Dan Bickley, Lexington county club boy, was declared winner of the sweepstakes prize for corn, his 10 ears of Belmont corn carrying off this high honor in the 4-H.club classes and in the open classes. Several times before he has won this honor and followed it up twice by winning the trophy cup of the Southern Railway for the best corn in eight Southeastern states. In the Guernsey cattle show an other 4-H club boy, Edgar Lime- house of Dorchester county, won honors all' the way up to ;j unior championship in open classes with his heifer calf, Florence of Floren tine 360583, this purebred Guernsey girl of only seven tender, months 'taking first ribbons also as junior heifer calf and missing grand championship only because of ex treme youth. Again in the Jersey cattle shew a club boy, Harmon Sawyer of Aiken county, led the fiekl in open class, his well fitted bull calf taking the blue ribbon in that class. These three awards do not,tell the whole story of club boy honors in open competitions, for the announcements of judges show that in com, dairy cattle, and swine shows the exhibits of 4-H clubsters captured various prizes and show ed that these clubsters are really learning to be better farmers than ■their dads are. Oats For Grain Rations HAD SPREAD HIMSELF Magioois got a job on the railway. He was allowed to travel to his work every morning by an express train which obligingly slowed down suffi ciently for him to drop off safely. But one morning the engineer forgot, and the train dashed through the cut ting where the gang was at work. The foreman thought he would have to do without Maginnis for the next few hours, but presently, to his sur prise, a battered-looking figure ap proached him and reported himself. “Goodness, man,*’ cried the foreman, “and where did you get off?” Maginnis turned stiffly, and pointed with one trembling hand to the grassy hanks, as he sighed: “All along there, sor!” DEFINED IT® jo^o THE _IjPWLY BANANA A Japanese boy, who was learning English, was told to write a short thesis on the banana. This is the re sult: “The banana are great remarkable fruit. He are constructed in the same architectural style as sausage, differ ence being skin of sausage are habit ually consumed, while it is not advis able to eat wrapping of banana. “The banana are held aloft while consuming; sausage are usually left in reclining position. Sausage depend for creation on human being or stuffing machine, while banana are pristine product, of honorable mother nature. In rase of sausage, both conclusions are attached to other sausage; banana cn other hands are<.attached on one end to stem and opposite termination entirely loose. Finally, banana are strictly of vegetable kingdom, while affiliation of sausage often undecided.” CAP AND WILLING MIGHT HAVE KNOWN JJ) A t “Say, pa, what’s a star* boarder?” “A man whose landlady manages to slip him a piece of bacon two or three times a week.” Poor John The holiday resort was slow. The people in the boarding house were un interesting. and the weather was bad. Mrs. Youngwife was in anything but an amiable mood. “John,” she said one morning, “whatever made you choose this place for a holiddy?” “But. darling.” he exclaimed, “you suggested it yourself.” *T know,” she returned. “But why on earth did you agree?” Mrs. Henpeck (reminiscently)-^Did you expect me to accept you the night you proposed?

George groaned inwardly. “Oh, hut I do, all right,” he re turned, “I’ve always noticed how my money burns when I’m dear you.” CLEMSON COLLEGE, Oct. 22.— "One of the best nutrient sources in making grain rations for dairy cows is oats, and this grain is es pecially good for young growing stock,” says C. G. Cushman, exten sion dairyman, urging the planting of ample oats for grain feed. A standard home-grown grain ration suggested for the dairy herd by Mr. Cushman consists of 100 pounds of ground oats, 100 pounds of com-and-cob meal, 100 pounds of wheat bran, and 100 pounds of cotton seed meal. Ground barley may be substituted for the corn- and-cob meal, and velvet bean meal may be substituted for wheat bran. This ration would analyze 16.8 per cent crude protein, 47.1 per cent carbohydrates, 5 per cent fat. As to oats in rations for other animals it is well established that: 1. Oats is the most highly prized . grain ration for work stock, being • worth pound for pound about 90 ! per cent as much as corn, being well balanced, and being safe to feed because of the fibre it con tains. 2. Oats is exceptionally fine for sheep, a popular ration for breed ing ewes being two parts of oats to one part of co^n^,and for,fattening ^ambs it is worth two-thirds to Ihrce-fourths as much as corn pound for pound. 3. Oats, preferably ground, may well replace one-fourth to one- Ihird of the corn used in the hog ration, being worth 60 to 80 per cent as much as corn. 4. For poultry, ground oats may replace wheat products up to 15 per e’ent of the ration for a starting : nd growing ration, and a good Jiving mash consists cf 100 pounds cf ground oats, 100 pounds of i round wheat, 100 pounds of meat reraps, and 200 pounds of yellow corn meal. t —■* ^ Our idea of a great man is one who can acknowledge the call of a Joe! bell boy in a large crowd just like It wae an evc:y r Jn.} czeurence.
