Adult Classes to Be Organized in County At no time in the history of our Statu has such an opportunity come to our people as now, when our U. S. Government through the R. F. Cfund, has qffered to furnish teachers that will teach our adults the things they could not get during their youth. This has been the dream of Miss Wil Lou Gray for years. It is due to her and Mr J", H Hope that the funds have been made available for this great work. Miss Gray has been working for years to. give our adults the chance of an education that would mean to them dollars and conts and also an added pleasure in living and, in turn, make better citizens. Beginning with this week there will be classes organized in every county in South Carolina for the teaching of our citizens. In these classes, pupils will be taught the things they are ?^st interested in, primarily the making of better homes, parents, and I citizens. No one should fail to avail! himself of this rare opportuntiy. I hese schools will be taught by teachers especially trained to teach, the things each community mostly needs. The U. S Government is trying in every way to meet the needs of the people in this ciisis. For some time it has been aiding those financially depressed. But, now, it has promised to help iii this work of teaching our people to he?y themselves. Mrs. Watts, the County Superin tendent of Education and the Board of Education are vitally interested in this p>ogram, and are lending inval uable aid to the cause.

Farm Tour to Be Conducted Saturday A short "farm tour is 10 be con ducted Saturday morning, Oct. 28^ Only two demonstrations will be vis't ed. Both of these will deal with suil buitding. Only about 2 1-2 or'3 hours will be required for inspec*nig and studying these two demonstrations The first will be a study of results obtained from the use of Winter le gumes such as Austiian Peas and Vetch. This will be on teh farm of Mr. B D Boykin who lives just off of the Sumter Highway between Camden and Boykin. Mr. Boykin was one of the first farmers ni the County to begin using these valuable winter le gumes and he has received very out standing results. The demonstration this year is in cotton which followed Austrian Peas and Vetch which grew on tfie land last winter and were turned under this Spring. The second phase of the trip will be an inspection of Crotalaria which is now growing on Clifford Plantation which plantation lies between the Liberty Hill Road and the Lancaster Highway opposite DeKalb Station. About 200 acres of Crotalaria are now growing on this farm and since previous demonstrations with this summer legume cover crop have prov en so valuable and beneficial, It is thought well that our farmers become acquainted with this new legume without further delay. Much of the 200 acres of Crotalaria will average almost shoulder high to a man. It is growing on ve:y thin up-land sandy soil. There was no soil preparation, no fertilizer, and no cultivation. The leed were broadcast. The cotton to be studiexi at . Mr, Boykin's plantation is large, green d well fruited. In fact, much of it (is taller than a man while cotton on the same type of soil just across the road which received no Austrian Peas or Vetch or other legume cove-crops is only the ordinary type of cotton which is so common in our County. Every farmer who is interested in improving his condition, building up his soil, making bigger crop yields with le?s commercial fertilizer and less cost shoule' by all means take time to inspect thsse two elemon ra tions. a Everyone who goes on this short' tour is reejuested to meet at the Court) House in Camden in time to leave the Court House not later than 9:30 A.

A. Cobb, Chief, Cotton Section, Wash ington, D. C. regarding the handling and disposal of the cotton option: Washington, D. C. October 1G, 1933 "Mr. Henry D. Green, County Agent, Camden, S. C. Dear Mr. Green: We are in receipt of your letter of September 19, requesting information on option cotton. It is hoped an dexpected that forms for exercising the option contracts will go out of this office on or about Octber 25, 1933, to all county agents. When all the forms shall have been received by the county agents, they will be advised of the exact date when the options may be exercised by the farmers. The purpose of this pro cedure is to give each holder of an option contract the same and equal opportunity to exerciso his rights, therein. It would not be fair to al low one farmer to exercise his option when tho market is good and at a later date allow another farnu r to exercise his option when the market is not so good. We are trying our best to give every farmer an ejual opportunity to obtain the most possible from the ex ercising of his option contract. There fore, you may safely advise the farm ers that from the latest information you have, you believe that the on+ions will be in their hands before the end of this month. Very truly yours, C. A. COBB Chief, Cotton Section Production Division" WIMBERLY HALL DEDICATED A unique service was held Tuesday night by the Young Women's Society of the Methodist church.
