CleiOBon, April 10.?"Jnog prices will probably not change materially during the next two or three months, and tl,e advance In prices during the summer months will probably be as great a8 usual or greater," says O. M. Clark, extension economist. The average prices from now until September will probably average somewhat higher than for the corresponding period of last year, he advises. ^xpluining his forecast, Mr. Clark points out that the inspected slaughter of hogs thus far during the current hog marketing year (since October 1. 1936) has been somewhat greater than the slaughter during the corresponding period of the year before. Two reasons for the Increase are the larger pig crop during the spring of, 1K36 and the short supply of feed grains through the principal hog producing states. Consequently the stox*age supplies of hog meat and lard are considerably larger than at this time last year and somewhat larger than average. Hut the number of hogs on farms on January 1 of this year was, except for January 1, 1935, the lowest in more than thirty-five years. Consumer demand has been stronger thus far this season than last season and probably will remain stronger throughout the remainder of the year, and further improvement is probable. "It intentions to plant corn reported as of March 1 are carried out and yields are normal, the production of corn in 1937 will be considerably greater than that of 1936 but smaller than average, and under such conditions hog numbers will increase," l^r. Clark concludes. "However, even with normal or larger than normal corn rrops during the next few years it will be up to the average for the Ave years previous to 1934."

The governor, the president of the senate aud the speuker of the house will each name three citizens. The senate has chosen S. M. Seattle, president of the Piedmont Manufacturing Company and president of the South Carolina Cotton Manufacturers' Association; A. E. Jiird of Columbia, president of the Citizens and Southern liauk of South Carolina; Homer M. Pace, executive vice president of South Carolina Power Company. The house hus chosen T. M. Merchant, of Greenville, president VictorMonughan Mills ' aud ohairman of the legislative committee of the South Carolina Manufacturers' Association; J. K. Breedin, managing director of the Farmers and '1 ax payers League. And the governor has not appointed his three yet. Speaker Blatt appointed us the third member Perry A. Price of Barnwell. The Sunday -Schools have had the two. greatest lessons of the Bible in two consecutive Sundays. Easter taught the Resurrection, on which hangs the faith of all Christians and without which all Christianity would be but a beautiful lesson in living. The recent lesson deals with the great creative act so Bimply told by Moses In the first words of the first chapter of the first book of the Bible. "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." Truly a clear and simple statement of fact, intended to instruct a simple, unlearned people. A university professor must let a man delve into all tho origins of things and form conclusions from exhaustive researches in the sources. For that reason only a mature, reflec-, tive mind can do real university work. But a lesser institution imparts definite instruction from master to pupil, otherwise the immature mind would cover a world of matter and have only vague ideas without certainty of anything. Moses was teaching the central, fundamental idea of God; lie could not deal in abstractions of theories. The extraordinary thing about the simple statement of Moses is not only his clarity of thought but the more striking fact, that all the learning of successive ages has not gone beyond what Moses said in a few words. The researches of the geologists, the physicists, the astronomers; the delving of metallurgists and mineralogists; - the labors of the biologists and the chemists?all end in confusion before the stupendous fact that what is here shows design, order and system. These attributes clearly bespeak a guiding and governing intelligence. Seed-time .and harvest, day and night, summer and winter, rain and drought?all obey laws. If laws there be, then system there is. Neither laws nor system can be accidents?all point to the Master Designer we call God. S This is the planting season. Wherever you look nature tells us of the seed-time. Cotton and corn are being planted from Charleston to Greenville. In the tobacco belt?Williamsburg, Clarendon, Florence, Horry, Darlington, Marion, Dillon?the farmers. are setting out tobacco. So things are looking up. The farmer is tho supreme example of faith. In March, April, May, June and July he puts his all into the land. Money, credit, toil and sweat?all go Into the making of something which may come in September and October, provided the rain and the sunshine be favorable. A man working for wages sees his recompense every week or two weeks or once a month; the merchant aiid the manufacturer may sell or hold their goods, the tangible value being present; but the farmer may lose it all in one hail storm, or a great wind. . This man of faith who feeds and clothes the world has no idea what his harvest will be nor, yet, what the value of it will be. He is at the mercy of the elements and under the whim and caprice of the market. Whatever he buys he buys at the other man's price; whatever he sells he sella at the other man's market. No forty-hour week was ordained for him; nor did any one guarantee him a minimum wage. , The farmer has more friends than any other man. Everybody is his friend; everybody admires him and extolla his virtues, the hardy, sturdy citizen who stands as a bulwark of freedom, the chief pillar of our institution?and all that. But this admiration and love for tho farmer is a part of our rankest hypocrisy. .We farmers -had better stop applauding Jokes, many of them are costing us enormously. Generally the farmer has a good easy time. All he has to do Is to get out of a warm bed at first day-light, milk a cow or two, feed a dozen hogs and a pair of mules beforu bfuakfasu?Aftci saids he mart Tells Of Work With Peanuts Jackson, Miss., April 18.?An aging negro educator, born of slave parents In Missouri, who as a child was stolen and traded for a race horse, humbly told the Mississippi Farm Chemurglc conference today of his scientific research, for which he seeks no reward other than knowledge he is contributing to the betterment of mankind. Or, Oeorge Washington Carver of 1 uskegee, Ala., institute for negroes, does not know how old he is, but after his address today his audieuce gathered arouud him to pay tribute to his knowledge of Southern agriculture and his successful research into industrial application of cotton, peanuts, sweet potatoes und other products. Interjecting bits of humor, l)r. Carver told of his work with peanuts, from which he has developed upwards of 300 useful products, including an instant coffee, flour, pickles, cheese, soap, vinegar, ink, various oils, candy, dandruff remedy und u host of others' He asserted a milk of the same composition us cow's milk can bo made fro mpeanuts, and that It can be "Just us fine as good Jersey milk or boarding house milk." He said ho had never seen the red soil of the south until he wont to Tuskegee forty years ago. "From Iowa State College, Ames, Iowa, I wondered about it," he said, "but I have decided the south is the richest section of the country and offers the greatest possibilities for agricultural-industrial development." Dr. Carver said he thought the "Time wad near when he will have to add a new kingdom to the animal, vegetable and mineral kingdom. I mean the synthetic kingdom." He had been working with ten peanut oils of various viscosity as a remedy for after effects of infantile palalysis for the last seven years, he continued. - --Remarkable success, lie added, had attended his efforts. "One victim now plays football." Henry F. Knight, Washington. D. C., chief of the U. S. bureau of chemistity and soils, suggested that scien| tists and chemists should seek new uses for agricultural by-products, the stalks, hulls, citrus pulps and the culls and surpluses of some years. A total of more than 22-million tons of by-products are produced on farms of the south each year, he declared, to say nothing of the surpluses. "If outlets could be found for these products that would give the farmer a fair price for his labor and investment it would mean millions of dollars added to the annual farm Income," he said. Senator Wheeler of Montana, and O'Mahoney of Wyoming, have Introduced a constitutional amendment which would provide that no Federal or state law should be declared unqonstitutional by the suprenAe court unless two-thirds of the members of the court, In separate opinions, held it "beyond a reasonable doubt." President Roosevelt t has recommended to congress that the Civilian Conservation Corp^je made a permanent part of the Federal recovery and relief program. . He would set the maximum of enrollees at 300,000, for financial reasons. The cost of maintaining 300,000 in camps would be approximately $300,000,000 for the fiscal year 1938. put all his mind on his work until high noon, when he comes in for a meal. In the afternoon he goes back to the field and worries along till dark. Sometimes "blue mold" will ruin his tobacco and cold nights will kill his cotton; or the weevil will come, or rust will start, ,etc. Other than that he hasn't much to worry about except drought or rainy spells. Otherwise everything is lovely, or a mule or cow may get sick. There are times when one must speak to save his soul. There Is such a time today. If politics is the rule, and if nothing counts in politics but votes, we who represent the majority would" do well to let the politicians see Just where the power in South Carolina lies. In this old state a minority?and a small minority?is wlthia the membership of labor unions. The overwhelming majority of us are not bi any sort of untt>n. We South Carolinians should not bow the krtee to organized labor* Our legislature is falling to represent us when it knuckles down to every sort of proposal introduced by men from the Piedmont or paid labor agitators. The Piedmont politicians tihtnk they can put the whole mill vote in a bag by catering to it, regardless of the general 'welfare. of tjie state. Even those politicians ought to be shown that the mill vote is not the majority, even In the piedmont.

The activities, which will include special programs, radio broadcasts, etc., will be under the direction of E, S. I'revost, bee specialist of the Clemson College Extension Service. According to Mr. i'revost, beekeepers in the l'almetto state are showing more Interest in bees this year than ever before. Many of them are increasing their bee yards aud are paying a great deal of attention to installing more modern equipment. Beekeepers who have put on demonstrations through the cooperation of county agents in the state huve shown that beekeeping can be made a profitable industry. Yet at the present time South Carolina does not produce half of the honey consumed by the people of the state, Mr. I'revost declares. Present plans are to use "Honey Week" in describing and demonstrating the merits of the honey in this stute. The beekeepers are adopting as their "battle cry" the following from the American Honey Institute: "Honey Week apd spring are here; Bees are buzzing very near; It's time for us to loudly sing; And to the world more honey bring.' Now York police are making an intense search for one Robert Irvin, 29, talented sculptor and former ministerial student, in the belief that he was the killer of Ronnie Gedeon, artists' model, her mother and a roomer in the Beekman hill apartment on Easter morning. c A WATERMELON INCREASE MAY REDUCE PRICE Columbia, April 5.?Reports from farmer* planting watermelons this year Indicate an lnorease In acreage which, with average yield* and average weather condition* In consuming centers, may result In prices to grower* lower than those received from last season's crops, according to Information received by George HI. Prince, extension marketing agent, from the General Crop* Section of the Agricultural Adjustment Admlnlstra* tlou. [ The 1937" acreage of watermelons In 'the Southeastern states of Florida, | Georgia, North Carolina and South | Carolina, Is expected to be about six per cent higher than It was last year. A recent report from the Bureau of Agricultural economics shows that growers intend to Incrouse 1937 watermelon plantings in Georgia by live per cent, in South Carolina by 5 per cent, and In Florida by 22 per cent. In terms of acres, Mr, Prince explains, Georgia growers intend to plant 63.000 acres, an increase of 3,000 acres over last year's plantings; South Carolina, 21,000 acres, an Increase of 1,000 licros; Florida growers, 19,600 acres, an Increase of 3,600 more acres; North Curollnu, 12,800 acres, the same as last year. The increase In acreage this year, it Is explained by tlflte General Crops Section of the AAA, Is largely Influenced by last year's favorable prices, which averaged higher than at any time during the last hulf dozen seasons. Because of the lower than expected treasury receipts from income and other taxes, Secretary Morgenthau of the treasury department, will be forced to borrow additional large sums for the government before the end of 1 the fiscal year, June 30 <S Qetting Plenty Of Mall Chester, April 11.?Tobin Crank, who leaped into uationul prominence when he discovered u pot of gold coin* Sunday, March 28, on the Crank farm near Leeds In western Cheater county, la receiving mail of varioua deacriptiona from far und wide.
