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."

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.
