The young women of the Phil- omathian Literary society donated from their treasury surplus money with which to renovate complete ly the entire second floor of Keller Hall, where the Library is located. New shelving, reading tables and lighting equipment have also been added. The entire student body con tributed funds with which to ren ovate the corridors in Hollland Hall and to repaint the large columns in front of the building. President James C. Kinard, in commenting on these voluntary contributions of the students, said: “This fine work is just another evidence of the splendid spirit that exists in the student body at New berry College. I can think of. no more worthy contribution that our students could make than to pro vide the funds for these projects.” Friends in town have donated shrubbery, which Ls now being set out on the campus.. The gifts'i'n- clude grass, new trees and orna mental plants of many varieties. Two new tennis courts have just been completed. The men and women have separate courts, and there are many aspirants out for the tournament to be staged soon. txr EXAMINATION FOR TRANSPORTATION RATE CLERK (PASSENGER) The United States Civil Service Commission will accept applica tions until April 25 for the position of transportation rate clerk (pas senger) to fill a vacancy in the Bureau of Supplies and Accounts, Navy Department, Washington, D.

Blease, perennial warhorse of South Carolina politics, today announced he will make the race for governor in 1934. The former governor and United States senator said at his law of fice here that his platform “will be the simple policy of operating the state government on a cash basis.’ He said many persons told him they believed he could “pull the state out of its present financial situa tion.” Blease said he decided to become a candidate at the “request of peo ple from all over the state who have never supported me,” adding “prominent men who have never voted for me have urged me to run.” Active in South Carolina politics for 43 years, Blease served in both chambers of the legislature, as gov ernor from 1911 through 1914, and as United States senator from 1924 through 1930. He was born in Newberry county October 8, 1868. Advent of Blease in the guber natorial lists brings the total of announced candidates to four, with others in the immediate back ground. Olin D. Johnston of Spartanburg, whom Governor Blackwood narrow ly defeated in 1930, Lieut. Gov. James O. Sheppard of Edgefield and Representative Wyndham M. Manning of Sumter are avowed candidates. W. H. Keith of Greenville was quoted in a recent dispatch from Greenville as saying he would enter the race if his health permitted, and C. E. Sloan, state senator from Greenville, is considered a probabk* aspirant.

Better Quality Sweets A Production Problem COLUMBIA, April 1.—South Car- o’uia sweet potato producers who insist that they have no production problems at present, and that their L .roub!es arc all marketing, may be convinced to the contrary, thinks George E. Prince, chief of the Ex- ension Division of Markets, by a study of the marketing facts and figures below. On March 15, the Cleveland Dailj Market Report showed U. S. No. 1 bushels of Porto Rico jobbing ar follows: South Carolina, 65 cents; North Carolina, 75 cents-35 cents; Louisiana, $1.00-$1.10; Texas, $1.15. Assuming that the freight rate from all states was equal, the South Carolina grower probably received a net of 12 1-2 cents per bushel for his Porto Ricos, while the Texas grower received a net of 65 cents per bushel. The Pittsburgh market report of March 21 carried the following: Porto Rico sweet potatoes, bushels, U. S. No. 1’s, Louisiana, $1.15; Tex as, $1.15-$1.25; South Carolina, 65 cents. Here again a striking dif ference in net return after freight allowance. “This stock was all pink skin Porto Ricos, but the difference was in the cleanliness, brightness, and manner of grading and packing,” says Mr. Prince, who insists that South Carolina does not give suf ficient attention to these matters or to improving color and type of stock. One reason for this may be that most growers consider sweet potatoes as a side line, and do not give any consideration to their marketing problem until time for selling. Realizing that the problem in largely one of production rather than of marketing, Mr. Princa sug gests these pointers on production for market quality: 1. Select disease-free stock and treat before bedding. 2. Select stock of the right color and shape. 3. Plant in light soil if possible in fields which have not been in potatoes for three or four years. 4. Use proper fertilizer, with necessary potash to produce stocky potatoes. 5. Plant closely to reduce per centage of large potatoes. 6. Harvest carefully when ma ture and before frost. 7. Cure and store only number one stock. 8. Regrade and clean before shipping. tXT Brood Poults Like Chicks CLEMSON COLLEGE, April 1.— Experiments and practices have shown that poults can be raised best when fed just like baby chicks and brooded in partial confinement on clean ground, separate from the chickens, says P. H. Gooding, ex tension poultryman, giving brief suggestions on handling turkeys. The popular notion that turkeys must have half the farm on which to range to prevent blackhead and must be fed some specially prepar ed feed is unfounded, Mr. Gooding thinks. Chickens are carriers of the germs that cause this disease but seldom develop it. Turkeys, however, are more susceptible and when allowed to run with the chickens they usually develop i f when the poults are six to 12 week:; old. A good practice is to keep the poults confined on ground where chickens have not ranged for two years, keeping them in the house for the first 10 or 12 days. If hens are used to brood the poults, abou 4 30 should be given to each hen and these confined in small wire en closures which can be moved to new ground every two or three weeks Seme good chick starter should be kept before the poults for the firs’ 10 or 12 weeks; then cracked yel low corn hopper-fed in addition tc the mash until they are large •■nough to eat whole yellow corn. A good starter mixture is 8C rounds of yellow corn meal, 4C }? runds of wheat middlings, 20 pounds of meat scraps, five pounds r' dried buttermilk, and 1.4 pounds rf salt. If milk is available the dned buttermilk may be omitted. At the University of Michigan it ' as found that poults make a lit- 1 'c faster growth when fed a high er protein ration than this, say : 1 pounds of meat scraps, or 10 pounds of buttermilk. However, if the market next fall demands a imall turkey as it did last fall, it would not be wise to increase the protein content of the ration to stimulate growth, because this practice increases the cost of the ration and also the cost per pound of meat produced.
