Recent ^ Publications Help To Live At Home in Carolina who have rend- ered continuous service for 31 years, With this issue, The Advertiser embarks upon a new year. Found ed in 1836, it has rounded out its 97th year, one of the longest and leanest years of its entire existence. But having emerged victorious from wars, panics and depressions in the past, it hopes to survive this one, the most grinding of all seasons of depression. Not another paper in South Carolina has completed its 97th year of continuous service without a change of name or a change of identity in any manner. In this connection, it may be noted, too, that The Advertiser has had only two editors in the past 59 years. The writer has been at the helm for 31 years. Doubtless the editors Income Tax Men To Visit Counties AGENT TO BE IN McCORMICK FEBRUARY 24 on the same paper, could be count ed on the fingers of one hand.

Twice Beauty Winner extension tobacco specialist, says cal Kiwanis Club pointed out that that unless farmers have pure seed the county does not yet pro uce of good varieties it will be difficult enough potatoes to supply itself, to secure an economic yield of which shows that this ac ivi y can good quality, for pure seed help to be continued for some yea.o o produce vigorous disease-free come, plants needed to secure a full count of plants per acre and both purity and variety have to do with quality of product. It is hoped, therefore, that this year’s seedbeds are sown to the right sort of seed, a first factor in success with to bacco. “The variety of tobacco best to grow,’’ Mr. McGee continues, “de pends somewhat upon the kind of soil the farmer has and upon the kind of tobacco he wishes to pro duce. Having the best variety, care ful selection of plants from which to secure seed yearly is most im portant. The individual farmer usually does not know enough about variety types to make his own selection of plants from which to save seed and unless he has help in this important matter of selection it is much better for him to obtain seed from a reliable seed breeder.’’ WOMAN LOST 20 POUNDS OF FAT Shows Bermuda Pasture Value For Milking Cows CLEMSON COLLEGE, Feb. 13.— Under seasonal conditions similar to those of the growing period of 1932, it appears that good Bermuda pasture, when supplemented by barn feeding at the rate of one pound of grain to three pounds of four per cent milk, will give ex cellent results and a high net re turn per acre, says Prof. J. P. La- Master, chief of the Dairy Division of the South Carolina Experiment Station. Explaining the test lead ing to this conclusion Prof. La- Master says: “In 1932 we conducted a grazing test at Clemson College, using heavy-producing cows at the rate of one cow per acre on a pure Ber muda sod started in the spring of 1930 by using roots. The only soil treatment was the application of 11-2 tons of ground limestone per acre applied in the spring of 1931. “The barn feeding of grain throughout the grazing period of 210 days, from April 20 to Novem ber 16, averaged one pound of grain to 2.9 pounds of milk testing four per cent butterfat. A simple for mula was used for converting milk of various butterfat tests to a four per cent basis. “The results show that the cows averaged 37.9 pounds of four pev cent milk daily. At prevailing feed prices, which include the grain mixture of equal parts by weight of corn and cob meal, ground oats, wheat bran, and cottonseed meal at $20.00 per ton, the bam feeding cost was 43.8 cents per 100 pounds of four per cent miik, or 11.3 cents per pound of butterfat. “The value of grazing received from the pasture, figuring four pep cent milk at 80 cents per 100 pounds, was $28.39 per acre. “The nutrients received from pasture, figured in terms of their equivalent in alfalfa hay, were equal to a yield of 2.04 tons of al falfa hay per acre.” X Better Pastures.

Take one half teaspoonful of Kruschen Salts in a glass of hot water in the morning—in 3 weeks get on the scales and note how many poimds of fat have vanished. Notice also that you have gained in energy—-your skin is clearer— you feel younger in body—Krus chen will give any fat person a joy ous surprise. But be sure it’s Kruschen—your health comes first—and SAFETY first is the Kruschen promise. Get a bottle of Kruschen Salts from any leading druggist any where in America (lasts 4 weeks) and the cost is but little. If this first bottle doesn’t convince you this is the easiest, SAFEST and surest way to lose fat—your money gladly returned. —Adv. CLEMSON COLLEGE, Feb. 13.— Interest continues to grow in bet ter pastures to provide grazing for more livestock, as may be seen from these typical reports from county farm agents. A co-operative order was placed for a ton of carpet grass seed to be used on the lowlands for pas ture. More than 59 farmers have planted carpet grass during the past few years and are finding it entirely satisfactory for pastures.— S. M. Byars, Anderson. In 1927 only 21 pounds of carpet grass seed were ordered; in 1928, 486 pounds, sufficient for 60 acres; in 1932, 1732 pounds, 220 acres: in 1933, to date, 800 pounds. Cattle are grazing green carpet grass now, although we have had rather sev ere winter.—C. B. Cannon, Laur ens. We have ordered 5630 pounds o! carpet grass seed, 5500 pounds oi lespedeza, 1200 pounds of dalla grass seed, which will be sown on 1000 acres of pasture lands during the spring.—E. C. Turner, Jr. Greenwood. Several hundred acres of pastun land have in recent years been planted in this county, mostly car pet grass and common lespedeza.— J. P. Graham, Jasper. There is much interest in pas tures, and a comparatively large area of new pasture land is being prepared for grass and clover seed- ing.—Claude Rothell, Saluda. Small grain where seeded early in the fall for grazing purposes has offered an abundance of grazing in Chesterfield. G«T. Little on four acres with a mixture of oats, wheat, and rye has had grazing for 15 head of hogs since November 1.— W. J. Tiller, Chesterfield. -txi- Sod Saves Soil A heavy rain at the soil erosion experiment station near Tvler ' rav recently washed from cotton fields on moderately sloping land more , than 6 tons of soil per acre, reports I the United States Department of I Agriculture. At the same time only 11-2 tons of soil was removed ! where the land was planted to les pedeza, the slope and soil being the same. No soil was removed from fields of the same kind sodded to grass. These rates of soil loss were determined by actually measuring | the eroded material from experi mental plots.
