Oyshman ami r. F. Cooley, extension dairy specialists. I,et the butcher stop. fheyi from eatlug up the profit good oowa are malting. No dairyman can excuse himself for keeping unprofitable cows and the milk-consuming public is not obligated to pay the dairyman ror his loss on the unprofitable cows. In order to emphasise the difference between feed cost and returns above feed costs on high-producing and low-producing cows the specialists cite figures from records of the four dairy herd improvement associations in the state. i These figures show that when cows average 400 pounds of milk or less per mouth the returns above feed cost average only $3.74. When they average 400 to r>00 pounds of milk the uv* I j erage returns above feed cost rise to $6.08; 600 to 600 pounds, $8.66; and 600 pounds and above, $10.57. In other words, cows averaging 600 pounds or more of milk return throe timos as much profit above feed cost as those giving an average of only 400 pounds or less of milk.

REPORE8TRATION BY TREE PLANTING NOW IN PROGRE88 Forward looking farmers, turpentine operators, saw mill owners and other types of landowners are busily engaged in renewing tbelr woodland? [aud establishing forest growth on old fields by planting forest tree seed* i lings, advises State Forester H. A. Smith. Slash pine Is the most popular species. The major portion of the supply of this species has been spoken for hence only small quantities are available to those ordering now, stated Mr. Smith. The slosh pine Is an all purpose species In that it produces turpentine, rosin, pulpwood, poles, piling and crosstles, veneer and sawlogs. However, although the loblolly pine Is not suitable for naval stores production It is the fastest growing of all southern pines and is especially suitable for replanting old fields and forest land in the upper coastal plain and in the Piedmont. Approximately two million loblolly seedlings are available to landowners for planting during this and next month. The lumber of this pine is used for the same purpose as slash except that it is not worked for turpentine. Ixmgleaf ptrnr~gwffllngB are also available for planting. They get off to a slower start than our other native pines but once established they are able to withstand fire and drought to a remarable degree. Limited quantities of yellow poplar may be secured for planting on suitable sites. All seedlings are furnished at a price of $1.50 per thousand f. o. b. either Georgetown or Camden nurseries.

HOFFMAN CLAIMS LINDBERGH CASE IS NOT SOLVED Trenton, N". J , .Ian. 12.? Despite his division of $25,000 reward money among more than 100 participants in the arrest and conviction of Bruno Richard Hauptmann. Governor Harold G. Hoffman still insisted today "that the case has not been completely Solved." Hoffman, who reprieve of thd convicted Bronx carpenter and self-directed investigation of the kidnapslaylng of the Lindbergh baby resulted in his censure on several fronts, said be was writing ten articles for a national magazine because " 1 don't feel that the other side of the case. If there Is one, has been told." He announced division yesterday of the $25,000 reward appropriated by the New Jersey legislature. The largest share, $7,500i went to Walter Lyle, of Elizabeth. N. J. Lyle accepted a I ransom note from Hauptmann In 1So4, in payment for gasoline at a Bronx, N. Y., service station. Following a company rule, Lyle wrote Hauptmann's license number. Asserting his position "has never been adequately represented," the governor, who retires from office next week, said he would disclose secret records in magazine articles. "When I visited Hauptmann in the death cell I couldn't tell what 1 knew because the matter subsequently was to come before the court of pardons of which I am a member," the governor added.

William M. Rltchey, however, thlnkf the men escaped In boats furnished by frlenda. ? "The first time 1 ever saw smiles* all over the Island was the night they escaped," he said. "Every man In the convicts' mess, was grinning." Rltchey was held by police for Providence, R. I., authorities on a Jewel robbery charge. He was convicted In Baltimore on a similar charge In 1932. He took the pauper's oath to escape paying a $5,625,000 fine after he finished a five-year sentence. He announced he would fight extradition to Providence. Roe and Cole, Rltchey said, "were I too fond of life to make a mistake. ^ iThey worked In a blacksmith shop, I you know, and had plenty of grease [with which to smear their bodies for (a long swim. But I believe, and bo i do the others, that they were picked up by a boat." I Although most Alcatraz prisoners I are supposed to be tough, said Rltchey, most of them are "rats."

Caroline's 146,000 poultry: raisers by Prof. C. U Morgan, head of the poultry department of Olemsob1 'College, on the basis, of . ,-fl egg-la^lh||' - tests and other experiments as well as oh satisfactory returns made by dock owners with highproducing hens. "South Carolina census figures show that an average of less than 70 eggs per hen is produced per year," . I says Prof. Morgan. "Cause for much of this low production may be attributed to poor feeding and manage- , I ment methods, but with unselected stock as has been found that good ' feeding and management will not produce more than about 120 eggs per hen per year. The average production during the past year at one southern egg-laying contest was 218 eggs per hen, or more than three times the South Carolina average. In j this same egg-laying contest 37 hens produced over 300 eggs each for the year, or about four and one-half times that of the average South Carolina "There are in South Carolina flock 3 i owners who can boast of an average production of more than 150 eggs per hen per year, or more than twice the state average, and in some improved flocks of the state, egg production is the equal of the best flocks throughout the country." The additional labor involved in keeping better chickens, Prof. Morgan I explains, is largely in the gathering and marketing of the greater number of eggs produced. The increased & I mount of food required is only 15 to 20 per cent greater than for the poor producer, although the good producer may lay twice as many eggs as the poor producer. Actual figures on two flocks of birds showed that the return above feed cost for the good hen was $2.50 more per year than for the poor hen.?This is a very handsome return for such a small increase in feed and labor required by the good hen. "It's all a state of mind, this idea of business recession," remarked a gentleman yesterday. He pointed out that the same amount of cash is in the country, the same property is still here, and the same people, who are capable of carrying business forward.?Orangeburg Times-Democrat.
