Three fish hatcheries and 46 lisli
nursery ponds,Jiave been built or are
under construction in the following
South Cardllna counties: Greenville,
Calhoun, Orangeburg, Hampton, Kersiiaw,
Oconee, Anderson, Florence,
Spartanburg and Suniter. The approximate
annual yield of the 'fish
hatcheries and ponds is 4,500,000 while
tin- total acreage is approximately
250. The Oconee , trout hatchery is
being built by relief labor for the
United Stutes Bureau of Fisheries.
The other nurseries are being constructed
for the South Carolina Game
department in cooperation with tho
Bureau of Fisheries.
in addition to lite llsh hatcheries
and ponds, there were other fish and
gnmo conservation projects constructed.
Included in these was the planting
of 515,000 bushels of oyster Hhells
and 3,000 bushels of seed oysters in
Ifeaufort county, and 70,400 bushels of
oyster shells planted in the public
waters of Colleton county.
Colonel Fulp pointed out in his report
that the South Curolinu KtlA,
n alizing the value of flood control for
conservation of land and eradication
of mosquito breeding areas, has worked
on a number of projects all conductive
to a betterment of public
health and public wealth. During the
15 months period, 109 miles of streams
were" cleared, 55 wells were dug, one
mile of levees, one mile of riprap
wall, two bulkheads, 21 dams, and one
spillway have been constructed.
Another important project completed
under the KRA was the Charleston
Yacht Basin and the incinerator in
tin- city of Charleston. The sand
blasting of tho State Capitol which
was begun under the CNYA program.!
was also completed under the Hit A.
Landscaping projects enabled the
KItA to give employment to many individuals
who were not physically
able to do hard manual labor. A total
of 14,775 trees were planted, and over
the same 15 months period 15,315
shrubs were also planted. 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. In ad I
dition, one airport building was constructed.
one emergency landing field
built, and one improved and repaired,
and two flood light towers, wore eonstriated.
Other projects on public property
given consideration by the Relief Administration
were 11 state, county and
city poor farms which were improved
and repaired, and two military and
naval reservations which were also
improved and 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.

Sell Hens When
They Stop Laying
Clemson, Sept. 28.?A hen makes
eggs from the feed she eats and unless
she gets u full feed she cannot
lay her maximum quantity of eggs.
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.
Cole, flfty-five, assistant director of
the life insurance company of Virgin^
ia, was found guilty of manslaughter
by a Marlboro county jury in general
sessions court here today.
Jones was sentenced by Judge S. W,
Shipp* to serve eight years in the
penitentiary. Counsel for Jones filed
a motion for an appeal, automatically
staying execution of sentence.
Jones was released Immediately on
bond signed by his employer and
brother. He was charged with slaying
Cole as the latter came to his
house to inspect an insurance book.
Defense contended that Cole came to
the house, after being warned to stay
away, and that .jouos shot Cole as the
tatter started in the house.
Cole's son and daughter-in-law, Mrs.
II. D. Cole, of Columbia, sat ai the
prosecution table throughout the trial.
Jones was surrounded by members
of his family and friends. This was
the fourih murder case, to be tried at
this session of court.
The uovi rnnietit of Ctvat Britain
has notified the other signatory milieus
that she will junk the naval
treaty and will embark upon a big
naval program.
Senator Tydings. of Maryland, says
he believes a "wholesale business revival
is now underway."

Hog slaughter probably would l J

Agent McCarloy in reviewing the b|
eflcial effedts of the adjustment ,>

Carley says.
ir these pigs had been finished f|

pork products are relatively peril

six months. The feed saved to car|
a larger number of animals throul

about a further material reduction I

drought and thereb^jjrovided for?
more orderly liquidation of hog nu|

necessary because of the extreil
shortage of feed. Without this I
vanced adjustment, a drought-reli|
l>ig buying program would have bel

ket would have been demoralized, J
much larger number of spring pil
would have been sacrificed at ligl
weights, and much valuable fed
would have been virtually wastel
