letter Lubrication V,
for a Longer Time
In his engine laboratory, a
large truck manufacturer made
a fifty-hour test to compare
‘'Standard” Motor Oil with
other oils under the same
operating conditions.
“Standard” Motor Oil not only
showed 5 per cent greater
initial speed, but maintained
this speed during the test.
With the other motor oils, the
number of revolutions per
minute at the end of the fifty
hours was only half as great as
at the beginning. This shows
why in a modern, high speed
motor “Standard” Motor Oil
can be depended upon to pro
vide a greater margin of safety.

High Taxes Will Bring
Inevitable Reaction
President Coolidgc’s recent warn
ing against gctyernr.cntal extravag
ance strikes ab’y at one of the most
important problems we have to con-
si's-'r. Where, over a four-year per
iod from 1921 to 1925 the cost of
Federal government was reduced $2.-
000,000,000, th's saving was more
than o'fset by an increase of $3'500,-
000,000 ; n the cost cf local govern
ments. Since that time other in
creases have been recorded.
This mounting cost of local gov
ernments is a definite menace to our
prosperity. A long period of good
times has been to an extent respon
sible for c'ur overlooking the conse
quences. But, as President Coolidge
says: “Already the adverse effects
of the great increase in such ex
penditures, with the corresponding
:iise in their taxes are being felt.
With much capital in the country,
new investments are showing a tend
ency to be insufficient to furn'sh as
good a market as we could wish for
labor. While no serious unemploy
ment exists, and the trend of wages
is still advancing, if all the money
that can be made in employing labor
is going to be taken away in local
taxes, old and establ'shed industries
will attempt to struggle along, but
new enterprise is not going to be un
dertaken.”
Unles s steps are taken to remedy
the matter the inevitable reaction
must set in. Governmental extrav
agance and high taxes can itesult on
ly in business depression. Local gov
ernments must emulate the example
of the Federal government and
practice scientific, progressive econ
omy. ,

SUMTER, August 1.—The annual
“Poultry Farmers Field Day” cf the
South Caiolina Poultry Breeders As
sociation will be held here Wednes
day August 22, according to an
nouncement made today by J. J.
Whilden, of Sumter, president of the
association.
This will be th^ third event of this
kind to be held in South Carolina.
The first “Poultry Farmers Field
Day” was held at McCormick in July
of 1926 and was attended by more
than 600 men and women interest'd
in the development of the poultry
industry. Last year the association
held its annual “F.eld Day” at Clem-
son Coli'ge in connection with “Far
mers WJeek.” This meeting drew at
tendance from every section of the
state.
Mr. Whilden, who is widely known:
throughout the United States in
poultry circles, has been working o.i
plans for the annual gathering for-
several weeks. He stated today 1 that,
he expected the attendance this year
to exceed all previous meetings du3
to the growing interest in South Car
olina in poultry work.
The South Ca/olina Poultry Breed
ers Associatic'n was organized twelve-
years ago. The organization has held
a show in connect.on with the State
Fair at Columbia every year since it
was formed. During that time the
number of specimens entered has
steadily increased, while the quality
is said to equal that of any exhibi
tion in the country. The organization
has taken an interest in the ship
ping of market poultry and the of
ficers and members feel gratified at
the uapid development of this phase
of the work. Another feature to ate
tract a great deal of attention is
that of the baby chick industry in
this state. A number of large hatch
eries have developed and today the
baby chick business in South Car
olina runs into the hundreds of thou
sands of dollars.

Although alslke clover is used very
little for ensilage, good silage can b
made from it either alcne, with corn,
or some grass crop. The secret o
success lies in thorough packing. One
more man is usually required fo 1
tramping than is necessary in ensil
ing corn. Alsike should be put into
the silo fresh and moist, if it gets
dry between the t;me of being cu’
and put into the silo, wat« r should
be added. The formation of air poek
ets should be avoided or spoiling wil
result.

The Chinchilla rabbi J introduced
into this country only ten years ago,
inis ga.ntd rapidly in popularity and
oas be.'.’ persistently promoted, par-
icula ly for _ts : ur value. According
_ () ti le u. S Department of Agr.cul
tuie, the Chinchilla offers unusua
possibilities to persons who will do
vclip its good qualities. Effort
should be made to inci'ase the s.i«.c
of the b:ecd and to improve the
color and texture of the fur, as the
future of the Chirchllla depends
scj ly upon its value as a food and
fur producer. These rabbits should
be bred only three times a year, in
stead of four °r five a s is the gen
eral practice and should bp allowed
to raise only four or five young in
a litter.
Each of us buys, theoretically at
least, three pairs of shoes a year.
This means some 350(000,000 pairs
annually. Half of the hides and
skins that go to make leather for
th :se shoes a:*e imported, principallv
from As a, South America, and Af
rica, where people do not wear shces
so much. The United States is not
self-supporting in the matter of
leather and b ather goods, a nd in case
of war the chances are that many
cf us would have to go without shoe',
if imports of raw materials w T ere in
terrupted. The U. S. Department
of Agricutui'e believes that our de
pendence upon foreign supplies can
be very greatly reduced through bet
ter practices -in the- domestic pro
duction of i'athor-making raw ma
terials, through more judicious or
common-sense selections by the pub
lic of leather g:ods, and finally
through pre'per ca^le of such leather
goods; with elimination of their abuse
and misuse. The hide, leather, and
tanning investigations carried on by
the department all aim at conserva
tion along these lines. Each year
millions of dollars are lost in this
country in hides and skins, much of
wilich can be prevented by the ap
plication of correct methods of prep--
aiation and marketing, which w’ovrid'
result in making available to the
tanner not only more hides and skim
but better or^s, from which in turn
wculd result more and better leather.

The collcct'on and destruction of
peach “drops” is an aid in preventing
the development cf the adult plum
curculio, the most serious insect pest
attacking the peach and one which is
esp' ciaily abundant in the Southern
States. Thc.'e are often two genera
tions c f ihe curculio, the second-
brcod adults emerging from the soil
in August. Most of the small peach
es that are punctured early in the
sersen by the curculio fall to the
grounc’j and the collection of these
drops will get about 90 per cent
of the worms that fall to the ground
during the season and will also leave
fewer beetles in the orchard after
harvest to hibernate and attack the
crop the succeeding year. All drops
shoulel ^either be buried in a trench
and covered with quick lime before
the soil is filled in, or they should be
submerged in boiling water.
