Thursday, March 15, 1928 McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMI(JK., South Gurolxua Page Number Two McCORMICK HIGH SCHOOL PAGE PLAY TO BE PRESENTED AT McCORMICK THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 15TH. Really you can’t afford to miss seeing “Come Out of the Kitchen,” the play to be presented at McCor mick High School Thursday evening, at 8 o’clock. Undoubtedly it is one of the best entertainments that will be in McCormick this year. The play itself is very clever. There is just enough humor! just enough pathos, and just enbugh love to carry it straight to your heart. Do you know any match making mother? The Mrs. Faulkner of the play is a perfect example. Have you ever chuckled over the sight of an old bachelor smitten with the charms of a pretty girl? Poor Mrs. Tucker suffers from the pangs of love. Are you fond of pepper and ginger? You’ll be fond of Bess. Like wit and humor? You’ll like Charlie. Before the play is half over you’ll agree with Olivia that Paul is a dar ling. Dor you remember your old, colored mammy? Mandy’s love for her “LPl /Wttute Lady Baby” and her red stockings are symbolical of her tribe. Were you ever perfectly crazy ■ibout a girl and she didn’t love you ? ^hen you’ll sympathize with Randy Week'. True love never run' smoothly. Neither does Leffert’s anc Co:a’s. Is there a bit of Irish per haps in one corner cf ve heart? Then you’ll love Jomi-Ellen. EJ^ you dream of dashing heroes or of being one? Burton Crane is that charming that if you’re fememne, you’ll envy the heroine; and if you’re masculine you’ll jot down notes on your cuf: as to how he does it. The songs, the steps, the costumes of the chorus are all new and at tractive. The cast and choruses are fortunate in having Miss Harris to direct costuming. Miss Ramsey has excellent judgment and a sure sense of how to secure proper stage ef fects. With her “all star” cast she has produced a play you simply mus haa alternate. SOPHIA DILLASHAW.

PIPKIN, Proprietor ‘ ’Phone No. 42 McCormick, S. C. NEK DEVELOPMENT THE four-cylinder engine in the new Ford represents a new develop ment in modern automobile engineer ing. It is unique in design and per formance because it develops 40- brake-horse-power at only 2200 revo lutions per minute. THIS means you can do 55 to 65 miles an hour in the new Ford and yet you do not have a high-speed motor. THE low r. p. m., or revolution speed, also means greater efficiency * and longer life because the lower the speed of your engine, the less the wear on its parts. AUTHORIZED FORD, FORDSON AND LINCOLN DEALERS. McCORMICK, S. C. C- M. T. C. OFFICER VISITS SCHOOL. Col. Fairfax, Commander of 323th Infantry, stationed at Greenville, vis ited the school and lectured to the boys who were eligible for C tizer. Military training. He explained the nature of the training, that it was an unusual op portunity for any boy. He also sta^d that the expenses were pa ; d by the government and further stated the | manner in which an applicaVor should be made. | This is an extra expense to the ■ government. However, they feel that this is a wise plan in that the boys j will be familiar with Military activ-1 ities in case war broke out again 1 which would enable them to be offi- 1 cers instead of privates. RAYMOND REMSEN [ EDDIE WIDEMAN. TOP-SOILING SCHOOL GROUND. The school grounds were very mud dy after each rain. And the pup : ls, brought lots of mud in the building I on their feet. This was doing dam age to the building and was endang ering the health of the children of the school. The P.-T. A. wishing to improve the grounds set aside the week of February 27, to March 3, for the purpose of leveling and top-s<5iling the grounds. The Agriculture boys brought four teams, and spent Thursday, March 1st, hauling top soil. Thirty-one loads of soil were hauled. This was spread on the walks and around the doors where it is necessary for the children to walk and line up for exercises or to march into the build'ng. Although a lot of improvement was madei. there is need for an additional hundred loads. The >oys of the agriculture class are planning to bring teams and spend another day in the same way. If enough teams can be secured the most of this greatly needed work can be finished. If we can get the topsoil on the yard the agriculture class will spread it.

WEDNESDAY’S EXTRA CURRICULA PERIOD DE VOTED TO SINGING. Each day of the week, the school grants fifteen minutes for singing. Every day except Wednesday and Thursday we have extra curricula period.

ANN COWAN, SUE LUDWICK. txt PLUM BRANCH SCHOOL NEWS The Excelsir Literary Society of Plum Branch School held its first meeting Friday afternoon, March 2 in the school auditorium. The program opened with the roll call, eveiy one answering with a famous quotation. The program was a study of Long fellow and his works. The Essay on “Longfellow the man,” by Virginia Strom was es pecially good. The “Village Black Smith,” was recited nicely by Geneva Ridlehoover. There were other reci- tat ons by Sarah Bracknell, Edward Hodgens and Neil Ridlehovoer. Farm Outlook In Brief Annie Mae Langley gave a help ful Essay on “Longfellow the poet,’ prices advance too far. CLEMSON COLLEGE, March 10. —“More than one crop” is surely be coming the trend among South Car olina farmers^ slowly in some sec tions, more rafiidly in others. In the Coastal Plains half of the state far mers are specializing in tobacco, as paragus, various truck crops, hogs, poultry, etc. In Piedmont territory, fruit crops, dairying, truck for local markets, poultry, feed crops, etc. are rece ving more attention. Hence the decided interest much more notice able than formerly, in pfossibilities and prospects regarding farm pro ducts other than cotton. To meet this interest “The Agri cultural Outlook for S. C. in 1928” was prepared by the Extension Ser vice. In greatly condensed state ment below are the principal views set forth in The Outlook. Hogs—The hog-corn rat e improv ing; may expect higher prices in 1928 and 1929, Sheep—Spring advanced in lamb prices not likely to be as marked as usual. Better grade of lambs should be produced. Wool—Prices likely to advance. Cattle—Beef cattle expected to bring good prices during next several years. May be difficult to buy feeders at reasonable price. Mules—Production falling below demand. Wise to replace now old mules with younger ones before SUBJECTS FOR U. D. C. ESSAY CONTEST. 1. For Grammar Grades: “The Life of a Southern Hero” or “The Life of a Southern Heroine.” 2. For Eighth and Ninth Grades: “Poetry of the Confederacy.” 3. For Tenth and Eleventh Grades: in which she discussed several of his longer poems. The program as a whole was very good. After the program, Mr. Wilkes, the Methodist preacher, gave a veiy in teresting talk on, “Learning to Mem orize.” We were very glad to have the vis itors, Minnie Pearle Strother, and Lillian Sanders; we also hope that they enjoyed the program a n d would be glad to have them visit again. The society will hold its regular meeting aga n, March 16, Friday evening. The program is to be a humorous one, then let us hope every one will be prepared to laugh. SUDIE NEW, Reporter. X Dairying—(Since South Carolina imports $10,000,000 woith of dairy products yearly, expansion in dairy ing is advisable if necessary feed crops are grown. With fewer milk cows than farms in the state there is need to increase home dairying to meet table demands and reduce gio- cery bills. Poultry—Since South Carolina im ports much poultry and eggs still, there is ample opportunity for pro fitable poultry expans ; on. E "’dent production practices and atteifon to local storage facilities for eg -3 are needed. duction except for those who get good yields of good quality. Corn—Profitable production de pends on increased yields per acre at lower cost per bushel. Grow for home needs. Substitute oats where oats can be grown at lower cost per feed unit. Small Grain—Grow sufficient for home needs; strive for economic yields. Apples—Can be planted on com mercial scale in northwestern part, of state; for local needs only else where. Peaches—Unwise to plant more commercial orchards. Southeastern states now overplanted with trees. Grapes—Should be planted only* for local and nearby markets. Strawberries—Outlook fair for Carolinas and other second-early states. Irish Potatoes—Estimated 15 peri cent acreage increase. Price pros pects not good. Cabbage—Spring cabbage price outlook fairly good. Cantaloupes—Prices not likely to be sat : sfactory with piesent acreage unless quality improved. Watermelons—For melons of im proved quality on present acreage prices should be satisfactory if only melons of 24 pounds or over are shipped. Sweet Potatoes—Prices, with pres ent acreage, not likely to be satis factory unless larger per centage of No. 1 potatoes is produced and prop er storage methods used. DR. HENRY J.
