The number of pupils attending this session has more than doubled the en rollment of last session. The school has been in session for two months, having opened the 19th of September. Some pupils, who have been out of school for quite a while, have returned and are doing good work considering the fact that they w f ere not regular students last year. We are trying to build up our school and thus make it one of the best rural schools of the county and State. With the help of the pupils, parents, and friends of the school, I am sure that this can be done. We intend to beautify the class room, so that the pupils may be proud of their school and be glad to have their parents and friends visit them there. One of the im provements of the room is a nice long table on which our hot lunch is served every day. Our lunch is very excellently prepared and served by Mrs. J. B. Wiley, who is indeed a sincere and kind friend of the whole school. We wish to have an entertainment in our school some time during the ses sion, if arrangements can be made for this undertaking. Proceeds will be used to buy equipment for the school. The Lyon school pupils have been selling candy in order to buy some necessary play-ground equipment. The following pupils, having made an average of 90 or above on studies, attendance, and de portment are on the honor roll for the first six weeks: FIRST GRADE— Alistine Brock. FIFTH GRADE— Anna Claude DeLoach. SEVENTH GRADE— Lily Bell Lewis, Nona Bosdell, Evelyn Brock. EIGHTH GRADE— Claude Wiley. Mrs. G. Warren Johnson, Principal.

GREYHOUND Testing Breeding Flock For Pullomm May Avoid Chick Loss Next Spring McCormick County poultrymen can avoid possible serious chick losses next spring by having the birds selected for next year’s breeders tested this fall for pul- lorum disease, says County Farm Agent R. D. Suber. Pullcrum disease, or bacillary white diarrhea, kills more young chicks than any other one disease, according to poultry specialists of the U. S. Department of Agricul ture. This disease passes from the hen to the chick through the egg, - • • - i . i to cull out all infected breeding stock. Eliminating pullorum disease from farm and commercial flock? is one of the main points in the program of the National Poultry Improvement Plan adopted by many South Carolina poultrymen. Testing the flocks for the disease is a ,iob for a trained person, say.? Mr. Suber, and this service may be obtained from the Clemson Livestock Sanitary Department at Columbia. Other objectives under the Na tional Poultry Improvement Plan are the selection of standardbred flocks that have vigor and the ability to produce eggs profitably. The breeding methods outlined in the national plan are desirable for any poultryman, whether he is enrolled under the national plan r\I- TV/fv RnVinr TV~nnt.<5 mif.
