The National Safety ^uun- cil has published figures on acci dental deaths for 1931 which reach ed a new high total of 97,000. The increase of two thousand over 1928 is charged against the automobile, for motorcar casualties reached 31,000. Deaths of children, how ever, scarcely increased at all, so perhaps the safety campaigns are bearing fruit. The death toll in cluded 23,000 fatalities in or about the home. Over nine thousand of these resulted from falls—princi pally slipping in the bathtub and on rugs. Bums, scalds, and explo sions ranked high. Curiously enough, home casualties were al most exactly equal to those in in dustry. x AUTUMN FOLIAGE Henry T.

We in America have become .so accustomed to it that we often . do not realize its beauty. It is a constant soured" of delight -and wonder to European visitors, who have no such phenomenon at honie. Our American autumn is some thing that we on this continent alone possess. The pleasant weeks between the first frost and, Christ mas, when the winter’s cold and .snow really begin over most of the United States, make a season in which outdoor life can be enjoyed to its utmost. There is as much .inspiration in our autumn season for the poet as there is in the Eng lish spring, and far more for the painter. — T Guernsey Field Day At Gippy, Sept. 23 Class,” and Mrs. Klugh Connor and tory again calls* the farmer’s atten- Miss Claire Henry, assisted by Mrs. ““ Elmer Creighton at the piano, rendered a violin duet.

Union — Mrs. G. H. Johnson op ened music studio recently. tion to the fact that his cotton is not receiving as much potash as it should. There are various stages of pot ash hunger on cotton. In somo fields only a slight bronzing of the leaf and more than usual shedding is noted. In other fields the plants have lost a good portion of their leaves, the bolls are \>oorly formed and do not open properly, and the crop is hard to pick. For seven years now hundreds of demonstra tions throughout this section have also shown that cotton which shows no signs of potash hunger will pro fitably respond to at least 8 per cent potash in the fertilizer mix ture. With extreme cases of potash hunger we recommend 8 to 10 per cent potash in the mixture at planting and about 100 to 200 pounds of muriate as a top-dresser. Many farmers buy this extra pot ash in nitrogen-potash top-dress- ers. If wilt is present, wilt-resist ant seed should also be used. In This Section I recently made a tour of Or angeburg county. South Carolina, and saw more than 100,000 acres of cotton which needed an extra 100 potiltds «f muriate or 200 pounds of 20 per cent kainit per acre. Again, in the Piedmont section of that stott I saw thousands of acres in Saluda, Greenwood and Abbeville counties which needed the same treatment. In Rockdale and Walton coun ties, just out of Atlanta, and again in the limestone valleys of north western Georgia I saw thousands of acres of cotton showing various stages of potash hunger. Mr. S. K. Jackson of .Raleigh, after a trip through western North Carolina, made the following report on August 25. » “Corn has suffered more than any other crop and shows poor prospects. Cotton has made small growth but set a fair crop of fruit. However, shedding has been very severe during ^ the last two weeks and cotton rust is showing in practically every field.” W. H. Appleton of Gadsden, Alabama, has reported that many fertilizer men in the northern part of that state are selling fertilizsr mixtures carrying 7 to 10 per cent potash.for cotton at planting. H? also thinks that the nitrogen-pot ash top-dressers which have been used with excellent results in recent years will enjoy big sales when con ditions return to normal. He said, “Mr. Mullins of Mullins and Moore, fertilizer dealers at Clanton, told me recently that 400 pounds of a mixture made of 1,800 pounds oi 10-4-4 and 200 pounds of muriate of potash has given R. L. Williams of Billingsley the best cotton this season he has ever produced on the land where this mixture was used.” (The equivalent analysis was Mr. Cushman says: “Mr. Roosevelt has taken this historic old plantation, rich in early history, and recreated the pictur esque and scenic charm- which characterized its early days. Long neglected, its broad acres have been cleared of unsightly brush and un- uurgrowth, seeded and fenced, and now present an interesting and in- .structfve studjr'in productive pas ture areas and rotated field crops.

X A Hurry-Up Meal For Busy Housewife ♦ Time is precious to most house wives. “Dinners may be prepared com pletely in thirty minutes or less,” says Inez S. Willson, home econo mist, and she submits the following as a quick menu, yet as tasty a meal-as-one could wish. Menu « Broiled Lamb Chops with Currant Jelly Sauce Rice Ring Mold Creamed Cauli flower, Watercress Salad Whole Wheat Bread Butter Pickles Fruit Salad Cheese Sticks Coffee Milk Lamb Chops With Currant Jeliy Have the lamb chops cut of uni form thickness (about 1 inch thick) and the fell removed. To broil by direct heat lay the chops on a cold greased rack and place over live coals or under an electric grill or gas flame. If gas is ustd have the chops 2 or 3 inches from the flame. Sear them on both sides at a high temperature. After searing, lower the flame and finish cooking at a reduced temperature. Turn the chops occasionally, but do not pierce the brown crust. It requires from 10 to 15 minutes to broil chops 3-4 to 1 inch thick. Take some of the fat from the broiler pan and melt a glass of currant jelly in it. Place the broil ed chops In the center of a hot platter and serve with a border of hot boiled rice. Pour the sauce over the chops and serve while hot. The platter may also be decorated very attractively^with, sprigs of wa tercress. 1 DR. W. S. EUBANKS Of Greenwood, S.
