"- # Mclver Williamson Given Advice **' To Fall Plantlag The turnip will furnish not only the greatest yield, l>ut the greatest j food yield for the smallest amount 1 of cultivation of any vegetable j grown. In fact, tho turnip #houM I never he cultivated at all, unions one ha* an obatreu&rou* hueband who is thp* >reveriufi"*Xrpm iv more malicious occupation. % It ix absolutely useless to plant turnips except on rich land and even then highly fertilized and manured. Harrow these in thoroughly and then re-harrow. Re-harrow generously in recognition of the fact that this is the last work which they will require. Mukc a mixture of at least six of your favorite varieties, including the Milan, White Egg, Cowhorti, Golden Ball, Purple Top, Seven Top and some Rutabaga to be there when all the rest ure gone. \ Sow these at the yple of six pounds to the acre, broadens:. Cover with rake or weeder and pack with a hoe or roller. A calcium barrel filled with dirt will do. vYoung* turnips die because the ground dries out faster than the roots go down. Rolling will preventvthis, therefore, roll early every morning before you are allowed any chewing tobacco until they t>egin to come up. Plant only when there is a deason in the ground. Plant as near the joth of September as possible.* I have noticed no vegetable equal J ing the turnip in iodine content ex I cept luttuce, beets and spinach. It i is an indiscretion, if not a crime, for j any family where there are children | not to "have a plentiful supply of tur I nips and spinach. If you intend to plant one/-tenth [ acre of turnips, be sure to get eough j fertilizer and manure for an acre and, put it all on this one-tenth. Turnips and spinach are most often spoiled by over cooking, especial-1 ly spinach which should only be, steamed. Mclver Williamson Mont Clare, S. C., Sept. 3, 1929 Dairy Income Totals Large Profit j Clemson College, Sept. 16?One of the. reasons why more farmers are not selling cream to the creamery is the fact that a weekly, cream check of $10 to $15 from four or; five cows is considered insignificant and Unworthy of the time and effort. This idea was pointed out at a recent meeting of dairy farmers by one of the county agents in the state who has had considerable experience in dairying, says J. P. LaMaster, head of the dairy division. "The county agent explained that most of these farmers compared the small weekly cream check with the returns received from a bale of cotton in the fall, instead of multiplying the weekly cream check by 52, which at $10 per week would mean $520 for the year," declares Mr. LaMaster. "Another point mentioned in this connection was thnt many farmers are too willing to lay by their cows during busy seasons, or at times when they want to do something else. The dairy cow can not be laid by like cotton or corn and give satisfactoiy results. In fact, this point is one of the strong recommendations for dairying on many farms because it requires labor every day in the year and will pay a profitable return." In the trial of the case against Mrs, i/ouis Pantages, wife of a wealthy j show man of Los Angeles, who is charged with second degree murder and now in process at Los Angeles several witnesses have testified thai the woman was druBk at the time hei automobile killed a Japanese. Twenty-seven cases of suicide have I been reported to the police of Hava na, Cuba, during the past week, witl I women outnumbering the men takim their lives three to one. Twelve at J tempted suicides were foiled. CLAIMS PASSED BY THE B().\RI OK COUNTY DIRECTORS. AUGUST 6, 1929. I Laurens T. Mills, clerk Board poor fund, County Attorney. telephone bills $5 10.8! I C.
