ducted the demonstration. Terraces
were laid off and built. They were of
the broad base type. About a dozen
farmers from over the county were

terraces should be built.
One of the means of reducing cost
of production of farm crops is by us
ing improved farm implements and
machinery. We must begin to use the
two-horse cultivator ahd tractor. Not
a large percentage of farmers can
purchase tractors, but every farmer
cultivating a two-horse farm or more
should have one or more two-horse
cultivators. v

ERROR IN CLINIC TAKES
SIGHT OF 40 CHILDREN
no doubt will be followed with much
interest by many farmers.
In connection with the use of bet
ter machinery for farming, an im
portant lesson may be gotten from
the following:
To a Man and His Mule.
Place: Anywhere in S. C.
Time: Anytime.
Over the hill trailed a man behind
a mule drawing a Dixie plow. The
clodhopper was ‘‘broadcasting.” ‘‘Bill,
yqu are a mule, a son of a jackass,
and I am a man made in the image of
God. Yet, here we work hitched to
gether, year in and year out. I often
wonder if you work for me or I work
for you. Sometimes I think this is a
partnership between a mule and a
fool. For surely I work harder than
you do. Plowing here, we cover the
same distance, but you do it on four
legs and Pon two. So, mathematically
speaking, I do twice as much work
per leg as you do.
“Soon we'U be preparing for a corn
crop. When the com is harvested I
give one-third to the landlord for be
ing kind enough to let me use this
corner of God's universe. Another
goes to you, and what is left after the
weevils and mice have had their share
goes to me. But while you consume
all of yours except a few cobs, I ^livide
mine among seven children, six hens,
two ducks and the bank. Bill, darn
you, you are getting the best of me;
it ain't fair for a mule, the son of a
jackass, to rob a man, the Lord of
creation, of his substance. And, come
to think of it, you only help to culti
vate the ground. While me and the
family is hard at work pulling fodder
for you on a hot August day, you are
over there in the pasture giving us the
hee-haw.
“All fall and part of the winter, the
whole family, from granny on down to
the baby, pick cotton to help raise
money to buy your harness and pay
the interest on the mortgage on you,
and anyway what do you care about
mortgages? It doesn’t worry you
any—not a dam bit. You leave that
to me, you ungrateful, onery cuss.”—
Adapted from an article in the Rice
Journal by J. T. McAllister, Clemson
College, S. C.—Prepared by H. G.
Boylston, County Agent.
Wonder if Marion Talley will have
to do a little singing this winter to
raise next spring’s fertilizer money.
Athens, January 15.—Forty school
children were made blind for life to
day through a scientific £rror.
The children had gone to the eye
hospital at Kesaron near here to have
their sight tested.
Attendants sprayed their eyes with
a liquid.
The liquid proved to be a cauteriz
ing fluid. The shrieks of the blinded
children brought doctors on the run,
but nothing could be done to save the
victims’ vision.
The tragedy was attributed to the
fact that the children were taken into
the wrong room at the hospital, where
other patients had been treated for
various . infectious diseases of the
eyes. The attendants were not/amil-
iar with the liquids there.
The attitude of the Athens popu
lace became so menacing after the
mishap that the minister of health
ordered the trial of all oculists work
ing at the hospital clinic.
An improved method of transmit
ting electricity long distances with
out leakage of current is announced
by German engineers.
Progress in solving the problem of
sending natural color talking pic
tures by television is reported.
Our private statistician estimates
that more Bibles were bought and
fewer read than usual during 1929.

Treat Colds Direct
Jtouiid-Abort Method tl ^Dodag”
Gives Way To Modern
Vaporizing Salve •
More and more people each year
are giving up the slow, indirect^ way
of treating colds by “dosing” with
internal medicines, and are adopt-/
ing the modern direct treatment—
Vicks VapoRub. /
Vicks goes direct to the affected
parts and checks the cold in two
ways — its medicated vapors, re
leased by the heat of the body, are
inhaled direct to the inflamed air-
passages; at the same time it acts
direct through the skin like a poul
tice or plaster, “drawing out” tight
ness and soreness.
Vicks is especially appreciated by
mothers because it is just rubbed
on, and therefore, cannot upset
children’s delicate stomachs as “dos
ing” is so apt to do. Today the whole
trend of medical practice is away
from needless “dosing.''
To keep pace with the ever-grow
ing demand, the famous slogan, “17
Million Jars Used Yearly,” was
raised to “21 KOHon” a short time
ago. This figure too has been out
grown, as there a
