COTTON |HAHVESTING AND GINNING The Cotton Committee of Clemson has gotten out the fol lowing harvesting and ginning guide: ^... To farmers:, 1. Defoliate rank cotton before picking. 2. Pick cotton promptly after bolls open. 3. Keep trash and grass out of cotton in picking, handling, and storage. 4. Spread out damp or green cotton to dry before storage or ginning. 5. Make standard weight bales of 450 to 550 pounds. 6. Have cotton classed before marketing. To ginners: 1. Maintain uniformly loose rolls. 2. Keep overflow to minimum. 3. Use only necessary cleaning equipment. 4. Use only enough drying to insure smooth ginning. 5. PLANNING, MAINTEN ANCE, and REPAIR are BASIC to EFFICIENT OPERATION. * • * STRAWBERRIES I know several folks with siz able patches of strawberries. All do well with them. There is room for more of these in all parts of the state. The strawberry is such a perishable thing that the closer you are to them the better they are. While with County Agent Johnston of Horry, where they grow some berries commercially, we visited a leading grower. That man does just about everything right and does well with berries. He had accurate ideas about costs and yields. Here’s'the way he broke them down on a per acre basis: 8,000 plants $80. 9 bags of fertilizer $25.25, 50 pounds dust $12, straw for mulch $25, and la bor (not harvesting) $100. That makes the total cost the first year $225.25. His yield is about 200 crates per acre forj wihch he averages about $7.25. From this is deduct ed $3.25 a crate (24 quarts each) for crate, tills, picking and pack ing costs. Thus from his $1,450 income is deducted $905.25 production, har vesting and packing expense, leaving a net profit of $544.75 per acre. This man uses about 8 geese per acre to keep his berries clean of grass after the harvest is fin ished in May. And he irrigates them as needed. I’m one who agrees with the fellow who said he didn’t doubt but that the Lord could have made a better berry than the strawberry but He never did. * * * HOEING WITH AXE When County Agent King of Marion and I visited P. T. Mace he told us of having hoed a lot of pine trees with an axe. We told him we’d like to see that. They were small pines he had set out the year before. He had cut all of the competing hardwood saplings and sprouts from around them so they could get light and have a chance to grow. And they were growing well, too. He felt they would be able to take care of the situation once they got their heads well above the hardwood sprouts. r Home, Sweet Home’ You’ll sing for joy when you find how easy it is to get that home of your own on our monthly* payment loan plan.

This is truly a tree country and it is good to see folks at long last giving them a hand. v Not only individuals and com panies are planting pines for the future .but our forester, Bill Barker, tells me of churches and schools, through 4-H and FFA, plantng trees both as an object lesson and for future revenue. I understand orders are already being placed with our state for estry service for pine tree seed lings for setting but the coming winter. * * * LAST CALL Farm and Home Week at Clem son August 13-17. * t • BOYS ARE THAT WAY Fly with me back in boyhood’s fancy to where we left off at the old country store last week. The stock wasn't too varied Just the essentials for at home living. A little fat back was car ried for the improvident. But it was the boast of the most re spected Dutch Forkers that they “never bought a pound of meat nor sack of flour’’ in their lives. Our store carried the bare es sentials. Bolts of calico and rolls of heavy jeans cloth were even there. So were brogan shoes, with no strings, but a buckle in front. They weren’t much as to sizes. You’d put on a new sock and try until you found a pair that felt like you might break it in. Thep "breaking” those bro gans wa^ an ordeal. They’d rub and hurt your foot somewhere, until you got ’em broke in. And then they wore good Their un yielding soles, like heavy combat boots, protected your foot well. Those brogans wbre of rough unfinished leather that wasn't supposed to take a shine. You’d oil or grease them-with warm tal low occasionally. That made ’em water proof. They did not buckle tight around the ankle like a modern shoe laces there That leather was too ^stiff for that, and they stood 'SfS'n around your leg so the slight bending from your ankle wouldn’t scrape on that rigid leather. Once I was standing near the fire. A red hot coal popped out and fell right in there. That was the quickest I ever unlatched and pulled off a shoe. Talkng about “breaking" those brogans. That was as necessary as breaking a horse to work And I always dreaded it. My brother was blder, but my feet were just as big. His seemed to- be tough or something. He didn’t mind breaking in a new pair of . bro gans. So he usually broke mine in for me. Then I enjoyed wearin' ’em. I got on brogans and clear away from the old country store I was telling you abdut. We ll get back there next week. IT S TIME TO CHECK YOUR PRINTINO NEEDS Al>out this time of the year we have many calls for rush printing orders.

WHAT WILL CHIROPRAC TIC DO FOR NERVOUSNESS? ;,The brain is like any other or- ; gan in the body. It is depend ent for normal function upon the proper supply of mental impulses to it Tiny fibers con vey these impulses from dne part of the brAin to the other. They pass out from the spinal cord and turn into the cranial cavity, and are known as re current fibers If anything hap- "perfs to prevent these fibe:> from carrying the proper quan tity and quality of vital energy, then the tissues which they supply become abnormal in their function. Such a condition often exists as a result of slight displacement of the small bones which form the spinal column when the vertebnur-ts adjusted to its normal position and the pressure upon the nerve fibers is relieved, the cause of ner vousness has been taken away, base of the sktlll. The reason that Chiropractic is of inestimable value in cases of - o nervousness is that the effects are lastirug because the cause of the condition/ has been elim inated , . • DR. HART Another case is that of a man age 30, who was irritated with the least bit of noise He eom- piamed of insomr/ua, stiffness in the nock and a hur*:ng at 'he Chiropractic adjustments re moved the nerve irritation and s<M>n he was well again. He slept so well that the darm clock failed to awaken him. Order An Attractive Die from Which Letter Heads Can Be Reasonably Engraved i CHRONICLE PUB CO.
