Cleanup Campaign
in Full Sway with
Many Willing Aides

Augusta people are to be congratu-
lated upon their willingness to carry
out the spirit and purposes of the
special cleanup drive that is being
conducted this week. Secretary
Clarke reports splendid cooperation
on every hand. The newly organized
community helpers" did their Fork
well, covering up tin cans on dumps,
raking and cleaning up various va
cant lots, and lending a hand wher-
ever possible. These boys made
thorough job of the unsightly water
front back of the business houses on
Water street. where they piled rake
and shovel theoretically and picked
up paper, cans, old bags and other
rubbish, and all manner of debris
that had collected there during the
past winter. They even climbed to
the top of the coal sheds and removed
two bushel basket of rusty tui
cans careleSsly thrown there by resi-
dents of the adjacent liildings. They
stuffed their collections into boxes
and barrels all ready for the visit OF
the trucks. They raked over ash
heaps and filled low places that
needed attention. AS a reward Cor
their faithfulness the boys were each
given a free ticket to the Colonial
Theatre.
Letters were sent to such places
as were mentioned by the Cleanup
committee. but many of them were
unnecessary as the people were al
ready busy with the task Of cleaning
up or had made some arrangement
with the ashman to look after theiri
premises. 1t was a pleasure to look
down the streets and see lawns
raked up, yards clean and the tidy
appearance of the city in general.
1t certainly made it's appeal to ones
civic pride and it is but another evil
dence of the thorough way in which
the people of Augusta take hold of
things when they are convinced that
they should do so.
The committees will make a re-
survey today and then make a Joint
report of their final findings to Mayor
Sanford L. Fogg.
Street Commissioner ]. G. Long

from all but School, Murray and
Quimby streets and that these streets
would be cleaned up today. He had
five large trucks at work yesterday
and they kept on the job until s

and from the east side to the How

Butter Contests Improve Quality of
Farm Output

County and State butter contests, a
feature of South Carolina extension
work for women last year, accom-
plished much in the way of improv-
ing the dairy industry there. South
Carolina is not dairy state. 1t
uses annually about S14,00O,00O
worth of dairy products shipped in
from other states. Some of this i'm
portation is due to the fact that
while there is large amount Of
farm butter produced within the
state, no steady demand for it has
been developed. For the purpose of
creating an interest in this farm
made butter, and to teach the women
to make better product, contests
which were open to home demon
stration club members were started
during 1921 in II counties.
Butter demonstrations were given
in all the womens clubs, and all in
terested persons were invited to
demonstration by the state specialist
at the county seat. Three hundred
and sixty women and girls enrolled
for the contests, and of these 120
sent. butter for every judging. With
out exception there was a great i'm
provement in the packages brought
to market and the quality of the
butter sold, as the women learned to
what extent the butter is affected by
the temperature used for ripening
and churning, the care and cleanli-
ness in handling, and the feeds for
the COW.
Contest butter" sold very readily
at the various club markets. and
those who did not enter the con-
test were obliged to make improve
ment in the quality of what they of
fered for sale or lose the market for
their butter. Extension workers re-
port to the United States Department
Of Agriculture that the hutter pro-
duced in all parts of the state has
been perceptibly improved as a re
suit of these contents.

from the service she had charge of a
large operating room in Brooklyn.
Miss TAFT was in this hospital for
four or five months and within a week
of the time she. was discharged from
the United States service she was en-
listed in the Red Cross Siberian Relief
Corps. She went to Japan en- route
for Siberia, but as the work there was
not yet organized she entered a large
naval hospital which had been opened
for the use of many Czecho-Slovak SOL
diers whoe<were being sent to Japan
through Russia for treatment. This
hospital was not run by the navy. but
was under the management of the Red
Cross. After about eight months
work in this hospital Miss TAFT re-
turned to this country and since that
time she has been the assistant super
intendent Of the Woonsocket hospital
Miss TAFT arrived in this city Sun
day afternoon and has been very busy
at the hospital since that time. She
has had no time to look the city over
but said that she went to the Elks
Minstrels and had a fine time. She
was much pleased with the new wing
of the hospital and said that it was
very fine for city of the size of Au-
gusta. The old wing. of course. is not
up to the standard set by the new
wing and she links that the people of
this city will in time add another wing
to the hospital, SO that it viii not be
necessary to use the old one.
The city is fortunate in securing as
its hospital superintendent one who
has had such wide experience, both in
nursing and as an executive.

Progress Made in Control of Gu
cumber Mosaic Disease

Investigations of the cucumber
mosaic disease made during the past
year show that it is carried over win
ter by the common perennial milk
weed, as well as the wild cucumber.
Both, therefore, according to the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture, are a menace to the growing
Of cucumbers, muskmelons, and re-
lated vine crops.
The eradication of the wild cucum-
Der for n considerable area around
cultivated cucumber fields has given
encouraging results in controlling
mosaic. and it is believed that the
combined eradication of wild cucum-
Der and milkweed may prove a prac-
tical means of further control.
Another step looking toward the
control of cucumber mosaic was TAX
en- recently through the action of the
Seed Trade Association at it's meet
ing held in st. Louis. when, at the re-
quest of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, it agreed to
withdraw wild cucumber seed from
the trade.
In addition, the Investigations
show that the rapidity and severity
of the development of cucumber mo.
sale are related to soil and air tenn
peratures. A temperature of Sc de-
grees +. go degrees c. favors in
lection and the rapid development
Of the disease, while temperatures
below 6S degrees T. eco degrees CO
retard or entirely prevent its appear
ance.
Cucumber mosaic is serious and
widespread in the large pickle
growing areas of the middle west, as
we'll as other localities, and the dis
covery of methods for reducing loss
es from it is therefore a distinct con-
tribution to the progress of the in
dustry. The department plans to fur

Poultry Hatcheries Being Inspected
in Wisconsin

The Wisconsin poultry hatchcries
are the only ones in the United
States which are under state regu-
lation and inspection. according To-
information collected by the United
States Department OF Agriculture.
Because Of the menace 10 the poul-
try industry through the sale of
young chicks Of inferior quality and
breeding, the state Department OF
markets and the poultry department
or the University of Wisconsin have
established regulations and require
ments for hatchery flosks and lor
hatcheries, and those that FIJI the re-
quirements and live up TO the rcgu-
lations will be known as Wisconsin
Inspected and Accfedited Hatchery
Flocks." \ list OF the accredited
hatcheries and floCks has been pre-
pared and published. Chicks pur-
chased from hatcheries on the list
bear the mark of the Department of
Markets which gives assurance that
they are standard bred and from
reasonably good egg producing
strains. Inspectors issue certificates
to owners of hatCheries and nocks
that fill the requirements.
