SUPER SOYBEAN DEVELOPED A new soybean that yields two to three times as much as old varieties and is disease and storm resistant has recently been introduced. Probably its greatest improvement is that the beans do not pop out before they can be harvested, a fault that materially reduced the yield of old varieties. In recent years farmers have found that disease has played havoc with Mammoth Yellows, once the most popular soybean. The disease cut down the yield and caused the bean to be mottled and dis-colored. Several years ago a soybean plant was fohnd in a fit-Id of Mammoth Yellows that was not affected by the disease and made a much heavier yield of beans and a more upright stalk than Mammoth Yellows. The beans from this plant were saved, increased and tested From this one planting a new variety has been developed which seem< to be far superior to any other vari' ty for eastern Virginia and the Car. ,it,as. The originator of this vah'ty ] w. Woods & Sons, in Richmond. Virginia, has called it Wood's Hll v Soybean, significant of its origin T::. originator describes this bean as t'niiows: "N-ither have we introduced a new P'an: 'hat has received such uniform prat-.- from everyone as Wood's Yellow Soybeans. This new variety with !m autiful beans of a bright, yellow color, similar to MamY?d)ows( but half again as large, ki'l* 'air to replace all other varieties r- 'l. s section. It has been yielding five to forty-five bushels per 'n( r" "M all types of soils and conditie>.v while other varieties yielded nr*!> a third to half this amount." Judge I. M. MeekiiiH, of Elizabeth City, N. C., aays: "For thirty yearn I have grown soybeans in a lurge way. Not until I tried out Wood's Yellow Soybeans did I find the success 1 was hoping for. You induced me to purchase fifty lAtshels of Wood's Yellow Soybeans for seed purposes at $2.85 per bushel. The price of tho seed seemed high tor an experiment. However, 1 put in fifty bushels of these beans this season and have Juat about finished harvesting the crop. It Is all, and more, than any one could wish. The yield and quality Is so far superior to any other Mammoth Yellow beans I have ever planted that 1 shall continue to plant only Wood's Yellows. The satisfactory results of this variety of soy beans when compared to iTokyos and other varieties leaves all competition out of the question. "Wood's Yellow Soybeans have a ; firm stem or stalk which supports them against heavy winds and makes I them easy to harvest with a combine, j Then, too, they have overcome our I worst trouble in this section?popping (out if a bit delayed in harvest. "The yield of Wood's Yellows is phenomenal. Never before have I ! been able to get more than eighteen to twenty bushels to the acre, and 'with the fifty bushels of Wood's Yell lows planted by me this year, I am 'harvesting between twenty-five and thirty bushels per acre, and my other beans on different farms, (ordinary Mammoth Yellows, Tokyos, etc.), are turning from eleven to sixteen bushels per acre. Same cultivation and same character of soil. "I am grateful to you for calling to my attention Wood's Yellow Soybeans." 1 WHERE THE ANTELOPE ROAM One-eighth of all ..the pronghorned antelope in the world range on the 200,000-acre dude and stock ranch of Charles J. Belden, at Pitchfork, near Cody, Wyoming. Mr. Belden sends us the picture reproduced on the cover this month, which he names, "First Call to Breakfast." These baby antelope readily adapt themselves to feed-j ing on cow's milk from the bottle, j These animals differ from the true; antelope in that they shed their horns j each year and are therefore put In a genus by themselves. Years ago, i when the early trappers and explor-j ers first forged across the Mississippi j and started exploration of the Weati they estimated, roughly, that about j 40,000,000 of the little animals roamed-j the flat-land, but agriculture and rifle-1 men destroyed them unt^. at the be-, ginning of the present century onlyi a few were found in scattered bands j over the West. Drastic protective j laws were invoked and with the aid' of certain notable cattlemen, the ( herds started to increase until now they number 40,000( of which half are ; found in Wyoming. They belong wholly to the plains and foothills, havo an abnormal curioeity, and are the fleetest things on earth.?Our Dumb \ Animals.

This disease is i-aus-l ed by the bite of a rabbit, rat or other animal and is sometimes raused by Infection received while dressing such { animal. Of late years a number of such cas-1 es have occurred in this vicinity with more of them being reported in the Creat Falls area than in most places in Lancaster county. Lancaster doctors ostimate that about ten cases have occurred here during the past few years. Kev. A. K. Whitesldes, pastor of the Unity A. R.

There were ! twenty-three members and four visitors present. During the business |hour the county library was dlscuBsed and Mrs. T. R. Horton checked on our monthly pictures to see that every member had the correct amount. The meeting was then turned over to our county agent, Miss Fewell. First, she gave us our last picture for the month of may. The name of the picture was "After a Summer Shower," painted by George Inness, an Amer-lean. This picture represents the Impression of a fleeting moment when a storm cloud had rolled back and the sunshine burst forth through the meadow and its rays of light reflected by the raindrops that makes the [rainbow. Then she told us when the I state short course would be. held and also the county short course. Then she took up our subject, "Lino and Design In Costume." She told us Design In Costum^." She told us what was becoming for all figures. First, the tall slender figure, tall broad figure, short stout figure and short thin figure. Then she told us different fashions which middle age and old age should wear that would be becoming to them. Next Bhe said to study the outline of desirable lines for different types of figures. She said that tall people could wear over-blouses, peplums and use round or U necklines Instead of a V neckline, and other things to fit each type of person.* The hints and suggestions she gave us on the different designs In our clo'thlng will surely be very beneficial. She also gave Illustrations of each type of person which was of Interest and benefit." Then we had with ns, Mrs. Thompson, who gave us a talk on tuberculosis which everyone enjoyed.

T Sloan addressed the sales i rg | aniz&tion of ilif Marlon Coca-Cola Hot j t H UK company at a special meeting hold last night at the plant Mr Sloan, who is president of the Marion Coca-Cola Bottling lompany,, local distributors for tho Jos Schlltz BrewliiK Company, Milwaukee, Wis cousin, discussed the 1938 Schlltz beer advertising campaign In this region "Camden bus been selected as one of the cities which will receive an: Intensive advertising program on Schlltc beet1 In cobnectlon with similar campaigns In specially chosen sections of the country," Mr Sloan said. "In promoting Schlltz beer here, newspaper advertising in The Chronicle will (ill an irfipprtant position We believe' that newspapers are one of the most effective mediums for toll- J lug our message to the public. The! wide reuder influence of The Chronicle] should be an important factor in increasing our volume of Schlitx busi-j ness during the coining months. "Camden ranks high among tho cities of the country as a beer-drinking! community," dnld Mr. Sloan. "For! this reason, we feel that the new. 'Taste Schlltz Today' campaign will1 have excellent results In this city. ) "Judging from the sales of Schlltz beer In Camden so far this year, sales in 193S will double those of 1937," Mr Sloan said. He said that the demand for Schlltz, known throughout the world as "The Beer That Made I Milwaukee Famous," has been unusually high during the spring season. Summer Legumes As Soil Builders Clemson, May 9.?One of the best ways to tuke advantage of the provisions of the Triple-A farm program for soil building Is by planting summer legumes, such as cowpeas, velvet beans, soybeans and crotalarla, according to R. W. Hamilton, state administrative officers of the AAA in South Carolina. There is no reason why cowpeas, for instance, shouldn't bo planted on every farm, Hamilton says. Cowpeas j are a valuable source of food during the summer and winter months and cowpea hay makes one of the finest kinds of feed for livestock. In other words, this is a crop that will help every family increase Its food and feed supply There are thousands of families on farms in this state that are not producing enough food and feed for their home needs. 4n addition, cowpeas and the other summer legumes are fine soil-building crops. While the time for planting varies in different localities, these crops can be planted almost any time during the next two months. Leaving summer legumes on the land Is a practice for which payments are made under the farm program. A certain sum of money is available for soil-building practices on each farm. A specified performance in connection with one of these practices is expressed as a "unit," and each "unit" carried out earns $1.60 yp to the farm allowance. Each acre of a summer legume counts as one unit; therefore, the cooperating farmer will receive a payment of $1.50 for each acre of cowpeas he leaves on the land. If he harvests his cowpeas for hay he does not get a soilbuilding payment for that practice, but the hay will be valuable for his livestockThe American Southern Presbyterian mission at Suchow, China, was bombed by Japanese planes on May 10 and 11. No casualties are reported, but property damage is great. The unemployed of Cleveland. Ohio, are threatening to go to the city hall, and start a sitdown strike unless the mayor and city council finds ways and means of giving them relief. Child Safety During The Summer Keep your" child's safety education !resh in his mihd during the summer nonths, urges Wilbur S. Smith, traffic engineer of the 8outh Carolina {State Highway department. With summer Just around tho corler, every child is going to spend nost of his time out In the open playng. See that his play is Bafe. I Motor vehicle accidents, according) :o "Accident Facts, 1937," issued by he National Safety council, caused 18 per cent of all deaths for children ip to 4 years old, 38 per cent of the atalities from 5 to 14 years, and 52) ?er cent of those of young adults' 'rom 15 to 24 years. During the first three months of J !938t reports to the South Carolina! State Highway department show that) jlxteen children under the ago of 141 fears were killed when struck by auomobiles, and twelve were injured. Dne pedestrian between the age of 15: ind 24 was killed, and eight injured. Four children under the ago of 14 were injured riding bicycles which :ame into collision with automobiles.: is were six others between the ages )f 15 and 24. Exposure to accidents is twice as i ;reat to children during summer, nonths. Parents can assume respons* J billty for keeping the accident rate lown by training children to avoid, iccldent risks, and by seeing that he child has a safe place to play. | Six simple safety rules should be jbserved by every child: Do not play in the street or highway. ~ If playing such games as baseball, do not piny too near a thoroughfare. In the excitement of playing, you might dash in front of an oncoming vehicle to recover a ball. Ride your bicycle safely. Obey traffic rules as if you were driving a car. Do not weave in and out of traffic. Do not "hitch" rides. | Do not ride on the running board of a car. ? If you walk on a highway, obey the state regulation by walking against traffic, so you can see oncoming cars. If the child is a schol patrolman, he should be encouraged to remember his safety training, and to use his influence with other children to avoid hazards. During recent years the safety work of schools and various organizations has brought about good results in the case of child accident reduction, much greater results than have been gained in adult work. Since 1928 child accident fatalities have decreased 18 per cent, as compared with a 91 per cent Increase in adult deaths from motor vehicle accidents. The decrease has been continuous, indicating that it is a true decrease. In spite of this decrease, accident statistics show that children are by far the worst class of drivers. Seventeen per cent of all drivers involved in fatal accidents for the first three months of 1938 in South Carolina were minors. Dr. Harvey Doak Wood, 92. one of the oldest practicing physicians in the United States, died Friday at his home at Fuyetteville, N. C.
