Profitable Pork
From Ton Litters
Columbia, March 14.?Among the
13 litters which completed the 180day
feeding period and made a ton
or more of pork in the 1031 ton litter
contest conducted under the county
farm agents and the extension animal
husbandmen, the 10-pig litter of
J. H. Thomas, Orangeburg county,
won first place with a total weight of
2581 pounds, says J. R. Hawkins, extension
animal husbandman. This
average weight of 1585 pounds pef pig
was second heaviest average weight
per pig, the heaviest average being
made by the seven-pig litter of J. H.
Culler, Jr., another Orangeburg farmer,
whose pigs averaged 304
pounds. v
Eleven pigs in a litter grown out
by,Henry Lightsey, Hampton, won
second place in the contest, with
2823 pounds, or 256.6 pounds per pig.
The 12-pig litter of' H. P. Lee, Clarendon,
came third, 2720 pounds; the
12-pig litter of R. J. Salley, Orangeburg,
fourth, 2602 pounds; the 10-pig
litter of-B. F. Kneissen, Richland,fifth,
2405 pounds; and the 12-pig
litter of Silas Walker, colored, Clarendon,
sixth, 2418 pounds.
Others in the contest making a ton
or more of pork per litter included
Frank Cain, Sumter, 2279 pounds on
10 pigs; Roy Bessinger, Bamberg,
2212 pounds on 11 pigs; J. M. Fogle,
Orangeburg, 2148 pounds on 10 pigs;
E. E. Stevens, Dillon, 2102 and 2097
popnds on two litters of 10 pigs
each; J. P. McGill, Williamsburg,
2040 pounds on 12 pigs.
The experience of the ton-litter
feeders in 1931 bears out again, says
Mrv "Hawkins, the good purpose of
the work?to secure rapid economic
production by good feeding and management
from birth; for without exception
these ton-litter pigs showed
a return for the labor and other
charges after paying for the feed.
The cost of gains ranged from $3.21
to $5.49 per hundred pounds. The
prize money, donated by several
Richmond commission merchants to
stimulate interest in hog production
was therefore used to good purpose?"

school was out. Real good teachers
were paid enormous salaries of from
$20.00 to $30.00 per month, that is.
they were promised that by our (laddies,
and sometimes some of them
paid a portion of it. The public did
not pay for little things like schools
liien.
..All of my 9 brothers and sisters
carried their dinners in separate
buckets....to avoid fights ai .big re
cess. I can see my dinner right now:
2 big biscuits that I bored hole- tn
with n\y finger and poured therein
some ho-made sorghum, and 1 generally
had a dessert consisting <>t a
piece of fried sweet potato, or possibly
a flitter. (That's what we called
fried bread). Nothing has ever
been half so good to me as those
school dinners.
Occasionally our teacher would go
to sleep during big recess and the
guy that made a noise loud enough
io wake him up got a good humping
on a stump the next day. I remembe
once... he slept all the afternoon,
and after we had pl.\ye<L tili
time to go home, we all went and
Irft him still wrapped in the arms of
Morpheus. We learned a little about
spelling and reading and played stinkbase
and 2-holey-cat, but not much
else. I graduated in the 8th gra e
and then I was too big to go to school
and I stopped and stayed stopped, as
you possibly know by now.
Recluse Passes
At Great Age
New York, Mar. 12.?Mrs. Ida K.
Wood, who lived as u million dollar,
hermit in the heart of Manhattan
since the panic of 11*07, died here today
of pneumonia. Her years were
93 and her memories of a bygone day
were priceless.
She died in the third-rate hotel in
Herald square where she had lived
a recluse's life for nearly a quarter
of a century,
Ida Wood was the widow of Benjamin
Wood, brother of a New York
mayor and publisher of a Democratic
newspaper in the time of Abraham
Lincoln. Once she danced with Edward,
Prince of Wales. She was a
social leader for 20 years during the
post-Confederate war period.
Her story rema,ine<f her own until
last summer, when her kinfolk found
she had been living alone since the
death of her sister, Mary. She had
refused medical or legal advice and
almost starved herself by cooking
meager meals over a gas burner.
?When "her "nephew, Otis F. Wood,
was appointed guardian her secret
world tumbled at her feet. Under her
protesting eyes ami in spite of her I
I
grumbling words, a search of her I
belongings unearthed nearly a million
dollars in mouldy currency and
coins, an equal amount of jewels and I
invaluable mementoes of her intrigu- J
ing past.
Four hundred thousand dollars
were taken from a brown paper parcel
in her faded taffeta frock and
$500,000 more from a secret pocket
in her skirt.
Other findhi^were a gold-headed
cane President Monroe gave her father-in-law,
a set of the "Tragedies of
Mr. William Shakespeare," printed in
1728, with a preface by Ben Jonson,
a family Bible dated 1750, silks and
satins and laces and society programs
encrusted with age.
Her gruding confession revealed
that she had never trusted banks too
much and that after the panic of
1007 she virtually had withdrawn her
trust in mankind.
Many were the tales she told her
intimates of her holiday, such as the
time she toured Africa with $700,000
tied to her wrist in a paper bag.
Her determined head bowed at last
and she was given the last rites of
the Roman Catholic church this
morning. She will be buried in Oal
vary cemetery Monday after a requiem
at St. Francis' church,
Friday last was the 57th anniversary
of the beginning of the use of
the telephone as a speaking device in
the United -States. Already telephone
users in the United States can
converse with users in 10 others continents.
These connections comprise
a network of $.'12,750,000 telephones,
or more than 02 per cent of all such
instruments in the world. It will bp
only a short time until virtually all
of the remaining connections will bo
possible in the opinion of government
communication exj>orts.
