SOURCE SEED" IRISH POTATOES Clemson College.?It is generally accepted that seed potatoes from Maine are the best for South Carolina conditions, and very little seed from other states is planted. An experiment was planned by the horticulturist of the South Carolina Experiment Station to determine if such is the case, and if not from what state the best seed could be obtained. In this test certified seed obtained from Wisconsin, Vermont, Michigan, and New York, and second crop seed from Virginia; also seed kept over from the crop grown in the spring of 1020 at this station were used. The Irish Cobbler variety was planted. The potatoes were grown in bottom land, which is a sandy loam soil. The Virginia seed made the highest yield, with the Vermont, New York, Wisconsin, and home-grown seed yielding in the order named. The low yield of the home-grown seed was due mainly to the condition of the seed tubers, which were kept over in ordinary storage and had greatly deteriorated. The size of the tubers of the seed potatoes obtained from Virginia averaged very much smaller than did the size of seed from other sources, and therefore a bushel of Virginia seed planted .1 much larger area than did the seed from other sources. The certified seed from Michigan which were , sent us as Irish Cobblers were found to be Green Mountain, and therefore were not used in -this test. Certified seed were also ordered from Maine, but the shipper packed them in nnwn?Vior1 nih'nfn oaHo horro in/1 Mil lltVAM vv \/? nvuu H f' 1 ? UIIVI v.rhen they reached Clemson College, the tubers were completely rotted; and as it was then too late to order . a second lot of seed, Maine seed were not used in this test. This was very unfortunate since Maine seed are so generally used in this state; and as the second crop of Virginia seed averaged the highest yield at this and the sub-stations, it would have been interesting. and no doubt profitable, to have found how the yield of the Virginia seed compared with that or Maine seed. o PUTTING MONEY ON THE STAMPS More than $1<).000,000 has been p.'iid by the Federal Reserve Bank, of Richmond, to the owners of War Saving Stamps, series 191S. since January 1st, and more than 81,000,000 has been exchanged for the new Treasury Savings Certificates, series 1923. Many millions more will probably be redeemed or exchanged through the regular post office channels within the next few weeks. Exchanges of matured War Savings Stamps for the new Certificates may still be made, as of current date. The local postmaster cautions all who receive such funds to beware of all efforts of unscrupulous promoters to induce them to use the proceeds uiKiuestionable stocks or invest in of their War Savings Stampe to buy highly speculative ventures. The postmaster strongly recommends the opening of a Postal Savings account or the reinvestment of such funds for another five yean in Treasury Savings Certificates which viekl 4Ms per cent interest per annum, compounded semi-annually, if held to maturity, or m.ay be cashed at any time at about 3 per cent simple interest per annum.

THE HORRY HERALD, OONWA BUTTER MAKING ON THE FARM Clemson College.?Although the creamery has become a factor of great importance in the dairy development of the country, still, according to the last census, 91)4,000,000 pounds of butter per year, of 61 per cent of the total, was made on farms. The greater part of this was produced on farms where fewer than ten cows were kept. The quality of farm-made gutter varies from the poorest to the best. The average quality, however, in far below that made in creameries, says B. E. Goodale, Assistant Professor of Dairying, who believes that this is utensils and facilities, on account of the small amount of cream available on most farms. Lack of interest and of knowledge as to the proper methods also effects the quality of the product. When proper facilities are provided and the right methods are followed, the quality of the butter made on the farm may be superior to that made in the average creamery. To do this, it is necessary to Have sufficient cream to make it possible to churn at least twice and preferably three times each week. Some may ask what is meant by "facilities needed." South Carolina farmers do not always have ideal conditions for making farm butter. It is very desirable but, of course, not absolutely necessary to have a separate room arranged for butter-making. Sometimes a basement room, if it is well ventilated and lighted, can. be utilized to advantage. ?A concrete floor provided with a drain slaves a great deal of labor in cleaning apparatus. Some means of cooling, either ice or an abundance of very cold water, is indispensable. The question, "What is good butter?" is often asked. Butter that has qualities which make it satisfactory to the consumer always sells readily. While there is some variation in individual taste, the general market demands the same quality everywhere. Good butter is, of course, free from rancid, stale or strong odors and is pleasing to the palate. Since the American public demands wholesome food pleasing to the taste, the producer of good butter need never fear that he can not get top prices for his product. o TO PROTECT COMBS Olemson College.?When combs are taken out of the hives and stored in the house, the bee moth will ruin them unless great care is used to protect them, according to a warning given bee keepers by E. S. Prevost, Extension Bee Specialist, who makes the following suggestions: If necessary-to fumigate them, put the frames in the super or brood chamber and place supers one on top of the, other. Be sure that they fit close enough to be air-tight. The top "liper should be empty of frames. Place in it a saucer or small vessel with bisulphide of carbon and cover the top super with a cover which will make it .air-tight. By this method the bisulohide of carbon evaporates and spttlf?s riown nil tVivmicrVi fl-io combs, thereby killing all living insects. Be very careful to keep all fires away from bisulphide of carbon, a.<? it is highly explosive, but it is not dangerous otherwise. SELECTING GOOD CORN SEED Clemson College.?Selection of good seed corn should begin in the field from plants of good, pure parentage and grown a safe distance from disturbing pollen of other varieties. After such field selections are made and the seed corn is carefully harvested when fullv matured''from stalks on which fodder has not been pulled, further care should be exerted to prevent loss or deterioration from weevils. rats and mice. This fielcj-selection of com should agrain be selected in the bin where the individual features of each ear may be scrutinized. Uniformity in color of cobs, length and circumstances of ears well filled tips and butts, depth of the grain, and close fitting straight rows are important. This latter work can be done now. The double selection will, if carefully pursued, greatly assist in raising standards of quantity and quality and is at the same time something any farmer can do for himself, says Jas. L. Carbery, Extension Agronomist, who suggests that farmers would do well to talk this matter over with their county agents, or write to the Extension Service, Agronomy Division, Clemson College. 4* AGAIN APPEAR IN MULLINS Hooded Band Calls on William Collins and Whips Him According to a report contained in The Marion Star of last week, and also confirmed by reports brought to this town by travelers, a hooded hand, said to be the Ku Klux Klan, visited Mullins again on Saturday night recently and going into the shop occupied by William Collins, forced him to come out and enter an automobile; that they took Collins ofT into the woods, or somewhere, and administered to him a severe heating. It was reported that three men went into the store, all armed, and that they surprised Collins and his son-inno other security offered can give a stronger guarantee of safety of principal and certainty of interest. Each certificate is registered against loss or theft. Arrangements for purchase may be made through the postoffice. LY, S. C, JAN. 25, 1923 WINTHROP CELEBRATES FOUNDER'S DAY Rock Hill, Jan. 10.?"January 10th, 1923, will long remain in the memory of all who were so fortunate as ^o be present in the great auditorium of Winthrop College, taxed to its fullest capacity, for the observance of Founder's day. There were visiting alumnae, former students, and friends from various parts of the State assembled to do honor to the constructive genius, rare wisdom and divine inspiration of those Nvho founded Winthrop College for Women. The one who, more than any one else, had "the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, the hand to execute" plans for the founding and develoment of the great state institution for the womanhood of South Carolina, is David Bancroft Johnson, the one and only president of the college." Dean Kinard, of Winthrop, presided over the exercises. After the invocation and Scripture reading, he presented a few facts concerning the development of education of women in the state. Following this he introduced the Hon. Josephus Daniels, ExSecretary of the Navy. itr%. n mi > X/UIIICIO an uy oviuicoom^ the girls as "shipmates," because of the pavyiblue uniforms, thus placing himself on a familiar basis. Proceeding he classified dreamers, as those who see noble things and let them pass and those who do 'not regard them as fugitive, but who follows them to large and glorious service. From this he passed on to Dr. Johnson's dream of thirty-seven years ago, to its materialization up to the present time, and its promises for the future. Mr. Daniels does not agree with those who call this "the cement age." "I call it, he said, "the woman's age. Woman has ceased being men's inferion or his superior and has become his equal. You live in a day when the door of opportunity has been flung wide open. The opening of Winthrop aNrid Clemson Colleges for the higher education of the boys and girls of this state marked the beginning of a new era of prosperity for South Carolia." Here Mr. Daniels paused to pay high tribute to the late Senator Ben R. Tillman, who was influential in the establishment of Winthrop College. The speaker presented what he considered as his main point, that of advising the young women to go into politics. "If you would save your day and generation, go into politics heels over head unreservedly, whole-heartedly. Make politics and good government one and inseperable. For so long have men been indifferent to purity in politics and put up with bad men in office that women should assert their citizenship, and drive out these men not fit to hold nublic office TI would not have you indifferent to public ills. I would have you indignant when a corrupt man is in a public office." Mr. John E. Breazelle, the second speaker on the program, was 'one of the charter members of the board of trustees of the college. In his interesting address, Mr. Breazelle traced the growth and development of the college from 1896, when.it began as the Winthrop training school for teachov?. in a one-room building in Columbia to the present position, as one of the greatest colleges of the South. The credit for this great piece of work belongs to its founder and President Dr. Johnson who has made this possible by his devoted and unselfish service! Dr. Johnson, in responding to this address, said: "I am very thankful that I have been spared to see another milestone reached in the development of Winthrop College. I rejoice that this, the 36th year of the life of the college is its most momentous year in many particulars in which our courses of study have been strengthened, our entrance requirements advanced and our faculty increased to care for the largest enrollment in the history of the college. "It has been my good fortune to be associated in all of this development with a wise and patriotic board of trustees, a loyal and progressive faculty, and an earnest and loyal student body. I want to pay tribute here to all of these vital agencies in the upbuilding of this institution, without them we could not have arrived at 4>UIn /*A/\/1 /IniF i/i i in fty vvu ua^. "With this continued co-operation and devoted helpfulness, I can see no limit to Winthrop's growth in usefulness and service to the young womanhood of South Carolina and through them to the homes and schools and social betterment of the state." After the afternoon program the men of the faculty entertained Dr. .Johnson at a stag dinner, and in the evening he was the honor guest at a play given in the college auditorium by the Winthrop girls.

NOTICE TO TEACHERS To the Teachers. Trustees and Patrons of Horry County: I desire to take this means of extending to you my best wishes for a most happy and prosperous new year, both personally and in the great work of upbuilding our schools and furthering the cause of education. I feel deeply grateful, my fellow workers, for your splendid co-operation during the school term of 1921-22. The records show that more children are now in school in this county than ever before in our previous history. This speaks well in itself and shows that there is a spirit among our people which will insure to the next generation a better education and a better chance in life than many of us had. I also want to thank you and the people of the county generally for the interest shown in the illiteracy campaign that was put on in the early SDriner of last vw?r. Wp V?otia ^ ro. sume this work at some time in the near future, and I am sure we shall again j0jn hands in pushing it forward successfully. It will no doubt be of interest to know that every school in the county received state aid last year. 84 schools applied for aid under the Equalizing Law and every single application was honored. These applications were approved for $84,000.00, of which $75,832.00 has already been received, while $8,167.00 is yet unpaid oecause of the shortage in appropriations for this work by the Legislature. The following shows the amounts received for the different purposes: Extension, $2,221.00; Rural Graded, $15,400.00; Equalizing, $45,488; High Schools, $4,918.00; Overcrowding in elementary grades, $3,741.00; Building Aid, $1,222.00; Betterment Negro Schools, $30.00; School Improvement Aid, $80.00; Night School, $2,232.00; Whitemore Training School, $500.00. Much more state aid would have been received on new school buildings if the County Board had had sufficient funds to pay its part. 15 or 20 new buildings in the county are now hungering for state aid. Many more new buildings are on the way. Please help us pray the Legislature for the needed appropriations. 64 rural graded schools are submitting applications for rural graded aid at this time. And 85 or 90 schools will be applying for equalizing aid just a little later. Several of the schools of ttfe county have added an extra teacher this year, and more money will be needed to run the schools this year than was needed last year. It is gratifying to note min;, notwithstanding the cry of hard times, many of the schools of the county are voting special taxes and levies for bonds, and in some districts Feed Her The surest way to obt your cows is to feed a r greatest amount of milklowest cost The feed t Happy Cow (24% Pi It absolutely returns moi invested than any other fee combines all the best quali Variety?BulkDigest!

I am not unmindful, however, of the great fact that beautiful buildings and splendid equipment, such as libraries and other school furnishings, do not in themselves nuike schools. There must be some other things coupled with these, else such monetary values will count for naught. The great aim is to see that the children are actually taught, that they not only have opportunity to acquire but do actually acquire an education. To insure such successful school work will require the hearty support on the part of trustees And patrons of the teachers they have employed to use these buildings and equipment furnished them.
