The Story Of A Southern Boy
George Washington was bom on a
large plantation in the colony of
Virginia, on the banks of the
Rappahanoc river.
He liked to hunt and fish. He
had a negro slave named Jasper.
Jasper was just a little older than
his young master. George always
carried Jasper with him when
hunting to carry the game they
killed.
On the plantation were large to
bacco fields. The negro slaves
cultivated the tobacco. George
would listen to them sing as they
worked.
George lived in a big house which
had a broad porch around it, sup
ported by Dig posts.
He had one sister and three bro
thers. His father died when he was
rruite young, so George and his mo
ther had to take care of the plan
tation and their slaves.
There were no railroads in those
days, so people had to travel on
horseback or in coaches. Planters
lived so far apart that when they
had business at Williamsburg, the
capltol, many of them would spend
the night with George
George was the oldest of tnc chil
dren, so b 1 *? mother trained him <o
have family prayers every night.
This heipcu him to oecome a gieat
man.

dicate without doubt the over
whelming election of Franklin D.
Roosevelt as the next president of
the United States. The electoral
vote, as indicated in yesterday’s re
ports, was 472 for Roosevelt and 5i
for Hoover. The electoral vot<
necessary for election :'s 266. Not
only did the Democrats sweep the

the senate and the house, as well
as most of the gubernatorial elec
tions throughout the country.

NEW CIRCULAR GUIDE
TO LIVE-AT-HOME PLAN
CLEMSON COLLEGE, Nov. 5.—
South Carolina’s live-at-home
plan for a family of five” is out-
j lined briefly in tabloid form in Ex-
1 tension Circular 125, a four-page
leaflet just ready for distribution
i through the state home demonstra
tion office at Winthrop College, the
county home demonstration work
ers, and the division of publica
tions at Clemson College.
The publication, prepared by Miss
Minnie M. Floyd, extension nutri
tionist, in co-operation with exten
sion food production specialists, sets
up in parallel columns the milk,
poultry, eggs, meat, vegetables,
fruits, and cereals advised for prop
er nutrition; the yearly amounts
necessary for a family of two adults
and three children; and how to
provide these needs. Its value lies
in its specific information and
guidance as to desired kinds and
quantities of food with ways and
means of producing these at home,
and in its general suggestions for a
live-at-home program. Blank
columns are provided for entering
individual family needs and how to
meet them, so that the completed
plan will have a definite individual
family value. j ,

Soybeans Become New
United States Export
Soybeans have become a new ex
port of the United States.
Although the bean was introduc
ed here from the Orient, its popul
arity has increased so rapidly that
^st vear more than 2,100,000 bush
els were exported, much of it to
Germany, the United States De
partment of Agriculture says. This
is the first time the soybean has
been exported from this country on
a large commercial scale.
Problems encountered in shipping
the tieans gave growers and export
ers helpful knowledge for future
shipments, the department save.
They found that the standard Un
ited States grades were acceptable
to foreign buyers without question.
They tried shipping beans in bags,
but found che^ waste was greater
than when shipped in bulk. Beans
containing more than 14 per cent
moisture can not be shipped safely.
Beans dried in kilns were low in
moisture content, but they split
badly in handling, lowering the
grade. The department believes
kiln drying is feasible if carefuUj*
done.
