Cannon, agricultural agent for Laurens county for 28 years, was guest speaker at the meeting of the Lions club Friday evening at Hotel Mary Musgrove. Mr. Cannon, who was honored last year by a county wide dinner given by his friends upon the 25th anni versary of service in the county, re view the progress made by agricul ture in the county during this quar ter century. Taking the various crops, one by one, he showed the increase in yield due to better land use, proper ferti lization, and better seed. Cotton, while giving way in acre age planted to other crops, yield per acre has been greatly increased. At its high point of production in the county, 67,000 bales were produced in one year back in 1930’s. The less said about peaches, the better, Mr. Cannon said, referring to the disheartening efforts of county growers, due to freezes wiping out the crop, and low prices when the yield was good. Mr. Cannon seemed to be proudest of the development of pastures and cattle in the county in recent years. There are 75 herds of good cattle now in the county, he s aid, 35 of them being pure-bred breeding stock. Pastures in the county, he said have developed in 25 years from little more than briar patches fenced in to green fields that have won national commendation, being seen by delegations of business men and farmers from far-away states. Cattle breeders right here in the Clinton area, he said, have herds equal to the best in the whole Southeast. All along on the farm front, Lau rens county farmers are moving ahead, he said, keeping abreast of the best practices recommended by Clemson college and the extension on a passed ball and was awarded third on a balk. James Scoggins then walked and stole second. Bob by WomaPk Slug led to centerfield to bring Colville home. The Florid'a pitcher got two sin gles in three times at bat and was the only Pensacola player to get more than one safety. He also tied a Marietta ball park record of striking out 15 men. The U. S.

NEWS—SHORTS. 9c and 35c Why deprive yourself of those good things to eat? . . . Why starve yourself with the hope of curing dia betes? Medical science has failed to cure diabetes with medicine. Diets have merely helped to retard its ag gravation. Neither have touched up on the basic cause of the disease. The basic cause of diabetes is the improper function of certain organs such as the pancreas, which trans forms the "sugars" into useable ma terials for proper assimilation by the body. As the transformation process ceases, a diabetic condition develops. Restoring to normal function these vital organs, which perform this im portant work, will bring about a cor rection of the diabetic condition. This is accomplished by releasing the vital nerve-energy from the brain to these organs, giving them HEALING, DRIVING POWER to ward restored health! Dr. C. J. Hart has developed un usual skill in releasing this vital nerve energy through the nervous system to the affected organs, which has resulted in restoring diabetic sufferers to normal health. Don’t continue to suffer! Consult Dr. Hart at once. DR. CHARLCS J. HART — Chiropractor — 254 West Main Street Laurens, S. C. Dollar Day Specials!
