Garrett, Greenville chaingang guard in 1020. Just before the electrodes were put in pluce Blakely carried on a laughing conversation with several persons in the death chamber, denying that one of them had "been on the Greenyille chaihgang when he was caught., ,. One asked him if E. D. Whitmire, wno was in the room, was on the chaingang. sure wasn't," the negro said. Mrs. G. 0. Howard, daughter of Garrett, said as 'Blakely was being removed from the de?th chamber, "It was fine. I feel the "beat I've ever felt." As the electrodes were being put in place. Blakely mumbled, "God be with me." "I've made my peace with God," he said jpfreviously when Ool. J. N. Pearman, superintendent of the (penitentiary, asked him if he had any statement to make. The negro said he had told the truth. "Are you guilty, Norman, with what you are charged?" Superintendent Pearman asked. "Yes, sir, I sure am," he declared. When the current was applied Blakely's face was frozen into a half smile. Twenty-three hundred volts (went through the young negro's body instead of the usual 1,300, when a switch was thrown up instead down. The lesser amount would have'? been enough to kill him, penitentiary' officials said. As spectators were waiting outside the death house, (Blakely, with two negro preachers who attended him, gang out^ in full voice-"Nearer My God to 'f'hee." When the song was finished all remained quiet until he Was brought into the death house a few minutes later. fx" .

G, Godbey, sasociate .animal husbandman, South Carolina experiment station, Clemson College, S. C., is in answer 'to the .county agent's inquiry regarding l?t#?t feet* on heg?foeding: x "I J^lieve that the mixture of equal porta of fishmeal and cottonseed meal is the most economical supplement to use with corn for fattening hogs. This mixture can be fed to any type of hog?either breeding or fattening?and may be safely fed to pigs that have just weaned. The only essentials are that ?the mixture be actually made in equal parts and that plenty of corn be fed with it. We have gotten our best results with fattening hogs by using this mixture in one trough or self-feeder and corn in another, allowing all of both that the animals would eat. The raifcture does not give much faster gains than styaight fish meal but it does give cheaper gains. "Recent tests have shown that cdtused, alone for" netiiui hogs up to as much as' 12 per cent- of the ration. However, 1 do dot think this dbsirable, because cottonseed meal alone is not a satisfactory supplement to corn, and of course there will occasionally be some bad results from feeding it alone. I would suggest that it always be fed in combination with some such supplement he tankago'ey. fishmeal, -and* thai ii.t? uwdflargely for fattening hogs;" : A Order ^for Keryihaw county farmers to^mahe. the greatest hef'profit on their hogs they nwiat ^hit the cost of production in every /way that Is practicable. With fishmeal at ?3.50 per l(j0 pounds and cottonseed meal at ?lJ50j>ey J*)0 pounds ($28.00 per ton) we cah taake a saving of ?1.60 by mixing 60 pounds of fishmeal nnd 50 pounds of cottonseed meal. As set forth above this mixture gives just as good results according to reliable experiments as does fishmeal feed' as the only source of proteins. This combination of cottonseed meal with fUhmeal gives a saving , of approximately 29 per cent, on the cost of the protein feed. Our farmers must produce something SS^rotton alone and all jinlii ,ll'i^WfDf to>ogs as our best crop to edd'io our program and of course vm>need to produce them at as low a cost per pound as possible therefore it it important that our farmers study , the business side of hog prodtiu&n* and I strongly recommend that the subject of proper feeding U given careful consideration and deep study. For additional information on hog production see or write your county agent.
