Produces Big Hens
Wins On Big Eggs
Clfemson College, Mareh 21.?'Early
hatching unci proper feeding of his
White Hock flock of hens has won
for S, K. Crick, Pinopolis, Berkeley
county, a reputation for superior
birds which produce extra large egga,
as shown by the fact that Mr, Crick
has recently won first prize of $10
in u contest sponsored by a chain
store in Philadelphia on size of eggs.
"The manager of this chain oi grocery
stores having received numerous
complaints from customers about
small eggs, offered prizes for the
largest two dozen eggs," says P. II*
Gooding, extension poultryman, telling
of Mr. .Crick's experience. "Mr.
Crick, learning of the contest and
realizing that he was getting large,
uniform eggs, decided to go after the
money. In three days', time he selected
from his 150 White Rock hens
two dozen eggs which weighed 63Vu
ounces. These wtue the largest eggs
entered in the flffntest and not uny
of them had double yolks.
"In addition to laying large eggs
Mr. Crick's birds are high producers
and also exhibition birds," Mr. Gooding
continues. "His egg production
is 75 per cent at present and his birds
averaged 180 eggs each last year. He
entered ten birds in the Charleston
Poultry Show and won nine premiums?four
firsts, three seconds and
two thirds. One of his male birds
won first in his class for three years
in succession at the State hair.
"Mr. Crick says that his birds grow
large because he hatches early, uses
an all-mash system of feeding, and
grows out the pullets well."
Future Farmers
Interested In Poultry
The agricultural class of the ( amden
high school is making poultry
one of the major enterprises in their
supervised practice program this year
under the supervision of the agricultural
teacher. Twenty-six of- t o
Future Farmers hpve purchased
2,240 baby chicks, ^he Future Farmer
Chapter purchased these chicks
co-operatively and saved $10.00 by |
so doing. These chicks c?W from
some of the best blooded flocks in-|
the state. The breeds these boys are
growing are Barred Hocks and Rhode
Island Reds.
These Future Farmers have constructed
ten brooder houses and eight
brick brooders. They will have completed
eight laying houses by this
fall to house the pullets.
The boys are mixing their feed ou ^
of yellow corn meal, wheat bran,
wheat shorts, dried butter milk, mea
scraps, bone meal and salt,
have already mixed one ton of
feed for their chicks.
Some of the chicks will be sold for
broilers and fryers and a large number
of the chicks will be sold as ca-.
nons The pullets will be put in layin*
houses this tall and take the
place of the scrub home flock.
This is one of the largest poultry
projects undertaken by any school in
the state. These boys will have fried
chicken on other days than Sunday.

By the will of the late Mrs. Anne
Weightman Walker Penfield, Philadelphia's
richest woman, she disposes
of something over $20,000,000, the |
most of it going to seven nieces and
nephews, with good big slices of it
going to universities and institutions.
Her estate at one time estimated
at $65,000,000. Due to shrinkage of
values in stocks, bonds, etc., the value
is about one-third that figure.
A consent verdict of $2,500 was
granted the plaintiff Friday in the
court at Anderson in the case of
James Hunnicutt, 16, against the
Kquinox Mills of Anderson. The
youth sought damages for injuries
alleged to have been sustained when

Gardening Pays
Union Family
. Union, March 21.?An acre of
ground snitched from a cotton field
on the Douglas Edwards farm in this
county and made into a vegetable
garden produced a total of $4th>,05 in
value of vegetables and left a net
profit of $.'45H,30 after expenses totaling
$112.75 including all costs of
seed, fertilization, poisons and $50 for
upkeep of car for delivery, according
to Mrs. Kdwards* account of her experience
and carefully kept record.
"This is but another illustration of
the money value of the farm garden,"
says A. E. Schillotter, extension horticulturist
in charge of the garden
contest, who is now busy with the
contest for ?P32.
Some statements from Mrs. Edwards'
account are illuminating:
"1 studied the garden letters from
Clemson and Winthrop, thus learning
what,, to plant at regular intervals
and how to combat the insects of
which I had my share during the
summer, hut was able to combat them
without serious damage.
"In January I took a catalog and
decided what I wished to grow in my
garden and ordered the seed. I
planned my garden so as to'have
all vegetables that would mature at
the samo period planted together, in
order to more easily prepare the
ground for a seeond crop. In that
way the Aground was kept busy all
the year instead of n one em>p garden.
1 did most of the work of cultivation
with the wheel plow and hoe.
I "During the drought last fall I tried
I to keep a dust mulch by shallow cultivation,
and still planting at regular
intervals, and when it did rain 1 had
a good stand of winter vegetables
that have been both healthful and
profitable. I found it a pleasure and
a profit; and after keeping an exact
record I found I had raised 31 varieties;
made 3,061 servings to the
family, have 315 quarts 'of canned
fruit and vegetables, two bushels of
onions, 15 bushels of Irish potatoes,
45 pounds of salad seed, one peck of
shelled Lima beans, 10 bushels of
sweet potatoes, five bushels of white
peas, five bushels of peanuts for winter'
use.
"My husband ami 1 did all the work
in HID hours and 150 hours of horse
labor, but. wo feel well repaid in the
health, pleasure and profit we ^eal- '
i/ed from this plot."
The bo(Ky of Terrell M. Kugan,
president of the Continental National
bank, of Boston, was found in tho
garage at his Brooklino homo Tuesday,
dead from carbon monoxide
poisoning, ltagan was said to be the

and was aged 37 years. The
affairs of the hank of which he was
the head were being investigated by
a grand jury, the bank having been
