High School Notes
Wednesday,, Dec 8th the Potosi high
school basket ball team went down to
defeat by the st. Mary's team of Du-
buque by a score of IA to %. The
game was played at the ST. Mary's
Casino in Dubuque. The teams are
equally matched, both i'll weight and
basket shooting, but the Potosi five
were handicapped by the smallness
Of the hall which was not adequate
for real team work and signals. The
Potosi highs are loud in their praises
for the kind treatment accorded them
by the Dubuque boys The Potosi lads
are confident that they can defeat
their friendly rivals on a larger floor,
and in consequence are arranging for
a game in Potosi on an open court
probably Dec. 13 or IA, weather per-
hitting. Should this game be sched-

DEPTH OF CORN CULTIVATION

Many comparative experiments of
deep and shallow cultivation have
been made, and on the whole the re-
suits are in favor Of shallow cultiva-
tion, say specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The occasions when deep cultivation
is preferable are few. If, excessive
rains have packed the soil and kept
it water soaked, deep cultivation will
help to dry and aerate it. Breaking
the roots Of the plants must be avoid
ed SO, far as possible. If roots are
broken the plants will rapidly produce
other roots, but it will be at the ex-
pense of vitality and the food supply.
After the plants have reached
height of 2 or 3 feet, the soil even
in the middle of the rows should not
be cultivated deeper than a inches, and
usually shallower cultivation will
prove better. A loose soil mulch 2 or
3 inches in thickness should be main
tanned. 1t retains soil moisture and
facilitates the penetration of rainfall.

HOW TO CARE FOR HEN
THAT HAS BECOME BROODY

When hens become broody, they
should be "broken up" quickly as pos
sible, for the sooner this is done the
sooner they will resume laying. To
break a hen of broodiness she should
be confined to a small coop raised off
the ground, preferably with a slat
bottom. Give her plenty of water to
drink; she may be fed or not, as de-
sired. Not MUCH difference will be
found in the time required to break
her of broodiness, whether she is fed
or made to fast, United States De-
partment of Agriculture poultry

perity and Poverty.

The state board of public welfare
through its secretary, G. Croft Will
liams has completed it's analyses of
the crime statistics of South Carolina
for the quarter ending March 81.
Those statistics are only approximate
as they are based upon the Jail com
mitments. However, in so large a
number Of commitment there is a
clear indication as to the character
and amount of crime in the state. The

ception of Anderson, Calhoun, Green
vile, Marion, Oconee, Pickens and
Richland, Sd per cent. Of the counties
therefore reported over against 81 per
cent. of the preceding quarter.
"The analyses of crime" says Mr..
Williams, gives peassuring results.
The report of the preceding quarter
was extremely disheartening. There
was no special reason apparent for
the steady advance of crime, SO it was
feared that there were resident anti
social forces that were here to oper-
ate with deadly vigor until they could
be eliminated by the slow processes
of educating the coming generation.
But the quarter ending March 81
showed a remarkable decrease in all
crimes.
"For the first time since the board
has kept statistics on the causes of
commitment the number homicides
has gone down." says Mr.. Williams.
During the quarter ending December
81, there were 94 homicides, in the
last quarter there were only 81. 1t

some hens require 10 to 12 days,
The broody hen will be recognized
by her inclination to stay on the, nest
at night, the ruffling of her feathers
and her picking at any one who ap-
proaches her, and by the clucking
noise she makes. The fact that her
broodiness has been broken up can
be recognized by the disappearance
of these symptoms.

Sad is 1t when the brief story of the

prospect of the endless monotony of

But that was where the Smiths
stood. Their honeymoon had soon
waned under the stress of modern
life. In fact, Mrs. Smith was already

dearment couldn't get kind word out
Of her.
The tiff happened on Wednesday,
aud lasted till Sunday morning, when
he, attired for his usual stroll. asked
her:
What is for dinner today, my dear?"
His suave voice and winning smile
earned for him brief retort. The
lady replied with more force than
grace:
"Oh, ratsi"
But he was not caught unawares.
With sweet smile he countered with
the remark:
