her how to can sr<mlen peas. Several
different vegetables were canned that
particular day, and the^cAwier ..and
hand sealer left with the.UamUy to
try out for several days. In about a
month’s time the family had bought
a steam pressure cannw, a Burpee
sealer, and were canning for sale.
By September the family had canned
and sold 1910 can-s of vegetables to
■ local anrt city merchants.
More vegetables and fruits are be
ing canned, and less jams jellies and
pickles.
Health (’onteat.
A health and health improvement
contest has been held for dub girla.
Food and health habits of girls were
scored for eight weeks and the one
in each contest- making tho highest
score was selected to represent the
county at the State Short Course.
"Eating of more vegetables, fruits and
milk was reported aivl an improve-
jnent in health habits in general. The
-
winner in the county contest in health
improvement was also winner in the
district contest and the State contest.
Muriel Norris, this winner, gained 11
pound’s in weight, improved her pos
ture, had dental defects corrected and
formed many good health habits by
foil owing health rules.
One club member decided she want
ed to reduce and asked the assistance
of the agent. A diet list and a set
of exercises wcr e furnished her and
to each meeting the scales were car
ried. At the end of five months she
had lost 20 pounds and her friends
were so much interested, that they
too wanted to follow her plan. The
agent wa s called on for three more
lists. At the same time she was re
ducing her weight, she was studying
child feeding in order to feed the
baby properly f ;r gain in weight.
National Music Week was observed
in one community. The Home Demon
stration Club members arranged for
the meeting while the xigent secured
the services of the music club in one
of the town* for theT program.
A garden-rally in connection with
the spring meeting of the Farm
Women’s Council was held. Many
vrdtorS from the town and all parts
of the county attended and expressed
an appreciation of the splendid dis
play of flowers and vegetables. The
demonstrations in artistic flowers ar-
ranjMtmcnt and grading of vegeta-
^bles for market wc»jp discussed far
and near. A fall meeting of the Farm
Women’s Council was held and a
Health Program carried out. Every
community except one was Tepresent-
ed.
Improve Court House (grounds.
Through the efforts of the Clerk of
Uouil. a few int rested town women,
apd the : gent, work on the court
•house grounds W!:'- started. Until
November, 1929, the ground space
as a sale yard where mules, horses, ol
Fords, farm impleryents, etc., were
•Bold every month for taxes' and
other debts. The scene on “Sdes.’ay”
wa s very offensive t<> all who had any
■civic pr de, but no one had assumed
the responsibility of trying to make
a change. But the .opportunity af-
/orded when Mr. Mulford, Horticul
ture t from Washington, made his
second visit to the. county to check
«P on work previously planned. Mr.
Mulford drew some plans for improv
ing the grounds and then the approval
■•ef the county board of directors w;as
sought. The sales yard was moved to
th e rear of the building and grading
and paving done. Later gras-: was
set and plants placed. One year’s
growth doesn’t make a big show, but
the entire contrast between the ap
pearance of the ecurt house in the
fall of 1929 and 1930 Is marked.
Ouring the yi‘ar Miss McNab held
166 meetings with an attendance of
2,348, in addition to visiting 439 dif

Lots of Sick People.
Representative R. C. Holman, of
Barnwell County, has proposed a
measure in the house pioviding for
the legal sale of “medical” whiskey.
Newspaper stories about tho - bill
quote Mr. Holman as saying that
the State would derive a million dol
lar* a year revenue fiom the law if
enacted. He leasons thus; HS^ould
charge a fee of 50c on every prescrip
tion Idled for medical whiskey, ahtf
charge a license of $100 for 4 every con
cern filling such prescriptions.
Now let’s see. Suppose 1,000 con
cern' were licensed to fill prescrip
tions. We can hardly see why that
many should be .required, but just sup
pose so. That would be $100,000 in
lieense fees.
That leaves $900,000 a year yet fo
1h- accounted fcr. • At 50c aiece,. it
would require 1,800,000 prescriptions
to equal the balance of the revenue
estimated to accrue frun the medical
liquor law.
.That means that Mr. Holman is ex
pecting a very unusual amount of
sickness in the State.—Bamberg

efficient staffs of expert bank examiners
in every section he has tho duty and

the depositors if suclt*action is war

are chartered by the various state gov

officials. In addition banks in many
places have long maintained voluntary
