High school girls of this county and throughout South Carolina are to be given the opportunity to win a university scholarship. Local teachers of home economic have received an announce nenc of the 1S33 National Meai Jtory Contest, in which the schol arships, together with other prizes, are offered to students writing the best essays. This contest is spon sored by the Natonal Live Stock and Meat Board, which works closely with the U. S. Departmen of Agriculture and leading colleges and universities, in furthering re search and education on the sub ject of live stock and meat. The contest, the tenth annua event of this kind, is said to be at tracting wide attention throughout the state on the part of girls who are studying meat in their schoo work. Hundreds already have en rolled. These enthusiastic students are seeking up‘-to-the-minute informa tion on the relation of meat to health, the value of meat in the low cost diet, the selection and preparation of meat, as well as facts about the industry from national and world viewpoint. It is stated that more than 100,000 home economics students have par ticipated in this contest since its inception. The contest closes March 15. It will be judged by nationally known home economics authorities. Last year the chairman of the judging committee was Miss Frances Swain, president of the American Home Economics Association. For purposes of competition, the United States is divided into dis tricts, South Carolina being in the southern district. Winners in each district are awarded universitj^ scholarships and other prizes. Last year a South Carolina girl, Miss Bertha McQueen of Easley was one of the winners in the southern dis trict. South Carolina teachers, who are cc-operating in every possible way, assert that state-wide interest in this contest increases each year. They point out the excellent oppor tunities offered by scholarships and stress the fact that knowledge gained in writing meat stories should be of practical and perman ent value to every entrant in her future profession as a homemaker. txt Back-To-Land Movement Needs Wise Guidance CLEMSON COLLEGE, Feb. 18.— The back-to-the-land movement now becoming general may, unle WANT ADV.

Heavy Pigs Grow Faster The birth weight of pigs has an Important bearing on the gains they make in weight for the first six months, the United States De partment of Agriculture found af ter observing 1,429 hogs at its ex periment station at Miles City, Mont., during the 5-year period, 1927-1931. The department found that the pigs varied in weight at birth from J 1-2 pounds to 4 pounds, with most of them weighing from 2 1-2 to 3 pounds. The study of the pigs indicated that for each pound variation In birth weight there is a corresponding variation of approximately one-tenth of a pound average daily gain up to 190 days. In other words, a pig .weighing 3 pounds at birth weigh ed on the average 19 pounds more At the end of 190 days than a pig weighing 2 pounds at birth. Run County Fair Club members of Eaton county, Michigan, managed the county fair for the second year and made a fine go of it without a dollar donat ed. They did it mainly by furnish ing their own amusements and in ducing exhibitors to show for rib bons only. A lot of people would not believe it could be done, but when the gate receipts were count ed the 4-H boys and girls were act ually ahead. Everyone was invited to take part m the show. Purebrsd breeders were provided with classes and mough entered to make a nice ;howing. Smith-Hughes students were eligible to show in the open classes. There were over 60 animals ;hown in these classes. Club mem bers had classes of their own, and Drought out 138 cattle, 103 sheep •nd lots of swine and poultry. There were 70 horses, colts and ponies exhibited. The sheep show was one of the leading attractions. Good displays of canned products, sewing, garden stuff, handicraft and so on were made. The second day the grandstand was filled to overflowing for the stunts. A big one was a horse pulling contest, as it had been the year before. A stone boat was used and bags of sand weighing 100 pounds were used as the load. Teams were required to pull the load a given distance, sacks being piled on until they failed. Among the stunts were farmer’s horse races, pony races, potato and running races, milking contests, a water fight, chicken flying, and so on. The livestock parade was a cli max and made a fine demonstra tion of the extent and value of 4-H club work in the county. T tXt It has been estimated that deaths from tuberculosis cost the pepole of the United States $1,500,000 a year. wisely managed, throw many peo ple from the frying pan into the fi e, thinks D. W. Watkins, exten sion agricultural economist; whe says that it takes time, equipment .Labor, and some money even to o-,v foodstuffs ams that i .he meantime people can starve on .a. ms as well . .iu.es. “One fallacy held by many cit residents is that anybody can farm but as a fact farming is today r fficult and complex business,” Mr. Watkins continues. *‘ihc cnance for a family without proper equip ment or experience to make even food and feed supplies is remote; and as for making money it is well to take a look at the fact that far mers received only 51 per cent of pre-war prices for farm commodi ties in January, 1933, and paid 105 per cent of pre-war for things they bought.” Mr. Watkins holds that it is not a solution of city unemployment merely to send people to farms. “It looks ridiculous to bring out new people from the cities and indus trial centers to farms with the price disparity that exists between farm products and the goods that far mers buy. The farmer wonders why these people are not put to work in cities making or distribut ing the things he buys at 105 per cent of pre-war prices rather than coming out to join him in produc ing at 51 per cent of pre-war prices. The supply of farm labor available in the United States January 1 was 127 per cent of normal v/hile the demand was 54 per cent, making the supply 236 per cent of the de mand. In South Carolina the sup ply was 112 per cent of normal, the demand was 57 per cent, and tne supply was therefore 196 per cent of demand. Farm wage rates in he South Atlantic states averaged $11.16 per month with board and $17.09 without beard . With farm wages 74 per cent of pre-war there- is nothing in working on the farm as a wage hand except subsistence. “Four groups of people might reasonably consider going to the arm to live: (1) Those with em- oloyment in cities who can by lo cating nearby in the country reduce cheir costs of living; (2) those who have something to invest and wish at present low values to get estab lished on farms; (3) those without work and unable to live in the city who have friends on farms to whom they may go temporarily; (4) those unemployed and destitute who can go to farms to subsist guided and aided by responsible or ganizations or indivduals. “People going on farms now should have wise guidance as to selection of lands, production en terprises, and marketing possibil- ties. Only in this way can the movement be made to result in net .>ain to individuals and to society. A rural community that gains a successful farmer through this movement will be that much bet ter off, whereas one that merely adds a few families under condit ions that make it impossible for these famUies to succeed will be worse off.” TAKEN UP—One cow, which own er can get by describing and pay ing costs.

The New York Yankees are standing pat. i, William T. Tilden, 2nd, one of the greatest of all tennis players, now a professional, says he will re tire from active play late this year. He intends to establish a chain of tennis clubs. The country never lacks for sports. In one section of the coun try there is an archery tournament. The baseball spring training camps will open in another month or so. Basketball is in full swing all over the country. Billiards tournaments are being held nightly. Bowling is becoming more and more popular. Court tennis is at its height. In some sections dog racing is a great sport. Fencing classes are to be found in hundreds of gymnasiums. Handball is as popular as ever. Ice hockey matches are attracting thousands each week. And so the list could be continued. Southern Hardwoods Backache .. bother yoti.

Ig._ Of the 707,700 bales of 1932 cotton ginned in South Carolina (as re ported by the Bureau of the Cen sus) up to January 16, 1933, 74.8 per cent was of 15-16 inch or longer staple, the corresponding figure for: he United States being 56.3 per cent. This information issued, by tha Division of Cotton Marketing of thb United States Department, of Agr:'- eulture co-operating with tha Division of AgrciulturaL Economics of the South Carolina Experiment Station, shows that this state still exhibits strength in its position as regards the production of cotton of he tetter staples, says W. C. Jen sen, acting agricultural economist of the station. The figures are still preliminary, but since nearly all of the cotton cf .his state has been ginned, pract ically all of the total state crop has; been considered. Other figures in: the report show that 76.6 per cent of the state’s cotton was WhitOv; Middling and above in grade, and! that 99.1 per cent was tenderable on futures contracts. -IXI- Income Tax Men To Visit Counties AGENT TO BE IN McCORMICK FEBRUARY 24 There has been very little varia- in in the amount of meat con fined a person in the United Ftates in the last thirty years.
