The scent of fertilizers mingles Vith other harbingers of spring. We see by the papers that the Tar Heel State is being given credit for another distinguished South Carolin ian. An Associated Press photo of Daniel C. Roper, secretary of com merce in the Roosevelt cabinet, lists North Carolina as his native State. Not even Atlanta had the effrontery to claim that he i s a Georgian. Nobody’s Business • By Gee McGee. And Then I Went to W'orh. After I got too big to go to fcchoo! I landed a job as assistant depot agent at a semitfag station in a little town about the size of your double fists. I had reached the 8th grade in school and that was plenty education for a hayseed like me, srr that' s why I decided to slow down 6n intellectual effort. My teacher taught me lots <f things in school, but 1 was so dumb I didn’t learn much. I could spell fad- ly well, read to some extent, do a lit tle cyphering if you’d keep me out of fractions, and was ju-t getting ready for Latin when that 5-dollar-a- month and hoard job showed up, and ] made a dive for it and got it. My dutie^ were as follows: run ning the depot, post office, weighing cotton, trucking freight, meeting two tiains every day, selling 2 or 3 tick ets a week, picking cotton when rail- yoad work got dull, helping to do “turns’’ at the hou*e, and attending prayer-meetings wherever one was held within 10 or 15 mile< of our place. We boys were strong for prayer-meetings—where we’d usually cut up too much. The population of this station was 23 till the Mitchells moved away, and then it fell to 11. When that family left, our school was almost broke up. We had a 1-teacher school with a house full cf Ixiys and girls. He got $25 per month, that is, he was promised that. It was stylish to whip disobedient pupils back there. Our town consisted of one store, 1 guano house, 1 church, 1 depot, 1 preac her, and 6 whitt!ers. We had the champion whittler of the world * n that town. YmTy^seen whittlers that would whittle little things like tooth picks, watch-charms^ walking sticks, etc., but B b Botkins was not that kind of a whittler. He whittled with a vim. It took 2 or 3 good-sized white pine dry goods boxes to keep him in material for 1 hour. \ Bob whittled like he was fighting fire ail the time.. Some of hi s shav ings were two feet in lengthu” I have seen him practically buried ip his own shavings many a-time. Once, his pile of shavings caught on fire and he almost got burnt to death before he was pulled away. He whittled on his way to town, and he whittled while in town, and he whittled on the •way back home. He alway s carried several boards home with him so’s he could whittle till he got back. We had many other interesting men there, none of whom ever worked. Elbert Jones always kept his arm broke or something. Sam Green had somebody trying to get something out of hi s eye all of the time. Bert Keener told us Civil_War stories. We checked up on him once: the war last ed 24 years and he was in 497 differ ent battles, but he never got a scratch. Nothing ever happened in this town while I was there 3 years except the school house burnt down.

KxampkH of Better Methods That Bring Surer Success. Bennettsville, March 16. — News was received here late last night of the death of W. T. Aycock, near Union. Mr. Aycock wa s one of Ben- nettsville’s most progressive mer chants, operating a store heie and one at Clio. He left Bennettsville Wed nesday momintrto go to Union to Icolc after matter** in Union County. Mr. Aycock was well known through the State. He came to Benne’lSVlll ’ fr m Barnwell and took an active part in fraternal societies and in politics. He was the Democratic committee from this county. Funeral service* will be conducted Friday morning at 11 o’clock at Fos ter’s Chapel in Union County. Many from Bennettsville are preparing to go to attend and arrangements have been made for all of hi 9 employees to he at the funeral. Clemson College, March 11.—That poultrymen who adeg’t progressive ideas and methods are rewarded with better success apd bigger profits may he seen from instances from Aiken Beaufort, Saluda and Oconee, typical of hundreds of other instance* over the State. The value of properly housing and feeding the farm poultiy flock was well shown in the case of Dr. M. J. ' yua:teibaum, of Aiken, who had on his faim ar und 100 hens, ordinary mixed breed, say* Thomas W\ Mor gan. Aiken County agent. Crowded in a small drafty house and without a balanced feed, these hens were lay ing 5 to 10 eggs per day. A new house was built of approved plans and these hens put in the house and on a home-mixed laying mash and corn.] In a little over two weeks these same hen s had stepped up to 60 to 70 eggs per day. The laying mash was mixed at home, ui-ing 20U pounds of yellow* corn meal, 200 pounds of bran and shorts, 100 pound* of fish meal, ami five pounds of salt. - -Thisma«h- -A* costing around $1.25 per hundred pounds, and after a month on it, these hens are laying 75 to 80 egg* per day. Mrs. B. J. Verdier, cf Pritchard- ville had been attempting each year to raise baby chicks in/small coops, warmed by kerosene lamps. This winter she agreed with T. H. Sea- brook, Beaufort County agent, that >he- jusedetl--a-Jirick brooder, ami con verted a small w.ioff house 10 by 10 feet into a brooder house, and from material on the farm constructed a brooder. Three stovepipe joints and dampers for flues cost 65 cents. Mrs. Verdier with this brooder has kept the temperature uniform and lost on ly three per cent of her chicks, last year she lest over 50 .per cent. Early broilers are beginning to move in volume from Saluda, says Claude Rotthell, county agent, and the county will probably market 50,- 000 pounds during the season with no unusual marketing difficulties since the Saluda product is well established j on nearby markets. j Last month, five carloads of poul- J try netted 1,233 Otonee farmers $7,- 164.85, 2Vss cents per pound more than farmers could have obtained cn local or nearby markets—assuming that such markets could have absorb ed this amount of poultry, which is not likely. Therefore, through coop erative marketing Oconee farmers re ceived approximately $1,900 more than they would have otherwise re alized, G. H. Griffin, Oconee agent points oat.
