Bi^ Turtle Has Rival The following article clipped from a Washington daily will be read with interest by older citizens of Camden and Kershaw county who well knew Mr. Barnes as a boy. Dr. George S. Barnes insists it's no fish story ?and he has part of the evidence to prove it. Dr. Barnes, who lives at 1414 Montague St. N. W., was interested in the Herald tale yesterday about the arrival in town of Thalassochelys C'aretta, age somewhere between 150 and '100 years, weight 500 pounds. After reading the story he hopped into his car and traveled down to Thally's special suite, with bath, in the aquarium at the Department of Commerce Building. With him was a very large bundle. Ushered to Thally's apartment, Dr. Barnes looked the big fellow over for several moments. Then he said: "So this is the largest turtle in captivity! Why, the one I caught laM year was twice, maybe three times, as large." J* red (i. OcMnger, director of the aquarium, looVcd dubious. Whereupon Dr. Barnes proceeded to untangle th< large bundle he had brought. The h? ad of a turtle emerged?and n head tha: in comparison dwarfed Thally's. Orsinger asked: "Only the head? Where's the rest of it?" Expect CCC Camps To Be Permanent The law creating the CCC will expire on March 31, but officials believe it will become a permanent institution and tl;at Congress will have little opposition to such a -development. Hog prices reached 5 cents a pound on the Chicago market this week. The international Salvation Army officials are in session in London to elect a new head for the organization. Johan Lang, official hangman of Austria, has been committed to an asylum. Two much work in his profession drove him crazy. Since February he had executed 12 Nazis, and nine Socialists. For each execution Lang was paid $33.50, half of which went to his two assistants. Dr. Barnes smiled: "It made mighty good eating." Dr. Barnes said he had found his turtle on the sand at Braden Iioach, Cortez, Florida. If Thanlly, who arrived here Friday from Woods Hole, Mass., bounces the scales at the 500pound mark, Dr. Barnes estimates that the weight of his find must have been at least .half a ton. Dr. Barnes has consented to permit the head of his turtle to he put on display beside Thallassochelys Carettu. it w???i i !,!

L?That September is an important time in livestock management U #Wown by these reminder# from extension specialists. Animal Husbandry. Thoroughly Aciub the farrowing houses with hot water and lye, and just before farrovyiog wash the #ow#, particularly the udders, with warm water and soap. When pigs are four to seven days old, haul sows and litter# to clean territory, preferably where for-l age is available. If sows do not farrow good litters, due to. some fault of their own, feed for 30 days and slaughter. Place ewes not.already bred on fresh pasture and make every. efFort to get them bred. See that beef cattle have enough grass to keep them from losing what they have gained during the summer. Sow barley, rye, or oats, for winter forage. Hog down corn with the hogs intended for market. With com use some good supplement such as fish meal. ^Dairying. Sow small" grain for winter grazing; it increases the jnilk flow. Feed some grain daily. Dry fall pastures lack nutrients . Dry up cows due to freshen in October to allow six weeks' rest . Cull boarder cows that won't make money for you this winter. Plan to plant one-half to one acre of oats and vetch for each cow, to be cut for hay next May. ^ Poultry. Dispose of early ;molting hens. Keep laying mash before hens. Select earliest maturing pullets and put in permanent laying houses. Be sure the bifcils are free from worms before moving them from the range. Relief Rolls Grow Heavier New York, Aug. 23.?One out of every four persons in America s greatest metropolis is receiving government relief. Every time the clock ticks $6.37 is paid to those on relief rolls. More than half a million dollars a day will be spent this year. These are some of the startling statistics included in the report to- j night of William Hodson, New York [ welfare commissioner, covering the j first half of 1934. It is estimated that at the present 1 rate ?20.000,000 will be spent during. It.;: j for relief within the city. Most; of this .u;n comes from state an.; j f'doial grants. The report shows that 190,000 families are on homo relief, receiving an i average of $40 monthly. Emergency, work wages are being paid to 125,000 persons, most of them heads of families. They receive an average of $00 a month. Dependent children being cared for in boarding houses and other institutions at public expense ^number 23,500 and 19,000 other dependent children are being cared for in their own homes through grants made to widowed or abandoned mothers. Nine thousand homeless men and women were given food and lodging during the month of August, according to the report, and 22,500 aged persons are being assisted in their own homes under the old age security act. The welfare department is assisting 2,900 families of veterans in normal relief activities, in addition to the 10,000 families of veterans who are receiving home relief. The public schools have served 800,000 free lunches for children and 7,500 families have received free medical and nursing services at the expense of the city. The estimates of $20,000,000 for 1934 relief expenditures in the city indicates a phenomenal leap from the mere $10,000,000 expended in 1929 when the depression had its beginning. Twenty-Five Year Old Fire Dying Out A coal mine fire that has smoldered nearly 25 years at Matheson, Colo., is dying out, virtually extinguished by an 11-week waged by a crew of 2d men working under the direction of the United States Geological Survey. It was "'started by campers. A few days ago workmen succeeded in cutting around the burning area, leaving it to burn itself out. Hundreds of pounds of explosives were used in surrounding the fire. A Good SuggestioS "I can't do a thing with Jones," said the manager. "I've had him in three departments, and he dozes all day long."

C. Nettles, extension entomologist, recommending the following four practices underlying successful cdntrol: , o 4 , f # ' j First, harvest crop as soon as possible; second, treat seed to kill weevils; third, store where seeds will not be rein/ested by weevils spreading from infested seeds; fourth, prevent field infestation by feeding infested seed to animals before early summer. ,kThe weevil which is often observed crawling among cowpeas is the adult or parent insect," Mr, Nettles states in explaining its several stages. "Many of the adults fly from storage bins to fields where peas are growing and lay their eggs on the pea pods. From these minute white eggs develop the white grubs which burrow into the seeds. "Often at harvest many small larvae are present, though outwardly the seeds are in excellent condition, j The grub changes into a pupa and, later into an adult, which cuts out a : circular hole with its sharp scissorlike jaws. With each successive generation produced in storage, the damage becomes cumulatively greater. "Carbon disulfide simply and affectively destroys the weevils present at harvest, and will not injure the germination of the seeds. Since carbon disulfide is highly inflammable, it should be used with great caution. Air-tight containers or bins afe necessary Bince the gas formed permeates into all portions of the container from the top. One of the simplest containers is a 50-gallon barrel. Carbon disulfide should be placed at the top or poured directly on the seed'Vj be fumigated. Three ounces is sufficient for a 50-gallon barrel. "Air-slacked lime one part mixed with six to eight parts of cowpeas gives some protection. The lime will not kill the developing larvae, but is effective only against the adult. "Tight cloth sacks are very desirable for storing weevil-free cowpeas, jute sacks being too open to be of( value. "Farmers' Bulletin 1275, 'Weevils in Beans and Peas', /which may be obtained without cost from your j ' ongressman in Washington, D. C.,' gives full information on the sub-1 ject." Arkansas had its first ie$J rai^Rn Sunday since the middle of May. Officers Have Right To Hold Suspects Supposing that some day you were a stranger in a strange twon. And c robbery were to occur in a place you had visited a few minutes before. Then you were seen leaving town a. few minutes after the robbery. Would I not officers of the town be justified in arresting you as a suspicious character ? Well, that is just what happened last November when Union county's tax col^etor's safe was robbed of about $1,000 in cash and checks to the amount of $700. ' Two raincoat salesmen, who had been in, the courthouse that day?and left town immediately after the robbery occurred?were arrested by the Sheriff of Union and Mecklenburg county officers, and placed in jail for a short time. Now these men may have been as innocent of w^ong-doing as babes or angels in the heavens, but they were at the right place at the right time here in Monroe?strangers?when the money was stolen. One of the men sued the officers I for $25,000 for false arrest and imprisonment. But the court said last week that he should not recover?under the circumstances. It is related that one of the jurymen remarked that if the guy had robbed the safe of a thousand dollars it wouldn't look just right to pay him twenty-five thousand for the job.? Monroe, N. C., Enquirer. French officials express the belief that Russia will become a member of the League of Nations in September. Enlistment In Marine. Corps Savannah, Ga., Aug.
