C., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1937 Number 25 Citadel Expects Many Visitors PARENTS AND FRIENDS WILL MEET AT MILITARY COLLEGE NOV. 20TH 'Charleston, Nov. 4.—From many States, parents and friends of Citadel cadets will visit South Car olina’s military college in Charles ton November 20th, to see the young men in whom they are most interested and to observe the many activities at the college. Rooms in barracks win be opened to visitors, and the cadet messhall will be the scene of a luncheon at which Gen eral Charles P. SummeraU, presi dent of the coUege, win welcome the visitors. AU of the twelve academic de partments wiU have their offices, classrooms, and laboratories open for inspection. Outstanding in in terest is the department of Civil Engineering, recently recognized by the Engineers’ Council for Pro fessional Development as one of the 107 schools for engineering in the entire United States as accre dited because of superior equip ment, faculty attainments, and quality and thoroughness of courses. Of much interest will be the ex hibits and demonstrations put on by the department of military science and tactics, which is co equal with academic departments and which conducts all classes in military science and all drills and ceremonies. In addition, it is charg ed with the administration of the two ROTC units, Infantry and Coast Artillery. Three of the seven Army officers on duty with the depart ment are Citadel graduates, the other four having finished at West Point. Although the Parents’ Day pro gram was briefly announced only a week ago, letters have come in from parents and other interested per sons as far away as upper New York and California, saying they are coming to Charleston for the occasion.

D. Suber. “Keep Youthful With Milk” . . . “Drink An Extra Glass Daily” . . . . “Slenderize With Milk” . . . “Milk For Health” . . . “Cook With Milk” . . . are slogans that will be im pressed on consumers in the drive which will be directed by the Milk Industry Foundation. While nutritional authorities place milk at the top of the list of foods in respect to balanced food values, milk consumption has not increased as rapidly as that of many foods for which concerted and aggressive promotional pro grams were developed. Today, milk consumption aver ages about eight-tenths of a pint per day per person. If the milk in dustry can raise the average to a pint a day, agricultural purchasing power would be materially increas ed and public health improved, the Foundation’s statement says. conference last night. rett, presiding elder; Butler, L.

Reporter. , TTX What Is Best Policy For National Program In Cotton Production Clemson, Nov. 6.—“The national farm policy as it relates to cot ton would not be the same if we aim to reduce the size of the Amer ican crop to domestic requirements as it would be if we aim to hold or recover foreign markets”, says D. W. Watkins, director of the Ex tension Service of Clemson College.

Johnston’s proc lamation proclaiming November 14-20 as Conservation Week and Friday, November 19, as Arbor Day. Probably no other organization in the state has a gfeater oppor tunity than 4-H clubs not only to practice conservation methods but to try to educate others to the value of conserving our natural re sources”, Mr. Lewis continues. “The second state 4-H conserva tion camp held at Camp Long in September was a great success and this was due mainly to the inter est manifested by the 83 county delegates who came together with one accord to receive training j producers of domestic commodities along this line. Training, however, ag unduly favoring producers of means very little unless what one cotton and tobacco, is taught is put into practice. “if some combination of these “In his proclamation the chief ideas could be enacted that would executive says mat me planting should distinctly provide for the peculiar problems affecting the cotton crop. “If the policy of isolation obtains, then this state and most other * cotton states are in no position to compete for the domestic market in corn, wheat, livestock products, etc., and the prevailing type of farming left to cotton growers after they produce the domestic require ments of cotton would be mere sub sistence farming”, Director Watkins continues. “It is not likely that the federal government is prepared to recompense cotton growers for go ing to a domestic basis of produc tion and it is by no means assured that even if cotton production were shifted to a domestic basis the country would put a tariff on cot ton sufficient to offset the great sacrifice involved in such a shift. Director Watkins thinks that to have a program of benefits on a domestic allotment basis only would unduly favor those producers of crops used entirely or almost entirely in this country as against the producers of cotton and tobac co, while to have an export bounty plan would probably be regarded by and care of trees and the protec tion of game and song birds, water resources, and wild flowers are not only economic measures but they contribute to the beauty of our state and the enjoyment of our homes. “Conservation Week offers an added incentive to continue prac ticing the principles learned at the conservation camp.” xx 3148 Bales Of Cotton Ginned In McCormick County To Oct. 18th bring all great staple commodities to parity or close to parity with a sensible control feature, and soil- conserving and live-at-home pro visions, this would be about as near ideal as possible”, he concludes. xx Weekly Cotton Grade • And Staple Report For South Carolina ; For Week Ending November 4, 1937 Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 6.—For the seventh consecutive week the pro- portion of Strict Middling an<T higher grades has shown a de crease over the preceding week.
