June 8.—Three com mon faults in the production of roughage for dairy cows in South Carolina are pointed out by C. G. Cushman, extension dairyman— first, too little seed is put on the land; second, the crop is cut at the wrong time; third, the product is not properly cured. Scant seeding, the specialist says, not only results in a lowered ton nage per acre but permits grass and weed growth which definitely low ers the quality of the roughage. For best results he advises seeding as follows: Peas, two to three bushels pet acre in 20 to 24 inch rows, one and one-half inches in the drill; oats and vetch, .three bushels of oats and 30 popnds: of vetch; les- pedeza, one bushel. As to time of cutting Mr. Cush man suggests .that all legumes should be cut .in ihe blbom or not later than early.pod stage; oats and vetch, not later than early milk stage of the grain. Greater ton nage, higher food value per ton, better palatability* and surer pres ervation, of essential vitamins are secured by cutting at the proper stage. - Asserting that proper curing of summer-grov^n*' roughages is diffi cult in South ‘Carolina, Mr. Cush man urges .farmers to give this mat ter greater ttfofrght and, when cur ing time comes;' 'to follow those practices that-oe&ult in a good pea- green cured leafy, hay. Details re garding curing, methods and other feed and feeding problems are found In two of Mr. Cushman’s extension publications: Extension Bulletin 54, Feeding and Management of Dairy Cattle, and the. recently issued Ex tension Circular A 4 ** Looking Ahead In Dairying. .

Wood, National Servic Director, Chevrolet Motor Co.) a broken neck near a grade cross ing a few yards from his home shortly after midnight Friday night, “cams to his death by being hit by a C. &: W. C. train,” a cor oner’s jury found at the inquesi held in the Troy school auditorium yesterday afternoon. Fireman A. S. Mauldin of the I double-header freight en route to Augusta, testified at the inquest that ‘■£.3 we were approaching the crossing about 80 feet away I saw a man lying on the left side of the track with his head on the rail. I hollered at the engineer to hold up. He applied the brakes in emergen cy and asked me what was the trou ble. I told him we had hit a man on the crossing. When we got stop ped we went back and found it was a white man and he was dead. We ran 19 car lengths after we hit him. We were running between 20 and 25 miles an hour and it was impossible to stop after we saw him. I couldn’t tell what part of the en gine hit him but it must have been the pilot. He was lying on his right side with his face towards Augusta He was knocked about a car length, or about 40 feet.” Engineer Testifies Engineer L. S. Givens testified as follows: “While passing through Troy I had the engine whistle blow ing and the bell ringing. Just oast of Troy I was approaching a small road crossing. I was blowing the whistle. Fireman Mauldin hollered to me to stop. I threw the brakes in emergency, stopping the train and asked what was the trouble and he said a man was lying on the left side of the track with his head on the rail. I examined the front of the engine to see if I could see where the engine struck anything, but we could find no sign. Then we went back to the crossing and found a white man about a car lep^th from the; crossing. He was dead. I was looking ahead at this crossing on account of a curve to the left. I was unable to see the left rail. It was 12:20 a. m. It was a double-header engine. We were running between 20 and 25 miles an hour.” Dr. J. M. Symmes, coroner’s phy sician, testified that Mr. Lyon’s death was due to a broken neck. He also said that the whole right side of his face was skinned off. The coroner’s jury was composed of J. Rufus Palmer, foreman, W. P. Long. J. D. Dansby, J. S. Harris, Jr, L. 3. Talbert and S. J. Russell. Funeral services for Mr. Lyon will be conducted at the Troy cem- cteiy this afternoon at 3 o’clock by the Rev. O. L. Orr, Baptist pastor. Mr. Lyon was the only son of the late James W. Lyon and Hettie Burnett Lyon and was a native of Troy. He . is survived by one daughter, Ivliss Mabel, a graduate of Lander College this year, and three sisters. Miss Margaret Lyon, postmistress at Troy, Mrs. J. C. Dowtin, of the Troy section, and Mrs. Sam King, cf Plum Branch. X. Rehoboth JNews \ (Written For Last Week.) “Tune up before you tour” is ad vice that, if followed, will do more than any other one thing to make a motor trip a real pleasure trip. Soon millions of motorists will take to the open road for vacation trips. Some will start with no preliminary preparation of their cars, others will make sure before hand that all is well mechanically. The chances of enjoying a 100 per cent pleasurable trip are strongly with those who tune up before they tour. Thousands who use their cars daily for only a few miles in their regular routine, with never any trouble, do not realize that a car that seems to work well in the city may be quite unfit to undertake long-distance high-speed trips. Lit tle faults that need correction re main unnoticed through months of ordinary driving; when the car is suddenly called upon to work at full power over long periods, these little faults may develop into big ger faults that detract largely from the fun of motoring. Both’ safety and pleasure are at stake when vacationists start out without having their car carefully inspected and its faults corrected. The principal safety items,:-of ourse, are brakes and steeripg— and in most cases simple adjust ments are all that they require. Good tires are required for both safety and pleasure. All lights should have good bulbs, and head- ight beams must be properly ad- * justed. New windshield wiper blades are not costly, but are of much ralue when they are needed. For comfort and uninterrupted pleasure, everything should be done ’hat will guarantee continuous ’avel without enforced halts. A notor tune-up is one of the best of precautionary measures. The bat- ery should be checked carefully, and the generator charging rate adjusted for long distance running t good speed. A complete change af lubricants in crankcase, trans- nission and rear axle is recom mended and, of course, a thorough greasing cf the chassis. Shock absorbers alwavs are subjected to evere use on a vacation trip over strange reads, and should be ad justed before ’he departure. For seme strange reason, vaca tion motorists are always greatly sir prised to find that cars tha^ have seemed all right at home “heat up” as soon as they get out on (the open road. They havt ovej>- ^ ! looked the fact that the faster the ■a. I '■I and .

ML: Vena Bryant is visiting that was h for runs to the office be veral CCC j times as much heat on a long climb in the mountains. To function properly, the cooling system must allow free circulation of the water, which calls for a clean radiator and good rubber connections, with re newed or tightened pump packing. Highly important, too, is the prop er adjustment of the fan belt, which on long, fast runs must car ry a far greater load than in city driving. Incidentally, bodies that seem dead silent on city boulevards often reveal an astounding variety of squeaks and rattles when the car really gets going. It will add a lot to the vacationist’s happiness if he will have the body bolts tightened, door hinges and catches tightened and oiled, and everything made snug. There will be a lot of motor tour ing this year. And there will be a lot of pleasure for millions of tour- ho me folks. Mrs. S. M. Morgan and Miss A. L. Morgan enjoyed the afternoon Sunday with Mrs. Ethan White and Mrs. H. M. Freeland. Mrs. Carrie W. Freeland enjoyed a day Last week having as her guests her cider sister, Mrs. Fannie Rob erson, Mrs. Daisy Langley and Mrs. Wm. Freeland. “Old Folks Day” was well attend ed and enjoyed at Plum Branch Baptist Church Sunday morning. A splendid service and appropriate songs were much enjoyed by all.
