Livestock Calendar
For Early Spring
* ,? ?*??"
Clemson College, March 4.?Attention
to livestock matters in Majch
will have much to do with success
through the year, say extension Specialists,
giving hints to guide farmers.
Animal Husbandry. ? Make plans
for sumiper forages for hogs. (.Jive
sows close attention at farrowing.
Put young sows and pigs on new terI
ritory to avoid parasites. Feed nursing
sows liberally. Give ewes grain
and legume hay. Feed young lumbs
grain in a croep from two weeks old*
Gradually increase mule feed to avoid
digestive disturbances while they get
accustomed to spring work.
Dairying.?Rempve cows from onion-infested
pastures Ave hours before
milking. Clean up lots and haul
off litter to destroy breeding places
for flies. Use some acreage cut from
cotton for more feed crops. Silage
and legume hay make ideal roughage
feet! for next winter.
Poultry.?Raise baby chicks separate
from old birds. Provide feed for
chicks in clean troughs or hoppers.
LhU chicks into sunshine early. Clean
brooder houses regularly. Plant
green feed for summer. Arrange to
secure stock for flock improvement
next season.
Agronomy.?Make, savo and use
farm manures and compost in producing
crops. Before buying fertilizer,
study carefully the needs of
your soil for plant food to feed the
plants grown on that soil. 'Buy materials
and mix fertilizer so that
plants will be supplied with food most
needed. The price of cotton next fall
will probably bo low. Plan to produce
it at low cost. Read First Cor^
inthians, chapter 3, verse 6, and plaVf
an acreage of food and feed crops accordingly.
Horticulture.?Set out fruit trees if
not already set. Plant raspberries
and blackberries any time this month.
Prune and spray fruit trees. Cultivate
and fertilize orchards. Plant
salsify and parsnips now for next
winter.
Insects and Diseases. ? Remove
bands from apple trees, scrape rough
bark off, and kill the over-wintering
codling moth larvae. Burn twigs
severed by the pecan twig girdler
Grow corn as far as possible from
last year to control billbugs and borers.
Control cutworms with poisoned
bran mash. Dust tobacco plants with
arscnicnls to control flea beetles.!
Plow under leaves and shucks in pecan
groves as an aid in scab control.
Spray potatoes with Bordeaux when
first leaf spots appear. Plant wiltrcsistant
tomatoes, such as Marglobe
and Break-o'-Day.
Agricultural Engineering. ? Cut
stalks and trash with disc harrow
before plowing instead of burning.
Use a two-horse middle buster with
wide doubletree for laying off evenlyspaced
rows. Equip the riding twohorse
cultivator with opener for labor
efficiency. Plow terraces just before
planting and make them wide enough
for three rows of crops. Use twohorse.
machinery wherever possible
and save labor for growing feed
crops.
Serious About Arrest
Deputy Sheriff Guy Paris takes his
work seriously. He substituted for
Sheriff B. B. Smith at the mock trial
at the high school auditorium featuring
Gee McGee and Mike Clark last
night, because of Sheriff Smith's illness.
As a part of the fun, a telegram
was brought in addressed to
Sheriff Smith asking that McGee be
held on a charge of stealing hogs!
Deputy Paris wasn't so sure about the
funny part of it, so he slipped out
and went to Sheriff Smith's home to
ask him should he hold the humorist
after the show was over.?Greenville
News.
An Oklahoma City, Okla., juvenile
court judge, told the father of a boy,
10, up for stealing, that he ought to
be given a paddling with a hair brush
for not giving his son better training.
Dixie Laughs At
Banking Holiday
Atlanta, Ga., March <f.?The South
tattled its pennies today and grinned.
And from the lu'^y 'Susquehanna to
the crawling Everglades, across the
gumbo land of the Evangeline country
to the twnberling plains of the
Pecos, the figurative challenge was:
"Are we downhearted?"
The echo rolled: "No!"
For the Dixie of Kings mountain,
Chalmette, the Alamo and Appomatix
has a sense of humor as well as the
gallantry, courage and honor that
have been proved on a thousand fields.
Folks down here have a way of
laughing when the going gets rough.
Take the Ehsley (Ala.) Negro who
was offered his weekly pay in scrip.
His eommeht was; "I'll wait 'til the
boss man gets the sho' 'nuf money,
'cause I don't want to"get messed up
with that mesmerized money."
Or the seven-year-old Georgia boy
who slipped his family's change and
bought three little chickens, so "we'll
have eggs and never get hungry."
The mother hugged the little fellow
and cried. The father laughed out
loud. The chickens were roosters,u
Then there was the 90-year-otd
grandmother in Mississippi?she has
a trunk full of Confederate money
and saw her pa's home burned in '64
?who said disdainfully: "Humph,
blood couldn't bust this country, who
know money can't."
And at Jackson, Miss., the white
folks got worried a bit until the
Negro mammy waddled in with her
life savings?$250. It was musty and
soiled, but it was a gift from servant
to master.
New Orleans street cars could be
Vidden on credit. Strap hangers
bought a supply of "tokens" and had
them charged to their electricity bills.
The fair grounds race track there
used mutual betting receipts to cash
checks to keep the horses fed.
Everybody was in the same boat
and when folks get that way they
laugh and like it.
The watch of Mrs. John J. Pershing
has been returned to her husband after
19 years. When the home of the
general was destroyed by fire at the
Presidio, San Francisco, in 1911, the
watch was saved by an officer, who
was shortly afterwards ordered to the
Philippines. He turned the watch
over to a Mrs. Belvail of Napa, and
she in turn recently returned the time
piece to General Pershing. Mrs.j
Pershing and three children lost their j
"lives in the fire which destroyed the j
Pershing home.

28th day of March, 1933, at ten o'clock

"Hints for the
Household
The "U&te Dinner"
From the gossip we hear, we know
that the one thing you really like to
do is give a "little dinner." That informal
sort of dinner for a limited
number of friends, where the courses
are few enough to demand perfection
in each.
The table should be spread with
the finest of damask. The flowers in
the center should be in a low receptacle,
so as not to interfere with the
glances of the guests seated opposite
ea h other. Allow space enough
between places to prevent* crowding.
The table should be set as follows
?the knives on the right, the forks
(^?the left?one for each course, the
soup spoon laid with knives, the water
glass to the right, the napkin to
the left. The bread and butter piatc
to the right.
The only holiday in March is St.
Patrick's Day, ~o lot's make this
'"little dinner" a green and white affair.
Then grace your table with delicate
ferns.
Your menu may be as follows:
Cream of Asparagus Soup
Roast Umb
Stuffed Celery Chique Olives
Green Peas Hot Rolls
Mashed Potatoes
I-ettuce Salad
Cocoanut and Citron layer Cake
Crackers and Camembert Cheese
Coffee
