alumnae Reunions at Winthrop
College.
The college folk at Winthrop are
joking forward with joy to the home
oming of numbers of Winthrop's
aughters during commencement.
Jvery former Winthrop student and
:iaduate is urged to come back to
is on this occasion. Eight classes are
lanning reunions: '87, '88, '89, '97,
35, '06, '07,,'08. Three of these class
s graduated in Columbia. Members
.f these classes will be delighted to
sam that Miss Fannie McCants, a
jved and honored teacher in Win
hrop while it was in Columbia, will
e at the college for these reunions.
An alumnae breakfast will be serv
d at nine o'clock Tuesday morning,
une 6, in the Students' Building. A
?ominal charge of fifty cents per
late will be made. Every Winthrop
aughter who expects to be present
; requested to write Miss Leila A.
tussell at once to reserve a room in

The Poultry Industry.
The attention of those farmers who
ave always maintained that raising
hickens was a woman's job and not
f sufficient importance to claim even
small part of their time, is called
o the following figures. In 1921, ac
ording to the Census Bureau, the
loultry industry of the United States
/as valued at $943,000,000. This is
lot an insignificant sum by any
leans, for divided up among the
arms of .the United States it would
riean $146 per farm. Inasmuch as
here are many thousands of farms
without poultry of any kind and
nany more with a few scrubs that
eceive no attention, it can be seen
hat those who have kept a flock of
?rell bred birds and have given them
, fair amount of care, have divided
tiost of the $943,000,000 between
hemselves.
Poultry should be a sideline on ev-'
ry farm. Perhaps-the ladies are the
aost successful managers,, but the
len should take enough interest to
irovide the necessary facilities and
['k .
lend a hand in the heavy work. Poul
try raising may be a woman's job,
but it has kept many a man from go
ing hungry when his crops failed.
Farm and Ranch.
IR. A. Cooper Begins Duties on
Board.
Washington, May 22.-Former
Gov. Robert A. Cooper of South Car
olina was sworn in as a member of
the federal farm loan board this
morning.
A distinguished company witness
ed tlie simple ceremony. In addition
to Andrew W. Mellon, secretary of
the treasury, and his numerous as
sistants ,the following were present:
Mrs. Cooper, Senator and Mrs. N. B.
Dial, W. P. G. Harding, governor of
the federal reserve board;' Eugene
Meyer, Jr., and Angus McLean of the
war finance corporation and Charles
E. Lobdell and W. H. Joyce of th?
federal farm loan board.
As soon as the oath was adminis
tered and Mr. Cooper had been con
gratulated the new official repaired to
his office and began his new career.
Charles S. Barrett, president of the
Farmers' National Union, for publica
tion tomorrow morning, issued a
statement setting forth the variety
of farmer representation the far
mers' organ desired and insisted upon
to serve on boards dealing directly
or indirectly with agriculture.
It was a protest against the kind
of farmer representation which the
administration up to the present?as
acorded. It was an intimation that
all "dirt" farmers were not satisfac
tory, as "dirt" farmers sometimes
farmers only in a side-line signifi
cance. While the statement had no di
rect, bearing on the appointment of
Mr. Cooper, it was regarded as sig
nificant that it was released for pub
lication just after Mr. Cooper had un
dertaken his new duties.
Mr. Barrett, it is said, desired the
berth to fill which the president nam
ed Mr. Cooper. His friends advocated
his appointment and it was published
that he stood an excellent chance of
landing the job. The president, in
I nominating Mr. Copper, gave as one
reason for the selection the factthat
in addition to other professions, Mr.
Cooper was a "dirt" farmer..
