Coata only " VV Sold By DeKalb Pharmacy TUNG OIL RE8EARCH 18 NEW FEDERAL PROJECT Water resistance la the outstanding quality of lung oil that gives It particular value as a drying oil In paints, varnishes and enamels. The Chinese discovered this property of tuag oil centuries ago, since which tlnio they have been using it to preserve their wod carvings and as an annual coating for their wooden ships, bridges, nnd oven to waterproof their masonry. The Increasing appreciation of tung oil in this country by American manufacturers Is shown by rising imporLs from 7.") million pounds In 1922 to 170 million pounds In 1937. American production is In its infancy, but has Increased from nothing In 1931 to 4! million pounds In 1838. In commenting on the Department! of Agriculture's research program In' the two new tung-oil laboratories .to) be opened soon at Dogalusla, La., and 1 Gainesville, Fla., Dr. Henry G. Knight, chief of the bureau of chemistry and. soils said that Increased recovery of I oil would bo given especial attention in these laboratories which are to be operated Jointly by the bureau of plant industry and tho bureau of chemistry and soils. Plant Industry will study the agronomic factors and chemistry and soils the chemical and | technological problems. Dr Knight pointed out that altho the Chinese have had hundreds of years of experience with tung oil production, vet their methods of extracting the oil are still reathor primitive. He said that experimentation will be carried on looking toward tho extraction of tung oil with solvents Instead of relying altogether on pressing to squeeze the oil from the nuts, as is done in China. It is hoped that higher yields of oil) may be obtained by the extraction' method which lias been used with! < on*: b-rabb* success In the soybean itwlu '; > The new laboratories will s'ud". every possible means of in< * .!-.ii4 the utilization of tung oil ati ! ;'s products and byproducts. MEETING IN COLUMBIA TO CONSIDER TAXATION PROPO8AL8 A I-.. M. Wiggins, president of the South Carolina Federation of Commerce. agriculture and Industry, has Issued a call to the people of South Carolina to attend and consider the taxation proposals now before the state legislature. In a statement, Mr. Wiggins says: The people of South Carolina are beginning to appreciate the serious threat "that is racihg the state today In the many proposals for new and additional taxes now under consideration by the legislature. At a time when there is a pressing need for the development of new Industries and for the employment of more capital In productive enterprise in the state, efforts are under way to further penalize the small amount of business we already have. At a time when a disproportionate part of the income of the people of the state Is being consumed by taxes of almost every conceivable nature, now sources are being sought and heavier burdens are contemplated. The problem most generally discussed Is one of further sharing the poverty of our people instead of attempting to get at the root of the trouble by encouraging the production of more wealth. In my opinion, the. policies that will bo decided within the next few weeks may determine whether the standards of living <n South Carolina will seriously decline, or if the state Is to make a constructive start In economic development. Believing that the situation do-| serves the thoughtful consideration | i or business men. farmers, and the thinking citizenship of the state gen-1 orally, as president of the oltna Federation of Commerce, Agriculture and Industry, I am calling a meeting to be held In Columbia on Wednesday, May 3, for the purpose of discussing taxation and other matters of state policy, and for taking collective action to acquaint the legislature with tho views of the people throughout tho state on these matters A dozen or more citizens of the state have been invited to address the meeting and to present for discussion the problems confronting the state and Its government. It is hoped that 011 account of the critical situation confronting the state at this time that there will be an outpouring of farmers. business men. as well as workers in agriculture and Industry to attend this conference and participate m the discussions Kirlv cases oi tuberculosis are us-1 ??iiy r-ssiiv curable.

Is rarely In It." says a bulletin front the Washington, D. C., headquarters of the National Olographic | society. "The name Is contradictory, for newsprint Is innocent of either news or print, It la tho mammoth ribbon of blank, uncut paper which 1* threaded ipto thundering presses. When it emerges, It has become news | paper. "The paper behind the print Is a modern version of the sliver of cleau wood or bark on which the suvage, scratched his runic message, it fits the printing presB and the overcoat pocket better than a silver or wood, but the principal Ingredient Is still the same. "Canada's greatest asset for world newsprint leadership Is a million and a quarter miles of spruce and balsam forest. In China, where paper making was developed, newsprint Is not made; not tho secret, but the forest, has been lost. A mill was erected last year at Canton, but no production has yet been reported. "Tho distribution of forest lands freckling the face of the globe glvos several countries a chance to make newsprint though they rarely make such news. Estonia, for Instance, last, year exported more newsprint than "did the IT. sr B. R. Canada of course leads the world In exporting paper to feed Into the maw of the international press, shipping eight times as much as her nearest rival, England. "In 1936. Finland was the source of newsprint for fourteen countries, chiefly In Europe and South America. Newfoundland came next, shipping, her pathless forests In paper forms to Great Britain and the United States. Norway and Sweden with j lumbering as a major occupation, and Germany, with a tradition of caieful forestry, are also among the leading oxporters. "The United States, home of headline hunters in greatest fiumbers, Is the world's largest consumer of newsprint. Almost half the world s output In 1936 rolled through United States presses to distribute accounts of highway accidents, battles, explosions, afternoon teas, and local elections. For the past ten years this country has declined steadily in newsprint manufacture, Importing now about three-fourths of its needs. Last year two-thirds came from Canada. 1 Back in 1911, S5 per cent of the r,e,u print used in the United States was rooted, raised, felled and processed under the Stars and Stripes. | "Most of this country's home-grown newsprint sprouted and spread its leaves In the neighborhood of the Canadian border, particularly in New England and the Pacific Northwest. It figures largely, however, In the Industries of most paper-producing states, of which New York and Michigan are first and second. Maine. Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and New Jersey come next, with Washington, Illinois and Massachusetts following with Just about a half-million short tons of paper each annually. Louisiana is foremost among Gulf states which convert their fast-growing southern pine into paper, and experiments are now being made on using the pine pulp for newsprint. "In the widespread paper industry of tin' United States, newsprint ranks third, being surpassed by wrapping and hook papers. "The vast American production of newsprint ha* developed with.- the past sixty years, since wood pulp was pressed into service for printing paper as well as for wrapping paper about 1x67. Previously straw, principal rye. made the pulp for newspapers. and on its brittle, shiny surface blossomed Civil \\ ar calls to arms and black bordered stories of, Lincoln's assassination. Earlier news sheets, small and expensive, had been printed on the durable linen rag paper." Honor Roll Bethune Schools Grade 11?Margie Jones Grade l'??Earl Jones. Alvo McCaskill. I la fi Man gum.

NEW LEAFLET TELLS WHY FRUIT TREES FAIL TO BEAR When fruit trees, planted singly or jn small groups, fall to bear as the owner has hoped, he is likely to want to know why. Age, species and variety of tree, temperature and moisture conditions, distance from other trees of the same kind but of a different variety as required for crosspolination, fertility of the soil, pruning practices followed, aud the presence of Insect or fungus pests?all affect bearing. To help amateur growers, the federal Bureau of Plant Industry has just prepared Leaflet 172, Why Fruit Trees Fail to Bear. With this leaflet, by H. P. Gould, many an owner will be able to answer for himself some of nis questions on nonbearing. n ne cannot, he will be better prepared to write for Information, giving in his first letter more of the facts the specialist will need to form an opinion as to what is wrong and the remedy, leaflet 172 may be obtained by writing to the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. It Is not intended for commercial growers. Mr. Gould finds that one of the commonest reasons for disappointment is expecting a crop too soon. | Most varieties of apples, for example, do not bear In the East until six or seven years after planting. A few varieties, well cared for, may bear in four or five years. Others may need longer. Pears bear at about the same age as apples?Kieffer pears earlier. Peaches commonly bear by the fourth year If weather conditions are favorI able. The leaflet explains the effects of severe cold which may kill the bud and prevent bloom, or may kill only | the embryo, allowing full bloom but little or no fruit. Some fruits are sclf-fcrtilc and isolated trees will bear. Many require croSs fertilization by bees, and will not bear freely unless the owner provides branches of a suitable cross pollenlzer cut and placed in a water container hung in the tree. A suitable branch is sometimes grafted or "top-worked1' into a treo to supply pollen. Moisture supply, pruning, bearing In alternate years, fertilization and other conditions affecting bearing are discussed briefly.

Advanced cases frequently relapee, requiring additional treatment. , Early cases of tuberculosis require less time to cure which means less cost. This means much regardless of whether the cure Is paid for by the Individual or by the taxpayer who supports public Institutions.
