I Forests Are More Than Mere Timber ' 4 The use of forest land should not stop with the growing; of timber, We can, as well iih not, derive from it Jarge additional services of several kinds. Forest lands are natural recreational areas, many of them ocj curring in the more remote and mountainous districts, and forest cover constitute one of their greatest charms. They can be made to better the national health, through outdoor recreation and to supply food in the | form of game, Wild life of all kinds will add to their appeal. The water power which is now, and will be even more in the future, one of our outstanding resources, depends largely upon forest growth for the regulation of stream flow and the prevention of silting in reservoirs. Water supplies j for irrigation also depend upon a permanent forest cover. The forest problem of the United States is one of our outstanding social and economic problems. It is not too much to say that we must have timber and that we must^use the land. Fortunately the solution of both these phases of the forest problem lies in one and the same measure, the growing of timber on this land. Magniflcient virgin forests have shown the possibilities our task is to help nature repeat what she has done and improve upon it. We can also produce game for food, create opportunities for recreation and insure the maximum utility of streams for navigation, water power and irrigation.?iChas. W. Nuite, the County Forester. Grow Feed Crops At No Extra Labor Cost iClemson (College, June/ 18. -4 At leant ten more acres of corrt or other feed crops are possible when a twohorse cultivator is used in place of single plows," says J. T. McAlister, extension agricultural engineer, who I has just completed a series of 17 demonstration meetings in 16 counties, showing the various operations and adjustments thVt can be made to make the work Vof these labor-savers more efficient. '3 According to cotton contest and tier records of the Extension Sere it requires 66 hours of labor up to the time of harvest to grow an acre of cotton when .single plows are used< This includes all operations of land preparation, hoeing, etc. When two-horse cultivators are used only 34 hours of labor are necessary. "This," Mr. McAlister points out,-"is a net saving W 31 hours per acre; and on 20 acres of cotton this would amount to 620 hours, which would permit the growing of as much as 20 acres of other crops in addition to cotton. These additional feed crops will make any farm more secure under present conditions and permit the lowering of production on cash crops. "Many farmers are now using twohorse cultivators who have not used them heretofore. _ .Some say they could not farm without them. As many as 50 acres of row crops are being handled with two mules, one man, and a cultivator." State News Items Newberry county has 52 qualified candidates this year. There are ten candidates for auditor, ten for the house of representatives, fo\ir for sheriff and two for the state senate. On liis return from the Republican national convention, J. C.

Cv?.inai> 3aiiey, ot the historical commission of South Carolina, has received from the makers an iron marker to be placed on the highway north of Lancaster with an arrow pointing to the birthplace of Andrew Jackson, in the NVaxhaw section of Lancaster county and the inscription, "Where he himself said he was born," one-fourth of a mile from here The marker is similar to the many seen in Virginia by the roadsides, and was made by the same Richmond company which I makes tho.-e for Virginia, which really marks it- historic spots, while the South Carolina legislature appropriated $250 for marking those in this state.
