My Poultry Project
(By Peggy Holland)
My one hundred Rhode Island Red
baby chicks arrived at my home on
January .Tist. Our home agent, Miss
Craig, and state poultry specialist,
Miss N'eely, brought them to me and
didn't leave until I hftd been given
full instructions just how to care for
them. I wash to say at the very beI
ginning I owe all of my success to
Miss Craig and Miss Neely as th.s
is my first experience in poultry pro|
jects. My brooder was cut down to I
bxlO feet and my furnace was made
a tiny bit smaller as well.. As everything
was refuse material about the
place including nails, etc., I or.iy
spent sixty-five cents for stove .p;pe
and damper. The first week rr. >
chicks ate only seven pounds of feed.
When they were seven weeks old I
sold my first broilers which brought
me an average of about fifty cents
each. When they were ten weeks < Id
Mi-s Craig asked the Major 4-H Poultry
girls to bring a coop of tN.r'
broilers to the community market to
be judged. We did, and I won first
prize which was a lovely box of car.dy
that was given by the Shriners of
Camden. Each g:r! receiver! a ? :"
candy according to her prize. We a.l
appreciated these gifts so much. It
will cause u< to work harder anoir.. r
year. On April 14th, the day of the
Poultry Show, I pauiV.ff my note '
the ( amden Shrine (Tub which had
Ix-en so generous as to make us a loan
of the money with which to purchase
our chicks and allow us so much time
to work and pay it back to them.
I'p to this time my feed for the chick amounted
to $7.55 and the cost of the
chicks was $*.78 making a total of
$16..T.T. I have sold sixty-four ch.ck
ens for $41.60 and have twenty-nire
pullets left to keep for breeding pur- j
poses. I hope to do more another
year in poultry project*.

How Ho loomed Not to 'Wake Kditor*
Too Seriously
By K. O. Schober, Kditor and Pub-'
lUhvr, the Hudson, S<>ut1? Dakota, i
Hudson i to. - ft
In the summer of 188fi, as I'was j
walking by the |>i*i 111intr office whore jt
the town paper, thy Eden Echo, was,
published, in the old building just L
north of the Hudsonite offjoe, Kditor c
K. ti. YVurden was standing in the t
door unci he asked nte if 1 didn t *
want to eoiue in and learn to set type,
and as this was something I had been f
crazy to learn, I promptly accepted s
his proposition and he taught me the t
casek ' I
After working three years,, and ,
practically running the Kcho single-,v
handed and alone, with Kditor Wor-J C
den, who had meanwhile passed the ^
legal examination and had been ad- ^
m it ted to the bar, writing an octas
ional editorial and with Bill Cable r
tunning the roller for the old army
press for me, I was getting top wages .
fur those days, $d a week, and I had j j
to take most of that out in orders on I c
the grocery stores.
And those were the good old days. I*
The editors in various towns used to j
get all hot up about each other's edi- [
torials and called each other skunks, 1
nincompoops and blatherskites and j
.shitepokes and other things that are ^
not mentioned in polite society these t
days, and 1 used to get-a lot of kick ^ t
out of the way they went after each
other, for my boss was a past master ^
at vigorous vituperation, and he used j
to take the hide off the fellows up at \
t 'apton who thought they Were some i
editors. ff
t got the scare of my life one day, r
when a very distinguished gentleman j
came in and asked for the editor, i
Kditor Worden was out, which Ijj
thought a minute afterward was prov- l
idential, for the distinguished visitor
was Kditor Nash of the Sioux Valley I
News and he and my boss had been (I
lambasting each other and calling (
each other all the mean things they {
could think of in their respective pa- i
pers, so I thought that there certainly i
would be murder committed if he and ^
my boss gbt sight of each other.
I asked Mr. Nash to take a seat in
Kditor Worden's private sanctum
sanctorium, and I sneaked out the |
back way to find Worden and tell him
to beat it for Lord's sake, as I didn't
want the office cluttered up with any
corpse, but he only laughed, and ^
went back to the office with me, despite
my frantic protests, and when '
he and Editor Nash met, they almost
embraced each other, and they hobnobbed
like two old cronies who' had
not seen each other in years, and ,
when Editor Worden escorted Editor ^
Nash up the street to where he had .
tied his horse, hitched to a highwheeled
buggy, they went arm in arm
and they shook hands a dozen times j
and acted as though it was almost
breaking their hearts to part. ;
I was pretty mad about it and I told ^
my boss he was two-faced as heck,
and I was disgusted with his actions, ^
and he laughed and said that what ,
they said about each other in their
papers editorially did not amount to '
a hoot, as far as friendship and their
personal feelings for each other were (
concerned, that it was all in the game, i
and for me not to pay any attention <
to it.
Toll House Being Razed j
Work under the supervision of the
State Highway Department is this .
week going forward in tearing away
the toll house at the Wateree river '
bridge and paving the space occupied
by the house heretofore. They will
also put a surface treatment on
the bridge.
Lawrence Williams, colored man,
was hit in the head by a timber
Wednesday while the razing of the
toll house was under way. He whs
carried to tho Camden hospital for
treatment.
Lake Murray Carp
Caught In Saluda
Once again carp are swarming up
the Saluda river, thanks to Lake
Murray.
Some lot) pounds of these fish were
brought to Anderson yesterday afternoon
by a party of fishermen, who
said they caught them in seins. Some
of these fish weighed several pounds.
In the spring of the year carp swim
up .streams to spawn. Years ago
they came up the Seneca, Saluda and
Savannah in such numbers that Anderson
county farmers used them for
fertilizer, dropping a fish to e-ach h'.il
of corn. They learned this trick from
the Cherokee Indians.
When power plant dams were built
>n these rivers, the carp could no
longer come upstream. A law was
passed by the legislature compelling
certain power companies to build
channels around the dams. This was
done, but no water was turned into
the channels and fish can't walk.
I,ake Murray has been stocked with
carp, however, and once more it is
possible for them to migrate up the
Saluda river and other streams empying
into the lake.?Anderson Independent.
