Island Prison to Be For
Kidnapers, Racketeers
Washington, Oct? 13.?An inaccessible
prison island for dangerous, incorrigible
federal convicts is soon to
become a reality and the enactment
of a law spelling life imprisonment
for those who make a business of
crime is under consideration by the
administration. ,
Both moves fit vitally into the
justice department's's relentless war;
to free citizens from the. fear of kidnaping
and business men from the
threat of racketeers. Harvey Bailey
and George Kelly, who received life
sentences for the Ursehel kidnaping,
are expected to be among the island
prison's first inmates, v.
The purpose, as disclosed by Attorney
General Cummings, is to put
the perpetrators of auch crimos behind
bars for good and imprison
them in a place vtfhere they will be
unable to influence redeemable prisoners
and connive at escape with outside
accomplices.
The tiny, crag-shored island of
Alcatraz, whose rocky bluffs rise
high above San Francisco bay, has
been chosen for the prisop. It has
long been " military prison. . Dangerous
currents swirl about its cliffs.
It is more than a mile from the
mainland. Cummings thinks it ideal
for his purpose.
The habitual criminal law is still
in its forfnulativu stages. Depart-:
inent officials hope to have it ready '
for recommendation to congress at
its coming session.
Was She Ked
A lady entered and seated herself '
in a train by the side of a salesman.
After a while the traveler said politely:
.
"Excuse me, Miss, but?"
Whenever he attempted to speak,
the girl threatened to give the alarm.
At last the train slowed up at a station,
and the traveler rose to his feet.
"I don't care whether you like it
or. not," he said, "but I want that
bag of strawberries you've been fitting
on for the last six miles^" ^

Who Builds His Soil
Succeeds In Farming
?
Anderson, Oct. 14.- "From the onehorse
farmer to the big-acreage op('rater
there are scores of Anderson
county farmers proving the tiame
story?'namely, that if you put humus
and nitrogen into the soil you can
grow crops?that the man who builds
up his soil will succeed in farming,"
says a Clemson College extension
worker after a recent tour of Anderson
farms. ?
On this point is an interesting
statement made by M. Byars, county
farm agent who has just resigned
to engage in farm management work
for the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company.
"Over a period of years," he says,
"we have pushed a soil-building program
coupled with a live-at-home program.
In following this soil-building
program we have been ordering each
season aroun*^0,000 pounds of Austrian
winter peas and vetch, which
gives v?s approximately 100,000 acres
of winter cover. This takes no account
of considerable use of other
winter covers and large general use
of such summer cover crops as cowpea*
and soybeans. The use of cover
crops is so well established that it
would continue even without the assistance
of a county agent."
And then wc have the testimony
of pioneer landvbuilders like J. Wade
Drake and J. P. Ivester and more
recent converts like Hugh Moore,
T. W. Johnson and others.
J. ^Vade Drake, selected several
years ago as Anderson's master
farmer, first of all has shown himself
a master soil-maker. He has remade
gulley-washed acres into productive
soil wtyho legumes. /Twenty ye&rs he
has been a believer in vetch, and is
now equally strong for Austrian peas.
Just these figures to indicate results
of his soil improvement: I-ast year
from 161 acres in cotton he gathered
158 bales. ,
J. P. Ivester, Belton, has built up
a light, sandy soil to where he is
getting profitable crops by the use
of summer and winter legumes. Every
man who tried to operate this
farm before Mr. Ivester had to leave
it because he could not make a living,
but Mr. Ivester has built a good home
and a profitable business.
Hugh Moore on a 31-acre farm
near Pendleton has used Austrian
peas two years after cotton and then
planted corn this year, which la yielding
twice that of a field across tha
road where the same fertilizer was
used plus three tons of stable manure
per acre. Nitrate of soda had no
effect on Moore's corrt after the peas.
Skeptical neighbors are beginning to
follow Moore's lead. ,;> ... .
T. W. Johnson, Pelzer, in three
years has increased his yield more
than 100 per cent by the'use of summer
and winter legumes?especially
Austrian pens. / ,

Feeding Sows and Pigs
To Secure Best Gains
Clemson College, Oct. 14.?Though
it is accepted that the place of the
hog in the farm scheme is to market
home-grown feeds, it must be remembered
that feeds like corn low in
protein and lime content need a supplement
to balance the ration, so that
the farmer will realize more from
his corn crop, says Prof. I* V.
Starkey, head of the Animal Husbandry
Department, who makes timely
suggestions on feeding the sow
and her pigs. - .
"It is generally recommended that
the sow receive no feed the' first 24
hours after farrowing," Prof. Starkey
advises. "Certainly it is a mistake
to full feed a sow at this time, though
if she shows signs of hunger she may
be allowed a thin slop made from a
double handful of bran, and water in
abundance.? A gradual increase of
feed is suggested until the pigs are
three weeks of age, when the sow
with a litter of seven or more pigs
should be receiving all she will eati
"If enough skimmilk or buttermilk
is available to allow a brood sow and
her litter about two gallons per day
it is not necessary to buy any protein
supplement. If not, it becomes
necessary to buy an animal protein
such as fish meal or tankage.
"The amount of these protein supplements
to use depends upon whether
or hot the sow ai)d litter have
access to fresh green forage,
as soybeans, cowpeas or alfalfa in
summer and the small grfflns. such
as barley, rye and oats in winter,
these forages are available only onehalf
to two-thirds as much supplement
is needed as in dry-lot feeding.
"Until the pigs are three weeks of
H"e the sow in dry lot may be fed
"a*,ation of one part of fish meal to
six parts of corn; if forage is available.
one part cf fish meal to 10 parts
I of corn. They may then be fed a
of the corn and fish meal they will
eat preferably in separate troughs,
with care not to allow the corn to
[become exhausted, which would result
| in the consumption of too jnuch n.->
i meal and expensive gains."
