A new carburetor which cuts down
gasoline consumption of any motor
including the Ford, and reduces
gasoline bills from one-third to one
half is the proud achievement of the
Air-Friction Carburetor Co.. 1926
Madison ST, Dayton, Ohio. This re-
markable invention not only in
creases the power of all motors from
80 per cent. to SO per cent, but en-
ables everyone to run slow on high
gear. 1t also makes it easy to start
a Ford OIL any other car in the cold
est weather without previously
warming the motor. With it YOU
can use the very cheapest grade of
gasoline and still get more power
and more mileage than you now get
from the highest test gasoline. Many
Ford owners saw they now get as
high as IS to so miles to a gallon of
gasoline. So sure are the manufac-
turers OF the immense saving their
new c%arburetor Will make they they
offer to send it on 80 days trial to
every car owner. AS it can be nut
or taken off in a few minutes by
anyone, all readers who want to try
1t should send their name, address
and make of car to the manufac-
turers at once. They also want
local agents, to whom they oyer ex
ceptionally large profits. Write them

CALCIUM ARsENATE TREATMENT

An idea Of the benefit gained by
application of the calcium a~rsenate
treatment developed and recommend
ed by the United States Department
Of Agriculture against the cotton-boll
veevil. is found in the experience of
. large planter at Tallulah, La. With
the exception Of certain test plats. this
mans entire acreage was busted with
calcium arsenate, the cost being 1920
an acre. He obtained an average yield
Of 1915 pounds Of seed cotton to the
acre on the land surrounding the test
plats, while these imprisoned test
plats averaged only 800 pounds, or
about 25 per cent OF the yield on the
poisoned cotton. Thus his net profit
from poisoning on these areas on
sales made before declining prices Of
cotton was about $40 an aura

COOPERATIVE HOG SALE
IN BEA AUFORT COUNTY

Clemson College, Mar. 19.-Seven
Beaufort county farmers with the
assistance Of G. l.. Baxter, County
Agent, and f. l.. Harkey, Extension
Service Marketing Agent, shipped
two cars of hogs comparatively last
week, which netted the farmers 2 to
3 cents more than the local market Of
tcred. One car was shipped to Will
mington, N. c., and the other Green
vile, S. C. Most of the hogs came off
the islands around Beaufort and were
loaded and shipped, says Mr.. Harkey,
underc considerable difficulties as there
were no grading pens or scales for this
use at the shipping point.
The marketing agent followed the
Greenville car through the slaughter
house operations in order to find out
whether the hogs killed were hard or
soft" They had run an pasture with
abundance of acorns, and had then
been fed on corn for three or four
weeks previous to shipment. Most of
these hogs turned out "soft" pork, for
which it is impossible to get top prices
1t apepars that few weeks finishing
on corn will not make firm pork out
of "soft" hogs.
Many of the hogs now going out of
South Carolina, according to Mr..
Harkey, are killing "soft", and the
big markets do not want to take them
at all. Mr.. Harkey advises that hog
growers study the local Carolina mar
kcts since by doing so they will often
be able to get better prices for hogs
