new position with the Philway Man

trolled machine which has replaced
three other pieces of equipment and
is turning out concrete products at a
new record rate.
The grain dryer being erected at
the foot of the new elevators has
a drying capacity of from 800
to $50 bushels of grain per hour,
nearly two times as fast as another
dryer installed several years ago.
Eldon Tschiegg, general manager
of the grain company, said that the
new equipment win soon pay for it
self and add income to the farm
pocketbooks. He explained that the
drying capacity will enable the COM
pany to require less dockage for wet
grain thus saving the farmer money.
1t will also save some crops which
might be total losses to local farmers
if a new market for wet grain were
not provided.
The new automatic machinery at
the cement block plant makes con-
crete tile, brickcrete and other pro-
ducts as well as conventional blocks.
Completely automatic, it forms per-
feet blocks at speeds up to six per
minute.
So revolutionary to the local busi-
ness is the new machine that it pro-
duces as many blocks now in one
hour as the plants equipment could
turn out in an entire day back in
1916.
Arrangements are being made for
the Bluffton Business Mems associ-
alton to hold its meeting at the con-
crete block plant soon to view the
machine in operation.

PLENTY OF SMOKE
SEEN ON PLAINS OF N. C.

There's not only "Smoke on the
Mountain" There's plenty of it on
the Coastal Plain these days, ac-
cording to Jim Anderson, State
College extension forestry special
list.
The smoke Anderson refers to
is in North Cardinals precious
woodland - some of which is go
ing up in blaze every day. Much
of this waste is caused by farmers
who have the mistaken notion that
it's god idea to burn-off fields
of tobacco, corn, or cotton stalks.
It's pretty costly way to clear
a field. The farmer who does this
not only stands chance of ruin
ing his and his neighbours woods,
he loses the equivalent of one-half
ton of complete fertilizer for every
acre of stalks he burns, Anderson
emphasizes.
The boil weevil won't be wiped
out by the burning. But there's a
god chance you woods might be!
