I . . I Stop Farm Fires Says ('ounty Agent; The practice of burning off fields, , pasture* and wood* in one of the . worst thing* that farm people of Kershaw County could indulge in. Thi* practice has been handed ( down with the idea that it was a j good thing to do. The thing that j our .soil.* need most is humus. I* ires destroy humus in the fields and woods and kills seedling trees, injures ?a??d haidi&ii* larger trees. We need trees and humus. Now, 1 guess that there are some folks who think they know best and will continue to burn and to cause themselves losses. Do | not take this udvice as corning from , your County Agent ,alone but from your government and State also. 1 h" folks who came out to see and hear the valuable illustrated lecture* by Crroje Sam's best forestry lecturer last Week know why it is not best or tight to continue these fires. Your County Agent heard one of our laigei landlords tell his ove**-eer to keep down all fires on the plantation .f it was necessary ' > use e.eiy pei-on on the place to <io it. ; Thi* iandlord has not only been co< pe'at.ng with ui in this work but ;?l*o making ft deep study of it. He r* envly set several- thousand I seedling trees. v i Kveiv landowner and tenant and; bu>me -- man should tak enoug.f pi.Ul Kershaw c-unty'- develop- , men: to help in this: work.

Some of the sehoo' tf the County are now taking hold , and organizing to keep down fires ; and *et trees. Do not burn off the fields. Turn under the grass and j stubble. Urn lands need this valu- ; able humus for on a wet year the i nuinu* will hold the soil and fertil- 1 .zer from washing and leaking out i ?<. badly and on a dry year the humus i act* as a sponge and retains a great j deal "f moisture which is necessary j to make the crop. \\ hy, then, should anyone burn the orte thing that : needed most of all?

J I There's money in Camden. There are people aplenty here to spend it There's good business for you?IF you, the merchants of Camden, join The Chronicle in keeping Camden's business in Camden. It all boils down to the very import| ant thought that the nearby, bigger towns and the mail order houses are ALWAYS trying to attract trade from I the smaller communities. Always trying! Very often succeeding! And, sad but all too true, to the detriment of you, the merchants of Camden and the merchants of all other smaller towns. What to do about it is a problem you must help solve, if you are to prosper. A mighty vitAl problem it is, too, as you well know. Just the same, we can keep Camj den's money in Camden. And the folk of Camden can be brought around to the habit of buying in Camdfen almost exclusively. And you can make both conditions possible. When the salesman gets enthusiastic about Camden, (he's bound to pass h:? enthusiasm on to the sales manag- j er of his company. An then the manufacturer of the goods you buy will begin thinking of Camden. He'll think of it, not as a small spot on his office map, but as a community where you, his retailers, are trying to sell his goods for him. j He, too, will get Camden-minded, and feel more justly obligated to give you the advertising support in your local, Ihome town newspaper tihat he's giving his retailers in the bigger towns. i ? He'll get over the notion that he is reaching the folk of Camden with his advertising in the bigger towns' newspapers and in the general magazines. ( Yes, you merchants of Camden!,- 1 That's the solution to the wlhole prob- I lem. Sell tfne manufacturers of the 1 goods you stock your shelves with on Camden. Sell them through their sales-men. Ii Here's how. ( The very next time a salesman from whom I you order merchandise comes to your stores, sell him on Camden. Of course, you must sell yourself first. G e t 1 Camden-minded. Get the salesman feeling I the same way. Enthusiasm is contagious. r ^ I his newspaper has joined Mil all town newspapers all over the country in a nation-wide campaign to convince national advertisers that they best yas>-ist small town merchants by advertising in the local, home town newspapers of the small i town merchants. The manufacturers' advertising in Camden's home newspaper will help you sell more of your merchandise to more and to the greatest number of Camden's people. This advertising support will help keep Camden's money in Camden. It will mean good business for you ?and more of it. | You need the advertising aid of the manufacturers whose goods you stock urge their salesmen to recommend your local home newspaper.
