MAKING COTTON PAY
That prosperity is rapidly return*
ing to the Southern cotton growers is
indicated by tho sales of agricultural
supplies in tho South. Further evi<
dence that cotton growers have not
lost faith in their crop is shown by
the enormous increase in purchases
of materials and equipment used in
tho growing of the .crop. .
One manufacturers of a^cftpnrttal
used extensively for the treatment of
cotton seed to prevent damping-off or J
sore-shin of the young plants reports
sales in the closing months of 1933
were 160 per cent better than for the
corresponding months of 1932.
This increase in demand for seed
treating chemicals is interpreted to
mean that cotton breeders and cotton
growers are determined to gilve their
crop every advantage during tho com
ing season. It means also that the
increased price for cotton and the
government payments to growers
have revived the growers' spirits and
encouraged them to adopt the latest
n dnmost efficient methods of pro
ducinfl their crop.
Tho advantage of treating cotton
seed with certain chemicals prior Tft
planting is a comparatively recent
discovery. To offset tho dangers of
securing a poor stand of plants, which
in many cases ' required replanting,
growers usually have followed the
practice of planting large amounts
of seed per acre. This was done with
the hope that, after the damping-off
or sore-shin disease had taken its
toll of plants, there would still he a
sufficient nutnTJer of healthy plants
left for a profitable stand.
With the introduction of seed treat
ing chemicals susch as sulfuric acid
and ethyl mercury chlorido dust
growers wero enabled to reduct tho
losses from camping-off and to T>o
more certain of securing un1foi*m
stands of plants. Investigations by
several of the state experiment stat
ions in the South proved that treated
cotton seed could be planted with
reasonable safety 2 or 3 weeks earlier
than untreated seed. Apparently the
chemical applied to tho seed protected
it from rottng undre the cool, wet
soil conditions (prevalent during the
early part of the planting season.
Seed treatment has no direct effect
on losses caused by tho boll weevil.
However, it has been pointed out by
scientific workers that one way to re
duce the damage by the boll wfcevil is
to plant early. Prior to the advent
of efefctive chemicals for treating
the seed, the cotton grower was plac
ed in a serious dilemma. Ff he plant
ed oarly, his chances of securing a
good stand were exceedingly poor.
On the other hand, tf he delayed his
plpnting until the soil conditions were
more afvorable, then he usually suf
fered heavy losses by tho ravages of
the boll weevil.
Recent publications by Several of
the experiment stations in cotton
growing states call attention to the
fact that early planting of treated
seed will enable the grower to avoid
much of his former loss from poor
stands and from the weevil also.

The farmers of Mt. Pisgah com-]
munity have been attending the week
ly evening class meetings in Vocat-I
ional Agriculture. The meetings
wero held at Savannah Grammar
School on Tuesday nights and at Buf
falo Grammar School on Wednesday
nights. Tho following topics havu
-been discussed by the farmers and the
agricultural teacher: tho making and
saving of farm manures, what the
Federal Land Bank and the Product
ion Credit Corporation offers the
farmers, the 1934-'35 Cotton Reduct
ion Plan, the establishment of a per
manent pasture, culling poultry,
pruning the homo orchard, and fer
tilize! mixtures.
Six farmers purchased carpet
grass seetT for their permanent pas
tures and two purchased lespedeza.
The high school boys studying Yo-|
cational Agriculture, better known as
Future Farmers of America, havt
been busy for some time preparing
themselves for the District Judging i
Contest to be held at Heath Springs!
I early in Apnl. Three boys will be \
\ selected f rom the class to represent |
the school. The following will be1
judged at" the* District Contest: Seed
corn, Seed potatoes, Seed sweet pota- j
toes, peach trees, seed oats, mules, j
dairy cows and hogs. The informa-j
tion learned during the contest will
be of value to the boys in later life]
when they have to select good seed,
a dairy cow or mule for their farm.
The annual Junior-Senior reception
will be held on Friday night, Marc?I
the 30th at the high school building.
The Juniors have an interesting pro

HOT LUNCHES KEEP SCHOOL
CHILDREN HEALTHY. HAPPY
Exactly 2105 boys ami girls ot Klt
shaw County enjoyed the benefits of
hot lunches at noon last week. This
was made possible through the co-op
ciation of Mrs. Leon Schlosburg who
is inc hargo of Women's work of the
C. W. A., Mrs. Kathleen 1!. Watts,
County Superintendent of Education,
Dr. Humphries and. Miss Hey of the
County Health Department, Miss Sa
die Craig, County Home 1) onst r/i*
lion Agent, and the teachers <>f tWT
county. It is not the idea that the
entire lunch be prepared at school,
but that each child continue bringing
lunch fom home to supplement the
food given by C. W. A. The hot dish
warms up the rest of the food | ad
makes it all more appetizing and di
gestible.
I he parents, teachers and. children
will find it interesting to study im
proved conditions in the school to
which the improved lunch may make
a substantal contribution. Partici
pation by the children in serving and
J clearing away the lunch gives the
children practice in sharing f.appily
in responsibilities.
The supervised lunch period will be
an opportunity for wise guidance in
forming desirable eating habits for
eating habits are being developed
whenever and wherever the child con
I sumes food. If left to themselves
children usaually hurry through the
noon meal at school, sometimes not
taking time to sit down to eat in or
der that they may have all the timeA
possible for games and sports. <f the
habit of eating slowly is to bo prac
ticed it is desi.Sle that the children
sit down together and remain seated
I for at least fifteen minutes. This
gives an opportunity to promote so
ciability, co-operation and friendli
ness in place of the unhealthful "eat
and run" habit.
It is to be hoped that every child
will avail itself of the privilege of
eating lunches served at school f(,r
the following reasons:
L The child will learn the import
ance of eating a well balanced diet
and what constitutes this diet.
2. Under a properly supervised
lunch period the necessity <>1* proper
chewing and physical relaxation will
bo stressed.
3. rho luiowledgo of prevention oi^
diseases such as pellagra and tuber^
miosis will be obtained since only
by keeping the system well nourished
can these be avoided.
4. Varied and prolonged activities
Of tho growing child causes an almost
unlimited expenditure of energy
which must be supplied by food.
5. Seeing the need of varied ar
ticles of food in diet the child will be
encouraged to try to ) f ]y produce
these at homo for both immediate and
future use.
ft. A well fori child is happy and
active both physically and mentally
so let every one strive to help with
this important activity f'?r the wel
fare of the fliture parents of our
