S. STROM Mil in Street McCormick, S. C. REFRESHMENT— In my New England boyhod a sign frequently seen on country taverns was “Refreshment for Man and Beast.” You could feed your horses and yourself at the same time. Horses have given place to the automobile and the filling sta tion takes the place of the wagon- shed, while the food obtainable along the highways varies. With everything else becoming standardized the movement to standardize roadside food stations sp that the motorist can be sure, before trying his luck, of what he is going to get, was bound to come, j One of the big oil companies, oper ating its own gasoline filling sta tions, has made a deal with a large restaurant organization which op erates a chain of eating places in many parts of the country. Light lunches of good quality and real coffee are to be served at the fill ing stations. I can think of noth- ing better calculated to encourage motor touring. GOLD— With their money depreciated and their nation off the gold standard, the people of England are showing their patriotism by turning in their gold jewelry and orna ments to be melted up for money. One noble duke gave up his. cor onet, worth $50,000 in coin but many times that in sentimental as sociation. Of course, the people who are doing this get the bullion value of their gold in the form of bank notes, but it strengthens tneir na tion’s financial position because it puts the gold where it can be weighed and counted as a basis for currency, which is impossible when it is in private hands. Gold is useless except as a basis of money. The debate on the Glass-Steigad bill, just enacted, disclosed the fact that only a part of America’s gold reserve, the larg est in the world, was available for monetary purposes, owing to a de fect in the original Federal Reserve law. The new law remedies that defect, and we won’t have to give up our coronets, yet awhile, to keep our currency issues up in suf ficient volume for business needs. SILVER— Talk about restoring silver to its place as a basis of money is being heard everywhere. ’File latest move in this direction is the intro duction in Congress by Representa tive Somers of Brooklyn of a reso lution for an international confer ence on silver. I am not sure that I agree with my friend Rene Leon, regarded as the foremost authority on silver, that the demonetization of silver by the British government in India in 1926 is at the bottom of all of the world’s present economic trouble, but I do believe that the legalization of silver, up to a rea sonable per centage of gold, as a basis for currency, would help to stabilize finance and business. At any rate, as I have often said before in this column, silver is something interesting to watch. DUCKS— It looks as if the Twentieth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States would be one which would change the date of Presidential inaugurations and eliminate “lame ducks” from Con gress. As things are now, we elect a new President and Congress in November but their term of office does not begin until March 4 the next year. In the meantime, the old Congress holds a session in which defeated members, known as “lame ducks,” still sit. This is a hangover from the old stage-coach, horseback days of slow travel. It used to take three or four months to get to Washing ton. Both houses of Congress have agreed to submit a Constitutional amendment making January 3 the date for Congress to meet with only the newly-elected members sitting, and the new President to take office on January 20 instead of on March 4. This probably cannot become ef fective before 1936, as it is not like ly enough states will ratify it put it into force for 1932. AMERICA— While the “Star-Spangled Ban ner” is the official national an them of the United States, many people can sing “America,” the familiar song beginning “My coun try, ’tis of thee.” That was writ ten jus t 100 years ago, in 1832, by the Rev. Samuel Francis Smith, who was then a theological student. He discovered an old German tune in a collection of hymns, and in half an hour had written the words which are still sung, to fit the tune. It was not until some time after wards that the same tune was ad opted in England for the national anthem, “God save the King.” IRON— A hundred years ago New Eng land mines and furnaces were pro ducing pig iron and getting a cent a pound for it. Seventy-five years ago Pittsburgh began to be the iron center, selling castings for three cents a pound. Fifty years ago New England found a way of get ting ten cents a pound for iron, making it into machinery. Iron masters of today get fifty cents a pound for their watch- springs and pressed steel alloys. Every advance in the art of fab ricating iron yields a higher price for the finished product. - The new alloys, stainless steel, chrome- plated sheets, are being made into new art forms which bring the 1 price of iron to the user up to a dollar or more a pound. Every step away from the raw materials of existence raises the ^concmic standard of living. The more labor goes into the iron, the more persons are employed; the higher the price of the finished product, the more that labor can earn. The most backward nations are those which use chiefly unfab ricated natural products. The most advanced ones are those which put the most labor into the goods they consume. JEWS— The Jewish Agricultural Society has been engaged for years in the effort to induce Jewish families to become farmers. Today there are 100,000 of them in America, living solely or chiefly on the land. Most of these Jewish fanners live in colonies of their own people. They are a clannish race and they co-operate well. They are also good business men, as a rule, and make a living and more when their non-Jewish neighbors are running behind. The latest development of this sort is the establishment of “agro industrial” communities, near enough to large cities to enable some of the family to work in town, while the others culitvate the land. I think this solution of the industrial problem is one that is worth developing. txt Soys Best Hog Forage Wideman Schoo Honor Roll For Month February ■* V? Blease Edmunds Jim Spence Fred Edmunds Robert Edmunds Daisy Edmunds William Bowick Janie Lou Spence James Edmunds Claude Bowick Douglass Shannon Bennie Wideman Mary Sue Wideman Raymond Edmunds Hubert Bowick IXt CLEMSON COLLEGE, March 5.— Declaring that the soybean is prob ably the best forage crop for hogs for summer grazing in South Caro lina, Prof, L. V. Starkey, chief of animal husbandry, advises the grazing of soybeans while they are green. “Until recently hogs were not turned on soybeans until the seeds were mature,” says Mr. Starkey. “This was a big mistake for three reasons: (1) Mature beans make soft pork; (2) When only nature are grazed, the grazing season is greatly shortened; (3) Not as much pork can be produced per acre if the beans are grazed mature rath er than green. According to ex perimental data accumulated at Clemson College, also at the Coast Station at Summerville, green soy beans furnish a very satisfactory forage and afford a means of pro ducing firm pork economically. “So far as is known now the best variety of soybean to use is the Biloxi, which should be planted about April 1. The stage of growth at which hogs should be turned on is a matter of opnion, but it is be lieved that when soybeans are 12 inches high is the best time. It is better to plant the beans in rows rather than broadcast. Care should be taken not to plant the beans very deep, especially on clay §oils. As a matter of fact, they should be barely covered. They should be cultivated two or three times to keep them clean and stim ulate growth.” Prof. .Starkey states that spring pigs turned on green soybeans and full fed corn with a protein supple ment should be ready for market by September. H6 cites the ex perience of Thomas Traywick, of | Cope, Orangeburg county, who has ' been able in this way to make his to pigs weigh 200 pounds in a little 1 over five months, while as a gener- 1 al rule it takes six to seven months to make hogs weigh 200 pounds. | VtffY 61/MARY MARSHALL Here is a new way to arrange a scarf and it is such a simple trick that we wonder why no one ever thought of it before.
