With the result achieved, ihe csipent of discontent enters the garden, and. what has been attain ed by so much labor and .sacrifice may be lest by a lack of apprecia tion of what has already been ac complished. ’ . It is well that we should give thought to the wrongs and abuses of the social and governmental or der, but it is also essential that we should give thought to the ad vantages and opportunities of our social and governmental heritage. Perfection in*,society and govern ment is not to be expected so long as the irien and women who go to make up a national or social order fall short of perfection.

H. Gooding, ex tension poultryman, and may be had free through county farm, agents or the Publications Division at Clemson College. “The average egg production in South Carolina is about 55 eggs per hen per year,” says Mr. Gooding in discussing the value of trap-nesting and pedigree breeding as a means of increasing economic egg pro duction. “This low production must be increased in order for the jfcate to enjoy a profitable poultry industry. One of the major fac- :ors in bringing about an increase in production is through better breeding based on trap-nest rec ords. In most cases it is more economical for the farmer to pur chase a pedigree male bird from a breeder than to attempt to do pedigree breeding.” -TXI- Mrs. J. J. Link and son, Wilbur, I Kruschen Salts.
