You can do much to give attractiveness to such a room by using yellow curtains at the windows, yellow painted chairs—and yellow enam eled ware. Red enameled ware looks very well in a cream or yellow kitchen. Then red and white checked ging ham cyrtains at the windows would be in place, and red and white washable rugs where you have a comfortable rocking chair for the maid’s moments of rest. These colored enamel dishes are as easily kept clean as the white ones. They are really made in very lovely colors, too. Green you might use in a gray- walled kitchen, which should, like any gray-walled room, be sunny and bright. Green would also be attractive in a blue-walled kitchen with white woodwork. And if you go in for colored woodwork green could be used in the kitchen with green-painted woodwork. Here is a delicious pie crust that anyone can make. It has a rich “caramel-ly” taste.

Glenn E. Parrott, of Eutawville, who is one of the moving spirits of the con ference; Dr. E. W. Sikes, president of Clemson College; Dr. W. W. Long, director of the Extension Service; and various ministers and others present. Rev. Mr. Parrott presided. Mr. D. R. Coker, Harts- ville, who was to have made a talk at the conference, was unable to get there because of the snow storm. The need and the opportunity for a big job of building up a better rural life through the agency of the rural churches, the Extension Ser vice, the schools, and other forces was recognized and stressed. There is a close relationship, it was pointed out, between economic wel fare, satisfying living, and sipirit- ual development. Co-operation toward more scientific farming through better training of and old was seen as a big factor in the making of better communi- Some of the finest records made by 4-H club boys and girls are to be found in projects with dairy calves. In all of the leading milk breeds are to be found nice little herds owned by club members, past or present, which measure up in production to top-notch herds own ed by breeders and dairymen. Of the many instances of this sort two have just been brought to public attention by the annual award of the Holstein-Friesian Association of America. . In this award one boy and one girl each, enrolled in a regular club, is named national champion. Clarence Merchant of Cass City, Michigan, the present boy champ ion, has been in club projects for six years. His show ring winnings are numerous and included three championships. One of these was won‘on a young bull of his own breeding and in what is known as young i the open classes. That means he showed against regular breeders.

DILLON, March 5.—Two litters of ten pigs each fed profitably bal anced com rations in 1931 made L. L. Stevens, a Dillon county farmer, two tons of pork costing less than five cents per pound and paid him a dollar per bushel for the home grown corn used, says S. W. Epps, county farm agent, who gives Mr. Stevens’ experience as below. “One litter of ten pigs farrowed March 13. The other litter of ten farrowed March 18. The dams in both cases were good grade Duroc Jersey and Poland China sows while the sire was a purebred Po land China boar. The reebrd was started on day of birth and both litters were fed together. A self- feeder containing fish meal, cotton seed meal, and wheat shorts was kept before the hogs at all times, and at the end of the 180 days the litters weighed as follows: No. 1, farrowed March 13, 2,097 lbs. No. 2, farrowed March 18, 2,102 lbs. “The record of feed consumed shows: Tankage 800 lbs. Fish meal 800 lbs. Wheat shorts 1200 lbs.

Regarding the development of hpg raising in Dillon county Mr. Epps says: “In 1931 fifteen cars and a num ber of truck loads left the county for the market as.compared with five cars in 1930. We have also made improvement in the quality of hogs being raised. During 1929 we placed four purebred boars and seventeen purebred sows in the county, and 1930 we placed thir teen purebred boars and seven teen sows. In 1931 we placed eleven purebred boars and nineteen sows. These purebred hogs are now be ginning to show up on almost ev ery farm in the county and it won’t be long before a scrub or grade boar will be a thing of the past.” of melted fat.

TXT Top-Dressing Grain CLEMSON COLLEGE, Mar. 12.— Because of the warm winter and an unusual situation resulting as to growth of grain crops, much grain now very promising looking may suffer for lack of nitrogen at the critical stage of growth, says R. W. Hamilton, extension agronomist, who cautions farmers that it may or may not pay under present con ditions to top-dress grain with nit rogen of fertilizer. “During our normal winters,” Mr. Hamilton explains, “decomposition of organic matter in the soil which makes nitrogen available takes place very slowly and the major portion of the nitrogen is not lib erated for the use of the growing grain until March or April. This season this decomposition of the organic matter has been very rapid all winter. Consequently, the nitrogen that it contained has been made readily available to the plant and also readily leachable. The grain plants have used up the nitrogen in making a large growth, and that part not used up has been leached out. Consequently, it may be expected that much grain very promising looking at present time may suffer just when nitrogen is needed for filling out the grains in the head. . I, “Under normal price conditions for grain this conditiqn would make it very favorable and wise to top- dress with readily available nitro gen. Under present price condit ions, however, it may or may not be profitable to invest much money in top-dressing material. Where a farmer is growing grain just for his own use and has a sufficient acre age which at a low yield will give him an ample supply of grain to feed, it is doubtful whether he is justified in top-dressing. Where the acreage is small and high yields per acre must be obtained to furn ish the necessary amount of food, then it will pay to top-dress. Also on land that will not produce suf ficient heigth of stalk so that the grain may be harvested with ma chinery, it would be wise to top- dress,” Plans were considered for carry ing out the full original program of the conference at a later meet ing or meetings, and an invitation was accepted- to meet with the Or angeburg Methodist district con T ference at St. Matthews, May 19, using the rural ministers and lay men of that church then present as a nucleus and inviting all others interested to attend. Tentative plans were laid also for other reg ional gatherings on rural life prob lems, and for a statewide confer ence at Clemson College in the summer. x * tAYtSI A little knitted cap that looks like nothing at all unless you know how smartly it may be adjusted, and a scarf of knitted wool that would have looked rustic and any thing but fashionable a few years ago.

In this he enlist ed the co-operation of his father. There was not a pure bred hoof on the farm when Clarence began club work, but there are now 14 head. All but three are owned by the club boy. Besdes this the farm has been fitted up so that dairying can be carried on to the best advantage. Steel stanchions* and drinking cups have been installed in the bam, which has bee® overhauled. In dividual milk records are kept of each cow. They have a pUreb^d herd sire, and a modern bulj pen is planned for the best keeping, of the animal and for safety in hand ling him. You can imagine this farm family is looking to the fu ture with much interest and hope. , Tire girl champion is Betty Jane Rudy of Mattoon, Illinois. And she has a most unusual record. She is 17 and in the local high school, where she is a senior. Back in 1927 she began her club work with a lit tle pig, but took up a £airy calf the next year. Then she picked up speed and in the years intervening she had developed a herd which she values at $4,009.00. A sum mary of her show winnings in the four years totals 52 first prizes, 28 seconds and lesser prizes, also six championships. In her collection of prices is a silver cup and six gold medals. Betty Jane’s record in helping the club movement locally is as superior as her record as a calf club mem ber. She has organized or assist ed in organizing sevfen clubs in the county which have interested close to 75 boys and girls in projects. And she is not going to rest on her laurels. One of her ambitions is to develop her herd to the highest perfection of type and production. tXi ROOFING SALE Do your dwellings or out-houses need new roofs or repairing?

Turkey M^ehey Talk Pasture Improvement Easy And Inexpensive CLEMSON COLLEGE, Mar. 12.— Seeds for permanent pastures are cheaper this year than in recent years, a carpet grass and lespedeza mixture costing only about $2.50 per acre while three years ago the same seeding would have cost $5 to $7 per acre, says S. L. Jeffords, extension agronomist, advising far mers that seedings should be made by the middle of March if possible. | month or si* weks withoqt CLEMSON COLLEGE, Mar. 12^ Turkey hens don’t lay- early enough in the spring, afitf consequently many farmers over to hatch the desired number of*poults, each year because of ’the lack of eggs, says P. H. Gooding, extension ’ poultryman. But this shortcom- Y ing may be'remedied by proper feeding of the hens which will start laying in early March if feed is kept' before them. i, The same laying iftash * fed to chickens, Mr. Gooding advises, m. be fed to turkeys with goodUyfcsul Or a mash may be made up for the turkeys by using ^ne part % meat scraps to 'four parts com; dr one part each-of com, ground pats, and middlng or ground wheat. Tq, ad dition to the .mash, com should fed as a grain.- ' . Turkey hens well fed will produe a large number of eggs, which if not used may be sold a at a good profit, for usually there is a good demand for the eggs each.spring at 15 to 2Q*cents each. y. By hatching the turkey eggs in an incubator and brooding the poults with artificial heat, the hens may be kept laying for a longer period each season, Mr. Gtooding; suggests. The eggs may .be ke 1 ■ jpt scarf is made in a straight long strip or with the ends slightly laring as in the usual ascot scarf. Usually there are stripes of bright, contrasting colors arranged so that ;hey meet at an angle down the center of the scarf. Sometimes only two colors are combined or there may be three. Red, green and brown is a smart combination that goes well with a brown coat or dress. Or you may choose two ;ones of green and one of brown, or ?reen with beige and brown, or brown with Spanish tile. The smartness of these new knit ted hats depends of course to a great extent on the way they are worn and every girl must do a lit tle experimenting to see exactly how to tilt her own hat in the most becoming manner. Usually they are drawn down on the right side, showing much of the fore head and some of the hair at the left side, Ten to 12 pounds of carpet grass and 25 to 30 pounds of lespedeza per acre broadcasted are suggested by Mr. Jeffords, who reminds us that a bushel of carpet grass weighs about 18 pounds and a bushel of lespedeza about 25 pounds. The carpet grass and lespedeza, he warns, should not be mixed but should be sown separate ly on the same piece of land to get proper distribution of the two. As to varieties, Mr. Jeffords states that either the native grown or the imported Australian carpet grass may be used, whichever is cheapest. For parmanent pas tures and on small grain for graz ing purposes the common or Jap anese lespedeza should be used, and this seed need not be guaranteed free of dodder when thus used. X There was one place where bug gy-riding had it* on auto-joy rid ing. If you had to walk home there wasn’t so much territory to j cover, ing their hatchability. Regarding the handling x>f - turkeys Mr. Gooding, stages poults may be brooded and J led the>.same as chicks. Abof poults can be kept in a house 10" 12 feet until they no longer neei heat.
