Good Time To Start Raising B Cattle H#m?on Coll?g?, Oct. 7,?Aasertthat there U probably no place the United States where the ae*'"ntt are more- favorable for beef *tle production than Soujlh Carolina l>rof< L< V* SUrkey- head of the Animal Husbandry Department, says hat it history repeats itself the price of cattle will not stay cheap, and that it is therefore a good time to start foundation herds and be in position to sCH some cattle when prices rise in the future While not eVery farmer hould produce beef cattle, many can jo so at a profit, he thinks. Tho winter period in South Cnrolina is relatively short and muy be made shorter by the use of such forages as velvet beans and soybeans, Prof. Star key declares, adding that there are many acres of the land now under cultivation which under the re* ducod crop acreage plan would make ideal pastures for beef cattle, but unfortunately we have relatively few good pastures and there are very few farmers who have given beef cattle a Chance to make good. Some advantages which beef cattle have over other classes of livestock in this state are pointed out. by the .specialist; They, utilize large quantities of cheap roughage; they make good use of pasture lands which we far from market; they require small investment in sheds and buildings; and they are less likely to die from Ji^asc. i ^yarning against scrubs, too many Ql which are still being produced, Prof. Starkey continues; "The man who loses on scrub cattle is the producer rather than the buyer. The average high grade steer will weigh about 200 pounds more than the scrub. at two years and will bring usually about two cents more per pound. This difference is usually the difference between profit and loss. H A battalion of marinesjboarded the battleship Wyoming at' Hampton.

Hence the importance of saving as much seed as possible from this year's crop, not only for personal use but to bring iu cash from sules to meet increasing local demands. Methods of harvesting vary accord" ing to acreage and equipment, says K. W. Hamilton, extension agronomist, who advises that where considerable acreage is to be harvested, the vines may be cut with mower or reaper and binder, cured in small shocks and then threshed in a grain thresher. Where available, a grain combine may be used or a special soybean harvester, of which there are several makes on the market. Small acreages, he says, may be harvested by putting with a scythe, curing and flailing out. If vines and seed are allowed to get thoroughly ripe>in the field, harvesting may be doife by driving a wagon down rows, pulling up plants and hitting them a sharp blow across the edge of the wagon body, shattering the seed into the wagon and throwing the stalk back on the field. Lugofi' Demonstration Club Met The Lugoflf home demonstration club held its regular monthly nieeting at the club house on Tuesday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, there being an unusually large attendance. The meeting wps called to order by the president, Mrs. J. L. Gettys, who brought up several business matters before the members. Mrs. Kathleen Watts, of Camden, was a visitor at the club, who came for the purpose of getting the Lugoflf club to take charge of the -NR A booth during the fair, seeing that the NRA pledges , are- 'signed and the Blue Eagles distributed. After putting this before the club, which she very clearly explained, eacn member present also signed pledges. Another out-of-town visitor was Jean Harris, of Camden, who is connected with the Associated Charities. She told the club about the work of her association, especially some interesting facts about the Children's Home in Camden. After discussing the Lugoflf community booth for the fair, the meeting was then turned over to the home demonstration agent, Miss Sadie Craig. She showed the members how to make cottage cheese. She then made several announcements of various meetings which are to be held during October at the club house. The hostesses for the month were Miss Nina Jones and Mrs. Dallas Mahoney, who served iced tea and cake. A negro 68 years old, living at Georgetown, voluntarily turned in his drivers license the other day, saying that his eyesight is getting poor, and it ought to be revoked, which it was.

Frog*' Winter Quarter* at Bottom of the Pond Frogs are just us Industrious frost dodgers us are birds, but while the birds travel thousands of wiles to winter quarters, the frog migrates but a few feet, and that straight down. The frog Is a cold-blooded animal (like some of our big magnates), and has no power to raise his bodily temperature above that of surrounding water or air. lie oau stand quite a bit,of chilly weather, and can even survive after being partially frozen for a short time, but the smart frog avoids the frost. At the first sign of Ice forming ou Ids favorite pond, the frog empties all the air from his lungs and dive* into ( the water, burying himself In the .soft mud at the bottom. The Ice may freeze solidly over the surface of the pond or lake, but the frog selects a place deep enough so that there will always be some unfrozen water above bis bed. lie thus gets enough oxygen through his skin to keep him alive, although he seems to be dead. With the lee gone In spring, n couple of warm days are usually enough to wake him up.?Pathfinder Magazine. t Toy Dog* Popular Toy dogs nre among the most populur of ull canine breeds as pets, and In this class the Pouierunlans stand well toward the top. They bring to their owners a perfect animal companionship, are, responsive to good care and attention, and display a rare degree of courage and fidelity. There Is no other breed of toys that admits of ns wide a range of colors, under the standards set by the American Kennel association, as the Pom. He may come in brown, black, red, chocolate, orange, cream, sable, beaver, blue, white or parti-colors. The coat is soft and silky, with a fluffy undercoat, with long, straight, shining hair acting as guards. The tall like a feathered plume, curried flat over the back. This is chac^ acteristic of the breed. The head has a fox-like appearance. W The Sea'* Cemi Four substances complete the entire list of objects contributed by the ocean to the Jewel box.

There are, however, three other precious muterials found In the ocean, from which jewelry Is miaJe?namely, eorul, amber and caftieo shells. It Is true that the water in the ocean contains gold, silver and many other precious metals and valuable minerals, but these are largely held In solution, and In the case of metals are extremely expensive t9 recover. For example, the amount of gold In sea water averages one ounce to 31,000 tons of water.?Washington Star.

Fall Time To Fight Peach Tree Borers Clemson College, Oct. 6.-?Effec^fe control, of peach tree borers, which annually destroy great numbers of peach trees, can be secured with paradichlorobpnzine, say extension Specialists, who advise the use of this chemical in early October in the Piedmont and around October 15 to 20 in the other areas. For trees four and five years old, three-fourths of an ounce per tree, ! for older trees one ounce, is suggested. Until a safe method of treating young trees is perfected, it will .be necessary to remove the worms by i hand from trees under four years old. This hand work can be done during November. The trees are prepared for treat- i ment by removing the trash and grass for about .a foot around the ! trunk and leveling the soil even with ' the topmost borer gallery. The crys- j tals are applied in a circle around ' the trunk about one inch from the J bark and about six shovelfuls of dirt ] placed in a mound around the trunk j I and packed down firmly, witih care | I that the crystals are not thrown 'against the b;irk when the dirt is j applied. After four weeks of exposure, the ! mounds are removed from trees four and five years old and after six weeks from older trees, and fresh soil returned to the original level to avoid winter injury.
