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.

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.

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,

No doubt you are aware that a
&al honest-to-goodness circus is the
greatest entertainment of all amusements,
and the only branch of the
amusement world that does not need

sensation and merit, with more real
novelties than all the other shows
confined. A grand spectacle, "Nationality",
precedes the 'regular performance
this season, over one'hundred
men, women and animals take
part. Miss B. Peasely is the prima J
donna and is assisted by a large
: *** . . ' ' '
group of pretty girls. Barnett Bros,
have sparine money to make this ..."
the most gorgeous spectacle ever produced.
This is presented with the regular
circus performance^ without
extra charges, and is the talk of every
Aown visited. The street parade this
season is over one mile in length,,
and will pass over the princijihl
streets. Beautiful tableaux, trucks,
four bands of music, steam calliope,
funny clowns, pretty girls, prancing
steeds performers and animals from
the far corners of, the earth. Believe
