fl' ,\11 r. i tt i / Live-at-Homers In Cherokee Increase GnfTney, July 5.?Farmers more concerned with making their farms self-sustaining as to foods and feeds than with big uhsh profits from socalled "money crops" are much more numerous now in Gherokee than formerly. To illustrate: ('. F. Swafford, near Gatfney, has cut cotton acreage one-tfurtT or more, increasing grain including wheat, llis three-year rotation (cotton and Austrian peas two years, then oats and cowpeas one year) works wonderfully well and his soil gets richer, more productive. This y^ar his oats made ' ' >10 bushels per acre. He uses crim* .. son cloVer and oats for hay. He hps hud every acre of his l}J5-aore farm under some legume at least once in the last live years; and it is rumored thut somebody called him 'damfool* t^once for turning under a tine clover Icrop. Home-mixing fertilizer, terracing land, using purebred cotton seed, fertilizing legumes, keeping a farm account record in cooperation with Clemaon economists?these are evidences that he is a good farmer. C. P. Green, Chesnee, general farmer, grows farm needs in foods and . feeds and then grows cotton and Mweet potatoes for cash crops, with plenty of corn and small grain. His light sandy loam soil is good for sweet potatoes, and ho finds the cash returns safer and better than from cotton. So good is his sweet potato record that ho has won prizes three years in the state contest, first prize in 1931, with Nancy Halls. Curing in a regulation sweet potato house and grading well, Green finds ready sales chiefly on the Spartanburg market at a safisfactory premium over the regular market price. His Hueheated hotbed is his source of plants, with thousands for general sale. "Big^F.d" Clary lias gone so far down the live-at-home road that tie, has grown no cotton for two years, making his needs on the farm first consideration and relying for cash on! sales of miscellaneous farm and dairy products. He sells some grain and garden truck?e. g., a bund reckdollars worth of cherries from 30 trees, thirty dollars worth of strawberries from a small plot, six dollars worth' of butter and buttermilk per week from two cows. Snow fell in northern Argentina on Saturday, for the first time in years at this season of the year. Capudine | iPAlJi, "becauseI It civcs relief by soothing nerves ? not deadening . them.

H JONKS, Councillor Recording Secty, EYES EXAMINED and Glasses Fitted : THE HOFFER COMPANY Jewelers and Optometrists ^' .v - Good Farming Hints For July Attention Opinion College, July 2.?Important suggestion* ror guidance of bua/ farmers in July are given by R. W. Hamilton, agronomist; K. H. Rawl, horticulturist; Alfred Lutkcn, entomologist; and J. T. McAlister, agricultural engineer. Agronomy?-When Held w o r k slacks up, haul in grain straw, leaves swamp grass and other litter for the compost heap. Sow peas, soybeans, or velvet beans now and they will make growth to turn under for soil building. If old corn is not so good, it is not too late to plant more. Horticulture?Remove ull broken and diseased limbs from fruit trees immediately after harvesting. Full sweet corn shortly before meal time; it loses its sugar rapidly. Place the fruits and vegetables in the shade at once after harvesting, to hold their quality. Plant second crop Irish potatoes, preferably Lookout Mountain. Dig tulips and other bulbs, dry them out, and plant again in late September. Insects and Diseases?Control tomato insects and disease with Bordeaux-lead arsenute spray. Remove and burn corn plants infected with smut. Examine banded apple tj#eii every ten days and destroy codling moth larvae. Dust cotton with calcium arsenate when boll woovll infestation has reached ten per cent. Transfer and requeen bees. Agricultural Engineering?Begin construction now on trench silo to be ready when silage is ripe. Repair and construct needed farm buildings. Plan to install water system and other farm conveniences. Continue the two-horse cultivator, setting sweeps for shallow cultivation. Investigate possibilities of utilizing the small streams for irrigating gardens and truck projects. Recondition dusting machinery for poisoning weevils. Animal Husbandry?Avoid heat prostration by water and shade for hpgs. Keep pigs on some green forage, preferably a legume,. Push pigs furrowed after the middle of March so they may be marketed before the drop in price. Avoid parasites by keeping the hogs on uninfested territory. Change cattle pastures every two or three weeks, to control parasites and increase the carrying capacity of the land. Give well bred calves, intended for baby beef, grain ih addition to pasture. Wean the late lambs now so that the ewes will breed for early lambs next spring. Dairying?Mow pastures frequently_-the mowing machine is the best permanent pasture implement made. Destroy breeding places for flies, and use skim-milk formaldehyde (three gallons to one pint of formaldehyde) in shallow pans to kill (lies. As milk production begins to fall off on pasture. supplement with balanced grain mixture to hold normal milk th?w. Feed up to two pounds of gram daily to growing -1oek to maintain normal growth. If producing cream tor! market, keep cream container in bar- | roI or tirb iTCxrsfft^WTo or spnng~war" ter. If retail milk producer with a surplus at this season, dry off all low-producing cows that are bred for fall freshening. Poultry?Keep mash before laying hen? as this help" ^o keep tneir -bodies cool and stimulatesegg production. Reduce feed cost bv culling hens not laying and not taking feed away from the whole group. Keep a grain feed before the pullets and don't start feeding a laying mash until the birds are at least five months old. To do so earlier will ' stimulate the pullets into egg production before they are mature which will result in small eggs.

Mrs. Neville Bennett, of Bennetts- ! ville. wife of the chairman of the last j appropriations committee of the . South Carolina house of representa-! tives. announced the vote of this state' on the last ar.d deciding ballot of the J Chicago convention. Mrs. David C.! Coker, of Hartsville, carried the state i stamlard in the jubilation after the' nomination of Roosevelt, and prev- j iously won applause by making a j speech only a dozen words long at 4 j o'clock in the morning of the long night session. Cotton Products Urged By Labor Columbia, June 2t>. The South Carolina Federation of I^bor yesterday threw Us strength behind the movement for an increased consumption of cotton products when at Its annual convention in this city it adopted resolutions calling upon the people of the state to use cotton pro^ ducts in every conceivable way. V The resolution as submitted by thd resolutions committee cited numer-' ous specific instances in which the consumption of cotton might be increased and commend? heartily the effort# of the association for the increased use of cotton to bring about this increase. The resolution adopted by the convention was as follows: -Whereas, There is a tremendous surplus of cotton brought over from last year to which will be added this fall the crop produced this year; and -Whereas, tye recognize that unless there is a greatly increased demand for wotton products that many othors who are now only earning enough to meet the bare necessities of life may bo thrown entirely out of work and our farmers may have to take starvation prices for their cotton this fall, if indeed they can sell it at any price, thereby bringing further disaster to the South: *Jld -Whereas, We recognize that only through united and prompt action on the part of all existing agencies can the necessity of using cotton products in every conceivable way bo brought before the people; therefore be it -Resolved further, That we urge the wearing of cotton suits, undeiwear, hose and ties by the men; cotton dresses and lingerie by the women; the purchasing of all flour, sugar, salt, food and feedstuff# in cotton sacks by the public and the purchasing by the wholesale produce dealers of all of their potatoes, onions, cabbage and other products in j cotton bags; the use of cotton sheets, j towels, napkins, bedspreads, talble- j cloths, etc., by all of our hotels and public institutions and in the homes, of the South; the use of cotton covering in the curing of concrete in the; construction of highways; the purchasing of cotton twine by the post office department and by cotton compresses oil mills and other large ! users of twine; the u#e of cotton fab- ^ ric in the construction of highways; the use of cotton bagging for the wrapping of cotton and the adoption of standard uniforms made of cotton materials for the public schools of < the state. -Resolved further, That we urge every man and woman in the state to throw their full influence "behind the campaign for the increased consumption of cotton products to the end that thousands of workers in our -late may return to their posts, our farmers may at least get the cost >( production for their cotton and that better times may prevail within oui cil 1-ii -Resolved further, That we commend most heartily the efforts of the association for the Increased Use of Cotton, which is endeavoring to arouse the people of the South to the necessity for prompt action along this line." Former Governor Richards says he is terribly disappointed at the action of the Soubh Carolina delegation at the Chicago convention voting dripping wet for outright repeal of the 18th amendment and added: "The very action of the South Carolina delegation disappointed me very much in view of its failure to abide by the wish of the state convention that the campaign issues be confined to ec on* omic problems which are really more important for the welfare of the pe<<ple."

There is no charge for these letters and farm people who are interested in having bettor gardens and all-yea^ gardens will find the letters of niudb benefit, f It is very important that our peoj pie produce their living at home and j the home garden is one of the moat J important factors in keeping, down expenses and at the same time providing good food for the people. Too many of our people havo^thought^ heretofore that the garden is a spring and summer affair, while as a matter of fact a real garden should supply vegetables throughout tho entire year and never be abandoned. Every farm family in Kershaw county should also possess Extension Bulletin No. 72 entitled "Vegetable Gardening." This bulletin deals in | various ways on the production of practically all of our vegetables, It tells how to raise many vegetables which we have been overlooking. It describes various insects and diseases which attack our vegetables and tolls definitely what to use to contrql such insects and diseases. It also contains tables showing the recommended variety of each vegetable, the time of year each vegetable may be used from the garden. For instance: in this connection, on page 29, the table indicates that salsify or vegetable oyster may be used from the garden during September, October, November, December, January, February and the first part of March. There are about 13 vegetables which may be used from the garden during the w inter months. There are charts j showing thg quantity of seed require ed for family of six, the distance apart for rows of each vegetable and the number in a row and the depth to plant the seed. Also a chart shows the quantity of seed required for a given number of plants. Another chart shows the germination per centago and life of various vegetable seeds. This is important because many farmers who keep seed over from one year to the other should know whether they will germinate the second year and some vegetables will not germinate after the first year. Another chart shows when to plant seed for transplanted crop in the hot bed and when to transplant the plants to the oq^i ground. Still another chart shows when to plant the various crops in the open ground. Your taxes have paid for this bulletin, for the monthly garden letter and for any assistance your county agent can render you. Let's use' these agencies more and more is the advice of Henry D. Green, the county agent. Misdirected Irate Master (to negro -servant: Bast us, I thought I told you to get a domestic turkey.

Hot Prospect A letter was sent to a rich manufacturer in the state demanding $50,000 or otherwiso his wife would be | kidnapped. Through an'error the letter was delivered to a poor laborer of the eame name, who replied: MI ain't got no money, but I'm interested in your proposition."
