W. Hamilton, Extension Specialist in Peanuts, Soy Beans and Cowpeas. Mr. Clair Guess of Denmark summed up the sentiment of this section regarding peanuts when he stated that he considered peanuts one of the best crops for his section under boll weevil conditions. He recommends that only 4 to 5 acres be planted to the plow and that the land be thor oughly prepared before planting. Cost of cultivation must be kept low, and Mr. Guess does this by the use of weeders that cover from six to eight feet at a time. He stated that there is no better implement to put in a peanut field than a weeder or a light harrow. Mr. Guess says that, considering peanuts over a number of years, they have always produced a small profit and in some years considerable profit, and that he intends to continue to plant them as one of his money crops. As Mr. Guess has been planting from 175 to 200 acres for a number of years, hi* statement may be taken as coming from a farmer that has had experience in peanut growing. o THE "DAUGHTERS OF THE SEA For the purpose of making more comfortable and pleasant the hours spent in their home ports by the masters, mates, and pilots of the Pacific, and developing radio broadcasting to their ships while at sea, wives, daughters, and sweethearts of mariners living at Seattle have formed an organization called the "Daughters of the Sea." The Daughters of the Sea plan to bring the home closer to the ship, and the radio will be their chief means toward that end. The club has under- I taken the fitting- up of quarters on the top floor of one of the city's tall buildings, and is furnishing them with library, comfortable chairs, smoking accessories, and marine glasses, so that seafarers may watch from the windows the ships making and leaving the port. A powerful radio sending and receiving apparatus is to be installed on the roof of the building, and entertainments, concerts, etc., held in the club rooms will be broadcasted to the ships at sea. The personnel of vessels in any storm area will be cheered by the voices of loved ones at home. A practical service also will be maintained; the location of all ships from the home port will be recorded from day to day. The plans also include the entertainment of visiting captains from other ports of. the world. There will be a committee supplying all arriving ships with flowers, and seamen strangers will be provided with comfort and entertainment. Eventually, it is expected, the Daughters of the Sea will extend their work to all countries by establishing branch chapters. o ATTENTION, BEEKEEPERS! Clean Hives Where Colonies Have Died Clemson College.?A hive where bees have died should be removed and cleaned out thoroughly so that the robbers will not start. There is no natural honey flow at this time and if honey is left in the yard where the bees can get it they will start carrying it to their hives. When they get started at robbing they usually attack the weaker colonies, in this way causing a great loss. If the hive where the bees have died has good combe in it be sure to save the comb from worm injury so that you can put bees back on them this spring, says E. S. Provost, Extension Bee Specialist, who says that every time you save comb you save quite a good deal of honey and work on the bees. Prepare Hives for Busy Season "While the days are cold, bee owners should be cleaning and painting up hives and putting in foundations so that when the busy seascm comes this ! much will be ready. It is an old custom of beepkeepers to wait for bees to ?warm before they get the hive ready. But by having the hives ready you often save some of the best swarms, as \ swarm of bees will not wait until you come to town and get a hive eady. The earliest swarms are usually the argest and the season when these I fast swarms come is about at the J 1 Mother-To-Be, Read This?

The great majority of the accounts are kept in perfect order and there are subscribers who have been taking the paper for over twenty years and there has never been an error found or claimed to have been found in the keeping of the records of their subscriptions. On the other hand, now and 'hen, a mistake has crept in by reason of the transposition of a letter or a figure so that a bill might be sent for renewal when there was no renewal due. As the Law stands now the postal regulations require names to be dropped off when they are not renewed after a certain time. The Herald now as always, tries to follow these regulations to the letter. It is the only way that is fair to both the subscriber and the paper. We are eorry to say that in a few instances The Hnvnlrl in"!!?<? ~ l'? >av>?iv< 11 ti11111^ t/ici iv uua cut till lilt? name when it should not have been cut off. In all such cases The Herald takes the word of the subscriber without any question whatever, and it always makes up to him for any time that has b?en lost in receiving* the pea-1 per. The Herald has always had this plan of taking the word of the subscriber, without any argument or question whatever, ever since it has been run under its present management; and for the reason that a subscriber has but his own accounts to keep up with while The Herald has to keep up with many, and therefore | may be more liable to error and mistake. The purpose of this article is to lead up the statement that we want I each and every subscriber who finds j a mistake has been made, to feel perfectly free to write to the editor about it. No questions will be asked but the error will be corrected in all resnects as claimed. This is tl-ip nnlv way that we feel is right under the circumstances as above explained. And to those whose accounts may have been kept wrong, we want to say that we want to express our regrets, and assure them that we intend to see that it is not repeated. If there is a mistake tell us about it and we will appreciate it and correct it and try to do better. In the meantime, let us repeat that we intend to make the paper better and better and more and more a pleasure for all those who take it to read it. VELVET BEANS * AND ABORTION Clemson College.?There are many people in South Carolina who firmly believe that the feeding of velvet beans to pregnant sows will cause them to abort. The Animal Husbandry Division at Clemson College recently fed preg Hani, sows on veivet Dean meal, using 75 per cent velvet bean meal and 25 per cent corn meal. With this large percentage of the ration velvet bean meal there was not a single sow that aborted. It is true that many of Ihc but this is likely to be true as a repigs farrowed were weak and small, suit of any unbalanced ration. "I do not believe that any single plant will furnish a satisfactory ration for livestock," says Prof. L. V. Starkey, Chief of the Animal Husbandry Division, in discussing the matter. "Experiments at the Wisconsin Station with wheat as the sole grain ration for dairy cows gave even more unsatisfactory results than velvet beans alone has given with swine. "During my recent visit to T. C. Moss' farm, at St.Matthews, S. C., the question of velvet beans came up. Mr. Moss stated that the chief difficulty with velvet beans was that when the sows were turned on corn and velvet bean fields, they ate nothing but com as long as the corn lasted and after that they ate nothing but velvet beans. Thus during the first part of the gestation period the sows received an unbalanced ration, one which was too high in carbohydrates; and during the last part of the gestation period they received an unbalanced ration, velvet beans alone, a ration which was too high in protein. "It is Mr. Moss' idea that corn should be gathered, after which sows may be pastured on velvet beans and a limited corn ration fed. "I believe that the velvet bean is - 1 1 ?

I am learning fast. I have learned to subtract and I can work long division. Our teachers are Miss Woodley and Miss Lewis. I don't think they can be beat. They are so kind you can't help loving them, and I don't try. They are just as kind to us as a mother. I am enjoying the night school fine. We had an egg supper and I enjoyed it fine. If anyone missed getting an egg it was his fault. The teachers were very nice to us all. They passed the eggs around. When I was a boy I did not have the opportunity to go to school as children do now. I am so glad that our Government is looking out for we boys and people that don't know how to attend to our business. Some people will learn to read about the One who died for us all. I hope that God will be with Miss Gray in all her campaigns. It seems so nice to know how to do our ov-n figuring. Above all we want to thank our God for these blessings. I remain, Yours truly, C.
