day a? gathered. Only vesh eggs with sound shells should >e used. The jar or container should te covered to prevent evai>oration. should some of the liquid evaporate, nore water can be added to bring the olution up to the original amount. The same precaution should be foltwed in regard to boiling the water. The eggs should be stored in a reasmab.ly cool place. A cellar is very atisfactory. "One quart of water glass and line quarts of water will be sufficient to preserve 15 dozen eggs. These can be placed in an eight-galon jar or tin container. Eggs preserved in this manner are entirely satisfactory for cooking. If they are boiled a hole must be punched in the large end to prevent bursting. By preserving eggs at this season the winter supply may be obtained at fbout half price."
