Her directions are as follows: Crystallized Grape Hulls Press pulp from the grapes, cover hulls with* boiling water and boil until they can be pierced with fork. Remove, drain well, weigh. For every pound of grapes, use 1% lb. sugar. Place sugar in preserving kettle, and to each 1% lb. sugar, add 6 oz. of water—Paddle until sugar has absorbed all water. Bring to boil and as soon as boiling be gins, add grapes, a few at a time— paddling them back and forth, until all are introduced. Be sure to keep boiling very rapid, until the hulls have absorbed all syrup and give appearance of wiped. Remove im mediately and have a large platter sprinkled with confectioners sugar. Have someone put hulls on-until each is coated. Seal in fruit jars. Bethany H. D. Club Meets ♦ The Bethany Home Demonstra tion Club met at Bethany school house Monday, September 6, at 3 o’clock p. m.

Reporter. xx Camp Bradley News Camp Bradley, Sept. 4.—Thurs day evening was quite a pleasant one for the officers, Forest Service personnel, and enrolled men of Camp Bradley. Superintendent Allen and Lieutenant Bagwell in vited a group of friends from Greenwood, McCormick, and Edge- field to be th$ dinner guests of the camp and to say a few words of farewell to the men who are leav ing September 30. After a chicken dinner served in the officer’s mess the ^Company assembled in the Recreation Hall. Lieutenant Bag- well welcomed the visitors and turned the meeting over to Super intendent Allen. Superintendent Allen related the accomplishments of the camp dur ing the past three years and thanked the enrolled men for their support and hearty cooperation on every job that had been started. He then introduced each visitor, who in turn made a few remarks concerning the debt the enrollees owe the United States Government, the taxpayers, and all American citizens. They also urged the men to find employment of some kino and settle down Two of the last speakers and the two that probably warmed the en rollees’ hearts most were Ranger David and Assistant Ranger Gid- dings. Ranger David stated that he never thought of Camp Brad ley or saw an enrollee from Brad ley without subconsciously think ing of the word loyalty. He gave a number of cases that occurred on forest fires which illustrated why he felt as he did. Assistant Ranger Giddings told Superinten dent Allen and the enrollees that it felt mighty good to know that no matter what was hurled at you or wha,t had to be done there wa_ somebody at Camp Bradley tha; could do it. One boy said afterwarc that listening to Mr. David and Mr Giddings made him feel like a firs grade pupil that had just madt the honor roll. Another thing that made the en rollees feel good were the compli ments and praises that were be stowed on Superintendent Allen. Each and every speaker told the men how fortunate they were to have a man of Mr. Allen’s ability and character for a leader. The following visitors were pres ent: Hon. DeVore Andrews, Mayor of Greenwood, S. C.; Mr. E. P. Wideman, Associate Editor of the Index-Journal, Greenwood, S. C.; Mr. J. A. Gresham, Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce, Greenwood, S. C.; Mr. E. L. Brooks, Supervisor of Greenwood County, Gr&enwood, S. C.; Mr. T. B. Greneker, Ex-State Senator, Edge- field, S. C.; Hon. M. H. Mims, House of Representatives, Edgefield, S. C.; Mr. W. W. Mims, Editor of the Edgefield Advertiser, Edgefield, S. C.; Mr. J. H. Allen, Master of Equity, | Ginning Cotton Wet Loses Farmer Money In order to get the greatest pos sible returns from their cotton crop this fall, County Agent R. D. Suber advises that farmers take their cotton to the gins in as dry condition as possible. “The ginning of damp or wet cot ton is a practice that should be avoided because it results in a los; to both fanner and ginner”, sayj the agent. “The farmer’s loss comes in the reduction of the quality of the lint and the ginner loses through increased wear and tear on machinery and equipment. Ginning extremely wet cotton fre quently forces the ginner to use kerosene in order to get the cotton through the gin stands, and this is a very objectionable practice. The farmer who insists that his cotton be ginned wet should know that this practice is needless and costly and that cotton so ginned is hard to sell even at greatly re duced prices. “Damp or wet cotton should be allowed to dry before picking or else it is advisable at least to sun dry morning dew-laden pickings. Differences in grade between cot ton ginned dry and cotton ginned wet range from 50 cents to over $2.00 per bale, depend ing on the staple length and on the moisture content of the seed cotton at the time of gin ning. These comparative bale value differences have been obtain ed as a result of ginning tests at the U. S. Cotton Ginning Labora tory, StoneviUe, Mississippi. “Where it is necessary to use kerosene to get extremely wet cot ton through the gin stands, the resulting lint sample is often class ed as gin-cut, and this means a loss to the farmer of $8.00 to $12.00 per bale, depending upon the mois ture content of the seed cotton. September Calls For Care With Livestock Clemson, Sept. 6.—That Septem ber is an important time in live stock management is shown by these reminders from extension specialists. Animal Husbandry. This is usually a good month to sell fat hogs. Arrange to seed some small grain (barley, rye, or oats) for hog graz ing. Give the brood sow especial at tention at farrowing time. The larger the litters the greater the profit. Place sows and litters on land uninfested with parasites. Start hogging down corn as soon as it is in the glazed stage. Cull out the unproductive sows. If plans are being made to feed steers get feed on hand before buy ing the cattle. Dairying Sow small grain for winter graz ing, at least one-fourth acre per cow. Use four bushels per acre of a mixture of oats, barley, and rye .vith 15 pounds of crimson clover. Feed some grain daily. Dry fall pastures lack nutrients. Dry up cows due to freshen in October to allow six weeks’ rest. Cull boarder cows that won’t make money for you this winter. Plan to plant one-half to one acre of oats and vetch for each cow, to be cut for hay next May. Plant barley on good upland soils. Barley will substitute in the grain, ration for com. Poultry Keep laying mash before hens. Hens may be kept in production later in the fall by the use of lights. Give the laying house a thorough cleaning before moving in the pullets.
