The Journal is publishing thd
list of contributors in the town
ship to the Red Cross, not to
show how much more one gave
than another, but to show how
liberally all gave. The fact that
one gave less in dollars than
another is no reflection upon
him. The widow gave her
mite, and it was more than all
the others. The gift is judged
by the spirit in which it is given
and not in dollars. A dollar
from one is more than fifty from
another. The Journal is very
proud of the noble spirit manifested
throughout the township
in this great work, and desires to
commend one and all for their
efforts and their contributions.
No section of this great countrv
has contributed more liberally.

The gardens have been furnishing
lots of vegetables for
the table for some time, and our
people are in danger of forgetting
to save and prepare for the
coming winter. We thought
prices were high last winter and
spring. But unless the people
prepare now while they mav for
the winter months there will be
actual want in our land, to say
nothing of the starvation that
will be the fate of millions in
other lands. Not a pound of
foodstuffs that can be saved or
consumed should be allowed to
go to waste this summer. Can
everything in sight and then
look for more to can. You can
get the cans at Pageland now.
In addition to the supply of
glass jars in the stores, ftlteen
thousand tin cans have been
bought bv the Bank of Pageland
to be sold to tlip npfinlo at rr?ct
cash or credit. There is no
reason why you should not can
all you can can.
Prepare for Food Shortage and
Higher Prices
Mr. Editor:
, What has become of our
movement to increase food pro
duction? It appears to us that
more attention is being given to
food production than to food
conservation. That old disposition

present need is supplied is cropping
out again. Garden vegetables
are plentiful, but how
many are being canned? Some
canning is going on, but not
enough. The fact that cabbage
are selling at two cents per
pound is no indication that canned
kraut will not be worth 15
or 20 cents next winter. The
potato crop is good, but I doubt
if sufficient care will be taken to
see that they do not rot.
The great trouble with us is
that we do not realize how great
has been the increase in cost of
production, nor do we realize
that the potash in our soils is
being exhausted, We may be
blessed with a fairly good crop
this year, but the indications are
that we stand a poor show next
year. Already fertilizers have
advanced ten to twenty dollars
per ton since planting time,
this tco, at a time of year when
we are accustomed to witness a
reduction. At this rate the price
will be almost prohibitive by
spring, and in all probability
there will not be a credit price
quoted.
The high prices this spring
were largely due to speculation,
but the prospect of food control
by the government has brought
down the level of prices. So
long as high prices are the result
of speculation we have not
much to fear, for we all try to
play this game; but when actual
shortage and want stare us in
the face we will then see high
prices, such as we have not im
agined possible.

Stuff you needn't read unless you

Last winter while Mr. R. F.
Smith was on police force here a
negro boy, Jones, was
chase out of town for carrying
a pistol and handling it too
carelessly. He escaped and had
not been seen here since. Sunday
night Mr. Smith met him in
the road near the State line. He

had warrant for him, (but he
didn't have) Befoie he could get
started to running, however, the
boy was out of sight.
A prominent lady who lives a
few miles from Pageland was
frightened bv a negro with two
guns standing in the woods near
the field where she was at work
a few days ago. The men went
and looked for the negro but
failed to find any trace of him.
A neighbor told about it in the
presence of a small bov, stated
that probably it was imagination.
The bov in turn told about it at
the dinner table that day, and
said that Mr. said it may
have been speculation.
Julius Evans was back in the
office yesterday, and stated that
he had disposed of his grass
plants and had orders from B. C.
Ogburn and C. M. Peninger that
he couldn't fill. He stated that
Henry Nicholson could probably
supply those who want plants
now. Evans says he has another
lot coming on which he
hopes to offer cheaper, as they
will not make so well because
the season is getting late.
Sorry, But We Can't Go This Time
The Jeffersonian of Jefferson
has the following to sav:
"The South Carolina Press
Associattion will convene at
our former seven year resi
dence Reaufort. S. C. If we
didn't have to stick and distrib

print with an old hand press,
(about 200 years old) mail papers

to get there. But we make a
motion to allow Gary Hiott.

Cured His Rheumatism
Mr. A. G. Anderson tells
about how Mr. Jim Steen, who
lived down Black creek near
the old Hough mill, was cured
of rheumatism. He had suffered
much for months, and one
leg was drawn so that it was
impossible to straighten it. He
walked on a crutch and a stick,
and didn't attempt to put one j
foot to the ground. On the
night of the Charleston earth
quake in 1886 he forgot his
rheumatism, and in his haste to
get over to a neighbor's house,
he jumped, "seven tater rows
at a jump," in the language of
old Dr. Waddell, who happened
iu ue eoing 10 tne same place.
After the earth tremors had subsided,
thev began to look about
them and saw that they were
still on earth and that Mr Steen's
rheumatism was gone. After
that he was troubled no more,
a permanent cure having been
wrought by the scare.
Medical men say such things
are possible, that the affected
parts relax as a result of the
sudden movements and the circulation
is restored. Nearly
everv one has heard of somebody
who \yti3 cured by fright.
LIME GOOD FOR VEGETABLES
Particularly Beneficial to Beets, Canteloupes,
Cucumbers, Cabbage
ar.d Cauliflower.
Recently there was developed a new
Interest in the nse of lime. Our soils
have become more sour than they
were when our ancestors used lime,
because we have been using commercial
fertilizers, which have, as a rule,
a very souring effect. The most natural
question to follow Is: "To what
vegetable crop should I apply lime for
the greatest net returns?"
Recent Investigations show that the
crops most benefited are such as beetd.
cantaloupes, celery, cucumbers, onions,
lettuce, spinach, cabbage and cauliflower.
Many others are helped some,
while some few may be injured. One
Df the gree/est benotits from the use
of lime Is Its wonderful benefit to the
Boll Improvement crops such as clovers,
soy beans, vetch and grain cover
crops.
The truck farmers and market gardeners
throughout New Jersey are
buying more lime than usual, according
to the New Jersey State Agricultural
college. The application of lime
Is very beneficial to many marketable
crops, but one of its great values le
realized In an Indirect way, namely,
from the Increased growth obtained In
the clover crop, especially in the case
of legumes. Furthermore, lime Increases
the organic activity of the soil,
and makes available much plant food
which the roots otherwise wonld not
be able to obtain. Loose soil is made
more adhesive, and sticky soil Is loosened
up. In short, lime Is an excellent
foil conditioner.
REMEDY FOR STOMACH WORM
Drench of Copper Sulphate Has Beer
Found Most Satisfactory by Ohio
Experiment Station.
Sheepmen having flocks Infested
with stomach worms and tapewormf
may free the animals of such pests bs
treatment before turning out tc
spring pasture. For this purpose a
drench of copper sulphate has beer
found most satisfactory In the flocks
of the Ohio experiment station.
Two fluid ounces of a solution made
by dissolving an ounce of copper sul
phate (blue vitriol) In two quarts ol
water is sufficient for a yearling, anc
a two-year-old sheep needs three
fluid ounces. A long-necked bottle 01
a rubber tube and funnel may be usee
to give the dose. Most effective re
suits follow when the sheep are fastec
for a day both before and after treat
ment. Water should not be given foi
a few hours preceding and followinf
the dosing.
Digestive disturbances, poor appe
tite, loss of flesh and general weak
ness Indicate the presence of worms
Lambs are most seriously nfTected, tin
experts say. Ridding the sheep o:
worms in the spring will result li
fewer losses in the lamb crop.

Few people realize that spinach see
can be planted during the first part o
March. The ground should be pre

harrowing. At the time mentiene*
the spinach seed Is broadcasted ove

of the Thick Leaf variety to the acre
