MILK DECREASES WHEN
COWS MUST FIGHT FLIES

Decrease in milk production
loses of live weight, discomfort and
unrest are promoted among herds
during the summer months as the
consequence of the activities of the
common stable fly and horn fly.
An average decrease in milk flow
of from 20 to 40 per cent is not un-
common as the direct result of flies
und the extreme heat of summer
Under existing conditions with a
Keen demand for dairy products and
with prices at high mark, it is
highly desirable that every dairy
farmer exercise a maximum of care
and caution to eliminate the fly evil,
according to dairy specialists of the
United States department of agricul-
ture. Remedies are darkened barns.
stable sanitation, and spraying
OF manure, its daily removal from
the barn to distance, the use of
hanging burlap or other devices in
the barn doors to brush flies from
the animals, baited fly traps placed
outside the barn, and closed milk
pals are among the necessary re-
qrirements for keeping the flies
away.
The stable fly, armed with biting
mouth parts, punctures the hide of

II finds expression in the constant
plea to fight the foe with the dread
naught and drier." The national
benefit of this progress in enhancing
the staying powers of the home-
grown food supply is very great.
As means of providing for win
ter food needs the Importance Of
fruit drying is given special emphasis
this year by the scarcity Of sugar.
Hoover states that the sugar short
age is real problem at this time.
To save by drying prevents tying up
sugar which is needed to meet i'm
mediate demands This gives added
impetus to the need for drying OF
fruits as well as vegetables.

In MemOrian

In sad and loving memory Of our deal
sister. Gula Powers Mauldin, who de
parted this life March 25, 1918;
on, how hard we tried to save her,
Prayers and tears were all in vain
Happy angels came and took her
From this world of toll and pain.
You are not forgotten. sister,
Nor will you ever be;
AZ long as life and memory lasts
We will always think of thee.
Few months have passed, our hearts
are sore;
AS time fiies on we miss her more.
Her loving voice. her welcome face.
No one can fill her vacant place.
Forget her! No, we never will;
We loved her then-we love her still
Her memory is as fresh today
AS in the hour she passed away.
We paused and breathed PRAYER
above the sod
And left her to rest with God.
SISTER EVA.

Mrs. r. A. Bowen Dead

We are grieved this week to chronicle
the death of Pickens' best beloved wo-
man, Mrs. r. A. Bowen, who gently
fell asleep in Jesus just before the mid
night hour of Sept. 4th age GA years.
She was daughter of Benjamin F.
and Mary Hammett Morgan of Dacus-
vile, and spent her girlhood in that
section where she was always held in
loving remembrance. She was married
to Robert A. Bowen about 48 years ago
and made her home in Pickens where
none knew her but to love. Her home
and her church were her castles and in
those she will be especially missed. A
woman of superior intellectual endow-
ments, it was privilege to be associa-
ted with and advised by her. Gentle,
courteous, refined. she typified the
christian character of the sweetest
type, and it is pleasure to hear her
eXtolled by her neighbors, who give her
that good name" that is better than
riches. For several months her health
had failed but with an energetic will

keep up until one week before her
death. When the summons came she
was ready and like baby falling asleep
she gently glided out into the "arms of
Jesus" where she was so prepared to
go. The devotion of her husband and
children was beautiful to behold and
the heartfelt sympathy of hundreds
of friends go Gout to them in this
sad hour. The surviving children
left to comfort their father are Mrs
K. M. Holden of Calhoun, Mrs. j. f.
Banister of Liberty, c. M. Bowen of
Central and Miss Florence Bowen of
Plckens. James II. and b. A. Morgan
of Greenvile are her brothers and Mrs
f. j. Griffin Of Pickcns and Mrs. j. N.
Morgan of Central are sisters. The
funeral was held at the home on Thurs
day afternoon by the pastor, Rev. Mr..
Hodges, where the service was sweet
and simple, and the interment followed
at the Pickens cemetery.

From the returns now in it appears
certain that the election of Pollock as
U. S. senator for the short term is as
sured. From present indications the
lead Wolfe has over his opponent,
Claude N. Sapp, can not be overcome
and that the Anderson man. will be
nominated.
The result of the other offices are in

third race between the candidates for
