CLEMSON COLLEGE, May 13.— Farm business studies of the up per Piedmont made in 1927 and 1928 by the agricultural econom ists of the South Carolina Experi ment Station have been analyzed and reported upon in Bulletin 264, Piedmont Farm Business Stud ies, by W. C. Jensen and B. A. Rus sell of . the division of agricultural economics and this publication is now ready for free distribution through the Division of Publica tions, Clemson College, S. C. Outstanding among the facts and deductions found in the new publication are the following: 1. The best paying farms in the survey made about $1400 average farm income and the poorest pay ing farms about $300 farm income. Farms with highest earnings had more crop land and larger cotton acreage than did those with low earnings. 2. The returns from cotton may be increased either by producing at a lower cost or by growing bet ter quality cotton . Farms with high earnings produce approxi mately 100 pounds more of lint cotton per acre than those with low earnings. 3. Some farmers produced cot ton at nine cents a pound, while others produced it as high as 29 cents a pound. 4. Farms with highest earnings had more land planted to legumes than did other farms. An in crease in legume acreage ultimate ly results in better yield of cotton and other crops. 5. It is important to secure at least 25 bushels of corn per acre land correspondingly good average AND yields of oats and hay, if these crops are to be grown economically in the crop system. 6.

Tarrant REHOBOTH NEWS picking up purple beads everywhere I go,” sighed Polly Anderson’s chum one afternoon as she picked up bits of col ored china from the rug. Polly laughed. The orchid gown trimmed so heavily In tiny purple beads was a venture with her and it amused her to have It attract so much attention. Somewhere in an essay on colors she had read that the mauve and pur ple shades were mental stimulants. She had felt herself getting into a rut for months. Nothing was any fun. Nothing amused her. She seemed subnormal, spiritually. And she had happened to see this little essay on colors. It had appealed to her and she had bought the gown in which were all the tones of purple. Now it was shedding its beads every where she went, and she was being amused by the result. No doubt she and others, is visiting relatives for a few days. ' v Mrs. George Hemminger, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Andrews of Will- ington were Mt. Carmel visitors one afternoon last week. Misses Juanita Curtis and Lily Parker, Messrs. Neilson and Simp son were Elberton visitors Monday evening. Miss Lily Parker of Calhoun Falls spent the past week end with Miss Juanita Curtis.

Mrs. Charles Bowyers and son of Elberton spent the past week end with her mother, Mrs. J. R. Tar rant, at the home of her sister, Mrs. W. A. Scott. We were all grateful and thank- to read them. She stopped suddenly, her eyes fairly glued to a small inset. “FOUND—Numerous small purple beads, evidently of value. Owner may have same by matching them for identification.—A.

Wells, a fraternity dance since she had worn Dr wells and Mr. and Mrs. S. D. the gown. When the girls were both invited to a dance at one of the fraternity houses at the university the following month, Polly said, “Let’s go. It's ages since we’ve been to one.” J “AI1 right; I’ll go.” Wells left early Saturday morning for an extended visit of several days in Manning, Greeleyville, Sumter, Myrtle Beach and other places of interest. Mrs. W. A. Scott, Miss Gladys Polly had » premonition that sJu ’‘s C ott and Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Tar- ought to wear her purple frock. She didn’t quite admit it to herself, hut this was the real reason for her going rant and family were Abbeville to the dance a* all—to find out if there was such a person as Arthur Norton in the college town. Polly and her chum reached Col lege Heights on schedule Lime, Polly’s heftrt dancing at the adventure of her trip. The orchid gown w T as in her bag with the purple satin slippers and sil* ver wreath for her bobbed hair. They were scarcely inside the door of the fraternity house when the man she was with was stopped by a friend. “Hello, Norton, coming tonight of course?’* asked Polly’s companion. “Rather,” replied the stranger. He had not noticed Polly. - Polly, accustomed, at least to a glance from most male eyes, was a trille piqued when the stranger passed on. “Who was that?” she asked, loftily, the name having caught her ear. - “Oh—that’s Professor Norton, the new* professor of applied psychology. A bit of a nut, perhaps, but quite all right. He’ll be at the dance.” Surely he could not be Arthur Nor ton, argued >Polly to herself. That night w’hen Professor Norton was presented to. her and she saw his splendid gray eyes fall on the designs of purple heads all over her shim mering gow*n she knew’ it was Arthur Norton. “But—” he began. Polly stopped him while she got into step. “Don’t ask me now’. I’d rather wait a minute. Isn’t it funny?’ The two danced for a . couple of moments in silence, wondering at the rhythm that had so suddenly caught them up together. “Now tell me,” said Polly, looking up at him. “You are Arthur Norton and you -did send the beads, hut— where did you get them and why did you advertise?” He explained that in the beginning I it had been a joke. One of the men ' from his house had been visiting in | Polly’s town, had picked up-the bends here and there during the course | of a dance, for fun, had pulled them ! out of his dinner coat pocket aud 1 dared Norton to advertise for the visitors last Thursday. Miss Martha Connor was a Mc Cormick visitor Thursday after noon. Miss Carrie Richardson of At lanta was the week end guest of her sister, Mrs. Ida M. Black. Mrs. Carrie Connor, Misses Juan ita Curtis and Martha Connor were shopping in Elberton Friday afternoon. Mrs. Mary Smith and little Jeane returned home last Satur day. Mrs. Edward Hammond and son of Elberton came with them and spent the week end. Messrs. Herman and Barnard Smith of Greenville came to Mt. Carmel Sabbath to spend Moth er’s Day w;th their mother. X Side-Dress Cotton With Quiek Nitrogen CLEMSON COLLEGE, May 13.— That it pays to side-dress cottor with readily available nitrogen ha been proven very conclusively Jr the South Carolina Experimen Station, which in 1929 tested eieh carriers of nitrogen used to zidc dress cotton.

About every one wore a white or red flower in honor of mother, the best friend a boy or girl ever had, and many were made happy by some expres sion of their love for mother. Several friends and relatives mo tored over to Plum Branch one evening last week to call on Mrs. Nenie Winn and Mrs. Evan Coch ran who are here on a visit from Florida. We are always glad to see our former Rehoboth friends. Pastor and Mrs. Gurley dined in the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Culbreath Sunday. Miss Gertrude Culbreath spent a very pleasant week end with her friend Miss Kathleen Hollings worth, of the Liberty Hill Section. Mrs. P. P. Doolittle was able to attend church Sunday, and she spent one day last week with Mrs. W. P. Culbreath. Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Freeland vis ited Col. and Mrs. W. J. Talbert one afternoon last week. Miss Adalaide Chandler visited Mrs. E. M. Winn Sunday. We are very thankful for such delightful rain; everything seems so refreshed and the birds do not take all the strawberries since the rain. Club members, don’t forget the meeting next week. Each member is requested to bring some piece of glass or pottery. Mrs. Stallworth will demonstrate a kind of paint ing. I read of one lady who painted gourds for wall vases, and they were lovely. News is scarce, so I will fill in with some remedies that are said to be good. Half ounce of pulver ized saltpeter put in half pint of sweet oil; this is for rheumatism, bathe affected parts with it. An other rheumatism remedy is, take* 3 drops of winter green oil twice a day. I hope some rheumatism sufferers will find help from these. Now a chicken remedy, and I leave you until next week. This is not an original remedy either. I read it several years ago, and have found it splendid for white diah- rhea in chickens. For large poul try dealers, an ounce of perman- gate of potash, mixed with a pound of Epsom salts, put tea spoonful to gallon of drinking wa ter. For smaller flocks, a dime’s worth of permangate of pot ash to a 5c package of salts, and just enough to make the water pink. -IX* A Good Combination woMderful > iruese. make the heart wander. Soybeans and cowpeas sown to gether make a very good mixture for hay or pasture. The yield is usually greater than that of either crop alone, and the curing of the cowpeas is easier because of the presence of the soybean plants. Varieties of the two crops that mature at about the same time should be planted. It is better to have more soybean plants than cowpeas so that the vining cowpeas will have support. From 1 to 1 1-2 bushels of soybeans and 1-2 to 1 bushel of cowpeas are sown to an acre if seeded in close drills; in 3-foot rows one-half of these amounts is enough. The crop should be cut for hay when the soybeans are one-half to full grown and the first pods of the cowpeas are mature. Buckwheat is a good green-man ure crop. A heavy growth plowed under makes plant-food available, iecays quickly, furnishes humus, xnd helps to loosen hard soils. Very Door land can be improved by owing rye with the buckwheat, the rate of sowing being rather scant for the buckwheat and nor mal for the rye. The rye is cover ed and held in check by the more rapidly growing buckwheat until this crop is harvested, after which it develops and occupies the land over winter. In spring it is plow ed under as green manure. This plan is repeated year after year until the land is sufficiently im proved to grow other crops. Buck- wheat does not add nitrogen to the soil, but it will often help to put the land in condition to grow le gumes. T\t , HoUnndaisc sauce, made with egg yolks, butter and lemon juice, is a delicious accompaniment for asparagus, and it enriches the meal in respect to both minerals and vitamins.
