RYE TO GROW INSTEAD
OF COTTON STALKS
Abruzzi
Rye for Winter Foraging
and Cover Crop.
The cotton season is past and the
season for grain is at hand. The fer
tilizer is fast becoming available to
the worthless growth of our cotton
stalks here in Laurens County. As
I travel thru the different sections
of the county I find a number of far
mers plowiiJg up their stalks and
planting grain, as it is grhin season
now and not cotton.
Rye, like other small grains, will*
do best on a well prepared seed bed.
However, good results are. secured
when drilled in cotton or corn ground
without furtlter preparation. »
Heavier seeding should be made
when rye is tb be grated thah when
it is to be used for a grain crop. Fivb'
to six pecks per acne gives better re
sults than lighter seeding.
• When rye is adapted to poor Itud,

it should, in ^he'present emergency, [ winked at a girl in the dark once,
be planted on good land to furnish 1 '
quicker and more grazing. If planted
at once abruzzi rye properly handled
should furnish grazing from about
Dec. 1 to May *1. Grazing during
wet weather on heavy clay soils such
as are most common in the Piedmont
should be avoided to prevent com
pacting the soils.
Abruzzi rye is t’he best variety
to plant in South Carolina, and seed
should be purchased from reliable
seedmen, as there is evidence that
there has been considerable misrepre
sentation of rye seeddn this section of
the country. ,
CALVIN ESKEW
FREED OF CHARGE
Young White Man Found Not Guilty
Of Murder In Court
At Laurens. 7
Laurens,—Oct. 3.—Calvin Eskew,
young white man of the Madden sec
tion 6i the county, was Thursday 1 af
ternoon acquited of murder by *a jury
in general sessions court here. The
youth was charged with having slain
his father, S. H. Eskew, a few months
ago, while the latter was administer
ing punishment to Mrs. Eskew, ac
cording to the testimony of the de
fendant and other members of the
family. The defendant said he tried
to get his father to desist; that he
apparently became more enraged at
his interference and that the son was
forced to shoot. Hie defense was
handled by W. B. Knight of the local
bar. This was the first of five mur
der cases on the docket for the term
that is now being held.
Culling willC^elp: With the pres
ent feed shortage at the door of the
farmers, a number of farmers are
calling on me to cull out their flock
oi chicker*. It is important that he
make every pound of feed pay a max
imum profit, especially when it comes
to poultry. For relief in the present
situation I suggest that everybody cull
their stiens and pyllets closely and
feed the good layers for real egg pro
duction. The sale of the cull hens
and pullets will furnish a little money
to start feeding’ right’ and then eggs
will bring in money this fall and win
ter. —

Why Leave Cotton Exposed To the
Weather?
As I travel from one section of the
County to the other, I see bales of
cottoi) exposed to the weather. Why
is this? If you will recall, people
will paint their houses not only to
make them Jjretty, which is a good
things but to protect them from the
weather. Each daY, you can see
the people looking for shades and
sheds to park their cars under for pro
tection. Most real farmers will keep
their tools painted and under the
shelter while not in use in order to
protect them, and to make them last
Vlonger. We all know the effect of
weathering, even on the rocks, and
yet there are a number of real good
farmers of Laurens county who are
bringing thdlr cotton home from the
gin and throwing it off in the yard
exposed to the fains. Some of the

mother, but that he had •answered the
draft and had been turned down.
The witness said he was not of a
jealous nature.
Porter admitted that he had given
W. B. Leath, assistant treasurer of the
Hannah Pickett mill, a copy of the
“slander letter” written and address
ed to Cole by Ormond with the under
standing that it was to be shown to a
“certain party” who had made re
marks ~ag«inst Cole.
The state charged Leath while he
was on the' witness stand with mak
ing a trip for that purpose an^d at
tempted to obtain from him the admis
sion that Copies of the letter were cir
culated for the purpose of creating
sentiment for Cole. The witness de
nied the charge and Porter testified
today that the charge was untrue.
Testimony for the purpose of cor
roborating other witnesses was intro
duced by the defense and after it had
rested its case the state called other
eye-witnesses to the shooting.

■ i *
And on the very same farms I’ve
seen eftipty sheds in less than 30
yards of this cotton. Now why is it
necessary to protect tools or vehicles
and not bales of cotton. With the
scarcity of feed this time there are
a number of barns or sheds that could
be used for protecting cotton. Yes,
there is danger of the barnq.or sheds
catching on fire, but stilk I see an-
tomobiles stored under them. Oh.
yes, they are insured, most of them.
My friends, if this is the reason why
cotton is\ndt protected I feel sure the
same instance company will injure
cotton. I know that it looks real
good to pass a country home and'see
bales of cotton scattered around, as if
prosperity existed, but still its hard
to realize why a farmer will expose
his cotton to the weather after he has
toiled so hard during the year to pro
duce it. I hope and trust that this
is not self pride that causes him
to do such, as one business man of
Laurens county mentioned to me in
discussing this matter.

he made a break for him. He testified
that he shot Ormond while he was in
the act of going for hig pistol.
Every witness fo^ the state who
sa wthe homicide concur in that Or
mond sat in his car in semi*reclining
position with his back to Cole. Also
in support of this contention the state
called Dr. E. C. BrookSj. president of
the State College of Agriculture and
Engineering, where Ormqfliid worked
last March as an electttrian. Dr.
Brooks testified that Ormond was
hard of hearing and that on one occa
sion he had spoken to him behind his
back and had not been heard.
Clyde Hoey, Shelby, will address
the jury first for the prosecution,
Solicitor F. Don Phillips will close far
the state, with Harry Moore, of New
Bern, ^preceding him.
For the defense, James H. Pou, of
Raleigh, will first address the jury,
Aubrey L. Brooks, of Greensboro, will

lotte, also will speak., *

The Greatest of

Lowest Prices in History
*1195 for the COACH
$1495 for the Brougham — $1695 for the 7-Pass. Sedan
Everywhere Hudson is known as the “World’s Great
est Buy.” That is not alone because of its . selling v
' price. The value is in performance,, endurance and"
low operating cost. Such qualities are outstanding !
N long after the 1 price is forgotten.
Hiidson prices are lowest because th# world’s largest
production of Sixes—-Hudson and Essex—has made .
possible economical methods of manufacture.Through
increase of quality, greater £ales result, and Volume
economies that permit lower prices. There you have
the reason for Hudson’s leadership in tralue, in price,
in sales. . ——-.-t—;
