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.

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. |
