Gooding, extension poultrymun, reports that' 135 poultry flocks were vaccinated successfully In 1936 for pox, roup, canker and related diseases with a home-made virus recommended by the Cleinson College Extension Service. Of the 27,910 chickens given this home-made virus only 388 wore lost, j 150 of the deaths being In one flock and 60 in another; and Mr. Gooding I commenting on this mortality states : that obviously something other than I the vaccination was responsible for ( j the large number of deaths in these I two flocks. | Of the 13"i flocks vaccinated; 102; flocks had no mortality at all. and 132 of the flock owners declared that they believe it advisable to vaccinate. Sixty-three of the 135 flock owners who vaccinated these chickens in 1936 had had outbreaks of chicken pox or roup In 1935. According to the 1930 census, tho average egg production per hen In South Carolina is 62 eggs per bird, which Is the lowest egg production for any state In the union. "It Is evident that chicken pox, roupand canker, which may easily be prevented. are some of the reasons for such low egg production," Mr. Gooding says. "Boultry now ranks 11 ft h as a source of Income to the farmers of South Carolina, and we believe It has possibilities of becoming a much greater sourcy> of Income." CHANGE OF HEART When the proposal to increase the membership of the Supreme Court was tlrst made, It was widely believed, b\ Hi., bill's opponents as well us backers, that it would he endorsed in tie senate by a handsome majority.

So are most of the nation's most respected poltti' cal and economic commentators. More and more, partisanship is disappearing in regard to packing the high court. Tho peoplo and their representatives are realizing that here is one of the most vital issues the countrv has yet faced, and that It jnust he debated on grounds of principle, not politics That is a heartening sign Dies From Injuries Received In Wreck Hey ward M< Clary, negro employe of Khame Brother*, died from injur i.-s received when a trtnk ov?-itunod north of Hembert Mondav wliibroute to Camden after makitia a ?I livery I \?>.
