Poison was put out, but the mice seemed to like the bark of the trees bet- , ter than the bait. In. plots on the Lincoln National Forest in New Making This Year’s Cotton Cheaply COLUMBIA, May 30.—“That far- mers are producing this year’s cot ton crop cheaply is proved by the history of expenditures of cotton farmers and their purchases of fertilizers over a series of years,” said F. H. Daniel, president of The Federal Land Bank of Columbia, here today. “It is estimated by the United States Department of Agriculture that, on the average, about one-tenth of the returns from the cotton crop represents the expenditures, for fertilizer in the crop-producing states in the following year. During the rise in the price of cotton and seed from 1915 to 1919, expenditures for fertilizer increased almost in di rect proportion; likewise from 1921 to 1925. They also followed the prices of cotton down from 1919 to 1921 and in 1925. Fortunately for ^he farmers, the price of fertilizers this year was low, so farmers were able to obtain supplies for rela tively small expenditures. The amount so expended probably con tinued to bear a direct relation to the low returns from the 1929 cot ton crop, thus contributing mater ially to the strenuous effort which is being made throughout the south to produce a crop the bulk line of cost of which will be below th* average price to be received. “Although farming is a con tinuous business and farmers must carry on and can not close their ‘factories’ temporarily, they have many ways, besides tightening the well-known belt, to (Cut down cost of production and continue to make a living,” asserted Mr. Daniel. “Home production of milk, meat, poultry, eggs and garden truck contribute mightily to the success of farming. With farms selling at present prices the overhead which should be charged against produc tion can be materially reduced. Fortunately, here in the south, there is a low ratio of debt to the value jot farms mortgaged when compared with the ratio through out the United States,” he con cluded. X Test Selects Potatoes Which Make Good Chips Commencement At Newberry College STARTS ON SUNDAY MORNING, JUNUE 7TH The girl" of today is so afraid Mexico, the exclusion of rodents .he will become the girl ot y?rter- meant the survival of three to five tbat she tries to become the times as many Douglas' Fir seed- girl of tomorrow. ! Ungs as on unprotected plantings. Specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture have devised a simple method for select ing storage potatoes which will make good chips or French fries. A test for the soluble sugars in po tatoes is the key that unlocks the secret of their culinary qualities, since an excessive amount of these sugars produces a discoloration in French fries and chips and - a sweetness in baked or boiled pota toes that is distasteful to some people. Potatoes stored at temperatures ranging from 32 degrees to 15 de gress Fahrenheit accumulate cer tain soluable sugars as a result of the breakdown cf "tarch. In gen eral, the lower the storage tem perature the greater the amount of soluble sugars and the darker the color of the chips. To make the test, a sample from the center of the potato is placed in a yellow solution of picric acid and sodium carbonate in a small test tube and heated over the flame cf an alcohol lamp until it boils for ope-half minute. Samples from potatoes that have not been stored at too low tem peratures change the color of the solution to an orange yellow, but the excessive amount of sugars in tubers stored at low temperatures changes the color to a deep red or brown. This test has proved satisfactory in selecting potatoes for chip mak ing, French frying, baking, and un der certain conditions for boiling. It was designed especially for chip manufacturers, who must have potatoes with a low content of soluble sugars. The test is so simple, since it involves only a smal^ portable outfit, that it can be used by buyers for hotels and restaurants where ther.e is a de mand for high-grade mealy cooked The 1931 commencement pro gram of Newberry College will be gin with the baccalaureate sermon at the Lutheran Church of the Re deemer on Sunday morning, June 7.

LONG SAYS GREATEST OP PORTUNITY FOR INTELLI GENT FARMERS COLUMBIA, June 1.—“The great est opportunity for many years to come is now being offered in South Carolina farm land values to the man who will farm intelligently,” said Dr. W. W. Long, director of the extension service of the Clemson Agricultural College in an inter view today. “Land is selling at prices which mean a permanent ly low overhead expense to pur chasers and upon this investment it is possible to make a good re turn if the right kind of farming is practiced and the products arc marketed wisely. Further. I do not recall when farms could be acquir ed upon such easy terms. Also, there never was a time when so much valuable aid in farming could be had from our extension service “South Carolina soils are easily worked and there is no climate nore favorable to the production of crops than our own. Person- illy. I harvest six to eight varieties of vegetables from my garden ev ery month in the year, and I am no exception in this community. We have more soil-building crops in this state than adjoining states and it is easier to buil^ our soils.” continued Dr. Long. “We can and do grow easily the following soil builders: rye, vetch, crimson and red clovers, alfalfa, ooy beans, eow- peas, velvet beans and Austrian field peas. Also, because of these leguminous forage crops and a plentiful supply of cotton seed meal, we can produce dairy oro- iucts as cheaply as any part of the United States. “We are now conducting a state wide survey, in co-operation with the Federal Farm Board, to deter- BE ECONOMY and QUALITY Economy often times means the neglect of quality but not so with our foodstuffs.
