Clemson College, May 20. - The
production Of meat in South Caro-
lima has always been less than the
consumption would warrant, and T..
Is now necessary to increase this
production because the purchasing
power of many OF the meat consum-
ers has been greatly lessened on ac-
count Of the present economic condl-
tons. The sheep offers one Of the
most profitable types Of livestock
to make this increase, according to
L. V. Starkey, chief of the animal
husbandry division, who thinks that
small farm flocks Of about SO ewes
should be seen on many farms.
Sheep require less care than hogs
and much less range than beef cat
tie, and In a thickly populated State
OF small farms, such as South Caro-
lima, they should prove a profitable
source Of revenue.
Wool and Meat from Sheep.
An average high grade sheep can
produce a fleece weighing from five
to eight pounds and raise lamb
weighing 80 pounds in year. II
necessary 1t can live without a single
mouthful Of grain, since our forage
crops and permanent pastures will
carry sheep the year round. Though
In this section Of the country grain
is scarce, forage crops and perma4
nent pastures may be cheaply and
easily grown, and sheep will utilize
these crops at profit. I'm fact,
sheep have two important advan-
tages over other classes Of livestock.
They require practically no grain
and they destroy brush and bushes.
Drawbacks May 30 Overcome.
1t is quite true that there are
many drawbacks to sheep raising,
such as dogs, stomach worms, poor
fences. poor markets, etc., but these
difficulties may be overcome. For
example, If the people in a commu-
nifty get Interested in sheep they also

lambs by tho carload.
The best way to get into the sheep
business is to locate and purchase
half-doZen high grade ewes. By
saving tho eve lambs tho flock may
be gradually enlarged to the size de-
sired.

sheep better adapted to this state
than the Southdowns. They arc very
hardy, blocky sheep, we'll adapted to

a BOOZE-PIANE is WRECKED.
Ono Hundred Bottles Arc Broken In
the Crash.

New York, May 17.-The wreck
ing Of a whiskey laden airplane near
Croton-on-Hudson, where New York
citys drinking water comes from,
caused prohibition authorities yes
tcrday to consider steps to. prevent
this form Of smuggling from Canada.
The plane was a double-seater, and
the passenger cockpit had been filled
with bottled goods packed in gunny
sacks. A clew as to the origin of the
cargo was copy Of Montreal news
paper.
George J. Mccall, former deputy
sheriff Of West Chester county, was
disturbed by the manoeuvers Of an
airplane soaring just above his homo
and evidently seeking a good place
to land.
At last the driver chose O side hill
for the end OF his flight. One wing
OF the plane struck as the machine
came to the earth, and In an instant
the machine was wreck. Mr.. Nc
Call ran toward the airplane, expect
ing to discover some one dead, but
found instead an irate and limping
man, who hurried toward an auto
mobile,' which apparently had been
waiting for him. He climbed in and
was whirled away. One hundred
quart bottles were broken In the
crash and fifty we're intact.

Against Atkinson and Parker for
! $4,000 Damages in Accident.
(Anderson Mail, 1Sth.)

Suit has been started by Thomas
r. Keith against Henry Parker and
W. e. Atkinson for damages In the
sum Of $4,000 for injuries he receiv-
ed when a Alarmon automobile, al
legged to have been driven by Henry
Parker and owned by w. Il. Atkin-
son, struck the buggy in which iNIr.

"That on or about the Sth day Of
April, 1922, a short time after dark,
on the evening Of said date, the
plaintiff, while riding In buggy
drawn by horse on the public
highway between Clemson College
and the town Of Seneca, in Oconee
county, was overtaken and run into
from the rear by an automobile
owned by The defendant, w. e.. At
kinson, being Model No. 81, Marmon
automobile, S. c. License, ETC., which
was operated by the defendant, Hen
ry Parker. .That as a result of said
collision plaintiffs buggy was en-
tsrely demolished and plaintiff was
thrown therefrom and was badly cut
and bruised in many places, several
bones Of his body being broken and
his skull badly fractured; and that
by reason Of said injury plaintiff has
suffered much pain, both physically
and mentally has been caused to ex-
pend large sums Of money in hos
pital bills, doctors bills and in the
purchase Of medicine, and is inform
cd and believes that the injuries to
his person are Of such nature as to
cause him to be permanently dis
abled.
THAT the destruction Of plaintiff's
property and injury to plaintiffs per-
son was the direct and proximate
result of the negligent, careless,
wilful, wanton and reckless conduct
OF the defendant, Henry Parker, in
operating said automobile in viola
tion Of law and in disregard Of the
rights of the plaintiff in the follow
ing particulars:
First. In operating said automo-
bile when he, the said Henry Par
kcr, was under the influence Of in
toxicating liquors, as plaintiff is in
formed and believes, to such an ex-
tent as to render him incapable Of
exercibing due care and caution in
the operation Of such motor vehicle.
Second. In driving said automo-
bile at an excessively high rate Of
sleed, and a greater rate Of speed
than was proper under tho circum-
stances.

Clemson College, May 19.-Many
inquiries and requests for informa-
ton regarding the different classes
or machines for applying calcium ar
| senate for boil weevil control are be-
Ing received by the entomology di-
vision, and Prof. A. f. Conradi, en-
tomoiogist, gives the following In
formation regarding tho matter:
The machinery for dusting calci-
um arsenate for boil weevil control
Is divided into four classes-hand
blower guns, mule-back busters,
one-mule busters and two-horse cart
busters
The hand blower gun costs ap-
proximately $500 and has capa-
city Of eight acres per season. 1t
may be used In small operations and
Is especially designed for use in con-
ncction with larger machines for tho
dusting Of hooks and corners not ac-
cessible 10 horse drawn machines. 1t
dusts ono row ut a time, is too la
POROUS to use on an extensive scale
and as rule Is not long-liyed. But
besides its limited use in busting
cotton, 1t is very useful article on
any farm for busting potato beetles,
cabbage worms, etc
The mule-back gun Gusts two rows
and is generally very satisfactory OK
cept that great Improvement is still
necessary in anchoring the machine
solidly on the mules back. The ma
chine will cover successfully about
thirty acres per season and costs be-
tween sos and SEQ.
The one-mule duster dusts two
rows, has capacity for sixty acres
per season and costs about $12O.
The two-mule machine or cart ma
chine dusts three rows and has a
capacity for about one hundred acres
per season. The price varies from
$215 to $3.50.
Lights are not included in the
above specifications and must be fur
nished separately. The farmer can
easily contrive some kind Of lighting
arrangements for the hand blower
gun and the mule-hack machine. For
tho one and two-horse machines
some people use good engine head
light. The best form Of light for the
machines is the carbic light, which
costs about $50. One manufacturer
has on hand limited number Of
these lights and is selling them out
al $4,000 while they last.
1t is suggested that every farmer
who intends to poison secure copy
lof Circular 162 of the U. 8. Delta
Laboratory and copy Of the letter
on poisoning in 1922 issued by the
Extension Service Of this college,
which will be furnished upon request

DEATH COMES TO j. b. PALMER
In WindstOrm - Body Found, Life
loss, After Storm had Passed.
(Tusaloo Tribune, 10th. }

(Tusaloo Tribune, 16th.)
1t was great shock to the COM
munity to learn on last Thursday af-
ternoon that the dead body Of J. B.
palmer, Confederate veteran, was
found on the highway known as the
Davis bridge road on Chauga creek.
Mr.. Palmer's home is at what Is
known as the old Elbert Davis place,
about half way between whore r. r.
Davis now lives and Chauga creek.
J. NJ. Davis lives just across Chauga
from where Mr.. Palmer lived. After
partaking Of hearty dinner Mr..
Palmer walked to Mr.. Davis's resi-
dence to attend to some business.
While there dark cloud began to
rise, and Mr.. Palmer started home,
hoping to get there before the rain
came up, as it would be such bad
travelling after the rain. After tho
rain his body was found, cold in
death, and lying across the road near
what is known as the Walters farm.
His body had fallen in such manner
as to have turned the course Of the
water in the deluge, and sand wash
cd into his pockets. His hat was
blown some one hundred yards from
his body.
The verdict Of the coruner's jury
was that his death was due to natu-
raj causes. 1t is supposed that Mr..
Palmer became fatigued by the walk
up the long hill and his heart gave
way. Another supposition is that he
might have been blown down by the
strong wind and drowned. He was
making an effort to get home before
being overtaken by the storm, and it
Is natural to suppose he was travel
Ing as fast as he could, and man
Of his age Is easily fatigued and over
come by weakness. There were no
signs of foul play or having been
struck by lightning. We understand
death overlook him IN sight, or al
most in sight, Of his home.
Mr.. Palmer was almost 81 years
OF age, having been born June 9th,
1885. His death removes another
Confederate veteran. Mr.. Palmer
served with distinction through the
Civil War and was one Of the PEN
sioners Of Oconee. He came to West
Minister week before last and had his
last pension check cashed.
For many years Mr.. Palmer lived
near Walhalla, where he owned a
home and q small farm. He was
we'll known over the county. There
are many who will deeply regret to
learn Of his death. He was a fine
farmer and q good carpenter and
wood-workman. Many Of the houses
in the vicinitics Of Walhalla and Con-
cross were built by him. He was
hard and faithful worker.
For the past four years Mr.. Pal
mer had been living in this vicinity.
He Is survived by three daughters
and one son-NIrs. Georgia Ann Nc
Afree, Of North Carolina; Mrs. Lou
Belcher and Miss Alethia Palmer,
and Charles Palmer, who are at the
Palmer home. His wife died twelve
years ago.
The body was buried in the Toxa-
way cemetery on Friday afternoon
at o'clock.
There are many who sympathize
with the bereaved family.
