A total of 521 acres of land was landscaped, 69 miles of highways were beautified, and approximately 2.500,000 cubic yards of earth were moved in grading projects. In the lower section of the state considerable emphasis was placed on draining swamps and lowlands, while in the upper and central part of the state one of the greatest needs was the building up of lands that had been washed away by water, and in many instances was practically worthless. The land terracing project terraced h.uun acres in scattered sections of the 14 counties by July 1. This work was done in a little over seven tractor hours. In Charleston county 600 rats were trapped by relief workers and were us? d for experimental purposes to determine what diseases were being transmitted from the rodents to human beings. It was found that through the experiment that the rats w - re transmitting only disease, i ua:a? I> ; iv pints i-ver. and this was dm- to the Mens on the rodents. Ih.iiiig 'he 15 mouths p? rit> I. three airports weie constructed, and tlire- j \v re imputed a,nd repaired.

The KItA lias also rebuilt 95 houses for resettlement families; moved one house, and demolished six. The colorful resettlement project, the Ashwood j Organized Rural community, in Lee I county, was the focus of this activity, no less than 75 houses being rebuilt for the clients settled there. Hundreds of the poor and needy were supplied fuel through the ef| forts of relief workers. Community wood yards were established in the larger cities and relief workers were used to cut wood that was distributed to those who were unable to do manual labor, and who did not have tlie money to pay for fuel. A total of 15,000 cords of wood were cut. The Administration also interested itself in the field of research and survey projects. During the 15 months period, 129 state and local surveys were made; 78 research projects were j carried on, and one traffic survey was conducted.

Hence it is a had practice, says 1*. H. Hooding, extension poultrymun, for poultrymen to attempt to lower expenses by cutting out the mash or cutting down on tho total feed. 7he best way to cut down expenses, Mr.'Gooding advises, is to cull regularly during tho fall, thus disposing of the hens that stop laying, and continue to feed tho hens that stay in production. Tho hens that quit laying can bo easily spotted by following tlu'se suggestions: The comb, wattles, and ear lobes of a hen enlarge or contract, depending on the condition of laying. If these parts are large and smooth, the bird is laying. When tho comb is shrunken and round, the bird is not laying. The whole abdomen of a laying hen is dilated so that the pelvic bones are widespread and the end of the breastbone is forced down, away from the pelvic bones so as to give a large capacity. It' the ends of the pelvic bones are soft and pliable, the hen is, in ail probability, laying at the time of the examination. If the bones are close together and tho points hard, the hen is not laying. Accurate culling is possible only in a well Ted flock, kept free from lice and mites throughout tho summer months. When a'hen stops laying she usually starts molting. The later a hen lays in tile summer the greater will be her* egg production, so the hligh producer is the late layer and lu'lice the late inciter, provided she receives a balanced ration. CONVICTED IN MARLBORO Jasper T. Jones Given Eight Years For Manslaughter Bennettsville, Sept. 20.?Jasper T. Jones, forty, textile worker, charged with the shotgun slaying of G. W.
