Ben DeLoache Pleases Critics - - : --v ;H Benjamin Dela>ache, one of the most gifted of the younger baritones, gave a recital in tho auditorium of the Ethical Culture society yesterday before a large matinee audience. His program would have been formidable for a singer of many more years' experience but Mr. DeLoache applied himself to the task with assurance and was, with but very'few exceptions, equal to tho task. His voice is strong, with a rich, sympathetic tone and ia capable of a considerable variety of expression. Moreover ho sings with an artistry that has continued to grow year by year since 1927, when he .was a runnerup in the Atwater Kent radio contest. Mr. DeLoache opened his program with a group of songs in Italian by Scarlatti, Perl, Beethoven and Mozart. Of these, Peri's "Invocazione di Orfeo" and Beethoven's "In Questa Tomba" were the best suited to the singer's style. The exacting "Se Vuol Ballare" from Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro" which brought this group to a close calls for somewhat more finesso than Mr. DeLoache is yet able to give it. An arrangement by Myra Hess of Bach's chorale, "Josu, Joy of Man's Desiring," was one of the most distinctive offerings of the afternoon. The arrangement lies well for the young singer's voice and he treated it with a sensitive artistry. The piano part for the chorale is exceptionally well arranged and was played by Sylvan Levin with all the refinement for which it calls. There followed two groups of songs in German which Mr. Deloache sang with excellent diction and in which he displayed frequently a fine dramatic talent. Some of the outstanding of these songs the Schubert's "Die Nebensonnen," in which the singer achieved an excellent effect with a well controlled pianissimo; Rubinstein's "Der Asra," in which he effectively observed the narrative quality of the song, and Brahm's "O Tod! O Tod!" from the "Serious >Songs," which he handled with a fine -breadth of tone and which he phrased exceptionally well. The program came to a close with: Rachmaninoff's "The Children" and three Negro songs, "Water Boy," , "Were You There" and "Gwinc to | Hebb'n." Each was given a distinctive and artistic treatment and in the; last mentioned he applied a style of; bravura singing both appropriate and effective. Mr. Levin's aeeompani-l ments were models of restraint and. co-operative musicianship. Fall Clean-Up Helps to Control Insects' i Clemson College, Nov. 2<?.-?Clean-1 ing off and burning the grass, weeds,} and trash from terraces, ditch banks, j and fence corners during tho winter! months will aid in controlling inju-j yious insects, advises Alfred Lutken,' extension entomologist, who adds, that since sonic insects will be found ' a few inches below the ground sur-j far?, n thorough^-cultivation-will bo uf " great value in killing these. At this time of year, Mr. Lutken explains, many injurious insects have' gone into winter quarters in the dead grass and piles of trash along ditch banks and fence corners. Among these insects may be mentioned boll weevils, Mexican bean beetles, squash bugs, harlequin bugs and chinch bugs. Other insects like the southern corn stalk borer hibernate in the stubble of crops loft in the field. Very little good and great harm will result from the burning over of woods, and this practice Mr. Lutken condemns. A few hibernating insects will be killed, but the damage, to the trees from the fire and loss of organic matter will be many times the value of the crops protected. If stubble of crops, particularly corn, are cut up and plowed under as deeply as possible early in winter, the stalks will be partly decayed by spring so that they will not interfere j with cultivation, and the insects bur-I led beneath the soil will have difficulty in reaching the surface and great numbers of them will perish.

Fattening Fall Pigs ^on Winter Forage CleWHon College, Nov. 26.-?-The two winter forages which have given best results at the .South Carolina experiment stations are barley and rye, and every farmer who is producing pork is urged by Prof. L. V. Stgrkey, chief animal husbandman, to have an ubundance of one or the other, or both, of these forages. "But it should be remembered," Mr. Starkey adds, "that hogs will not fatten on forage alone. They must have some grain. Moreover, this grain should be supplemented by some protein-rich feed. There has been considerable discussion as to whether hogs should be full fed on these forages or fed on a limited grain ration. The bulk of the experimental evidence indicates that the most economical plan is to full feed tho fall pigs while they are on the winter forage, corn being the grain most generally used in this and many other states. "The protein supplement which has given the best results over a period of years is equal 'parts of fish meal and cottonseed meal. Taking the stgte as a whole the most plausible recommendation for fattening hogs on forage is full feeding, free choice, of corn in one trough and a protein supplement consisting of equal parts of fish meal and cottonseed in another trough. Fortunately tho hogs will balance the ration by eating about the right amount of the supplement, thus greatly simplyfying the feeding operations. "By full feeding in this way the hogs reach market weight quicker and at a time when the price is usually higher than if the ration is limit- j ed. Furthermore, the hogs are fat at the time of marketing so that they will top the market." Boost Production Of Eggs With Peas Clemson College, Nov. 21.?Cowpeas tire selling for less than corn in many places in the state, and where this is true farmers are making a big mistake by not supplementing at least a third of the grain given to the hens with peas, thinks P. H. Gooding, extension poultryman. Cowpeas are higher than grains in protein, which hens need in order to make eggs, and for this reason when peas are added to the ration, egg ; production will be stimulated, and j this is probably the most efficient way to dispose of a surplus of cowpeas. : Experiments have shown, Mr. Gooding states, that cowpeas are not ^ used to the best advantage when supplemented for a part of the protein supplement, but they can be used profitably to displace a part of the grain in the ration. Since this is. true, it would be unwise to go to the expense 'of grinding, the peas and putting them in the mash when they . can be fed whole just as well. Then . too, when the peas are fed whole, the mash formula is not disturbed and in case the supply of peas should be-j come exhausted the only change , would be in the grain teed and such a change is not as likely to cause a j slump in egg production as when the i. mush is changed. The state board of canvassers de- j cidcd that it has no authority to act on the contest of M. G. Anderson., with his 22 votes, of the election of ( H.

Conviction carries a Woman Serves Life For Conspiracy * ? Natchez, Miss., Nov. 27.?For an alleged conspiracy to rob a wealthy recluse who kept hardly a dollar of her money in her home, Emily Bums, negro rooming Nhoaekeeper of Natchez, must go to-the penitentiary for lift. One night last Auguat, according to her now repudiated confessions made to Chief Deputy Sheriff Stone of Adams county, Emily went to tho suburban residence of Miss Jane Surget Merrill, daughter of Ayres Merrill, ambassador to Belgium, and saw George Pearls, a negro,t shoot her to death and hide her body in a thicket. Pearls was killed three days later by an Arkansas officer as the negro resisted arrest in his flight. While in Natchez Pearls stayed at the house of the Burns woman and officers found a rifle and other things he had left there. A jury in circuit court here late last night found Emily guilty as an accessory in the murder of Miss Merrill but unablo to agree on the punishment, allowed the state law to give her a life sentence. Judge R. L. Corban will pass formal sentence Monday. v Toll of Gridiron Totals 37 Lives New York, Nov. 28.?-Despite added safeguards in the rules, death^again took heavy toll of football players in the United States and territories during the season now drawing to a close."* Records today showed 37 suqcurttbed to injuries in games on sandlot, club, municipal, high school and college gridirons. With most high school schedules completed the total for the year probably will fall well below the record number of BO fatally injured in 1931. But the present figure is the second largest for any year since national regords were kept. Up to 1931 the largest number was 20 in 1925. Of the 37 dead, five were college players, 17 high school and 15 sandlot, semi-pro and club team competi-. tors.
