I Pasture Land Comes I Into The Limelight I clemson College, June 23.?("The I nit proposal of the United States I comment to rent pasture lands I kii brought to light the fact that I South iCaorlina has enough pastures I carry at least 40 to 50 thousand I lire cattle than they are carrying I lt present," says Prof. L. V. Starkey, I head of animal husbandry here. I "This should be. a very significant I foct in 'ho development of the ibeef little industry in South Carolina," I prof. Starkey continues. 'Tfwe now I have pastures for 50,000 cattle why I not make plans to have our own I cattle in the future? South Carolina I is not producing enough ibeef to feed I herself. It would therefo^ seem I wise to plan permanently to have I enough beef cattle to utilize otir best I pastures." I in this connection the specialist I thinks that there is a great opporI tunity to improve our pastures, I thereby increasing their caixying caI parity- b is of course true that I mgny so-called' pastures have very I little good grass. On such pastures I it would be advisable to keep very I few beef cattle for it is better to I understock the pastures than tp overI stock. "Pastures which contain a variety I of grasses, some of which are leI gumes (lespe<ieza, low hop clover and white clover) afford the most satisI factory pasture," he advises. I Greenville county expects to ship I about 100 cars of peaches this year, I beginning about the first of August. I About 20 amateur radio broadcastling stations are located in Greenville I county, and the boys take much inter est in their work with radio. I This state has granted permits to carry machine guns to the entire Charleston county police force, 11 I men, bringing the total in this Btate to 21, the others going to the state I constabulary and police at Greenville, Andrews and Columbia. Ralph B. Praytor former Southern Railway engineer and long prominent in railway circles, died Friday mornling at a Spartanburg hospital following several weeks illness. He had been employed by the Southern RailI way for 31 years. He was a memIber of the Presbyterian church, actlive in Masonic work and was treas^ urer of the Billy Sunday club. I was 54 years old and leaves a widow, I daughter and "son, besides two sisI ters and a brother. I Styles Scott, of 'Sarasota, Fla., hooked a two-pound trout; a pelican swooped down and swallowed the trout; Styles kept reeling in and caught^ the pelican and the fish. | (JET A GUARDIAN OF THE GATES South Carolina Should Elect a Gov-' ernor Who Will Not Open Prison The Anderson Independent makes some pertinent remarks as comment | on recent news and says: Clyde Barrow, notorious outlaw, and his woman companion, lkmnie Parker, were killed a few days ago | by officers who have trailed these desperadoes for a long time. Barrow had a criminal record thak included almost everything in the category from filling station stick-ups to butchery of peace officers. He was second only to John DiUinger and deserved death. Early in Barrow's career, however, there is an interesting fact that should be called to the public's attention. After one or two skirmishes with the law, as u minor criminal, ho was tried and sentenced to the Texas penitentiary. His record was bad, and he should have been kept there. Governor Ross Sterling, a soft\ hearted executive, pardoned Barrow and he .immediately turned to criminal pursuits that made his old record look like a pink tea party. Had the Texas governor kept Barrow in prison where he belonged, many of the desperado's victims would be alive today. The governor who pardoned Barrow early in his career of blood and crime deserves a part of the responsibility for the terrible toll of human lives this outlaw extracted before he was finally made to bite* the dust. South Carolina will elect a governor this year, and the voters should | see to it that a man who will keep the penitentiary gates shut on criminals is put in the executive office. Death of Mrs. Sallie Baker | ' O Mrs. Sallie 'Baker died at her home, St. Charles. iShe had (been sick for some time but her death was not expected at the time. Her death occurred June 11. The burial was at Bethany Baptist church, of which church she had been a member for a long time. The sendees were conducted by. her pastor. She was a Christian well thought of. She was the daughter of Jesse and Emma Christmas and was born September 15, 1865. 'She was married to Moultrie Baker, of St. Charles. Surviving memjbers of her family aye: Her husband, Moultrie Baker; a daughter, Mrs. Emma Baker, Sumter; and four sons, Barnie, Cedar Creek; Tinks, Spring Hill; Jim, Bishopville; William, Lucknow.?Bishopville Messesger. The ibacteria poison in tears is so strong that a solution of 40,000 parts of water to one of the fluid retains its germicidal property. Control The Weevil With Liquid Poison Clemson College, June ?3,?The prompt use of boll weevil poison in the liquid 1-1-1 mixture of calcium arsenate, molasses and water is advised by W. C. Nettles/extension entomologist, to protect cotton from the boll weevil. "An application of the 1-J.-1 mixture should be made when squares begin to appear on the plants and before they are largo enough to be punctured," says Mr. Nettles. "Additional applications should be made at intervals of five to seven days. More than three pr four applications are not recommended as the plants become* too large after this time for best results from the 1-1-1 mixture." Most farmers know that one gallon of water, one pound of calcium arsenate and one gallon of molasses constitute the sweetened mixture. The mixture should be used on the 'same day it is made since there hS a tendency for older material to burn the foliage. A mop made by tying strips of burlap' on the end of a stick seems to be the best method of applying the 1-1-1 mixture. A bucket is the only other equipment necessary. The mop should be used to stir the mixture at frequent intervals to prevent settling. "Farmers growing cotton on heavy red soils and having adequate dusting equipment may see fit to dust during the season, and they will find directions for using calcium arsenate dust in Extension Circular 104, Boll Weevil Control," the entomologist states. David Wesson, noted chemisrt, originator of Wesson cooking oil, is dead at his home at Montclair, N. J., aged 73 years. All AAA Committees Are Specially Invited Clemson College, June 23.?"All county ami local committers who have been serving in connection with the agricultural adjustment work in South Carolina are being specially invited to attend Farmers' Week at Clemson College, August 14-17," says Director W. W. Long, chairman of Farmers' Weejc Committee. "It is the intention of the authorities to issue to each committeeman a certificate of acknowledgment and appreciation for service in the agricultural adjustment activities, this certificate to be signed by the Secretary of Agriculture and the President of Clemson College." In speaking of the various appeals that Farmers' \Veek makes to rural people Dr. lx>ng stated that many who have attended past ^Farmer's Weeks havV said that the pleasure side of the occasion alone more than justifies, the trip. "There "is opportunity," says Dr. Long, "to get away from the routine of farm life for a few days, to see tho college and its attractive setting, to enjoy relaxation' and entertainment provided, to make new friends ?all entirely aside from what may be learned about ibetter farming and home-making." Aside from being a beautiful place Clemson has an ideal summer climate with the Blue Ridge mountains within easy reach. It is the former home of the great John C. Calhoun and Thomas G. Clemson, and nearby are many places of real historic interest, including Pendleton, the famous Old Stone Church, and others. Certainly it is a fine objective for a few days' outing and Clemson College will gladly welcome all who can come. I! " 1 1 " ' 1 " i Mendel L. Smith Mendel I* Smith, of.Camden, former circuit judge and one of the most brilliant attorneys at the South Carolina bar, passed away suddenly last week at his home in Camden, and in his passing the'fyar of South Carolina as well as tho judiciary mourns the loss of a JIno lawyer and a gentleman. Learned in the law as well as a keen student of human nature, Mendel L. Smith rose quickly to the top of his profession. Ho had tigurq# as a practicing attorney, in some tff the state's most sensational trials and he was in demand all over the state in cases ,of this character. He served his state in the legislature and he served his nation in the World war, and these records of service are evidence of the fact that he was public spirited. In his passing the state loses a worthy son and tho 'South Carolina bar a member who was always a credit to it.?The Anderson Record. I Mendel L, Smith Tho unexpected <leath of Judge Mendel L. Smith at hi* homo ii\ Camdeh Friday morning* is a loss to the Democratic party of South Carolina that will he felt for years to come..

Judge Smith was a man of wonderful and most moving eloquence and hi* success as an advocate and the great demand for his services as a speaker at public gatherings of all klnda served to show that true eloquence is still the great force that it has always been.?Chester Reporter.
