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.

September Calls For
Care With Livestock
Clemson College, Sept. 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."
"Put htm at the pajama counter."
suggested the proprietor, "and fasten
a card on him with these words:
"Our pajamas are of such superior
quality that even the man who sells
them cannot keep awake.
A. Ixmis Wood, defeated candidate
for congress in this district, has invited
all the defeated candidates in
Cherokee county, his home, to a picnic
at Dogwood springs this evening,
with their wives and sweethearts.
Maybe he will serve that rooster in a
atew.?Yorkville Enquire.

May Prevent Weevil
Damage To Cowpeas
Clemson College, Sept. 1.?Weevil
damage to cowpeas is largely preventable,
says W. 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."

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.?
