Rig Step Forward is That of Cattle Raising r " ii i i i hi i Agriculture in Kershaw county recently took a big step forward when beef produced in Kershaw county, or Kershaw county pastures end feedH, by Kershaw county farmera, was butchered and dressed in Kerahaw county and refrigerated in the big cold atorage ice plant in Camden und handled by a Camden meat market and was bought and eaten by citizena of Camden and Kershaw county, says Henry D. Green, the county agent, One of the important polnta in this transaction is the fact that the motley spent for these beef cuts ia still in Kerahaw county. Not a penny of it has gone from this Community or state to atates which have been sell -[ ing to us moat of our meats. Ibis matter ia all the more sigm-l ficant when we consider that we have a fine country here wonderfully adap-' ted to liveatock production. We have certain definite advantages over our sister states which are finding live, stock production no profitable even under their conditions. For instance, we enjoy atlong growing season. Our winters are mild and rather short which enables us to keep our livestock on open pusturea a greater part of the year than sections which have colder and longer winters. Mild winters also do not require such tighc and expensive burns as mory severe climates. Kershaw county is close to the great consuming centers of population in the Eastern United States. Above all other considerations Kershaw county should be self-sustaining und produce ull of those crops which can be economically produced here. Camden and Kershaw county are annuully sending out tj other states hundreds of thousands of dollars for foods that we can produce right here at home and ut a profit. We need something to supplement 1 our cotton crop. Cotton ulone means disaster. We need a balanced farming and the production of our own meats should not be a secondary con- 1 sideration. Fewer acres of cotton well fertilized and looked after will bring us more net profit than skihiming over too large an acreage. 'I hen too livestock will help us make better and more profitable crops by enriching our soils. ^LetT"*^get down to business with our agriculture. Let's apply this great and noble teaching of live-athome not only to our individual farms and homes but also to ouf^county and the great State of South Carolina. However, before we buy too many cows, hogs, sheep and the like, let's start producing home-grown feeds i.i abundance. We need to produce, feeds, grain and hay with emphasis ' on legume, hays. And by all means start a permanent pasture. If anyone says they can't produce pastures on the soils of Kershaw county I would like to have the opportunity to carry that person to the Sand Hill Experiment Station at Pontiac between Camden and Columbia. T o the farmers of Kershaw county I would say: Produce more and bettoi foodstuffs. To the consumers of Kershaw county I would say: Pat- 1 , ionize this home industry. Buy our farmers products. This sort of cooperation means "Farm Relief." This same thought applies to Soufh j Carolina at large as it applies to! Kershaw county. ! e have the land, climate, poten- ( tial pastures and feeds. We have a waiting market right here. We , have a fine cold storage plant in ( amden. Our locally-grown meats and foods, vegetables, eggs and but- ; tor are just as good as can be bought 1 anywhere. In starting to produce beef I would advise our farmers to observe the one great caution?hold down unnecessary .overhead expenses. Make a good pasture. Fence it and sow it j to proper grasses and clovers. Buy ( one good beef-type bull. Then buy up native heifers and in a few years a good l>eef herd can be built up. Be sure to produce your own feed for cattle. Consult your banker. Specialist Advises Plant Oats Early Clemxon College, Oct. 21.?A frequent mistake made by farmers in the planting of fall crops is the failure to seed them sufficiently early, says Dr. T. 8. Buie, head of the agronomy division, who states that this is usually regarded as the harvest season, but that it should als > be utilized for planting, "In an experiment conducted at Clemsyn College in 1927 and 1928 to determine the most satisfactory date for planting oats, (he highest yield | was produced from the October 1 planting," continues Dr, Buie, "When planting was delayed until two weeks later the yield was reduced approximately seven bushels per acre. When the oats were not seeded until November 1 the decrease in yield was approximately 13, bu#ht*J? more, or ti decrease in yield of almost one bushel for each day's delay in planting, It is of particular interest to note that, the yield from the plots planted after November 15 was verv j much lower. The yield from plant ' ings mude the first afid middle o-f December 'was less than one-half of that from the October plantings. Oats .that are planted early develop a strong and vigorous root system before cold weather, while those that ure planted late do not. "If oats have not been planted,, further delay should not be allowed," I advises Dr. Buie. "A thoroughly' prepared and well-firmed seedbed | will do much to offset the disadvan-| tage of late planting. Drilling ?s preferable to broadcasting as the ridges afford protection to the young plants. A light application of a complete fertilizer at planting will assist in promoting a Vapid early growth." Cadets Stage Drill at Davidson Davidson, N. C., Oct. 19.?The Citadel sent its prize drill company here today to stage ope of its''justly famous maneuvers as part of the celebration incident to the Davidson-Citadel footbAll game. Before the game started, led by the crack military band, the cadets paraded without i flaw before the rapidly filling stands. Between the halves another demonstration of well-drilled soldiers was given as the school band furnished the marching stops. A large crowd ( of Citadel supporters sat together or. the east side and cheered the cadets. Frqm opposite sides of the field the Davidson and Citadel bands exchanged courtesies by playing the other's alma mater. Tonight the cadet company and the football team are being entertained in Charlotte by a group of alumni beaded by W. S. Lee, power engineer for the Duke Interests. Camden Boy a Member. William Clyburn, son of Dr. and Mrs. W. R. Clyburn, was a member if the prize drill team from the Citadel. . Four negroes, two men and two , women of Winston-Salem, went to a dance at Statesville, Sunday night at midnight, riding in a new roadster. Coming hame about 2 o'clock Monday morning their car left the road ; and struck a pine tree, the machine being driven at a rapid clip. Three of the negroes are dead and the fourth will hardly get well. General James A. Thomas, 84, to" several terms commander of the Georgia United Confederate Veterans and for a part of a term national commander, died at his home ? at Dublin, Ga? last week.

Whit tington, 80, and his wife, Mrs. Ella Whittington, 45, were instantly killed by a westbound Seaboard Air Line passenger train in the suburbs of Dillon at 5 o'clock this afternoon. Their daughter, Miss Elizabeth Whittington, 16, was mortally injured and died within an hour. Mr. Whittington was a farmer and resided two miles east of Marion '>1 the old Pee Dee road. Mr. rttvd Mrs. Whittington and their daughter came over to Dillon this afternoon on a short visit to their son, J. B. Whittington. Five minutes after leaving the son's home they were struck by the train. They were riding in a light coupe. Miss Elizabeth Whittington, it is claimed by eye witnesses to the tragedy, was driving the car. They were traveling at a leisurely rate of speed and did not seem to be aware of the approaching train until within a few feet of the crossing. The car was seen to swerve slightly toward the left a few moments before the collision. The train, an oil burner, was said to have been one hour and fifteen minutes late. The car was badly damaged ami the motor was thrown a distance of 75 feet. Mr. and Mrs. Whittington's bodies were hurled 50 feet. When horrified spectators reached the scene Mr. and Mrs. Whittington were dead. The iate Miller Huggins, manager of the New York Yankees who died several days ago, left an estate valued at more than a quarter of a million dollars. His sister, Miss Myrtle Huggins, receives the bulk of the estate. Livingston?'Savage Wedding f\ Mis* Margaret Livingston, daughter of Mrs, John Fraaer Livingston, and Lawrence Alexander Savage were married yeaterduy afternoon at 5 o'clock in the First Presbyterian church by the Rev. R, A. Lapsley. Palms were banked about the ros* trum with one tall silver vase holding lilies in the center. Seven branch candelabra holding lighted cathedral tapers were placed at intervals with lovely effect. As'the guests were being seated Fred Parker, organist, played Shubert's "Serenade" and "Traumerei" and ju^t at six Miss Martha Johnston. accompanied by Mr, Parker, sang "My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice" fn?m "Samson and Delilah" (Saint Saens) and "Relieve Me if All Those Endcaring Yoying Charms." During I the ceremony Nevin's "Venetian I^ove Song" was played. Roth wedding marches were played and the ring ceremony was used. ? The ushers, who led the wedding party, were JumeS Key, Meade Raker, James M. Righarn, Andrew Burnett and John Laurens Mills, of Camden, and Fitzgerald Rutherford of Newberry. Henry Savage, brother of the bridegroom, was best man. All the attendants wore costumes of pale green transparent velvet with crushed velvet flowers on the fitted bodices and skirts with pointed trains.

The bride, who entered on the arm of her brother, Otis Livingston, woie a lovely bridal costume of ivory satin moulded close to the figure, the skirt falling in graceful circular folds to the floor in the back. A narrow V yoke of real lace was set into the bodice and the long fitted sleeves ended in a point over the hand. A crown effect of lace pointed at the front with a frill of tulle across the. hack held the bridal veil which fell in cloudy folds to the uneven hem line of the long skirt. Her slippers were of ivory satin and she carried a shower bouquet of bride roses and lilies <>f the valley. Mrs. Livingston, mother of the bride, won* a dress of black chiffon with a shoulder bouquet of Madame Butterfly roses and lilies of the valley. Mrs. Savage, mother of the bridegroom. wore black lace.

C., Oct. 21.?'Flying an Eaglerock plane, Pilot D. C. Martin and J. L. Jackson, of Anderson, had a narrow escape shortly before noon today, when their plane became lost in a fog and crashed into the side of Pari? mountain. Both of them escaped although they fouml themselves in the top of a tree about 75 feet above the rugged mountain side. They scaled the side of the tree and came to earth, to find their plane wrecked. The two men were flying from Oxford, N. dT., to Anderson, but were searching for the Greenville airport when their ship crashed. Both came to this city. ^ . L. U. Green, of Yonkers, N. Y., a student flyer, made a forced landing at Inwood, N. Y., last Monday. ' His descending plane struck a tnfetor being operated by Steven Kosoko and Kosokh was killed instantly, -while the airman escaped with slight injuries, although his plane was wrecked. I. I ? 1 1 FARMERS' SEED PLOTS Saving Own Seed Would Be Big Saving When Planting Seed is High One of the best suggestions I have received in a long time came from a Kershaw county banker a few days ago when he asked me to encourage our farmers to have definite plots for the production of seed planting use the following year. This would be one of the best practices a farmer could follow. So often we have to buy oat, wheat, rye and other seeds. Money is usually scarce. Seeds are high priced and scarce. . But if we had our seed oats, seed rye, seed wheat, seed corn, cotton seed * id others ready, waiting and paid for we would certainly plant more of these valuable and necessary crops. If a farmer would set aside three acres for seed oats for instance, get good seed from Coker or some other reliable seed house, use these in the special plot and fertilize this plot highly, he would have fine s^ed for next year for himself and maybe a few to sell. Indications are that quite a good acreage of wheat will be sown in Kershaw county this year and a much larger acreage of small grains in general than is customary. Let's sow more grains. Make plenty of food for our families and feed for , ?-? H the livestock. Let's follow Mr. Yito. wise suggestion and really empty this method of producing our on seeds. It will pay us, says Henry 1 Green, the county kfcent. It is very gratifying to note the sincere interest that all of our bank, ers are taking in Kershaw's mrot important enterprise ? agriculture. Cooperation is surely taking hold. A new agriculture is ahead and prospects are good. Card of Thanks Flora Clay, chairman of the Willi ing Workers of Trinity M. E.
