Fertilizer Meetings
To Be Held in County
Farmers of Kershaw county are
hereby notified that important fertilizer
meeting* will be held in Camden
and at Kershaw Friday, February
, 19. The (meeting in Camden will be
held in the Court iHouse at 10:80 a.
m. and the one at Kershaw will be
held at the school at 3 p. m.
Mr. R. W. 'Hamilton, Extension
Fertilizer Specialist, will be the chief
speaker. Mr. Hamilton is one of the
best informed fertilizer specialists in
the southeastern states and \his is a
real opportunity for Kershaw county
farm people to gain valuable first
hand information ps to their fertilizer
problems.
Money available for fertilizer purchases
this year will be greatly restricted,
therefore it is very urgent
that the amount of money available
will be used to the best possible advantage.
Mr. Hamilton is in touch
with practically all of the fertilizer
dealers and manufacturers and also
knows the comparative analyses and
values of the various fertilizers. He
knows what fertilizers are best for
each type of soil and for each crop
to be grown. This year many farmers
have on hand considerable quantities
of cotton seed meal and the
problem in these cases will be to
mix the most suitable commercial fertilizers
to balance with this meal.
Mr. Hamilton will be in a position to
advise us bh'e cheapeS&^form in which
to buy potash, acid and ammonia.
In view of the fact that our farmers
have lost millions of doll&rs in
years past through not knowing the
j best fertilizers to buy nor how to
mix-to the best advantage homej
mixed fertilizer it is essential that we
give this important matter our careful
study. ?
It is suggested that in addition to
the farmers that as many high^chool
boys over the county as possible attend
one of the meetings, either at
Camden or Kershaw. In this connection
Mr. Green, the county agent,
, who is sponsoring these meetings, is
issuing an invitation to each of the
agricultural teachers of the county to
bring the boys of their classes to one
of these -meetings.
If and when the government farm
1 money is available in this county this
year it is very probable that the government
authorities will insist that
the farmers borrowing this money
mix their commercial fertilizer at
home. therefore, these meetings will
be of prime importance.
Landlords are especially urged to
insist on their tenants attending one
of these important fertilizer meetings.
It is also urged that colored
farmers as well as white attend.
Banks To Observe Holiday. .
The First National Bank and the
Bank of Camden will be closed on
Monday, February 22, the occasion
being an observance of Washington's
birthday.

It makes no difference to Tho Associated
Charities of Camden what a

One of the items that cost us a very
considerable sum every year is medicine.
A great many people are suffering
from lack of dental services,
doctors advice and medicine and these
are the things on which they try
to economise and on which we try
to extend all the help possible.
The food crops hero were good
this fall $nd the calls for food we
have been able, with the help of our
field worker, to take care of.
Clothing we have very little to
give but supply all our funds will
permit and owing to the very mild
winter we have been getting through
very well.
Our cnnning operations at tho
Home wero very successful. Almost
all of the vegetables and fruit put
up last., summer, amounting to over
18,000 cans, were donated to us. Wo
wero able in doing this to give employment
to from ten to twonty-fWo
people and while tho pay was small
it was some help to the neighborhood.
Wo have had our wood pile both
this winter and last and have given
many men employment and last winter
we paid some in mone^ Trhjs^

We aro endeavoring in every way
