Our Neglected Assets \ " ,... , (Hy Harry Hampton) Destruction of Uame. The very abundance of our great heritage of game aperies in South Carolina was one of the chief contributors to its destruction. There seemed to be such a vast quantity men thought it could never be diminished. Until comparatively recently there were no game laws in America. The species that are now extinct could all huve been saved by u little foresighted legislation within the last 100 years or less. The larger game animals of South Carolina such as the bison ami elk were killed or driven out as the country was fettled. The birds and other j game held on longer. The Hob White, partridge or quail, even seemed to thrive on the coming of man, as we are told by Elliott and other writers of a century ago. The clearing of the fields and planting of grain gave him ideal feeding grounds?up to a certain point. Until after the Confederate war, this bird was plentiful in all parts of the state. Up to this time guns were expensive and all were muzzle-loaders. Few persons were financially able to shoot. The country was sparsely settled and game had ample hiding places in time of danger, with little persecution. About IS70, the breech loading gun came along. (iiui**-\rapidly became cheaper. Hunting* became more and more popular, not only with the educated but with ignorant people who did not know or care anything about preserving the species. The country became more thickly settled and the forests were cut a way. As cities sprang up the great and unforgivable, crime against our game was started all over the country? market hunting. The records of this era are sickening. Harrels of birds rotted in the market places or at railway stations, killed uselessly in every way imaginable. Market hunters were not malicious. They did not deliberately wipe out game. They, * and nearly everyone else, thought the supply unlimited. In the up-country of the state, with towns close, country population rathi er clcn.se, no ga me mws unu nv ?.v.v , (juato cover for self-protection, the Bob White has been practically wiped I out. In the low-country with scat- J tered population and large wooded areas containing many tangled thick-! ets, which give him sanctuary, he has managed far better and is still fairly abu ndant. Other states have preserved and increased their game by this principle ?the sanctuary?a place where game is unmolested and left to increase and furnish breeding stock for the surrounding territory. And it is this principle, together with a comprehensive game policy and program that must be U.-ed to build back the diminishing game of Smith Carolina A new high price for the year oil i cattle wa< established at Kansas City.

I Big Road Programme Soon To Be Under Way Columbia, July 25.- A state-wide load building program for South Car-1 olinn under the highway provisions of the industrial recovery act was apI proved today by the state highway I commission. Every county was included in the approximately 120 projects in the schedule. The total cost was placed at $5,000,000, leaving a little more than $400,000 of the state's share of , the Federal money for reserve use. Charles C). Hearon, of Spartanburg, chairman of the commission, announced the schedule was being submitted at once to Washington authorities for approval and said he hoped construction work would Ik* ready to begin within a week or ten days. "There is not going to be any unnecessary delay now in this big road building program," Hearon said. Hen M. Sawyer, chief highway commissjoner* handed a list of the projects in the program to newspapermen after a session of the commission which began night ami was continued today. "Thousands of men avill Ih> given work under this program, which will reach every county in the state." Sawyer said. He added that as far as lie knew this was the first time a road building program had been undertaken in every county of the state at one time.

Less Cotton Should Mean Feed Increase Clomson College, July 22.?The reduced cotton acreage will undoubtedly help the livestock industry, thinks Prof. L, V, Starkey, chief of animal husbandry, who says that the limiting' factor in livestock production in the South has been feed. "If a scheme is worked out and put into practice whereby the reduction in cotton acreage becomes permanent, the land on which cotton has been j growiP can be used to good advantage | to produce feed crops," Prof. Starkey j states. "Last year we had a short corn crop. Farmers did not produce, enough corn to fatten the spring crop of pigs. As a result of^.this, County Agent J. M. Elea/.er reports that hundreds of pigs have be eh sold in Sumter county. If feed had been available these pigs could have been fed to 200 pound-s and sold for a great deal more. In many other counties conditions are similar. "One of the fine things about a livestock program is that the soil continues to improve. The first year is the most difficult because of lack of fertility and organic matter in our soils. If a little money is made the first year, a little more should' be "in T' V 1 1-1 .. . . 1 I "I .J made the second, atill more the third, and so on."

I THAT GIVE MEN WORK THAT GIVE YOU DRIVING SAFETY, CONVENIENCE COMFORT AND LOW DRIVING COST The United States Government has sounded the call, by giving a direct grant to the States, of at least four hundred million dollars for highway improvement. This is part of a vast program of public works to spread national employment and to stimulate business. This work will be done through your own State Highway Department. The Federal Government asks no return except that the money be expended wisely? that the improvements be permanent, substantially built and of a type that gives men work. concrete roads meet every specification. They are permanent. Maintenance cost is much less than that of any other type. They give you the greatest driving safety, convenience and comfort. They cost less to drive over?saving you gas, tires, repairs and depreciation. They will give work to men now on doles in your community. Money will flow across the counters of home stores. Insist on concrete for your roads ? get the most and the best road for the money ? and the maximum employment for labor! PORTLAND CEMENT 1 I Has puHed /\ m eric a R out of the mud!

The engineers have built, with cement, a network of concrete highways throughout the nation that is nearly one hundred thousand miles in length. Cement spanned great rivers and broad valleys with concrete. Cement made the modern motor vehicle practical; made motoring a part of our daily life.
