the following timely reminders on
the proper care of livestock for
May.
Dairying
Plan for two tons of soybean or
peavine hay for each mature cow
and mie ton for each yearling.
If a silo is to be filled this fall,
hive ample com or cane.
Plant enough extra com to sup
ply eight bushels of corn -and-cob
meal per cow this winter.
Sow one-half acre of Sudan
grass, or Teosinti or Pearl millet
Sot each cow for soiling or grazing
purposes in July and August.
Do not graze permanent pastures
too closely.
Clean out the barns and prem
ises to save manure and destroy
breeding places for flies.
Animal Husbandry
Place weanling pigs on succulent

See that pigs are not on terri
tory infested with internal para
sites. • x
Observe pigs for lice and if in
fested grease them with motor oil.
Feed 30 days and market sows
which have not raised good litters.
Feed lambs in a creep with a
palatable well-balanced concen
trate. .
Observe beef cows with young
calves closely and see if the udders
need milking.
If sheep are infested with
stomach worms give them treat
ment two to three weeks apart.
If horses or mules have sore
shoulders, see that collars fit and
are kept clean and wash shoulders
with salt water.
Poultry
Clean and disinfect the brooder
houses each week.
Cull all weak, slow growing pull
ets and sell as broilers.
Cull the non-laying hens and
sell. Do not keep boarding hens.
Remove males from laying flock
when incubation season is over.
Produce infertile eggs.

Better Cotton Contest
Again For This Year
CLEMSON, April 27.—Director D
W. Watkins of the Extension Serv
ice announces that the South Caro
lina Five-Acre Cotton Staple Im
provement contest will be con
tinued in 1935 on the same basis
as in former years.
The cotton contest, begun in 1926
by the Extension Service for better
staple and more economic yields
was continued annually through
1931, premium money having been
given the first year by The State
Company, Columbia, and thereaf
ter by the Cotton Manufacturers
Association. There was no con
test in 1932 or 1933, but demon
strations to the same end were
conducted by county farm agents.
A great improvement in cotton
staples resulted from the contests,
says R. W. Hamilton, extension
agronomist in charge of the work,
who says in this connection:
“In 1920, less than 20 per cent
of the South Carolina cotton crop
was 15-16 inch in length or longer.
During the next five years, when
contests were held, the length in
creased over the state until 75 per
cent of the 1932 crop was 15-16
inch or longer. In 1933, the sec
ond year after the lapse of the
contests, the average for the crop
decreased so that only 65 per cent
of it was 15-16 inch or longer-”
Hie contest was resumed in
1934, and there was again an im
provement in the cotton staples in
the state.
Information regarding the de
tails of the contest is already in
the hands of county agents, and
Mr. Hamilton suggests that farm
ers who wish to enter make ar-
rahgements promptly with > the
agents.

Sin, Repentance, and Faith.
Lesson for May 5th. Luke 15:11-24.
•Golden Text: 1 John 1:9.
1
Jesus' thrilling parable of the
lost son strikes home to the very
roota.of life, so human and real is
it. Our vision is here directed
toward the discipline and reinstate
ment of a high-spirited, ambitious
soul who sinned with deliberate in
tent. ( The salvation of such a one
is the greatest miracle of God’s
grace.
Study the prodigal. Notice the
self-will revealed in his eagerness
for an immediate payment of . his
inheritance. Consider his folly, the
folly of passion and sensualism.
Visualize his severe misery, the
fruit of desperate degradation. And
ponder his repentance inspired by
hunger. It would have been nobler
if he had confessed his guilt previ
ously, before he had wholly lost his
manhood. But the story is true to
life. ThCjhard necessities of pov
erty make wise many a fool.
And what an appealing picture is
the father! Note that he allowed
the lad to have his way. Was that
weakness? On the contrary, it was
strength. For it shows that he re
spected the son’s personality, that
he trusted the boy’s free will. And
then when the youth was gone, he
waited long, with a forbearance
truly remarkable. And when his
patience is rewarded, how enthu
siastic his greeting.
There is no story grander than
this. It is surely a masterpiece of
the first rank. Here we face the
drama of humanity in both its
depths and heights. The prodigal
is the typical runagate. The father
is plainly God Himself, as revealed
in Christ. God, too, allows His
children to have their fling. And
He is infinitely patient in His long
ing for their return to His welcom
ing arms. The affectionate and
sumptuous greeting that awaited
the long lost son, on his arrival
home, betokens the unsearchable
riches of, God’s good grace to all
who truly repent and turn unto
Him.

Hot Days are Coming- Keep Cool and
Comfortable in your Ford Y 8 * * * *
M ORE than ever on hot days you will appreciate the
thoughtfulness of the Ford V-8’s makers in providing
ua easily opened windshield which lets cooling breezes
blow through to refresh you. In addition, you have a cowl
ventilator and Cleat-Vision ventilation in side windows.
A nd on hot days vou will appreciate the comfort and room-
mess of the Ford V-8, the almost effortless handling which
allows vou to arrive at the end of an all-day journey with
out fatigue.
The Ford V- 8 might have been built especially for the
South—so accurately does it taieet motoring needs in the
Southern states. For instance. Ford is the only car in
America which water-cools not only the complete cylinder
w alls, but also the upper half of the crankcase. This unique
5% gallon cooling system reduces cylinder wear and greatly
lowers oil temperature in the crankcase. This means greater
oil economy and is seconded by directed, air-flow, crank
case ventilation which reduces corrosion, lessens oil dilu
tion and cuts sludge formation to a minimum ... In the
spring and summer months you and your family spend
more time in your car—he sure its engine is designed to
run efficiently in hot weather and that passengers will keep
cool and comfortable.
Ford V-8 owners get safety-glass all around, an all-steel
welded body, built-in luggage compartment, fenders to
match the body and 6.00 x 16" air-balloon tires at no extra
cost. See the new Ford V- 8 today- Get the thrill of 8 cylinder
performance. Drive the new Ford once and you will buy it.

500.000th Ford V-8
Made Since January 1
Came Off Assembly
Line On April 22nd
DEARBORN, Mich., April 22.—
The 500.000th Ford V-8 manufac
tured since January 1 came off the
final assembly line at the Rouge
Plant of the Ford Motor Company
soon after the plant began work
this morning, it was announced at
the Ford office today. This does
not include the 36,000-odd 1935
Ford units produced during Novem
ber and December 1934.
The completion of the 500,000th
Ford V-8 unit marked the half-way
point in the Ford program for the
year, based upon Henry Ford’s
announcement last December of
his plans to build “one million cars
or better’’ in 1935.
Ford production for the first four
months through April 30 is expect
ed, according to present schedules,
to approximate 550,000 units. First
quarter production totalled 386,-;
326 units and the schedule for
April calls for 165,000 more.

Steak Perfectly
Broiled This Way
Turn but once, if you would ac
complish that poem among foods,
the perfectly broiled steak, advises
Miss Inez S. Willson, home econ
omist. * Turning a steak only
once is the very last word in broil
ing.
Not only will your thick., juicy
steak be cooked and brownec
perfection without numerous flip
pings and turnings, but the hurried
cook needs no longer keep flying
back and forth to the broiling oven
getting hotter and more flustered
with every trip.
Broiling Method
This new precept in food lore re
sults from the recent discovery that
searing to keep in the juices is not
well-founded. The steak will be just
as full of rich juiciness if it is
browned well on one side, and then
turned to the other to complete
the cooking.
j Three inches from the .broiler
flame or element is the proper
! distance for a steak to keep, and to
I lessen the danger of the fat catch
ing fire and putting forth a chok-:
ins smoke screen, the oven door is
left slightly ajar.
Salt tends to retard the steak’s
naturally fine browning capacity,
so the proper steak is seasoned
just before serving. The steak has
enough natural fat to give it an ex
cellent flavor and so it needs no
extra sauces to enhance its good
ness.
Serve Steak Hot
A steak broiled in the above man
ner should reach the table, at the
height of its goodness, piping hot
and puffy brown. Any more casual
treatment than being served im
mediately on a hot plattei; under-
^ mines its success with the diners.
