Preserve The Surplus Farm folk of rain-blessed South Carolina should read carefully of the | great damage being wrought by the re. nrd drought in other sections of the country and act accordingly. Kach day brings r.ews of the greater scarcity of food and feed, and also of rising prices for those products. It requires no great powers of prediction to realize what, the situation may be when the frost of fall definitely ends the growing season. These farmers who preserve all surplus fruit, vegetables and other products stand to sell them during the coming winter at handsome profits, a- well a/ insuring their own families against having to purchase such food from a rising market. The same situation holds true for hay, other forage and grain for feed. Those who make the most of this situation very likely will find income from products other than cotton will offset living costs ar.d leave cotton money as profit. Success comes to those who make the most of opportunities offered and this is an opportunity for Southern farmers that is not to be ignored.? Anderson Mail. Wade Wcsterby, tenant farmer, was stabbed to death at Utica, Miss., by G. D. Newman, landlord, during a quarrel over a bale of cotton. The stabber claims self defense. He surrendered to the sheriff. Federal revenues from liquor taxes for July reached $38,823,560, an increase of $5,000,000 over the previous month. I Force-Molting And Ail-Night Lights Clemson College, Aug. 25.?The practice of forcing hen* into molt during the summer or early fall when eggs are cheap in order to start them laying in the early winter has been followed by a few poultrymen for many years. Most experiments, however, have shown that hens allowed to molt normally made a greater profit then those forced into a molt when no lights were used, says P. H, Gooding, extension poultryman, calling attention to results of two years' trials at the Alabama Experiment Station. These show that hens forced into a molt and then put under all-night lights were much more profitable du/ing the winter months than hens which were not forced to molt and were not put under lights. (./'Hens may be forced into a molt by discontinuing , feeding a laying mash and keeping only grain in the feeding troughs," Mr. Gooding explains. "After the birds discontinue laying and start molting, it is wise to feed them a small amount of laying mash daily, about three pounds daily to each 100 hens. This may be moistened with milk or water. When J the herts have bben out of production for two weeks they may be fed laying mash in the usual way. As soon as the hens get part of their new feathers, the all-night lights may be started, and two weeks thereafter the hens should start laying. "If electricity is available, a 10 or 15-watt light for each 100 hens will be sufficient. These lights should hang in the center of the house above the mash hoppers and water troughs. If one does not have electricity, one kerosene lantern to each 100 hens may be used satisfactorily." A Jewish committee at Geneva, Switzerland, thru its president, Dr. Mahon Goldmann, has warned the Hitler regime of Germany, that Jewry has known more powerful adversaries than the Third Reich and has "always outlasted them." Big Business Needs Reconstruction Clemson College, Aug. 25.?"South Carolina people are great lovers of the soil and upon that love rests our strong patriotism," said Neville Bennett, chairman of t^e House Ways and Means committee of the state legislature, speaking at Farmers' Week here last week on "The Financial Reconstruction of Our State Government," Mr. Bennett was contending for real reconstruction in governmental affairs to attain lower and more equitable taxation as a necessity if we would save our homes and other property and operate the state's business successfully. Asserting that the government of South Carolina is the largest business enterprise in the state, the speaker insisted that this big business must be operated upon business-like principles to be economical, safe and efficient. This all patriotic citizens would concede, he said, even though various departments and institutions j might for a time not have all the | funds needed for maximum efficiency. , Three principles of economic operation of the state government/as of any good business, Mr. Bennett laid J down as guides which he and other leaders are laboring to follow. These are: Getting out of debt to eliminate interest burdens. Balancing the budget so that outgo may not exceed current -income. Adopting a uniform system of fiscal years for all departments of the state's big businesspand a uniform system of accounting, to eliminate confusion and reduce overhead costs of government.
