Livestock Manure Builds The Land Cleraaon College, Sept. 4.?Herein lies the secret of a profitable livestock farm: The soil is gradually made better and slowly but surely the crop yields get larger, so that as the years pass it becomes easier to make a living on the farm rather than harder. >So says E. V. Starkey, head of the animal husbandry department, citing instances of soil building through livestock. ' A group of men recently walked out over some territory -where-4uj?stock had been kept for a few years The growth of vegetation was luxuriant, and one man asked what fertilivor had been used and was astonished to learn that no commercial fertilizer at all had been used. The manure had increased the fertility and organic matter so much that the soil was very productive. * Ttvo peach growers from different sections of the state remarked that their yields of peaches had been more than doubled by the application of manure from steers which had ,been fed during the Avinter. A survey of the five-acre cotton and corn contests shows that a large percentage of the winners have made liberal applications of manure. "And yet we are face to face with the fact that manure from livestock is exceedingly scarce in South Carolina," Prof. Starkey comments. "All are agreed that we need to grow more feed crops and market these feeds through livestock. "We do not claim that manure is the only fertilizer needed, for bettor crop yields, but it certainly is one of the most satisfactory ways of improving the land and marketing the home-grown feeds." "Dam' Good President" Given 0. K. By Greek Atlanta, Sept. 11.?"Greek Tom's" is one of those narrow restaurants on a side street with a counter so slick Tom can "start.e glass of water sliding from the back end as a customer enters the door and have it waiting for him when he*'g<?t.s past the cash register. The food is served in thick dishes but it is substantial stuff and cooked with a wholesome savor. Tom is a friendly soul always ready to joke with four night workers from a building around the corner and, when it gets too long between pay days, "put it on the cuff or lend one a dollar. The four entered Tom's place late at night to find a youth in a clean white coat?much more spruce looking than Tom ever wore?ready to "serve them. "Where is Tom?" Tom appeared from a five by ten space where he slept behind the kitchen. "Come in, come in. Here I am." "What's the matter, Tom? Selling out?" they asked. Tom grinned and pointed to the Blue Eagle, insignia of the NRA, on the window. * "Naw, no sell. I'm a Blue Eagle feller. This waiter new. President say raise wages hire more men. I work a little less, this feller work some. He not work in long time, wife, three babies at home. I make little less money. We make some money. Dam' fine arrangement. President Roosevelt dam' fine man." The four stirred coffee vigorously. Finally one reached across the counter to shake the proprietor's hand. "Tom," he said, "you, too, are a dam' fine man." "Sure," replied Torfi, "dam' fine country." % First Football Death Reported Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 12.?Newt Wilson, lt>-year-old Howard college freshman, was injured fatally in the first football scrimmage of the ?eaj son here today. Wilson, playing left end on the freshman team during a scrimmage j with the varsity, dropped to the | ground unconscious, while his mateI were lining up to resume plav after i the varsity had scored a touchdown. ] The youth died in a hospital X-ray room tonight an hour and 'a half I after his collapse on the gridiron. Death was believed caused by a cerebral hemorrhage. No one knew how his injury, occurred. Once each month for 30 years George N\ Gibson, Boston traveling man, ha^.yisited Provincetown, Mass., at the tip of Cape Cod, and only once in the 30 years has he arrived to find the sun shining. The Federal government has allotted the sum of $2,300,000 for work in the Great Smoky Mountains national park and it is estimated that more than 1,000 men will be given employment on the project. Mrs. Hans Vigoren, of Hamilton, Mont., has given birth, to her third pair of twins. A - Save Your Eyes (Hy Dr. Walter F. Kimball, Missouri State Hoard of Optometry) Survival of the Fittest Today the school child is oft-times competing against great odds and encountering real handicaps in his or her school work due to poor vision or inefficient eyes, according to l>r. Thomas MoHurnie, of Brooklyn, New York, president of the American Optometric Association. Primitive man, living as he did in Uk> forest and on the plains, subsisted on the game he coudi kill, and his survival was measured by ability i to cope with his environment and his enemies, The individuals who were unfortunate enough to In? born with poor [vision or who subsequently iosi it a^ a whole or part, did not survive. It was a perfect example of the sur- vival of the fittest. t 1 Today we have made great pro- < gross from those days of our primitive ancestors, but we are not sending > the whole child to school unless we i | know the condition of his or her eyes, c Optometry has taken as its task ? the problem of not merely seeing that t our school children see well, but what is more important, that they see ef- < flciently. A tesPof vision by placing > | letters on a distant wall and telling t the child to cover one eye, and then l the other is^ ipilerably inadequate. > In such a test, if he or she can read these letters, all consideration of this > child's eyes is ended- S This is almost criminal. Parents in shaping the lives of boys I and girls should remember, that all \ of the knowledge of books and the ) learning obtained from them, will be 1 of little use unless the child main- !j ains good efficient vision throughHit life. Many children who see well and vho are apparently bright children ire backward in school work. The *hild, at times, actually appears itupid and may be extremely difficult .0 handle. In truth, a large percentage of such ;hildren are handicapped because, vhile they see well at a distance, heir eyes are inefficient at the near >oint>. Another example of the survival of the Attest. So parents, be sure to send your vhole child to school. _ I Robert Wright, unemployed cook, >eat Max Komen, St. Louis restauant man, and then forced him to ;iss the Blue Eagle.
