Dissolve the copperas in 2 quarts of hot* water and sprinkle it fcver the whole mas?, mixing it thoroughly. (Store thi^ in a. barre? under shelter and keep some of it in an open b hallow box where the hogs can get it as they wish. This^ is not a remedy for worms, but is a splend id preventative. Worms make hogs unthrflty, ner vous and restless. Wet quarters, muddy yards, undrained pastures ami ponds are favorable to worm develop ment. -IHrty troughs, filthy feeding pens and pastures long in use are sources of infection. Remove , these sources of infection and help increase the production of meat in Kershaw County. Respectfully, HENRY D. GREEN, County Agent. In co-operation with the State For estry Department, a 10 acre forestry project is being started in each coun ty this year by one of the Vocational Agricultural classes in the county. The Vocational Agricultural Class at Blaney has been selected to carry out this project in Kershaw county,, and plans are already under way for this project. This 10 acre plot has been selected on Mr. E. T. Bowen' place. It is lo cated along the east side of the Blaney-Smyrna road on the south side of Twenty-Five Mile yCreek. The work on this project will be spread out over a period of ten years. Certain jobs will be carried out each year. The various jobs will include fire protection, management, planting, utilization and marketing seed selection, and the growing of nursery stock. 'In addition two plots, 1-4 'acre, will be taken and! rate of growth will be compared on the one which is thinned to that^on the one which is unthinned. Two other plots will compare the effect of fire on the life of yftung trees.

' li1 " " ,V i v H' m;?< statement, as to school TAXBS Niels Chriatensen, President, Farmers and Taxpayers' League Is thia the year to. raise the teach er?' salaries? , ^ No decrease is a raise. Today's scale of $90.00 to $140.90 per month, the minimum 6-O.lx- salaries, equals $120.06 to $175.00 per month a few | years ago. i The League asks a reduction of at least $2,000,000 out <xf the school ex penditure of $16,000,000. It is not in sisting on any particular means of se curing this saving. If it is better to reduce the county schools levy rather than the state school levy, then re duce at that point. The aim is to get a reduction of the total. This reduct ion, even if applied to the $10?000,000 teachers' salaries alone, (and it should be applied to the whole $16,000,000), would be 20 per cent, and that would leave them better off than they were a few years ago because each\dollar is worth much more today. It is charged the League proposes repudiation of teacher contracts. We propose they be revised. Experience shows they cannot be met. These con tracts have led us into great deficits. The League is not responsible for the $5,000,000 state deficit, nor for the $1,000,000 owed to the school tea chers. The League found them there. The state deficit and the teacher de ficit are to a large extent due to the 0-0-1 Law. The League Convention called for amendment of this Law. It holds that 110 economy can be had in school affairs until it is amended. We are denounced as eni^nies of the com mon schools. We are in fact demand ing safe echool financing. Today South Carolina seems headed for a greater sitate deficit and a greater teacher deficit because of the 6-0-1 Law, yet we are told that it is sacred and must nort be touched. The rapid increase in the buying power of the dollar requires readjust ment of all expenses. Individuate are readjusting-, farmers are readjust ing, business is readjusting. The Lea gue stands for readjustment in gov erumerit. We are not insistent as "to the details of the readjustment in school government. Every citizen is asked to consider this question ? In the League program to reduce state expense? at least 20 P?r cent, and county expenses1 an equal amount, is it not" reasonable to ask a reduction in echool expenses'of $2,000,000, which is 12 1-2 per cent of $16,000,000. ' Those so-called reductions are not in fact reductions, fior eighty cents to day will buy more than one dodlar when these salaries and expenses were fixed. A great smoke screen is being laid over South Carolina from the moun tains to the sea to cover the real faots of this school situation. The League suggests that citizens insist on an answer to this one question? "Is a two million dollar reduction too much to ask in the sixteen million dollar school expense?" EVERY STATE, CITY AND TOWN TO PARTICIPATE IN NINE MONTHS BICENTENNIAL CELEBRATION These points should be emphasized/ With respect to the Celebration of the Two Hundreth Anniversary of the Birth of George Washington: 1 ?
