More and more people who are
separated by distances are using
the telephone to keep friendships
atyve. and to maintain family ties.
The relief from anxiety and the
pleasure of hearing a friendly,
.cheerful voice, give satisfaction and
value which is almost priceless.
Yet rile chat of a telephone con
venation betwoea
friends or relatives
who are miles apart is surprisingly
low. By using station-to-station
service aft?jr 7 p. m. you can talk
a distance of ISO miles for about
50c, and greater or less distances
for correspondingly low cost.
If the town you wish to call is
not lilted in the front of your telephone
directory, just ask your "long

New Farm Program;
Before Congress
[ Clemson, Feb. lO.-The new Unn
pi ok run i tt? ?et forth in bill* now be
fore Congress was the subject of much
discussion mid comment last week at
the meetiuK of the Southern Agricultural
Workers in Jackson, Mississippi
fu cording to D. W. Watkins. director
W the Extension Service, who attended
m portion of thia Jackson meeting. |
[ ?"The- Federal plan/* Mr. WaUdna j
explains, "involve? a comprehensive
|Wd systematic program of soil conservation
and crop improvement similar
to but on a larger scale than that
which has been conducted through
the agricultural .extension agencies of
the country. Crop control would be
only incidental in the new plan. IJtie
main difference will lie in the greater
scope of the new program, made posHlble
because of grants to stimulate
Bound types of farming. Congress is
expected to work out a plan of grants
to cooperating farmers, the payments
being justified on the basis that farmers
already contribute heavily to
the tariff beheflts received by American
industries.
"The long-time features of the new
program may provide for cboperatlon
by state governments. The apportionment
of grants to the states will
bd in accordance with a plan not yet
Anally determined. A number of
bases for making these grants are being
discussed, however, such as The
Acreage and Value of Major Soil Depleting
Props, The Value of the Loss
of Exports during the Depression, etc.
Under the bills as now written, the
new program will consist largely of
putting into effect the sound farming
principles and methods taught by
Clemson College through its Extension
Service for 20 years or longer,
with the difference that grants will
now be available to stimulate and
encourage types of farming that are
best in the long run.
South Carolina is in a fortunate
position to take up the type of program
provided in the new legislation,
because sound principles "are already
fairly well establish^. In soil conservation
and much progress has been
made in recent years in the improvement
of cotton,_the principal crop of
this state."
Syrup Mixtures
Trap For Thief
Sugar cane syrup mixed with motor
car lubricating oil provided anything
but "happy motoring," especially during
those cold days. A negro car
owner In the.Elloree section has found
this out, and also he has discovered
that .Jt isn't a good policy, by any
means, to tamper with the stock of
motor oil in a neighbor's garage.
R. L. Bull, mail carrier at Parler,
relates the story of the rapidly diminishing
stock of motor car oil in his
garage, and his loss to discover Just
where the oil was going. There was
a dozen or. more cans of oil in the
garage. One by one the cans disappeared,
and Mr. Bull was not using
the oil himself. 1
He. kit uP?n a novel plan to solve
the problem. Taking one of the cans
to a merchant," he had a hole cut in
the can. A considerable portion of
the oil was drained, and in its place,
wugar cane syrup was poured. The
hole was then carefully sealed, and
the can replaced with the others in'
the garage. It was only a night or
two before the "doctored" can was
i missing and then " Mr. Bull waited
developments.
Pretty soon he had news of a negro
car owner experiencing considerable
difficulty In getting his car to run.
The engine Was sluggish. It Just
wouldn't turn over.
- Mr. Bull went to the assistance of
thp negro. Some of the lubricant was
drained out. He found the mixture of
attend syrup, and tW pafrty responsible

and representative farmers and farm
women have been arranged to inform
farm people of the outlook for farm
commodltiea and to get their views as
to the type of farm program best suited
to each county," says Mr. Watkins.
"The views of farmers throughout
the country will be transmitted to
the state and Federal administrative
authorities ho as to bring about a
truly democratic type of farm program
rather than one conceived and
dictated by a central authority.
"Work hub been going forwurd for
moro than u year looking to tho fuller
duvclopiuont of farm piograms by
farm people. The objective in such
programs will he to provide much of
the food and feed required ou farms,
to conserve, soil, improve quality of
crops being produced, and generally
to raise the standards Of living of |
farm people. The program thus developed
is expected to harmonise with
the provisions of any measures en-1
acted by the present Congress."
Aiding in presenting the material
to farm groupa are the district extension
farm and home agents; O. M.
Clark, extension farm management
specialist; and R. H. Rogers, senior
economist representing the Exteusion

SIDELIGHTS OF THE WILDLIFE
CONFERENCE
There 1m something inspiring shout
[a national roll call and having all
I Dtu two state* wun delegates present
and reporting. This was the case at
n Wednesday gathering last week in
Washington during the North American
Wildlife Convention.
The President of the United States
called this convention, and the sports!
men and conservationists responded
I to the tune of 2,000 strong. Mexico
und Canada sent representatives.
Out of this week's discussion!? reporting,
lobbying and hard work, grew
the "General Wildlife Federation"?
a non-profit membership corporation,
wltlif objectives, and directed by a
board of 19 members, 13 of whom
were e^ted by the state represeutaI
tlves of the several regions.
J. N. "Ding" Darling, of Iowa, was
elected temporary chairman, and A.
C. "Zan" Heyward, of Columbia, director
from the third region, embracing
West Virginia, Virginia, North and
South Carolina.
The purposes of the federation are:
To organize all agencies, societies,
clubs and individuals which are or
should be interested In tb? restoration
add conservation of wildlife into a
permanent, unified agency for the purpose
of securing adequate public recognition
of the needs and values of wildlife
resources.
To develop a comprehensive program
for the advancement, restoration
and conservation of wildlife.
To present to the public such pertinent
facts, discoveries and Information
us may contribute to the solution
of the problems involved in the
restoration and conservation of wildlife.
To cooperate with other general
wildlife federations in other countries
on this continent.
Aftor listening to reports, papers,
resolutions and speeches?for a week,
this fact was impressive to us from
1 South Carolina. While many of the
j stutes were concerned with conditions
of: stream pollution, floosing of all
water* and the losing of the entire
landslde in the anowy grip of win*
tor, extreme scarcity of food and covpublio
domain, and other problema
either input-made or in acceMance
with the whims of nature; our etate
stands out aa one having to overcome
only the abuaea of man.
Mother Nature endowed us with a
rich heretage. Here we have the natural
habitat of aa fine a bird, aa game
a hah, aa nporty an animal, aa any
atate, minua the ravage* of climate
and the imposition* of waatea from
crowded industrialism. Wo atlil have
a sample of the bounteous supply of
game given ua; their home* are more
or leaa intact; their lnvironient ia
good. Our unly job is for the hunters
and fishermen themselves'to kill and
deatroy leaa, that they may tako more
in the aporttng puattline that wa*
originally intended.
Striking was a statement hy Darling
given in his ringing style in his
keynoto speech Monday: "Wealth
will continue to exist on this continent
only so long as the natural resources
of our soil and water continue
to yield up their riches. When
these are gone prosperity, standards
of' living arid happiness among our
people will vanish with them."
The student council's Investigations
of a cheating racket at the University
of North Carolina has about finished
its work. Up to .Tuesday 46 students
j had been suspended for cheating, The
investigation disclosed the fact that
an alumnus of the university headed
a ring which stole examination questions
and sold them to students.
