THIRTY YEARS AGO (NOTE: Owing to the fact that several j?agen t*f our files for 1002 have been lost The (Chronicle will have to omit the thirty year ago feature until January 2, J9&1.) Election Results Show Less Cast > * ? In Tuesday's general election a total of 056 vote* were cast for state and county officers?each Receiving the same number of votes. Amendment number tw.q.x&lating.to the changing of the . fiscal year rib suited in a vote of 205 for and 169 ugainst. In the presidential election it is said a good many more votes were cast than at the state boxes. A partial tabulation of the Federal roturns gathered from sixteen out of 26 precints show that Roosevelt electors received 706 votes, while the Hoover electors got the small number of 8 votes. It is said that 6 of the latter votes were cast at the Camden precinct while one each were cast at Chites Ford and Bethunc. Very few ! colored people appeared at the polls throughout the county. The vote this year will show a falling olT from tharof the Smith-Hoover race of 1028, due, it is said, to the fact that many had failed to pay their poll taxes and were therefore barred from voting.

Make Pullets Lay With Wet Mash Clemson College, Nov. 5.?The trend in egg prices has continued upward and a poultry flock in oQ- per cent production now is just as profitable us is u ihx-k laying SO jn-r cent through the spring and summer months when egg prices are lower, says 1'. 11. Gooding, extension poultryman. who believes that increasing the pullets ta 30 per cent production at this time is a vital factor in increasing profits. Properly housed jmllets have had time, he thinks, to adjust themselves to new conditions so they should V ready to produce j high-priced fall and winter eggs. * | It i's generally conceded that feeding a wet mash has a tendency to increase feed consumption and stimulate egg production. Mr. Gooding adi vises that the wet mash be mixed 'with skim in; Ik if it us available. Instead of- a sloppy mixture, he suggests just enough liquid to make the mash crumbly an<i- that it be fed to the birds at noon in troughs, though some poultrymen feed it about 4 p. m. and get good results. Other poultry-, men are keeping grain before the birds and feeding a wet mash just before the birds go to roost. It is In'st to mix only enough for one feeding at a time, say three to four ! pounds per hundred birds, which they will clean up in 10 to Irr -minutes. Plenty of grain in addition to the regular laying mash is suggested for !the pullets. A grain mixture of 70 pounds of corn and 30 pounds of wheat, or yellow corn alone may be used. If plenty of grain is fed it will lessen the danger of a neck molt which often lowers the year's profit.
