FOR FARM FAMtLY LIVING ~ a Olemson, Feb. 10.?Closely assocla ted with the standard of living among ; farm' people la the number of livestock to furnish meat, milk and other . livestock products for the farm peo^ pie, says M. 0. Rochester, extension farm management specialist, referring ( to the need for more dairy cows, hogs and poultry in providing a better diet and a higher standard of living among rural people. "With an average of only one cow per farm for the state, it is clear that even if all the dairy products frdm these cows were used on the farms, the supply would be greatly below the real needs," Mr. Rochester continues. "Unfqrtunately many farms have not even one cow and therefore have no dairy products for use in family diets." According to the 1935 census, the proportion of farms reporting cows varied from a low of 30 per cent in Berkeley to a high of 84 per cent in Oconee county, averaging 60 per cent for the BtRTBT TKS nignest proportion of farms reporting cows is in the Piedmont area, where there are more commercial dairies to supply the needs of the industrial cities. Another factor Is the larger proportion of farme with permanent pasture acreage in the Piedmont. The average number of cows per, farm varied from a low one-half of one cow in Marlboro, Horry, Charleston, Calhoun, Berkeley and Beaufort counties to' a 'high of 1.6 cows per farm in Chester and Greenville counties. One-half of the counties reported less than one cow per farm. The produ^Hofl mflfc p?r inn farm 'population follows closely the number of cows, varying from a low of 1917 gallons per year in Berkeley county to a high of 12,204 gallons in Grhenville county, the average for the state being 6,094 gallons *p?r 100 farm population. Since some of the milk produced on farms is sold to towns and cities, the supply available for farm use falls that much below the requirements. : 1 * "" rr^"T^iy"T^y I Notice To ?*?

J A man listed as Arthur Oodbolt^was arrested in Florence early Tuesday morning and held for investigation In connection with several automobile and meat thefts in recent weeks. God bolt was said by officers to be I the man who escaped a police trap Saturday morning near the Wateree river bridge between Sumter and Columbia. The trap waa aet after ,a car was reported stolen from *I>ar ling ton and believed headed for Columbia. 1'he driver escaped from the stolen car but was trailed to a farm house where he hired the farmer to drive him back to Sumter. At thn farm he exchanged some pf his .clothes and the arrest Tuesday morning followed the tracing of laundry marks found on these clothes. Sheriff C. A. Grlnnell of Darlington, who took part In the arrest said that Oodbolt waB preparing to leave for Buffalo, N. Y., and had already purchased a bus ticket for the trip. Officers reported that he had confessed several of the thefts charged to him, Including that of several automobiles and large quantities of meat and chickens. Coilbolt was suffering from shotgun wounds in the back and arms believed to have .been inflicted by a Darlington county farmer who surprised a man endeavoring to enter his smokehouse. A coat matching trousers left at the farm house was found in his suitcase. The arrest followed a widesperad investigation of a series of auto thefts In Darlington, Florence and Richland counties. In the oase of the Darlington and Florence thefts the cars were later found abandoned In Columbia with evidence that meat or chickens had been transported in them. One car was stolen from Columbia and recovered In Darlington county. Columbia police recovered part of the meat stolen In one raid In an alley tfff Assembly street and traced other meat to the market where it had been sold. The meat recovered In the alley had been wrapped In sacks containing boll weevil poisorv and officers said that anyone eating It w^puld have been made seriously 111. Officers believe they will make other arrests. The farmer who carried the man to Sumter Saturday was reported as saying that he could Identify him and was expected to be called In by officers. O Capt. Fleming Mason of the highway patrol and Lieut. Jenkins were informed of the arrest by Sheriff Grlnnell. Others taking part in the arrest were ChlefQf_PoUcfi-JELJ&- McTver, of Darlington; Detective A. B. McLaughlin, of Florence, Lieut. Tee Hutto and Patrolman F. B.

At the same time it was learned that Deputy Sheriff Glenn Addison and T. K. Scott were holding a third man in Richland county jail for allegedly aiding Godboldt's escape from officers who trapped him Saturday at Wateree river bridge, 20 miles east of Columbia. Godboldt eluded 26 officers but was captured Monday night In Florence. ?I didn't know the meat was poiaened," Godboldt said yesterday afternoon, when asked If he knew meat eold here February 20 had been poisoned by contact with boll weevil ineecticide. Sheriff Grlnnell said Godboldt war pardoned by the governor November 7, 1932, after serving seven months of a lenghty sentence Imposed for housel breaking and larceny. " "I don't know what they had me in prison for," Godboldt told the sheriff when questioned on that record. Godboldt, ' well-dressed, but his hands held in handcuffs, was defiant when photographod at 6:80 yesterday at the state patrol Identification bureau where he had answered question^ lng of Lieutenant Jenkins and Assistant Investigator John W.

PLAN GOOD GARDENS' '~f \ Clemson, Feb.. 5.?Urging farm people to lose no time in planning the home vegetable garden, A. El Schilletter, extension horticulturist, suggests two methods of planning. One is to aim for definite food budget for the family specialists. The second me-' thod, which is more generally used, is to list the crops the family likes and determine how much should bo planted. "A little more planning would enable most South Carolina gardeners to have fresh vegetables direct from the garden during at least eight months of the year, sometimes even twelve", the specialist advise. The newly arriving garden catalogs, with their attractive pictures and descriptions of old varieties of vegetables along with some fine new ones, have much valuable and timely information on the growing of vegetable crops, says Schilletter. In many instances the catalog descriptions of the varieties Include facta on the size of the plant or the fruit, the length of days from seeding to harvest, and other valuable information. Growers should have ^ some of the good garden seed catalogs ^ or books, as they may want to order c seeds in advance to-have a choice of varieties. . I?
