Four Points To
Guide Farmers
Clera&on Collate, dan. 7.-?JRetter
utilisation of land* further steps toward
"subsistence" farming, more
livestock in the farming scheme and
cooperation in buying 'and selling are
four of the cardinal points given by
Dr. W. W. Long, director of the Extension
.Service, to direct farmers
along the road to batter success in
farming in 1938. On these several
points Dr. Long says briefly;
A rearrangement of the present
layout on ntoat farms ia urgent. En-!
larging and reshaping fields will save
^ 10 to 20 per cent in labor; and using
enterprises that' do not demand labor j
too heavily at the same time will
bring more effective distribution of
lahpr over the year. Transfer of
lands not best for economic crop production
to pasturage and growing of
trees must also be considered.
The production of a large part of
the family living at home is of first
importance. The vegetables, Jiuit
and meat products needed for^the
table and the feeds needed for the
livestock may be grown largely on
| each farm. While many farmers are
now on a live-at-home basis, there
are thousands of others who can and
should thus avoid the necessity of
j cash purchasing of such needs.
More livestock in the farming system
will first of all mean better utiization
of land, give a better distribution
of labor, and build up soil productivity.
Though theajjwnmediate
outlook for livestock is ndBmight, the
far-seeing farmer will D|$$h now to
establish herds and flock*" at low cost
against the tim* when livestock will
bring better pric^lh and of courge he
will grow all home and farm needs
of pork, poultry and other meats.
Meanwhile it is the best way to make
our soils more productive.
Some form of cooperative buying
and cooperative"selling "will go far
towards eliminatihg much of the costly
middleman s^rvic^ between producer
and consumer. The joint buying
of such things as fertilizer, seeds,
feeds and implements would save
farmers much cash; ajid cooperative
selling of farm products should result
in securing better advantages in
the markets through uniform quality
of products, direct dealing with large
buyers, etc.
"Please forget and forgive and
take care of the children," read the
note which Mrs. A. A. Holden of the
White - Bluff section of Lancaster
county addressed to her husband and
left on the family TBible prior to
shooting heraelf. - The husband, a
well-to-do farmer and merchant, was
in bed, after returning from his store.
His wife took the keys from his pocket,
went to tHd store and got a pistol
and returned' to kill herself. She had
been sick for several days.
Business failures in the United
States last week totaled 486, as compared
witji 525 the previous week and
012 for the same week of last year,
according to Dun's reports.

Farmers Make Own
Hog-Killing Weather
'" ' ' * '
Clemson College, Jan. 7.?Mark
Twain's famous remark that nothing
is ever done about the weather has
been modified to some extent by South
Carolina farmers who experienced
considerable loss of home-killed'meat
during the mild winter weather of
1981-32. This has been accomplished
by the use of a home-made meatcuring
ice-bog which in effect enables,
farmers to make their own hog-killing
weather. The box was designed
by J. T, McAlister, extension agricultural
engineer, and several of these
boxes have been built and tried out
with success.
In November, 1932, Boyd Atkinson,
of Marlon fbpMi^-huUt a box and
cured out 80<> pounds of medt successfully,
using only 600 pounds of ice
costing $2.50. The total cost of the
materials used In constructing the
box amounted to only $13.00. Mr.
Atkinson kept an accurate record of
the temperatures during the curing
period. The box was charged with
600 pounds of ice a day before the
hogs were killed in order to have the
box chilled when the meat was put
in. After butchering, the meat was
salted and placed in the box, the outside
temperature being 60, the temperature
in the box 40, and the temperature
inside the meat 68 degrees.
After the fifth day the temperatures
were as follows: outside 66, inside the ,
box 44, inside the meat 44. The meat
was salted, three times at six-day intervals.
The ice lasted about 19 days,
after which the meat was found to bo
satisfactorily cured.
Th$ box has six-inch insulated
walls. T. & G. flooring is nailed to
2x4 studding, inside and out. Heavy
tar building paper is used under the
flooring and the, four-inch space is
filial. With dry wood shavings. In I
outside dimensions the box is seven
feet long, fivp feet wide, and four
feet high. iSpecial ice racks are provived
at each end of the box for holding
a 309-pound block of ice. Meat
racks are provided in the center,'
which allow the meat to be placed
so that the cold air can circulate
around each piece.. The capacity of
the box is approximately"!,000-pounds
of trimmed meat, and two 300-pound
blocks of ice should be": sufficient to
cure out such a quantity, of meat. A
limited number of blueprint plans
which show construction details is
now available through county agents.
The contract has been let for rebuilding
the large Methodist church
at Darlington which burned a few
months ago. A dining room jand
kitchen will be added, the seats in the
Sunday school room will be uniform
in line and curve with those of the
auditorium, tjie stained glass windows
will be replaced, and the new
building will be an improvement on
the one destroyed by fire. Rev. G. E.
Edwards is the paBtor.
Sevefal persons were killed near
Wallace, Idaho, last Wednesday when
thousands 6f tons of ice# snow, dirt
and Tocks slid into Mamouth canyon.

Unrest Flares Anew
In Iowa Corn Belt
Le Mara, Iowa, Jan. 5.?Farm unrest,
smouldering for months in the
Iowa corn belt, framed anew yesterday
with threats to lynch a representative
of a mortgage-holder and forcible
detention of a jurist who. sought
to summon aid.
The demonstration occurred at a
foreclosure sale, when Herbert S.
Martin, attorney for the New York
Life Insurance Company, submitted a
sealed bid for the John A. Johnson
farm for $30,000?$3,000 less tnan
the amount of the mortgage held by
the company.
The farmers, numbering between
500 andJSOO, dragged him" from the
court house steps. (Brandishing a
rope, they threatened hanging, tar
and feathers, and riding him out of
town on a rail.
Finally released, Martin wired officials
of his company asking permission
to raise the bid. He ended his
wire with a plea to "rush answer, my
neck at risk."
Centenarian Still Smokes
Greenville, S. C., Jan. 9.?Mrs.
Martha Campbell, of Greenville, interviewed
on her 100th birthday, td?k
her pipe from her mouth and said:
"Good tobacco, smoked in a pipe
and hard work ar6 responsible for
my longevity."
Mrs. Campbell started smoking a
pipe in 1860 and has been at it for
[ the last 72 years.

Woodman Killed.
Anderson, Jan. 9.?Trapped in the
fork of a large oak tree when the
top he was cutting fell unexpectedly,
William T, Connally, 47, was instantly
killed near Townville, Anderson
county. His neck was broken
Randolph Norment, a 11 year old
boy of Darlington county, killed a
big wild tuflkey gobbler with one
shot from his rifle, on his first hunting
trip with his father.
I The chief justice of Arizona is a
native of Marlboro county and expects
to visit" his old home in this
state next May. He beat his opponent
in the November election six to
one, and he has held the office twelve
years hitherto.
In Anderson county in 1932, there
were 39 violent deaths, an average of
over three?per month, from burns,^
suicides, homicides, automobile accidents,
and other causes. Six of them
resulted in charges of murder, and 14
were automobile casualties.
' Louis Watson; 4, is dead after escaping
from his .burning home at
Greenville, Texas. The little child
went back into the hopfe looking for
his dog, and was rescued by his father
after the child had received burns
from which he-died. The dog was
later found"' searching the ruins for
his little master.
Two robbers, dressed in overalls,
entered the first state bank of DeQueen,
Ark., Tuesday'dast with drawn
guns and walked out with between
$2,000 and $3,000.

Dying Man's Story of
Fight With a Bandit
. .Morganton, N. C.? Jan. 0.?A stirring
deathbed description by David H.
Shuping, Drexel tilling station operator,
of hia battle with an assailant
spurred officers today in their search
for the masked bandit who fatally
wounded Shuping in a hand-to-hand
encounter.
Although he never lost consciousness
until his death more than an
hour after .the battle, Shuping was
able to give-only scant clues to the
identity of the bandit. V
He told in detail, however, of how
he auddenly discovered a masked ftgI
ure crouching in the rear seat of his
automobile as he was driving home
late Saturday night and fought with
I the man.
As they grappled, the bandit shot
him twice with a pistol and then fled.
Both bullets lodged in hia eheet.
Shuping could give no details of
the bandit's features, but said he was
certain the man was white. Mrs>, W.
A. Spencer, a neighbor, who saw the
man run from the car said he was of
medium height and weight.
L The filling station operator, member
of a prominent Burke County
family, had $550 in his pocket. The
bandit lied without securing it.
Shuping was 86 years old and a
World War veteran. He leave^ a- widow
and Ave small children. 0
Officers attempted without success
to trail the bandit vvftth bloodhounds.

Largest Vote
Ever Polled
The national election in November
was a record breaker so far as votes
cast was concerned. Both Roosevolt
and Hpoyer got big votes, the one the
largest for a defeated candidate. According
to records, the CoottSge vote
over Davis as to majority was greats
er than the Roosevelt majority over
Hoover, Here is the way the Washington
news put it: ..V/
Washington, Dec. 24.?The largest
vote in the nation's history was cast
in the November presidential election
?39,734,351,
With this record were established
three others. Franklin D. Roosevelt
received the highest popular and electoral
votes ever' given a winning candidate
and) President Hoover" polled
thp largest popular vote ever cast for
a loser.
Hdre's the way the votes were distributed;
Roosevelt, 22,818,786.
Hoover, 15,769,266. *
Others, 1,16J,299. ,
Final returns as verified by state
officials and'compiled by -the Associated
Press today showed the total
vote, when compared with the previous
record of 36,798,669 in 1928, to
have increased 2,936,682 or 7.9 per
cent.
The 1932 totyl was only 180,094
less than the" Associated Press estimate
qf the vote based on registration
figures prior to the election.
~ Roosevelt's plurality \vas 7,054,520.
This exceeds Hoover's plurality of
6,423,612 over Alfred E. Smif?n four
years ago, but fell short of the record
plurality of 7,338,613 polled by Calvin
Coolidge over John W. Davis in
1923.
feoosevelt's total was more than the
votes for all candidates combined in
any election preceding 1920. The previous
high for a winning candidate
was Hoover's 21,420,109 four years
ago.
Hoover's 1932 total of >16*759,266
compared with Smith's 15,016,443 in
1928, which was the previous record
for a loser.
Roosevelt's percentage of the total
vote was 57.6; Hoover's 39.6, and minor
parties 2.9. Smith in 1928 polled
41.2 per cent of the total vote.
Roosevelt carried 42 states as
against 40 by Hoover in 1928 and 37
by Coolidge in 1924. His electoral
vote was 472 as' against Hoover's 69,
the latter coming from Connecticut,
Delaware, Maine, New Hampshire,
Pennsylvania and ' Vermont. Four
years ago Hoover had 444 and Smith
