CLEMSON COLLEGE, Oct. 22.—
Members of 4-H* agricultural clubs
came to the front again at the
State Fair this week with excellent
exhibits, so superior that they won
over all comers with corn, Guern-
cey calves, and Jersey calves.
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!”

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.”

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
