The old year which brought to us many pleasures, as well as some disappointments will soon be but a memory. This evening will mark its close and tomorrow morning will bring to each of us.- as it were, a bock of unwritten pages. Now what shall be bur first inscription? S’pose we inscribe our resolutions for the New Year and in making them, may this one be among the first—Resolved, That I shall make a strenuous effort to resist the temptation to break the resolutions for the year 1930, as I have so of ten done in preceding years. May the New Year bring to our kind Editor, his staff and the many readers of his interesting paper, a year of peace, happiness and pros perity and may their pathway be brightened by the sunshine of God’s smiles, Edward . Covin is spending the holidays in Little Rock, Ark., with his sisters, Mrs. LeRoy and little Miss Ellen Covin. Edward has been sorely missed by his friends here, as he always took an active part in their boyish sports. Mr. Sam Cowan of Georgia, Mr. Will Cowan and wife and Mr. Char ley Cowan of Bellvue were guests this afternoon of their sisters, Mrs. Ada Kennedy, Miss Carrie and Miss Sudie Cowan. These brothers had not been in the home very long before each of them brought out his voilin and Miss Carrie her guit ar and soon had the home filled with the most melodious music. To say it was enjoyed by all present, would inadequately express the truth. We are now thoroughly convinc ed that we are to lose our good neighbors, Mr. John Schrimp and family, since they have moved a part , of their household and kit chen furniture. When the rumor was first circulated’that they were contemplating going to Iva to live, we hoped the report was false, but to our regret, it is a stem reality and we can only wish for them happiness and contentment in their new location. We are glad to welcome one of our jolly boys, Wright Andrews, on the street again, after being con fined to his home some days of cold. Mr. Broome and family of Iva were recent guests of Mrs. Broome’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. McNair They were en route to Georgia to spend some days with Mr. ! Brocmc’s aged parents. Mr. and Mrs. Alex Lawton en tertained at a Christmas dinner. and Mrs. Bobbie Cowan of Hlington and Mr. Burnette of Manta, Ga. One of Willington’s worthy boys, Albert McNair, left Sunday with Mr. Francis Covin for Taylors, where Mr. Covin has secured him a position. His pals will doubtless miss him, but we hope their so cial loss, will be his financial gain. Mrs. Ada Kennedy’s cup of hap piness has been full to over-flow ing from having with her for the Christmas holidays her son, Mr. Jim Kennedy and family. While here they complimented her with a most enjoyable motor trip to Au gusta, Ga. Mr. and Mrs. Charles LeRoy entertained at a Christmas dinner last week the members of • their family, Mrs. Susan LeRoy Miss Willie LeRoy Mr. and Mrs. Jim Hemminger and children Margaret and James. Mr. F. P. Rush wishes to thank his friends who so kindly remem bered him with bountiful toys dur ing the past week. Owing to the severity of the weather he was shut in and these favors caused him to feel that 'though absent he was not forgotten. Your scribe has been a victim of the epidemic of severe colds and consequently was initiated into the shut-in-^and. However the lovely window views of the white Christ mas were enjoyed immensely. We regret to hear that Miss Leona Clinkscales is still suffering from the effects of a case of mumps. She is in Abbeville at the home of her sister. We wish for her a speedy recovery. Our Christmas holiday festivities were ushered in by an entertain ment and Christmas tree, given by Miss Louise McBride and her school, aided by Miss Francis Rush and her Sunbeam Band. The pro gram being long we will not give it, but will only metion the page ant—“The Nativity,” which was beautifully carried out. After the program, “Old Santa,” imperson ated by Mr. Johnnie Morrow to the delight of the children, soon had each little girl and boy, happy and wishing that he could come oftener.

(adv.> STROMS’ DRUG STORE South Carolina Summary 1929 UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE BUREAU OF AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS COLUMBIA, S. C., DECEM BER 31, 1929 The tots! estimated value of the p *.c4>a’ i-cld and truck crops pro duced in South Carolina during 1329 is $154,442,000, which is an in crease of $12,929,000, or 9.1 per cent over the estimated value of $141,513,000 for the same crops in 1928. Thirteen truck crops, grown for shipping and canning, are valued at $9,107,000, or 39 per cent above the 1928 value of $6,549,000 for same crops. Cr.-po hewing increases in value are: Cotton, Com, Tobacco, Oats, Rye, Irish and Sweet Potatoes, Sugar Cane, Soybeans, and Cow- peas, while Cotton Seed, Wheat, Peanuts, Sorghum Sirup, Tame and Wild Hay, Apples, Peaches, Pears, and Pecans are below last year in value. The total crop acreage harvest ed in 1929 is estimated at 5,012,060 acres, which is 5 per cent less than 1 che estimate of 5,271,000 acres har vested in 1928. Average per acre yield is well above last year for most crops, the yield of oats and Sweet Potatoes breaking all previous records. Improvement in yields over last year is especially noticeable in Cotton, Com, Oats, Sweet Potatoes, and Sugar Cane; while Rye, Pea nuts, Tobacco, and the legumes al so have somewhat greater yields, but Wheat, Irish Potatoes, Sor ghum Sirup, and Hay are below last year. In point of total quantity pro duced the year was reasonably sat isfactory. More cotton, Com, Oats, Sweet Potatoes, Peanuts, Rye, Sug ar Cane, and Velvet Beans were made. Tobacco production was approximately the same, but we harvested smaller crops of Wheat, Irish Potatoes, Soybeans, Cowpeas, and Hay. The year was unfavor able for fruits and nuts and these crops were unusually small this year.'' Based on the December estimate of 846.000 bales’ of 500 pounds gross weight and an average December 1 price of 16.4 cents per pound the Cotton crop is valued at $69,290,000, compared with $66,792,000 last year. The average price was 2 cents per pound lower this year than last and a 16 per cent larger crop is worth only about 3.7 per cent more money. Cotton seed is valued at $10,500,- 000, compared with $12,558,000 last year. Although the estimated pro duction'of 375,000 tons is. 43,000 more than last year, this year’s reported price of $28 is $11 per ton less than the 1928 price, so that the value of the 1929 crop is 16.4 per cent below the previous year The State has gathered a good Com crop. Hie harvested acreage of 1,422,000 acres is the same as last year, but due to a much better average yield per acre, the crop of 23,321,000 bushels is 6,257,000 bush els above the short crop of 1928. The December 1 price of 99 cents per bushel gives it a value of $23.- 068,000, compared with $18,088,000 last year. • • Hie Tobacco crop is estimated at 82,992,009 pounds and compares with 82,288,900 pounds last year. The average price per pound of 16.0 cents is 3.3 cents better than the average of last year and the total value of the crop is $13,279,000; compared with $10,451,000 for the 1928 crop. Oats have a value of $8,813,000, compared with $6,621,000 last year. The 408,000 acres harvested was 71,000 greater then last year, how ever, the increase was more of a recovery toward a normal acreage from the freeze-out of .the prev ious crop rather than an expan sion of the usual acreage. The re ported average yield of 27.0 bush els per acre is the highest of rec ord for the State, but the harvest ed acreage being less than in some previous years the total crop of 11,- 016,000 bushels is not the largest produced. A Wheat acreage of 64,000 acres is the same as last year, but the yield per acre was half bushel less and the average price about 11 cents per bushel below 1928, so that the total value of $1,152,000 is $136,000 below last year.

Cir cumstances may be kind to some and they may, through good for tune, be able to escape the logical outcome of thriftless habits. But it is not safe to rely on the cap rices of luck for one’s happiness and security in life, particularly after one has reached the years of old age. •It is not entirely a problem of finance. It is quite as much a problem of moral stamina. With the rank and file of men and women, ability to save money is an indication of will power and ambition. People who fail to svae money do not neglect this prac tice because they cannot save. They do it because they will not. It is not that the saving of money in itself is of supreme im portance. The point is that the habit of saving is an indication of a sound attitude toward life. It indicates clear thinking, ambition, force of character, Failing to save ■ndicates indifference to one’s well being—a failure to grasp the deep problems involved in indi vidual progress. Broadly speaking, it might be said that the person who cannot save money is destined to failure in life because he does not care enough about success to fight for it. We should learn to look upon saving, therefore, as a test of am bition. Those who are willing to fritter away their earnings from day to day without provision for the future show a fatal indiffer ence to their own fate. It is well to remember at all times the solidifying effect of thrift. It gives substantiability to one’s plans and, direction and purpose to all individual pro gress. .

The total crop is estimated at 5,750,000 bushels, compared with 4,214,000 last year. The total value at $4,888,000 is *31,306,000 greater than last year. “ A higher yield of Peanuts on the same harvested acreage resulted in the price was some^iat lower and a larger (crop, th^n last year, but the crop is valued at $350,000 compared with $406,000 a. year ago. Sorghum, valued at $1,034,000, is approximately the same as last year. Due to a much better yield per acre, Sugar Cane Sirup is val ued at $810,000, compared with $675,000 in 1928. Due largely to scarcity and high price of cowpeas last summer the Tame Hay acreage of 365,000 acres was 79,000 below 1928 and though the yield was almost as good the production of 313,000 tons whs 63,- 000 tons le&. The crop is valued at $6,010,000 compared with $6,956,- 000 last^ear.’ Cowpeas planted alone w^re reduced also, the esti mate being '165,000 acres this year, against 229,000 last year, but the crop of 1,115,000 bushels compares with 1,374,000 bushels in 1928. How ever, a price of $2.30 per bushel compared with $1.55 last year gives this year’s crop a value of $2,656,- 000 compared with $2,130,000 last year. Soybean production at 405,- 000 bushels is about the same as ’ast year, but a somewhat better price gives the crop a value of $972,000 compared with $832,900 last year. It was a poor Fruit year and the combined value of Apples, Peaches, and Pears is only $1,337,000, com pared with $2,245,000 last year. Smoking Meat The best fuel for smoking meat is green hickory or maple wood smothered with sawdust of the same material. Hard wood of any kind is preferable to soft wood. Resinous woods should not be used, as they may give a bad flavor to the meat. Com r cobs are a good substitute for hard wood. Juniper berries, or fragrant woods may be added to the fire to flavor the meat. -The fire should be kept burning slowly, keeping the tem perature between 70 degrees and 90 degrees. If the fire dies down too much the meat gets cold and the smoke doesn’t penetrate read- ily. If it grows too' hot it may soorch the meat * Oiled or waxed paper is best to wrap the smoked meat in. it should then-be done up in heavy muslin or; canysm and covered with yellow wash or ordin ary lime whitewash to which glue has been added, as a protection against flies and insects,' Hang each piece separately to the stor age room} do not stack in piles. A dry, cool cellar^r attic, with free ventilation, is ' a good place to store smoked meats if it is kept dark and flies are excluded.

Department of Agriculture farm at Beltsville, Md„ made the envi able record of 306 eggs in her pul let-laying year, yet she was culled from the flock and sold as meat. Size of eggs, as .well as number, is important in breeding poultry for good egg production, the depart ment believes. This hen’s 306 eggs were under-sized, poorly shaped, and contained less food value than 20 dozen standard-sized eggs. They might not have hatched well had an effort been made to reproduce them, and it is essential to breed chickens for size and quality of eggs as well as for greater num bers of eggs. A minimum stand ard of 24 ounces to the dozen has been adopted as a basis for culling the Department of Agriculture breeding flocks. . tXt r— When the calf is three- weeks old, it should be given a little hay and grain . Clean, bright clover, alfalfa, or mixed hay is best. Alfalfa hay that is toe leafy should not be fed to a very young calf. Com, oats, wheat bran, and linseed meal are the best grains for a calf.
