M. Clark, ex tension economist, who urges, however, that “where the choice is between selling corn as grain and marketing it through hogs, the op- nortunities offered by hogs as a means through which to markei corn are not far out of line with the opportunities offered during the pre-depression vears.” “The price of hogs,” Mr. Clark continues in explanation, “has been lower during t'^ 0 current hog mar keting season Chan it has been for the same quality of hogs in the more than 30 years of which we have records; but even so it has not been as low relatively as nave th" prices of corn, oats, and cotton seed meal, and only somewhat lower relatively than fish meal and tankage.” To illustrate his point Mr. Clark says: “Hogs at $4.25 a hundred, assum ing an average feed requirement and average gain, would leave the same return above feed cost as hogs at $8.65 would have left at this time j in 1928. The average price of things farmers buy has declined about 3C per cent since 1928. Allowing for this decline, hogs at $4.25 now will leave above feed cost a return which will buy as much as could have been bought with the return above feed cost from hogs selling for $9.10 at the corresponding per iod in 1928.” iXt In this day and age of swiftness, one wonders how anyone a genera tion ago was run over by a horse and buggy.

X Agriculture Teacher Adopts Forestry Course c/ Vocational Teacher, A. E. McCor- mac of Willington representing the De la Howe School has adopted the course in Forestry as presented by the State Forest Service, in co-op eration with the office of the Sup ervisor of Vocational Agriculture. In commenting upon the need for such a course, District Forester H. Y. Forsythe of Aiken, pointed out that over 60 per cent of the State’s area is in forest land and that ov er 30 per cent of that forested area is upon the farms. With approx imately 61 acres on the average farm the District Forester pointed out that 28 acres, or almost one- half, was suitable only for timber production at the present time. The Forestry course is designed to present to the Future Farmers of South Carolina the fundamental principles of forest management and protection. The school is to have a demonstration forest pf ten acres on the De la Howe School woodland property 8 miles from McCormick for which a work plan will be prepared by the Forest Ser vice and carried out by the school during the ten year period. The school will have a demonstration plantation and demonstration seed bed. Each boy will have a forestry project at his home. Special in struction will be given and actual practice received in forest manage ment on the school forest and in seed collection, separation, nowing and raising and planting, of fornsl tree seedlings; in thinnings, im provement cuttings, timber estima tion, utilization, marketing and m fire lane construction, co-operativt forest protection and fire damage TXT Fall Time To Fight The Peaeh Tree Borer CLEMSON COLLEGE, Sep';. 24.— p each tree oorers, which annually ^ausc the loss of great numbers of peach trees, can be controlled ef— fectively by the use of pure parr,— dichlorobcnzine with no injury to* tre,s four years old and older, says. Alfred Lutken, extension entomol ogist, who advises that in the Pied mont area the paradichlorobenzine crystals should be applied from Oz- tobei 1 to 5 and in the southern: part of the state from October 15> to 23.* Trees four and five years' oldr should be treated with three- fourths of an ounce per tree, whil^ older trees should receive one ounce, Mr. Lutken suggests. Until a safe method of creating young; trees is perfected, it will be neces sary to remove the worms by hanc? from trees under four years old. The hand work can be done during; November. The trees are prepared for treat ment by removing the trash ancf grass for about a foot around the? trunk and leveling the soil evert with the topmost borer gallery. The:- crystals are applied in a circle- around the trunk about one inch from the bark, and about six shov elfuls of dirt placed in a moupd around the trunk and packed down firmly, with care that the crystals are not thrown against the * bark when the dirt is applied. After four weeks of exposure, the- mounds are removed from trees four and five years old, and after six weeks from older trees, and fresh soil returned to the original level to avoid winter injury. txt Farmers And Lawyers •i Lead In House COLUMBIA, Sept. 24.—Lawyers and farmers will make up exact ly half of the 1933 House of Rep resentatives’ membership of 124.
