what the real prospect of practical
television is, and I do not get much
encouragement for the belief that
it is “just around the comer.”
Many of my technical friends say
that the experimenters so far are
barking up the wrong tree, and
that some entirely new method will
have to be discovered or Invented.
It is possible today, with a good
deal of expense and trouble, to
send a motion picture by radio over
a short distance, so that it will ap

small screen. But that is quite a

still a boy, and was only 26 when
he was made the leader of that
great band, which furnishes the
music for the White House and for
all other great occasions in Wash
ington. As a boy in the Washing
ton High School cadet corps I re
member marching behind the Mar
ine Band on our annual parade up
Pennsylvania Avenue, while the
musicians played Sousa’s latest
composition, his still-popular “High
School Cadets March.”
I have heard all of the great
bands and have known many great
bandmasters, Gilmote, Innes,
Seidl, Creatore and a dozen more,
but I never expect to hear anyone
produce such authentic thrills from
brass and drums as could John
Philip Sousa.
TELEVISION—
There has been a lot said and
printed about television—seeing
things at a distance. Many peo
ple are expecting that before long
they will be able to iristal television
and they decidedly were not beau
tiful. But that, I was told, was
the secret. Beauty is out of date,
and things are not what they seem.
True art must show the ugly side of
life!
How much of that attitude on
the part of aspiring young artists
is pose and how much real I cannot
determine. I think it is a passing
phase, and that the end of art al
ways will be, as it always has been,
to achieve the beautiful. Nor will
the standards of beauty change in
a thousand years any more than
they have changed in the past two
thousand years. What was beau
tiful when built or carved or paint
ed by an artist of ancient Greece is
still beautiful and always will be.
MANPOWER—
With all of the unemployment,
good men, really first-rate men
who know their work and can be
relied upon to “deliver the goods,”
are as hard to find as ever. I was
in the office of a New York busi-
receivers and watch baseball games ness man the other day when his
and othef events without leaving! telephone rang. I could not help
their own firesides. I have been hearing his end of the conversa-
trying to find out, from engineers; tion.
and others in the radio industry, “There’ll be no trouble getting

the capital,” I heard him say, “if
the man you speak of is as good
as you say he is. % Capital’s easy
enough to get but manpower is not.
I wouldn’t put a cent into anything
that hasn’t the right sort of man
power behind it.”
That has always been true.
Firstrate manpower is scarce in ev
ery line of effort. The world is
full of secondraters, often holding
down first-rate jobs—for a while.
During the boom a great many sec
ond-rate and third-rate men ..k,J
to fill first-rate jobs, and that was
one of the causes of the economic
crash. There never has befen enough
first-rate manpower to do the
world’s work as well as it ought to
be done.
TASTE—
Ladies in limousines, dressed for
parties, wear French heels and de
collete gowns. Therefore, every
ignorant girl who wants to be tak
en for what she is not thinks she
must wear high heels v and low-
necked dresses to her work. They
never realize that persons of real
taste also have common-sense, and
don’t wear such garb except on for
mal occasions’
Perhaps the example which Mrs.
Hoover set, of wearing a cotton
gown to a formal party, will help
dispel the idea that to be taken
for a lady a girl must always wear
silk. Cotton fabrics today are as
beautiful and tasteful as anything
the silkworm ever produced, and it
would be a good thing for the poc-
ketbooks of the wage-earners and
for the growers and fabricators of
cotton if fashionable people should
set the style of dressing in cotton.

Sodding is the quickest way to
establish a lawn on a bank, though
this method is somewhat expensive.
To get good results with sod, it is
necessary to enrich and prepare the
soil before sodding. Water the
sod often. Sod on very steep
banks may slip and slide in the
spring. To prevent this, drive small
wooden pegs into the ground so
their tops are level with the sod.
COLUMBIA, March 14.—Among:
the 13 litters which completed the
180-day feeding period and made
a ton or more of pork in the 1931!
ton litter contest conducted under-
the county farm agents and the
extension animal husbandmen, the
10-pig litter of J. H. Thomas, Or
angeburg county, won first place
with a total weight of 2581 pounds*,
says J. R. Hawkins, extension ani
mal husbandman. This average
weight 'of 285 pounds per pig was
second heaviest average weight per
pig, the heaviest average being
made by the seven-pig litter of J_
H. Culler, Jr., another Orangeburg:
farmer, whose pigs averaged 304:
pounds.
Eleven pigs in a litter grown out
by Henry Lightsey, Hampton, won
second place in the contest, with
2823 pounds, or 256.6 pounds per
pig. The 12-pig litter of H. P. Lee*.
Clarendon, came third, 2720*
pounds; the 12-pig litter of R. J_
Salley, Orangeburg, fourth, 2662:
pounds; the 10-pig litter of B. F_
Kneisscn, Richland, fifth, 2495*
pounds; and the 12-pig litter of
Silas Walker, colored, Clarendon,
sixth, 2418 pounds.
Others in the contest making a
ton or more of pork per litter in
cluded Frank Cain, Sumter, 227f>
pounds on 10 pigs; Roy Bessinger,
Bamberg, 2212 pounds on 11 pigs;
J. M. Fogle, Orangeburg, 214&
pounds on 10 pigs; E. E. Stevens,.
Dillon, 2102 and 2097 pounds on two
litters of 10 pigs each; J. P. Mc
Gill, Williamsburg, 2040 pounds on
12 pigs.
The experience of the ton-litter
feeders in 1931 bears out again,
cays Mr. Hawkins, the good pur-*
pose of the work—to secure rapid
economic production by good feed
ing and management from birth;
for v/ithout exception these ton-
litter pigs showed a return for the
labor and other charges after pay
ing for the feed. The cost of gains,
ranged from $3.21 to $5.49 per
hundred pounds. The prize money,
donated by several Richmond com
mission merchants to stimulate in
terest in hog production, was there
fore used to good purpose.
-IX!-
Hogs Gaining Favor
With The Farmers
WALTERBORO, March 14.—That
Colleton farmers are becoming
more livestock-minded is shown,
says L. W. Alford, county farm
agent, by several outstanding facts
(1) That the equivalent of 17 car
loads of hogs were shipped out of
the county in 1931 as compared
with seven cars in 1930 and five in
1929; (2) that 14 fanners hogged
down some of their com while only
two or three used this economical
method of harvesting and market
ing corn in 1930; (3) that five
hog-feeding demonstration’s were
conducted in 1931 providing the
value and profits in balanced feed
ing; (4) that six purebred boars
and 19 registered sows were placed’
with farmers during the year to
improve and increase the hog pop
ulation of the county.
Regarding the shipment of hogs
to market Mr. Alford points out
that the 103 farmers shipping hogs
co-operatively received $12,278 and
he makes this comment: “Here
is $12,278 brought into the county
for 103 farmers that they had not
been receiving prior to 1929 whern
they had no county agents”
“Five men fed out a total pf 78’
hogs under the feeding demonstra
tion over a period of 99 days,” Mr:.
Alford continues. “These hogs
consumed 425 bushels of corn and
paid their owners an average price
of 98.5 cents per bushel for it, this
being exactly 22.5 cents per bushel
more than the current market
price. Moreover, the hogs^ saved
the labor of husking, shelling, sack
ing, and hauling to market; and
the hogs were sold at the farms
with no transportation cost to the
farmers.”
The hogging-down experiences
were in the late summer when com
was seilihg at 50 cents per bushel
or less, and the average price paid
by the 108 hogs involved was 85
cents per bushel, or 35 cents above
th? market price, which means a
t^ial profit of $133.70 for marketing
tfro 382 bushels thus consumed. And
they not only paid well for the
co n but they enriched the corn
f ds. The scores of other farm-
c ’ who have corn that is hard to
se-i at any price have here object
lessons well worth studying, Mr.
Alford concludes.
