the autumn leaves were at their
height of beauty here. Trees all over
the City were flaming in red, orange,
yellow and many undescribable colors.
The trees on either side of College
and Calhoun streets made a beautiful
colorful archway. With the Sunday
and Monday rlains and winds, how
ever, most of the leaves were brought
to the ground. Many streets appear
ed to be beds of leaves and automo
biles Were literally covered.

Orchestra Performs
A really thrilled group pf kids
could bq seen at the high , school
Tuesday morning at the chapel per
iod. The occasion was the perfor-1
mance of the Newberry college “N’,’
orchestra. Jitterbugs (and many
,there are in the high school student
body) and non-jitterbugs alike were
having the time of their lives. Be
cause of the sickness of one of'the
orchestra players the performance
was postponed from’ last Friday un
til Tuesday . . . The college orchestra
will broadcast at 8:30 over WFBC,
Greenville, Thursday evening. Later
that night they play on the stage of
the Cbnter theatre . . . This year’s
orchestra • is by far the best ever
organized at the : college and the
group is doing big things in the way
of : publicity fbr the Lutheran insti
tution.
Be Thankful For
Another Thanksgiving season has
come. Those of us who have good
health :have much to be thankful for
this Thanksgiving Day, Sound
health, before , wealth, even! before
happiness, i is the greatest gift of the
gods. Without physical. / well-being
riches mean little, and joy and con
tentment can never be complete. This;
all leads up to say that the ’39;
Christmas Seal sale gets underway-
soon, December 1,'the Seal to fin-,
anoe a program of tuberculosis pre
vention and control. Your and my
buying the seals is an opportunity for
those of us. who are enjoying good
health to insure its continuance and
also an'opportunity to assist othei-s
to share in that good health. : The
sale in Newberry is being sponsored
as usual, by the American Legion
Auxiliary, and is headed by Mrs. F.

Mrs. Btyson served a delicious
three course turkey luncheop.
“My belief is thpit the! discovery
of a high grade Inhe deposit near
Holly Hill in time will be worth
almost as much as a gold mine to
South Carolina,” said J. Innis Mc-
Cants, President ofthe Atlantic
Lime Corporation, in a talk with
him recently. “The Corporation I
represent is a home company a,nd the
lime should be fundaentalty for home
consumption. Lime has , perhaps a
hundred or more uses, ibuti I have in
mind the crying need fop it on our
South Carolina farm 1 lands to Coun
teract the acidity of the soil. For
the farmer' of South Carolina to ha''e
lime with an exceedingly High cal
cium coontenti ' right at his door is
whaf I think a stroke of t good for
tune: Therd is no doubt how in the
minds of the scidhtific agricultural
experimenter that man and animal
^et the mineral elements' which
makd their body strength through
the food thep eat: That is to say, a
lack of lime in pastiire grasses makes
and leaved a deficiency bf lime in
livestock. ' This saihe fact is true
of other forms of livestock feeds. I
can not better express'the fundamen
tal need bf the animal for lime than
to quote from Spender’s Biology, Vol.
1, page 119: ‘The total absence of
lime from food may stop the forma
tion of a miammals skeleton; ■ thus
dwaifing if hit eventually destroying
the mammal, and this no matter what
quantities of other needful colloids
and ehrystalloids are furnished.’ V
“I think nq doubt from the above
authority that the lack of lime in
our southern soils, with but, little to
transmit to pasture grass and other
feeds, is the reason for so. many
small framed scrawny cattle we see
in our state. As our farmers become
livestock minded they will’ learn more
and more about the mineral value
of feeds . If milk, our mam .source of
animal calcium (lime) is good for the
calf,-it should be good for the family.
But the calcium, or lime, content, in
milt must come from the" Teed the
cow consumes , and the pasture
grasses must get lime ffom the soil,”

H-D COLUMN
By MISS ETHEL COUNTS
The thousands of tons, of leaves
now falling on South Carolina farm
lands—and in urban areas as well-
ought not to he burned or 1 otherwise
allowed to go to waste, extension
specialists' advise. Ordinary thrift'
and common sense appreciation of
values should prevent what might
well be classed as criminal waste.
Niit onlf leaves but other litter
and' crop residues contain organic
matter, nitrogen, phosphoric acid,
potash, and other plant food blements
which h'dve comb from the soil and
should be returned to 'it, the agron
omists prbint otit.
If no livestock is at hand so, that
leaves anci litter may be consumed' in
making natural compost, it ta.sugest-
ed that synthetic compost,'he made.
The rn,ethoa, a simple' one, is giVeh
as follows':
The process of making* synthetic
manure is. merely the treatment 6f
organic matter to hasttm decay. De
cay is due to bacteria in the presence
of moisture and Warmth. For rapid
action bacteria must have a balanced
food qf nitrogen, carbohydrates, phos
phorus, other,minerals, and the acids
of decay must be neutralized.
By supplying the nitrogen as sul
fate of ammonia, phosphorus as acid
phosphorus, and neutralizing the
acids with limestone, bacterial decay
can be‘ hastened to consume about
one-fourth to ohe-third of .the Usual
time. ' '
The proportion? of these materials
are approximately 45 pounds Of am
monium sulfate, 40 pounds of lime
stone, and 15 pounds of 16 pfer cent
acid phosphate. The only cadtibn is
not to use more than twice as much
limestone as sulfate of ammonia.
In, preparing sUch dbmpost pack
dowp a layer of litter about 'Ope foot
deep, sprinkle heavily with the fer
tilizer; mixture, using at least 50
pounds of the mixture per ton of dry
litter, and scatter a J few shovels of
mahure to inoculate 'witjr the decay
. bacterid. ’ If possible wet down with
water. Add other layers of material
similarly treated Uritil the' pile is
about' six' feet high. On top of the
pile place c/ne dr two inches of soil
to weight down the pile. Keep the
sides of the pile straight, with the
center 'of' the pile lower than the
edges'. The piled should not be built
any higher'than can be wet through
by a normal rainfall. Leaves and
other litter treated in this manner
should be sufficiently decayed to put
on fields and gardens in three : months.
