Haines of Dayton, Ohio, writes: “I weighed 180 so started to take KrusgJtien. I never was so surprised as when I weigh ed myself the first week—I lost 7 pounds. I just bought my 3rd jar and am down to 145—am still tak ing them and never felt better in my life.” (June 17, 1932.) To take off fat—take one-half teaspoonful of Kruschen Salts in a glass of hot v/ater in the morning before breakfast—one bottle lasts 4 weeks costs but a few cWi : cs —get it at any drugstore in Amer ica. If this first bottle fails to convince you this is the SAFE and harmless way to lose fat—your money gladly returned. Don’t accept anything but Krus chen because you must reduce safely. —Adv.

Says Blood Will Tell In Livestock Results CLEMSON COLLEGE, Feb. 25.— That blood will tell in livestock production is shown by the fact that in hog feeding demonstrations scrubs make slower and mofe ex pensive gains than do high grades or purebreds and by the further fact that official figures on live stock values show a higher valua tion per head in states v^hich have better bred hogs. Discussing the latter point. Prof. L. V. Starkey, chief of animal hus bandry here, cites figures of the U. S. Department of Agriculture Crop Reporting Board. He points out the Board’s average value of hogs per head in Florida $6.10, in Geor gia $8.40, in South Carolina $8.80, In Illinois $12.60, in Iowa $13.40 and says: “Evidently this marked differ ence is not due to difference in price of pork per pound, for in South Carolina we receive Chicago prices or better. It must be due chiefly to the fact that the breed ing is better in those states which have the high values per head. “Probably we should not have as many of our hogs purebred as they have in Iowa, but we do need to improve our livestock by the use of purebred sires. Out of the de pression has come a marked re duction in the value of purebred hogs. The spread between the prices of purebreds and grades is Jess than it has been for years. This gives the livestock producer a chance to Improve the blood in his herd by securing purebred sires at a low cost. “There never was a time when bloodlines could be improved cheaper than now. There never k was a time when improvement was Ipore needed than now.” Year’s Cotton ■ Outlook Briefed For Farmers CLEMSON COLLEGE, Feb. 27.— Pointing out that cotton acreage has been reduced for three years so that the 1932 acreage was 18 per cent less than that in 1929, D. W. Watkins, extension agriculturist economist, thinks that any further reduction in 1933 is unlikely be cause of increasing farm popula tion and because of the lack of op portunity, experience, or equip ment for growing other cash crops and the low prices of these other crops. He expects no greater use of commercial fertilizer. Because of conditions as to soil, fertilizer, weevil injury, etc., he thinks the yield per acre may not equal the 10-year average of 159 pounds," so that even a slightly larger acreage may not result in a larger crop. For example, a three per cent acreage increase and 150- pound average yield per acre Would produce about 11.5 million bales. Whatever influence may be exert ed by pending legislation aimed at reducing cotton acreage will have additional results in proportion to its effectiveness. With production exceeding con sumption for the past three years, the accumulating carry-over reach ed 13 million bales August 1, 1932. The low price will tend, Mr. Wat kins believes, to promote its use in supplying the current and most essential needs, and a consumption of 12 to 13 million bales would ’eave a carry-over next August of 13 million down to 12 million bales. With a 11.5 million bale crop in 1933 and the demand unchanged, the price should respond slightly upward; and if there is improved demand through improved condit ions there should be further im provement in price. But at this time it is wise for farmers to plan the 1933 crop on exy ictation of price ranging from slightly below to 25 per cent above the present season’s prices. South Carolina’s advantage as a quality cotton state is stressed by Mr. Watkins and he says that the outlook for staples of intermediate length (15-16 to 1 1-16 inclusive) is that the premiums will be no less and probably better than for the past year because of the expecta tion of a larger foreign crop of shorter staples. South Carolina has attained a high position in produc ing quality cotton through seven years of improvement work and this position should be carefully maintained through the period of low cotton prices. Quality cotton is one of the strongest aids in com peting for market outlets. Means suggested for holding down cash outlay for cotton pro duction include such practices as using all the farm manure and soil improving crops possible; growing the crop on the most productive lands and taking special pains to get a thick stand with close rows; .he use of good seed of a one-inch variety known to make about as much lint per acre as other var ieties; the careful selection of fert ilizers and frequently the joint pur chasing of these in carlots and home-mixing; and, in general, the lowering of cash outlay on crops in keeping v/ith prospects. x S. C. Farm Produce Used At Clemson OVER $17,000 BOUGHT PRINCI PALLY FROM FARMS DURING TERM CLEMSON COLLEGE, Feb. 24.— More than $17,000 worth of South Carolina produce, a considerable portion of which was secured direct from farms in many sections of the state, has been utilized by Clemson college commissary department since September, according to J. C. Littlejohn," business manager. To satisfy the healthy young ap petites of 1,200 cadets, Captain J. D. Harcombe, in charge of the Clemson kitchen and dining hall, has purchased over 21 tons of South Carolina pork products and dressed hogs, over six tons oi chickens and turkeys, about 108,- 000 eggs and over 13,000 gallons of milk. From South Carolina farms have been purchased two and one-half tons of cabbage, a ton of turnips, and over 3,500 pounds of apples. Every week trucks bring to the kitchen door South Carolina eggs, com meal, pork and cabbage, as well as such items as ice cream, syrup, pecans, tomatoes, dried beans and numerous other pro ducts. Even in the purchase of salad oils and compounds preference is given manufacturers using South ern cotton seed. By the end of the current school year Mr. Littlejohn estimated, Clemson college will have used in excess of $35,000 worth of South Carolina food products and pro duce. Preference for South Carolina produce not only applies to fresh vegetables, poultry and pork pro ducts, but extends to canned goods, all of which are purchased direct from Palmetto canneries or pack ing plants. Before being purchased, how ever, all produce is carefully in spected and must come up to the rigid standards set by college au thorities. Among the items of expenditure for South Carolina produce, ac cording to records at the business manager’s office, are: Pork, $4,- 123.53; poultry, $2,321.76; eggs, $2,- 288.95; dairy products, $5,901.08; syrup, $700.50; apples, $358.60; can ned beans, $180; canned sweet po tatoes, $180; miscellaneous canned goods, $374.

Sawyer, chief highway commission er, announced here today that be ginning on the morning of Tues day, March .7, State highway pa trolmen have been instructed tc begin making cases against South Carolina motorists who fail to properly display 1933 license plates. Mr. Sawyer’s action follows an an nouncement last Saturday that motor vehicles could be operated with 1932 plates until further no tice after a legislative resolution requested department officials to extend the time through March 6th. “In an effort to co-operate with the legislature and to minimize administrative problems, the de partment has complied with the wishes of the general assembly by not authorizing and directing cases to be made against persons for op erating motor vehicles without 1933 license plates,” Mr. Sawyer said, “but the time has come when the department must discharge its responsibility under the statutes,” he added, “and since the present extension expires on March 6 all the department’s law enforcement officers and agents have been in structed to commence on the morning of March 7, 1933, a state wide campaign of enforcement with respect to 1933 motor vehicle li cense plates.” Mr. Sawyer also pointed out that proposed legislation is still hang ing fire with the ultimate outcome still a question, but if the legisla ture amends the present laws then the highway department will make the necessary adjustments. bowed neck-line to top of the in verted V of skirt top there is a full ness remindful of Gibson-girl days The sleeve tells its own story, a fullness at elbow which makes for comfort.
