WOMANLYNCHED BY
 MOB IN CAROLINA
NegreSs and Two Negroes Shot
 to Death at Aiken, s. C.
ALL THREE WERE ON TRIAL

Onoo Convicted of Murder But
 Granted New Trial by Supreme
 Court - One Already Was Freed
 of Guilt by Presiding Judge.
 Aiken, s. C., Oct. 8 P>-A mob early today stormed the Aiken jail, seized three negroes. one of them a woman, and shot them to death in a pine thicket just beyond the city limits.
 Were On Trial.
 The negroes lynched were Clar- ence and Demon bowman and the latter's sister, Bertha bowman. They were on trial a second time for mur- der in connection with the death of Sheriff H. H. Howard of Aiken coun- ty, who was shot to death April 25. 1925. when accompanied by several deputies he went to raid the home of Sam bowman, father Of Demon and Bertha bowman and uncle Of Clarence bowman. On their first trial the negroes were convicted. but a new trial was granted by the state supreme court. This trial began early this week.
 Yesterday special Judge S. T, Lam ham. presiding, directed a verdict of mot guilty for Demon bowman, on the charge Of conspiracy to murder.
 Mob Raids Jail.
 The mob broke into the Jail about o'clock this morning. Overpowered Rupert Taylor, jailer, and Sheriff Nollie Robinson, and spirited the negroes away in an automobile. Their bodies were found several hours later in the thicket. about a quarter of q mile from town. Each had been shot several times.
 The taller said all electric light wires to the jail were cut and he was called 10 the door by the men. A de- mand was made for the prisoners. He refused 10 accede and had Sheriff Robinson called by telephone. The sheriff arrived while the mob sur rounded the jail and was overpower- ed, the officer said.
 In the meantime some members Of the mob entered the jail through Q window in a part of the building used as the jailer's residence and succeeded in obtaining the prisoners.
 Sheriff Robinson said he followed the mob but was outdistanced be- cause he was driving . small auto while the lynchers were in fast CT cars He turned back near the city limits.
 Although Demon bowman was ac- quilted on the conspiracy charge he was rearrcsted yesterday on a war rant charging assault and battery with intent to kill. and was being held on that warrant.
 The two men were sentenced to death at their first trial and the woman was given a life sentence.
 Mob is Not Identified
 Estimates of the number of men in the mob varied widely. The cut ting of the electric light wires left the jail and the whole town in dark ness. making it impossible. according to officers, to identify members of the mob.
 Sheriff Robinson was one of the officers who as a deputy accom- panied Sheriff Howard on the liquor raid on the Lowmau home. One of the contentious of the defendants at the first trial was that they were not aware that the raiders were of fcers. Annie bowman, the mother of Demon and Bertha, was shot and

Sheep Carried All
Summer on Pasture
Use of Forage Crops Is Prac-
teal Feed Plan.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Use of forage crops for pasturing
sheep in summer is practical means
of feeding them, according to the re-
suits of experiments conducted by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture on its experiment farm at Belts
vile, Md. Observations were made
not only of the gains in weight but
also of the general condition of the
animals, including resistance to dis
ease and parasites.
The crops used in this system of
pastures In the order of use were as
follows Fall-sown rye, wheat, win
ter barley, oats, and Canada field peas,
soy beans, corn and velvet beans, fall
sown winter barley, and winter wheat.
It was shown that sheep can be
raised successfully by using such
crops as cowpeas, soy beans, and like
plants to provide the entire summer
pasturage. The method was beneficial
also in the control of stomach worms
and other internal parasites. BY the
method lambs can be grown to mar
ket weights without being visibly af-
fected by parasite infestatiOR. A fire.
quent rotation of pasture made pos
sible by this system is beneficial, but
not entirely adequate, in controlling
parasites of sheep carried on the farm
throughout the year.

How to Fail in Dairying
Told by Iowa Specialist

A sure way to avoid having lot
of milking to do is to follow the sug-
gestions offered below. according to
Burt Okerkirk, dairy production ex-
tension specialist, Iowa State college.
Keep the milking cows in the corn
stalks to dry them up before winter
It is difficulty to milk by lantern light.
Feed timothy hay. straw or corn
stalks because these are low in pro-
tein, a muscle builder-the cows can
be handled easier.
Don't use balanced rations.
Don't use a silo-silage stimulates
production.
Have pitchfork ready at all times
to teach cows their places. Always
pet them with milk stool.
Keep 30 cows that produce $50
pounds of fat each rather than 10 that
average 300 pounds of fat
Keep scrub bull or COW freshener.

Son of Proven Sire Is
Fit to Head Dairy Herd

Very painstaking investigations at
the Missouri experiment station dem
onstrate the Importance of selecting
bulls from sires having high-produc-
ing daughters The conclusion Is
reached that a son of proven sire
and out of large record dam is the
best sire If you cannot obtain proven
sire.
Many breeders at the present time
are placing considerable emphasis on
the production of the dam in selecting
young bulls. The Missouri investiga-
ton demonstrated that the dams rec

to her ability to produce high-pro-
ducing sons. The investigation was
under the direction of A. G. Ragsdale,
head of the department of dairy hus-

Save Chicken Manure

Chicken manure is one Of the most
valuable fertilizers produced on the
farm. 1t is especially rich in nitro
gen. and since this is one of the es-
sential elements that plants must
have for growth, 1t should be saved.
The practice Of most farmers to
have no dropping boards under the
roosts is wastefuI With a properly
constructed dropping board one may
scrape or rake off the manure into an
old tub or bucket. and load it onto
the wagon in few minutes.

Maximum Production of
the Average Dairy Cow

The average dairy COW reaches her
maximum production at the age of
five years. The amount of milk pro-
duced at the fourth lactatiOn period,
or when the cow is five years old, is
about one and one-half times more
than that produced during the first
lactation period as two-year- old.
Milk flow will not diminish until the
COW has reached old age, which is
usually considered ten years. How
ever, one should consider COW eight
years old or over as aged A seven
year-old cow is not considered old, and
providing she is profitable producer
she should not be butchered.
The average cow will probably start
to lose her teeth at the age of eight
years; however, again this is a con-
sideration that cannot be given def
mite answer owing to the fact that
the individuality of each animal must
enter into the consideration.
In determining whether COW is a
good milk animal or not one should
not base their conclusion entirely
upon the amount of milk produced
when the animal first freshens. The
profitable COW is the longtime pro-

Sweet Clover Is
Leading Legumes
Crop Is Entitled to Position
in Front Rank as Soil
Improver.

Chemical Investigations which are
being made on different legume plants
by the college of agriculture, Univer-
sity of Illinois, indicate that common
biennial sweet clover is entitled to
the position which it has held among
the front rank legumes for soil inn
provement, according to r. Il. DeTurk,
chief of soil technology.
Alfalfa is crop of great promise
as combination feed and soil Inn
provement crop, but it is not so well
adapted to direct use for green ma
nure as is sweet clover Red clover,
which has enjoyed more than half
century of recognition as an old stand
by, is gradually giving way to alfalfa
and sweet clover, in part, at least, be-
cause of the uncertainty of securing
satisfactory stands. Dalea, a compar-
atively new crop, offers but little
promise, while Korean lespedeza,
which is just making it's debut, bids
fair to be satisfactory acid land
crop in the south half of the state,
where lining is either pending or in
localities where lining is impracti-
cable.
Soil improving Crops.
While certain nonlegume plants
have value as soil improvers, through
the addition of organic matter and
the conversion of insoluble mineral
elements into more readily available
forms, the most important soil Inn
proving crops will always be restrict
ed to the legume family, because of
the added advantage of these plants
in fixation of atmospheric nitrogen.
Growing crops and bacteria, like hui
man beings, are prone to save energy.
Energy is required in the fixation of
atmospheric nitrogen. Consequently,
both legume crops, even though well
inoculated, and their nodule bacteria
as well, will absorb and utilize nitrate
nitrogen from the soil when 1t is pres
ent, in preference to working harder
for the air supply Thus soils that
are already well supplied with avail
able nitrogen do not benefit as much
from the growing of legumes as do
poorer soils which are more greatly In
need of building up.
Most Desirable Leeumes.
The most desirable soil-building leg
umes are all acid-sensitive crops, so
that on acid land their use is con-
ditiOned upon the use of limestone.
Some areas of acid land in Illinois are
so inaccessible to Timing facilities as
to make the problem of soil improve
ment by means of limestone and leg
umes a serious one. 1t is probable
that acid land so situated could be
managed to the best advantage by
either devoting it to forestry or other
special uses or else building it up by
the use Of limestone and the proper
use of Iegumes. 1t is questionable
whether such land can ever be main
tanned permanently profitable under
general farming in which the cropping
system is restricted to acid land crops
There is not enough evidence upon
which one can make dogmatic state
ments in this regard. However, 1t Is
unquestionable that the production
which can be maintained permanently
under such conditions is at marked
ly lower level than where the acid con-
dition of the soil is corrected.
