Why Figure Hogs on Our
lsSs Program.

sngs to the fact that new money crops
ARE much in demand in South Caro-
lima at the present time, it is we'll to
consider the relative merits Of the
Various possibilities along this line.
Harmers are diversifying but are
having trouble finding crops which
ran be produced at any considerable
act profit with any degree of GER
.ainty. There have been two large
blocks in the way of the
average South Carolina farmer un-
der the one-crop cotton system first,
a large fertilizer bill, regardless of
crop production; second, having to
Sell on market not controlled in
any large measure by supply and de-
shnand.
The hog crop is not endangered
by these stumbling blocks, and aside
from these facts it has several 9th
.er points much in it's favor, says S.
D. Sims, Extension Swine Specialist,
who calls attention to the following
facts. The crops grown for pork feed
are in the main legume crops which
naturally build up the soil, If these
crops are pastured, over three
fourths of the plant food contained
in the crop is returned to the oil.
1T can be readily seen therefore that
by continuous system Of livestock
management, the soil can be enrich
ed, and at the same time. the far
mer will have sure source of prof
il. t.swithout spending large sums for
commercial fertilizers.
In regard to the matter of mar
.keting, there are few crops which
are so nearly dependent on supply
and demand for their selling price
as. are hogs. Slightly highe, prices
usually prevail in April and Septem-
Der, since in these months fewer
hogs are coming on the market. The
majority of the hogs come from the
Corn Belt and are put on the market
in June and July and December and
Jannary it does not pay to go
80 nl5cgS q exSra pense i'm order.to
finish pork for the higher markets,
because the difference is so slight,
though with the favorable climate
prevailing in our state for contin-
uous growing season, we can come
nearer catering to high price periods
than producers in more rigorous eli
mates.
Other salient features Of this
great crop are small initial invest
ment and rapid increase. Very little
equipment is needed besides shade
and water. Cheap individual houses
are all that are necessary. The in
crease ranges from 500 to 1000 per
cent per year, and the offspring
reach breeding age before they are
year old.

Extensive drillings into the great active volcano Kilama on the island of Hawaii, will be undertaken during the year in an endeavor to determine the heat of the volcano, the quantity of steam underneath, the mineral con- stituents and the solution of other related questions, according to an an- nouncement of the government volca~ nOloSist at Hawaii. '"The places of most interest are where the ground is hot from recent volcanic activity" the scientist said. Tt is aimed to pene- trate the surface where the lava flows are Of known date so as to learn what changes of temperature under ground have taken place with the passage of time.

The origin of the Chinese is lest in the mistS of antiquity, notes K. $. LatOurette. in The Development of China Native historians believe them to have sprung from the soil and to have evolved their own civilization unaided. Western scholars are more inclined to trace a connection between them and the ancient Sumerians of the Tigris-Euphrates valley, some of whom may have migrated overland to China, bringing their culture with them. Fl. G. Wells, in his Outline of History" says that there are evil dences fin Chinese annals of two pre- historic racial strains. one northern and one southern, that may have mingled their blood and their civiliza- tion. Their culture Is undoubtedly very ancient.

SURELY MEAN MAN
Young Woman Had Her Idea Ot
 Staten islander.
All Right to Employ Flashlights In a Proper Manner, but One shouId
 Use Discretion.

"Ftreflies in winter !" calculated the visitor to Staten island. He was gaz- ing on a little lake set in the midst of a stretch of woodland. It was a dark night, unlighted by a moon, and yet having that clarity of atmosphere that makes even a dark night outdoors so much less dark than a dark room.
 Above the figures which he could dimly descry moving about on the frozen surface of the pond numbers of irefIies seemed to fit. The lights followed the gyratiOns of the skaters, 1t appeared, coming together at times in groups of golden points picked out against the darkness.
 "It isn't firefies, it's flashlights" re- piled the Staten island householder who had led a group of Manhattan visitors through the woods to the pond. Here on Staten island, where we're close to nature, we don't patron ize rinks, but seek out open-atr lakes and ponds. Flashlights have come to be part of our necessary skating equipment because we have to pro vide our own lights on secluded ponds far from municipally lighted areas.
 we drive our cars down to the edge of the lake and then leave the headlights on while we skate. but even this Eliminates only a small part of the lake. For putting on skates, identifying friends and finding our way over the occasional rough stretches of ice we have to depend on our tlashlights.''
 A look of distress. mantled the face of the Staten islander momentarily.
 By George, had a narrow escape the other night" he cOnt1ded. If it hadn't been for my fashlIght I'd have been a goner."
 "Holdup manY questioned the Man. hattanfte.
 "HOldup" scOrnfully replied the Staten islander. "Why. man. that's nothing to what I got away from. almost said something sweet to the wrong woman! She's one of the mar rying kind, too, by George! Just thought to turn on my hashlight in time She'd have had me, sure. It was a darn close shave
 The Staten islander. who is a con frmed old bachelor, shivered per ceptibly, although the night was not at all cold.
 As they moved over the ice the Staten islander from time to time flashed his light on the wooded edge of the bank; especially, 1t seemed to the Manhattanite, GAd he seek out se- cluded little corners and indentatiOns of the shore line with it's revealing torch
 More. than once the flash illuminated couple of figures clasped in warm embrace and on these. occasions the Staten islander chuckIed delightedly.
 But apparently the diversion of ex- posing loves young dream was not equally popular with all the patrons of the lake. As they reached the shore after a couple of rounds they encountered 8 young couple lettering on the bank. It seemed to the Man hattanite that the young woman raised her voice unnecessarily as they passed.
 "T used to think" she said, in clear, far-reaching accents, that the mean est man on earth was the one who worked the flashlights on the Albany night line.
 But now know there are even meaner people in the world-especial- ly one old dOdO who noses around this lake with a hashlight."
