THE STRETCHOUT SYSTEM OF
30 YEARS AGO
.. When I was a boy, everybody and
his daddy and his granddaddy went
possum hunting occasionally, if not
oftener. My brothers and I owped
2 of the .finest possum dogs that ever
treed a polecat: they were Ipvingly
known to us as Taylor and Penny.
. .Penny was the scent-finder while
Taylor was the chaser and tree-er;
we had another old dog that did most
of the barking, and while we carried
him was us on certain occasions, we
didn't enjoy his company. He wa??
too lazy to keep up with us, and when
he got lost, he'd howl and howl till
we went hack and toted him the balance
of the way.
Our most successful possum hunt
took place one cold November night.
We had pulled corn ull day and were
tired, but we didn't mind walking
50 or 00 miles in u night if it was
good possum weather. (We always
tried to get back home by daylight. . .
just in time to feed the mules and
cows). We got started with lanterns,
dogs, uxes, saws, torches and other
paraphernalia about 9 o'clock.
..We didn't have much luck during
the first 20 miles and 4 hours, hut
old Penny sme.lt something and in
less than 15 minutes, old Talyor had
tretxl it. This particular possum had
selected the largest white oak tree in
the forest: it measured about 9 f<^et
around the butt, but that didn't mean
unything to us. We began to cut and
saw, after shining old man possum's
eyes on the top limb, about 95 feet
up.
. .That big tree finally surrendered to
our tools and fell to .the ground. The
dogs were ready and waiting for our
o ; , a
i ii *? r- ? * ^
'
quarry. No sooner hud the Kin# of
the Forest hit the -ground.... till old
Fenny grabbed that varmint. He
was a possum ull right, and was just
about the size of an ordinary rut.
Wt- didn't even try to keep the dogs
from shaking the life out of him.
We wasted 2 hours work and wore
out 2 axes and 1 cross-cut saw for
that little bunch otf hair and hide.
..About every 15 miles of territory
covered, we'd build a fire and rest
awhile. On? of the favorite stunts
of a possum dog is to get wringing
wet and come up close to his friends
and shake himself. That act usually
put out our ftre and half drowned
us besides. Folks who have never
gone possum hunting and birdthrashing
have much to live for. If
we had allowed ourselves 5 cents per
hour while hunting, every possum
we ever caught would have cost us
75 dollars per pound. When wo mistook
a skunk for a possum, we had
to avoid polite society for several
weeks, and that was mighty frequent.

..our young folks had a music festible
at the school audy-torium friday

concerned, the main feature of the
program was "turkey in the straw,"

..an egg-laying contest starts in our
midst within the next few days, our
fambly entered into a contest last
year, but we were completely outlaid
by mrs. harris green, our troubble
was....we used dommineckers and
they commenced to set shortly after
putting out 15 eggs: she featured
nothing but plymouth rocks of the

Situation Demands
Wise Planning
Clemson College, June 6.?-"Tho
continual irregulur drift of farm
prices to lower levels is confusing
farmers as to what to do or what to
grow," says D. W. Watkins, assistant
director of the Extension Service,
who adds that "attempting to grow
'what the nvarket demands' as expressed
in prices seems to lead like a
jack-o-lantern further into the morass
of low prices. With hog prices
41 per cent of pre-war, cotton 42 per
cent, cottonseed 44 per cent, corn 47
per cent, poultry products 60 per
cent, dairy products 69 per cent, vegetables
and fruits 80 per cent, and all
groups together 66 per cent, it is
olear that the debt-paying power of
farm commodities is relatively poor.
In contrast, the retail prices of
things farmers buy are declining
more gradually, being as a whole now
at 112 per cent of pre-war.
"The disparity in the buying and
selling price levels shown puts the
brake down hard M>n the normal paying
of debts and the buying of goods
by farmers. This may be ofl^et to
some extent by lowering such of the
costs of production as can be lowered
and in some cases by adopting methods
that enable the individual to increase
his output. The situation,
however, has reached the stage of an
emergency in which farm values are
seriously undermined and farm people
are having to give first attention
to a self-sustaining type of farming."
Instead of being a thne for launching
new farm enterprises for profit,
it seems to Mr. Watkins more appropriate
now to look out for the food
and shelter needs of the family while
applying the best known methods to
the production and marketing of
those cash crops with which the individual
already has experience.
"It is well enough to remember,"
Mr. Watkins concludes, "that while
hogs or yearlings sell for very little
cash they will if cured or canned satisfy
just as much hunger as ever.
Now is the time to get a list, such
as is available through the home
demonstration agent, of the food requirements
of a family, and plan, to
can, cure, dry and preserve enough
to insure a sufficient and a balanced
supply. This will become more
acutely necessary with the continuuance
of the price situation which
holds two dangers: first, that next
winter will find too many farm people
with insufficient food; second,
that what has been learned in recent
years as to the necessity of a properly
balanced diet will be forgotten,
with bad effects on the vitality -and
health of the farm population."
Salvatore Spitale, one of the "mystery
men" in the Lindbergh case, was
arrested by New York police, early
Friday morning when the police suddenly
raided the Playtime club in
Broadway's bright light district. He
was held on a charge of violating the
anti-firearms law.
sion last week at the county seat
courthouse, archer winned the verdict
and dannie is to pay him for the
dog he shot behind the smokehouse
and the figures on her Is to be let
by a board of arbertration. dannie
says if it is over .-c75 that he will
appeal to the supreme coart and carry
it on 3 more years, she was a
hound dog. dannie says she was
nursing his eggs.

Mr. Verd Peterson, the main speaker
of the evening, gave a very inspiring
and timely address using as
his subject, "The Three 'fe's?iBread,
Brotherhood and Beauty." He cited
the fact that these would soon be sub-^
stituted for the three R's, now seemingly
so necessary in the formation
of the, school curriculum. His address
drew very favorable comments from
a goodly number of those present.
The main address was followed by
a musical selection by the high school
boys' chorus, "<Sweet and Ix>w," and

Cash In On Roosters
And Save More Eggs
11
Clemson College, June 4.?With the
hatching season over, P. H. Gooding,
extension poultryman, advises that
the roosters be sold convertedinto
cash. This will also save many
eggs, he says, because during the
hot summer months, the greatest
single loss occur# from heated and
incubated eggs. A fertile egg begins
to incubate at 70 degrees. Blood
rings develop after a few days and
render the eggs unfit for food. An
infertile egg will deteriorate under
excessive heat but it is much more
stable than a fertile "one.
Losses from this cause can be prevented
by observing the following
practices suggested by Mr. Gooding:
Remove all males from the flock as
soon as the hatching season is over.
Males are not necessary for egg production,
and fertile eggs wilPnot keep
their qualities in warm weather. Remove
all broody hens from the nest
promptly. The body temperature of
a broody hen is 104 degrees and will
reduce the quality of an egg in a
few hours' time. Gather the eggs
twice a day in hot weather, and place
them in a cool room. Market eggs
twice a week, even though there is a
temptation to hold longer to fill the
basket or case.
A big rayon mill at Elizabethtown,
Tenn., has posted notice that it will
cease operations on June 13 for an
indefinite period. More than 1,500
employes will bo thrown out of work.
Criminal charges against' Albert B.
Fall, Harry F. Sinclair and Edward
L. Doheny, growing out of the Teapot
Dome oil case, have been dismissed
by a Fedefal court in Washington.
v
The death toll as the result of last
week's floods sweeping over portions
of Oklahoma City, had reached seven,
according to reports of iSunday.v .
was given by the superintendent
which was followed by an expression
of appreciation for the cooperation
on the part of everyone connected
with the school. Those receivingi
diplomas from the school were Wil-1
leen Huckabee, Mildred Owens and
Mary Lois Truesdell. Twenty-seven
certificates of promotion were awarded
those entering: the"high school department
next year.

BENEATH the graceful, big-car beauty of today's

Var beyond the limits of the average driver's needs,

And cannon-balling across the continent, faster than

These are records for any car to env y, yet they arc trivial
