Agricultural Engineering Cut stalks and trash with disc harrow before plowing instead of burning. Use a two-horse middle buster with wide doubletree for laying off evenly spaced rows. Equip the riding two-horse culti vator with opener center shovel, fertilizer distributors, and disc hill- ers for labor efficiency. Plow terraces just before plant ing and make them wide enough for three rows of crops.

Starkey chief of the Animal Husbandry Division, that for South Carolina as a whole the soybean is best adapted for summer grazing, and that though several varieties have been used successfully for grazing the Biloxi will probably give best i results. Though other summer graz ing crops such as alfalfa, lespedeza, cowpeas, and Sudan grass may be used, probably none of these would give as good results as soybeans. An acre of soybeans, he says, should carry 10 to 20 pigs during the entire summer, the better if the field is divided so that hogs can be shifted from one lot to an other, giving the beans a chance to “come out” after having been grazed. “Soybeans should be planted in rows about two feet apart and cul tivated often enough to keep the weeds down,” Prof. Starkey sug gests. “The rate of seeding will depend on the type of soil, the heavy clay soils requiring a heavier seeding than the sandy soils. When drilled in rows, three to five pecks of seed are required per acre. While this recommendation may seem heavy for hay, it is advisable for grazing. Planting should be from the first to the middle o; April, to be ready for grazing bj the middle of June. “If an abundance of corn is at hand, the hogs should be full fee on corn and fish meal.” U** l»y CLatTes E. Dunn, THE EFFECT OF ALCOHOLIC DRINKS Lesson for March 19i.ii. Proverbs 23:29-32 Go Men Text: Proverbs 23:32. The book of Proverb? is a most admirable treasury of the popular wisdom of Israel. One would have to search long to find a better guidebook for the pilgrimage of life. The twenty-third chapter from which the lesson is taken, contains ilie most complete and lively picture of drunken ness in the Old Testament. We can see the carouscr ling ering long, with bleary eyes, over the bottle. And we are warned that if we follow his path, our \i.-ion and speech shall become queer, our nerves insensible to tempest or pain, and we shall long for an awakening from our drunk en slumbers to return to Bacchanalian revels. So imich energy has been exhausted in the heated dis cussion concerning prohibition that the detremenlal effects o! alcohol upon character have been almost entirely forgot ten. In many circles ihe use of hard liquor is considered an indispensable adjunct to hospitality. The harmful are ignored. It is true that everyone admits the e\i! of drinking to ^ c? excess. Moderate drinking, however, is usually looked upon as harmless. Now that the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment seems certain, it is to he expected that the Eu ropean custom of imhititng wine and beer of relatively low alcoholic content will come to he generally considered a normal social habit. It remains to he seen to what extent the American people will exercise due self-control. But even if moderate drinking becomes the rule, rath- er than the exception, it does not follow that we are safe. For life has become highly mechanical and complex. Jesus and His disciples doubtless drank wine. But there w T as no machinery of consequence in their day, no railroad, no au tomobile, no earoplane. Life has speeded up enormous ly with the result that a slight error in judgment, of no moment in the days of old. may now easily result in a fatal accident. It is undeniable that one drink of alcoholic liquor is sufficient to make an automobile driver a possible murderer. Sobriety, then, is today essential. THE FAMILY DOCTOR JOHN JOSEPH GAINES. M.ft • PRECAUTIONS NEEDED In winter weather I see many people, old and young, making hurried little trips without sufficient protection against cold. A housewife will drop her kitchen things, rush dow ii to the bakery for something needed for dinner; she hasn t time to put on a wrap and, it’s only a short space—three blocks. So she whizzes out bareheaded, and w itli short sleeves used for w arm housewear. She may have been perspiring just the least hit hut that’s nothing; sh? lias done the same thing a thousand times. But—she encounters a keen north-east wind just a little damp as she turns the corner coming back; it pro duces a shiver up and down the spine. She hurries in with her purchase—does not perspire any more that day. The deed has been done. At bedtime she notices a slight sore throat, with a tickling short, dry cough. Unless she sets in to work to break it up. she may have it hang on for a week. All be cause of that hasty trip to the bakery, without proper pro tection. This letter is to tell you some little things worth while. You must throw' on a wrap when going out into sharp cold, no matter how' short the trip contemplated. This applies to men as well as to women or children. Keep the sur face of theh|H^^|^mi.—.that s the law of safety. I "tear around** impunity, hut ca n r idrd.
