Independent Electors
—
(From The Greenville News.)
The announcement of Mr. Hamp
ton Smith, of Greenville, as a candid
ate for “independent” presidential
elector in South Carolina, suggests
thought as to the possibility of re-
turni. g to original style of choosing
p:es ; dents as conceived by the fram
ers of the constitution.
Mr. Smith does not say for whom
he would vete for the presidency if
he were chosen an elector, except
that it would have to be someboly
pledged to support the present laws
on prohibition. Otherw'ise the voters
would be expected to accept his judg
ment as to who should be the oc
cupant cf the \Yhite House.
South Carolina, of course, and oth
er states too, might very eas’Ty fol
low that plan of electing a president,
if it wished. As many citizens as
felt the urge could announce them
selves as electorial candidates of the
“independent” kind. The votei’s
could, if they desired, simply elect
that they v/11 do it as seems to them
best. Their ambitious aim reaches
from the presidency down to the min
or offices, for they say that “from
constable to governor, from revenue
agent to president, officials must be
selected who believe in enforcement.”
There could hardly be a clearer case
of a church urged by its leaders to
go be*lily into politics.
The Methodist bishops of the Epis
copal Church South make a great
virtue of standing on the constitu
tion. The 18th amendment, now a
part of it, is the law qf the land,
and as such must be enforced, “ab
solutely Megardless of the cost.” It
will be noted that the bishops say
nothing about that other part of the
Democratic plank on law enforce
ment, wh'ch states that “all other
provisions of the federal constitu
tion” ought to be enforced. Will the
Souter n bishops undertake to make
a like heroic stand in calling for the
enforcement of the 14th and 15th
amendments, which woald plainly re
sult in cutting down the representa
tion df the Southern states :n the na
tional house of representatives ? It
is safe to say that they will not. On
that part of the law of the land
they will not do their moral thunder-
* 1
ing, for they know perfectly well j
that not even the smallest fraction of
their church ft’.lowing would give
heed tc them. When they declare
that they stand on the constitution
they 'evidently mean the parts of it
which they 1 ke. Their silence about

In making white bread the use of
whole or skim milk to supplement
the proteins and minerals of wheat
fl(.j;< is strongly recommended by the
United States Department of Agri
culture. Since bread is a staple food
stuff, the use of milk in hr ad would
insure a better nourished population.
Dry skim milk may he used in
b: ead making with good results. In
addition to supplementing the nutri
tive value it improves the general
appeara.-cn of the bread loaf and en
hances its ease of manufacture
There are. however, certain differ
ences in flours and in their reaction
to skim miik in the dough which in
fluence the ease of bread manufac
ture and necessitate special attention
to certain stages of the process. In
order to determine what these dif
ferences in flours are and how they
affect the handling of bread made
with dried milk, a study was made
by the Bureau of Dairy Industry of
the United States Department of Ag
riculture.
It was found that the hard spring
wheat fleurs used in the experiments
reacted more favorably to the use of
dried skim milk than did winter
wheat flours. The range of ferment
ation time in which doughs give good
bread is increased by using skim
milk. This adds to the ease at manu
facture and is a very important prop
erty. The lactose of the milk im
parts a desirable golden-brown color
to the crust of the baked loaf. The
texture and color of the crumb are
also improved.

Any farm woman in South Caro
lina was eligible for selection as a
Master Farm Homemaker when
nominated by five 'of her neighbors.
The Farmer’s Wife then sent each
nominee a detailed questionaire con
taining over 500 questions, grouped
under, these five headings: physical
adequacy of the home, in 1 elation to
income-; management of time, en
ergy and income, health record and
living habits of the family; social
development, recreation, family re
lationships and child training; and
community wc*;k.
Final selection of the five women,
to be announced at the time of the
recognition, has been made by a
judging committee selected by Mrs.
J. Whitman Smith, Blshopville,
president of the S. C. Council of
Farm Wlomen and Miss Landrum.

August Garden Notes
Early August is not too late to
set tomato plants for the fall crop.
The tomatoes that fail to ripen be
fore f’.ost may be kept far into the
winVr if wrapped in paper and laid
away in a cool dark place. Use only
strong stocky plants and transplant
them carefully.
Rutabagas planted early in Aug
ust will last from November until
May with no protection in winter.
It is best to thin them to a stand,
10 to 12 inches apart, when the
plants are no’; over two inches high.
Peas can ho planted in August and
September and will be ready to eat
in October and November.
Those who like radishes will prob
ably enjoy the winter varieteis, es-
pocially the Chinese Winter Rose.

Sixteen of Sojth Carolina’s foremost
farmers have been chosen to receive
the title cf Master Farmer bestowed
by the Progressive Farmer Maga
zine and the Clemson College Exten
sion Service on Thursday, August
16, at Farmers’ Week here, at which
time they will be awarded medals
ard certificates and the public will
be told about their remarkable rec
ords. Forty farme-s scattered wide
ly over the State were nominated by
their neighbors and friends and were
scored by competent judges by a
rigid score card from the standpoint
of profession of business and of cit-
izenship and from this number the
honored 16 were chosen. They are
as follows tojriheo with the counties
they represent:
Cel R. B. Watson, Ridge Springs,
State at large; W. K. Smith Hamp
ton: H. L. Lake. Aiken; J. F. Fairey,
Calhoun; E. L. Culler, Orangeburg;
W. N. Henderson, Greenwood; T. W.
Gaston, Spartanburg; J. Wade
Drake, Anderson; James R. Reid,
Chester; J. L. Gettys, Kershaw; W.
B. Wilkerson, York; J. F. Williams-
Sumter; C. W. Rogers, Marion; J.
B. Clarkson, Williamsburg; S. W.
Minims, Dorchester; A. V. Bethea,
Dilior.
Each of those men, Mr. C. L. New
man, cf the Progressive Farmer,
says; has made a remarkable record,
which compares favorably with the
Master Farmers who have been
chosen in 20 other states, proving
that South Carolina’s best farmers
measure up with the best in the
country. It is expected that this list
of masters of the farming profession
will be enlarged from time to time,
but a high standard of excellence has j y
been established as a precedent.
