Boyd) Why do wo lutvo turkoy for Thanksgiving? The usual answer to such u questiou is because tho Now England colonists ate turkey on the first Thanksgiving Day. There is much of truth in that answer for certainly the tradition of Thauksglviug l>ay goes back to that colonial beglunlng, but the Pilgrim Fathers were not the first persons on this coniktepi to find out how good turkey was to oat. Long before the white men had ct me to live in America the Indians had learned that turkey is a flue dish for a gulu occasion. In the southwestern part of the present United States and in Mexico the cliff dwellers and other aboriginal tribes used the meat of the turkey for their ceremonial (easts. The birds were wild but the Indians learned to catch and tame them so they could be fattened before they were killed. The wild turkeya roamed over Arizona, western New Mexico and southern Colorado, as well as Mexico." After the coming of the Spaniards turkeyB were sent to European markets and that is where they gained their name. The merchants, who were mostly Hebrews, thought that this new bird was a kind of peacock and so called it by their name for the peacock which was "tukkl". More or less constant use of this term resulted In the English word turkoy. The turkey is peculiarly an American bird. No other country has a similar fowl. Wherever turkeys are raised today, and ^hey have been Introduced Into many countries, the ancestral stock came from America. This Is one reason why it is fitting that the turkey should bo associated with Thanksgiving which Is a distinctive American feast. Like the cliff dwellers we too use domesticated fowls and our feast has also a certain ceremonial significance. When the Puritans desired to celebrate their flret abundant harvest iul Plymouth In 1621 hunters were sent Into the woods to secure turkeys for the dinner. The colonial record Bays: "That year there was also a great store of wild turkles". At first these beautiful birds were plentiful everywhere but they were timid and fled Inland so that after 1690 no more records are found of them in New England, but they were still so plentiful In Georgia In 1733 that they sold for fourpence apiece. These wild turkeys were gold and purple bronze and much larger than our domestic birds. They could easily outrun a man and when flying traveled at a rate of fifty miles an hour. They were awkward In flight but ran with an easy graceful motion. One colonial writer tells of seeing a flock of three hundred near the Chesapeake which weighed thirty or forty pounds each and no less an authority than William Penn says that turkeys weighing thirty pounds sold in his colony for a shilling. Ornithologists say that wild turkeys were! plentiful around the Great Lakes until 1875. These wild "birds were easily I distinguished from the tame fowl by the rich chestnut brown tips on their tall feathers.?Our Dumb Animals. STOCKINGS FROM COAL ON SALE, AND ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO RUN Wilmington, Del.?A shovelful of coal, a pailful of water and some good fresh air furnish the basic materials for the new chemically made hosiery given its introduction to the public in local stores October 23. The new textile fiber promises to: become celebrated If the coal and other ingredients prove to *givo the long wearing qualities promised. Sheerness and beauty are also claimed. Because of the smallness of the supply, sale will be restricted to this city for the present. These first sales are from yarn made by the experimental pilot plant and are preliminary to Nation-wide introduction in 1940 by hosiery manufacturers. For the present these stockings will carry no brand hame, but will be marked Nylon. From the viewpoint of the duPont Company, originators of the new product, these over-the counter sales will culminate extensive experimental work in cooperation with the hosiery Industry. The limited sale Is expected to give preliminary tests to practicability and permit impartial Judgment of its merits. The yarn has an elastic quality that is aaid to enable It to endure a much greater amount of pulling, twisting, and chafing than rayon, made from wood pulp. Three types of hosiery are being offered, ranging In price from $1.15 a pair to $1.35, depending upon the weight desired. The same materials that go into nylon are also being manufactured into bristles for hairbrushes. At bne time China and Siberia supplied a large percentage of the world's supply of pure hog's bristle*, but war interfered with this normal trade. Today this necessity is being met chemically Last year more than 46,000,000 tons of coal were used for chemical purposes, a duPont spokesman disclosed. 77 r I Weekly News Letter !

A. Woodle, extension agronomist, urging farmers to prepare now for farm profits In 1940 and 1941 by using limestone liberally. "Sooner or later, if wo are to continue to farm our land, it must be limed", the agronomist declares. "Tho| lbnged it is delayed, the more difficult the problem will be. Since many] farmers have failed to use all their soil-building allowances under the AAA program, thoy mny secure limestone without extra expense if they act promptly. County agents can give Information about this plan." Asserting that the three "L's" of successful agriculture are Lime, Legumes, and Livestock, Mr. Woodle continues: "Wo can never have a profitable system of diversified agriculture In South Carolina until farmers use lime freely. "South Carolina farmers use approximately 10 percent of all the commercial fertilizer sold'in the United States, yet they use less than one percent of the lime sold for agricultural purposes. In comparison, Kentucky farmers, who follow a profitable system of diversified farmlngi use less than two percent of the commercial fertilizer, but more than ten percent of all the lime." Reminding that forty percent of the soils in the state are either strongly acid or very strongly acid, the agronomist states that these soils are too acid to produce best crop growth, and that South Carolina farmers need to use 500,000 tons of limestone annually.
