CUEMSON COLLEGE, May 5.—
University at Florida’s livestock
Judging team, composed of Clyde
Uasss J. McClellan, and J. A.
Hudson, and alternate R. M. Fag-
ite, was high scorer at the Eastern
Colleges livestock Judging Contest
held here May 1. North Carolina
Slate placed second, V. P. I. third
and University of Tennessee fourth.
Hie winning team received a sil
ver trophy, while the three high
men and high scorers in each class
received medals. The three high
individuals in the order of their
placing were R. E. Byrd, alternate
from North Carolina State; A. J.
McClellan; and J. A. Hudson. Win
ners of each class were J. F. Brown, | premises
In communities where hog chol
era existed during the winter, par-
^cuiarly in the North, says a state
ment from the Bureau of Animal
Industry, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, hogs that died
from the disease very likely were
left unburied, perhaps covered with
snow. Frozen ground makes it a
iifficult task to bury these car
casses, and owners sometimes defer
this work ’till the snow has melted
end the frost is out of the ground,
n the meantime, new litters far-
owed on the premises, as well as
other susceptible hogs brought in
from dutside sources, are in dan
ger of taking cholera from the in
fection thus scattered.
All susceptible swine on such
should be immunized.
North Carolina State, sheep; R. C. (There is always a possibility of in-
Carter; V. P. hogs; J.« A. Hudson,
mules; and A. J. McClellan and G.
Xitton, V. P. I., tied for first on
fceef cattle, the former winning the
toss for the medal.
This contest, which is to be an
annual affair, will be held at the
University of Tennessee in 1932, afc-
cortttng to plans made public at the
banquet given the contestants fol
lowing the Judging.
Judges for the contest were E. A.
Cook and A. L. DuRant, sheep;
Ik V. Starkey, mules; E. G. God-
bey, hogs; and J. R. Hawkins, beef
cattle, all being livestock special
ists of Clemson College. Coaches
accompantng teams here were H.

North Carolina State; F. G. Mar

fection being present hi hidden
places to* which cholera-sick hogs
have had access, thus constituting
a source of danger, even after the
dead hogs have been properly dis
posed of. In short, where hog-
cholsra infection is known to ex
ist, the Federal specialists say,
prompt attention should be given
to the immunization of the herd.
It is not always safe to rely on
ability to keep hogs away from
places where infeition may lurk.
Once the serum and virus used in
preventing cholera have been prop
erly administered, the owner may
rest assured that his hogs are
immune and will not contract the
disease.

To my classmates:
Leila Bradley—
She’s always been a true friend,
About the best I’ve had,
And when a little “fuss” gets up,
I’ll say I miss her bad.
Katherine Lang—
Although she’s such a tiny kid,
She is a good old scout,
But now and then we get mad.
And don’t mind what about.
Frances Robinson—
Well I’ll just tell you.
It’s not meek to say,
For she always has her big words
Stuck right up in the way.
Alma Faulkner— .
She always wears the cutest clothes
And has the cutest ways,
And goodness gracious, oh my,
To be her friend—it pays.
Benzi Rankin—
It’s true she uses lots of rouge,
And tries to look her best,
But in her I find no faults,
She's just like all the rest.
Isabel White—
She is the oldest in the class,
Not years but in her ways,
She sits and studies all the time.
Although I ’spose it pays.
Sara Louise Smith—
She’s one of our honor students,
^nd my how she got there!
Dh well, she’s pretty smart,
But she seems to have no care.
Sara Louise Strom—
She is a cute little dear
Honest I’ll have to admit,
Bhe is the smallest in class,
But to me she makes a hit.
Martha Major—
Vly but she is fussy,
>he wants to slap you down.
But she’s a right sweet little kid
When lunch is passed around.
Louise Smith—
O, yes she’s pretty tall.
And a mighty sweet girl too,
If you once get her for a friend,
She’ll always be true to you.
Jenny Lou Lyon—
She’s such a dear girl,
With not much to say,
She always talks about the boys,
I wish she’d quit some day.

FRESHMEN.
We’re only little freshmen
Always brave and true,
We’re always ready to help you
So why dread it like you do?
We’re only first year students
With all our work and cares,
We’ll graduate if it takes us
So many, many years.
At first you may not succeed,
And everything seems dreary
But just try once again,
Until you’re filled the deed.
