X Dr. Long Says Can Food Against Winter Hunger CLEMSON COLLEGE, June 13.— To help insure employed and un employed in getting through the coming winter against suffering from hunger, Dr. W. W. Long, di rector of the Extension Service, is proposing the co-operative canning of vegetables and meats, offering to provide the supervision neces sary for efficient results. In a re cent letter to cotton manufactur ers Dr. Long thus presents the proposition, which it is hoped will meet with favor in industrial com- nunities and perhaps :m cities where provision may be needed for unemployed. “Dear Sir: The Extension Serv ice stands ready to co-operate with the mills in producing such truck crops as can be canned for winter use by the operatives. We will gladly furnish expert supervision in production and canning, pro vided the necessary seed, fertilizer, and land are procured. “We wish to call your especial attention to the possibility of can ning meats, particularly beef. If the operatives or the mills would purchase, co-operativcly, home grown young steers we would be glad to furnish supervision for the butchers and canners. By ohis method an exceedingly cheap sup ply of meats for winter use can be eccurcd. If you are interested we shall be glad to hear from you, will visit you and make necessary ar rangements. “I might add that we shall be pleased to co-operate with any city or town in providing a meat supply for the winter for the unemployed. “The canning of beef is assuming large proportions in Texas, Okla homa, and other states in that part of the country.” Newton Diehl Baker A ctllllClU Li. u. v^iuu A AVr TT A JL LLi-llL Holds Meeting June 10th At Home Of Mrs. Bunch Fairfield H.

A. Smith of Columbia, S. C. This program is the result of numerous requests from land own ers as to the best methods of hand ling their forest lands, according to the State Forester, who says chat ■ an effort will be made to place at least one demonstration in each county in the State during 1932, within the reach of the greatest number of farmers. Announce ments as to the program and dates of the various meetings will be made through the Agricultural Agents shortly before each demon stration. Demonstrations will be made in Tree Planting, in which each far mer will be given the opportunity to plant several trees in order to familiarize himself with the ease with which it is done and with the factors that ordinarily cause loss of the trees. A demonstration will also be made in Fire Break Con struction, in which the landov/nei will not only get experience in such work, but will also have the opportunity to try out on the fire fighting equipment. There will also be an old field pine area ihin- med to provide the maximum pro duction of wood and explanations will be made as to the principals followed. A fourth demonstration will include Woodland Improve ment, dealing with the removal and utilization of inferior trees and trees not capable of producing che maximum growth. Farmers attend ing this demonstration will be giv en an opportunity to select trees they feel should be removed by in dicating the number of the trees upon a card supplied them at the meeting. It is desired eventually to place these demonstrations in each rural Citizenship—Miss Eva Young. Legislation—Mrs. R. P. Young. Recreation—Miss Nora Young. At a late hour the meeting ad journed.

Misses Lucile Caudle, Alene Ar rington, Eula Caudle, Helen Brown, Harriett Bturkey, Edna Duncan.
