C. SPARTANBURG, Feb. 18.—Les pedeza Sericea is a perennial var iety, the seed of which has so far been so limited in quantity and so high in price that very little experi mental work has been done with it, says S. L. Jeffords, extension ag ronomist, answering inquiries about this new lespedeza. Lespedeza Sericea grows erect with few to many stems arising from a crown as in the case of al falfa. Each main stem is more or less branched. When seeded in rows and cultivated, the plants grow more vigorously and a light seed crop may be harvested the first year. The second year and each succeeding year more stems come out from the crov/n. The height of grov/th will vary from two to five feet. The Experiment Stations and the Department at "Washington are not in position to say whether this variety of lespedeza will make a satisfactory pasture plant or not. Its value compared with our annual legumes for hay has not been de termined, but it does not make suf ficient growth the first year to compare with such annuals as soy beans and velvet beans as a soil improving plant. The seed of Serlcsa are very hard and do not readily absorb water and germinate. For this rea son seed that are untreated before planting will give a germination test of only two to ten per cent. This explains why many persons in South Carolina last year failed to secure satisfactory stands of this lespedeza. For better germination seed may be treated before plant ing by scarifying with sandpaper ©r by immersing them in water at a temperature of 170 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. COLUMBIA, Feb. 18.—Advocates of a toll bridge over the Savannah river near McCormick, which a bill passed yesterday by the nation al Senate and sent to the House would authorize, claim it would op en up a new Columbia-Atlanta route 26 miles shorter than any present route. The bill, introduced by Senator George of Georgia, would allow his state to build the bridge. Char les H. Moorefield, chief engineer of the South Carolina Highway de partment, said he knew of no “im mediate plans” for this state to join in the project. Site of the proposed span, near Lincolnton on the Georgia side, is about 28 miles from a bridge near Calhoun Falls upstream, and 30 miles from one down stream at Fury’s Ferry. An improved highway from At lanta and a state highway from Columbia meet the site. The South Carolina road is paved to McCor mick, approximately seven miles from‘the river. Construction of another bridgo over the river further downstream has been proposed by Allendale county and the adjoining county in Georgia. This, also to be a toll bridge, would be financed by the two counties.

Follow the advice of that famous family physician who gave the world Syrup Pepsin. Stimulate the body's vital organs. Dr. Caldwell’s prescription of pure pepsin, active senna, and fresh herbs is a mild stimulant that keeps the system from getting sluggish. If your youngsters don’t do well at school, don’t play as hard or eat as well as other children do, begin this evening with Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. This gentle stimulant will soon right things! The bowels will move with better regularity and thoroughness. There won’t be so many sick spells or colds. You’ll find it just as wonderful for adults, too, in larger spoonfuls! Get some Syrup Pepsin; protect your household from those bilious days, frequent headaches, and that sluggish state of half-health that means the bowels need stimulating. Keep this preparation in the home to use instead of harsh cathartics that cause chronic constipation if taken too often. You can always get Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin at any drug store; they have it all ready in bis bottles. What Women in McCormick .think of this Book -txt- Early-Hatcked Chicks Pay Poultrymen Best CLEMSON COLLEGE, Feb. 18.— Early-hatchetJ chicks live better and grow faster than late-hatched chicks because the hatching eggs, having been produced before the hens came into the peak of pro duction, are larger and therefore produce stronger and more vigorous chicks, advises P. H. Gooding, ex tension poultryman. “Broiler prices are highest in March, April, and May; hence, cockerels from early-hatched chicks can be disposed of at a bet ter price,” he continues. “Pullets saved from the early-hatched chicks can be allowed to grow slow ly during the summer largely on a grain ration v/hich is cheap and will allow the pullets to make a big frame and store up a large quantity cf fat before coming into production. Furthermore, early- hatcired fat pullets will come into prsd action early in the fall, when the prices of eggs are high and they will lay large eggs and hold up in production during the winter months. If they are handled care- Mdy and led heavily on grain they \;hi go through the wnter without a partial molt.” “Records kept by poultry rais ers in Tennessee show that those who received 50 per cent of their broiler income in April and May made 83 per cent more profit per hen above feed cost than those who received above 50 per cent of the broiler income during June, July, and August,” says Mr. Gooding, quoting A. J. Caldwell, extension poultryman of that state. Mr. CaldwelFalso advocates saving pull ets from early hatching for fall layers, because: “Demonstrations show that poul try growers who received about 17 per cent of their egg income during September, October, and November made 78 per cent more profit per hen above feed cost than those who received less.than 17 per cent dur ing tb.oce a: nthc.” Cotton Around Parksville Is Relative ly High In Quality “Cotton produced in the vicinity of Parksville during 1932 is decided ly highe r in quality as measured by staple length than that of the State as a whole,” says Mr. W. T. Self, who is manager of the Parks ville ginnery. “The cotton which we ginned prior to December 1 was 95 per cent 15-16 inch or longer in staple, in comparison to the cor responding figure of 75 per cent for the State; and at that time we were about through ginning and around 96 per cent of the estimated total State crop had been ginned,” continues Mr. Self. Mr. Self is one of the State’s ginners who are co-operating with the United States Department of Agriculture and the South Caro lina Experiment Station in estimat ing the grade and staple of the 3tate’s cotton crop. During the past season, a sample was saved from each bale of cotton that came to his gin. These samples were regularly sent to Atlanta where .hey were classed by government experts according to the official United States Cotton Standards, ihe data secured with that from sther representative gins are used >s a basis for estimating the qual- • y of the State’s crop. Reflecting upon past experiences, Ir. Self relates: “It is my belief hat the organized production of quality cotton means a better aver- 'ge price to farmers. It was with his thought in mind that I have ent my aid to the importation and maintenance of pure seed of the better cotton varieties. I think ,his has enabled me to obtain bet ter cotton prices for my patrons and with the combined efforts of farmers and agricultural workers has led to the high quality of this section’s cotton.” Something new!

INTERESTING SOUVENIRS Mullins Enterprise. The drainage crew working in Fowler branch on the South Mull ins drainage project Tuesday un earthed two interesting things, one an Indian potato weighing possibly 10 or 15 pounds and a beautiful, salmon colored flint fully three inches long. The flint or an ar row head was left at The Enterprise office by Frank Game. These souv enirs were taken from a depth of five feet and were unearthed from pipe clay soil, indicating that it might have been the camp once of an Indian tribe. The potato de rives its name from the use that ;he Indians made of them long be fore this country was settled. ancient times. Many are their ways of cooking this fine flavored meat. From Syria comes this recipe for lamb broiled on skewers, as re ported by the National Live Stock and Meat Beard. Lamb has prob ably been cooked this way thous ands of times over campfires, upon long, sharp sticks. The American housewife may use instead the newest of fancy steel skewers with ornamental ends, adding a modern touch to an olden delicacy. Broiled Lamb on Skewers 2 pounds shoulder of lamb 2 or 3 sliced onions 1 tablespoon lemon juice 2 tablespoons olive oil Salt Pepper Cut the lean meat into pieces about 2 inches square. Mix the oil and lemon and pour this marin- : acle over the meat. Let stand about an hour, turning now and then. Season with salt and pep per and push the pieces of meat onto the skewer, a piece of onion placed between each two pieces of lamb Broil for about 20 minutes! as you would steaks or chops, turn ing occasionally so all sides are evenly browned. Here is a recipe which comes from Greece, but which is perfectly adapted for casserole cooking in any American kitchen. The pro portions make a serving for two, winning for it a place in the col lection of kitchenette recipes, but the amount may be increased to provide for a larger family.

ALL MEN CREATED EQUAL What was there for Jesus to add? It was a thought more splendid than all which had gone before and it has altered the current of history. He invited frail bewilder ed humanity to stand upright and look at God face io face. He called upon men to throw away fear, disregard the lim itations of their mortality, and claim the Lord of Creation as Father. It is the basis of all revolt, a 1 ! democracy. For if God is the Father of all men, then all are his children and hence the commonest is equally as precious as the king. No wonder the authorities trembled. Ihey were not fools; they recognized the implications of the teaching. Either Jesus’ life or their power must go. No wonder that suc ceeding generations of authorities have embroidered his Idea and corrupted it. so that the simplest faith in the worM has become a complex thing of form and ritual, of en forced observances and "thou shall nots.*’ It was too dang erous a Power to he allowed to wander the world, unleash ed and uncontrolled. This then was what Jesus wished to send to all crea tion, through the instrumentality of his eleven men. What were his methods of training? How did he meet prospec tive believers? How did he deal with objections? By what sorl of strategy did he interest and persuade? He was making the journey hack from Jerusalem af ter his spectacular triumph in cleansing the Temple, when he came to Jacob’s Well, and being tired, sat down. His disciples had stopped behind at one of the villages to pur chase food, so he was alone. The well furnished the water- supply for the neighboring city of the Samaritans, and af ter a little time a woman came out to it. carrying her pitch er on her shoulder. Between her people, the Samaritans, and his people, the Jews, there was a feud of centuries. To he touched by even the shadow of a Samaritan Avas defile ment according to the strict code of the Pharisees; to speak to one Avas a crime. The woman made no concealment of her resentment at finding him there. Almost any remark from his lips Avould have kindled her anger. She Avould at least have turned away in scorn; she might have sum moned her relatives and driven him off. An impossible situation, you aviI 1 admit. Hoav could he meet it? Hoav give his message to one avIio Avas forbid den by everything holy to listen? The incident is very revealing: there are times when any word is the Avrong word; Avhen only silence can prevail. Jesus kneAV well this precious secret. As the woman dreAV closer he made no move to indicate that he was conscious of her approach. His gaze was upon the ground. When he spoke it was quiet ly. musingly, as if to himself: 4 Tf you knew avIio I am,’“ he said, “you would not need to come out here for Avater. I would give you living water.” Next Week: The Center of Interest . . . Copyright, Bobbs-Merrill Co. DRV rail CLOTHES DRY CLEANED AT REGULAR INTERVALS WILL WEAR LONGER AND LOOK BETTER.
