The difference :n the mount of dairy products produced cr capita io even greater.” xx During Decexiber over SCO young men from North and South Caro lina were enlisted in the Regular Army. This exceeds the record of 356 enlistments from the Carolinas made in November, and is the re sult of the present recruiting cam paign to get the army up to the new authorized strength. Influenced by the desire co '.ravel; the opportunity for partici pation in outdoor sports and rec reation the year round afforded by the tropical climate; and the chances for practical education as well as rapid promotion, the ma jority of them chose foreign ser vice duty and will sail for Hawaii or Panama about January 6th. whlch st ‘>' be '°" g " T men ' ^ wa f Those desiring to remain in the ^pressed by this fact, I might call it almost a monopoly, when the APDfRN WPMfhl LmUcne White Prssideat of The Na« tioual Federation of Busi ness and Professional Woencks’s dubs, I*»r- Certified accountancy is a field y”, Mr. Gooding explains. “Pullets or hens subject to lights will lay a considerably greater lumber of winter eggs them those without lights. No ill effect upo fertility or hatchability of eggs will result from the use of lights and they are especially valuable for bringing slow-maturing, late- hatched, or inferior pullets into production. It is not necessary to use bright lights, experience shows. Two 10- watt bulbs to each 20-foot section of house will give sufficient light. Kerosene lanterns will give suf ficient light to increase egg pro duction, and in using lanterns the best practice v is to light them about 9:00 p. m. and let them burn the remainder of the night. One lan tern to each 20-foot section of a laying house will give ample light JXX Main Crop Economics Summarized By Clark Clemson, Jan. 1.—Certain ele ments in the situation regarding the two chief money crops of the Southeastern states, cotton and flue-cured tobaaco, make it ad visable for farmers to spend more than ordinary time and thought in planning their farming opera tions for 1938, thinks O.

Perhaps I shouldn’t call them “new” because they are revivals of the patterns of our grandmother’s days.

C. xx- Outlook For Dairying Advises Family Cows Clemscn, Dec. 27. — All things considered, the outlook with respect to the dairy industry during • the next four or five years is more fav arable than it has been during the previous four or five years, C. G. ushman extension dairy special ist, states. Prices on dairy products probab ly will average as high during the next several months as during the corresponding months of the pre vious year, and feed prices will be substantially lower, he believes. “Encouraging the increase of dairy cows in South Carolina to the point where every farm home of the state is adequately supplied with milk and butter can be justi fied irrespective of the outlook for commercial dairying”, Cushman declares. “There has been a substantial increase in dairy cattle numbers in the cotton belt states within recent years. In South Carolina the num ber of dairy cattle increased 16 per cent from 1930 to 1937, whereas in the country as a whole the in crease was about 9 per cent dur ing this period. The number of cows milked on South Carolina farms as reported by the census increased 29 per cent between 1929 are lighted from October 1 to and 1934, and the number of farms I arch 1 will return about $25.00 on which one or more cows were more per 100 hens during those five milked increased 29 per cent during months than when they are not for 1938”, Mr. Clark advises. ■ , XX Auditor’s Notice FOR THE YEAR 1938 Vacancies In Marine Corps Twenty vacancies for service in the United States Marine Corps will be filled from this district dur ing January, it is announced by Captain A.
