Through some magic, snow catches a bit of free nitrogen loosed In the air by lightning and adds it to the soil a# it melts. And freexing Nitops erosion a bit, pulrerises the soil, and helps kill out insect pests. In a prospect of many unfavorable factors boasting the farm, these meager bright spots stand out. ' Beef cattle that have already lost last summer’s grass-fat browsing over deanly bicfced com stalks, boshes, ^ and briers on a farm in the mid state. That farmer evidently got his cattle too soon. He had better taken his county agent's advice and kept his feed supply ahead of livestock. Because, as J.. R. Hawkins, Clemson extension livestock specialist puts it, "You can usually fe^ a profit out of livestock, but you can’t starve it out of them 'Then another farm a little further up the road, with fat cattle eating silage and a bit of ground corn in troughs out'there in the field where they graxed on velvet beans and early sown grain. ’That man likes the cat- tie business. The other one said there was nothing to it In Florence county—smouldering woods—* generation of trees killed. A few miles away one great pine sol ing for fSOO to a shipyard. Ths.only gold mine perhaps that this* land will ever know—trees—devastated by fire. But somebody is beginning to care.

Jan.—Boekaeptng is of greater importance at the present than it has been for many years, de clares E. 8. Prevost, extension bee specialist, in announcing the recent revision of Extension Circular 153, “’The Care of Bees." Circular 153, "'The Cars of Bees," is a practical guide to people who al ready own swarms of bees as well as to'those considering starting to raise bees. It discusses good locations for hives, proper hives for profitable beekeeping, transferring of swarms, and requeening. Special emphasis is placed on spring management and I feeding of bees. ’The circulsr calls aU I tention also to methods for salvaging beeswax, a product needed for the war effort. Good spring management of bees Is very Important for obtaining a fine crop of honey, Mr. Prevost decUfes. The first step in spring management of bees is to see that each hive has a good laying queen and enough stores to raise bro^. The biggest mistake made In spring management la allow ing stores to run low. Although the feeding of bees is not advised as a usual practice, it is some times necessary. Some people feed bees early in the spring so that tbrre will be a hive full of young bees at the beginning of the honey flow. Care should be taken that feeding will not result In more brood than the'b^es can cover and protect on cool nights. Copies of Circular 158, “’The Care of Bees," are free upon request to county agents or to Clemson. )h(SMf6M0UT 'fWB COOUTf^AimG FUU'FLEP6EP MEMBERS Of NOW TNEIR SALUTE l5RB006r NIZED BY BVEN AN AOMfRAL.

Lime Spreader Can Be Made At Home More convenient and economical methods of spreading limestone is one of the problems confronting many Kershaw county farmers, acoordlng to County Agent W. C. McCarley. In an effort to meet this problem and assist with the state-wide liming program, extension agricultural engi neering apecialtats at Clemson have prepared plana for a homemade lime spreader which makes use of an old Ford Model T or A rear-end aaaembly. This homemade spreader can be constructed in the average farm shop equipped with forge and anvil and simple metal-working tools. U can be built for |10 to $20, depending upon the cost of labor and materials, and ita work compares favorably with that of commercial machines. Farmers Interested In plans for this ^ _ _ spreader may obtain them through |^q,| purclTaaea, of funds by the work- War Bonds For Old Age Urged - "V A plan is being presented to em ployees of textile mills.in this connty under which they would purchase war bonds with the idea of establishing a retirement and security program of their own. An idea which was originated in South Carolina. It is outlined in let ters to workers from Christie Benet of Columbia, chairman of the South Carolina War Finance committee. The plan Is designed to enlarge purchases of war bonds under the so- called “payroll savings" program. This is a program under which em ployees of concerns bay bonds on the installment plan, permitting the dc^ duction from wages or salaries each day of specified amounts which are accumulated and then used to buy bonds. n In his letter, Mr. Benet projects the possibilities of establishing, through county farm agents or by writing to the Clemson College Ehitenston Serv ice. asking for Agrlcaltnral Engineer ing Leaflet No. 40, "Homemade Lime Spreader." hung from polea suspended from the rafters. Long strings of red pepper hung from a nail, and bunches of onions hung by their dried tops. In one corner stood large sheaves of broom straw, and in another one there was the kraut barrel half full of pure health. Doxens of empty jars, and relish bottles told of a well stocked pantry from whence they came. Hick ory nuts and walnuts hung In bags across the rafte.rB. as did the peanuts, and a few plecea of soap remained from the last making. This modern age has produced no sort of security that can beat that centered around the old smoke-house. era which would hold them in good stead In th%ir old age. "This plan," Mr. Benet’s letter to workers In this county say, "Is made available to every employee In any branch of work. There te no initial charge. If you are regularly employ ed, sign a United States Treasury allotment cord for a specified take out every pay day that your employer will be authorix^ by you to make. The amount is placed to your credit and H is yours. When it has reached- 118.75, your employer' will purchase for you, in your name, a United States war bond which in ten years from the date of issue will be worth 325.
