Progressive Farmers
Look Forward....
There never was a time more important than the
present for the farmers of Kershaw County to study the
best methods of cultivating the lands for larger yields.
With ,the dreaded boll weevil's approach what could be
more important than to know how to combat with the
little pest.
Early cultivation, modern farm implements, good fer
tilizers go a long way toward making good crops.
See our stock of Emersons Grain drills, disc harrows,
cotton stalk cutters, peg tooth harrows, plows, etc.
