erage South Carolina school
teacher during the same period.
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.
During the 29 year' period tex
tile industries in the state have
paid out in wages to their em
ployees, exclusive of salaries to
office employees, over a billion
dollars.
The percentage trend of average
annual textile wages for the state,
over the 29 year period, was listed
as follows, with 1909 as 100 per
cent:

Former 4-H Members

SPENCER GLASGOW, Rep.
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.

For Better Pastures
Clemson, June 25.—South Caro
lina farmers are learning that
labor and money expended :n
mproving their permanent pas
tures will give profitable returns
according to C. 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-
