Mr. Loadholt Used Nitrate Of Soda To Win Prize FAIRFAX, Mar. 31.—N. B. Load- holt of Fairfax, who won one of the district prizes in the state wide five-acre corn contest con ducted by the extension service of Clemson College last year, made 412.70 bushels of com on five acres notwithstanding his prize plot went through a severe drought. The yield is considered remarkable in view of the conditions. Mr. Loadholt planted Douthit’s prolific com on April 25 in four- foot rows and stalks averaging a little over one per foot. He used no fertilizer at time of planting bu? side-dressed liberally with a mixed fertilizer when the corn was three and five weeks old. He made four applications of 100 pounds of Chilean nitrate of soda per acre when the corn was seven to eight weeks old. Diversification is practiced by Mr. Loadholt, who does not believe in putting all of his eggs in one basket. Arthur Brisbane TELLS HOW HE WRITES “THIS WEEK” FOR 30,000,000 READERS -txx- April Showers Bring Egg Money CLEMSON COLLEGE, Mar. 28.— Records on 118 flocks during Feb ruary show that 19,814 hens made a naverage net profit of 20 cents per bird, reports P. H. Gooding, extension poultryman. These hens ate 16 cents worth of feed and laid 14 eggs each during the month. This income helps to contradict the general opinion that when the price of eggs drops in the spring the flock loses money. Records show that the birds make more money in the spring than at any other season, because the hens lay more eggs at this time than during the fall and winter months. The demonstration records show that the net profit per hen last Octo ber, when eggs were selling for 45 cents a dozen, was only 1.8 cents, while in November it was nine cents, in December 11 cents, in January 13 cents, and in February 20 cents. Hence, one can see that the spring of the year is the nor mal time for a high egg produc tion and as a result the profit above feed cost is high even though the selling price of eggs is low.' Poultry keepers receiving the highest egg production per hen in the various classes were: Mrs. J. B. Hill, Kathwood, best backyard flock; Mrs. A. D. Zahler, Ridge- land, best farm flock; and R. F. Parker, Chesterfield county, best commercial flock. L. J. Leffle- man, Sumter, received the highest egg production in the calendar flock class. New Semi-Weekly * Anderson Venture ■ Reports from Anderson Saturday said that a new semi-weekly news paper, The Retford, would appear soon in Anderson, the publishers being members of the Browne fam ily which recently sold the Ander son Daily Mail (afternoon daily). The Record will be issued Tuesdays and Fridays. txt A newspaper’s duty is to print things it may not like, but which the public does.

X Inspectors examined more than 5,500 shipments of crude drugs last /ear, including more than 250 varieties. x Any man could be as wise as Solomon if he had as many wives to give him pointers. txt What we need are some novels telling about life after marriage instead of before. X The trouble that some people take to make trouble is almost past belief. X A man fell three stories and broke one ankle. Falling one story and breaking three ankles would sound more plausible. XXX A man who can’t keep his mind on his business never has to worry about it very long. Arthur Brisbane, highest paid newspaper man in the world, tells how he writes his weekly column, nnder the title “This Week,” in an interview with Merle Crowell of he American Magazine, just is sued. Between 30,000,000 and 40,000,- 000 persons read his editorials,—a quarter of all the men, women and children in the United States. In 32 unbroken years of editorializing he had turned out 20,000,000 words. They would make 200 big books, a library in themselves. His “This Week” column, written for the Western Newspaper Union, is pub lished in 1200 newspapers. A cub reporter at 19, Brisbane became the New York Sun’s most brilliant newswriter within a year, its London correspondent within two years, its editor at 23. Ten years later he became editor of the New York Journal, then a comnlete failure with a circulation of 40,000 copies daily. Within four months he built its circulation to 1,000,000 daily. His editorials struck a new note in journalism and became the feature of his paper. He still ‘writes the editorials for the New ^ork Journal. His salary for this is $5,000 a week,—$260,000 a year, and he has enough outside business interests and investments to keep an average man busy. He is now 66 years old. “How much time do you spend on your “This Week” Column?” Mr. Crowell asked him. “When I am in the office,” Bris bane replied “I often dictate this entire column, or my similar ‘To day’ column, in 20 minutes. More often it takes 30 minutes. Late ed itions of papers I want to see are brought to me at four-fifteen in the afternoon. I have until quart er of five to glance at these pa- pears, do my dictating to a dictat ing machine, and have the dicta tion copied. A secretary goes with me to the ferry. Riding across the river, or on the car before my train pulls out, I correct the copy. From start to finish, my regular daily column takes about three quarters of an hour. “I’m not proud of this. It’s a facility that prevents better work. When I was a young reporter I could write, under pressure, about two thousand words of longhand an hour. “That’s why I have never writ ten anything worth while. “I have no illusions about my# editorials. Hundreds of writers could do them, probably much bet ter. But they’re afraid to write so simply, about such simple things.” “Is it true that you once wrote forty editorials for the Journal in half a day?” “The exact number was thirty- nine. I dictated them. It took about three hours. I was going on a vacation, and left copy to last until my return.” Brisbane’s “facility” could not possibly account for all he ac complishes if he had not made time and circumstance his serv ants. Even in his automobile he has a dictating machine, which he employs for personal correspond ence and many of the editorials outside the run of his daily column On a normal day he dictates thirty or forty letters and goes over many others prepared by his secretaries. Transcontinental train trips— and he makes many of them—dc oot hinder the flow of his daily output. His stateroom is equipped with the inevitable dictating ma- •Jiine; a secretary with a typewrit- ;r and another dictating machine occupies an adjoining room. Sta- ions best equipped to handle tele graph matter are on a prepared schedule. The Pullman Company, ootified in advance, makes fre* (uent deliveries of newspapers ’resh from the presses of the par- icular territory he is passing hrough. On his desk are several old fam- ly photographs, his father, his mo- her, his brother, and a picture of he little frame school-house in Tanwood, New Jersey, where he went to school for 4 or 5 years is a boy and where for a while he taught Bible class on Sunday. Within easy reach of his chair was a square, revolving bookcase full of reference works; a much- thumbed biographical dictionary, books of science, Adam Smith’s “Wealth of Nations,” and Bart lett’s “Familiar Quotations,” among others. On three sides of the office were bookcases filled with two or three thousand books. Perhaps a thousand of them had red-edged paper seals pasted on STATEMENT OF CONDITION OF THE PEOPLES BANK located at McCormick, S. C., at the close of business March 25th, 1931.
