Abandoned Acres
I Good For Wheat
I A recent issue of the Macon, Ga.,
BpWraph. carried the following,
Bwhicli will be read with interest by
the friends of Mr. Carrisoiv who for mefly
resided i%Camden. Mr, carEton
is also in receipt of a letter
from the Macon Chamber of Comwhich
reads:
I "The press continues to report a
rich harvest from the movement of
Kechaniaed 'farming, and the adap-1
Station of wheat to Georgia farms
which was inaugurated by you so,
courageously a few years ago.
"We wish to convey to you'sincere
Appreciation of the Middle Georgia
utirfess men for yoyr intelligent
eadcrship in this program?yours
as been a revitalizing Tnfulence on
liddlr Georgia agriculture."
B^The present, harvest of Georgia
wheat which is daily pouring into
he local mills, was the subject of
Bom'ment yesterday by I),. F. Bruce,
Bounty agent, who called attention
Bo the opportunity which this crop
offered for the use of < abandoned
Bcreage in the state.
F "Thei e a real future in GeorBiu,"
he said, "on growing field-1
crops and livestock on abandoned
acreages. The necessities which must'
Bo along with the use of such land
are managerial ability, capital and
labor-saving machinery.
I "The bountiful wheat crop being
harvested in Georgia this year is the
result of increased interest during
the last three years. This large crop
is giving the farmer a nice profit
where cost of production is kept beBuw
$15 an acre and production is!
above 18 bushels.
"Two wheat day demonstrations
were held on the farm of D. J. Car- |
rison in 1928-29. These brought
^ farmers, bankers and agriculturists
from all parts of the state to see
what was thought to be impossible
carried out.
I "We take off our hats to Mr. Car
nson for having the nerve and pion-1
eenng spirit to tackle an old aban- 1
doned farm and turn it into profitable
yielding crops by the use of a I
tractor, one-way disc tplows and com-;
bine harvester. Several flour mills!
in the state affording a market for !
wheat has caused 21 combines to be |
bought in the last two years. Large!
acreages are still being harvested by i
reaper and binder, too. But this has |
brought a new vision with power I
machinery doing away with inefficient
labor. Several farms'with 1,000
to l,f00 acres are employing only
four to six hands by the use of riding;
I plows, cultivators and tractors."
He also added a word about adding
fertilizer to other crops as a side
dressing after the rain of the last 24
I $22,000 For Wheat
I The purchase Monday and Tuesday!
of $22,000 worth of Georgia wheat1
by local mills made those two days j
a record for grain history here, a;
check-up revealed last night.
W hen wagons and train cars poured !
8.694 bushels of grain into the bins!
of the Birdsey Flour Mills here!
Tuesday, an all-time record was es-i
tablished, it was learned.
; The Georgia wheat yield this year i
is considered the best in the history i
lof the state, and has brought many
thousands of dollars to the pockets of

I Mr. Thomas stated that he will
ship to various sections of the United

operation the cannery attracted many
visitors from the city and county,
and it was stated that the products
Drought in from various points in
Kershaw, Sumter and Lee counties
were as fine as were ever seen on the
local market.
Reports received at the office of
the ~oirth Carolina Natural Resources
Commission are to the effect that in
several sections of the State there
will be various community enterprises
in the growing of tomatoes.
-!?rin last tomato season considerable
shipments were made to
Georgia and Florida, in addition to
the large usual shipments to other
states, and this year contracts have
already been made by various growers
for the disposal of a larger acre- !
age.
Shipments of vegetables are not
only larger this year but the points
of shipment are more widely scattered
over the State. Impetus has
been given the vegetable movement
by buyers who have come into South
Carolina from other states. As one
particular instance of the wide advertising
which the iodine content of
South Carolina products has secured,
is a letter from a gentleman in another
state to the secretary of the
Natural Resources Commission stating
that he expects to send his son
to a South Carolina college particuj
larly on this account.

Johnson Wins Seat !
North State Senate
Camden and Kershaw county
friends of Murdock M. Johnson, formerly
of this city, but now a prominent
attorney of Aberdeen, N C., will be
Rl&d to know that he was overwhelmingly
nominated for a seat 1Y1
the North Carolina senate in Saturdays
primary in that state.
Mr Johnson is a member of the
law firm of Johnson and Johnson,
doing a large practice in several
counties. He was put up as a Democratic
candidate for the state senate
from the twelfth senatorial district,
comprising the counties of Moore,
Harnett, Hoke and Randolph, and won
out over two opponents. While there
are a good many Republicans in the
district and they will have a candidate
out against him, the Democrats
always have a majority and the nomination
Saturday, like South Carolina
primaries, is practically tantamount
to an election.
Mr. Johnson has made good in his
adopted state and he will have the
distinction, when the North Carolina
assembly, convenes of having served
in both branches of both the Smith
and North Carolina legislative bodies.
He was twice elected to serve as a
| member of the lower house from Ker
shaw county in the South Carolina
' assembly. His friends here congratj
ulate him on his victory.

Forestry' Commission at their last
meeting districted the State and authorized
the appointment of two district
foresters for South Carolina.
One man is being located in Florence,
and headquarters are being provided
for a district forester in Spartanburg.
&
Dr. D. Y. Lenhart, in charge of the
Morence district, has had four years
of technical forestry training, with a
degree of Bachelor of Science in Forestry:
He was secured frorh the North
Carolina State School of Agriculture
and Engineering, where he held a
teaching fellowship in the Forestry
Department of that School. He graduated
in 1927 and was employed by
private timber growing interests for
nearly two years, with about one
year's experience in state forestry ac.i
tivities. Mr. Lenhart is a woodsman1
from every point of view.
The timberland owners of the State
are becoming more interested each
year in their idle land problem. Mr.
Lenhart will spend practically all of
his time right on the ground with the |
timberland owners. He will work with
the schools, agricultural agents, agri- !
cultural teachers, county agents and
many other agencies that can be interested
in the all-important forestry
work of the state. With the fourteen
million acres of land in the State that
must grow trees under present agricultural
conditions, there is a big job
ahead. The State Forestry Commission
wishes to enlist for Mr. Lenhart
the fullest cooperation from every
timberland owner, saw mill operator,
farmer, business man, and, in fact
every'citizen of the State.

Bailey Defeats
Senator Simmons
Charlotte, N. C., June 9.?Josiah
W- Bailey, Raleigh attoruey, defeat-}
ed United States senator Furriifold
M. Simmons of New Berji fpr the
democratic nomination for senator on
the basis of incomplete returns from
Saturday's democratic primary election.
He will be opposed in the November
election probably by either Geo.
E. Butler of (Clinton or George M.
Ptfitchard of Asheville, republican.
Butler and Pritchard were leading on
the face of scanty returns ftom the
first state-wide republican primary
ever held in North Cardtina, with Irvin
Tucker of Whiteville and H. Grady
Dorsett of Wake Forest receiving
?n'vugh votes to prevent either getting
a majority.
In the democratic race 1,514 out
of the state's 1,799 precincts gave
Bailey a lead of 61,905 votes over
Simmons and the veteran senator, :
who has served his state at Wash-1
ington for 29 years, admitted yester-1
day afternoon that returns he had
received indicated his defeat. The
I vote was Bailey, 183,390; Simmons,
[ 121,465, and Thomas L. Estep, wet,
1,073.
There had been intimations that
Senator Simmons might run as an
independent in view of the fact that
Bailey entered the campaign with the
avowed intention of "punishing"
Simmons for his refusal in 1928 to
support Alfred E. Smith for president.
The senator today put a damper
on this with the statement that
such a prediction was "ridiculous."
Senator Simmons entered the senate
in 1900, defeating Marion Butler
of Clinton, then senator from North
Carolina, who was elected on the republican
ticket. For many" years
Simmons was virtually dictator of
the democratic party and to "his Ye}
fusal to support Smith - many attribute
the fact that North Carolina
went for Herbert Hoover in 1928.

Beloved Physician
Died Here Tuesday
Dr. James Thornwell Hay, of Boykin,
S. C., died at the Camden Hospital
at 11:15 Tuesday evening about
eleven hours after returning to ("amden
from New York, where he had
been carried a week previous in a
last desperate effort to save his life
from a complication of diseases,
which had been troubling him for a
long period.
The announcement of his death will
bring sorrow to a large . circle of
friends of both races. Dr. Hay was
born in Camden September 8, 1879,
the son of the late lamented Senutor
J. T. Hay, one of the best known and
highly esteemed barristers who ever
practiced at the Camden bar. He
moved to Boykin soon after his graduation
in medicine and much of his
time was spent in the practice of
medicine, a great deal of it without
any hope of compensation or reward,
except for the alleviation of the sick
and suffering, as many of the poor
of both rtijces can attest.
He is survived by his widow, who
before marriage was Miss Maggie
Boykin. He. is also survived by his
mother, Mrs. J. T. Hay, of Columbia,
one sister, Mrs. Bonham Brooks, of
Columbia, and one brother, Mr. W. O.
Hny, of Camden.
The funeral was held Wednesday
afternoon from Graco Episcopal
church, services being conducted by
Rev. C. G. Richardson. The entire
medical society of Kershaw county,
with a full attendance, acted as honorary
pallbearers, and the active pallbearers
were: W. A. Boykin, Henry
Boykin, B. D. Boykin, Jr., L. D. Boykin,
Willis "Cantey and D. A. Boykin.
The church was filled with sorrowing
relatives und friends and noticed
among the assemblage was a large
number of negroes?many of whom
he had ministered to when they were
in ill health and distress.
The exquisite floral designs attested
the esteem the Doctor was held
in by his host of friends
