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.

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. V
These certificates are perhaps the
only securities in the world which are
sold with an absolute guarantee as
to their worth during the period for
which they are issued. They are always
worth more than they cost and

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.

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.

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

"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

things coupled with these, else such

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

only pledge my best efforts to give
you better service.
