McMahan, Insurance Commissioner, a copy of the annual report of the office, and find that it contains many interesting matters about the question of insurance. Mr. McMahan says that we ought to educate the public to strict enforcement of the law against the burning of one's own property for fraudulent purposes, and we think he is right. o : I Tell it to The Horry Herald. hi I t tiouid lonth Inter g at cess ;ries reb-. *7 ? r>- ? v , for * than ;ceshere ' aintably 4 >u these ? purchase * for use ur order dealer's any ? .

Feb. 25.?Passing far beyond its allotted sparr of forty days 1 and nights, itfid with the important '} legislative measures yet to be acted' upon, the general assembly has reach-' ed that period in the life of the session . when one can predict that it can shut up shutters within a couple of weeks, certainly by three weeks at the out- 1 side. The Herald's correspondent can < see no further into a mill rock than the .average man, if as far, and hence offers no prediction as to what will be the fate of the revenue producing bills the house ways and means committee has offered to escape the annual drain on the general property tax. That committee has certainly done some hard, faithful, consciencious work, and h.as reported out hills that would go a long ways towards relieving the property tax burden should they become law. Revenue Bills. r|^ a r% r\ % *%%%* I 1^511 ? -A-1 - * * iic vuihiiiwuhv mil,e trie income tax bill, the stock and bond' transfer bill, the small arms and munitions tax bill, all these have been brought up in the house and will soon re.^ch the other end of the capitol; so the deliberation over the revenue bills will require time. Representative A. Foster McKissick, of Greenville, one of the hardest working members of the ways and means committee, in talking with The Herald's correspondent, said that if N these several measures are passed in anything like the shape they were presented by his committee a revenue to the State of over one and a half millions can reasonably be expected, and this, he states, would reduce the State levy by something like four mills. Important as these revenue measures are. there are two issues equallv vital?the educational system of the S*ate, the public and hierh schools, and the good roads problems. The wavs nnd means committees, it comes from high authority, has provided beyond any preadventure for the school system, making the appropriations di- ( rect and not based on any contingency, and the committee has granted all the_requests of State Superintendent of Education Hone, which total something like $1,700,000 for the current year .this being an increase over last year's budget. Then there is the good roads problem yet to be threshed out in the house. The senate has orone on record as progressively favoring a State road building program, but the house has not taken affirmative action. Appropriation Bill. The State's annual appropriation bill has been shaped up by the wavs and means committee, and will be presented to the bouse Monday night, if present plans of Chairman Claude Sapp of that committee do not go .astray. It will then be seen just what is required in the way of the general tax to keep the running gear of the old ship of state intact. So with all important legislation of a statewide nature, and many of the local problems of the county's of the State still hanging fire, it is seen that much remains *o be done, .and it will oe no uisk to clear up the decks within two weeks. o URGE PLANTING OF LUCRETIA In Spartanburg, the setting of Lucretia berry plants for the purpose of home luxury as well as the manufacture of jam for the South Carolina Producers' Marketing association, is being stressed by Miss Kate M. Hooper, home demonstration agent. She says: "The orchard is one of the best placet* for interplanting of dewberries, which does not interfere with the growth, cultivation or the spraying of the trees. . "At picking time the work is not so very hard and because it is done in piece meals, we can almost always get extra labor to help. "The returns in profits will usually exceed many other crops which might grow on the same place. "In growing dewberries between newly planted fruit trees be sure to apply sufficient tertnizer so that neither berry crop nor fruit trees will lfcck the sustenance for full development or rapid growth. "This interplanting with young- orchard trees is of great advantage, there being enough plant food used to give the young fruit trees their fullest development. "Let us utilize the orchard space in producing luscious berry jam to All our contracts in the producers' association, making home also luxurious with such commodities as berry jelly, jam and dectar." o TESTING LIVESTOCK FEEDS ,-f 'V, Clerpson College?The Animal Husbandry .Division of Clem son College is doing a good piece of work in making an effort to determine the feeding value of velvet beans in different forms for cattle and hogs. Last winter a steer fattening experiment whs conducted, in which velvet beans proved a more economical beef producer than corn or rice meal. At the present time an experiment is being conducted comparing dried beans and soaked beans with cottonseed meal as concentrates for wintering steers. Silage furnishes the roughage in each of these lots. Some feeding work is being done also with hogs. Ten lots are being F. JL SULLIVAN fc CO. Certifred PWMk Aiiiwtito (Ut) Telephone So. 796.

A health sermon in five words: Drink milk; eatsvegetables. Farm commodities bought and sold with the help of county agents ir> South Carolina in 1922 amounted to $605,767 at a saving of $69,978. Are county agents worth their salt? ..?* - - 1?1 viimci iuuis cue uie nest suosou implements just as the Jack Frost is the best surface pulverizer. Without a good garden life is just one tin can after another. The possibilities which await the community that will work together and build up a reputation for a special farm product are almost unlimited. We may not believe in peanut politicians, but the farmer who has peanuts for sale at $125 per ton is in clover. To the farmer who is careless with lis woodlands: Our home consump tion of lumber in South Carolina is now greater annually than the amount of growth or increase of timber. Be not deceived?Co-operative marketing can not get a high price for a low grade product and co-pperative marketing won't improve the grade; only the grower can do that. We kick like moonshine about high taxes, and yet we tax ourselves millions of dollars annually to buy food n J 11 T i- ?V\ /Ml M l\/\ fVt*Atirr\ iillU ltttju^vvili ^ uuit ^iiv/uiu uc vvt &i M home. That's consistency. Do you scoff at "boy stuff" when boys' club work is mentioned? Well, remember that "boy stuff" is the only stuff in the world from which men can be made. You have heard it said that "Everybody's business is nobody's business," but 1 say unto you, "The farmer's business is everybody's business. c ?? The making of big* debts that are never paid and the giving of bad checks are two evils that the Merchants' Credit Association of Conway will endeavor to curb hereafter. They are now organized and will spot the dead beats before they do the deadbeating. I o fed on velvet beans in different forma and with different proportions of corn or tankage. Velvet beans are being ' ?J '" . nninim utniro. noniolv r\ r\f men in vai loun ^ in the hull, ground, soaked and cooked. It is hoped that some information will be obtained that will be of interest and value to the farmers of the stats, says E. G. Godbey, Assistant Animal Husbandman, for at the present time we find that the experiences of the farmers are varied, some recommending* one form of beans for fattening while others have had best success with different forms.
