For Cotton Growers to Get National
Legislation for Relief.

Aiken. October 27.-Congressman
Byrnes upon his return to Aiken on
Saturday stated that the cotton
growers need expect no legislation
from the national government for
their immediate relief. He said that
three bills pending, two extending
the amount of emergency currency
that can be issued to the banks, and
the warehouse measure would be of
practically no assistance.
Among other things he said:
The emergency currency has fail
ed to afford adequate relief for many
reasons, and particularly so in our
section because We have so few pa
tional banks. The warehouse meas
ure will only give additional value
to warehouse receipt and should
make it more acceptable to the
banks. but as long as they have no
money to loan it will not help the
cotton farmer. Even if it should
pass, and it doubtless will in Decem-
Der, it will be a long time before the
warehouse comes under the super
vision of the government"
Mr.. Byrnes said he supported every
cotton. amendment and voted against
adjournment. as did every member
from South Carolina.

Broad Cultivated Terraces Best.

The terrace find to be one Of the
greatest helps in staying the hand OF
the great soil destroyer--erosion.
There are certain hillsides and plains
that can be saved by the use OF tim
Der and grasses, but our lands on
which grow corn, wheat, tobacco. cot
ton and other field crops cannot be
given the protection of the tree and
sod. The demand, therefore, is for
protection of the soil while it is be-
ing titled. The terrace answers the
demand. By its use we can cultivate
the fields, prevent the wearing away
Of the soils, and build them up in fer
tility. Some farmers object to the
terraces on the ground that they
waste too much land. Perhaps they
do not consider it wasted to have
each year the best Of their surface
soil removed and deposited at the
mouth of some river, hundreds OF
miles away. Any comparison on TINS
basis is decidedly in favor Of the ter
race.
There are two distinct types of ter
races-the Mangum and the guide
row. The Mangum terrace is broad
bank of earth with gently sloplng
sides contouring a field at an approx
innate grade of six to eight inches TO
the hundred feet. This type of ter"
race is we'll adapted to most agricul-
tural soils where the land is moder-
ately rolling. The effect of such "a
terrace is to give a gradually sloping
side, both above and below its high
est point, so that cultivation may be
carried on right across the ridge, IN
any direction. I have built some OF
both kind of terraces and find the
Mangum provides the same protect
ion as the old style, and also ellmln-
ates the waste of land and the breed
ing places for insects afforded by the
weeds and grass growing on the
ridges. For soils of clayey and loamy
nature it furnishes the ideal terrace.
The Mangum as we'll as the other
style terrace find should be at least
20 inches high. With height less
than this l have frequent breaks by
overflows when we have sudden
downpours. l find my best results
come from terraces Is to "a feet
wide. Extra width permits the use
of machinery and accomplishes the
saving of considerable labor, as we'll
as giving a stronger, more perma-
nent terrace.

Theft of Cotton.

Tuesday night two bales of cotton
were stolen from Mr.. John Turner,
at Denmark. The cotton was on the
premises of one of the tenants. Sher-
if Hunter stated yesterday morning
that the thief or thieves had not
been arrested, but that arrests were
expected to be, made shortly. 1t
seems to be taken as matter for
Joking that anyone should at this
time indulge in stealing cotton.

feet in altitude between, and with a

first back furrow into all the gull
lies before starting to build the ter
races. In erecting the terraces l use
either a V-shaped wooden drag, such
as is used in ditch work, or a small,
steel grading machine, such as is used
in road construction. During the
past year 1 have built terraces with
both of these implements, and there
was no material difference in the ter
races when completed, but could do
faster work with the grading ma
chine
The tire of the year the terraces
are built means a good deal to the
farmer. Terraces built in the fall and
early winter are settled by the gentle
winter rains and are not so easily
broken when the spring downpours
come. If they are not built until late
spring they have little or no time to
settle until the spring floods come,
and are easily broken.
find it important to pay extra at
tention to the gullies: Where. the
terraces cross them l tramp the
places with the teams, and make the
terraces just bit higher and wider
there. These are the danger points
in the terraces. Nine itenths of the
breaks that l have experienced in the
past occurred at these places. That
was before I learned to make them
double strength.
During the summer following the
erection of the terraces, often have
to go over them and with my shovel
touch up" a few places that have
settled and become low, and maybe
occasionally a break or threatened
one. This little repair work is often
"a stitch in time," for by this means

past year l erected and superintend-

OUR COOK BOOK.
Tempting Recipes and Useful Hints
for Housekeepers.
Good Layer Cake.

one and One-nal1 cuplulS Ol HouI,
measured before sitting, one cupful
sugar, two teaspoonfuls baking pow
der, sifted together twice. Break
two eggs in a cup, fill the cup with
milk or water, pour into the dry in
sredients, add five tabiespoonfuls
melted butter. beat with egg-beater.
Pineapple Layer Cake.
A delicious filling for layer cake is
minced pineapple, sweetened to taste.
For the top make an icing with a
cupful of granulated sugar and
quarter of a cupful of pineapple
juice. When the. syrup will spin,
stir in a teaspoonful of lemon juice.
Then remove from the fire and turn
the hot syrup very slowly over the
stifiy beaten white of an egg, beat
ing constantly. Continue the beat
ing until the frosting is nearly cold.
Then spread it on the cake.
Poor Mans Delight.
This is a dish much like French
toast. 1t makes an attractive course
for lunch or for the Sunday night
supper. Take slices of stale bread
fully an inch tlick and soak them
in milk in which two or three eggs
have been we'll beaten. When the
bread is we'll soaked and swelled
through and through, fry it in butter.
The butter should be quite deep in
the pan and the bread nicely brown
ed on each side, and to secure the
beautiful golden tone the butter
should not be allowed to become too
hot. When it is done, place on
plate and sprinkle with granulated
sugar and cinnamon. Serve at once,
while it is still hot This toast is a
great favorite with the children, es-
pecially when eaten with homemade
lam or preserves, and makes good
dessert that can be quickly prepared
for unexpected company from materi-
ais almost sure to be at hand.
old-Fashioned Apple Fritters.
Ten ounces of flour, about one-half
bottle of light ale, a little salt, ten
sour apples Sufficient for eight or
ten persons.
Make a thick batter by mixing
-four, ale and salt. Peel, core and
slice the apples; dip each slice into
the batter, and fry light brown in
plenty of smoking-hot lard or drip
pings (lard is best.) Place them on
a sheet of paper to get rid of super
fuous grease; serve very hot, thick
" sprinkled with sugar and (if liked)
some cinnamon. Sliced pineapple or
| peaches make excellent fritters too.
Fudge.
Two cupfuls OF sugar, one-half
: cupful of milk, two tablespoonfuls Of
chocolate or cocoa, one tablespoonful
Of butter. Boil until it hardens in
water, stirring often. When done
add one teaspoonful OF vanilla. and
beat until quite thick; pour into
square buttered tin, and when partly
cold cut into inch squares.
