LIVE STOCK HAS BRIGHT OUTLOOK Clem son College, April 20.?With noticeable improvement in breeding stock, a better knowledge of feeding, a realization of the need (or homegrown feeds and a better understanding of fitting and marketing live stock, the outlook for successful develop mcnt of the swine and cattle industries in South Cvifolina is very promising, according to various .qu .Ivor at the twenty-first annual meeting r the South Carolina Live Stork Association held ?*'t Clemson College o April G and 7. The views of an outsider on sever:'" of these points are well worthy o.' note. Mr. C. Driver, the veteran he; . of the Baltimore Live Stock Com mis -sion firm of C. Driver & < \>.. wlv attended tlie meeting-, said that South Carolina has >hipped to Caltiinoro a good cattle as comes to that market but that the eattle raised generally in this state is not yet sui^iciently well bred to ship e:\st for feeders; that the herd of Shorthorns recently fed at Clemson as an oxperiment were excellently finished ; taut success in feeding steers lies in selecting good rattle ai.d finishing them well; thai iSouth Carolina hogs x?ro coming bet ler to his market, showing better breeding and better feeding. The beef cattle program outlined before the association by W. J. Shee ly, extension animal husbandman, stressed the recommendations for a limited amount of work in purebred breeding of beef cattle by those who will do it well; the production of good grade stock by means of purebred bulls; the practice of steer feeding by those who will study careful selection, proper feeding, ^To.vin^ of feeds and wise selling; and the development of community beef clubs as a means of greater home consumption of beef, matters to which every live stock man should give consideration in helping promote the cattle industry. In discussing "Some Live Stock Problems," especially with reference to hogs. Prof. L. V. Starkey, chief of the animal husbandry division of Clemson College, emphasized the following needs for successful and economical pork production: (1) More and better fencing, (2) forage crops the year round, (3) good foundation stock, (4) home-grown grains, (5) more attention to needs even in our climate for shade, shelter and bedding, (G) raising a larger proportion of the farrowed pigs, (7) elimination of mud wallows, dust, lice, etc.. (8) attention to the soft pork problem, (9) freights, markets, etc. Many questions on various phases of the development of a better live stock industry in the state to fit it into each farmer's needs were discussed and many valuable suggestions were brought out. J. II. Connor, Eutawville, was elected president for the next year and \V. J. Sheely, Greenville, secretarytreasurer. o QUESTIONS WD ANSWERS From Specialist^' Correspondence With Farmers Please give directions for using 10 per cent formaldehyde to prevent corn sinut.?J. E. G., Kershaw. Formaldehyde treatment will not control corn smut, as tin's is not a seed-borne disease. No satisfactory r.umber of seed-borne diseases of co,-n. control is yet known. There are a however, and for the control of these we advise an ear to ear examination of the seed, to be followed by discarding /.ill diseased ears. The hot-1 any division of the experiment station is prepared to do this work free j'or anyone in the state. Please advise about 1 oculating velvet beans.?W. M. S., Johnston. It is not necessary to inoculate velvet beans. Practically all of the soils of this state are already inoculated for velvet beans as they use the same inoculation as peanuts, cowpeas, lespedeza and lima beans. What is the matter with the pecan twigs which I am mailing you??J. E. F., Rowesville. The pecan trees seem to be aflTected with Itosette, followed by the attack of some semiparasitic fungus. The usual cause of rosette is some soil deficiency, which may vary greatly in different circumstances and localities. I suggest that a study of 1he soil conditions will indicate the best measures for controlling tne trouble. Let me know what the enclosed specimen is and if" it is a pest. I got it in some black medic seed.?J. F W., Ulmer. It is wild mustard, or charlock anr is a pest.

VllVsSH EGGS ENTIRE YEAR C'emson College, April 27.?During v pril and May, when eggs are plen itul, of higher quality, and the mar- i 'cet price is very low, is the best ( ime to preserve eggs, according to \T. R. Mehrhof, extension poultry spe cialist, who suggests that only strict- \ ly fresh eggs should he preserved, that dirty eggs or eggs that have ' >een washed should not he used, that vashed e^gs will not keep because < the protective coating has been removed by the washing, and dirty eggs will become tainted in flavor, and that infertile eggs are better than fertile i eggs for preserving. < The water glass method is one of the most satisfactory methods to use. < The commercial water glass, which < can be bought at any drug store, is < used in the following proportion ; One Aiuart of water glass to 10 ' quarts of pure water. j Water that has been boiled and then i cooled is preferable. The mixture should be stirred until the ingred- < ients are thoroughly mixed. 1 A clean stone jar is the most suit- 1 able container. The eggs should be placed in the water glass so that < those at the top are covered by at i least two inches of the liquid. The l jar had best be covered in order to ( prevent evaporation and stored in . a cool place. o I CONTROL OF MOLES Clemson College. Moles generally . pass through their runways several , times a day and the following meth- , ods have therefore been found etl'ec- ( tive in controlling them, says Prof. A. , F. Conradi, entomologist, in answer i to numerous / requests for a remedy. , 1. Stir un parched peanuts in white of egg. While sticky sprinkle Paris green over them. Mix well so lhat the poison surrounds all the seed , and let dry. They will dry in about me-half hour and are than hard and j an be easily handled. 2. Roll raisins in strychnine with i stick or toothpick. Do not use aands, and be sure not to snill am for it is a violent poison. When 'hrough, burn any poison remaining ?ver. How to Apply , Whittle a broom handle to a point. Walk over the ground and at intervals pierce the runway and drop into the hole ;x poisoned raisin or peanut ; and cover with the foot. . Mole traps may be purchased at , hardware stores or wholesale houses, , !>ut they are less effective, and only < the poisoned trap** are recommended. ; o OIYORCK RING FOR 1 THE CRASS WIDOW ( From time immemorial woman has , '.voi'n on the third finger of her left , ' and a plain band of gold as a symbol | >f her honored position of wifehood. -\nd when death takes from her the nnrtner of her life she signifies her !oss and grief by wearing appropriate garb. But in what a different manner todav the widow of the present, that is < the one who by the sanction of the courts. Iris resigned her job as wife, nakes known to all the world her renewed state of single blessedness. For tho grass widow of today has just adopted the latest of fads, the "divorce ring." This jeweled symbol of the severance of the marital ties takes the place of the former gold band. It is made of gold or platinum on which is mounted a broken Cupid's bow at the end of which is set a jewel to represent a divorce. Should the .vearer once more embark on the matrimonial seas and again come to wreck then another jewel is added to indicate the second divorce, and so on. o HEALTH HINTS I-OR THE HOMK The judicious use of oranges is a good thing, hut a few precautions 1 should be taken. In the first place, 1 have nothing but good fruit, and pool - the orange carefully, for the white . pith lying beneath the yellow rind is t deleterious. I)o not eat many oranges at first,, but the habit of eating j them at meals will work wonders in a short time in regulating the /system i and keeping the blood in good condi tion. 1 For xi relaxed throat there is nothyr ing better than gargling night and - morning a teaspoonful of vinegar in 1 a tumbler of very hot w.itcr. 0 Those whose hands become easily r chapped should keep them out of i) water as much as possible when doil ing housework.

TH3 HORRY HERALD, CON'V PALESTINE WAR WON BY CAVALRY Washington.?Cavalry won the war ?at lo.ist so much of tho world conHot ns v/as fought out in Pnlestino? >"eo>v'intr *o Lieut. Col. Edward Da*is. United Statos army, who has renrned to Washington to present to i-ir. p-^nnral slafT his observations on ^oro than six years' service with tho ratios of other nations. Before the entry of the United Slates in tho World War and .nftoryards, Colonel Davis served with tho 'oroe> of Grent Britain. Franco, Russia. Ttalv, Serbia and Greene. Later le served as military attache in Holand and at Berlin. According1 to Colonel Djivis, his most v.a'uable miliary experience was with the British >avalry during the Jerusalem campaign ajhI he stated he was surprised o find that so little waft known in ho United S?t;ito? mirmviiiwi. uic uu^ f General Allonby's two remarkable ampaigns in the Holy I,and, each of .vhich lie characterized as "an exuisite example of the combined opor'tions of all arms of the service unler a master strategist and a great natural leader of men." In both the Jeruralem and Damascus campaigns Colonel Davis said, the naster stroke was delivered by the -avalry. He described several of the noimted charges made by Allenby's rorces, and explained that the most striking results were obtained by those swift and unexpected blows at ?nemv infantry and artillery groups. "After the British had reached a hat looked like a stalemate on the CJaza-Beersheba line," Colonel Davis -aid, "It was decided to employ cavilry in a final effort to pierce the Furkish defenses. The British strategists decided cavalry could operate best against one end of the line, and j. mounted squadron was sent to 'bite ">1T' an end of the entrenchments that had resisted every effort at capture. Within an hour the cavalry had effected contact with the Turks and then began a process that might best ^e described as 'rolling up' that thin tine that so long had resisted every ?flfort at assault. The operation was i complete success and the entire line A'as in British control within ten lours. "The value of cavalry against heavy irtillery was strikingly demonstrated at Huj, where the Sixtieth division ,vas engaged. The cavalry under Colonel Shea charged twelve cannon protected by machine gun nests, and n ten minutes had captured eleven' if the big guns and cleaned out the lests. The success of that operation vas repeated in the charge at ElMugliar one week later. There, the 'avalry charged to the top of a hill 125 feet high, with a 20 per cent rrade, and, leaping over a 'series of trenches captured three Krupp 77.md nearly a score of machine guns. "Without water, without baggage if any sort, the cavalry made long, v\rd '^arches and outflanked tlie en*:ny column again and again. Finally >n the plain of Armageddon, the last ?tru."g!e took place. During the first stage of that battle the Turks fought wo'l but were steadily forced back. Presently the Turkish front between ho sea and the Jordan was broken [ind through the gap 'along the sea ?oast Ailenliy launched his cavalry I ? > ii v'lniti) nni'tli w!t Vfl nnil t liPll Oil set kVMrd to Nazareth. across the rear of he whole Turkish host. The Gernan commander, Liman Von Sanders, >arc'v escaped from the net by precipitate flight, but what was left of he Turkish armies, more than (10,000 men and -100 guns, fell into Allenby's lands. A month later Turkey capitulated." o .MK.MORY Perhaps Uncle "Ebony" Brown of Wavback, La., suffered from failing eyesight, fading memory or a constilutional inappreciation of the rising generation. However it may have been, a younger negro, who had returned home after an absence of manv vears. seemed to have escaped his recollection. "I'se boun' to say," commented Uncle Ebony, "maybe his face seem similar, but I fails to organize him!" "Well. Uncle Ebony," exclaimed the prodigal, in a tone of disappointment and with much resent fulness, "it's indifferent to me, but I can remember myself as de one who most infrequently used to supply yo' wid yo' chewin'-tobacco; and den yo' was much less reclusive wid yo' exhuberation!" o TOO LATE A youthful scenario writer with a freshly-creased diploma from a correspondence" school dashed into the office of the director of the Far-West Movie Studio and began: "1 have|just the thing for you in a novelty film. It's a story on the life of Robinson Crusoe whilh on the island. It calls for a very small cast and no interior sets; all outdoor effects, and can be put on for a very nominal figure. The scenario is not completed yet, but I'll have it written by Saturday, and?" "Sorry," said the director, eagerly grasping at the opportunity of escape "but you're too late; I have just contracted for a scenario on the life of PlMlL'AA 4 /\ I in uri?! i 4 An lt?t n i %%/r r 11 r\\r 1? vi vioug tu uu vv l ittC'll C certain man Friday." ?* o iRKTALIATION : vj A father and mother wishing t( punish their chi'd for disobedience told him lie could not eat with then and must have a table for himself it the coiner of the room.

VAY, S. C., APRIL 27, 1922 RUSSIAN STORY BEYOND BELIEF Five hundred to 1,000 bodies are each weok buried in Odessa's newest cemetery. They aye carried out in shoulders in coffins if the dead's relatives still have money and affection enough or are transported in motor trucks. If carried in trucks the bodies we piled high like so many broken p-ickages, men, women and children :iH together and all uncovered, barring i few rags. A', the cemetery the bodies are dumped near a trench and cast therein. Sometimes there is no trench. It is yet to be dug. This statement of fact is not given in criticism. The wonder is that the bodies are buried .t all and many would not be but for .% r-\ \ i i n a i n the tree Minuay laoor 01 ine v.ompumists, donated as party discipline. To say that the last phase of the bitter story of famine in Russia is told in this cemetery would he commonplace. Nobody can tell the story >f Russia. Perhaps neither Tolstoi nor Hugo could have done it. Those living or visiting there only now and then at odd moments realize what is happening. Cemetery an Object Lesson To ^ay that the population of Odessa, though constantly renewed by Jews fearing pogroms in the country, is about one-half its prewar population of 5,000,000 to (500,000; that conditions are as bad as on the Volga, worse than in Constantinople or worse than Vienna at its worst; to say that the life of the people is daily sapped by fear, famine, nervousness, madness, hopelessness, doesn't mean much. Probably one would have to see this cemetery to understand. Why not go to our cemetery and look at the mountain of unburied dead, if you wish to know what is happening to us," said a woman to the correspondent. The way ran some miles to the northeast of the city's center, through the Moldavanka suburb, shattered by the explosion of 1918 in the military warehouses. All along the streets and the road were block after block of stone buildings knocked down. Beyond the wrecked and unused warehouse and factory district lay the burial place on the edge of the steppe. "This is our third and newest cemetery,'"* said the guide. "The others were filled long ago." Peasant Gravediggers Hungry There were no bodies above ground. At the extremity of the graveyard a peasant bent over a shovel alongside :\ muddy trench. Called to, he came, wading through mud and snow. "Eighty bodies have been cast here and 1 am covering them," he said. Then, "I am hungry, I have not been paid for a long time. There are five of us. None of us have been paid." This seemed to be the end of the story. Going back, a Russian priest stood .at the gate, gowned in faded black velvet. "Let me show you _ .ji.' _ _ >? i__ ' i i.i: ii? sonuumnuy ne .said, gmung niiu me automobile. He directed the machine down a macadam road leading past the cemetery to the open country. He brought the machine within a few minutes to a big motor truck, backed across t He road. It carried some fifty-six bodies, limp and naked, arms and hands and heads rising here and there, massed like sardines in a can. The driver explained that he had just come from the railroad station, where the bodies had been assembled for him. He pointed to others lying in the mud across the ditch that drained the road. "These 1 brought yesterday. Only a part have been buried," lie said. The priest took the car a little further down the road. Here was another truck, unloading. "I got the bodies at the typhus hospital and the madhouse," said one of the men. Sometimes he i>*ot his load from the streets, at house doorways; often babies put there by parents too poor to bury them. How nv.inv people were being buried? No one could say exactly. A count had once been kept of those executed. Each had been buried with identity cards tied to the hands. But now there were too many and every one was tired. On the way hack to the city the I priest was set down at his pate. He I said he needed a pair of shoes but refused money offered. He smiled a vague farewell. No Signs of Mourning On the way back to the city groups of people were met carrying their dead, with no sign of mourning. They might as well have been going to market. No one pays much attention to the dead here. People are too absorbed in trying to live. , "America! You from America? Why, you come from paradise," exclaimed an old imperial /irmy officer, who has long acted as if mad to save , himself. He touched the correspond, ent's coat, kissed the sleeve, then asked: "Is it true?God's truth?that there , is bread in America?" o There is talk of deporting bootleggers.

I od i?i City Hall park. The jnoney for ihe monument to "Civic Virtue" was left to the city in the term of Mayor McClellan. Mr. MacMonnies had depicted the spirit of his theme as an onward marching; youth, a mighty club slung across husky shoulder, spurning with either foot a recumbent and alluringfemale, symbolic of all that isn't nice in civic aspiration. "I think it is a trifle ridiculous/' Miss Hay declared. "Perhaps the true symbolism lies in the fact that Civic Virtue' is depicted as naked. Thnt strikes one as reasonable after thinking of what civic virtue has had to undergo from the city hall politicians. No wonder the poor thing hasn't any clothes. "Why should MacMonnies have used a male figure trampling down tempting women ? Why not represent civic virtue as a man and woman hand-inhand, mounting confidently and happily a difficult path?" Mrs. Laidlaw agreed with Miss Hay. "Woman stand with men," she said. "The spirit of the times, it seems to me, is against a discrimination symbolic or otherwise." o No Wprms In a Healthy Child ^ All children troubled with Worms have an unhealthy color, which indicates roor h'ood, and as a rule, there is more or 1 ess stomach disturbance.

The Monitor, o > THE HALF-WIT A youngster employed by an Eastern mercantile establishment was mentally deranged. He frequently displayed violent temnor After a period the young1 man became angry at his employer and abandoned his job. He had difficulty in securing another. He read a magazine advertisement of revolvers. They could be obtained ?the most deadly pistols?at a certain place by paying a certain sum of money. The half-wit bought a gun. He thought he had been discharged from his previous position. Last week employes of his former company saw the young half-wit loitering about the company offices. He desired to see one of the principals of the firm. He failed to see either. He continued to loiter. At the dinner hour one of the principals stepped out of his office. The half-wit and his gun appeared. The principal is dead, shot dead by the deranged young man with the gun he had seen advertised in the magazine. The pistol manufacturers want to continue manufacturing revolvers. They want them advertised and sold. But the buyers often go to the penitentiary or to the gallows, and the victims go to the grave.
