COLUMBIA, S. 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-

hicle Division of the Highway I e-

The rush season for distribution

early as possible.

Mr. Sawyer added, “and the de

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.
