CLEMSON COLLEGE, Feb. ,:3.—
The low general level of food prices

and fruit crops, the production of
high quality produce at low co^ts
is becoming more important than
ever, points out E. _i.

any considerable increase in acre-

Prices of sweet potatoes have
been low but not as low as the av
erage price of all farm commodir
ties. In the production of an even
larger proportion than usual of the
food needed by their families and
tenants, farmers should give sweet
potatoes an important place; but
farmers who grow for market
should look carefully to production
costs and quality of produce. South
Carolina appears to be in a favor
able position for the production of
green sweet potatoes, especially
Big Stem Jerseys, if they can be
ready for late July or early- Au-^
gust harvesting to avoid competi
tion from other sections.
Despite the large 1931 crop of
peaches and low prices, a moderate
increase in planting of peach orch
ards during the next several years
seems justifiable, for two-thirds of
the commercial bearing trees are at^
age of maximum yield and new
plantings in recent years have
been small.
Asparagus growers were perhaps
in more favbrable positions by the
end of the 1931 season than grow

ABILITY—
I think we are coming toward the
end of the time when incompetence
could “put itself, over” by blatant
advertising of inferior products.
People are not buying poor quality
products now, and are not so ready
to believe what plausible promoters
tell them. It is going to be hard
er, for a few years at any rate, for
swindlers to sell worthless stocks
and bonds, and for self-styled, art
ists to palm off their socalled
“modern” paintings and sculptures
as real works of art.
Ability is going to come into its
own again. The principal trouble
with the nation and the world to
day is that second-rate and third-
rate men have been ballyhooed as
first-raters and getting away with
it.
HOUSING—
Lewis 1 Mumford, distinguished
New York architect, says that the
home has again, become the family
recreational center, and that the
home of the future must be much
more comfortable and beautiful.
At the Museum of Modern Art
many other architects have shown
that they agree with him, exhibit
ing pictures and models of houses
designed to meet modern condit
ions, some of which are actually
built or building.
Glass is used liberally, both for
outer walls and partitions, giving
every room ample air and sunlight.
Homes built in rows, if properly
planned, are now held to give more
privacy than detached houses, and
they cost less to build. Soundproof
walls are insisted- upon. Large liv
ing rooms facing gardens, and
kitchens built to save labor are re
garded as essential,
utilized for recreation in the cities
and towns of the future, and all
homes will have ample balconies
oesides.
Some of the plans and pictures
of these modern homes look odd to
eyes accustomed to conventional
forms, but I find young minds ac
cepting them enthusiastically. This
first international exhibition of
modern architecture is to be
shown in Philadelphia, Hartford,
Los Angeles, Buffalo, Cleveland,
Milwaukee, Cincinnati, Toledo,
Rochester, Worcester and Cam
bridge, after it closes in New York
on March 23, and it will be worth
making a trip to see.
MORTGAGES—
The safest investment in the
world, according to Joe Day, is a
first mortgage up to not over 60
per cent of its actual value, on an
owner-occupied dwelling house
anywhere in the United States.

Hens, Cows, Hogs Gain
In Favor In Allendale
ALLENDALE, Feb. 3.—As prom
ising factors in the trend toward a
greater variety of cash returns,
poultry raising, farm dairying, and
feeding of hogs are taking a more
important place in this county
than heretofore, as shown in facts
and figures from V. M. Johnston,
county farm agent, who sees un
mistakable signs that farmers
hereabout are becoming more live
stock-minded.
Following a poultry short course
held in the county last year, new
interest was shown in poultry and
particularly in home-mixing of
feeds, Mr. Johnston reports, and 15
tons of feeds were so handled
through the agent's co-operation
with a group of farmers at a saving
of $250. With good feed mixtures
the White Leghorn flock of S. M.
Rice, Allendale, led the state in egg
production during three months;
and so did John G. Bramlet, Fair
fax, whose flock of 445 hens re-
Roofs will be turned a labor income of $1.58 per
hen or $743.49, for the year.
The cream station, established’at
Allendale by Summerland Cream
ery in the fall of 1931, through co
operation of the Extension Service
and The Allendale Citizen, an en
ergetic promoter of more livestock,
has furnished a direct outlet for
sour cream and has thus stimulat
ed greater interest in farm dairy
cows and better feeding. As a re
sult Mr. Johnston reports 35 to 40
cream patrons selling over 6d0
pqunds of cream weekly, and points
out that not only small farmers
but large farmers are shov/ing sus
tained interest in* this source of
revenue. A sale of dairy bulls
brought seven more purebred sires
into the county to improve the
quality of dairy animals.
As to hogs, 15 feeder's of 300 hogs
were object lessons in the value of
balanced-ration feeding as a
means through which to sell sur
plus corn and other feedstuffs. In
