It is operated with different quantities of oil, at various speeds, and with varying loads. In one series of tests, the weight of the load was kept at 175 lbs. per square inch. The quantity of oil supplied was 12 drops each minute. With “Standard” Motor Oil the machine operated per fectly at 700 revolutions per minute. With other motor oils used by motorists today, the machine became over-heated and the oil failed at from 300 to 400 revolutions per minute. How much do you spend for gasoline? How much for tires?

Plenipotentiaries of fifteen nations, including the United States, Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Japan, on August 27th in Paris, j signed a multilateral treaty renounc ing war. Since that t'me over three- fourths of all countries have signed er declared their intention of doing so. By signing this treaty the con tracting parties agree that the set tlement of any dispute or conflict that may a: se among them, no mat ter the nature or origin, she.aid never be sought except through pacific means. It was described by Presi dent Coolidge as a “great forward step in the preservation of peaceful relat r ons between the nations.” The existence of such a document is doubtlessly a signal indication of the future arrival of a fme when guns and other implements of war fare may be moulded into plough shares forever and ever, of a time when the people will no longer be called upon to bear the weighty ex- perse of an Army and Navy. "Vet even the most optimistic, the extr me pacifists, would hardly be justified in advocating the scrapping c»f this country’s armaments in reli ance upon the treaty. Too often in history have natiois forgotten their agreements in the lust for blood. Not yet i s the veneer* of man’s civilization thick enough to withstand the innate desire for conflict. In the present stage, strong defense fefrees probably st:ll remain one of the best assur ances of continued peac/e for this country. Though this be true, it does not dim the significance of the treaty. The s gning of the agreement by the representatives of so many millions of people points to the prevaler.ee of the universal desire for better under standings and closer relations be tween countries. It is ind'eative of the widespread realizatic'n of the fu tility of war and bloodshed. It brings neai« the vision, makes more probable the dawn of a day when na- tio s shall exist, not as jealous, sus picious and Unsympathetic units, but in friendliness and understanding without the fear of conflict.

H. Brunson, exten sicn entomologist if the grain bins and cribs are thoroughly cleaned now and all trash removed and burn ed to destroy many insect - ; that would infest the grain upon being placed in storage, and treating the stored g: a : n w r ith carbon bisulphide. For cribs or bins that are actual ly air-tight, probably four or five pounds of this liquid to 1000 cubic feet cf space would be sufficient; but under o"dinary conditions much more (15 to 20 pounds per 1000 cubic feet) is required. The fumi gant is appl’ed by distributing the liquid on top of the grain in shal low’ pan* ov by pouring it directly on the grain if not intended for j planting. Best results arc had j when the temperature is 75 degrees Fahrenheit cr higher, allowing the fumigant to act 24 hours or me.re. Small quant tic3 of plantir.g seed can be fumigated by placing them in a tight barrel or drygoods box, leaving a space of four or five inches at the top fo:« the fumigant in a shallow’ pan on top of the seed.

Try some Hanson, Mignon ette, Wondeitful and Big Boston, one sowing now and another six weeks later. Plant on the richest soil, fert ilize heavily, and top dress with ni trate of soda. • ^ It is time to think about hot beds and coldframes. Get the old ones in shape and get materials fee new ones. It is not too early to get the sdil ready or be on the lookout fee the best manure when it is needed.— A. E. Schilletter, extension horticul- tuinst. X Summer Silage Suggestions Summer silage is the best means of supplementing pasture for dairy oows in summer and fall when grass is short because of hot, dry weather and close grazmg. For a herd of 12 to 20 cows, a silo of from 10 to 12 feet in diameter is best, as the silage can be fed out fast enough to pre vent spoiling. Now is the time to plan for next summer’s feeding. Sup plementary pasture erdps instead of summer silage are used by many dairymen to prevent the midsummer drop in milk flow. In many sections sweet clover has proved very satis factory for th's purpose, and alfalfa can also be pastured at this time. Combinations pf legumes such as peas, vetches, and soy beans, with grains such as coi*n, wheat, oats-, barley and rye, can be fed green, and successive plantings of these crops will often provide succulent feeds , over an extended period. Too many farmers expect their dairy cows to produce plenty of milk during the summer on poor pasture with no ad ditional feed. X Bury The Joint worm State Poultry Producers Organize For Business Is | One-half cupful or each barrel, or (in case of hexes) one-fourth pound! per 100 cubic feet of space is recom mended. The barrel or box should be covered at once with damp news- ! papers or old blankets and allowed j j to stand several days. A simple method for small amt-ants of seed in storage is by the use of air-slaked lime; for small quantises four paits of lime to one part of seed, and for one peck to three bushels equal amount of lime and setd, mixed well and placed in some receptacle until ready to be used Those interested in the proper methods cf constructing fumigating rooms and granaries may write to the Office of Information, Washing ton, D.

CLEMSON COLLEGE, Sept. 12 — Organization of the South Carolina Poultry Improvement Association was perfected at a meeting of poul try breeders and hatcherymon in Co lumbia. August 31, when a larg-* per cent of tfic baby chick hatchery op erators as well as a number of the h e.d ng pc'ultry breeders made ap plication fer membership. The purpose of the association, rays L. G. Neel, poultry specialist of the Extension Service, is to afford protect : on to the producer from un scrupulous competition and enable the purchaser to buy with confid- er.cq. A survey of the poultry breeding and hatching businesses early in the summer showed that practically all were in favor of some form of official inspection and stand ardization. Membership in the new organiza tion will include flock dwners and hatcherymen, who will be designated as (1) S. C. Standard Flock owner, (2) S. C. Standard B. W. D- flock owner, (3) S. C. Certified flock own er, (4) S. C. Certified B. W. D. flock owner. Clemson Agricultural College will have general supervision of the in spection work, approve and train in spectors, and direct disease control work. -tXt Two-thirds of all telephone wires in the United States are in under ground cable. Control of the wheat jointworm— next to the Hess - 'an fly the woist pest attacking wheat in the major ity of the wh'-at States east of the Mississippi River and in parts of Missouri a: d Oregon—can be ac complished by plowing under the’ stubble in thp late summer or early fall, thus bury ; ng the pest so deeply lie to prevert it” emergence the fol- Lnving spring. At present nothing is being done to control this insect, and furthermore, the farming pnactices nnj systems of rotation ndw used in ctiong where the jointworm is pre vail nt afford ideal breeding condit ions for it. One indicat on cf joint- worm injury is the number cf fallen or lodged plants, which often causes the injury to be confused with that of the Hessian fly. However, attacks by the jointworm cause hard, woody galls at the places whe.te the plants bend over, and often small, warlike swellings are noticeable at the points of infestation oh the stems. Of course pic'wing under should not be done when it interferes with the growing of clover and forage grass es. Since the jointworm attacks only wheat, other crops can be substituted where this pest is present. With a nice assortment of visiting cards and pretty type faces.
