OYSTERS . . . here again— Oyster farmers are expecting a bigger and better crop than ever this year. The oyster of the At lantic Coast is always a surprise to the visitor from the Pacific, who is familiar only with the small native oysters out there. It is also a source of amusement to European visitors, who have nothing like it. • It is related of William M.

T. McAl ister, extension agricultural engin eer, who states that it is now pos sible to get an entirely closed gear case that enables the gear to run in heavy oil like the rear end of an automobile. Perhaps the greatest improve ment has been the introduction of sections on the knife. These have long been used on grain binders.

BOOKS . . . good friends— A publisher, friend sent me the other day, twelve books. “I’m get- ttog these out to sell for fifteen cents a copy” he wrote. “I’ve got an idea that millions of people have never had a chance to read the great works of the great writers, and I’m going to try to supply them.” , Whether he makes a business success or not, he is doing a valu able service. He has shown good Judgment in selecting the books to reprint. “The Way of All Flesh,” j is, I think, the greatest hovel ever written in the English language, i And the list includes many others which are as interesting the second or the tenth time of‘reading, such as “Green Mansiohs,” “Alice in Wonderland}” “Torii’ Sa/fryer,” “Un der the Greenwood Tree,’’ “Treas ure Island” and the' New Testa ment, to name but a few.

Cutter bars are improved with guards that are held definitely in place by flanges, the number of guards being doubled. This makes the mower good not only for les- pedeza but for any grass or hay that is hard to cut when it grows thick, since there is double the number of cutting edges and the machine is not nearly so likely to choke. Another improvement along this line is the speeding up of the knife in some mowers of as much as six' strc<i-es to one revolution of the main drive wheels. txi Buy Well Bred Birds For Profit In Poultry IK Citation Of Letters Of Administration STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, County of McCormick. 3Y J.

Gooding, ex tension poultryman, who quotes records from farm flocks in South Carolina involving 16,310 birds with an dverage production of 139 eggs and a net income of $1.59 per hen in 1931. While these flock own ers gave better care than the aver age farmer gives, they were not making a very big margin of pro fit, and Mr. Gooding suggests that better breeding will make possible CLEMSON COLLEGE, Sept. 17.— The most frequent cause of failure of efforts to grow apples on a com mercial scale in the upper pied mont and mountainous sections of the Southeastern states has been the planting in solid blocks of var ieties that are poor pollen produc ers, says Prof. H. W. Barre, director of the South Carolina Experiment Station, reporting findings of the station horticulturists on pollina- i;on studies. Some orchards planted 20 years ago have proven to be complete failures and for a long time the cause was not known. For four years the South Carolina Experi ment Station has made an inten sive study of pollen production and of the effectiveness of different varieties of apples as pollenizers. The study has included microscopic studies of pollen grains and of spargeous tissues and embryo de veloped. “From • these studies * we know which varieties are self-fertile and which are sterile when not supplied with suitable pollen, and which varieties are good pollen produc ers,” Prof. Barre states. “With this information as a basis many of the old orchards are being inter-plant ed and top-worked with varieties mick Court House on October 18th, id t will be collected by 1932, next, after publication here- tho P Tax Colle ^ or of, at 10 o’clock in the forenoon, to ^, hc tax levies for tfre year rg32 , show cause, if any they have, why are as follows . he said Administration should not For state p ur p 0ses 1. 5 mills; oe granted.

Hence, if he'is carefully selected, mistakes which sometimes occur in future generations are reduced to a min imum.

Continuing, Prof. Starkey says that it has been the observation of many that when the price of cot ton rises, the farmers’ interest in livestock lags. Then when cotton falls in price the majority of fann ers stick to it until they no longer have the means to finance live stock work. Predicting that if South Carolina can further develop her hog pro gram as rapidly during the next few years as during the past two years she will soon be the leading hog state in the South, Prof. Star- key states that almost without ex ception the hog growers who have fed correctly and kept records on he hog work have received a sat- efactory profit. He urges, there- ere, that we enlarge our hog pro- ram until we market our home- rown corn through fat hogs lor hich there is a continuous mar- ket. The feeds it takes to grow hogs, he explains, are corn, a winter for- :ge such as barley or rye, a sum mer forage such as soybeans or al falfa, and a protein supplement ,uch as skimmilk or equal parts by veight of fish meal and cotton- ;eed meal. X Strange glacier worms, wriggling brown creatures, live in the glaciers of Mt. Rainier national park, and feed, presumably, on the tiny yeast like vegetables that flourish on the ice. phosphoric acid, 248 pounds of ni trogen, and 88 pounds of potash. All of the phosphorus and potash and one-^third of the nitrogen of the beans has come from the soil of the grazing acre. Five per cent of the total phosphorus and potash and 15 per cent of the nitrogen eaten is retained in the body of the hogs. Deducting these amounts, there is returned to the soil of the acre in the manure 94 pounds of phosphoric a^id, 194 pounds of nitrogen, and 37 pounds of potash, these being equivalent to about 600 pounds of 16 per cent acid phos phate, 1000> pounds of nitrate of soda, and 300 pounds of kainit. Since the fertilizer elements in the corn came from the soil and this corn should have been raised on the farm where the hogs are fed, it is interesting to note that in the 8800 pounds of corn there are 61 pounds of phosphoric acid, 142 pounds of nitrogen, and 35 pounds of potash.
