Former 4-H Club Boys
Excel* As College Men
Clemson, May 29.—Former 4-H
club beys now enrolled at Clemson
College were outstanding as win
ners of scholarship honors at the
recent annual scholarship day here,
says Dan Lewis, state boys’ club
agent, who expresses his belief that
4-H club training is both practi
cally beneficial and inspirational
to club members.
Jess Willard Jones, former 4-H
club boy of Greenville county, was
named for highest honor of upper
classmen, and many other former
4-H members and members of the
college 4-H club were listed in this
group.
Willard Jones, William Epps, and
James Hendrix, former 4-H club
boys, were three of eight members
of the senior class who have quali
fied for high honors for four con
secutive years.
Among other former 4-H club
boys listed on the honor roll this
year are: M. C. Valentine, Jr.,
Cope; O. H. Folk, Charleston; H.
W. LeMaster, Gaffney; C. H. Cool

Family Dairy Cows
Must Be Well Chosen
Clemson, May 29.—The kind of
cow kept on the farm and the way
she is fed will determine very defi
nitely the quantity and to some de
gree the quality of milk produced,
says C. G. Cushman, extension
dairy specialist, discussing the se
lection of the family cow in con
nection with the Extension Service
movement for greater use of milk
and its products in South Caro
lina farm homes.
Pointing out that all animals are
bred and fed for certain functions:
the horse for power, the beef ani
mal for meat, the sheep to produce
meat and wool, the dairy cow to|
produce milk, Mr. Cushman says
regarding the selection of a dairy
eow:
“First of all, the cow which is
kept for milk ^production should
obviously be bred for that purpose
She should definitely show physi
cal characteristics of one of the
recognized dairy breeds.
“Cows within these recognized
breeds will vary widely in their in
heritance for high milk production.
It is important, then, to select
cows from ancestry with known
high production.
“It has been truthfully said that
most cows are better bred than
led. No amount or kind of feed
will influence a poorly bred cow
to produce heavily, nor will a cow
bred for high production produce
heavily unless fed properly. The
cow can manufacture milk only in
proportion to the amount and kind
•f feed fed to her.
“Other things being equal, the
large cow will produce more heav-
fly than the small cow within any
given dairy breed. Size is important
in the family cow in order that she
may consume large amounts of
roughage feeds such as cured hay,
pasture grass, and other grazing
crops. These are the most economi
cal sources of food nutrients for
the cow and will be the most easily
supplied for the farm family cow.”

W \ v '
Columbia, May 27.—The Motor
Vehicle Division of the State High
way Department is now receiving
applications for driver’s licenses,
and it is expected that more than
500,000 persons will have been
licensed to drive motor vehicles in
South Carolina by the night of
June 30th.
All motor vehicle drivers of the
1 ~tate renuired bv law to obtain
a new license before July 1st. Those
1 who already hold licenses must re
new theirs. The new and re-newed
licenses will cover a four-year
period.
I It was pointed out this week that
i the fee for this four-year license
remains at 50 cents. Those who
wish a metal tag can obtain that
form of certificate by paying an
additional 10 cents. The 50-cents
license is a paper card, certifying
that the person whose name it
bears has been duly licensed as a
driver in South Carolina. Although
it was proposed in the General As
sembly this year that the fees be
changed, they were not. Not until
adjournment was it assured there
would be no change. The Highway
Department has mailed approxi
mately 575,000 application blanks
to automobile owners in the State.
Drivers who fail to renew their
licenses by June 30th, will be sub
ject to prosecution under the
state’s motor vehicle laws.
Applicants for new or re-newal
licenses are urged to mail in their
filled out ‘ blanks immediately.
Refhittances should be by Post Of
fice Money Orders or Cashier's
Checks. The Highway Department
cannot be responsible for. cash.
Officials of the Motor Vehicle
Division are directing attention to
a major change in the application
blanks. This time, it is required
that the applicant give his or her
full name. Initials are not suf
ficient, as it has been found this
results in many names and initials
that are identical.

Camp Bradley News

Camp Bradley, May 29. — The
foremen’s quarters at camp have
b Q fm filled for the entire week with
visitors from the Atlanta and Co
lumbia offices. Mr. Vernon and Mr.
Rainey have been here for a week
in connection with road and bridge
work. Mr. Gerhart, from the Co
lumbia office, has been here work
ing with Mr. McFarland in connec
tion with Land Use survey work
and Mr. Sullivan, also from the Co
lumbia office, has been here in
connection with recreational de
velopment work. Mr. Mielke, of the
Columbia office, has been here in
connection with the work being
done on the Hardlabor Creek
bridge.
Foreman Tompkins has complet
ed driving the piles for the Hard-
labor bridge and thus has complet
ed one of the hardest parts of this
construction job. The men who
have been on this work found it to
be very interesting as well as a
very hdrd job and will undoubtedly
have a satisfied feeling when the
entire bridge is completed.
The telephone crew under the
direct supervision of J. K. Maye has
been working on the telephone line
from Modoc to Miller’s Crossroads
which will serve the new camp in
the lower District located at Modoc.
Men on this crew will be glad when
the handling of the cresoted poles
is over as there is always the
1 handicap of receiving “cresote
'burns” while working with freshly
t
cresoted material. This, however,
'has not seemed to bother the men
I and they are making rapid progress
'with the construction,
j The camp personnel is very sorry
to hear of the transfer of Mr. J.
Mikell Leland to the Enoree Dis
trict to temporarily assist them
there in their Special Use and Land
Use work. It is expected that Mr.
Leland will return to Bradley in
about a month’s time.
Superintendent Allen was away
from camp Monday and Tuesday
due to the illness of Mrs. Allen
in Edgefield. The entire company
was very glad to hear upon his re
turn that Mrs. Allen was not se
riously ill.
The District dental officer is in
camp and the teeth of the com
pany are having a general over-
| hauling.

In Soil-Conserving
N Crops Under AAA
The 1936 acreage of soil-conserv
ing crops in the Southern Region,
in which South Carolina is located,
was the largest on record, Cully
A. Cobb, director of the, Agricul
tural Adjustment Administration’s
Southern Division, has advised
County Agent R. D. Suber.
Cobb said there was a total of
approximately 21,500,000 acres in
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Geor
gia, Louisiana, Mississippi. Okla
homa, South Carolina, and ’/’exas,
on which soil-conserving crops
were planted last year by produc
ers participating in the program,
an increase of approximately 80C
per cent over 1929. This figure in
cludes soil-conserving practice. 0
that were substituted in lieu of
soil-conserving crops.
Increased plantings of cowpeas
velvet beans, and other summer
beans accounted for a large por
tion of this acreage. There wa.°
also a marked increase in the
acreage of vetch and Austrian peas
in the Region.
Cobb said* reports showed that
cooperating farmers in the South
ern Region diverted 11,046,000 acres
of cropland from soil-depletina
crops to soil-conserving crops in
1936. Of this total, diverted cotton
acres led all other crops by a wide
margin, accounting for 9,069,000 of
the diverted acres; 1,819,000 acres
were diverted from general crops*
129,000 acres from peanuts; and
30,000 acres from tobacco to soil-
conserving crops.
“Most of the lands that have
been diverted from cotton and
other soil-depleting crops under
our program have been planted to
soil-conserving crops with conse
quent general improvement”, Cobb
said.
“This report”, he added, “should
be particularly gratifying to those
southern farm leaders who have
long urged the cotton farmer to
seek prosperity by diversifying his
crops. Most farmers realize the
value of soil-conserving crops,
which in themselves represent di
versification on most farms. Unti’
the Conservation program came
along, many farmers were force,
to plant all their land in soil-de
pleting crops in an effort to in
crease their meager income
through volume.
“Now, by taking advantage o'
the conservation program, farmers
can qualify for payments sufficient
to bear part of the expense of di
versification and at the same time
help secure a fair price for the
soil-depleting crops they do pro
duce.”
