COLUMBIA, April 12.—“Iodine horses, trained in South Carolina” was the legend borne by banners carried by the si* cars of fine uorses trained in Columbia ' this season, which left on Sunday morn ing for the Northern race tracks. ‘The quality of South Carolina feedb has been so forcefully dem- on»rated that horses from here have come to be labeled by the sporting writers as ‘The Iodine Horses”, said Carl J. Nagle, man ager of the Buxton stables, as the special train left the Fair Grounds. “The horses trained here have been so successful in possessing that ex tra indefinable something,” said Mr. Buxton, “that the enrollment has grown here until South Caro lina now recognizes the winter training of horses as one of its pro fitable sources of procuring busi ness, with outside capital left with in the State and distributed to ev ery line of business from the farm er to the merchants and amuse ments. Aiken has become the center of show horses and polo interests, Camden goes in for steeplechasing, and Columbia, with the best track Taxpayers’ League To Meet Saturday The McCormick County unit of The Farmers’ and Taxpayers’ League will meet at the court house here Saturday morning, April 16th, at 10 o’clock, on matters of importance.

Paper gets its name from the »dd, papyrus, which grows in Egypt and Asia Minor. X Hybrid plants often produce production is important to a great er degree than usual, the Exten sion Service econmists have ar ranged to help farmers discover better organization and production practices, says O. M. Clark, exten sion farm management economist. . “It is practically impossible,” Mr. Clark thinks, “to determine simply by superficial observation the best organization and production prac tices for particular farms. As a means of assisting farmers in de termining the most profitable farm organization and production prac tices for their respective conditions, the Agricultural Economics Divi sion of the South Carolina Exten sion Service has prepared a farm account book for distribution to the farmers of this state. The book is simple but will give all the information necessary for a thor ough analysis of a farm business. As far as time will permit, members of the Agricultural Economics Divi sion will assist farmers in getting started with these farm accounts. “At the end of the year the rec ords will be summarized and an alyzed by the Agricultural Eco nomics Division, calling attention to such weaknesses in the different farm businesses as may be indi cated by the records, and the books returned to the farmers concerned. Of course, in all cases the records of the farm businesses analyzed will be treated confidentially. These farm account books may be obtained from the county agents or by writing directly to the Agricul tural Economics Division of the Ex- * fruit than either parent, j tension Service, Clemson College. * The weather man’s vocabulary is free from weasel words. Each word in the daily forecasts is terse and definite description of a constantly recurring weather con dition. Although many of these terms, such as “warmer,” “colder, “light frost,” and “fog,” can have but one meaning, others apparently convey different ideas to different people. To clear up this confus ion, E. B. Calvert, of the Weather Bureau, United States Department of Agriculture, tells just what the forecaster means when he makes his announcements for the press and the radio. “Clear,” Mr. Calvert points out, signifies not only no rain, snow, or sleet ahead, but a sky practically free from clouds, while “fair,” also promising no precipitation, does not exclude some clouds from the sky. The term “generally fair” weather, he says, is employed in connection with forecasts for relatively large areas, and while there may be some cloudiness and possibly light pre cipitation in scattered places, clear to partly cloudy skies will prevail over most of the area. From “partly cloudy,” indicating no precipitation but some cloudi ness, the forecaster has intermed iate terms to “rain,” a warning of precipitation for a comparatively long portion of the period to which the forecast applies. These inter vening terms are (1) “increasing cloudiness”—a sky at first clear or partly cloudy, becoming overcast, or a sky at first nearly overcast with thin, high clouds, followed by inter mediate and low clouds; (2) “most ly cloudy”—a sky overcast, but with occasional breaks of relatively long duration; (3) “cloudy”—an overcast sky, with no precipitation: (4) “un settled”—much cloudiness, but very little or no precipitation; and (5) “threatening”—overcast sky, with dark lowering clouds, but pre cipitation unlikely. Rainfall at infrequent intervals and not prolonged is announced as “occasional rain”; intermittent rainfall of comparatively short dur ation as a “shower.” The weather man uses the term “snow” to denote snowfall of rela tively long duration, “occasional snow” for snowfall at infrequent intervals, and “snow flurries” for very light intermittent snowfall. m MARY MARSilA uL Nothing could be simpler than the construction of a coolie coat. It can be made entirely in one piece or sleeves may be pieced to the one piece that comprises front and back, or if you like you may make the back in one piece with two front pieces attached. The diagram shows how to cut the material for a coat coming to the finger tips. The dimensions are as follows: AB and CD equal 24 inches. AC and BD equal 11-2 yards. AE, BG, FC and HD equal 18 inches. EF and . GH equal 18 inches. IE, JF, GK and HL equal 10 inches. MN equals 6 inches. Fol lowing a pattern cut according to this design you may make ABCD from one piece of material 1 1-2 yards long and 24 inches wide. Be- W! Hardwoods Improve The Pines Quality of lumber in second- growth southern pine stands is improved by the presence of a sub stantial mixture of second-growth of hardwoods of the same age, re cent United States Forest Service studies show. The shorter, broad leaved trees help materially in shading out and causing natural pruning off of the lower branches of the pines, promoting earlier for mation of clear lumber in the growing pine trunks. ,Best results were found where the stand includ ed approximately 20 per cent of well-distributed hardwoods^ txt Strength Of Wood Dry wood is as much as two and one-half times as strong as the same wood in the green, or natural growing state, says the Forest Serv ice, of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. The strength of the dry wood compared to green wood varies with the type of tree, the amount of moisture it contains, and similar factors. The Forest Service has studied the problem of moisture and strength in wood for the last 25 years and has worked out for mulas for finding the strength of wood under different moisture conditions. txt Arrow snails found in the ocean off Bermuda are sharply pointed in the shape of arrow heads. ghining at 0, which is midway from C and D, slash to the center point Y to make the front opening. Then cut three inches either side from Y to make M and N 6 inches long for the neck opening. The sleeve extensions at either side (IEJF and GKHL) are 10 inches wide and 18 inches long. If your material is wide enough you can cut it all from a piece 44 inches wide.' You may, if you like, slope the front edges from M to O and from N to O or you may turn back the material from Y to M and from Y to N to form revers.

Leslie Jones and family on Pine Street about 8 o'clock Sunday night. The blaze was mainly in the roof and was hard to get to, but the firemen, who quickly responded to the call, soon got it under control. The main damage to the household ef fects was from water, Bruce Barton, author of “The Man Nobody Knows,’’ has written this tribute; to South, Carolbia for the “Parade of the States’’ Monday iiiyht programs ofi the General Motors Corporation, pait of an educational plan to nialce the* country as a whole better acquainted with the individual states—their history* scenic beauty, industries and people. ■INTER has gouo from the South Carolina coast; another spring is passing. Once more the asalcas have bloomed at Magnolia Gardens, and again to revel in the beauty of their blossoming come visitors from far and near. Wise are they who make the pilgrimage, for nowhere is a lovelier land. The gardenia was named for a resident cf Charleston. The poinsettia honors the JSou.h Carolin.^.i ....o brought it from Mexico. The first camellias that the new world ever saw are blooming yet at Middleton Place. The yellow jasmine, South Carolina’s own state flower, grows profusely everywhere. Flowers, soft breezes, softer speech and courtesy—no wonder South Carolina is called “tne comfortable state.” Aiken and Camden are winter colonies that generations have known. Charleston, the old and valiant city, holds America's richest store of early colonial architecture. Here one still may enjoy the delights cf shrimp pie and rice and other famous dishes, in a community that early learned and has never forgotten how to live. In Charleston harbor is Sumter, the fort that felt a war’s first shock. Serenely it dreams in the sunlit peace. Here, too, is Moultrie, which the British could not pass, where victory came to America’s arms six days before independence was declared. And up-country is that other scene of victory, King’s Mountain, near Andrew Jackson’s birth-place, where the fortunes of the Revolution were’turned by South Carolina’s sons. One of the original Thirteen States. South Carolina is rich in history,, yet she is even richer in her present. Her factories at Spartanburg and Greenville, at Anderson and Greenwood, at York and Union, add millions' to her wealth. First of all the states in the manufacture of cotton cloth, third in the making of textiles. South Carolina has risen to rank as third in the generating of hydro-electric power. The dam of Lake Murray, near Columbia, impounds more water than any other in America; South Carolina rivers yield the power of more than half a million horses, and their harnessing is not yet done. J Yet she is first of all, what she has been always, a state of friendly plantations and farms. Tobacco and corn have come to share the kingdom that once cotton ruled. Her vegetables and fruits contain a treasure of iodine; her soils are varied, her lands inviting. “Prepared in Spirit and Wealth,” is she, in the words of her own state motto. The remaining words, "While I breathe, I hope,” look backward upon days that are gone forever and forward to the deeds cf her sons who, at the State University in Columbia, at Clemson College on the homestead farm of John C. Calhoun, and at the Citadel in Charleston, are being trained to carry on.’ There is a welcome for you in South Carolina. There are friendly, faces amid the smiling floyvers. Go; revel in the blossoms; bathe at the beaches; explore the mountains and the fragrant plaihs. South Carolina extends the invitation, and General Motors, carrying it to the nation,, brings back the nation’s tribute to the Palmetto State. Burn The Dead Birds CLEMSON COLLEGE, April 11.— “In maintaining poultry farm san- 1 Ration an important factor is the proper disposal of dead chickens,” says L. W. Smith, acting head of the poultry divison of Clemson Col lege. Mr. Smith points out two methods generally used to rid poul try premises of dead birds, the first c - he sec being to bury them, and ond to burn them. “When dead birds are buried the job may not always be well done and sometimes the birds are dug up by dogs or other animals,” Mr. Smith warns us. “In such cases the germs from diseased birds will be scattered around the premises and very likely infect other birds.” A satisfactory method of burning dead chickens, suggested by Mr. Smith, is to use a common heating stove with a small amount of coal after the fire is started to form a good bed of coals. With drafts open full it does not take long to bum the dead birds since the fat and the flesh bum well after being started. This method of burning assures full protection against dis ease germs being spread. x — Vacancies In The Government The.

KILLING ANDREW J. FURGUESON COLUMBIA, April 11.—Sought for three days as the slayer of Andrew J. Fergueson, white farmer of Abbe ville county, Tom Wardlaw, 45, Negro, was captured today and rushed to the South Carolina state penitutiary. Offlrers at the penitentiary said Wardlaw admitted his guilt. The capture was effected today in Long Cane creek swamp in Ab beville county by national guards men sent there at the request of Sheriff F. B. McLane. The Negro made no effort to re sist arrest. Every effort was made to keep him concealed on the jour ney'hefe. En route here he first made his confession, national guardsmen said. Thomas Raines, private, of the 11th field artillery. South Caro lina national guard of Abbeville,, quoted Wardlaw as saying, “The devil got into me.” Fergueson, 63-year-old farmer,, was killed after reprimanding Wardlaw for stopping work to gO' fishing. A 16-year-old Negro boy,. Arthur Hill, said Wardlaw threw Fergueson to the ground and slash ed his throat with a knife. Ben Watt, another Negro, who was said by Hill to have stood by and made no effort to save the farmer is held in the state peni tentiary as a material witness. txt Hidden Pests Lands once under cultivation but now abandoned are of major im portance in connection with the spread of many insect pests and when located in infested areas they receive special attention from plant quarantine inspectors^ of the Unit ed States Department of Agricul ture.
