Reasonover Manager | i- ^ I Two Economy Plans To Winter Beef Cows Glemaon College, April 11.?The secret of economic beef production in South Carolina liecs in carrying the breeding herd through the winter at low cost yet without losing much weight, says Prof. L. V. Starkey, cilia#-"animal husbandman hero, who tolls us the secret at this season ho that proper preparations to this end may be made' during the growing season.' Two methods the specialist gives briefly for carrying cattle cheaply through winter. One system calls for dividing tho corn land into two parts, planting Corn and velvet beans in one part and corn alone in the other. The corn land which has no beans is to bo seeded to rye early in October. The corn from the velvet heart' area is to be snapped in fall and the cows grazes! on the velvet beans for the first half of tho winter. For tho last half of tho winter they may be grazed on the rye area. During periods when the land is too wet. for grazing on rye the cows may be maintained on the stover which has been harvested from this area. Another system calls for planning now to hold in reserve certain graz-1 ing not to be used until winter. The plan is to hold in reserve two acres of good Bermuda grass per cow. This should not be grazed during tho latter part of the summer. When tho cows ; arc turned on this pasture they are to. bo fed enough cottonseed meal or j cottonseed cake to keep them from I losing weight. If the pasture is good, i three pounds of cottonseed meal per j head per day should bo sufficient. Kconomic wintering should enable I the farmer to sell a crop of calves each jfear and realize a net profit of at least $10.00 per cow,'Mr. Starkoy , concludes. James Daer, 31, notorious Louisiana convict, who refused to stay behind prison bars, is dead. He was killed by a guard when he made an attempt to get away Monday night. Aged Educator Dead Bishopville, April 12.?Charles M. Furman, former head of the depart- | ment of English at Clemson College, I died late today at the home here of j a daughter, Mrs. W. M. Herbert, of' a heart attack. He was 93 years old. ' Profesor Furman, who retired from the Clemson faculty some years ago, had been active and in good health until about three weeks ago. General News Notes South Carolina mills use more cotton annually than is produced in tho state, J. Hoy Jones, stato commissioner of agriculture, commerce and industry, said in an address at Columbia, owing to the growth of manufacturing being faster than that in agriculture. The 2118 textile plants in the state, lie cited, employ 00,032 men and women and pay out $40,004,007 annually in wages. 0. A delegation including Speaker Vlibson, Co}. J. Monroe Johnson and others, made an argument, apparently successful, before the PWA for an allotment of $325,000 to build a bridge and approaches six miles long over the Peodeo river at tho MarlboroDarlington county line, where a ferry has operated since the Civil war, called Cashua ferry. It would ntake a shorter route from Hodnettsville south. A report made to tho American j Hankers Association convention at Hot Springs, Ark., shows that during a period of six months 87 persons connected with banks were killed and 73 wounded by bank bandits in robbing banks over the country, and that money losses totaled $1,257,000. Prof. Vernon Cook, of the University of South Carolina, killed a 34pound wildcat in his room at Columbia. A charge of stealing an automobile was preferred against Webster Manton, bridegroom of six weeks, in a warrant sworn out at GetTney, by his father-in-law, W. H. Potter, promi- . nent planter of the Ashworth community. Mr. Potter told officers his daughter gave Blanton a check for $3,500 with the understanding that Blanton was going to Shelby, N. C., to purchase material for the purpose of erecting a new home, instead of going to Shelby, Mr. Potter said, Blanton had the check cashed and disapjx'ared. Richard K. Park, 10 years old, died in Spartanburg this week from aniline poisoning,Ccftbised by spilling a lot of the dye on his leg while working in a j printxn;oom at Lyman. He became I unconscious in an hour and a half, and died live hours after the accident. Aniline prevents the blood corpuscles from carrying oxygen, when absorbed I into the body through the skin. Wilbur Yoliva, overseer of Zion City, 111., and he that professes to believe that the world is Hat, took away the school books of 400 school children and sent the children home. There's row on in Zion City, but Voliva excused his actions by saying that the school district is without funds to carry on. Lawrence Gainey was held by the coroner and jailed at Darlington, for killing a child throe ye?ars old, by hitting it with his automoibile. -*?????????a Heavy Coat* ? Suite.
