during the coming summer. Severe
losses were reported in Florida and

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

According to Police Commissioner
Walker, farmers who use American

.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,!

The first letter of Peter is one of
the most inspired books in the
Bible, beautiful in its spirit of
whole-hearted devotion. 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,

Method
Wonderfully Easy
REMEMBER PICTURES HERE
Here’s a safe, modern and effective
way to relieve sore throat. A way
that eases the pain, rawness and
irritation in as little as two or three
minutes. Many doctors advise it and
millions are following this way. Try it.
All you do is crush and stir 3
BAYER Aspirin Tablets in H glass
of water and gargle with it twice—
as pictured here. (If you have signs
of a cold, take BAYER Aspirin and
drink plenty of water.)
Get real BAYER Aspirin Tablets
for this purpose. They disintegrate
quickly and completely, making a
gargle without irritating particles.
BAYER Aspirin prices have been
decisively reduced, so there’s no
point now in accepting other than
the real Bayer article you want.

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.
