After this Miss Bell played on the piano a number of the songs that we have learned and the members wrote the names of them. This was en joyed very much by all and every one received a prize, a sample package of Bon Ami. The social hour was spent in chatting about going to Charles ton, and the serving of delicious pound cake and iced tea, by Misses Louise and Myrtle Mc Daniel and Martha Bailey. Reporter. xx Feeding Program For Summer Egg s Production Clemson, July 2.—Summer eggs usually sell on a rising market following the low point in spring, says P. H. Gooding of the Clemson College Extension Service, who suggests that flock owners check on their feeding program to insure as many eggs as possible during the summer. The usual rise in egg prices is already taking place this summer. Mr. Gooding calls attention to a four-point program for summer feeding offered by H. W. Titus, poultry specialist of the U. S. De partment of Agriculture. County agents and the extension poultry- men will help to plan economical summer rations based on the feeds available. The recommendations from Titus are general suggestions on methods: One: If the hens have been laying well, do not risk changing the diet now. Do not turn them loose to pick up their living with out the supplementary feed that will keep them laying well. If they have not been laying well, improve the ration. Two: If they are laying well, continue the same plan of feeding and management; if not, improve the system. If the hens have been getting feed at certain hours, con tinue feeding at these same hours. Three: If the hens are on an all-mash diet, give them a little more than they will clean up. Then clean up the hoppers and feed the surplus to non-layers be fore it gets stale or spoils. Four: Keep up the total protein in the diet. Laying hens need a diet with 16 to 17 per cent protein in summer. Cotton Acreage As Of July 1, 1938 South Carolina cotton acreage in cultivation on July 1 is esti mated at 1,313,000 acres, according to report issued by Frank O. Black, Agricultural Statistician, Colum bia, July 9. This acreage is a re duction of 23 per cent from the 1,705,000 acres in cultivation last July, is close to the State’s small est acreage of 1,299,000 planted in 1934, and compares with an aver age of 1,435,00 acres for the 5 years 1933-1937. Reports indicate a range of re duction from 20 per cent up-state to 27 per cent down-state, or the reverse of tne 193 7 acreage shut when the increase was progres sively greater from north to south. Above a line drawn roughly from the counties of Abbeville to Kershaw the decrease is about 20 per cent, about 23 per cent thru che middle section and some 27 per cent in the more southerly ©unties. The first forecast of production will be announced on August 8. The acreage of cotton in culti vation in the United States on July 1 is estimated by the Crop Reporting Board to be 26,904,000 acres which is 22 per cent less than the 34,471,00 acres on July 1, 1937, 28 per cent less than the 1927-36 average and 16.8 per cent less than the 1933-37 average. Apply ing the 10-year average (1928-37) abandonment to this year’s planted acreage would indicate the smallest acreage for harvest since 1900. The next lowest acre age was in 1934 when 27,860,000 acres were planted. Among the causes for the sharp reduction in 1938 are the Agricultural Adjust ment program, relatively low cot ton prices received for last year’s crop, and difficulties in securing stands because of unfavorable weather. Decreases are shown in all States with the greatest reductions occuring west of the Mississippi River. In this group California shows the heaviest decrease with acreage estimated at 57 per cent of 1937, Missouri follows with 70 per cent, Arizona and New Mexico 71 per cent, Oklahoma 77 per cent, Texas 78 per cent, and Louisiana and Arkansas 79 and 80 per cent respectively. East of the Mississippi River where the decreases are not so marked, the 1938 acreage in Ten nessee and North Carolina is es timated at 82 per cent of the acreage in 1937, followed by Ala- jama with 81 per cent, Georgia with 79 per cent, Mississippi 78 per cent, South Carolina 77 per cent, and Florida and Virginia with 75 and 65 per cent respec tively. Sea Island and American-Egyp- tian cotton, which are not affect ed by the Agricultural Adjustment program, show large increases in 1938 over 1937. The acreage of Sea Island cotton is estimated at 27,- 000 acres in 1938 compared with 19,900 hi 1937, and American- Egyptian at 41,000 acres in 1938 compared with 21,000 acres last year. No report on probable produc tion of lint will be made until August 8. ftf SURE TO GET AN AMERICA’S STANDARD TIMEI Mrs. T. J. Haynes of Spindale, N.
