day afternoon at the home of Mrs.
T. J. Price to the Ann Carter Chap

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,

ows of veterans.
A motion made and carried that

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.

Smart Set Adopts
Cotton Frocks For .
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.

intensive course, beginning on May
18th, on the diagnosis and treat
ment of tuberculosis.
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.”

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.”

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.

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.

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
