Simplified Program
For Agriculture
South Carolina fanners are looking
lor a simplified agricultural program,
according to the opinions expressed
at a program planning meeting held,
at Columbia. S. C., August 10 and 11.
The report of the meeting was
brought back tp Kershaw county farmers
by W. C. McCarley. county
agent, who with several leading farmers
were Invited to represent this
section by I) W. Watklns, director
of extension, Clemson college.
Those who were chosen to represent
the different types of farming
areas in the state discussed changes
in the agriculture conservation program
for 1938 with Washington representatives
of the AAA, members of
the South Carolina Agricultural Conservation
committee, and officials of
Clemson college and Its extension service.
The feeling among the farmer representatives
appeared to be for a onepayment,
simplified program for 1938.
One proposal considered was a uniform
system for the Cnlted States
that would set a payment that could
be earned by an individual farmer
by balancing his crop plan within the
limits to be specified. Another proposal
was based on setting up one or
two experimental counties In which
a simplified program would be largely
developed by committeemen and
farmers within the county.
At the close of the first day. tl
farmer representatives divided Into
four committees for the purpose of
studying various problems under the
conservation program and to make
recommendations which were fully
discussed by the entire group on the
second day The recommendations
as adopted b\ the representatives will
be presented to AAA official^ at
Washington B I) Boy kin served ai
. a member of urn of these committees.
Caul Sanders, chairman of the

U. S, Scrap Iron
Helping Japan
Wushlugton, Aug. 30.?Japan's military
machine la functioning with the
aid of scrap Iron from the , tynited
States, government and atutiatloa
Indicated tonight.
Shlpmenta of iron and steel acrup
and tin waste to Japan during, the
11 rat half of 1037 totalled 1,318.803
groaa tona. This compared with 606,160
tona In the aame period last year,
and 1,007,369 tons for all of 1936.
Metal scrap ia useful in the manufacture
of armaments.
However, an expert in New York
stated that Japan is not buying any
appreciable amount of scrap in the
United Stutoa at present, perhaps because
of her unfavorable trade balance.
This authority pointed out that Japan
placed heavy* orders In this country
earlier in the year, and said some
of tills metal remained to be shipped, j
Japan now lias an unfavorable trade
balance both with the United Stutes
and the world at large. During 1936,
she bought about $6,000,000 more In
world markets than she sold, and the
trend thus far lias indicated this will
be increased during 1937.
To settle trade balances and maintain
the stability of the yen, she has
shipped about $120,000,000 in gold to
this country since the first of the
your. Trade officials said continued
purchases of scrap Iron and steel
from the United States might depend
upon Japan's willingness to continue
shipping gold In payment.
From New Orleans came word thai
tot til loadings of scrap Iron are below
the peak of three months ago. Japan
is out of the market now, authorities
said, and Ureal Britain is the chief
customer at $18.50 a ton, a price $4
lower than the peak.
At Baltimore, figures on exports to
Japan alone were not available, but
! total Iron and steel scrap exports from
that port for the first six months of
this year were 105,625 tons as coinpared
with 104,870 tons for the entire
year 1936.
Since June, said steamship officials
at San Francisco, scrap shipments
from the, west coast have been subsiding.
They said Japan is well stocked.
Ten ships took 60,000 tons of scrap
for Japan from Tampa since the first
of the year, while Boston reported
that it had shipped 43,786 gross tons,
with Japan paying an average of $18
per ton. From Savannah, Ga? 16,410
tons went to Japan.
During the last congressional session
there was agitation to stop exports
of such material, on the ground
that it was needed in the United
States, but nothing came of the movement.

so that quality may be stressed
by contrast," Mr. McCarley states
"Suggestive points on successful
rfweet potato production, grading, and
marketing will Be Illustrated at the
State Fair exhibit. These will Include
good seed, early plants, high potash
versne low potash, vine cuttings versus

Menial Breakdowns
The mental trail to n**youa break-!
down* mapped by study of the world'*
%Ht two nervous plge. waa descrltxra
to the American Psychological associatlon
at Minneapolis .recently, say*
H6ward W. BJLakeelce. Associated
Brass Science Editor.
Both pigs are op an experimental
farm at Cornell untyeisltyV One of
them, Achilles, had a nervous br^akdowy,?tie
first In a pig, which was
annOtA&bd last May. The mental
breakdown of a second pig was announced
today by Dr. Qutn F. Curtis
oi the Cornell physiology department.
( In becoming nervous both pigs followed
the same "pattern." Their successive
Btages were so alike as to appear
sterotyped. The experiences of
pigs were more than "infra-human."
They were bo closely parallel to human
reactions as td promise a useful
key to the intricate "map" by which
human minds go wrong.
No physical work or movement
were involved inxhusing the pigs nervous
breakdowns. They caught the
"heebie Jeebies" soMy by trying to
solve mental problems that were Just
a bit beyond their mental capacities.
In a comfortable "sty" in a laboratory,
they learned to obtain meals by
lifting the lid of a box with their
noses. This was not their only food,
but just a luxury. There was an
apple In the box.
Sometimes it wasn't there. The pigs
learned that certain tones of a signal
meant "apple" and others "no apple."
They learned that on some days there
was an apple, and on others none.
These things the pigs learned readily
as separate items.
Their troubles began when the
"apple" and "no apple" signals were
given in more and more irregular sequence.
.
The first mental signs were agitation
shown by false motions. No men
tally sound pig hesitates when starting
after food.
The second of the nervous breakdowns
was a period of delayed decisions.
The pigs appeared to think
a long time before being able to make
up his mind what to do In situations
he had perviously solved without de
lay.
The last stage was curiously human.
The pigs became "inert." They
pretended to sleep. Sometimes they
became "catatonic," that is rigid, like
human beings suffering from the catatonic
form of insanity, who stay motionless,
paying attention to nothing.
The pigs however were not permanently
"catatonic." Sometimes
their confused mental state showed
in their legs. The hind legs would
try to walk to?the apple box while
the forelegs pushed away from it.
Whether ther ^ ?r ???
nervous trouble is yet to be learned.
Both the nervous pigs are females.
A third pig, male, has so far been
more resistant to mental upset than
his girl friends.?Monroe Enquirer.
