Skeet cumo along and guve the hunter something to keep lu practice with, and now the fishermen have "Flsh-O." Flsh-O Is sponsored by the American Wildlife Institute und the Isaac Walton League and most of the sports magazines are carrying this month stories of the uew game together with rules and illustrations. The game is going over here in Washington with a bang, one or two skeet clubs having set up casting ranges on their skeet fields, while another group of notables have had an inning with the sport out on the reflecting pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial. One enthusiust has udvanced the Idea that Fish-O will be a moans of the angler perfecting his casting skill. He may possess an exceptional "feci" for the rod and have an arm movement that is uilmmaj^but the only way to perfect casting ability is to fish a grout deal or be ablo to practice. The simplicity of the game Is Its biggest asset. No complicated rules of play, and it is inexpensive. Flsh-O Is two games in one. The plug casting fraternity compose one group while the fly casters have a slightly different game, with both contests built along lines that will best suit Lho two methods of casting. For the pluggers ten stations are laid at Irregular intervals?distances unknown to contestants. Six of the horizontal targets must not exceed thirty inches in diameter, while the other four nearest to the (asters station are eighteen inches. No one of the targets must be located at a <lis*| tanee greater than eighty feet or at a distance less than forty feet from the casting point. The casting event Is highly InterestIng In many ways. One of which Is that the first five targets must be cast at from a sitting position, as would be required of u caster sitting In a boat, while the last five targets must be sought from a standing position. There are no restrictions on the rods that may be used, but regulations govern the reels. Chiefly these are to cause standard reels of regular manufacture to be used and be free of any special appliances and contrivances. The line must test not less than ten pounds, while the plug may weigh greater than 5-8 ounce and be not more than three Inches long or be less than one inch at its greatest diameter. The scorings are of course most Interesting to the contestants. Three tries are made at each target and only "bullseyoB" count. Should a plug land Inside or on the rim of the target it Is perfect, and counts five points if done 011 the first cast; three points I if 011 the second try and two if on the third cast. Casts that land outside the target count zero. Then there are other rules of contest. such as deciding the tie; adding frills to the regular game by installing "bunkers" and handicaps and the like. Clubs, schools, fishermen groups, industrial organizations, and individuals are taking to this new game and no doubt our own fish and game chapters will blaze the trail in South Carolina.

The circular points out that by combining pulpwood cutting with his woodland management program the woodland owner receives the direct and Indirec t benefits of thinning and generally earns three to four Limes more from his woodland. In other words, tie rashes In on certain trees cut for pulpwood and thus leaves other trees to develop to better advantage for future crops of poles, piling and sawtlmber. Circular 17o was prepared by M H. Hruner. extension forester, and is nowavailable at the county agents office and at the Publications Department at Ctemson. The publication. Illustrated with significant photographs of thinning operations, discusses briefly the essential practices to he followed in a pulpwood thinning program. Two suggestions of major importance in such a program Mr. McCarloy calls to the attention of Kershaw county farmers.

Blake, Greenwood) Once upon a time, not a thousand years ago, there was a man who had a six-gallon cow. "She gives three gallons every, morning," he told his wife, "anil tluee at night. But 1 want nine gallons, so I'll just milk her three times a day instead of twice." Morning, noon and night lie milked ^ her. but that added only an extra quart. "Just a simple matter of arithmetic." he said. "If she gives an extraj quart at an extra milking. I'll milk her each of the other twenty-one hours every day. Twenty-one extra quarts will be live and a fourth gallons unoe. Just a little arithmetic and you see I get Tiearly twelve gallons a day." "But what , if the cow can't workl arithmetic?" the doubting wife asked "She don't have to. I'll do the milk lng and counting, and Bhe'll have to give the milk." After a few days and nights of milif. lng the cow lost her appetite. Then she lost all interest in giving milk ... She never did take any real interest in arithmetic. The man figured she was giving about a quart less each day now, but he said this was nothing but stubbornness. He would tie the cow's heels to ^ the hack side of the stall to keep her from kicking. A few yards of adhesive tape around her mouth would quiet the holloing. Then she would get h?*r e mind off herself and get back up to ,. six gallons, at least. n A few mornings later. the man H came in from a night of milking. Ha N had only a quart in the pail ? ' Cuvv must have gone dry lise I y, warned you." the wife said. 1 "Oh no. That cow got so stubborn f, iho laid down and died about day |p iglit. but -he never did really go dry." ^ H?< picked up the newspaper off :he|tj ireakfast table "These headlines say' p Legislators will add to tax burden.' iumph! 1 could a told those fellows) >ven an adding machine can add more(^ axes"?hiit it takes common sense to . crop the money coming."

COTTON GROWERS ORGANIZE TO INCREASE WORLD CONSUMPTION Columbia, May 8.?Realising that the prosperity of the cotton states depends upon the Increased use of cotton, representative inen of branches of the cotton Interests In the United States havi M^ganleed the National Cotton council to make the world cotton conscious. Every state In the Union w^lch produces cotton ; is actively cooperating in the program. The South Carolina unit is now engaged In raising South Carolina's proportionate share of the $250,000.00 fund, to launch an intensive educational campaign on the uses of cotton, and to make the people not only of the United States, but of the world markets, see the advantage and necessity of using more cotton. It is estimated that more than 15,000,000 people of the cotton-producing states look to cotton for their livelihood. Their prosperity depends upon the j Increased use of cotton and .cotton products, and to Insure their prosperity the drive has been launched. "Cotton producers,, marketers, millers and others interested in the in-. . dustry have been asleep long enough,!, and we have let the opposition get ] the jump on us," said Colonel Wyn-| i ham Manning, chairman of the South ! Carolina unit. / i "Now we are going into the fleSl and tell the purchasing public just Yow much of the national wealth Is Invented in cotton production and manufac- 1 ture, and how much better it is as a,material than many of the substitutes < that have been placed on the market.') In short, we want to make cotton not ? only king, but emperor of textiles." j ^ Members of the state committee, t plan to conduct the campaign for only . I one week, and believe that within J :hat time the cotton interests of the state, and those interested in the ad- J ,'ancement of the industry, will over subscribe the small quota that has )een set for South Carolina.
