It is the age of col or. Those who have lagged will have to catch up. We may ex pect s"on to see the streets crowd ed with delivery wagons tastefully finished in cherry, orange, gold, lemon, apple-gteen, purpib, henna, lavender and elephant’s breath. The movement may naturally spread to the big, heavy-duty trucks rumbling along the high ways. It might be a strategic thing, as well as an artistic thing, for them tc doll up. Adorned in rainbow hues, plus modem im provements on those hues, they might arouse less wrath on the part of automobiles unable to get past them. A 1 baffled motorist should have something to look at. -— iXt Jersey Sale Satisfying THIRTY-THREE FINE ANIMALS AVERAGING $107.53 BOUGHT BY S. C. FARMERS This Week by Arthur Brisbane Up in the Air-Ocean Rome Sends Bad News A Great U. S. Flyer Cash for Three Things Men deal with two oceans, one above the other, of water and of air. In one, we die if submerged too long, in the other, fishes die. For centuries men have been fa miliar with the ocean of water, in venting legends about it, diving into it for pearls, sailing over it for com merce, a^d recently men have explored it in diving bells. GREENWOOD, May 29.—The n3 young Jerseys, carefully selected from 23 South Carolina breeders by a painstaking sales committee, were sold at an average of $107.53 at the fifth annual sale of the South Carolina Jersey Cattle Club in. Greenwood, May 26. A top price ef $300 was paid by J. E. Gamble, Manning, for Rower’s Masterman Duchess second, and competent judges declare that all the animals, were noticeably higher in quality than at previous sales. A silver loving cup was awarded to R. P. Now Professor Piccard, courageous scientist, takes his “diving heir' in the other direction, upward. In an air-tight round bull, supplied with oxygen for artificial breathing, at tached to a balloon, Professor Piccard went up to investigate the strato sphere, near the top of our air ocean. He broke the record for height by 12,(XX) feet, going up 52,500 feet, and risking his life. If the balloon had not come down, he and his assistant, Charles Kipfer, must have suffocated. They had a narrow escape as it was. For the first two miles the scientific “climbing f bell” went up through the layer of clouds, storms and changing temperatures that lies close to the earth, at the “bottom” of our air-ocean. Higher up the temperature fell to 135 degrees below zero, still “warm” as compared to absolute zero outside of our atmosphere, more than 400 de grees below zero. In the upper air a wind blows stead ily from the east, caused by the earth’s movement. No storms or clouds up there. And far up the sun and stars shine in a sky .jet black, due to the fact that there is no dust in that high atmos phere. Without dust, so plentiful on the ••bottom” of the air, the sky would be always black, there would be no rainfall, and we should probably not be here. Professor Piccard will have inter esting things to tell bis fellow scien tists, who look upon his escape from death as a miracle. No monument will be built to him, of course, because be only went up in the interest of science. If he had gone up to kill somebody or destroy a whole <*i:y be would have a large monument.

Queen Mary attends to her business and sets a good example, from her old-fash ioned hats to her old-fashioned shoes, h from her kindly, but always dignified expression to the long skirts that come J down to her ankles.

Ad English lady who had devoted her life to horse racing orders her relatives to cremate her body and scatter the ashes on the racetrack.

X. Y. Z. X ier, county agent of Darlington, in 1929 on 12 fields where careful records were kept show that three applications of molasses poison kept the average weevil infesta tion down to 5.7 per cent during the period of July 1 to July 29. For the same period in unpoisoned check fields the average infesta tion was 32.1 per cent. The Pee Dee Experiment station obtained a profit of $8.86 per acre from one applicaticn of the 1-1-1 mixture and $12.52 per acre from four applications of the same poi son. Cost of calcium arsenate and molasses sufficient to pcison one acre three times is less than one dollar this year, Mr. Hamilton states. \ Reduced Production Cost Be Seen On Tour Protect Early Squares For Cotton Profit^ CLEMSON COLLEGE, Tune 2.-- There is no assurance or indica tion that the boll weevil will not damage South Carolina cotton this year, says R. W. Hamilton, exten sion agronomist, who urges that the highest possible yield at the lowest cost per acre should be ob tained. As proof of the wisdom of pre paring to protect early squares with the 1-1-1 molasses poison. Mr. Hamilton cites the following cases: Results obtained by J. M. Nap- CLEMSON COLLEGE, May 30.— A method of reducing production cost will be ceen on the third an nual power farming tour that routes cut of Columbia, June 10 and 11. Visits will be made to ten or twelve power farming demon strations in Richland, Sumter, and Kershaw counties, with perhaps a stop at the Sandhills Experiment Station, the first clay, and in Cal- :oun, Orangeburg, and Barnwell counties the second day. Farmers conducting uiese dem onstrations have set aside a def inite acreage of row crops, such as corn, cotton, and soybeans and are doing all the work from land prep aration through cultivation with a general tractor with suitable at tachments and keeping records on the cost of operation. There are more than a 100 such outfits at work in the state this year, 29 of these being supervised by the Ex tension Service as demonstrations. A wind shield sticker will be provided each car for identifica tion purposes. Those desiring to go on ’the tour should get iri touch with their county farm agents.
