CLEMSON, March 16.—Remind ing owners of livestock that cases of screw-worm infestation were re ported from the southwestern counties of the state last year and that one case was even found in Ocoree county, W. C. Nettles, ex tension entomologist advises prep aration against possible outbreaks during the coming summer. Severe losses were reported in Florida and South Georgia during 1933 and 1934. he says. To avoid the possibility of screw- worm losses, Mr. Nettles suggests that owners castrate, dehorn, mark, dock, or brand animals on which such work is to be done before May 1 at the latest. This "ijraditice is one of several which will greatly aid in holding the screw-worm in check should the pest continue to spread and menace the livestock of this: state. j Screw-worm outbreaks should be | prevented as largely as possible, but ’ satisfactory Pleasures of control — have been devised by the U.

POLICE COMMISSIONER SOLVES CROP MYSTERY The reason some crops are weak and { >oor when on the other side of the ence they are thick and luxuriant has been solved to the satisfaction of Police Commissioner B. W. Walker of Barn well, S. C. He says good crops are always grown when American nitrate of soda is used, because of its high nitrogen content and purity. According to Police Commissioner Walker, farmers who use American nitrate of soda are helping themselves by following" Dr. Charles H. Herty’s recent advice of “Southern fertilizers for the Southern farmer.” For these reasons use and recom mend ARCADIAN, THE AMERICAN NITRATE OF SODA pure and eure Livestock On Farms In This State On January 1, 1935 Chevrolet 1935 Truck Announcement FOR SALE—Coker’s Farm Relief No. 1 Cotton Seed at $1.00 per bushel, and Coker’s Farm Relief No. 2 Cotton Seed at $1.25 per bushel.

Improved commercial car models having more power, higher torque or pulling ability, greatly increased braking efficiency, and numerous improvements in engine and chassis, have been announced by the Chevrolet Motor Company. In addition to the 1-2-ton trucks of .Th? annual livestock survey o‘f the United States Department of Agriculture shows more mules on South Carolina farms January 1, 1935. than a year earlier but fewer horses and hogs, while the number of milk cows, all cattle, and sheep remain the same, adcording to re port issued February 20th by Frank O. Black, Agricultural Statistician, Columbia. During the year 1934 the number of mules increased 2 per cent, but horses and hogs declined 5 and 6 per cent respectively. The 1934 spring pig crop was es timated as 220,000 head or a de crease of 26 per cent from the pre vious spring; the 1934 fall crop at 203,000 head or a 7 per cent de crease from the fall of 1933. Thus the total number of • pigs saved during 1934 was 423,000 head or 18 per cent below the number saved in 1933. The aggregate valufe of all farm livestock in the State on January 1, 1935, is estimated at $33,691,uuj, which is 14 per cent above the value of $29,356;000 a year ealiei but 49 per cent greater than the value of $22,475,000 on January 1,! 1933.

The Chris- ! second sition is, correct, then Peter, al though his name is attached to the letter, did not really write it, for he perished, according to tradition, in the earlier massacre under Nero. The letter has three main divi sions. In the first section, chap. 1:1 to 2:10, the writer speaks of the blessed hope made available through Christ, and urges his read ers to live worthily of it. In the part, chap. 2:11 to 4:6, tian flock is regarded as the true Israel of God, scattered about in little groups here and there as ex iles in the midst of a harsh, hostile world. which includes our eloquent lesson text, he gives directions for con duct, and recommends patience un der suffering.

PRICES on Canuine Boyer A.pir’n Rad>coHy o.i All Sittt Standard sedan delivery, intended for the fast dispatch of light mer chandise. A wide variety of fac tory-built bodies, designed to meet the special requirements of differ ent industries and trades, is avail able. Prices remain at the low levels established last year, when Chevrolet led the industry in truck registrations. The chassis prices, ac cording to the Chevrolet announce ment, are the lowest in the world. The Chevrolet models for 1935 re tain the general characteristics of the previous line'in layout and de sign; mechanically, however, they incorporate many refinements and added features. Changes in the engines include improved spark advance control, heaver crankshaft with improved counterweighting and harmonic balancer, selective balancing of rotating parts, high pressure oil stream lubrication to connecting rod bearings, increased, ^>il pump capacity, electro-plated pistons, greater water pump capacity, and improved cylinder-head tempera ture distribution. Brakes and braking have been greatly increased in efficiency and ease of operation, now possessing such features as lighter pedal pressAe, higher coefficient of friction in the lining, limited artic ulation of brake shoes, and in creased life of linings. As a result, the new trucks can be stopped in half the distance formerly required. Improvements in manifolding, car - buretion, timing and valves, through the adoption of the Chevrolet Blue Flame design of the Master engine for this year’s truck engine has re sulted in a horsepower capacity of 70 in the 1935 trucks, a gain of 10 horsepower over last year. Maxi mum pulling power is developed, with 150 foot pounds torque, at low engine speeds, corresponding to 17 to 24 m. p. h. speed range. A new system of lubrication serves the crank-pin bearings of the connecting rods. The oil pump forces high-pressure jets of oil to flow constantly from six nozzles, one in each oil trough, directed up ward so that the streams are hi the paths of the connecting rod dippers as they approaoh and pass bottom dead center. These dippers thus receive oil during a prolonged period of each revolution. The high velocity of the dipper against the. stream of oil, added to the velocity of the oil jets, builds up a tremendous pressure that insures a copious supply of oil to the bear ing. Oil dilution is prevented by a patented crankcase ventilator which discharges gasoline fumes and vapors into the air stream un derneath the-oil pan. The feature i of the ventilator is that heavy oil vapors are trapped and condensed, | to return to the crankcase, as a measure' of economy. | An important contribution to smooth engine performance Is the | use of electro-plated pistons, which 'considerably shortens the period for the proper breaking-in of the engine. ) In the 1-2-ton model, smoother per head more than offset the de crease in numbers and the total value for horses is $2,079,UU0 com pared with $1,804,000 last January ahd $1,449,000 in January 1933. The number of farm mules i- estimated at 168,000 compared witu 165,000 for each of the two previous years. The average price per head is given as $l37.ou, wnicn compares witn $117.00 for January 1^34 and $77.00 in January 1933. me total value of $23,016,000 is 19 per cent above the 1934 value and 31 per cent greater than the 1933 value. All cattle and calves show no change in numbers, the estimate of 290,000 head being tne same as that of the two previous years. The price per head of $2o.2J is only slightly above 1934 and 1933 and the total value of $5,869,000 com pares with $5,831,000 last year and $5,658,000 for 1933. Milk cows at 156,000 head show little change and the price of $28.0J each and total value of $4,368,000 is the same as in January* 1934 but slightly above 1933. Hog numbers (including pigs) have declined in recent years, the estimate of 449,000 head on January 1 being 6 per cent below 1934 and 20 per cent below 1933. The price per head has risen, however, and the average of $5.70 is 70 cents above last year and a dollar great er than in January 1933. The total value of $2,580,000 compares with $2,370,000 last year and $2,623,000 for the previous year. The number of sheep and lambs change little from year to year in South Carolina and the estimate of 15,000 head and $46,500 total value i<§ about the same as in recent years. tXT Barley equals corn as a feed for milch cows, according to tests at the North Dakota Agricultural Col- lege. operation is procured through the adoption of a new waved driven plate that eliminates chatter even at light driving load applications; (as when the clutch is only partly released in parking maneuvers). Revisions of springing have been made in the various models to pro- - vide for a wide variation of the load, and for greater strength, j Heavier auxiliary springs of greater capacity, available for the 1 1-2-ton truck, permit this unit to be oper ated with a greatly increased pay load. The 1-2-ton panel model springs are lighter than formerly, to provide easy riding for the safe transportation of light or fragile merchandise. The new sedan delivery on the New Standard chassis, having a Fisher body of the same size and appearance as the Standard sedan, with no-draft ventilation, is an nounced by Chevrolet as the lowest priced enclosed commercial car on the market. It was designed es pecially to provide economical fast delivery service for merchants and businesses handling light mer chandise.
