It is what the individual* thinks in solitude, not what he gazes at in a crowd, that makes him worth while. Milton, Roger Bacon in his blind ness in prison, Bunyan in jail, Vol taire and Mirabeau in the prison of the Bastille, developed excellent ideas.

Sweet Potato Crop Shortest In 61 Years CLEMSON COLLEGE, Aug. 19.— The condition of the sweet potato crop on August 1, as reported by the Bureau of Agricultural Eco nomics, was only 65 per cent, the lowest for that date since 1869.

They’re now expected to work toward prevention of millions of dollars in insect crop damage. * Giant Surinam toads are being brought into the state from Porto Rico to rid the lower coastal reg ions of the mole cricket, one of the most destructive insects of the reg ion. • The cricket does most of its damage underground in the day time, but comes to the surface at night. The Surinam toads, which sleep little, are expected to catch the pests when they come out of their holes. • But crickets are not the only* insects that Porto Rican toads thrive on. . The t imported* pest- catcher is expected, to aid mater ially in extermination of May beetles, boll weevils, white grubs, cockroaches, fleas, melon beetles, leaf hoppers, millipedes, house fly pupae, centipedes, land snails and caterpillars. The toad’s appetite seems in satiable. Tests show it is fond of 83 different kinds of insects, most of them detrimental to crops. One toad has caught 128 flies in less than a half hour. Experiments with the Surinam toads are being watched closely by the Texas state department of agriculture, and it is probable that a campaign will be started to in troduce the toad into all parts of the state. Experiments so far have stroy plants. In On the Hudson, near Sing Sing prison, four persons in a sinking heat were In danger of drowning. Four convicts, sentenced to long terras, with many years of prison life ahead of them, asked for a chance to save those in danger, saying: “We will come back.” The guards wisely consontod. The convicts saved the four, and tlty did come hack to serve out their terms. proximately 16,000 acres Georgia Cypress Company. from near Beaumont. J. F. Combs, agri- j cultural extension agent, is in South Carolina and graduated from Clemson College in 1909. He has had considerable experience in ag ricultural work in South Carolina and in Oklahoma, and for the last two years he has been doing grad uate work at Cornell University. This new extension activity was made possible through a special appropriation from the United States Department of Agriculture for work in agricultural economics. Much work in this line has been done in other states, and In this state considerable research in ag ricultural economics has already been done, furnishing a basis of factual material for extension work. Mr. Watkins, who recently com pleted a year’s graduate work in economics at Harvard University, will serve as chief of the Division of Agricultural Economics in the Extension Service, retaining his position as assistant director; and the third member of the staff will be selected with reference to train ing and qualifications regarding Southern farming. How To Tell Laying Hens CLEMSON COLLEGE, Aug. 19.— The comb, wattels and earlobes of a hen enlarge or contract de pending on the condition of lay ing, says P. H. Gooding, extension poultry specialist, who adds that if CLEMSON COLLEGE, Aug. 19.— Enormous losses are felt each year by the South Carolina farms on the value of their cotton due to lack of care in picking, storing and ginning the seed cotton, says R. W. Hamilton, extension agronomist, who states that much of this loss is preventable. A sample of cotton is valued on two characters, staple-length and grade. Staple-length is largely con trolled by the variety and breed ing of the seed that were planted. This year a larger per centage of our cotton is from well bred seed of good staple-length than ever before. Staple-length throughout the state should be an improve ment over past years. The grade, or appearance as to color, trash, stain, and luster of a sample is largely controlled by the handling of the cotton by the lliijer from the time the boll opens until ginned. Poor grade may cause Joss in value from one to five cents per pound. The seed cotton should be pick ed as soon as bolls have opened wide and the lint has “fluffed” up, but never picked when wet from dew or rain unless it is spread out and thoroughly dried, warns Mr. Hamilton. Where cot ton has been beaten out by wind or rain it may be picked separate from undamaged cotton. Allowing open cotton to remain long un picked causes loss in value due to weather and soil stain and “ting ing” or bluing from fungi on the lint. It is best not to gin immediate ly after picking, but store the seed cotton loosely under shelter, a drying out of the excess moisture these parts are large and smooth the bird is laying, but when the and an equalization of the natural comb is shrunken and rough, she | ino isture throughout ~the pile takes is not in production. place giving the lint a higher ten sile strength, better staple, oetter The whole abdomen of a laying hen is dilated so that the pelvi'* bones are widespread and the end of the breastbone is forced down, away from the pelvic bones, sc as to give a large capacity.
