The Columbia Record and The Columbia
State 'within the past fevr
day* have each come into a check?
the former receiving $5.00 and the
latter $10.00 being conscience money
from a former mswa agent, it .appears
that the agent had recovered
from "pick up" .papers in past year*,
hiWI wished to make restitution.
Name of party not given. H<t closes
letters to both papers thus: "May
the Lord bless you."
Are Times Hard?
A man the other, day said that
ti/nes were as hprd now as he had
ever seen them in his lifetime, lie
stood on the sidewalk and he noticed
thut the Streets were just lined with
parked automobiles; many were passing
and repassing along the streets
near where he stood. How could it
be so hard we asked when you see all
this array of ears that cost a total
no doubt of fifty thousand dollars
right here on the street where you
now see them??Horry Herald.
Disobedient Children ,
These modern children and young
folk are probably just as good7'6s
their parents were at corresponding
ages, but every once and a while it
does seem that they look at life as
a now-or-never proposition. There is
little reasoning in the best young
minds and non maturity.
A 15-year-old girl prodigy attempted
suicide because her parents are
trying to guide her u little through,
her unsettled years of adolescence.
She wants to live her own life, and
at life's first disappointment she tries
to quit the game. There 5s no reason
to such conduct, and if the oldfashioned
paddle has lost its savor
modern futhers will have to try something
else, for instance, non-support
?taking the money away from the
disobedient and putting them to
work.?Greer Citizen.
A Fine Specimen.
Mr. John E. Gaskin and his son,
Henry B. Gaskin, of the Flat Rock
section, brought to the office of Henry
.,JX Green, -tha xounf.y. agent, this, j
week a stalk, of oof-u measuring -18 i
feet. The entire stalk was entwined ;
with soy' beans, fully fruited, and the
big stnlk had two full grown ears ,
of corn. Mr. Gaskin tells us that 1
many farmers had told him that the
ears would not mature when planted
with soy beans, but from this specimen,
the statement will not hold. He
has ten acres of this corn planted
with the beans, and after gathering
the corn, the stalks and beans will
be left in the fields for winter grazing
for his cattle.

On last Friday Joe Kennington was
bound over by Magistrate W. R. Taylor

Inoculate Hairy VeUh,
~w to the* present time gra have 1
been unable to secure free inoculation
from the U. S. Department of
Agriculture at Washington, D. C., for
the farmers of Kershaw county. .We
understand that this is a recent ruling
of the U. S. D. A.
It is very necessary that hairy
vetch be inoculated where grown tor
the first tjjme. To fail to inoculgle
will probably mean, failure of tjhe
crop. Where possible to secure soil
from a field that has previously
grown a successful crop of hairy
vetch, this soil should be used in addition
to commercial inoculatiop.
Seed should be sown over the land in
the later afternoon ami stirred into
the soil by use of a harrow or some
similar implement. The sun will kill
the inoculation if allowed to shine for
u number of hours on the uncovered
seed.
Over 8,000 pounds of hairy vetch
have been bought and deliveretFin
Kershaw county this season, says
Henry D. Green, County Agent.
