SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Ons Year $1.00 etc Months T .15 Three Months .50 Good Fanning llints For July Attention Clemson, July 2.—^Better farm ing suggestions for July by ex tension specialists show no let-up for the good farmer. Agronomy When field work slacks up, haul in grain straw, leaves, swamp grass, and other litter for the compost heap. Sow peas, soybeans, or velvet beans now and they will make growth to turn under for soil building. If you do not think the acreage of prospective yields of com and summer forage crops is sufficient for farm needs, plant additional acreage after thorough prepara tion of soil. Horticulture Remove all broken and diseased limbs from fruit trees immediate ly after harvesting. ✓- pull sweet com shortly before meal time; it loses its sugar rapidly. Place fruits and vegetables in the shade at once after harvest ing, to hold their quality. Make plantings of tomatoes for a fall crop. Insects and Diseases Spot cotton fieldsi where wilt losses are present. Control tomato insects and di seases with Bordeaux-lead arsen ate spray. Remove and bum com plants infected with smut. Examine banded apple trees every 10 days and destroy codling moth larvae. Control Mexican bean beetle with derris dust or spray. Destroy dodder in lespedeza. watch out for screw worms. . Requeen bees. Agricultural Engineering TT, ?vp trench silo ready when silage is ripe. v*aste crankcase oil prevents / rjjst when used on plows, discs, and other bright parts of farm machinery. Plan to install water system and other farm conveniences. Set sweeps on plows and culti vators for shallow cultivation. Investigate possibilities of small streams for irrigating gardens and truck. xx Home-Produced Meats Increase Farm Income Ciemson, June 20.—While the prioe of hogs may decline some what during the coming fall and winter there is little prospect 'tha f meat will become cheap, says J. R. Hawkins, extension livestock spe cialist. Hence the importance of his suggestion that it will still pay to produce the meat needed on the farm, especially since use can thus be made of many by-products and feeds which would otherwise have no value. Futher savings pointed out by Mr. Hawkins are the costs of handling the animals and proces sing and retailing of meat and the profits of several middlemen, all of which are eliminated when farmers raise their meat at home. Mr. Hawkins suggests that farmers who have not yet made arrangements to secure pigs for feeding out should do so as soon as possible. Also that those who have veal calves which can be used as meat this winter will find it desirable from the standpoint of quantity and quality of meat. A fat heavy calf makes acceptable beef even though it be of dairy breeding. Where pasture and some grain or cottonseed meal are available Mr. Hawkins states that it will pay to buy a yearling steer or heifer now to fatten and be slaughtered during the winter. An ample supply of canned and cured pork and beef not only greatly reduces the expenditure of money but gives a feeling of security. Some Of The Efforts And Achievements Of Butler B. Hare During His Term Of Office As A Mem ber Of Congress BUTLER B. HARE Saluda, June 16.— 1. Author of the anti-dumping or Produce Agency Act, which makes it unlawful for a Commis sion Merchant to make a false ;eport to the shipper as to the condition, sale or disposition of any perishable farm crop, the penalty being a fine of not less than $300 or more than $3000, or imprisonment for one year, or both within the discretion of the Court. 2.

He drafted and engineered through congress and passed over the President’s veto the bill pro viding for the independence of the Philippine Islands and the withdrawal of American sovereign ty therefrom at the end of eight years after its passage. It was here that Mr. Hare, as chairman of the Insular Affairs Committee of the House, had an opportunity to demonstrate his ability and in fluence in Congress. 18. Introduced bill and secured authorization for appropriation of $190,000 for erection of federal court house at Aiken, S. C. 19. He made one of the most determined and aggressive fights against the Smoot-Hawley tariff bill, the passage of which, accord ing to the belief of many was pri marily responsible for our present depression. 20.

He took a decided stand in an effort to have the Adjusted Service certificates of world war veterans paid before he retired from congress, and he endeavored to secure compensation for wid ows and children of deceased vet erans. 25. It should be noted that four of the bills referred to herein were before congress when Mr. Hare retired and were among the first to be recognized and enacted into law under the New Deal ad ministration. First was the bill providing for insuring bank de posits; second was one making provision for a moratorium on farm mortgages, which became the basis of the Frazier-Lemke Act; third was the bill providing for loans direct to farmers through the Intermediate Credit banks; and fourth was the bill providing for the erection of post office buildings in all towns ana villages with second and third class offices, which would have been the beginning of the Public Works Administration, and should he be returned to congress we predict that he will renew his efforts to have these buildings in cluded in the public works pro- iram.

Animal Husbandry Keep hogs grazing on green forage. Arrange to turn hogs on corn when it is in the glazed stage. Reserve some permanent pasture to be grazed by beef cattle in late fall and early winter. Feed the workstock three times a day. Change pastures for livestock if possible. Provide shade and fresh wai<ei for all classes of livestock. Observe the livestock for screw worm infestation and give treat-. ment, if necessary. Dairying Mow pastures frequently. Destroy breeding places for flies, and use skimmilk-formaldehyde poison (3 gallons of skimmilk, 1 pint of 40 per cent formalin, 1 pound of sugar) in shallow pans to kill flies. As milk production falls off, supplement pasture with balanced grain mixture. x Feed up to two pounds of grain daily to growing stock to maintain normal growth. Keep milk or cream sold for manufacturing purposes in barrel or tub of cold well or spring water. If retail milk producer with surplus at this season, dry off all low prdducing cows that are bred for fall freshening. Poultry Keep mash before laying hens, it helps to keep their bodies cool and stimulates egg production. Reduce feed cost by culling non layers and not by reducing feed. Keep a grain feed before the pullets and don’t start feeding a laying mash until the birds are at least five months old. If troubled with roup or chicken pox in past years, vacci nate pullets when two to torn months old. Dairy Herd Records Are High In May Ciemson, June 18.—The 6 Guernseys owned by H. H.
