TUNG NUTS TO BE PRODUCED
IN LOUISIANA
New Orleans, July C.—The tung oil
industry, new to this state but old as
the hills of ancient China where the
trees first were grown, is bringing
added revenue to Louisiana.
Taking its place beside the orange,
pecan and pine groves in the south
ern part of the state, the industry
fast is deveolping from an experimen
tal stage to a full-fledged money
making crop.
Until recently, the United States
had depended on imports from China
for its tung oil. The oil is used in the
making of paints, varnishes, lacquers
and enamels and its fatty acids are
used in the production of shellac sub
stitutes. Combined with aluminum
oxide, it is converted into aluminum
tungate, used in fiieprooting and wat
er proffing numerous materials.
The Great Southern Lumber Com
pany brought the first tung seeds to
Louisiana in 1930. The company
planted sixty acres at Isabel—the
first planting on a commercial scale
in this state, although groves had
been planted in Florida. Two other
lumber companies followed the lead
of the Great Southern and in short
order a crushing mill was built at,
Covington.
Other companies joined in the new
industry and the department of agri
culture’s experimental station in Bo-
guhisa began experimenting with the
trees. Today, more than 20,000 acres
of tung trees are under cultivation
and two modem tung nut crushing
mills have been constructed'—one at
Bogalusa and one at Covington.
The tung trees, however, need con
siderable more care than the average
grove. They must not be planted in
soil in which the water table in within
twelve to fifteen inches below the
surface, the soil must not be alkaline,
and the land must have been thor
oughly cleared.
BARBECUE AT TANGLEWOOD
Those enjoying the Fourth of July
barbecue at Tanglewood, the Ralph
Baker home on Lake Murray, were,
besides Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Baker and
family, Mr. Kenneth Baker, Sr., and
family of Greenwood; Mr. and Mrs.
Kenneth Baker, Jr., and family of j
Clinton; Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Baker
and family of Greenwood; Mr. and
Mrs. Dick Baker and Betty; Dr. and
Mrs. H. K. Boyd and King; Mrs. Azi-
lee Parr Patrick and Louis; Mr. and
Mrs. Callie Boyd Parr and family;
and Mrs. H. L. Parr. Thirty four
were present for the day.Besides the
barbecue, boat riding, tennis, swim
ming and other sports were enjoyed.
WITH ITS PANZERS DOWN
The Nation.
“When the German Forces crossed
the Bug River,’’ reads a dispatch from
Berlin to the New York Times, “the
Russians appear to have allowed them
to advance without giving any indi
cation of their presence. Then they
opened a ‘devastating’ fire from all
sides upon the German advance units.
Such methods of waifare are scath
ingly criticized in the Volgischer
Beobaohter, which declares that
shooting from the rear is a typical
bolshevist action.” Even the Russians
should know that under the protocol
of the New Order it is not cricket to
take advantage of a blitzkrieg with
its panzers down.

tients were admitted to the hospital
with 69 operations.
'Hie new nurses home has been
started but very little has been done
due to heavy rains.
JAPAN EYES RUSSIA
The Nation.
The appeasers argue that we should
do nothing to provoke Japan at this
moment lest it enter the war on the
side of the Axis. Actually, there is
but one thing that will bring Japan
into the war in the near future—the
collapse of the Soviet defenses. Jap
an can probably be kept out altogeth
er if an understanding can be worked
out between the United States and
the Soviets regarding «aval and air
bases along the Siberian coast. Trfe
United States blocked Japanese ex
pansion in this area after the last
war. It should do so again today.

LET FDR SPEAK!
New York Herald Tribune.
These confusions and contradictions
in high quarters of the government
must be ended if they are not to
spread malignantly through the
whole organism of national defense.
The President can put an end to .the
sabotage which runs far deeper than
the blowing up of munitions plants.”
The American people know the
danger before them. What are they
going to do about it? Let the Presi
dent say.
MISS PERKINS A DRAG
Asheville Citizen.
The sad pant of it is that Miss
Perkins’ stubborn intention of her
post is not strengthening the Roose
velt administration with public opin
ion. Mr. Roosevelt needs the unified
support of the people. There are
divisive forces at work and they are
making some headway. The admin
istration can ill afford to maintain ap
official who is rather universally re
garded as a mislt. People can
hardlj*be expected to accept the lead
ership of a cabinet official for whose
qualification they have only derision.
WHEN CICADAS SING
Science Service.
About mid-July one begins to hear
them, their rasping, shrilling song
sawing away interminably through
the hot hdurs. “Locusts singing”.
Only six weeks till frost now,” say
the wiseacres. Maybe, and again may
be not. The insects are not locusts,
for locusts are grasshoppers; and
these are harvest-flies, or (more ac
curately) dog-day cicadas. And it’s
sometimes six weeks, sometimes 12,
between the first cicada song ard the
first frost.
A GREAT OLD SUNSET
What a stormful sunset was that
of last night! How glorious the
storm and how splendid the setting
of the sun! We do not remember ever
to have seen the like on our round
globe. The scene opened in the West,
interpenetrating lustre, which colored
the foliage and 1 brightened every ob
ject into its own rich dyes. The colors
grew deeper and richer untH the gol
den lustre was transfused into a
storm cloud full of the finest light
ning, which leaped in dazzling zigzags
all around over the city.
The wind arose with fury, the
slender shruhs and giant trees made
obeisance to its majesty. Some even
snapped before its force. The straw
berry beds and grass plots turned up
their whites to see Zephyrus march
by. As the rain came and the pools
formed and the gutters hurried away,
thunder rolled grandly and the fire
bells caught the excitement and rang
With hearty chorus.
The South and the East received
the copious showers, and the West all
at once brightened up in a long -pol
ished belt ar azure, worthy of a Sici
lian sky. Presently a cloud appear
ed in the azure belt in the form of a
castellated city. It became vivid, re
vealing strange forms of peerless
fanes and alabaster temples and
glories rare and grand in this mun
dane sphere. It reminded us of
Wordsworth’s splendid verse in his
“Excursion”;
The appearance instantly disclosed
Was of a mighty city; bodly lay
A wilderness of buildings, sinking far
And self-withdrawn into a wondrous
depth.
Far sinking into a splendor without
end.
But the city vanished, only to give
place to another isle, where the most
beautiful forms of folhige appeared
imagining a paradise inr the distant
and purified air. The sun, wearied of
the elemental commotion, sank behind
the green plains of the West. The
“great eye in heaven”, however, went
not down without a dark brow hang
ing over its departing light. The rich
flush of the unearthly light had pass
ed, and the rain had ceased when the
solemn church bells pealed, the laugh*
ter of children rang out and, joyous
after the storm, was heard with the
carol of birds; while the forked and
purple weapon of the skies still
darted illumination around the Star
ling college, trying to rival its angle
and leap into its dark windows.
Gandies were lighted- The piano
strikes up. We feel it good to have a
home, good to he on earth ’where such
revelations of beauty and power may
be made. And as we cannot refrain
from reminding our readers: of every
thing wonderful in our city, we have
begun and ended our feeble etching
of a sunset which comes so rarely
that its glory should be committed to
immortal type.—Author^ Unknown.

EXTENSION AGENTS TO HELP IN
ALUMINUM SHOWER
Clemson, July 5.—Agricultural and
home demonstration workers were
called upon today by D. W. Watkins,
director of the South Carolina Exten
sion Service to assist in every way
possible in the aluminum-gathering
campaign announced by the office of
Civilian Defense on June 24. This
campaign is part of a nation-wide
drive to collect old and unneeded
aluminum to, supplement the vast
supplies needed for the production of
defense equipment.
Farmers and farmers’ wives will be
called upon to contribute old alminum
utensils and unused aluninum parts of
all sorts. Items desired include pots
and pans, radio parts, toys, shakers,
screening .old washing-machine parts
picture frames, book ends, ice trays,
measuring cups, camera equipment,
kettles and double boilers, bottle and
jar caps, refrigerator plates, and el
ectric appliances of all sorts. Any
thing that’s made of alminum will do.
Families are asked to begin now to
iook around fo rtems which they
will be able to spare. Gathering
will commence during the week of
July 21. Local committees composed
of 4-H club members, home demon
stration club members, and other
groups will call on all farm homes
to collect the aluminum scrap.
Aluminum was one of the first
items to be placed on the priority list
by the Office of Production Manage
ment. The drive for aluminum scrap
does not mean that there is an acute
shortage of this metal. Aluminum,
however, requires a long time to
make, and the quantity required for
defense production is tremendous. Ten
-thousand pounds of aluninum go into
a fighter plane. It is estimated that
the present scrap collection will re
sult in obtaining 20 million pounds of
aluminum. This will go to smeltering
plants where it will be made into sec
ondary aluminum that will release 20
million pounds of first-class aluminum
from other vital uses to the airplane
•industry. Indirectly, therefore, the
20 million pounds of scrap to he col
lected will result in providing the
necessary aluminum for 2,000 fighter
planes.
