Kaupp, German-American scientist, recognized as one > of the greatest authorities on poultry and turkey subjects in the world, is to conduct the school. For sometime efforts have been made by the home and county agents to secure the ser vices of Dr. Kaupp since it is felt that this type of education xonducted by such an eminent authority as he would be very valuable to Kershaw County, especially as there is sucl' wide spread interest in the product ion of poultry and turkeys.

Agent to Hold Fertilizer Meetings It is planned by the county agent to conduct fertilizer meetings in va rious communities of Kershaw county which meetings will begin within the next several days. It is desired that anyone wishing to have a fertilizer meeting in his community will notify the county agent as soon as possible in order that the schedule of dates may be arranged to the best ad vantage. These meetings will be very im portant in view of the fact that it is expected that our farmers will mix most of their fertilizer this coming season. Thousands of dollars have been spent for fertilizer which we did not need very much, while be cause we did not know the needs of | our soils and crops we. did not per haps apply some other fertilizer which was needed more. This sub ject has been thoroughly 'studied out and it is expected that recom mendation can be made for each com munity which will enable the farmers to more nearly purchase and use the fertilizers actually needed for the particular soil type and the particu lar crops to be grown. It is always hoped that cooperative lers may be placed wherein thr irtilizers so used may be secured at en cheaper prices than are now in icftted. j*It should be remembered that farm who planted ausrian peas or vetch tJjjls year and who secure good standi wjll not need to purchase very much nitt^gen fertilizer if any. Those in terested in having a meeting in their community are requested to notify the $ounty agent as soon ^s possible. Respectfully, "4 H. D. GREEN, County Agt.

He is a di rector of the federal reserve bank of Richmond and head of several busi ness firms in his home city, including a large pedigreed seed company. On his seed farm he originated va rieties of staple cotton widely grown in this country and elsewhere. He has taken a prominent part in public affairs, particularly respecting agricultui-e.
