IW | ADVANCE PER ANNUM. ? CAMDEN, KERSHAW C& - 1 ipboUTH CAROLINA, DEC. 7, 1932 , CBLA8. W. B1RCHMORB, PROP NO. S The 6 acre com improvement dem onstration conducted this year by Mr. George P. Watts in cooperation with Clemson Extension Service deserve? the consideration of farmers all ovei Kershaw County. This particulai demonstration is selected because of several reasons. 1st. it has been con ducted on a very practical and con servative basis; 2nd., the results art absolutely correct; and 3rd., the costs connected with producing this corn are all considered. The corn planted is Douthic Prolif ic. It was planted in the furrow 01 May 14 to 27. In preparing the land $4 is charged for man labor and $4.6C for mule labor; for making seed bedi $2 is charged for man labor and $3.2E for mule labor; for planting, $2 ij charged for man labor, 75 cents foi mule labor and $3.10 for seed corn ' Eight cultivations were given dur'mj. June and July costing $4 for man la bor and $2.80 for mule labor. N> fertilizer was UBed under this con but 200 lbs. per acre of nitrate o? soda was used as a side dressing ir. July with man labor for applying at $1.20 and the soda costing $23.80. The most important feature of this corn project is the fact that this corn followed Austrian peas which were groWn on the land preceding winter plowed under ahead of corn $1 is charged for hauling fertilizer to the vesting 5 acres of corn.- The total cost, for production is $67.80. 180 ' shucked ears of corn were required to make a 70 lb. bushel. There was an average of 680 acres of corn counted on 6 hundred feet of row. 840 stalks of corn were counted on the average BOO ft. row. The aver age width of com rows is 60 inches. The yreight of shelled com from 70 lbB. bushel after 80 days drying is B6 , lbs. Total number of bushels of corn ' on the 6 acres is 268.60 bushels. Total value of corn at 60 cents poi* bushel if $161.10. Deducting the $67.80 cost a total profit of $98.80 is shown on C acios. 21 cents is the cost per bu. and 30 cents is the profit per bu. Austrian peas have been turned under for two consecutive years on this com plot. This demonstration and the results f)ho *n here are especially significant when it is considered that the land if sandy upland type. Also of specia significant is that the fact that tht drought did not affect- this corn croj as badly as most others in the county This is accounted for by the large a mount of fumus having been put in the soil by the two crops of Austrian peas Which were turned under.

Sharing Opinion* Opinions Is a species of property that X am always desirous of sharing | with tof friends. Charles Lamb. The following Associated Press dis patches say: Washington, Dec. 5. ? The South Carolina congressional delegation split on the vote on the Garner pro hibition repeal resolution today. Only four of the seven representa tives supported the resolution: Mc Millan, Casque, Fulmer and McSwain. Representatives Dominick and Hare opposed the resolution. Neither will be in the next congress. Dominick was defeated in the recent primary and Hare has retired. Representative Stevenson, another "lame duck", did not vote today. Washington, Dec. 5. ? A bold and unprecedented attempt by the Dem ocratic leadership to force its. party's outright prohibition repeal proposal through the house failed today and dimmed prospects of further action on the issue in that branch during the remainder of the short session. The action was interpreted on Cap itol hill as foreshadowing a special session of the r.ew congress next, spring soon after President-elect Roosevelt was inaugurated so that the Democrats might carry out their pledge for flat repeal. Despite the defeat of the resolution by the narrow margin of 272 to 144 ? two-thirds majority being required for adoption ? the Democrats planned Immediate attack on the problem of modifying the Volstead law. Speaker Gamer hopes a beer bill will be ready for action before the Christmas holidays.
