HOW TO TAN COW HIDES Some Farmers of Horry May Not Know. These Things BARK TANNING METHOD Neatsfoot Oil Worked into The Finished Product to Make it Pliable In tanning a hide for leatner, the first thing to do is to get rid of the hair. This is accomplished by soaking the hide in a solution of limewater. To five gallons of soft water add about a quart of unslaked lime or two quarts of hardwood ashes. As soon as the animal is skinned put the hide in this solution and leave it there for two or three days, until the hair slips readily. If the hide has become dry, it should be soaked in soft water until it is as soft and pliable as a green hide. When the hair begins to slip, stretch out the hide and scrape it off with the dull edge of a butcher knife or other instrument, beginning at the neck and working towards the tail. If smoothgrained 1.-1L # ?- l 1 i 1 A - leatner is wamen, care must ne lateen not to remove the grain which is afilm-like membrane just over the real skin. The lime and ashes must be rinsed off the hide after the hair is removed. It is best to let it soak for a day . in slightly warmed rain water. The tanning solution for a moderately heavy cow hide is made by boiling together a quart of soft soap and a cupful of fish oil until the latter cuts the soap. To this mixture is added two cups of coal oil, half a pint of alum, half a pint ofarsenic, ( and about six quarts of soft water. I The stuff is then boiled for a few minutes and allowed to cool down to a lukewarm temperature. With light hides, the arsenic or alum will not be needed in the mixture, and half as much coal oil is used in two gallons of water. The latter modification is used for tanning dog ,calf, or colt hides. ?* <M?ny men who make leather on the farm cut the hide into long strips, about six inches wide, before putting it into the tanning solution. The strips are considerably easier to work and stretch than a whole hide. The solution should be at a. temperature of . about 90 degrees when the hide is first put in, and it should be kept in a warm room, preferably behind the kitchen stove, or beside the furnace in the basement. Every two or three days, take out the hide, wash it in soapy water, and work and stretch it until nearly dry. The stretching is as important as the tinning mixture, and plenty of it is what makes good leather. Two men can work a hide nicely by stretching it around a past until the hide is nearly dry. If .the hide begins to get stiff on drying, it has not been cured enough, and must be put back in the tanning mixture, which should first be warmed up"" to about 90 degrees. Care must be exercised, however, not to get the solution Any warmer than 90 decrees, or the hide will be burned. When the hide has cured to the necessary stage, it will be soft and pliable. The usual time required to make leather is from ten davs to two weeks, depending on the hide. The bark tanning methed is effective, making a f'^e quality of leather, but it takes longer than the method above described. Any of the oaks, willow, hemlock, or chestnut nvw be used. About a peck of tbo inner bark is cut up. and then about three gallons of boilintr soft water poured over it. This is allowed to steep in i covered vessel until cool, when the bark is removed. For sole leather, the Dieces should lio flnt with hovtr v.*?_ tween the pieces. Fresh bark should be added from time to time, and Ihe liquid reheated occasionally. Sole leather tanned in this way wil! wear like iron and the same process ntakes excellent harness leather. One way to tell when the hide is cured enough is to cut off a thin strip and hold it to the light. If the color strikes clear through it, the hide is ready for the final working, but if it shows light spots more curing is necessary. After a hide has been tanned, neatsfoot oil should be worked into it, to make the leather soft and pliable. Heavy hides may come out from the tanning solution a little stiff, but they are readily softened by working and rubbing with neatsfoot oil.?Wallace's Farmer. o Indiana tomato growers have introduced fungus wilt into their plantings by means of southern grown plants. A number of South Carolina farmers have done similar things. o The man who wouldn't insure till his barn was on fire had a brother who wouldn't sterilize farm seeds nor sprav til1 his crops were riddled with fiesta. They agreed that "farmin' don't pay." o The method of production of commercial melon seed insures their innoculation with a good many kinds of fungus spores. A wise precaution is to disinfect them before planting, or, better still, to save your own seed. o Good receipt books at The Herald office. o Habitual CoastlpatlM Cured in 14 *? 21 Days # 1AX-FOS WITH PEPSIN" Is a specially, prepared Syrup Tonic-Laxative for Habitual Constipation.

I WOMAN STANDS UNDER CHARGE Claim That Husband Was Suicide Will Not Go ______ i HARVEY HAS INVESTIGATED Interest Revives in Tragedy Wherein Sharp Razor Was Used In the year 1021, a woman, Mrs. Delia Kate Williamson, claimed that she found her husband's body cold in the yard early one morning. The relatives of the husband believed that he was brutally slain by the wife and they were never satisfied, although the corner held an inquest and found by the verdict that the man had killed himself. Now it appears that by means of detectives, evidence has been brought to light which has resulted in the arrest of the wife at Greenville, aci* - --- 1 wmuift tu iic? n iucmis ill tlie up-COUlltry papers last week, reading as follows: "Columbia.?Glimpses of a frail eighty-year-old woman pleading that the cause of the death of her son more than a year be cleared up were given here today, as one of the governor's special detectives told in fragmentary way of the events leading up to the arrest in Greenville yesterday of Mrs. Delia Kate Williamson in connection with the death of her husband at Wagner, Aiken county, in November, 1921. Asserting her belief that her son did not commit suicide as was reported when he was discovered early one morning in the back yard with his throat cut as was found by the coroner's jury that investigated the death, the aged mother of Williamson appealed to the detective to get to the bottom of the case, he said. Lean on Young Men "You are a young man," he said she told him, "and it is upon the young men that we must lean. For God's sake find out how my boy went to his death." What it was that he and another vestigation?lasting a day and a half special officer learned in a brief inthat, when placed before Solicitor Gunter, induced the latter to order the arrest of Mrs. Williamson on a charge of slaying her husband, the special officer refused to tell.

O'Neal Williamson was attending Furman .University, was described by the governor's special officer. Maintains Innocence. Mrs. Williamson, he said, maintained her innocence, and referred to a note that, was said to have been found in Williamson's room on the morning of his death. This note, which was identified as being in the handwriting of the dead man, according to the detective, referred to plans for "leaving the family" and goine* where papa is." and it was interpreted as havincr indicated nrpmeditated suicide on the part of WilMamson. W'Miamson's father was dead Mt that time, the officer said hp was informed. More Arrests? The possibility that there mipfht be one or more additional arrests in connection with the c.ise was hinted at by the detective. Governor Harvev tod^v said that be had been apnroached several months agro with reference to the Williamson case and had been asked to have his i detectives mnlro on ^ tin j i vc.ni Hit t Mill, nt1 declined to say who made the request, but in reply to a question, admitted that relatives of Williamson were among those who had pressed him for action. His detectives having business in Aiken, the governor said, he directed them on Thursday to proceed to Wagoner, with a view of learning whatever they could about Williamson's death. After comparatively few hours, he said, his men had presented tho solicitor with the evidence unon which Mrs. Williamson was held. 1 He declined also to intimate what was the nature of the evidence. Loaves Greenville. Mrs. Williamson left Greenville early this morning in custody of the governor's two special officers, who had pone there to assist in the search for the woman, and who were presend when she was arrested bv Sheriff Carlos A. Rector, of Greenville. One of the detectives left the other and his prisoner at Laurens anrl came to Columbia to make his report to the governor.

Mr THE HORRY HERALD, OONW lNTJppEST REVIVED Aiken.?Mrs. Delia Williamsob, arrested in Greenville, and chargea with the murder of her husband in this county, in November, 1921, was brou&ht here and placed in jail this afternoon. Mrs. Williamson asserts her innocence. The arrest, which occurred in Greenville Sunday, charging Mr*. Williamson with the murder of her husband on the night of November 23rd, 1921, in this county, has the effect of reviving sensational interest in this case throughout the Wagener section where the Williamsons lived. Ever since Williamson's body was found in the yard of his home with his throat cut, there have been persistent rumors of foul play and while the verdict of the coroner's jury was that Williamson came to his death from razor wounds inflicted by himself, or unknown parties, the theory of the suicide has been scouted. Relatives _ ? 1.1 J -1 ' * ' ' * oi me ueaci man nave Kepi tne matter alive and have repeatedly written Governor Harvey about it, urging that an investigation be made of the facts in the case. Followed Probe. [ As a result of the investigation from the governor's office, Mrs. WilI liamson was arrested in Greenville where she moved recently when her home in the Wagener section was destroyed by fire. Williamson was a retired farmer and merchant who had been in ill health and had suffered financial reverses. On the morning of November 23rd, 1921, he was found dead in his yard. At the coroner's inquest, Mrs. Williamson testified he had "failed to arise at his usual hour that morning, and that when she passed the door of his room she saw that his bed was unoccupied. Upon investigation, she found blood stains on the bed clothing and on the floor, these leading to the kitchen. She called a neighbor and the body was then discovered. A negro woman working for the Williamsons swore that she heard them quarrelling the night before, but Mrs. Williamson stated that her husband gave her all his money the night before his body was discovered the next morning, saying she might need it and a note left on his dresser written in his own handwriting read: "I am going to leave you; I am going where papa is." Relatives of Mrs. Williamson stated that she is innocent of the charges made against her and that they will stand by her. o Use the forms that are printed and for sale by The Horry Herald.

As soon as the plants come up, the bed should be ventilated, if weather conditions are favorable. Even when the temperature is nearly freezing in the early morning, it will be warm enough before midday to ventilate the bed for a few hours. If the frames are not properly ventilated, the plants will grow too tall and become tender and will not withstand the transplanting without being injured. The same hotbed may be used for various kinds of vegetables, say the horticulturists. For instance, one may first grow cabbage and cauliflower. After these are removed or IranspVinted to the cold frame, tomatoes, eggplants, and pepper seed may bo sown in the same frame. These wil' be of ample size for transplanting by the time weather conditions are favorable. Great care should be exercised in watering the plants. If they are watered too freelv during the w^rm weather, they will grow too rapidly, and if wintered too freely during excessively cold weather, they are likely to be injured. It is, therefore, recommended that the plants be watered just enough to keep them in good growing condition and not allow them to suffer. o SUMMONS FOR RELIEF (Complaint Served.)

AY, S. 0, JAN. 25, 1923 SOY BEANS A I SUCCESS CROP Clemson College.?Among the new crops being tried out by many progressive farmers of South Carolina, the soy bean is proving to be one of the most satisfactory. This crop is easily managed by the labor and machinery found on the average farm. It may be used as a supplementary cash crop to cotton, as a soil building crop, and as a hay or grazing crop for stock. From the success obtained this year by a l.arge number of farmers, it is assured that the acreage in soy beans will be greatly increased next year, says R. W. Hamilton. Extension Specialist in Soy Beans. Velvet Beans, and Cowpeas, who has furnished the following notes regarding success with soys in this state. W. G. Perkins, of Fort Mott, harvested over 800 bushels of Mammoth Yellow soy beans from 40 acres in 1922, and has been fattening over a hundred head of hogs on the beajjs left in the field by the harvester. He states that he has received several offers for his crop and is well pleased with the results obtained, and expects to increase his acreage next year. Mr. N. B. Loadholt, of Fairfax, is highly pleased with soy beans as a hog grazing crop. On seven acres of Mammoth Yellow soy beans he crazed 115 hoes fnr cov<*pq1 woolrt? All ? V/ * ?* i 11 VVAOl nil VI the hogs showed remarkable gains in weight. Mr. Paul Sanders, of Ritter, is one of the largest growers of soy beans in the state. He has grown them for several years, and last year harvested over 2,000 bushels. He says that every farmer should grow five or six acres of soy beans to the plow. Information concerning this crop may be had from the county agents or or from the Extension Service, Clemson College. o PLANT PEST POINTERS o By Dr. C. A. Ludwig, Associate Plant Pathologist. o Have you said "certified seed potatoes" to your dealer yet? Fire is one of the best destroyers of infected refuse that was ever invented. Remember that outside tobacco seed is apt to introduce wildfire or blackfire (angular lear spot.) A good many cars of South Carolina melons reached market in a diseased condition last summer. This could have been prevented. After making deductions for duplications where one disease affected two or more crops, there were 100 different crop diseases recorded for South Carolina in 1022. The 1922 plant disease survey shows two new seed-borne diseases to be present in South Carolina and others to have become more widespread. Save seed at home. o?
