THURSDAY, JANUARY 3, 1929. S c ience and the Farmer. Science is perhaps the greatest help of the farmer. One out of five promi nent scientists in America, Secretary of Agriculture Jardine points out, are engaged in work of an agricultural- chemical nature. As the result of the extensive selen itic agriculture work going on, the ceritage of tuberculous cattle has fbeen reduced from 4 to 2 in the last decade. Hog cholera is no longer a check to hog production) Tick-infestedj cat tle in the South are being reduced in number. Animal parasites have been greatly redu ed in number. Plant research of scientists has saved jmmenae sums to farmers. Many new plants from other countries have been introduced. New plant disesases aie guarded against. Bud selection in the citm* industry has saved the growers of California several million dollars. The above are only a few of the great achievements of science in rela tion to agriculture. Reading the newa, it seems that a great percent age of the new inventions and discov eries have to do with the farm. Scientists seem interested in the agrikultural problems of the nation more than in almost anything else. That is rot surprising, agriculture being the great industry that it is. The surprising thing is that being avich a great industry, ar d drawing the attention of the leading scientific minda of this era. it han been unable to obtain action creating a favorable plan of distribution ami marketing of its products. With a Bang for Second Time 0 in Two Yearn. “One-Eye" Connolly. “One-Eye” Connolly’s nam«* has be come a by-worti. He is the gate craaher par excellence. He haa always got into everything fra*—everything from a first-night theatrical performance to a fisti? heavyweight battle. No guards could ever keep him out. Ha had a thousand clever methods. He was expected at all public func- tione, though nobody ever inviteed him. He got in—nobody knew how. He never accepted or Imught a ticket for anything. The other day he attracted a crowd in Brooklyn, New York, and was found guilty of obstructing traffic. He was put into a cell for a brief time, •nd tearfully complained that his im prisonment was the ruination of his professional career. We don’t see why this happening should spoil his career. True enough, he was conducted to his cell in a formal manner. He Blackville, Dec. 31.—Despite the depressing conditions, the Goodfel- low’s Club at Blackville went over with a bang for the second time in the past two years. The Club was or ganized for the first time in 1927. Even though it was considered a com plete success last year, the contribu tions and enthusiasm this year far surpassed that of last year. The goods were assembled and packed into thirty bushel baskets by a band of willing workers. Each bask et contained meat, flour, lard, salmon, sugar, grits, potatoes, coffee, rice, syrup, raisins, candy, oranges, apples, and tobacco. Some also had clothing. Volunteers delivered these thirty baskets to thirty families on Christ mas Eve. Estimating six to each family, there were one hundred and eitfkty people provided with Christ mas dinners. The officers for this year were: Mrs. A. H. Ninestein, pres.; H. A. Rich, vice-pres.; Mrs. H. H. Crum, scy.; Mrs. H. Brown, treas.; and A. H. Ninestein wa< chosen as general chairman. The town was divided into four ward® with sub-chairmen for each ward as follows: Mrs. S. G. Lowe, W. W. Moloney, Miss Blanche Matthews, and Miss Eve Blume. The cash contributions were $76.27, and provisions donated were valued at well over fifty dollars. The officers of the club are deeply grateful to the liberal contributors and enthusiastic workers for the noble assistance rendered in making the G(>odfellow* Club a success.
