County Agent Gives Few Formulas For Mixing Fertilizers To McCormick County Farmers: For the information and con venience of those who desire to mix their fertilizer at home, I am giv ing you a few practical formulas with the analysis of each. In selecting a mixture to use a farmer should consider (1) the ma terials he has on hand or can ob tain, (2) the food needs of a par ticular crop on a particular soil; (3) the comparative cost of ma terials that can be used to give a particular analysis; and (4) the ef- scenery was installed by the Ameri- fect on the soil of the chemicals can scenic Company. son College.

X District Forester Reports Increase In Tree Planting Forest tree planting in the Aiken Forest District for the spring plant ing season just past, totaled 203,- 755 trees, according to District Forester H. Y. Forsythe of Aiken. The Aiken Forest District includes the counties of Richland. Green wood, Lexington, Fairfield, Newber- ry, Saluda, Aiken, McCormick and Edgefield and 64 tree planters in these counties took advantage of the offer of the State Forestry Commission to obtain tree seed lings at the cost of production. Slash Pine, the South’s fastest- growing pine, led the list in the Aiken District only, with over 151,- 000 trees. Longleaf Pine came sec ond with 25.900 trees and Loblollv Pine, Shortleaf Pine, Black Locust, Red Oak and Black Walnut fol lowed. Depression or no depression, there has been a brisk demand for the tree seedlings grown at the State Forest Tree Nursery at Cam den and distributed for reforesta tion purposes by the State Forestry Commission. H. Y. Forsythe, District Forester, said that the output of the Cam den Nursery has been sold out, ex cept for some loblolly pine. “All of the Longleaf, Shortleaf, Slash, Black Locust and other hardwoods, which were grown in limited quan tities, have been sold,” he said. Mr. Forsythe says the sales this year “indicates a growing interest in planting abandoned farm lands to trees and of this method of us ing sub-marginal lands In the State. I believe that the move ment towards reforestation will in crease and the (demand on the Poultry Letter, For April, 1933 Mrs. Nell A. Stallworth, Home Demonstration Agent, has received the following from Miss Juanita Neely, State Poultry Specialist, which will be of interest to poultry raisers in McCormick County: It seems most essential to ask you again to “Adopt the Grow Healthy Chick Program.” Your future flock depends on the qual ity and care of your chicks. Breed ing stock, baby chicks, and hatch ing eggs may be purchased but Sanitation must be practiced. Suc cess in the poultry business is largely dependent on the produc tion of clean, healthy chicks. Obtain More Profit by Adopting These Six Factors 1. Hatch Early.—Hatching o buying chicks at the proper tim is one of the secrets in successful management. For pullets to go in the laying flock, hatch during February, March and April. Broiler prices are highest in the early spring. The United States Department of Agriculture says “Early hatching means early ma turity, early laying, better prices, and larger profits.” 2. Clean Chicks and Eggs—Pur chase chicks or eggs from flocks free of disease. Insist on vigor and quality. Poor quality chicks means higher chick mortality. 3. Clean Brooder House.—Clean brooder house before moving to clean land. Suggestions in clean ing: (a) Remove all equipment (b) Clean walls and ceiling (c) Scrub walls and floor (if any) with iye water (1 lb. concentrated lye in 40 gal. water) (d) Spray entire house with good coal-tar disinfectant or whitewash (e) Clean and disinfect all equipment (f) If dirt floors are used take out and fill in with new, clean clay. 4. Clean Land—Not used for chicks previously for two or three years, and not spread with poultry manure for that length of time. A three to four year rotation is safer and very desirable. Soil contam ination must be avoided. If clean land is impossible, raise chicks in confinement on wire floors inside and outside for a period of four to ten weeks. Battery brooders are being used more and more for broiler trade and for short period brooding of the chicks to make up the flock. 5. Clean Balanced Ration.—For the normal growth and develop ment of chicks, properly feeding a balanced ration is necessary. Adopt a suitable and economical feeding practice and follow it in detail. The aim of all poultry raisers is to produce maximum growth at the least cost, taking into consideration mortality, etc. Milk is a very valuable asset to a chick ration. All feed should be put in hoppers that Insure against waste and contam ination. 6. Clean Management.—Do not crowd chicks. Avoid traveling from hens’ quarters on to the chick range and brooder house. Use dis infectants. Keep visitors out. Clean brooder house every third to fifth day and put in clean litter. Provide perch poles when chick*: are about six weeks of age. Sep arate pullets and cockerels at ter weeks of age or earlier if possible Give pullets plenty of room on a clean range. The more factors not adopted the higher the chick mortality. Th: Florida Extension Department finds that the three most import ant factors are: clean chicks anr eggs, clean brooder houses, and clean land. Please join the ranks of our South Carolina poultry raisers ir adopting the “Grow Healthy Chick Program” in order to: 1. Lower Chick Mortality. 2. Produce Quality Pullets. 3. Obtain Greater Profits.

Animal Husbandry By all means plant some soy beans for hog grazing. Put sows and pigs on territory where hogs have not been for sev eral months. Give sows with suckling pigs all they will eat of a well balanced ration. Castrate pigs at six weeks of age and wean them at eight weeks. Dispose of all non-producing sows. Give lambs grain in a creep, say five parts of corn to one of cotton seed meal, and have them fat to market as soon as they average 70 POULTRY TRUCK AT ATCORMM SATURDAY, APRIL 8,9 A. M. TO 12 M.

Golden Text: Mark 8:34 This Palm Sunday lesson deals with one of the most significant incidents in the ministry of Jesus, the famous in terview with His disciples at Caesarea Philippi, a high, mountainous town in the Jordan valley far to the north. Here was a shrine to the Greek god Pan, and a temple built in honor of the emperor Augustus. To this spot where men worshipped the forces of nature typified by Pan, and the political power incarnated in Augustus, Jesus and the dis ciples came seeking, in this Gentile territory, a reftigC front Jewish opposition. In the light of this background, note, how intensely significant is the confession of Peter. When, in answer to Jesus momentous query, “Who do men say that I am?” the impulsive apostle, the leader of the twelve, cried; “Thou are the Christ,” he paid tribute to a leader more at tractive than Pan, and more compelling than Augustus. And the importance of this confession is heightened by the fact that, as far as we can tell from a study of the all too brief gospel records, Jesus spoke here to His disciples about His Messiahship for the first time, and they, on their side* acknowledged it for the first time. Why did the Master delay so long in speaking of the secret of His Person? This incident comes late in His career, near the end of the Galilean ministry. The answer to this difficult question seems to be, first of all, that our Lord felt the Messianic title to he misleading. His people dreamed of a mighty ruler, who would shatter the Roman world with the sword, and establish a victorious empire in Jerusalem. Obviously this conception did not at all ex press the meaning of His mission. Secondly, he knew that when He declared Himself openly as the Messiah, He would arouse volcanic hostility. Remember that the open announcement of His Messiahship at Caesarea Philippi meant a resolution on His part to return to the hostile Jews and the death their hate was preparing for Him. Here the Master set His face toward Jerusalem and the Cross. pounds.

Woman Killed; Butler Is Held Tragedy lurked in the darkness at Pioneer Gold Mine, three miles south of McCormick, during the early hours before dawn Tuesday. A violent knocking on the door of W. A. White, president of the Caro lina Exploration company, whicli operates the mine, revealed Archie Hughey, the colored butler, who claimed he had found the colored cook, Della Colter, murdered in her one-room cabin near the mine mess hall. He said he had been away to see his mother, who lived nearer town, and came back to find the woman dead. Upon investigation, a suit of clothes, spattered with fresh blood, was found in the wo man’s cabin. Coroner M. L. B. Sturkey held an inquest Tuesday morning and the verdict of the coroner’s jury was that the woman came to her death from blows on the head.
