ppointments or will we profit by
past mistakes and make this a bet
ter year than the one gone? New
Year -resolutions are great if kept,
but broken promises will' be blots
on the New Year. We can all be ai
little more thoughtful of those
around us and do a little jnore for
the “Shut ins,” be a little more res
pectful of parents, teachers and
oiaer people. It will not cost much
and may mean a great deal to our
selves to take stock of our lives as
we take stock of goods on, the
shelves. Those who are not mer
chants may join this stock taking
NONE too. Every business can take stock.
If the dust is brushed off we can
see more clearly we may find our
selves indebted to some one for
some kindness we can repay. We
start this year with the same God
to guide us that has lead us to
success in the past and will again
if we give Him a square deal.

We hear more this year than
usual about the age old custom of
hog jowl and peas for New Year
dinner. Some packers say they
sell hog jowl only once a year for
New Year dinner, and people feel
the need of' prosperity. Hear of
one who ate peas for dinner and
found a dime immediately in the
road.
Not much news in this neck of
the woods, weather colder, getting
ready for butchering of some huge
hogs in this section. ,
We hear of quite a few losing
meat this winter.
There is a section of this com

Som£ Livestock Hints
I'd Otserve In January
CLEMSON COLLEGE, Jan. 2.—To
help get the new year started
right with livestock, Prof. L. V.
Starkey, chief of animal husband
ry, C. G. Cushman, extension dairy
specialist,' and P. 'H. Gooding, ex
on poultryman, give below
rlef timely hints on care and
nagement of cattle, hogs, and
eep; dairy cows; and poultry.
Animal Husbandry
Give the ewes shelter from rain
d ample legume hay.
Treat for worms sheep that are
times on the wide points of the
rever/ sometimes on the tie part of
the scarf that goes with them.
The embroidery may be of self
color or of contrasting color—all
the colors of the fashion rainbow,
and they are many, may be used.
For bright color is one of the smart
details of this year's fashion.
Revers are usually double. In
that case the embroidery is done
before the two thicknesses of ma
terial are put together. The em
broidery can then be pressed from
the wrong side. And the lining or
facing of the rever covers the ugly
under-side of the work and makes
a smooth, attractive finish.

Education Cost
Is $3,200,000,000
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan.,2.—
Education of American youth cost
$3,200,000,000 last year.
This sum, the federal office of
education announced today, was
spent on 29^65,608 boys and girls
and young men and women v
A total of 1,029,000 teachers were
employed, approximately one to
each 29 pupils.
The enrollment in public elemen
tary schools was 21,211,325, public
high schools 4,354,815, institutions
of higher learning 1,099,468, private
schools and parochial schdOls, both

Elementary school enrollment
dropped from 21,270,000 for 1930
while the number attending high
school increased *from 4,030,000.
An appreciable decrease in first

January Farm
Calendar Of Timely
Suggestions
CLEMSON COLLEGE, Jan. 1.—
In field and orchard and garden
there are many important things to
do toward the success of 1932 farm-
l
ing operations, say Extension Serv-
^ice specialists, and sdlhe of these
are listed below by R. W. Hamilton
Jtfor agronomy, E. H. Rawl for horti
culture, J. T. McAlister for agricul
tural etagiheering, Alfred Lutken
for insects and diseases, and Ned
Prevost for bees.'
Agronomy
Be sure your planting seed for
1932 will produce staple at least one
inch in length. A one-cent prem
ium for better staple with cotton
at' six cents means an increased
value of 16 1-2 cents.
t
If sufficient grain was not plant
ed during fall to meet farm needs,
plant this month, weather permit
ting.
Clean up hedge rows and wood
patches between fields.
Horticulture
Prepare hotbeds and coldframes
for cabbage, tomato, pepper, etc.
Plant English peas, if soil in con
dition.
Prepare land for Irish potatoes,
and order certified se§d.
Prune fruit trees preparatory to
spraying with lime-sulphur.
Plant fruit trees at once, if soil
in condition. ,
Dig, separate, and reset canna
roots not dug last fall.
Prune deciduous ornamentals
severely at transplanting.
Agricultural Engineering
Plan to lower production costs
in 1932 by efficient use of labor
power, and machinery.
Build implement shed and farm
shop for better care of equipment.
Make more efficient use of land
and machinery by rearranging
fields, removing stumps, construct
ing terraces, etc.
Include more fencing ih the 1932
program.
Insects and Diseases
Continue cleaning orchards to
destroy fallen fruit and limbs.
Prune grapes to remove and burn
disease-harboring vines.
Plan to treat tobacco seed before
sowing. *
Continue clean-up of trash about
edgfes of fields and gardens to kill
hibernatipg insects.
Do not burn woods to control
insects.
Burn fallen severed pecan twigs
to.help to control beetles*
Put spraying outfit in order for
dormant spray for San Jose scale
and diseases.
Fumigate with carbon disulphide
to save grain, peas, and beans.
Bees
Clean beeyards of rubbish and
dry grass by plowing—with care
not to hit the hives.
VClean hives where the bees have
died and stack under shelter.
If bees are not located right,
move now.

Soil specialists of the Bureau of
Chemistry and Soils say that it is
well te build terraces on farm land
subject to washing as soon as the
land is put into cultivation.

tomato and orange juice, egg, cer-
i als. and pureed vegetables besides
their milk, and as their capacity
for digesting coarser materials in
creases other foods and dishes
are added to their diet. In the
past, mistaken ideas, passed along
in families and communities, have
kept many good foods out of the
child’s menu.
Different foods must be eaten to
supply the various needs of active
growing children. No one food or
single type of foods fqmishes ev
erything the child should have to
build and repair muscles and bones,
teeth, and red blood cells, to in
crease resistance to .disease, keep
the^ body in good Running order
and provide energy. When some
fer is are always left out of th^
nr'iu, bodily trtiubles ievelop and,
th' child has a poor'physical start!
in life. The easiest waj to'
su i of most of the needed nutri-?
ent 3 in the family diet is to pro-.
Vide a well-selected variety.
There are also psychological re^_
sons for giving the child a variety
of foods. When he takes pjeas^g
in his meals he eats welj-a
food fulfills its purpose. Yarie
is obtained not . only by using
ferent foods from to time, b
preparing and serving t
lerent wats and offer

Little Theater Opera—
The Little Theater movement is
very strong in New York and has
an important effect on similar
companies in qther cities. Five
years ago the movement was
broadened out to take in light op
era and many creditable presenta
tions are now given here every
winter.
One of the best of these is the
Opera Comique, which presents
many of the less known comic op
eras. . One of their recent operas
was Albert Lortzing’s “The Poach
er.” The company claims this was
the first time the opera had been
produced in this country in Eng
lish.
Encourages Talent—
The comic operas are great
things to develop American talent,
particularly operas like “The
Poacher.V The score does not
make too great a demand upon
voices, in the matter of difficult
singing, while it affords .ample
scope for those with pleasing
voices. The cast we heard consist
ed of well-trained singers who went
through their roles splendidly.
Such operas give budding singefs
a chance to become familiar with
stage work and earn money at the
same time. In Europe, nearly ev
ery small city has an opera com
pany from whose ranks are drawn
the famous singers who eventually
appear at the Metropolitan and
Chicago Civic Opera Houses in this
country. For a few years it looks as
though these light operas in Eng
lish will have to serve as the prov
ing ground for most of our own
young singers. Many an American
girl and boy has risen to operatic
fable through a start in such conk-
•>anies. ,
A Great Show—
One of the annual events on
Broadway is the balloon parade
staged by TJony Sarg for one of the
large department stores here. This
year the parade was nearly half a
mile long and consisted of such
characters as a fifty-foot hippo
potamus, Felix the Cat, almost as
large, Happy Hooligan and other
noted comic strip characters.
The balloons, which require ten
to thirty men to hold them down,
are filled with non-explosive hel
ium gas. At the finish of the par
ade they are released and belong to
the finders, some of them being
found from 200 to 300 miles away.
Rewards of $25 each are paid for
the return of the larger balloons.
Clarence Chamberlain, the aviator
won one of the prizes this year by
spearing one of the balloons with
the wing of his plane.
