LIQUOR SALES EXCEED THIRTEEN MILLION DOLLARS' i Liquor sales In South Carolina during the fiscal year ending June 30,' 1937, amounted to $13,173,670.00, ac- j cording to figures complied by a com-1 miltee of citizens from reports of the South Carolina Tax Commission. I These figures were based on actual excise taxes collected amounting to [ $1,317,367.00. at the rate of ten cents per pint. The average retail selling price of liquor was figured at $1.00 per pint. In addition to the sales of alcoholic i liquors, it was estimated from taxes i paid that the sales of wine and beer i during the same period exceeded $5,000,000.00. Therefore the total sales, of all alcoholic beverages exceeded' $18,000,000.00. j Revenues und sales of alcoholic 11-' quors in every incorporated town and city in the state have been figured on the same basis. In Kershaw county, revenues and indicated sales were: Bethune. $2,686.00 gross excise tax revenue; $26,860.00 estimated sales. ! \ Blaney. $903.20 gross excise tax revenue; $9,032.00 estimated sales. Camden, $23,174.16 gross excise tax revenue; $231,744.60 estimated sales.

St Matthews, S. C. 1 Yeggmen Admit Postoffice Job Chicago, Nov. lB.-r-PoatofTlce Inspector Archie Imus aald today Albert Ulllman, 67, and James H. Morgan, 64, brought hero from Soyth Carolina, confessed the $6,600 biliary of the Nappaiiee (Ind.) postoffice last 8ep-| teniber 6. \ The Inspector said both men had criminal records. They were seised' in Columbia for questioning in connection with a bank robbery at Sharon. Inspector Imus said the prisoners would be taken to South Bend. Ind., for trial In connection with the Nap-j panee theft. Hlllman and Morgan when nabbed In South Carolina had but llttlo money with them when seized, Imus said. Hlllman and Morgan in company with Ira Coulter, 37, were arrested In Columbia November 2, by Detectives W. T. Scott and J. R. White of the Columbia police as suspocts In the robbery of the Bank of Sharon the night before. A check of the men's whereabouts convinced officers that they could not have committed the Sharon Job but they were turned over to federal officers in connection with a serlos of postofTico robberies in Illinois, Indiana and Virginia. When the trio was captured in Columbia a complete acetelyne torch outfit was found in the cur they were using. The purchase of the equipment was traced to Chicago. Coulter, third member of the gang, was returned to Plymouth, Mich., to stand trial in connection with a bank robbery there in May. When captured the men had a little more than $300 among thorn. Hens In The Sun Higher Egg Hatch Willi the approach of winter, laying flocks need all the sunshine they can get. says W. C. McCarley, county farm agent. Of course, the flock must be protected from chill and extreme cold, but the practice of closing the hen house door before Christmas and not opening it until after Kaster, as many poultrymen do, reduces the hatchability of the eggs laid in this period. "The first recommendation for the! Improvement of hatchability is the i greater use of free sunshine and green feed," the agent states. "It is estimated that poultrymeif and hatcherymen of the United States take an annual loss of more than $14,000,000 from eggs that fail to hatch." In experiments conducted at the National Agricultural Research Center at Bcitsville, Md., where the brooding flock was allowed outdoors in th? winter sunshine, the hatchability of their fertile eggs increased 14 per cent. Tliis increase was shown despite the fact that the hens had previously received a diet containing two per cent codllver oil. iti South Carolina, according to P. H. Gooding, extension poultry specialist. hens can be given free range during the entire year. If the range is not sufficient to . provide green feed during the winter, five pounds of alfalfa leaf meal should be added to each lttO pounds of laying mash. Mr. and Mrs. Hurbert Greason and daughter, and Mr. and Mrs. Guy Vaun, of Columbia visited their aunt,' Mrs. It. S. Williams last Sunday. 1 7 1 . - - l-l THE TRUMPETER SWAN Appeal To Sportsmen To Be Careful ?, About 8hootlng Them. "Don't be too quick on the trigger!" I That la the plea again being bropd,caat by the Department of the Interior [to gun clubs and duck shooters In the I northern Rock Mountain states. The |reason: Hasty Nlmrods might jmis-j [take the rare trumpeter swan for oth| er waterfowl. Threatened with extinction In 1W4, | jthls great white bird has lately shown a tendency to multiply?thanks to a| [united protective front of sportsmen, the press and naturalists," says a bul letin from the Washington, D. C? | headquarters of the National Geographic Society. "A recent census made by the United States Biological Survey showed a total of 114 birds In their only I i kno-?rxr American breeding grounds? 1 I Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, and the Rod Rock Lakes Refuge In Montana. A 1934 estimate listed only | fifty, trumpeter swans. Contrary i to popular belief, the chief) enemy oKjjhe trumpeter swan Is not man, however, but the Coyote. This underbrush sneak thief, which devours "both eggs and young, threatened to send the trumpeter the way of the great auk and the passenger I pigeon, until man stepped in and offered bounties for coyote scalps. J But the battle has not yet been won, , and the government is making efi forts to have people and cattle excluded from the breeding grounds of' [the swans during the nesting period, iAlso islands are being built In lakes) that Jack them In the area. | The trumpeter is only slightly larger than its close relative, the whistling swan. The main distinction is the voice. That of the trumpeter Is very low in key?it might almost be called a groan at times?but possesses unusual resounding qualities. It' has been compared to a French horn,, When a flock is passing overhead,, the calls do not seem to be very loud,) but long after for miles away, the low groaning trumpet comes back, clear and insistent. < I The ranges of the two similar spe-. Ides are very different. Simply put, (the whistler summers as far north as he can and winters far south. The ' trumpeter summers as far south as he can find safe breeding grounds, and winters as far north as he can find open fresh water. The average length of the great white trumpeter swan is sixty-five inches. Old estimates of lta great' weight are probably not true. Thirty i pounds is a fair maximum for a large bird. It has an all-black bill and! black feet, although the young have i considerable yellow on the feet. The Latin name of the trumpeter is Cyg-j nus buccinator. | SOIL CONSERVATION; I WILDLIFE AREA MAINTENANCE J (By Guy A. Cardwell, Agricultural and ' ndustrial Agent, Atlantic Coast Line I Railroad Company) On all areas used for wildlife development the trees should be kept ^ hinned to a point where ground cover will not be killed by shading. The most desirable shrubby plants should be left in moderate numbers to grow in clumps The plant succession on areas not cultivated every year will give variety. Food bearing plants, j such as. sassafras, sumac, and plum are preferred to pine and other large, trees. j j When time cannot he spared for jthe ?preparation of seedbeds each | spring, it ia advisable to Include a I perennial or reseedlng species in each 1 food-producing mixture that Is applied on land other than gullies. Such areas j will remain in satisfactory condition j from three to six years or more. By j reseedlng a few such plots each year ja continuous supply of feed can be ! maintained. I When the farmer Is unable to rei seed designated wildlife areas, light [disking, which may be done during .the late fall or winter at Intervals of j two or three years, will generally i stimulate desired volunteer growth, j Wnore thi.-* la Ao be done on rolling land, narrow strips should bo disked [on the contour on a two or three year rotation basis. With each harvesting of small grain and hay crops, narrow stripe should be left standing along 4t)k borders and In odd corners of the field. It Is especially Important that a strip be left standing 'on the lower part of the field to serve as a filter strip and iriOUtse food supply fpy quail near i : " . Goals Planned ... .

Roy Jones, has been conducting a campaign that | the people of the state better acquaint themselves with the products being manufactured and also to show preferonce in purchasing these products (that the agricultural and textile industries might find cause to expand. During the past season Increased Interest has been shown in finished textile products and definite studies are being made for greater consumption of cotton to counteract the increased crop. During 1937, more flih ished goods have been distributed In South Carolina from domestic' mills than ever before In the history of the industry in the state. In the field of fruit growing interested parties are planning for concerted promotion of grapes, apples and peaches. The packaging and processing of these are yet in the Infancy with respect to the South Carolina crop. It is hoped the coming year will bring to the front some of the plans for the extension of fruit grown In the state. Annually ComffilRsioner Jones extends the efforts of the department of agriculture with the business and professional woman's clubs in the state | to carry on the campaign "Buy South t'arollna Products." He remarked recently to a committee group: "We cannot expect to he successful in Just one or two years with this campaign, it takes study and constant promotion. The public baa, cooperated splendtdly, and I hope we can continue to show the Industries of South Carolina we are fully behind them." ^ | Along with the ^wholesale and retail merchants, the newspapers and radio are lending every effort to eoni tlnue the campaign. The consumer tr urged to "Buy South Carolina Pr6Idncw." ' " Tan parsons, all Germans, wars I killed whan a pass safer plana at.tamptsd to maks a landing at MannI halm airport. . ? -.

Black, federal agricultural statislclan. Mr. Black has Issued the following bulletin on crop conditions in (the state as of November 1: "In point of production, South Carolina is experiencing one of its best crop years. On the whole, favorable seasons have continued to date and. final harvest is expected to show the largest cotton and corn crops since 1931 and 1923, respectively, and Ifee biggest hay crop of many years. A record tobacco crop has been harvested and sold for more money than any previous tobacco crop. Outturn of food and feed crops are well above average and for the most part production of minor crops is ample for local need* "Production of all crops combined is now expected to be 12 per cent above final outturn in 1936 and 36 per cent above average for the years 1928-1932. "At current estimates the combined value of lint cotton and tobacco is approximately 63 million dollars, Compared with 67 million dollars last year. Thus the present %value of our principal cash crops is only about per cent below that of last year despite the low price of cotton. This not greatly unfavorable comparison is mostly due to good prices for the record tobacco crop but also in part to the relatively large cotton crop. "The corn crop is expected to^^K tal 26,017 bushels, which would be the largest crop since 1923, 6 per cent" above last year's production and 24 per cent above average for the years 1928-1932. "Seasons were unusually favorable for hay production and the estimate of 506,000 tons is one of the largest crops ever produced in the state. "The sweet potato estimate of 4,8^0,000 bushels is about the usual crop. "Peanut production is estimated at 8,580,000 pounds, which is 5 per cent above last year's crop but slightly below average. "Pecan production is expected to. total 1,160,000 pounds, which Is 26 per .cent below last year's crop but 46 per cent above average outturn for the years 1928-1032. ^ "Preliminary estimates indicate that 1,364,000 bushels of coyrpeas and 60,000 bushels of soybeans will be gathered this fall. These 'estimates compare with 1,446,000 bushels of cowpeas and 66,0p0 bushels of soybeans harvested last year."
