SOUTH CAROLINA Thursday, February 11, 1937 w* % tm m Wm ’i'i gi ft m - Life Underwriters Will Make A Concert ed Drive To Raise $250,000 For Lander College Endowment Greenwood, S. C., Feb. 4.—Life underwriters of South Carolina, invited by Lander College to co operate in the institution’s $1,000- 000 Endowment and Development Program, will make a concerted ef fort in the two-week period from February 18 to March 2 to raise a minimum of $250,000 toward the fund. Plans for the insurance program, in which ten-year endowment poli cies will be written in favor of the college, were announced by Dr. John W. Speake, president of Lan der, following a meeting of the committee for the insurance phase of the campaign at the college. This committee is inviting the general agents and managers oi the State to cooperate in the un dertaking and to designate those of their agents who are to be ac tive in tne program. The agents jo designated will be provided with credentials and instructions. Local members of the general campaign organization which is being set up throughout the State will assist the cooperating agents in their respective communities. The committee of insurance men consists of W. S. Hendley, Colum bia, chairman; M. M. Mattison, An derson, vice-chairman; D. W. Coch ran, Greenville; Carroll H.

A comedy, it deals with the Gargantuan ef forts of a metropolitan newspaper to block a law suit. Most star-studded production since “Grand Hotel” and “Dinner at Eight,” its cast is headed by Jean Harlow, William Powell, Myr- na Loy and Spencer Tracy. The original story was written into an 88-page manuscript by Wallace Sullivan, Chicago news paper featured writer until he went to Hollywood to write for the screen. It was adapted to the screen by Maurine Watkins, long a star reporter on the Chicago Tribune who came to fame and Hollywood after writing the play, “Chicago”; and Howard Emmett Rogers and George Oppenheimer, veteran sce narists. Situations and characters which only a .reporter would be likely to know, animate the sprightly story of an heiress who brings suit against a great newspaper and one-time reporter who is rchired by his paper to defeat her. These are the roles played by Miss Loy and William Powell. Miss Harlow and Tracy play an af fianced couple who sacrifice their romance for a time, to the good of the cause. The largest newspaper city room yet attempted by motion pictures took its place among the Culver City settings comprising the back ground of “Libeled Lady.” Filling half of a block-square sound stage, it was peopled by 120 charactetr extras, lighted by 275 lamps of all sizes, outfitted with 210 telephones and 75 typewriters, 93 desks and as many waste paper baskets. It was complete with the familiar long telegraph desk, enormous round copy desk, known to news papermen as “the gutter,” and a battery of teletype machines. As a further note of realism, the casting office with the help of a technical expert with years experi ence on New York dailies, provided rewrite men and reporters who had played in real life the roles they essayed on the screen.

In Defense Of Soil New U. S. Farmers Buy Good Stock At Greenwood Five Bettor Sires Sale". Send Pure bred Into Many Parts Of S:atc Greenwood, Feb. 1.—Over 1000 people attended the combinatio” better sire sale—the largest evei held in the southeast—at Green wood on January 29. This sale was sponsored by the Clemson College Extension Service. These sales—four had previous ly been held in the state—are no designed to bring exhorbitan prices for purebred sires. Extensior 'authorities that quality sire are essential if farmers are to get the maximum benefit from their livestock. To this end the combi nation sales are planned to dis tribute purebred stock among a many farmers as possible. The better sires sold at Green wood were well distributed and farmers were able to buy purebred stock at prices within their means Nineteen dairy bulls, 16 hogs, 6 heel bulls, 9 cockerels, and 1 gobble! were sold, and thus better livestock sires were scattered through nine South Carolina counties: Green wood, Laurens, Aiken, Greenville, Newberry, Edgefield, Oconee, York and Abbeville. R. D. Steer, Greenwood county farm agent, was in charge of the sale, and other representatives of the Clemson College Extension Service, the Jersey Cattle Club, the Guernsey Cattle Club, and the Southern Railway’s agricultural de velopment service also aided in conducting the sale. world just what is being done in Bible gives to him such prominence “when you meet him, sleepless, far sighted, weather-beaten, armed, leaning on his staff, and looking out over his scattered sheep, every one of them on his heart.” Note, as an impressive illustra tion of this tender solicitude, Jiat A U 11 ♦* each sheep has its own name.

Because of advanced headway made by erosion, farmers are band ing themselves together in soil con servation associations to cooperate closely with each other and with federal and state agricultural agen cies in a frontal attack on the problem, it is pointed out in the bulletin, which concludes with rhe optimistic note, “The cooperative attack, say observers in the Pied mont, will do the job.” There are 20 such county soil conservation associations in South Carolina.

G.—Treating cot ton seed with Cercsan dust was not only meritorious but aided in in creasing profits for the farmers who tried it in 1936. according to W. C. Nettles, extension entomolo gist. On the basis of results reported on 64 demonstrations. Nettles has estimated that if every acre of is Farmers’ Bulletin 1767, and may I cotton planted with treated seci be obtained from the Superinten- averaged as well as the 1936 dem- dent of Documents, Washington, D.

There fore, In a number of hives the bees will run short of food especially if February and March are cold, and some of these hives will have to onstrations, the seed treated in South Carolina last year would in crease the farmers’ wealth in this state by $544,800. The Ceresan treatment is very economical, costing only 10 to 15 cents an acre. The equipment used was also very simple and economi cal. It consisted of a pipe run through d discarded 55 gallon oil drum suspended on two wooden horses. Two bushels of seed and six ounces of two per cent Ceresan were placed In the drum which was slowly revolved for two min utes. According to Mr. Nettles, the most striking results were obtain-*- ed in instances where cold rainy weather (not frost) came a few days after planting. However, satisfactory results were obtained with cotton coming up in June af ter remaining in the soil for two months. Root comparisons at the time of chopping showed the value of the treatment, and later, observations showed that some of the. badly dis eased plants died. There was an average of 15.3 per cent more bolls on the treated areas than on the untreated, and 27.5 per cent more plants were present on the treated areas than on the untreated. “The treatment bids fair to be come an established practice in. this state”, Mr. Nettles says. -1X2- Research For Farmers Shown In 49th Report Of Experiment Station Clemson, Jan. 30.—“During the past year several developments have given impetus to the research program of the South Carolina Ex periment Station, the most im portant of which was the beginning of several new investigation proj ects made possible by the passage* of the federal Bankhead-Jones Act”, says Dr. H. P. Cooper, dh- rcctor of the station, in connec tion with the publication of the 49th Annual Report of the station. Other forward steps noted by Director Cooper include the con struction of the new agriculture building at Clemson (which will house tire Experiment Station headquarters along with the School of Agriculture and the Extension Service); the legislative provision fer the establishment of a new branch station in Barnwell county to be known as the Edisto Experi ment Station; and the construc tion of such new facilities at Clem son as a greenhouse for horticul- nral research and 200 additional concrete soil plots for study of soil problems. The 49th Annual Report, which covers the year ending June' 30; 1936, is a 144-page report of the station’s agricultural research ac tivities covering studies in agricul tural economics, home economics, agronomy, horticulture, entomolo gy, plant pathology, animal hus bandry, dairy husbandry, poultry hasbandry, andiother matters. The various studies were made at the several units of the station—the headquarters unit at Clemson, the Fee Dee Station at Florence, the Sandhills Station at Pontiac, the Coast Station at SDmmerviUe, and t! s Truck Station at Charleston.
