For the pa-t two week s the Junior class has been studying journalism. Hilda Martin and Lois Sander!?, mem bers of the das?, have written the following news stories which give pupils’ opinions of a now practice in this high school and a subject which ha s been taught since the school was established: Activity Period in Barr.well High ' School. The thirty minutes U'ed for activi ty period in the Barnwell High School is valuable to every pupil. The word activity is indeed a suitable word to use in "describing this activity as the dictionaiy defines it, is energy cr the state‘of motion—motion as cp posite from idleness. It is energy used- beneficially. Everyone i s active—Uachers and pu pils are included. The teacher is a guiding force. She sce^ that her room i s a ‘bee hive” am that everyone is not only working but also is being interested. The pupil spends this thirty minutes getting acquainted with his teachers and school mates. Thiough associa tions h e becomes self-conscious, learns to u-e his spare time advantag eously, and to regard the rights of others. Every pupil has a part and he sees that it is cairied out to the best of his ability. This avtivity period is a worth while one for all the smaller schools, because it gives the pupil a chance to do what h e can and likes to do and it also gives the awkward ones train ing. If he does not derive any bene fits from it, it is hi s own fault. Why Stick to Unprofitable Crops? Diversify and Plant “It Stays Green” CUCUMBER $4757 Lattin Not Dead as Commorjy Supposed. That Latin is not an unimportant language was revealed through an" interview with a Latin teacher. Latin is not a dead language for it is absorbed in all modern languages. It teaches pupils to think, to spell, and how to improv e their sentence structure in English. The basis of our own language is Latin. In studying Latin one must learn Roman History which has a direct in fluence upon America. The old Roman classics have an influence on English literature. Read these voluntary letters from Satisfied Kirby Planters “We take pleasure in advising that we have planted ycur Kirby Cucumber fer the past eight year-. We always find this cucumber the best by far in earliness, dark green color, yield and in fact the best in every respect. W? sell, as you know, about 3,000 lb*, of Kilby here annually, which is about .80 per cent, of the cucumbers planted arcund Williston. (Signed) Mixson & Newsom, • / by J. G. Newsom. Oct. 27, 1931.

As Monday was George Washing ton 4 ? birthday, the pupils were given half-holiday^— Misses Jewel Gross, Mary Ann Cravens and Jennie Black, students ( of Winthrop College, were visitors at j school on Monday. Lets of people still keep asking me .what HOPOCATRUC* means and one very pretty young !ady in Beaufort asked me the ether day if I wasn’t the one who writes the Hypocrite column. Ju-t for fun, I’ll change it to the “Sights for Sore Eyes” column this week, because I’ve seen plenty cf Them th:s 4 "Wintt , r, SS-'heM goer. I saw aboUj 80 fine pigs -on Mr. William Keyserling^’s farm on St. Helena Island la:t week, grazing down a crop of austrian winter pea3 and seemingly thriving on them. Several years ago Mr. Keyserling didn’t think in term of pigs at all. My hat’s eff to Mr. Seabrook, the County Agent*.fer that. v And then too, how many of you ever saw a real honest to goodness wheatfield in Coastal South Carolina? Mr. Charles Davis ha? a real one down on Wadmalaw, and he’s starting a real chicken farm too. Did you know that nearly a thous and acres of South Carolina farm land is planted to >narci=sus, gladi olus, amaryllis, jonquil and iris bulbs? The biggest planting of nar cissus is at the Kress Plantation near Yemassee. - _ And when you pass by the Clem- §on Experiment Station at Drainland, take a lock at the fine herd of Angus cattle. Really, ^the herd is well worth traveling miles to see. Can you bu/ a purebred bull? Yes, and almost at beef prices, too. Mr. Ky- zer, the uperintendent told me the other day that h e would have a few heifers to sell this spring.also. When you think cf what that soil was before they turned it into a per manent pasture, you wender why mere people in Scuth .Carolina haven’t gone in for pastures and cattle rais ing. Mr. Rufe Lott, South Carolina’?.as paragus king, the man who has pro duced 125 crates of “grass” per acre for the past four years, is al ways on time with his soil prepara tion. I passed hi? place last week and everything looked in tip top shape. Some asparagus growers haven’t .plowed down even at this late date. What?amattei, old timers, spring has already come around that copper they have been talking^about for so long a Time. Was glad to read about all those pine seedlings that the State forestry department had put out recently. For pity sakes folks, lets keep the fires out of all our woods from now on.' A forest of young pine which has been properly cared for is certainly a sight for sore eyes at this time and just a littl later in the spring. Have you seen the Summerland Creamery’s cream truck on its route in seme of our low country conties? Truly we all hope for the day when this good old State can supply its own needs in butter. You ought 1 to visit one of the cream stations on collection day and have a talk with these Sum merland folks—they’re great boost ers for S. C. Butter. • And Summerville — the Flower Town in the Pines—is truly a flower town. I say it’s the prettiest town in the whole United States in the spring. Haven’t seen it this season, but will do so this week-end. Shall I 1 meet you there? And don’t forget Magnolia and Middleton Place Gardens, Belle Isle Cpyress Gardens.

One farmer brought in wagon loads to Williston, the value of which was equal to about three bale? of cotton. Loading was good at Blackville until noon on Thursday. Sixty-four farmers sold $414 worths It was necessary to close the car at one o'clock aa the railroad moved it Perry on yioc«t~fieight which wax waiting until that time. There were several that were inconvenienced by this but it could not be helped as the- schedules of train^ did not permit the- car staying longer. During the past two weeks about 26,000 pounds cf poultry have been- sold by the fanners, bringing them about $3,400. Other poultry Sched ules will be planned for a* soon as there appears 4o be a need. There appears to b e a number off farmers interested in planting carpet grass and le-pedeza. All those de siring assistance in buying seed should advi?e with the county agent. Don’t forget te get at least a small amount of good yellow seed corn to get started this year.—By H. G..
