It is the purpose of the organizers to have the boys take with them the usual camping outfit, together with a mosquito net. Tents will be provided and a cook will be along to do the cooking. There will be strict regu lations as to when they shall, go in bathing, when they shall retire at night and get up in ihe mornings; in fact, the camp will be operated ac cording to strict military rules. Boats will be provided on the river and ropes will be stretched across for the convenience and pleasure of the boys. It is proposed to keep the camp open until about June 15th. Written permission for the use of the grounds has been secured, and no boy will be allowed to go unless he has permission in writing from his parents. The age limit, as stated above, will be 10 years and over. Now, as to the cost: Col. Calhoun and Mr. Robison request that each boy save up at least $4 for this two weeks’ trip, which will be only $2 per week. The l>alance of the expenses will be secured by popular subscrip tion. M The girla uf the high school will visit the camp twice a week in the afternoons. The boys will serve them u fish supper which they will catch out of the famous Edisto.* Parents of the boys will, of course, visit the camp during their stay there.

State highway authorities are en deavoring to work up a Strong law enforcement plan in Barnwell and the other counties of the State and there by check up on the automobile owners who are so far evading the automo- ile license laws. If some form of i News From Rosemary. aw enforcement organization can be gotten together in the counties much revenue will t be the result highway officials believe. Under the terms of the appropria tion bill of the last legislature, no provision is made for enforcing the law. The legislature cut off the two inspectors of the department who probably cost around $4,000 a year and by this action the counties and the State together may lose over $75,- 000, highway officials estimate. The motor vehicle registration to date is far below what it should be and this indicates that a large num ber bf automobiles and other motor vehicles are being run with old li censes or without licenses. L. H. Thomas, secretary of > the state highway commission, is writing to the various counties and hopes to gat them interested enough to en force the license laws a* the revenue is largely returned to the counties from which it is collected. Some counties are distressingly behind in the matter of motor vehicle registra t : on and will lose a lot of “iron men’ if something is not done. The high way department will probably be able to employ expert inspectors to visit the counties and check up the Taw vio lator* in case the counties are will ing to pay the expense*, but this de partment ha* no fund* for the work this year.

Below 1' shall attempt to give a few suggestion* that, beetled to, will be of some benefit to the farmers at this time: The moat important matter before the farmer at this time is the one of joining the South Carolina Cotton Grower* Cooperative Marketing As sociation.

Ask your hanker what he think* of the orggnlnttlrm, an.! make your decision based on what he tell* you. Now is the time to plant the cotton that you arc intending to plan. Do not plant more than eight acres to the plow. Close spacing will generally l»e found to l>e a great advantage.

ROW is the time for you to make plans tor yOUr arsenate and machin ery. , Within the next week or ten days the first spring spray should be ap plied to the young peaches. The exact time is when about half of the shucks at the base of the peach are slipping fr5m the young peach. The following solution should be used. 1 pound of arsenate of lead, 2 pounds of fresh unslacked lime to 50 gallons of water. This operation should be repeated in two weeks, adding to the above 50 three and one fourth quarts of^trne commercial lime sulphur. 'Solution. Allendale.
