D. Suber, county agent, because of the small carry-over and the fact that the Agricultural Con servation Program has greatly in creased the demand for seed of legumes and green-manuring crops. Surveys made of the seed situa tion show that the 1936 drought and the demand for seed of soil- conserving crops in 1937 reduced the commercial reserves of seed of domestic clover, alfalfa, sweet- clover, lespedeza, soybeans, cow- peas, velvet beans, and of grass seed in general to much lower levels than normally prevail. In general, seed that has been grown locally for a period of years is like ly to be well adapted, and if prop erly harvested, stored, and cleaned, may be expected to give excellent results, according to Mr. Suber. Save all the seed possible of cow- peas, soybeans, velvet beans, and lespedeza, he advises.

Again somebody dropped a cig arette butt and the leaves caughi fire causing a small forest fire that- had to be extinguished by a crew ot CCC men.

H. Gooding, extension poul- tryman, who reminds growers that even the best procedure in housing, feeding, and disease and parasite control will have only limited ef fect unless high quality stock is used. Asserting that the egg production, of the average South Carolina, hen is low and that labor income from hens depends upon egg pro duction, Mr. Gooding advises that poultrymen must increase average egg production per hen if profits are to be maintained in the face of keen competition. Extension Circular 105, Breeding for Egg Production, by Mr. Good ing, has aided many poultry farm ers in this problem of higher egg production. A revised edition of the circular is now ready for free dis tribution to citizens. Copies may be had through the county farm agents and county home agents or from the publications division a& Clemson. -xx- Civil Service Exami nation AnnounceA The United States Civil Service Commission has announced aa open competitive examination ar follows: Principal animal husbandmaa. $5,600 a year.
