C., Dec. 2ft—In view of the fact that the state law requires, motorists of South Caro lina to display the 1933 license tags on their vehicles on January 1, of ficials of the Highway Department today urged early purchasing of the plates to avoid confusion and delay in getting them in time to attach to their cars before the first day of the year. “Since every motorist is required, under the law, to display the rew tags on January 1, we urge them to mail their applications or r !:o personal applications for the p' es as soon as possible,” W. V. Sa:h- erland, Director of the Motor e- hicle Division of the Highway I e- partment, announced. “If I could make a persona* *- peal to every motorist in the s >e, my plea would be to get you i- censes early and avoid the rush,” Mr. Sutherland added, and str* d the importance of all applied ' s being filled out correctly and • e correct amount of remittance • it by money order cr certified e The department, as in the .st, cannot accept personal check. _ar the plates. The rush season for distribution of plates is now on and since there ' will be only a few days left to get plates to the motorists, it is to their advantage to act quickly in order to.be within the law and at the same time co-cperate with the Highway Department in then- tre mendous task, declared Ben ML Sawyer, Chief Highway Commis sioner, in commenting on the im portance of securing the plates as early as possible. “Mr. Sutherland has an efficient corps of workers to get the plates -out to motorists as quickly J3S the applications are correctly made," Mr. Sawyer added, “and the de partment appeals for early action.” Those who want to make person al applications will find the officer of the motor vehicle division on the lower floor of the State Office Building. -JXt- Oats For Work Stock Help Com Shortage CLEMSON COLLEGE,' Dec. 17.— In view of the short com crop in this state in 1932, farmers should feel free to use oats as a substitute for work stock, says Prof. L. V. Starkey, chief animal husbandman, advising that if only a limited amount of oats is available it will be well to use it when the hard spring work begins. “Oats is one of the safest feeds for horses and mules, particularly during the spring when it becomes necessary to increase the grain ration because of the hard work,* Prof. Starkey continues. “This is the chief reason, why teamsters prefer oats to corn. “Of course the chief reason why oats is a safe feed is that it con tains bulk. In spite of the fact that the total digestible nutrients of oats is 70 and corn about 82, it approaches corn very closely in feeding value pound for pound. “Oats contains 9.7 per cent oi digestible crude protein while com contains but 7 per cent. Thus, makes oats a better feed to use when carbonaceous roughages, such as grass hay, corn stover, and the cereal straws are fed.” Since South Carolina is well adapted to the production of oats, which fortunately is harvested early, Prof. Starkey suggests that a crop of oats may help tide the» ivestock over next summer until, the corn crop is ready to harvest. tfOR SALE—Nearly one acre lot in Plum Branch, with good well water, on prominent street.
