Very little hog feed was bought by these farmers.' Forty-live per cent of them bought a little fish meal <" tankage. Uss than half of the farmers used tankage, cottonseed meal, or lish mod in their rations. Thtft? was a wide variation in tf?e rations fed to hogs. While some farmers fed nothing but corn, the better hog producers foil a well-balanced ration consisting of corn, fish meal and cottonseed meal in combination with year-round gilining crops. The pasture crops more commonly used were oats, rye, barley, soybeans, rape, carpet grass, peanuts and velvet beans. Oats and rye were used by K5 per cent of the hog producer*. Forty per cent practiced hogging down corn, but this practice was used to a very limited extent on some of these farms. Only 25 per cent used a mineral mixture of any kind, the mixture used being mostly two 6r more ot the' following ingredients: lime, ashes, salt and acid phosphate. Rev. P. F*.

A. records. < Big Cottonwood Canyon, a twenty- ? one mile route up Brighton Mountain, j] and Penitentiary Hill, a steep dash with several right-angle curves, were the noted climbs that succumbed to the Terraplanes during their brief visit to Salt Lake City. Out. to beat the existing record of 27 minutes, 18.2 seconds, a Terraplane 6 driven by Paul Bost first made the ascent of the.Bh'g Cottonwood Canyon road and, despite rain encountered throughout the last seven miles of the route, cut the time to 25 minutes, 3 seconds. This clipped 2 minutes, 15.2 seconds from the best previous mark. Shortly afterward, and while the rain was still falling, A1 Miller, in a Terraplane 8, made the run in the new record time of 24 minutes, 54.9 seconds. leaving the Brighton Mountain course, A1 Miller took his car to Penitentiary Hill and virtually shot up the ascent in 36,6 seconds, beating the old mark of 38 seconds flat.

The chief of the South Carolina state highway patrol is working on a plan to equip all the'62 motorcycles and 19 automobiles used by patrolmen with police radio, with the central station at Columbia.

Each patrolman is given definite orders for movement and action instantaneously and the central headquarters manipulates the entire force as a whole, when occasion demands. O # E. M. Gillespie is fighting in the courts his replacement as superintendent of the Greenville county home by Rev, J. A. Davis, named for the place by the appointing authority, the county board of charities and corrections.
