DIAL URGES MORE
POULTRY RAISING

Washington, Oct 23.-Regarding
the establishment of dairy poultry
plants in the south, Senator Dial made
the following statement here today:
II have read in one Of the South
Carolina newspapers about the es-
tablishmcnt of a dairy-poultry farm
in one Of the South Carolina coun-
ties. | think there is nothing better
that many persons of small means
could do at this time than to cstab-
lish poultry farms, where the various
kinds Of fowls might be hatchcd and
sold at good prices. Such a thing
would take but very small amount
OF money to begin with and is some
thing that with good management,
almost increases itself from day to
day as the poultry hatch and grow.
Recently | was at McBcc and met
man by the name of White, who
told me that he had cleared some
thing like $500 on poultry in a year.
That Is a very good showing and is
an indication Of what may be done
elsewhere
'"Thc great resources OF the United
states Department Of Agriculture arc

goes, to any and all persons who wish
to avail themselves of its wonderful

ing. The department will be glad to
send these bulletins and any other
information it has to any persons who
may desire them. |, too, will secure
these and forward them tO~any of my
constituents who may be interested in
this matter.
Another thing that occurs to my
mind Is that in short time there
should be more cheese factories in
South Carolina. Here again, the gov
ernment will Willingly supply any in
formation that may be desired abso-
lutcly free Of charge.
II hope our people will so into
these industries. They require little
capital, would furnish them with
something to sell at good prices the
year round, something to eat at
home, and besides, would be an excel

ton relieving all owners of automo-
biles of the penalty imposed by act
No. 494 of 1921 for failure to OBJ
tain automobile licenses within the
prescribed time, on condition that the
fee be paid on or before June Ia. The
proclamation says: "The purpose of
this proclamation is not to sanction

many representations from owners
over the state that it will work a
hardship on a great number of our
people, caused by the very unusual de-
preston existing at this time"

CAPITAL EXCITED
OVER OIL SHOWING

Little Rock, May 24-The discovery
of crude petroleum in sandbar in the
lower part of North Little Rock has
created considerable of sensation IN
the city. No satisfactory explanation
has yet been agreed upon of the
presence of the oil. Whether it is
a seepage from Oklahoma or from the
work being done on the bridges is an
open question; and there is strong
faction which believes that it is an
evidence of an oil pool. So strong is
this belief that the attorney general
is being besieged by persons seeking
leases on the river bed.
The same day the discovery was
made, lease was taken out by Gen.
eral Lloyd England, local banker,
on the river bed from Big Rock TO a
point several miles below the city. 1t
now appears that lease was granted
by Former Attorney General Arbuckle
to John P. Streepey Of Little Rock
for the lower portion of this same river
bed. Because of the possibility of
conflict, Attorney General Utley is ad-
ding to all leases issued by him the
condition, Subject to rights of former
lessees, if any, and of riparian own
ers, rightfully claiming" At least n
dozen inquiries were received yester-
day from persons seeking leases.

an assessment for the support of &C
Invites in this county. Guy, Enders

county contests. In addition, the fund
will pay the expenses of three mem
bers from each club to the Russell
vile short course and of stock

Experiments.

How to produce and use alcohol
for automotive fuel is the problem
that is interesting England today,
William S. James Of the Bureau of
Standards told the Washington sec
tion OF the Society OF Automotive
Engineers at the Cosmos Club Fri
day night. Utilization of the tropical
vegetation of the British colonies is
being experimental upon, and much
Is being done to find a denaturing
agent other than wood alcohol,
which forms a harmful gum in the
engine.
France has not yet started to de-
sign or produce new engines, but Is
manufacturing prewar types in the
face of untitled orders. said James
in telling of this recent trip abroad
Germans are suppressing any inven-
tions that they may be making for
fear they will be confiscated by the
fnterallied commission, he said.
English motor fuel. which con-
sists largely OF mixtures of gasoline
and coal tar distillates, are much
better than the gasoline used in this
country he said. The end points Of
the foreign fuels are 20 to 30 de-
grees centigrade lower than ours.
Light cars have been developed
much more in England than here,
James said. About half of the Eng
lish automobiles weigh under 1000
pounds, while only three or four
American cars can be, classed light"

The plaintiff relies upon testimony

On this occasion, Attorney Lam
