DRENNAN Main Street McCormick, S. C. 3* Brushing' the Teeth In 1777, one year after the out break of the American Revolution, the social revolution of brushing teeth was introduced in France. It was introduced at the court of Ver sailles by an English doctor. It met numerous enemies. Some diners kept their teeth healthy by picking up a chop joint and gnawing away at the bone. Old Morro Castle Morro Castle, standing like a sen tinel at the sea gate to the city of Havana, is more than 300 years old. It has been battered in many fights, its most notable resistance being against Albermarle’s fleet in 1762, when the British were held off for a month. xx -XX- Temperatures of Humr.n Blood Temperatures of the human blood have been known to run as high as 107 degrees and as low as 94 de grees. Clinical thermometers run to 110 degrees, leaving a margin of 3 degrees. Strange Indian Name “Strike-on-Both-Sides” was the unusual name of an Indian maid, so called because when a litGe girl she 1 was rescued from other Indians i about to kill her by her father, who struck down her captors on both .sr'pc Destroy Stalks Early To Kill Boll Weevils Clcmson, Aug. 28.—Only a very small percentage of the cotton boll weevils deprived of food by Oc tober 1 will live to damage cotton the following season, states W. C.( Nettles, extension entomologist, asserting that early destruction of cctton stalks is an effective way to reduce the number of weevils going into hibernation. Information regarding county wide campaigns for the destruc tion of cotton stalks has been re quested, and reports from farmers through county agents indicate that with the heavy infestation of weevils in the coastal section of the state farmers are anxious to destroy stalks as soon as they finish picking cotton. To be really effective stalk de struction must be early, and this early destruction does not involve an extra operation, for stalks will be destroyed during the winter anyway; so, Mr. Nettles asks, why not early? “Early stalk destruction tends to reduce weevil populations in two ways”, he explains. “First, further breeding after the crop is picked and before frost comes is prevent ed by drying out of weevil-infested squares and bolls. Second, feeding by adult weevils is prevented, many of them dying before going into hibernation and others going into the winter on an empty stomach and having reduced chances of survival. In the coastal section of the state, with cotton maturing earlier than usual and with heavy weevil infestation, early stalk de struction appears to * be a very practical means of reducing weevil numbers.” xx Preparing For Winter Family Cow Feeding Clemson, Aug. 28.—Pasture grass es, grazing crops, and bright green- cured hays are the natural feeds for dairy cows, and these supplied in abundance make smaller amounts of grain feed necessary, says C. G. Cushman, urging owners of family cows as well as dairy farmers to begin preparation for satisfactory winter feeding. “The basis of winter feeding is an ample amount of bright, green- cured legume hay”, Cushman states. “The amount of vitamin content of the milk is definitely In fluenced by ‘green color’ in feeds fed the cow. So we see that the right kind of feed is important for the cow. “Pasture grasses and green-cured legume hays carry an abundance of green color. In addition, the legume hays are high in mineral matter, which is also important in the proper feeding of dairy cattle. Grass hays, cottonseed hulls, or le gume hays that have been over cured and are brown or straw-col ored, are not desirable roughages. “Small grain crops make excel lent grazing for the family cow during the winter months when the condition of the soil will per mit grazing. These crops are fun damental to good farming as sources of all kinds of livestock feed and in crop rotations. Graz ing by the family cow will not in jure the crop. This wintertime grazing maintains the vitamin content of the milk, is healthful for the cow, and produces a rich golden color in the milk and but ter made from it.” x Hunting Dates Are Announced Schedule Is Arranged For Dove And Other Seasons In State The following schedule of dates and rules for the 1937-33 frc^ral hunting seasons in South Carolina has been issued: Doves in the counties of Aiken.

Camp Modoc News Camp Modoc, Aug. 28.—The Proj ect Superintendents, Company Commanders, and Educational Ad visors meeting was held at Camp Star Fort, Greenwood, S. C., on Au gust 25. Project Superintenden Reece, Company Commander Bush, and Educational Advisor James at tended the meeting. If present plans materialize, the camp buildings will soon be paint ed, adding to the attractiveness of the camp area. All of the work projects have been very seriously handicapped this week due to heavy rainfall. Mr. Archer Smith, of the Colum bia office, reports that the game management around the Key Bridge Tower has quite an abun dance of quail and other wild liie. Several coveys of these birds have been seen by work crews upon passing through this area. The site selected for the game sanctuary has every possibility for becoming one of the best reserves in the S. C. & Croatan National Forests. Mr. John H. Bennett and T. A. McFarland are now at Camp F-ll doing w r ork in connection with the farm survey of McCormick County. The tractor demonstration held on the McAdams’ farm in the Level Land section was attended by over 300 farmers, showing great inter est in this method of cultivating crops.—Z. D. Robertson, Abbeville. More summer legumes have been planted than ever before. Though proud of a yield well above the state average, farmers are adopt ing the slogan: “To make the good land better”.—H. A. Woodle, Aiken. The corn crop is the best in a number of years. Farmers expect to make enough for home use and many will have a good surplus to market through hogs and cattle.— W. H. Pressly, Allendale. We have been able so far to keep all three terracing outfits going all summer, and I believe we will have sufficient idle land to operate un til crops are gathered.—E. P. Josey, Anderson. Producers show much more in terest toward beef and hog produc tion now than at any time during the past eight years, with consid erable thought toward better bred animals.—W. H. Craven, -Bamberg. The 24 Irish potato enterprise records forwarded to Clemson show a production cost of about $100 an acre and only one producer has failed to show a small profit.—T. H. Seabrook, Beaufort. The unusually large tomato crop has been harvested and for most growers satisfactory yields and prices were secured. The spring of 1938 will find a much larger acre age of this crop.—C. W. Carraway, Charleston. The Chester County Guernsey Cattle Club has definitely decided to hold its second annual sale Nov. 2. We will have 35 females and five bulls consigned to the sale.—M. C. Crain, Chester. Producers are very enthusiastic over their cotton crop where it was preceded by Austrian winter peas, and as a result more winter kgumes will be planted in thh county this fall.—W. J. Tiller, Chesterfied. Our farmers are realizing the economic value of turning their ! :gs on corn that has just past the mutton stage. Soybeans plant ed for hog-grazing is another prac tice that is being followed by many ^rmers.—J. W. Talbert, assistant, e larendon. We have the best corn prospects ve have had in a number of years. Corn is hogs, and with a bumper crop of corn hogs will be increased. —J. M. Napier, Darlington. During July 90 hogs were mar keted bringing total sales of hogs for the year to 2,966 weighing 591,- 530 pounds netting $54,317.54. More hogs are on feed than ever before. —G. C. Meares, Dorchester.
