FIGS SHOULD .
BE PRESERVED
Over $3,000 worth of fig- preserves
were sold in Adams, Jefferson and
Copiah counties, Miss., during the past
season, after the state market specialist
and the extension worker representing*
the United States Department
of Agriculture and the state agricultural
college had shown the women of
those counties how to prepare and
market a high grade product. It was

fig preserves that came in to the extension
office that tlie figs wasted
each year in southwestern Mississippi
could be turned into a good cash income
for the fVirm women of the state.
Investigation showed that the shelves
of the leading grocers were stocked
with California fig preserves instead
of those prepared locally.
A standard recipe was introduced
by the home demonstration agent in
each county and club members who
had figs were instructed in the method
of putting up a product that could
compete with highly standardized
commercial products. Members who
enrolled for this work even took the
precaution to buy sirup thermometers
in order to have a perfect preserve
for sale.
A large part of these preserves was
sold within the state, but many orders
were filled outside. The fig preserves
were sold to hotels and tearooms and
sent as gifts to persons in New Orleans
and Chicago and other Illinois
cities, Denver, Hot Springs, Detroit,
New York, Nashville, and several
cities .and towns in Virginia and West

$2,000 worth of fig" preserves were

all three counties that a permanent
industry has been established.

RECORD OF THE PAST
No Stronger Evidence Can Re Had In
Conway.
Look well to their record. What
they have done many times in years
gone by is the best guarantee of future
results. Anyone with a had
back; any reader suffering from urinary
troubles, from kidney ills, should
find comforting words in the following
statement:
H. C. Moore, farmer, Conway, says:
"I had constant pain in by back and
was so lame and sore I could hardly
walk or bend. My sight blurred F.r.d
objects floated before my eyes. My
kidneys acted irregularly, too. Doan's
Kidney Pills were recommended so I
bought some at the Conway Drug Co.
They relieved the backache and other
symptoms of the trouble."
* AFTER FOUR YEARS, Mr. Moore
added: "Doan's Kidney Pills cured
me of kidney trouble and I am glad
to renew my former endorsement."

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
From Specialists' Correspondence
With Farmers
Which shall 1 use, tankage or fish
meal, as a protein supplement for
hop's??T_ T) W Fountain Inn
Our experimental work here at the
college shows that fish meal is equal
to tankage as a protein supplement.
Other stations have proven the same
thing.
Will peanuts improve the soil when
vines and luits are removed??H. B.
Iv., Summerton.
No. This would injure your soil
rather than improve it. The peanut
is not considered a good leguminous
plant for the improvement of soil. It
would be much better for you to plant
cowpeas, soy beans or velvet beans.
Crimson clover may .also be planted in
late summer of early fall as a clover
crop.
Please tell me how to make watermelons
to mature just before frost.?
R. H. S., Lake City.
For melons to mature just before
frost 1 think it would be best to plant
the first week in June. Plant on comparatively
poor land, but fertilize
heavily and use from 3 to 4 shovelfuls

of well decomposed manure in each
hill. Instead of planting; on a hill as
is the custom in the early spring, rake
the ground until it is level, covering
a little deeper than they are covered
in the early spring. Use about 500
pounds of an 8-4-4 fertilizer.
Will nitrate of soda kill plants??
S. M.. Abbeville.
Nitrate of soda will kill any kind
of plant if .applied too heavily near
the roots. Sometimes it will only kill
the leaves and after a few days the
plants will begin to grow again, but
is a rule when too heavy an application
is applied the entire plants will
bo destroyed.
What causes hogs to blister, or skin
-icald, when they are on forages?
This is caused by the dew getting
the skin wet. The hot sun shines on
he wet skin and then causes the skin
o blister. This may be controlled by
holding the hogs oiT pasture until the
dew diies off.
Does peanut meal have the poisoning
effect of cottonseed meal ??J. V.
W., Mull ins.
Peanut meal does not have the toxic
effect which has been so often experienced
as a result of feeding cottonseed
meal.
Can I feed fish scrap and tankage
which are sold on the market as fertilizer??J.
T. P., Landford.
Fish scrap and tankage which are
sold as fertilizer are of low quality
and generally speaking have not
given satisfactory results for hog
feeding. Practically all authorities
recommend the high grade tankage
and fish scrap for feeding hogs. That
used for fertilizer is often made from
condemned carcasses and other materials
which would not be satisfactory
for hog feeding.

barD^Osed
for hog feed
Barley as a hog feed is coming on
the markets in increasing amounts,
probably for the reasons that its use
for brewing purposes has fallen olT
and the hog industry has been moving
into the barley-producing districts.
The United States Department of Agriculture
has taken up the problem of
finding out the relative feeding value
of light and heavy barley. There are
no Federal standards for this grain,
but light and heavy grades are recognized
on the market.
During 1021 the department made
feeding tests of the two grades and
the trials will be repeated. Not
enough data are available yet for definite
conclusions as to the relative
merits of the light and heavy grain,
but the results have shown that high
class barley has a feeding value only
slightly lower than good shelled corn.
When these tests are completed the
department will have additional information
on the methods of feeding
barley, whether or not it should be
fed whole, rolled, dry, or soaked.
It is expected that barley will be
used much more in the future as a

THE HORRY HERALD. CON
GREAT WORK IS
REPORTED DOING
The following summary of work for
the past three months by the county
home demonstration agent, Miss
Helen Thomas is very interesting1 and
shows that her time has been well
employed.
She has organized twelve girls'
clubs with an enrollment of 146 members.
three women's clubs with an enrollment
of thirty-one members. She
has held fifty-four meetings with an
attendance of 554, visited fourteen
schools and thirty-nine club members
and traveled 1,521) miles in the interest
of !ho work. Miss Thnnuis wi-itov.
as follows:
"The cooking clubs have finished
yeast breads in all the clubs, and
much interest is shown in all the clubs.
In one club each girl, after seeing
the demonstration, is given a piece of
the dough to try out bread making at
home. The sponge cake demonstration
has been given in each club. One
girl reports that she, her sister and
her mother have each made sponge
cake since the last club meeting. She
also said almost every woman in the
community lv.ul made sponge cake by
the club girls' receipt. The girls in
the biscuit contest have been given
biscuit demonstrations at each club
meeting. The sewing clubs are doing
good work. The girls of the county
seem to be more interested in cooking
and sewing than any other phase
of the work. The sewing work this
year is much better than last year.
The poultry club is composed of
boys. They are raising White Leghorns.
Some poultry has been shipped
by the agent to Charleston for sale
and she expects to do more of this
for her club members. This work
h.as been done in addition to office
work and instruction in the clubs.
Mrs. S. O. Plowden, District Agent.
o
Starting simultaneously in every
community in the United States, on
April 30, the international association
of Rotary clubs and the American Legion
will combine to observe "Boys'
Week" with exercises and programs
of interest and help to young America.

No Worms In a Healthy Child ^
All children troubled with Worms have an unhealthy
color, which indicates poor b'ood, and as a
rule, there is more or I ess stomach disturbance.
GROVE'S TASTELESS CHILL TONIC given regularly
for two or throe weeks will enrich the blood,
improve the digestion, and act ns a generalStrengthening
Tonic to the whole system. Nature will then
throw off or dispel the worms, and the Child will be
hi perfect health.* Pleasant to take.*60c per bottle.
STOCK LAW-ACT
IS UNSETTLED
A delegation from Berkeley county,
headed by Octavus Cohen, appeared
before Governor Harvey last week in
an effort to have the governor sign
the act of the 11)22 session of the
islature exempting Berkeley county
from the general stock law. Governor
H/u vey told the delegation that he
was strongly in favor of the general
stock law, but that he had not investigated
the act in question and would
therefore not give an opinion at this
time.
There is also an unsigned act in
relation to Horry county on the retiring
governor's desk. The Herald
will ask Hon. Jeremiah Smith to write
an item for the paper as to the nature

NEWSY NOTES FROM
MOTTE BUSINESS COLLEGE
The management of the Motte
Business Colleges, Conway brunch,
desires to announce the coming to
Conway of Dr. Troy K. Mustek, manager
of the business c-t liege at Florence
for some t?.n3. j>r. Music k is
one of the most popular an l efficient
men that have ever been connected
with the schools. He is a native of
the State of Virgiua, Master of
Arts of the U'U?*er*:ty of Vir^n ia, a

the utmost in instruction and
rapid advancement. Mr. Ratcliffe is
associated with Dr. Musick.
In tlie buisenss college notes of a

We desire to .add to this list the name
of Dr. Burroughs, the founder and
owner of the Burroughs hospital of
Conway. This gentleman has devoted
his life to human welfare; he is a
trained surgeon and a practitioner of
great ability and success. No county
in South Carolina has produced a
member of the medical profession in
recent years who has served the people
more faithfully than has Dr. Burroughs.
We desire to mention the names of
two young men connected with the
school who are living up to the best
traditions of business education and
showing decided improvement along
all lines?in attendance, good work,
loyalty, good deportment, and a desire
to succeed. These young men are
Mr. Warner Hedrick and Mr. Charles
Burroughs. They have made marked
progress during the past three weeks.
We extend a cordial invitation to
the 'high school students to enter at
the close of school. Dr. Musick has
been superintendent of schools for a
number of years. We also invite the
town and county young people to enroll
with us now. We ^.ave secured
the strongest man in any of the Motte
colleges and any student desiring
preparation for civil service work,
such as railroad mail clerks, copyists
or other government positions will do

regular C. P. A. man at the head < f
the school now. Messrs. Ratcliffe
and Frazier have given exceptional
