II Conservation Of
| Natural Resources
In a discussion of the term "conIftrvation"
it is hoped that our read|
will interpret it in it* broadest
sense. .
Just what is meant 'by conserve[tion?
The terms "conwrvution" and
I preservation-" are often used interI
changeably which adda to the misI
const ruction of the former term.
Conservation, contrary to the beLief
of many, does not meati that a
|natural resource such as flsh, game,
[forests and mineral* are to be taken
lout of the public use. On the other
| hand it means wise use of these resources
with the. view of preserving
Lame for the use and enjoyment of
[future generations. It is feared that
| we have lost sight of the fact that
Iwe owe a definite obligation to our
[posterity. % Will our children som^
[day point the finger of scorn at us
[and say, "You 'have destroyed or
[through your carelessness and indifference
have permitted to be destroyed
a heritage that is as much
lours to be enjoyed as it was yours."
The pioneer spirit of our ancestors
still predominates in us, and we must
(not forget that this spirit will live in
the hearts and minds of our posterity.
What right have we, therefore, to destroy
or allow to be destroyed through
neglect or carelessness these things
which we do not own but which we
have been merely appointed custodian
during our life time. I ask. you
again, friends, what will our answer
It was the writer's privilege to attend
the statewide conservation meeting
recently held in Columbia. Many
interesting speakers were heard,
imong whom was an address by Mr.
Ernest Harwood, executive secretary
>f the Pennsylvania Game and Fish
7-ommission, who said1:
Thirty-five years ago sportsmen
in Pennsylvania came to a realization
that tho state had been shot out.
Game had entirely been exterminated
ami forests tOQ had suffered from the
inroads of lumbermen.
A battle for the remnant of game
left and for a restoration of that destroyed
was lost. A game commission
was appointed and an executive
commission was appointed and an
executive secretary named, and since
that time the work has gone steadily
forward. Sportsmen were largely responsible
for the work done.
Today Pennsylvania has 01) major
game refuges and 76 auxiliary refuges,
the acreage in each ranges
from 1,000 to 16,000. In 1007 a doe
deer protection law was passed. The
records showed that in 11)18 there
were 800 'buck deer shot in the state.
- In 1031 the number had increased to
24,000. The doe/deer became so numerous
that in 1031 a 15-day open
season on doe deer was declared and
70,225 doe deer, were shot, making a
total of doe deer sljet about 75,000.
In discussing the matter from a
financial end, last year 572,000 hunters'
licenses had been issued; of these
8,000 were licenses to non-residents,
issued at a cost of $16.00.
If hunting is to be made an industry,
then there must be a -place to
hunt.
At the present time, there were
450,000 acres of sportsmens' land in
the state with access to more than 3
million acres of state forest area.
More than one-half million hunting
licenses were sold'at $2 each last
year, thus bringing into the state
above one million dollars.
The value of game killed in 1932
was above ten million dollars, and
the fur dealers' business amounted to
above two million, five hundred thousand
dollars. Estimating expenditures
by sportsmen for shells, food, clothing,
etc., at $6 each, Mr. Harwood said
they brought business to merchants
of around $3,500,000.
These were some of the revenues
which were secured from an expenditure
of about $1,200,000.
He discussed the recreational value
of fishing and hunting, and the health
value of great forest areas, and
sketched briefly the strides that
Pennsylvania had made in conservation.
This address was accorded close attention
by those present.
Is it not, therefore, evident that
with the climates we have in South
Carolina that we, too, can build up
a similar organization and resource:
to be enjoyed by ours and our posterity?

For Early Spring
Clemson College, Jan. 80.?-Preparation
is the keynote in the livestock
suggestions for February by Prof. L.
V. Starkey, animal husbandman; C. G.
Cushnian, extension dairyman; and
P. H. Gooding, extension poultryman.
Animal Husbandry.?Feed enough
of a well balanced ration to keep
spring-farrowing sows gaining slightly.
Keep the hogs grazing on small
grain and sow rape for grazing.
Feed ewes one-half pound of grain
per head per day. Dock and castrate
lambs when 10 to 14 days old. Keep
the breeding cows maintaining their
weight without gain or loss. Clean
out stables and scatter manure where
most needed. Kepair the fences and
sow grass seeds for permanent pasture.
Dairying.?Jfyreed gf many cows as
possible during February for calving
j in November and ear^ December.
Plan abundance of home-grown feed
for next winter's feeding. Continue
to repair fences, clean up the lots
and grounds, and white-wash ?outbuildings
and fences. Watch calves
and yearlings for lice, which at this
season do greatest damage. Provide
for each mature cow: Legume hay,
two tons; corn, eight bushels; velvet
beans, 420 bushels; oats, 15 bushels;
four sacks cottonseed meal; permanent
pasture, two acres; soiling crops,
one-fourth acre.

eggs not over 10 days before setting.
Negro To Die For
Slaying of Woman
Greensboro, Jan. 28.?Convicted by
a superior court jury here today of
the first degree murder of Mrs. J. W.
McCown, while an attempt was being
made to h#ld up the automobile service
station of her husband on the
High Point road, a short distance
southwest of Greensboro on the night
of November 11, Dave McNair, Durham
Negro, stood and beard the sen- (
tence of Judge A. M. Stack that he
die in the electric chair in state prison
at Raleigh, March 29.
"Dave McNair, do you know of any
reason why the death penalty should
not be pronounced upon you?" the
Monroe jurist inquired. ^
"Yes," said the defendant. "I wasn't
the one that did the shooting. I didn't
do it. I didn't know there was going
to be a robbery."
Prior to imposition of the sentence
attorneys for McNair asked that the
verdict be set aside that a new trial
be granted. The judge denied the
motion and notice of appeal was given
on behalf of the defendant.

Appropriation Bill
Cut To Five Million
Columbia, Jao. 28.?A general appropriation
bill totalling but $6,000,000,
the lowest in more than a decade
and embodying drastic slashes,
was completed yesterday afternoon by
the ways and means committee. It
will be introduced in the house Tuesday.
In writing the state supply measure,
the twenty-one members of the
committee carried out instructions of
u house resolution to hold the total
to $6,000,000. They "cut to the bone"
in many placeS to do so. Several departments
and institutions were abolished.
Under the bill no state employee,
including the governor, members of
the supreme court and presidents of
the state institutions of higher learning,
would receive more than $3,600
salary a year. A section of the bill
stipulates that no state salary shall
be higher than this.
State institutions of higher learning?the
University of South Carolina,
Winthrop, Citadel, Medical College
and Clenison?were cut 50 per
cent from 1032.
For the state 6-0.-1 law, or public
school appropriation, the committee
proposes to spend $1,050,000. The
appropriation last year was more
than $3,000,000 and James H. Hope,
state superintendent of education, told
the committee that under the act an
appropriation of $3,040,000 was required
this year.
The office of state bank examiner,
held by Albert iS. <Fant, and which
was under legislative fire last year,
would be abolished. Other subdivisions
which the committee would dis"pose
of are chief game warden's office,
the warehouse commissioner's
office, the industrial school for girls
or negro boys' reformatory after
abolishment in the bill. Both are in
Richland county.
County farm and home agents,
which the budget commission recommended
cut out, were retained in the
bill.
The bill's total of exactly $5,000,i
000 compares with the appropriation
bill enacted in 1932 of approximately I
$9,400,000. The budget commission
recommended approximately $6,500,000
be spent.
Revenue provided in the bill is the
same as last year, a two and onehalf
mill properly levy and indirect
revenues. Provisions for the stale
deficit and indebtedness are not
handled in the supply measure.
To become law, of course, the measure
must pass both house and senate,
ways and means committee bills for
the last two sessions have been killed
and re-written. The $5,000,000 total
is a recommendation of the Farmers
and Taxpayers league, which has a
number of members on the committee.
Salaries of members of the general
assembly would be reduced from
$400 to $320. The committee applied
a salary reduction scale ranging from
10 per cent on salaries and pensions
under $1,000, including Confederate
i veterans' pensions, upward to 42 and
1-2 per cent at $3,500. Above that
figure no schedule was followed.
Neville Bennett, chairman of the
committee, said it viewed as binding
the house resolution directing
that the bill be held to five millions.
Sharp changes would be made in
state institutions of higher learning,
including doubling of all tuition fees
and requirement of entrance examinations
for all prospective students.
High school certificates would have
no weight. The examination would
be given by college authorities.
Free tuition and scholarships after
this school year would be abolished
in the institutions?no females would
be admitted to the University of
South Carolina under the class of
junior. Freshmen are now admitted.
No college would have a compulsory
student activities fee.
In cutting below recommendations
of the budget bureau, the committee
did so against the warnings of nearly
every institution that it had been cut
to "bed rock" and further reductions
would be disastrous to its standing.
Part of the duties of the bank examiner's
office would be placed under
the comptroller-general. The agriculture
department would assume
duties of the warehouse commissioner's
office.
|
Public night schools, which the >
budget commission would have aboi-.J
ished, were given an appropriation;
of $16,000, as compared with $10,000 j
last year.
The general assembly had adjourned
for the week-end when announcement
was made that the bill, for
which the house has been waiting,
was completed. Those here felt that
the biggest bone of contention on the
floors of the house and senate would
be the public schools appropriation,
which would necessitate increased
county or school district levies in
many sections, they said, if school*
are to continue operation.
Washington Irving coined the
phrase, "the almighty dollar." -
Information On Crop
And Livestock Loans;
The county agent has recently rp- *
ceived additional information blanks *
and other equipment pertaining to
loans being* made by the Regional *
Agricultural Oe<fit Corporation of
Raleigh, North Carolina,
The maximum approximate loans f
will be $10 per acre on cotton, $11.50 a
per acre on corn, $05 per acre on potatoes,
and on livestock the amount c
loaned will be approximately 76 per
cent of the intrinsic value of the livestock.
Also loans may bo had for
production of poultry, development of ?
livestock industries, development of t
pastures and other equipment pertain- 41
iilg to livestock development. I
As pointed out previously this loan c
re<iuircs more security than the Seed t
Loan but perhaps not quite as much
security as a commercial bank. How*
ewer, ample security is deemed ncces- g
sary. In cape of loans for crop pro- j
duction, mortgages will be taken on c
crops to be produced and in addition t
on some chattels such as mulqs, cows j
.etc., and it is highly desirable that t
farmers borrowing through this chan-'
nel be able to show that they are try- f
ing to follow u balanced program of ^
farming such as have been stressed,
by Clemson Extension Service.
For full information those interested
are requested to confer with the
county agent, Henry I). Green, in
the Court House in Camden.
General Frank T. Hines, veteran
administrator, told congress this week
that on the present basis record caring
for former soldiers would total
$1,1)13,000,000 per year by 1950 and
then slowly dwindle to $1,581,000,000
by 1906.
Senator-elect McAdoo, in New Orleans,
declared in an interview that
the proposed domestic allotment relief
plan now before congress, is too
complicated for administration and
needs amendments before it would be
practical.
A New York court has turned down
a motion by attorneys of James J.
Walker, former mayor, to have dismissed
two suits brought against him
and his wife for more than $14,000
worth of clothing allegedly purchased
by Mrs. Walker.
Prune Orchard Trees
It is very important that pruning
>f orchard trees and grape vines, etc.,
>e done before the sap begins to rise "v|m
n the spring to any appreciable exent,
otherwise pruning after the sap - ^11*
tas risen will cause bleeding of the

.gent, Henry D. Green, at once and
pruning demonstration will be givn
in the communPv.
