These were the results of a study made by the Cotton Manu facturers’ Association of South Carolina in which figures of the state Department of Labor and Department of Agriculture, Com merce and Industries were used. The Association found that in spite of curtailment necessary during slack market periods, the annual earnings of cotton mill employees had increased steadily. The advances were attributed to substantial rises in hourly earn ings and improved methods. Although the figures did not give annual earnings of the school teachers for past years, they did show that in 1937 the average mill Wilkes, and Jenkins in Georgia; worker made 13.6 per cent more i an< * Aiken, Hampton, Allendale than the average school teacher. an d Saluda in South Carolina.

Clemson, June 25.—That former club members continue to uphold the 4-H motto of “making the best better” is evident in their good records at Clemson College, says Dan Lewis, state boys’ club agent, pointing to some high college honors won by former clubsters. J. Carroll Shelley, former 4-H club member of Marlon county, who graduated in animal hus bandry at the recent Clemson commencement, was awarded the Anderson scholarship of $400 for his high scholastic record. J. C plans to use this scholarship to continue his study at Ames, Iowa where he has another scholarship valued at $250. When J. C.’s brother, D. A. Shelley, now assistant county a- gent of Aiken, graduated frorr Clemson two years ago, he too was awarded the Anderson scholar ship but declined its use feeling that he should go to work as he had other brothers in college Last year J. Willard Jones, an other former 4-H club boy, wor this scholarship and is this yeai getting his M. S. degree in agion- omy and soils at Cornell. James J. Lever of Lexington county, still another 4-H club boy and a rising sophomore at Clem son, was awarded the literan medal at the recent graduation exercises. Through the Clemson College 4-H club, now numbering 87 mem bers, the former 4-H boys not only stay in touch with 4-H interest and problems in the state but by study of Extension Service and Experiment Station work they al so keep abreast of present day agricultural and related problems. Officers of this club recently elected for 1938-39 are: F. M. Counties yet to complete the program are: Lincoln, Jeffer son, Taliaferro, Burke, Emanuel, Elbert, Glascock, Greene and Mc Duffie in Georgia, and Barnwell, Bamberg, Greenwood, Abbeville, McCormick, and Edgefield in South Carolina. To promote interest in hog- raising^ the association secured five sponsors to provide $2,500 to place 10 gilts and one boar, at a cost of $100, in each of the 25 counties. The sponsors are: Smith’s Stock Yard, Sears Roe buck & Company, Citizens & Southern National Bank, The Augusta Herald, and The Augusta Chronicle. The county livestock associa tions, with the cooperation of the county agents and the vocational agriculture teachers, are to select 10 worthy boys or girls in their respective counties to receive the gilts, while the boar is to be kept at some convenient place for the service of the county hog program. Recipients of the gilts agree to return one pig out of the first litter to the county association which in turn will place them with other worthy boys or v girls, thereby providing a very valuable, progressive and permanent hog program. ix* Safety Sabbath To Be Observed On July 3rd Charlotte, N.

G. Cushman, ex tension dairy specialist. It is as essential for pastures x Ae fertilized as for crops, Cush man points out. Pasture pi ante respond well to lime and super phosphate and the clovers supply needed nitrogen. A minimum of one ton of agri cultural lime and 600 pounds oi super-phosphate per acre, as us ed in improving pastures on farms in the Soil Conservation Service areas, is recommended. Some farmers also apply stable manure and some use side applications of fertilizer. Proper fertilizing antf mowing help to control obnoxious weeds. Terraces and contour furrows help to retain water on the land to provide moisture for pasture grasses. Cooperating farmers have found one out of every 130 persons in! that extreme care must be exer^ the nation. “ISvery 11 1-2 days of the aver- cised not to graze pastures before they become well established or age July as many Americans are ( while the land is wet.
