DIR. zAMPIERE SPEAKS
Urges Washburn Students to Make
Best of Opportunities.

1.-The test of a true Christian is adj
verse experience said DR.. P. s. Fam
pierre in a talk to Washburn students
this morning in chapel. He said every
one should define his life, as Saint
Paul did when he wrote when he was
in Jail: For me to live is Christ"
Too many people, he said, if they had
to define their lives, would find that
they lived for pleasure, for success,
for anything but the real values of
life.
IF the student doesn't define his
life while in college, he is in danger
of being the water-pipe instead of
the water-the wire instead of the
electricity" said Doctor Zampiere.
~What he is here determines what he
will be later on. You have the power
to maxi of yourself leader, if you
only will
Doctor Zampiere spoke in place of
DIR. Edmund j. Kulp. who was to
have been the speaker, but who was

Final Scrimmage Practice for Satur-
days Game To Be Held Tonight
The Topeka high school football
team after a rest of two weeks from
participation in a regular scheduled
game, is being rounded into shape by
Doc" Hurt for the game to be played
with Emporia high school Saturday on
WasAburn field. The toe work of
Cap" Boyd has been showing up ex-
ceptionally well. He has been putting
the ball between the goal posts from
the thirty-five and forty-yard line with
great regularity in scrimmage practice
this week. He is also making several
long DuntS. His kicking will probably
be an important part of Topeka's
game.
Final scrimmage practice before the
game will be held at Southwestern
league park this afternoon with the
Oakland high school football squad.
Signal practice will be held Friday
afternoon on Washburn field All Of
the Topeka players are in good shape
and are ready to play the entire game,
with the exception of Pitzenberger, a
substitute line man who sustained an
injured arm in practice this week
Emporia high school will come to
Topeka, Saturday, with a record of
five victories and no defeats This
team, which appears to be one of the
best in the state this season, will prob
ably give Topeka the stiffest opposi-
fall. Coach Rice E. Brown announced
today that his players Were all in con-
dition for the game.

KEEPING RECORDS
OF THE DAIRY HERD

Clemson College, August.-The
successful business concern keeps
RECORDS of all transactions. 1t is
some times difficult to apply ortho-
dox business methods to many OF
the operations on a farm, but exact
records of breeding, feeding and
production in dairying can be kept
and must be kept if any great sue
cess is to be attained, says 1. R. Jones
Assistant Dairy Husbandman, who
thinks that the actual time required
to keep such records is a small item
when compared with their value to
the dairyman in wedding out and
improving his herd. Such records
enable the breeder to coordinate pro-
duction and type in. selecting young
animals for his future herd, not to
mention their value as an aid in
selling young stock.
The first essential of such records
is that they be simple yet thorough
enough to give any desirable in
They should also be
final, that is, requiring no copying.
The Milk Sheet.-This is a sheet
upon which the record of every milk
ing of a cow is kept. This sheet
may Be for weekly or monthly
periods. The amount Of milk is de-
termined by weighing on a milk
scale graduated in pounds and
Such a scale can be pur-
for about $500. The milk
can be totalled at the end of
each week or month, and from these
the yearly production ascer-
The value of the product
from each cow can be figured from
the price obtained during each month
Of the year.
Feed Record.-The amount of feed
given to each COW should be record
ed. The grain should be weighed at

each feeding and the roughage,
such as silage and corn, occasionally.
From these records and the market
price of the feeds, the cost of each
cows feed is easily determined.
At the end of a years production
the records of each COW should be
entered on a permanent sheet show
ing whether the product exhibits a
profit or loss above feed cost.
Breeding Records.-The most i'm
portant breeding record is that of
service. For this we need a sheet
with place for name of cow, date Of
service, name of bull, date of calving
sex, color, weight and the DISPOSE
tion of calf.

ing, shows that federal prohibition
agents have been active in this state
during the past month.
A total of 43 illicit distilleries and
8 stills have been destroyed, and
298 and 3-8 gallons of spirits have
been poured out. Seven illicit still
worms were rendered useless, and
1890 gallons of mash were des.
troyed. Federal agents also seized

unfit for further use.

mated at $4,000. The total apprais.
ed value of property seized and de-
stroyed was s9,343.75, while the
value Of the property not destroy
ed was estimated at $4,000.
Twenty-eight arrests in connec
ton with violation of prohibition
laws were made by the federal ofic'
ers during July, and 119 prosecu
lions we're carried on. No agents
were injured in performing then
duties.

as good results as a mixed feed that
cost $50 a ton. In the winter the
COWS have velvetbean vines for rough
age and pasture on rye planted in
September.
"This will be a disastrous year
for many farmers in this section who
have no live stock. Our county used
to grow $4,000 bales Of cotton a
year, but the weevil has cut down
the production from year to year
and this fall we will probably get
no more than 10000 bales"

THE BEST BREED OF HOGS

Clemson College. August.-It is
seldom or v that a livestock
meeting is held but that some farm
er has asked, "What is the best
breed of hogs?" In answering this
question there at least three factors
which should be taken into consider
alton, say the swine specialists.
The first consideration is, What
breed do you like best? Personal
preference is one of the important
factors. When a mar has the breed
he likes best he will fell better sat-
isfied.
The second factor is community
preference. The farmer who has no
personal preference should select
the breed which is most popular in
his community. This will help to
make a uniform product, and will
make marketing easier.
The third factor to take into con-
sideration is adaptation to local con
ditions. This can best be :illustrat
ed by calling attention to the white
hog, which is popular in thu North
but suffers skin seal when grown

in the Southern Stats.
Besides these pola.s ,cvc1y:ne
sl.euld bear in mil. thu; here Is
cften a greater difference between
individuals of the Drnr'' than there
is between the breeds. Many heat
ed discussions arise as to the strong
points of the different breeds
It would be more profitable to us
if we would spend that time and
energy in finding out the weak and
strong points of the individuals OF
our herd, so that judicious culling
may be done.

SELECTING oTATo SEED

Clemson College, Aug. 28.-Seed
selected of sweet potatoes is just
as important as that of corn, cotton
or any other crop. You can not ex-
peet good YIELDS of sweet potatoes
from scrub seed any more than you
can expect good yields of milk from
s%crubeows.
Seed selection has two distinct
advantages:
/. 1t increases the yield by max
ing possible a good stand of strong
plants and the Development of
h~igh-yielding strains.
2. 1t reduces the danger from dis
eases, many of which may be effec-
lively controlled by this method.
The horticulturists say'that care
full selection should be practiced IN
the fall at digging time the potatoes
selected being stored in separate
crates and given special care. They
should not be handled or sorted un-
til time for bedding in the spring.
ONLY medium sized,well shaped po-
tatoes free from disease and from
hills producing not less than hVe
marketable tubers should be selec-
, ted. It would produce quicker re-
suits if the standard were set ten 10

TWO GOOD COWS $50
MORE INCOME A MONTH

When you hear a farmer in a cot
ton and tobacco country say that the
velvet bean is the greatest crop fol
that section, you may make up you,
mind that an important change /:
taking place in the agriculture of the
region. The man who placed the
velvet bean above the old standby:
is P. M. Pitts, a farmer of Sumte,
County, and the change is being
brought about by the dairy cow. M,
Pitts is SO we'll pleased with the re-
suits of a few years of dairying thai
he says, 81 should like to see two
good COWS on every one-horse farm
in Sumter County. 1t would mean
$50 a month additional income tt
farm and the feed used in
making the milk would hardly be
missed. There is many a man who
would be happy to have that income
and since the ticks are gone it j:
easily possible to get it.
"a farmer with a few cows will
need to buy very little feed. The
grain ration I am using is made W
of 200 pounds Of velvet beans ground
in the pod, 200 pounds of corn ane

CORN SMUT.

Clemson College. Aug. 10--Corn
smut, which is beginning to make
it's appearance in this years crop.
is characterized by various sized
swellings on almost any part
of the plant above ground. At first
these are white but later they
turn. black, and still later they be-
come dry and burst open. The In
terror is then filled with a dark
brown or black powder, composed
of the spores Of the fungus. The
damage is usually comparatively
small as compared with some other
sources of loss, but it is serious be
cause it always occurs
No satisfactory control measure
is yet known. 1t is sometimes advis-
ed that. the spore masses be destroy
cd, but this measure is not apt to
be very successful unless It be made
a community practice over a con-
siderable area and he persisted in
for some years since the fungus
can maintain itself in the soil and
in debris for a good while; just how
long is not known. The Bureau Nof
Plant Industry of the U. 8. Depart
ment of Agriculture is working on
the problem Of control, and there
are hopes that the Investigation
will solve the problem.
Corn smut does not seen to- be
poisonous to livestock. In fact a.
foodpossible utilization of It %
human food has been suggested.
DR.. F. 1. Stevens Of the University
of Illinois a national authority on
plant diseases, has tested it out
and reported it delicious. The smut
