of the Extension Service Marketing
Division. Mr. Hall’s office is located
in that of C. W. Carraway, county

can be secured on all fruits and
vegetables, and any handler of
fruits and vegetables in South Car-
6ffria can avail himself of this ser^
vice”, says Mr. Prince. “This in
spection service is under the Bu
reau of Agricultural Economics,
United States Department of Agri
culture, Washington, D. C., and is
similar to service maintained in all
of the larger terminal markets.”
Mr. Prince explains that such
service is of value to all receivers,
as well as to the shippers, who are
sending fruits and vegetables into
South Carolina, as ‘ through this
inspection they can secure an im
partial report on the condition
or the product when it arrives at
destination.
Some 30 cars of seed potatoes
were inspected the first 10 days
ihe ofiice was in operation and
heavy supplies of seed potatoes are
expected to reach the port of Char
leston during the first two weeks

tatoes were handled during the
first four months of last yea:

no riddle why Natural Chilean Nitrate is so good for
our crops.
The natural balance of nitrogen and other vital elements
it thoroughly dependable — safe and sure. It is the
, Ji top-dresser for your grain—the natural nitrogen for
your mixed fertilizer — the natural side-dresscr for your
and corn.

manganese, copper, zinc, calcium, iodine and
jp on—are Mother Nature's own. And the big point is that
these elements are all blended together in natural balance. 4- *

Exports From
The United States
To Chile
Show Increase
Exports from the United States
to Chile during the first eight
months of last year increased 44
per cent as compared with the
similar period in 1936, according
to a report made public today by
the Chilean Consul General in
New York.
The value of America^ Tn <a r''^a~-
dise and raw materials sold to
Chile from January to August, 1937,
amounted to $15,116,517 as com
pared with $16,551,881 last year.
These exports consisted chiefly of
cotton goods, woolen goods, fuel
oil, rolled iron or steel, and ma
chinery. Almost every branch of
American industry was in some
way, either directly or indirectly,
affected by these Chilean pur
chases.
Approximately 25 per cent of
Chile’s annual foreign purchases
during the last ten years have been
from the United States, amount
ing to more than $241,000,000 for
that period. Through the use of
these American products, especial
ly machinery and raw materials,
Chile has been able substantially
to modernize her industries, im
prove her standard of living and
consequently increase her purchas
ing power.

Hugh Wilson of Abbeville present
ed by William M. Barnwell of that

Mr. Wilson was one of the most
picturesque personalities in his day
in South Carolina journalism. No

If there is anything in the theory
of the heredity of accomplishments,
then Miss Margaret Lowe of Ameri-
cus, Kansas, must have gotten her
knack at wood carving from her
father and grandfather, both of
whom were cabinetmakers. During
the depression Miss Lowe, who
had been teaching school, found
herself without a job and started
in carving silhouttes in walnut. She
employs ten workers in her shop
and sells her carvings all over the
country. Some of them have been
used in Hollywood studios.
WILDLIFE CONFERENCE
Again let us call your attention
to the third annual North Ameri
can wildlife conference to be held
this month in Baltimore. The ses
sion will last four days, beginning
Monday, February 14, and going
through Thursday, the 17th; with
the Lord Baltimore Hotel as of
ficial headquarters.
The North American Wildlife
Conference is the only nation-wide
conclave bringing together members
of ,all groups interested in the
I preservation and restoration of a
great natural resource. The first
Conference was called by President
Roosevelt, at the request of The
American Wildlife Institute, in
Washington in 1936. It succeeds
the American Game Conference,
sponsored by The American Game
Association for twenty-one years.
This year’s annual clearing house
for mutually beneficial ideas and
| open forum for the airing of prob-
|lems has been assigned to Balti
more. Because of the awakening
af public sentiment in favor of re
storing and conserving our wildlife
resources and because of the con
crete results achieved at previous
Conferences the 1938 assemblage
of authorities and outdoorsmen is
expected to exceed all previous rec
ords in attendance and accom-
I
plishments.
General Sessions. At the Gen
eral Sessions, vital wildlife prob
lems will be subjected to panel dis
cussions. The panels will be com
prised of four authorities. Each au
thority will be allotted ten min
utes to present his version of the
subject under discussion. An op
portunity will be given for re
buttal. The remainder of the hour
assigned to each subject to be
treated at the general sessions will
be devoted to open discussion from
the floor.
Technical Sessions. At the Tech
nical Sessions approximately sixty
papers will be presented by as
many different authorities on va
rious problems of American wild
life. Research studies will be con
sidered by scientists and wildlife
technicians and practical methods
of applying wildlife management
will be discussed. All sessions, both
general and technical will he open
to the public.
j The Annual Banquet. The an
nual banquet will be held in the
Calvert Ballroom of the Lord Bal
timore Hotel at seven o'clock on
Wednesday, February 16. Especial-
1 ly fine moving pictures of wildlife
will be shown. Dinner reservations
should be made at once. Tables will
be assigned in the order in which
reservations are received. Upon re
quest, tables will be reserved for
clubs or other groups. Banquet
checks for $3.00 per person, should
; be made payable to The American
'Wildlife Institute and mailed to
the Institute’s headquarters, 822

Outdoor Show. The Conference
will be held concurrently with the
North American Sports, Garden
and Outdoor Life Show, which will
occupy the Fifth Regiment Armory
in Baltimore February 11 to 19, in
clusive. All exhibits will be set
against naturalistic backgrounds.
Exhibits from the North Woods
and an Antarctic exhibit with
igloos and dog teams will contrast
strikingly with southern exhibits,
which include one from Mexico.
j National figures prominent in
wildlife conservation fvill be on the
program as will the department
heads of the federal government
dealing with natural resources.
| Canada and Mexico will send dele
gations.
! Among the South Carolina dele-
1 gation will be A. A. Richardson,
chief game warden; T. Kirkland

Jacocks, secretary of the game and
^ fish association; Miss Claudia L.
Phelps of Aiken, this state’s repre
sentative of the General Wildlife
federation Board; and Walker

tion, will please communicate with

that the South Carolina delegation
may be organized.

Success with house plants need
not be limited to those lucky per
sons who seem to have “green fing
ers.” If you have a basic under
standing qf the essentials the main
difficulties will be overcome. First
?omes your choice of plant. Re
member that the majority of flow
ering plants have only one bloom
ing period in each yean The plant
you buy at the florist’s shop was
taken months ago by the gardener,
cared for and stimulated until it
is in full bud, ready to bloom un
der the right care. Ask the florist
about watering temperature and
light. If the plant is to be repotted
the important point to keep in
mind is adequate drainings. The
material in the pot itself does not
make as much difference as this
matter of handling. The clay poi
with bottom drainage hole should
be set on a surface that permits
a certain amount of air to circu
late under the pot. A saucer filled
with small pebbles or coarse ashes
can be placed under the pot. This
prevents the plant from standing
in stagnant water. If the pot is
placed in jardiniere this should be
large enough to allow some circu
lation of air around the pot. Stand
ing water should be removed daily.
A plant potted in a non-porous
container without a bottom open-
iiig should have a good inch of
ainage material at the bottom.
I arge pebbles, broken bits of pot
tery or good sized marbles are good
for this purpose.

Sometimes grease spots * appear
on the back and arms of up
holstered chairs in spite of anti
macassars and what-not precau
tions. So, if hard wear over the
holidays have soiled these places
that come in contact with head and
hands use a medium stiff hard
brush dipped in cleaning fluid.
Carbon tetrachloride is recom
mended because it is not inflam
mable. However, there are innum-
! erable cleaning mixtures on the
market that are not inflammable
and remove dirt and grease effec-
1 tively. Begin in the center of the
spot. and work out, using a cir
cular motion. This prevents all
dangers of a ring forming around
the cleaned place.
* * *
Stopping the Drip
For instance, with all the run
ning of hot water during the
double-day week-ends and cook
ing, perhaps a faucet is beginning
to develop an annoying drip. II
you’re pressed for time or are look
ing forward to a more complete
| plumbing overhaul in the spring,
! have the man about the house
take out the rubber stopper and
merely reverse it. It will last for
several months. If the faucet hap
pens to need a fuller ball, remove
it from the threaded shank, wrap
a few turns of string around the
shank and replace. The fuller ball
will then seat tightly.
