To show the cash value of hogs on the farm Mr. Hawkins reminds that the pigs which are not need ed for meat may be sold at wean ing 'time, or If -feed Is available they may be fattened for market. And. whenever hog prices decline to fairly low levels, slaughtering hogs on the farm and curing the meat affords an attractive means of disposing of a limited number, since country home-cured meat of good quality can always be sold at profitable prices.

One of the outstanding changes in fertilizer practices is the in creased use of potash for all crops. With bright tobacco, for instance. De la Howe Takes Two Games From T?

Rust takes a considerable toll from the cotton crop every year, resulting in decreased yields and inferior staple. The scientists have shown that cotton rust is simply potash hunger. For cotton farmers are selecting fertilizers The De la Howe boys, fighting like mad, every minute of the way overcame an early lead packed up bv a fine Edgefield team and for toe remainder of the game kept the score tied and untied with first lone team out front and then the other. De la Howe managed to pull out front just before the final whistle to win the game 23-19.

Various clubs of this type have been organized on the campus recently, each club forming a nucleus through which the semi nary nrojects its work in the vari ous states. Of the 599 students enrolled in the Seminary this year, eleven are from South Carolina. Of this number four are young women nreparing themselves for religious education work either in the homeland or in foreign fields. Seven are ministers and laymen. There are students enrolled in Southwestern Seminary from seventeen states, Canada, Brazil. Argentina, China, Australia, and Russia.
