recommended In sections of the South
NOT to make dalrying q major indus
try, but rather to establish a system
that would supply the home. demand
for dairy products, and ut the same
time build up and maintain soil fer
tility, both by supplying manure and
by enforcing q proper rotation OF
crops. This would make possible the
production of cotton and other staple
crops at greater profit. This was the
aim of the southern dairy extension
work, the first large scale extension
project attempted, which was started
under the direction of the dairy d..
vision of the Department Of Agricul-
ture in 1906, and carried forward CO.
operatIvely by the department and
the state agricultural colleges.
One of the first things corrected
was the poor feeding methods. Cot
tonseed meal and hulls formed tue
basis Of the ration; farmers had no
knowledge of balanced rations; silos
were few in number, and 1t was not
known generally that they could be-
built by farm labor. A few silos Were
erected in 1905 as demonstrations, and
the idea began to grow slowly In pop
ularity.
The value of silage compared With
cottonseed hulls was very striking,
even In the days when hulls were only
81 or SIS a ton. A dairy farm near
Biloxi, Miss, where 40 tons of silage.
were fed instead of ,%cottonseed bulls,
reported a saving of $3.50 for the win
ter.
"From a local standpoint" writes
one of the federal agents Of the dairy
division, 'the establishing Of dairytns
in the boll-weevil districts of Mississlp-
ri has been one Of the greatest
achievements. Anyone acquainted With
the dependency of TURNER'S in 1917
in southern Mississippi, and who was
enabled later to see the change wrought
by the dairy cows, will agree that en
thusiasm for daIrying is well founded
in a region that was f%loundering for
some means Of a livelihood, now
changed to a country in which the
farmers are supplying whole milk for
New Orleans and other points. This
means good methods are being used"

Loss in Lice-Infested Hogs.

Lice on hogs are extremely ex-
pensive. The fact was proved in ex-
periments recently concluded by the
Bureau of Animal Industry of the U.
S. Department OF Agriculture. 1t was
shown that lousy hogs not only con-
sumo more food and make less meat,
but that they ire uneasy or restless,
a condition that doubtless lessons the
pork producing abilities of the ami
mails. When not eating, the lice-rid-
den swine spent most of their time
rubbing themselves or running about.
If strangers came near they were no.
ticeably excited. This did not hold
true of hogs free from lice.
Three experiments, each extend
ing three months Oh more and with
from twenty to thirty hogs as sub
jects, were conducted. In one expert
ment it cost exactly 81 a hundred
pounds of pork more to feed the in
Tested animals. In another, it cost
$1.5O more, and in the third, $2.94
more. The specialists who conducted
the experiments reached the conclu,
sion that the main reason why hogs
with lice consume more protein feed
is due to the fact that the lice suck
the blood from the animals, and the
latter must use more feed to replace
their LOSSES.
But the infested hogs cannot make
up for the blood sucked by their par
asices. For instance, at the beginning
of one experiment, fifteen hogs with
lice weighed a total of 1167 pounds.
and fifteen hogs without lice weigh
ed 1925 pounds. At the end of the
experiment the lousy hogs weighed
1872 pounds and the clean hogs
weighed $3.50 pounds. More was eat
en- by the lousy animals than by the
clean ~ones.--Farm and Ranch.

The Cause of Cotton's Rise.

Commercial authorities declare
that the chief reason for the welcome
rise in the price of cotton is the fact
that the new crop is n of the small:
est in the history of the country, and
that the people r realizing that
they must resume the consumption
of cotton upon a large scale.
In discussing the situation Com
mercial and Financial America says:
"The impression prevails, and is
probably justified that the worlds
spinners have seldom had less cover
against forward requirements than
they hold this season and their re-
quirements have been very poorly
defined. People have been buying
very little and the bottom of prices
found nearly everyone short of sup.
plies"
There is no doubt that people quit
buying because they did not like
high prices, and of cours when the
consumers quit making purchases the
retail merchants quit buying. There
fore when the merchants quit buy
ing the manufacturers quit manufac-
turning. 1t was a simple case of every
body refraining from buying. People
decided that for a season they would
get along without cotton goods. I'M
Reproduction was the natural re
suit.
When the people began to buy
again the merchants of course placed
orders with the manufacturers. When
the manufacturers found that they
were being showered with orders
they naturally found they had to have
more cotton.
If the people of the South want
the price of cotton to continue to
rise let them continue to buy. To purr--
sue any other policy at this time
would be most unwise. Cotton is sell
ing for a good price now but we want
that price to go higher, and we firm
ly believe it will go higher.
All indications point to the early
return of our former prosperity. Let
us renew u courage and our hope.
Let us face the future with determi-
nation and with enthusiasm. Let US
buy-not foolishly but wisely. This
is not the time to hoard.-Charleston

Is Silage Better Kept in Con-
crete or Wooden Silos?

kSkS vi ~
Is silage any better when put up
in stave siIos than when it is saved
in concrete silos? Stave silos are
probably the most common kind;
they are usually less costly: Many
people, however, prefer the more per-
[manent concrete on account of the
greater durability and the fact that
the building material may be found
near the home in many cases; but
there is an impression on the part of
some people that the concrete silo
does not give good results in the pre-
servation of the silage from spelling
and from freezing. Experiments
made by the Dairy Division, United
States Department of Agriculture, do
not bear out this notion.
In experiments conducted on the
Dairy Division farm, at B%eltsyille,
Md, two silos were used, one con-
crete and one stave, standing side by
side. The stave silo was directly south
of the concrete one, and hence got
more sunshine and less north wind.
Otherwise they had exactly the same
conditions. Temperatures in the two
silos were taken by means of electrl-
cal thermometers buried in the 81
lage, which made a record which
could be read on the outside. The
thermometers were placed at 8 inch
in and 18 inches from the wall and
also in the middle of each silo. Three
sacks of silage we're carefully weigh
ed and buried in each silo at various
depths, close to the thermometers
and when the silage was fed down
to where the sacks were, their con-
tents were taken out and analysed.
The quality of the silage was
judged by it's appearance and odor
and it's palatability to the cows. If
much difference had been apparent
a feeding trial would have been made
to see which lot of silage was bet
ter, but the results in the two silos
were SO nearly alike that it was not
thought worth while to make the
feeding test.
In short, neither the temperatures
nor the chemical analysis of the two
Einds of solage revealed any marked
difference that could be aseribed to
the material used in the construction
of either silo. Cows ate the silage
from both silos with the same avidity.
It is concluded, therefore, that far
mers may build stave silos or con-
crete silos, whichever they prefer,
without any fear of not getting good
silage from either one, if the silage
is put up right.
1t is assumed, of course, that the
silo in either last will be properly
constructed, with smooth walls,
straight up and down, so as to be
free from pockets and bulges, and
properly coated inside with coal tar
or some similar preparation; and
that the silage will be properly pack
ed, so that all air will be excluded.
Silage will not keep in any kind of
silo unless packed down and kept
alright

New Session is Record Breaker

New Session is Record Breaker
Clemson College, Sept. 16.-The
opening of the 1922 session Of
Clemson College yesterday was a rec
ord breaker. While exact Hguses are
changed every hour because of new
arrivals, there are now, counting all
classes and courses, s25 or $50 men
on the grounds. The one-year agri-
cultural students will not report un-
til October. President Riggs says that
there will likely be a thousand men
enrolled this session. The enrolment
on the opening day is fully a hundred
above that of any other opening day
in the history of the institution.
Especially to be noted are the large
number of old students returning.
After deduction for the graduating
class and for those not eligible to re-
turn, more than SO per cent of old
students are enrolled again. And bet
ter still, they seem determined to
make this year a success in every re-
spect.
Large Freshman Class.
The freshman class approximates
three hundred and fifty men, the
largest perhaps, on record. These men
are well prepared and mature. The
average age OF these freshmen is
about eighteen and a half.
The big chapel was full this morn
ing and even the gallery was almost
full. The Rev. j. K. Goode conducted
the religious exercises. DR.. w. M.
Riggs announced that S. C. Tillman
was expected to make the welcome
address, but that ne had been de-
tanned at the last minute by court
business in Greenwood. President
Riggs, though not expecting to do SO,
made a brief welcome address in
which he spoke of the advantages,
attractions and opportunities at
Clemson, reviewed the work of last
session and sketched briefly but most
interestingly the joys and hardships
Of a college year. Earnestly and con-
vincingly he spoke for a true college
spirit that would unsparingly con-
denim any unfairness in sports, in
class work or in conduct and that
would demand honesty, integrity,
and gentlemanly conduct at all times,
in all places and in every relationship.
The New Commandant.
President Riggs introduced Col.
Madison Pearson major U. S. Al
as the new communicate. Col. Pear
son, who has been associate comman-
dant last session, was neartlly fe-
ceived and made a very brief state
ment.
There have been very few changes
made in the faculty, probably the
smallest number of changes on rec
ord.
The work of the classes started
Immediately after chapel exercises.
The students at Clemson are near
ly all South Carolinians, because the
rules require the college to provide
for these men first. Every nook and
corner of the state is represented.
Among the students are numbered l
from Paris, one from Jamaica and
one from Madras, India, and a few

Who Made the AIphabet2

II 1t takes u genius to make great

the alphabet which makes the words.
The pedigree of our alphabet can be
traced continuously for nearly 5000
years, and then comes hiatus, says a
recent writer. The genesis Of writing
must naturally be sought In pictures.
Caveman. when he painted his women

and elephants on antlers and tusks.
was laying the foundations Of one Of
the great human Inventions. Behind
all this apt artistic effort we must see
some esoteric motive. for 1t was not
due merely to the striving Of the crea-
tive soul after expression. Doubtless,
adds our authority, when caveman held
an exhibition of his works. his friends
praised the ingenuity and beauty of
his pictures, but there is something
more than the desire Of simple repro
duction hidden in his handlwork.
