Farmers In a dozen Coastal Plains counties of South Carolina sold cooperatively in seven months between December 1, 1941 and July 1, 1942, a total of 69.261 hogs, which brought $1,316,169 63. This total Is not a great deal less than the total received from cooperative hog shipments during the preceding 12 months for the entire state. In the year ending November 30. 1941, cooperative shipments totaled 1 17,444 hogs, which brought the shippers $1,677,063.13. These figures show that practically half the number of | hogs as reported sold from 11 couu, ties In the recent seven-months' period brought nearly 80 per cent as ' much money as the previous year's J sales from the state. This is due large, ly to higher prices. Largest total sales during the seven months were made from Oranger burg county, according to county agents' records. That county shipped 16.292 hogs through Its cooperative marketing association and received $363,884.41. Sumter county was next with 8,437 hogs, which brought $170,' 005.22; followed closely by Dorchester ' county with 7.345 hogs, which brought $121,182.46. . Stacking'of Peanuts Proves Important Clemson, Auk. 28- South Carolina farmers, growing peanuts for the first tittle, will profit by followlliK approved methods of harvesting. H A. Woodle. agronomist of the Clemson Extension Service, advises. "Experienced peanut growers use stack |H>loa about 2 Inch#* In dlumcter and 8 to 9 feet long. They are set 2 feet In the ground with two cross pieces 3 feet long nailed at least 18 Inches above the ground," Mr. Woodle says. Three Important things are to be remembered when the stack poles are used: First, cross bars are 18 to 20 Inches from the ground; second, shake all dirt from the nuts before i placing on the stack; third, stack the 'plants with the nuts against (he nole, keeping the center of the stack higher than the edges. The stack Is brought to a peak at least 18 Inches above the top of the pole. It is suggested that the stack be capped with grass, straw or builder's paper to guard against water damage. Mr. Woodle sHys that peanuts are 1 ready for harvest when most pods are filled and when the inside of hulls turn dark Hnd veins show. Peanuts are plowed up when the plant is dry. I)lrt is shaken from the roots and the plunts are allowed to remain on the ground until the leaves wilt. This usually takes 3 to 4 hours. Then the ' peanuts are stacked. I-arge stacks, j are avoided. | "Peanuts left In the stacks cure In 4 to 7 weeks, depending on the Rhode Island Hen Has Penguin Shape Jacksonville, Sept. 6.?A Rhode Island Red "penguin" is the way H. V. Rich of Jacksonville speaks of a freak | chicken which waddles about his yard. The chicken, received among a lot of 200 biddies from an Ahoskle hatchery, Is now five months old, weighs about three pounds and Is ordinary sire, but her ancestry is extremely debatable. The hen stands erect on her partially webbed feet, which have no toe flails like other chickens. The .back is perfectly straight and flat and the posture and white spot on the breast give her the appearance of a penguin. Rich said that the chicken could not walk when small, because her feet stuck out behind, but that she began to walk at about three weeks.

Carmel camp meeting, a few miles north In Lancaster county. 111 mIS^B*3ZI^SS^8?L3 Washington, Sept. 7. ? Mllllops of Americans must oxtyect to find themselves In the armed forces In the not very distant future, according to the present view. Already the United States Army Is about as large as the World War maximum, but plans are to continue its expansion rapidly. The Navy must be built up. and the ftlr forces will continue to claim the physically perfect among our young manhoqd. With the calling of more and more men, man-power problems In Industry will probably become acute; and as our forces grow larger, losses In <act!on will touch more and more homes. Growths In the armed services will be accompanied by growths In the problems of supply and transportation. Providing huge quantities of materials for troops will tax American resources to the limit, and the question of transporting men and materials to the widening battle fronts will be a vital and ever-growing one. To mobilization of manpower and womanpowor we are about to add mobilization of our youth and of our children. The National Institute on education is studying how best to use all the students In the country,, from elementary grades through college. Our battles at the ends of the earth are linked closely to the fight at home. Were we not fighting here at home, there Could be no offensive action anywhere at all. All the elements which make up wartime America?the struggle for raw materials, the fight for more and better production, the deprivations of today and the greater deprivations of tomor-| row?all these elements contribute to and make possible the gains we must make overseas. War Costs War expenditures in August totaled $4,882,498,436 ? more than three times the amount spent for national defense in the same month a year ago, according to a treasury report. The national debt has reached a new peak of $86,277,118,919. Meat Bacon for Britain, pork for Russia, roasts for fighting men, meats for defense workers doing a big job?that is why the American family now faces meat rationing and meatless days. The bacon is going to Britain in great quantities. Cured meats which will stand the long Journey are being sent to the Russians. And American packers have learned new methods which enable them to supply meats to soldiers all over the world. Duty American youth's duty was outlined last week by President Roosevelt in these words: "We must maintain the offensive against evil in all its forms. We must work and we must fight to ensure that our children shall have and shall enjoy in peaqp their inalienable rights to freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from want, freedom from fear."
