Hamilton, on Friday, March 7th. There will be two meetings the first at Kershaw at 11:00 a. m., and the other in Camden at the Court House at 3:00 p. m. All of the banks of Kershaw County will be represented at one of these meetings, says Henry I), (ireen, the County Agent. , Severe .handicaps now stand in the path of cotton production and if wo are to make cotton in 1030 at a profit we shall have to apply the best known methods of production. Now, folks, let's get down to business with this matter. No man who plants cotton in Kershaw county in 1030 can afford to lose money?many men and women and children are depending on the outcome of our cotton crop. Since | our Government and State have gone to the expense of lending their very best cotton specialist to Kershaw CmJnty to help us, it seems only fair that we come out to hear and learn. You will not lose by coming but you | -tand a good chance of being helped ?no matter how good a cotton farm;<r you are. A farmer's most imI portant work is from his eyes up. 1 IMea?e cooperate with us by telling your neighbors about this meeting, j Landlords and tenants are most urgently requested to attend.

BEG(i A ItS In /Seine communities begging has ;,i'<en increasing lately. The public, ! with sympathies aroused because of the employment .-ituation, ha- been m -ponding m?oe generously than u-ual to -yen app< al-. In one city a month'- invc.-tigation ' was. made by a hanty organization. The repo-t. submitted the other day. -tated that mo-t of the per-ons apfiealing !' <r help from pedestrians and ihou-ew:\es were professional panh andle rs. Of IP persons questioned, 2b were begging on the streets for money, ninle were asking at back doors for food, ami 34 were peddling such arI tides as lend pencils and shoe laces. Only one of these said he had tried to get work. Seventeen admitted they were professional beggars, 14 said they had begged occasionally beI fore. One man admitted making $0 | to a day and considered his occupation perfectly legitimate. One child found peddling led the investigator to her mother who wore a fur coat and #at in a new car waiting for the child. The investigating committee urges citizens to direct any beggars or peddlers who approach them to certain welfare organizations where the needy will receive assistance, whether it be food, lodging, clothing or help in getting work. Such action would check the activities of the pr<>fe.--ional beggars and would be of c eater help to the genuinely needy than occa-iona! street donations. This - the surest way to prevent the pr.if> -sior.nl beggars from cashing in on the real need of others or the honest desire of the sympathetic to help the unfortunate.?Sumter Item.

V-O Premiums for Good Fiber "In view of the complaint that American cotton la not u reeling the world's demand for good staple lengths as satisfactorily as It formerly did, the evidence that Improvement is possible has obvious Importance. It should also facilitate 4 1 9 the payment of udecjuate premiums for superior fiber. Heretofore the practice lias been to assemble cotton in even running lots at central points rather than at points of origin. This has entuiled tiie payment of flat prices at country markets, with the result that the grower of superior cotton has. been penalized unjustly."J -WrM. Jardthe, former becretury of Agriculture. V-O "My customers ask for V-O year ufter year. V-C Is the first to move out of my warehouse." J. F. Gray, Dealer, Iva, 8. C. ]h.*at Hull Worm with V-C The Poll worm is a cannibal, so the wise farmer plants a small plot of lute corn to have it Just silking and tasselmg as bait when the field corn dries, says the U. 8. Department of Agriculture. The moth stops on the trap corn and the lar.vue eat uueanother heartily. Only a few are left to go after the cotton which probably has been fertilized with Y-C and has developed such hard bolls that the surviving worms do very little damage. V-O "We have a large list of customers who have used V-C several years and are thoroughly satisfied. Quality and mechanical condition make V-O easy to sell."?W. R. Thrasher 4 Bros., Dealer, Darwlck, Ga. All This I s Extra Cotton seed* now produce refined oils, synthetic stearin, soap and soup powder*, nitroglycerine, roof paint, wrltlnspaper, nitrocellulose, smokeless powder, sun cotton, laouuers, artificial leather, celluloid, rayon, photographio films, sausage casings, pyralln toilet ware, furfural , carbo-hydrates* and potash, according to Major T. P. Walker, Commercial Bolvents Co., Terre HauievInd. And the cotton plant Is used in bleaching, dyeing, printing, waterproofing and meroerlzatlon. * V-O ? "Farming is in a state of revolution. Business men should not let the farmer get the erroneous Idea that the problem Is singular to him, for revolution Is abroad In the Industrial world today as In agriculture. The era of new competition is bringing drastic changes.?H. H. Hei**^nn. V-O "From one and a half acres that I used V-O on tills year I gathered yoo pounds of lint cotton." ?O. A. Howard, Oakboro. N.

One customer made 12 bales of cotton on a one-horse crop. Another made 20 bales and4'?) bushels of corn on a two-horse crop."? Winston Gin Co., Dealer, Haleyville, Ala. V-C A standard way of calling fertilizer grades has been agreed on by one association after another, and now Lt Is unanimous. The now uniform practice Is to call nitrogen first, superphosphate second, and potash third. What used to be called an 8-4-4 in Georgia, for example, Is now a 4-8-4 and la Identified, that I way anywhere "Labor constitute the biggett item of eip?aM In growing cotton. When labor can be saved, it menu cheaper cotton. Fertiliser helps to Mve labor. Concentrate on (ewer aoree, fertilize these heavily, and sat bigger acre yields."?J. C. Phidmokk.

V-O ? f ] The Truth for Everybody ' 'The Idea seems to be widespread In some sections that Government crop reports hurt farmers by placing Information in the hands of speculators. The big buyers have their own sources of information, and if they can keep facts to therm selves they have an advantage. A . furmer Is often badly misled by judging the whole crop by conditions In his locality. As long as crops are grown in the open and the roads are free, experienced crop observers can form rather close estimates. If the crop-reporting system w^re ubolished. the farmers would be the principal losers."?ft'- F. Callander, Yearbook of Agriculture. V-O --?\ Cotton is the principal fabritf used in uirplune manufacture, writes B. Youngblood in The Country Gentleman. It is estimated that at least two million yards of airplane cloth were consumed in 1929 in the United States alone. I V-C I "The spinner, like everyone else ! in the markets, is looking for bargains, but he can't use Just anything called cotton.
