Thursday, May 14, 1931 McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, SOUTH CAROLINA PAGE NUMBER EIGHT % Ann Carter Chapter Met Thursday Mrs. T. J. Price and Mrs. J. T. Fooshe were joint hostesses Thurs day afternoon at the home of Mrs. T. J. Price to the Ann Carter Chap ter, U. D. C., at its regular month ly meeting. This meeting being a memorial program for the Confederate dead, proved to be very impressive with Mrs. H. H. Shiflet, proCTam chair man, in charge. An interesting featatifce of the program was the roll call by Mrs. J. E. Bradley and placing of a flower on a wreath for each name of a departed veteran, with a song in keeping sung very softly by Mrs. W. L. Acker with Mrs. J. S. Strom at the piano. This completing the program, business was entered into. The historian reported thirty cards mailed to veterans and wid ows of veterans. A motion made and carried that we give veterans and wives dinner at the hotel on memorial day with Mrs.* A. J. Hendrix acting as offi** • cial hostess for the chapter. After further reports from the various committees . the meeting . was turned over to the hostesses who served a delicious sweet course. The members spent the remain der of the afternoon making wreathes in preparation for mem orial exercises that were held Fri day morning. MRS. R. G.

Ridlehoover 70 txt Rafe King Taken Into Penitentiary CONVICTED MAN PUT THROUGH ROUTINE OF FINGER PRINTS AND PHOTOGRAPH COLUMBIA, May 9.—Rafe King today was number 28,758 at the South Carolina state penitentiary and he was “on detail.” The 39-year-old York county larmer, convicted of murdering his young wife, Faye Wilson King, in January, 1929, was brought here yesterday after Judge C. C. Feath- •erstone had sentenced him to life imprisonment. The usual prison routine was followed. He was registered with the desk sergeant, his hair was clipped, his photograph and finger prints taken, assigned to a cell and started to work in a suit of dark blue overalls. He is “on detail” under J. Olin Sanders, captain of the guard. There is no regular work for him in the factories and he will b£ giv en odd jobs around the peniten tiary. Interviewed yesterday afternoon, King chatted pleasantly and ap parently was much more at ease than during the time he was in the penitentiary under death sentence. King was convicted of the death of his wife in a trial at Chester and sentenced to die, but a new trial was granted. This was held at ^Lancaster. OPERA HOUSE ABBEVILLE, S. C.

This Summer NEW YORK, May 8.—The smart set is becoming “cotton conscious” and the demand this season is for the non-fading and washable wardrobe. Neatly tailored street apparel of broadcloth, ginghams, etc., will be much in evidence during the sum mer months, but the use of the fleecy Southern staple is by no means to be confined to street frocks and the like. At the beaches also cotton will be popular, according to the fash ion authorities here. Swimming suits, and boating costumes will be made of it and already the de mand is growing rapidly. Cotton materials will go into the making of pajamas which are popular for almost every occasion. And for evening dress as well, cotton materials are proving very popular. Sports costumes are being fashioned entirely of the staple, and even millinery is feeling the effect of the wear-more-cotton movement.

Dollar Investment Brings Back $4.33 That a dollar would grow to more than $4 inside of one season may sound like a whopper fish story, but a summary of 3,912 Chilean nitrate demonstrations shows that southern farmers are getting this return through the use of good fertilizer. The average return from a dol lar’s worth of Chilean nitrate for all principal crops was $4.33, ac cording to the summary of farm demonstrations conducted during the past eight years. The returns for single crops were as follows: Cotton, $4.78; corn. $3.37; oats, $3.24; wheat, $2.94; sugar cane, $4.16; and tobacco, $12.83. The demonstrations were con ducted under widely varying con ditions as regards soil and climate. In every case the fertilizer applica tions and the harvesting of the crops were checked by county agents or vocational teachers. COLUMBIA. May 14.—Skeptics vVlio de not believe in the value of 'arm lands in their home commun- ties will be interested in the fact hat The Federal Land Bank of Co- umbia sold $1,700,000 worth of .'aims ast year in Florida, Georgia md the Carolinas and that, if its ;ecord for the first third of this /ear is maintained during the re- > nainder cf the year, its sales should run between $2,500,000 and $3,000,000. Frank H. Daniel, president of the bank, in an interview said that luring the first four months of this year the bank actually made sales totaling $781,000. “We find that ilmost all of our sales are made lo yally to people who know the in trinsic value of farm properties and who have made up their minds chat they can earn a good dividend on their investment and assure .hemselves of a good living besides. We would rather sell land to this class of people than to those who do not know local conditions. They are not mistaken in values and they have sound ideas as to what the property can produce and that, after all, is the real test of the value of any property. If the value rises, the buyer is just that much better off, but if the property will earn a living, pay the taxes, inter est and dividends on the invest ment, the purchaser has made no mistake in buying. That present purchasers are proving their judg ment to be correct is demonstrated by the fact that very few purchas ers from the bank fail to make the grade.” X Jellied Meats For Warm Days The delightful days of spring and early summer conspire to keep us out-of-doors and so it is necessary to plan meals which are easy to prepare oi: which may be prepared early in the day. Jellied meats as the main dish are ideal for this, because they are satisfying and may be placed in the refrigerator early in the day. “What to do with the remains of Sunday’s lamb roast is answered beautifully in this jellied lamb ctish,” says Inez S. Willson, home economics director for the Nation al Live Stock atid Meat Board. Jellied Lamb 1 cup cooked lamb 2 tablespoons gelatine 1 cup cold water 1 teaspoon salt 2 cups hot stock Paprika 1 large orange 2 slices pineapple, diced 1-4 cup diced cucumber 1-2 cup fruit juices 1-4 cup mild vinegar Soak gelatine in cold water for 5 minutes, then dissolve in hot meat stock. Add orange juice. Pour some of the gelatine into a ring mold which has been dipped in cold water. Divide the orange in sections and arrange in the bot tom of the ring mold. When it begins to harden, add the meat, cucumbers, diced pineapple and seasonings to the gelatine mixture. ?ut into the mold, chill and then serve on a platter garnished with curly endive. Jellied Beef 4 cups cold cooked beef, ground 1 tablespoon gelatine 1-4 cup cold water 1 comato, chopped 1 tablespoon onion juice 1-8 teaspoon pepper Hot beef stock to cover Soak the gelatine for 5 minutes in the cold water or cold beef Stock. Dissolve in hot stock. Place the chopped beef, tomato and sea sonings in a mold. Pour over the gelatine mixture to cover. Chill. Yeal Mousse with New Peas 1 tablespoon gelatine 1 cup ground cooked veal 1-2 cup cold veal broth 1 3-4 cups hot veal broth 3 egg whites 3 egg yolks 1 cup whipping cream 1-2 teaspoon salt 1-4 teaspoon white pepper Soak the gelatine in cold broth for 5 minutes. Beat the egg yolk well, add the hot broth slowly while beating, mix in the gelatine, and cook all together in a double boiler until the mixture coats the spoon. Add the veal and let the mixture cool. Fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites, the seasoning, and the whipped ceam. Put the mixture in a wet ring mold and chill until stiff.. Unmold and serve with hot creamed new peas. Tea Inspection Shows Imports Good Quality Federal inspectors in the month of March examined enough im ported tea to make a cup every other day during that month for every man, woman, and child in the United States, and rejected on ly 1,217 pounds because of failure to meet the standards for purity and quality set by the Federal tea act, according to C. F. Hutchinson, chief tea examiner of the Food and Drug Administration, United States Department of Agriculture. Total imports for that month amounted to more than 7,000,003 pounds. Fed eral officials rejected no tea what ever for impurities, and the 1,217 pounds was rejected because of low quality. Ceylon tea held first honors in poundage of importation, but was closely followed by India tea. More than 2,000 300 pounds of each were imported. “The extremely small quantity of tea rejected in March,” said Mr. Hutchinson, “reflects the whole- i hearted co-operation v/ith the Gov ernment on the part of foreign ex porters and domestic importers. When the original Federal tea act was passed in 1883, the United States was rapidly becoming the dumping ground for the world’s worst tea, but the enforcement of that act and its successor, the present statute, enacted in 1897, has changed all that, and export ers who are familiar with the re quirements of the United States take care to send over only teas that meet the Government’s rigid requirements for purity and qual ity. We are obliged to reject only srhall quantities of tea these days. The Government examined more than 84,000,000 pounds in the fis cal year that ended June 30, 1930. Only about 207,000 pounds of tea was rejected because of inferior quality and only 360 pounds be cause the tea failed to meet the standards for purity.” GREENWOOD, S. C. THURSDAY and FRIDAY May 14th-15th Ann Harding Clive Brook and Conrad Nagel in “EAST LYNNE”’ SATURDAY, May l«tfi Buck Jones in “SHADOW RANCH” MONDAY and TUESDAY May 18th-19th Mary Pickford and Reginald Denny in “KIKI” WEDNESDAY, May 20th Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. Anita Page and Loretta Young In the laughing hit— “LITTLE ACCIDENT” -I-X- Cotton Needs Extra Nitrogen At Chopping It takes sunshine, rain, and good food to make a crop of cotton, and it is up to the fanner to keep the crop supplied with food. No better way of keeping cotton well fed has been found than side dressing with quick-acting nitro- gen-wabout chopping time.' This is the critical period in the life of the young plants. The nitrogen ap plied before planting is frequently used up by this time. As a result the yield frequently depends upon the supply of available nitrogen in the soil about 40 days after the cotton is planted. The common practice of side dressing is to use 100 to 200 pounds Chilean nitrate of soda per acre after chopping. The young plants can use the' nitrate nitrogen im mediately after it is applied. The extr# food keeps the plants work ing during tfie summer and helps them to mature a large crop of bolls on the lower branches before Ihe weevil arrives. txt Destroy The Canada Thistle To destrov Canada thistle, one of the worst farm weeds in the North, the U. S. Department of Ag riculture recommends V ivy ~hsd< crops such as alfalfa, clean culti vation of row crops, and in extrem cases continual cultivation of idle infested land. The first very smal patches that appear on a farm may be smothered by covering them for a year with old tin roofing, roofing paper, or similar material fasten ed down to exclude light complete ly. The spread of thistle plants may be prevented by cutting them, preferably below the surface, about the time the first thistle flowers appear and at required intervals thereafter to prevent seed ripen ing. x Grain For Beef Calves Many farmers'now feed a grain mixture to calves in the beef herd while they are running with their dams on pasture. This practice v means a quick turnover and is es pecially desirable where grade herds are maintained for beef pro duction in farming areas. Spring j calves fed a supplement on gras ^ j while nursing can be marketed in the fall when weaned at an' aver age weight of 500 pounds. Usually such beef calves of good; quality and finish are in good demand j and bring better returns than if j carried over another year or two. I WANT ADVS.
