The city is as unaffected and logical as the language spoken by its inhabitants. Before one can begin to comprehend what rpakes Berlin tick, preconceived ideas of capitals must be cast aside. Gradually, out of the confused outlines of the vast mass, emerges a recognizable pattern. Behold the anomaly of an urban | agglomeration with a total popula- , tion of some 4.220,000, a city which can boast one of the most highly perfected transportation systems in the world, with every convenience contributed by science, and yet which contains within its limits the following: Twenty thousand cows (providing a third of the milk supply), 30,000 pigs, 10,000 goats, 700,000 chickens, 180,000 rabbits, 5,800 people keep- ' ing bees, only three or four build-J lngs that you can find as much as ten stories high, twelve windmills still functioning, and more than 100,000 little gardens, the harvests of which include such imposing yearly 1 figures as 46,000 tons of potatoes and proportionate quantities of other vegetables and grains. Such items would appear fantastic to the dweller on narrow, rockribbed Manhattan. The Schreber Gartens. These little "Schreber Gartens" afford city workers easily accessible contact with the land which is so dear to the German heart; they promote bodily fitness through exercise, and minimize food cost. Beside each garden is a neat little house for storing equipment. Here centers the odd-hour and week-end life of a substantial number of farm* ilies. During times of crisis, these wee shelters have even housed many who would otherwise have been roofless. The so-called "Schreber Garten" movement, which has spread to most cities of Germany, was founded in 1864 by a philanthropist who named it in honor of Schreber, a famous physician of that day. The land is owned in some cases by the city, in others by the state, and is furnished to its users (together with implements and seed) at a nominal price. Trees and rivers, more rivers and more trees. Therein lies Berlin's greatest hold on the hearts of its dwellers. The two rivers, Havel and Spree (pronounced "Shpray"), with their eccentric twistings and turnings, form a network of waterways which makes it possible to reach many parts of the city by water. These small streams and their tributaries, connected by canals with the Elbe and the Oder, give communication for transport of freight by steamer and barge to the farthest corners of the land. Berlin has, except for Duisburg, the largest shipping tonnage of any inland city of Germany. More than five million tons of goods arrived at the port in 1935 and 1,300,000 tons were dispatched. Through the watery lanes, under gracefully arched bridges?of which Berlin has 1,006, even more than Venice itself!? glide along wooden barges, heavy-laden carriers of coal, building materials, petroleum, and an infinite variety of other prodLarge numbers of fruit barges come in from the provinces, bringing apples, pears, and peaches in their holds. In some cases these loads are marketed directly from the barges, which find mooring at advantageous points within the town. Berliners Love Trees. The banks of the rivers are planted densely with trees. Rows of lindenS or plane trees line the majority of the streets. The public parks are standing armies of trees in close formation, through which cut beguiling avenues and paths. The most numerous membti ol Lhe tree family is the linden. Also in large numbers are found most of our familiar American trees, such as maple, elm, horse chestnut (much beloved by the German), oak, acacia, poplar ar.d birch. A census of trees standing in streets and squares alone?entirely exclusive of the parks?totals hulf | a million. The Berliner's love of trees is so deep that in many cases, where city appropriations have not provided the necessary funds, private citizens have paid for the planting of their own streets. Venerable, and in many cases unbeautiful, landmarks of u bygone day are being sacrificed to the demands of trathc. Scaffoldings clamber over the facades of many old buildings which do not have to suffer demolition but are going through a much-needed face-lifting operation. The town hall, a mammoth red-brick structure, has recently emerged, rubicund and a bit garish, from an all-over bath performed by steam and cleansing acids. Many Old Buildings Saved. I Where possible, worthwhile old buildings are being preserved. The march of time has not yet intruded on the neighborhood of the Nikolai church, where one comes across ! such architectural oddities as the Knoblauch Haus?literally "Garlic ^House"?with its vivacious rococo I exterior, and its pretentious con- : temporary, ?the Ephraim house. One learns from the archives of the Markisches museum that this j latter was built by one Veitel Eph- J riam, an enterprising racketeer of \ Frederick the Great's time. He aided an embarrassed state and likewise amassed his own fortune by j coining debased "thalers," nick i named "Ephraimites," which he i struck from copper with only an onion-skin thickness of silver surface. The most striking change observed in the physical aspect of the i city is that on Unter den Linden. This wide avenue, because of building this new subway, has been denuded of its famous shade trees. Their roots were too deeply sunk in tradition and earth to make their lot tenable when the human moles began their burrowing. These dignified patriarchs were carefully dug up and placed in other more hospitable locations. Their place has been taken by a quadruple row of fresh little upstarts. Shockingly callow and insufficient they look. It was Dorothea, wife of the Great Elector, who caused the wide boule^ vard to be laid out, and who herself planted the first linden tree in 1681. Perhaps it would have been only fair for her generation to name the avenue for the electress instead of for the tree she planted However, they made amends by giving i her name to the street which paral- ( ; leIs Unter den Linden one block j ' north. In 1690 an ordinance was passed ( ' by the Elector Frederick III forbidi ding the burghers of the neighbor' hood to allow their hogs to root around on the public street, as they were injuring the trees! Changes in Latter Days. Berlin did not escape the westward-pushing urge which has pos1 sessed continents, countries and ! cities. I | Oldsters of today tell of open fields 1 and woodlands in western areas j wherp now stretch illimitable acres : of concrete streets and business ! blocks. The inexorable thrust of building enterprise has encircled I lakes and linked once widely sepi arated communities into an urban | entity. I In the galloping twenties of the i postwar period came the realization of the realtor's dream of a Berlin Broadway?"Berlin in Light." The Kurfuersten-Damm sowed its wild oats in the lurid early day of jazz, but has now settled down to a smug, bourgeois middle age. The Emperor William Memorial church (built as a monument to Kaiser William the First and his wife. Kaiserin Augusta), which forms the root of the West Berlin section, is as out of place amid its surrounding cafes, restaurants, and movie palaces as Trinity church is in the hubbub of lower Broadway. Neon feigns make a vivid imprint on the night aspect of the city. Step i gayly up the Kurfuersten-Damm or j Friederich-Strasse at any time aft1 er dark and you will find yourself t woo?d by the variegated, pulsing I effulgence of a host of dance halls,ball houses and cabarets. Haus Vaterland on the Potsdamer Platz, twelve years after its muchadvertised construction, is popular with travelers. They flock in of evenings?visitors from abroad p 1 froth the provinces of Germany. B ~~ ' (-54- ' -jj- ? 1 i"!'i L ,u ^U1.' v I Nobody's Business Written for in? Chronicle by (>c?

Dr. I C W. Warburton, director of Exton-1 ision Work. United States Department! of Agriculture, points out In a letter j to D. W. Watklna, director or the South Carolina Extension Service. "Tho Ilurean of Agricultural Eco-j nomlc8 hopes to classify cotton from all eligible groups In South Carolina j who desire this service, and has es-| tabllshed additional classing offices," says Dr. Warburton. Regarding tho classification of cot-, ton offered for loan purposes Director! Warburton quotes these regulations: "All cotton must be classified according to the official cotton stand-1 ai ds of tho United States and such j classification evidenced by: The classification shown on the warehouse receipt of a warehouseman1 licensed under the United States Warehouse Act, or A Form A Classification Memorandum of the United States Department of Agriculture, or A Form 1 Classification Memorandum of the United States Department of Agriculture, or A Federally Licensed Classifier's Certificate. "The official regulations concerning the loanB and all loan document forms will be printed and made available by Commodity Credit Corporation at the earliest practical date, through the Loan Agencies of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation." Pasture And Grain To Fatten Turkeys Clem son, Sept. 10?The cheapest way to fatten mature turkeys Is to, allow them to range on green pasture [and feed them a scratch grain mlx-| ture made up of equal parts of corn, wheat and oats, says P. H. Gooding, extension poultryman. Mr. Gooding calls attention to experiments by the United States, department of agriculture which show this combination of pasture and scratch gain started early in September will add weight and finish to mature turkeys In plenty of time for the Thanksgiving market. . If an abundance of green feed Is available either white or yellow corn may be used In the grain mixture, depending upon the kind of finish desired. Yellow corn fed liberally gives a yellow tinge to the turkey skin. The skin remains whiter when white corn Is fed. although plenty of green pasture should be available to turkeys fed white corn so that they will have an ample amount of vitamin A that the birds otherwise get from yellow corn. If pasture supplying green feed is not available, mature turkeys may be fattened on regular mash and scratch feed commonly fed to growing turkeys, says Mr. Goofing.t Japanese leaders estimated Sunday that 10.000 Chinese had been killed In the Yangtze valley during a week of the deadliest fighting since the fall of Shanghai almost 10 months ago. Japan's search for war-time substitutes has led to 4,000 Inventions? ranging from porcelain telephones to waterproof paper cans and buckets. Celluloid razor blades and summer hats were among articles displayed at a Tokyo exhibit. W. G.

Ll Has Fine Corn Crop J. l\ 1.4<wis, of Camden, has a nice corn crop on the McCaskill farm, eight miles oust of Camden. Ho expects to harvest around fifty bushelB to tho acre. This is a sandy typo of land. He planted a seed corn known as White Pearl, which ho obtained from South Georgia, and said that the corn Is ready for milling within seventy t days after planting, which is most un>>?>>?!. He will use It In his corn mill. Another fact of Interest is that he planted the corn after a crop of oats, the second week In June and that the methods in planting this particular crop was gottou from a radio broadcast from a western state. He liked the method outlined and gave It a trial with good results. The crop was an economical one for the only fertilizer used was cottonseed meal and nitrate of soda. A picture of the corn crop was made by a representative of a soda concern, which they will no doubt use In their advertising literature. KXnia .-L?J'M-'.'-nn. 11-. IUM-H'HIUC HIT Mn- ;i :?....? , n ?
