[Preserve The Trees Advises Garden Club Tha following suggestion* lira offered by member? of the Camden Garden Club a? mean? to preserve the beautiful tree? of our city; Trees, both young and old, need special care just at this tipie, if they are not to bet injured or die from lack of attention during the intense heat of the summer. A tree uses up the' moisture it has stored, within its roots and so needs special caro to renew this moisture so as to continue growing. It is advised that new shoots around the tree trunk be cut off with a sharp knife, so that the strength can go into the main body of the tree. Water young trees until their roots get established. Keop a hollowed out space around the roof%, to conserve what moisture is given the tree. Bnrieh the ?oil as new growth demand? feeding the roots and a tree's roots correspond with the spreading of lis branches. I .While your attention 1? on trees, why not also think of planting crepe myrtle tree?, they are easy to make grow and soon' make a beautiful show, with their long willowy branches laden with flowers. Uf you have not Been the ones planted by Mr. W. T. Stewart in front of his home in Brevard Place, a treat i? in store for you. Their beautiful color and graceful branches loaded with lovely, flowers of pink. These trees stand dry weather remarkably well and are little affected by intense heat, so in that respect it would be a good plant to put out, one to enjoy during the hot summer months, when other flowers are so scarce. It is requested and urged that each home owner of Camden take more interest in the trees on his premises and in front of his residence, thereby keeping intact and preserving for future generations the beauty of the town. Poultrymen Of State Want Law Enforced tClomson College, July 18.?The South Carolina Poultry Improvement Association, at its recent annual meeting in Columbia, endorsed the j present state law governing the sale of eggs, and, feeing that rigid enforcement otf the law would result in greater profit to producers and greater satisfaction to consumers, appointed a committee to present the matter to the proper committees of the next legislature. Officers elected for the following year were: F. T. Waddill, Oheraw, president; R. P. Gillespie, Hartsville, vi<je-president; H. G. Seawright, Pendleton,' secretary; and R. K. Frick, Spartanburg, treasurer. T. S. Ram- J sny, Calhoun, J. G. Wofford, Harts-j ville, and Y. T. Dick^rt, Newberry, were elected on the board of direct-1 ors. Miss Juanita Neely, poultry | specialist, of Wiqthrop College, was elected ex-officio member of the ex-, ecutive board. P. H. Gooding, extension poultryman who helped with the program, reports a good attendance of poultry producers and hatcherymen and excellent discussions of various phases of the poultry industry. i A Courageous St?nd The state department of the American Legion took a very comrmend! able view of two important matters before the state convention in Aiken j ear-politician? also are demanding payment with such as that which characterized many of them when they were in the trenches in 1918, theformer service men turned thumbs down on payment otf the oa?h bonus and denounced the- practice of the federal government in connection with, retired officers. "v The first matter wtnr that a resolution which provided instruction of the | state's delegation to the national conI vention to cast SoQth uarohna's vole i for the cash bonus. The resolution' ' received an unfavorable report at the | hands of the resolutions committee 'and the committee's report was unI animously adopted by th^eonvention. J The resolutions committee obviously td&k th6" View that the federal government is in no position at this time to make payment to former service men of the bonus many feel are due, and that such payment would undoubtedly emdanger the disabled veteran and his widow and children who are entitled to relief by the jgovernment. The committee also figured, we imagine, that the passing out of a few hundred dollars tp each former service man would not bring permanent relief for theae men. While thousands of veterans of the World War are clamoring for payment of the bonus, and many hope to ride into office on the votes of the bonuaer?, the state department courageously turned thumb? down.?Anderson Record. * J We in*^ihimdaUtea/ P ' ' ? -l* Hog Market Outlook Is Somewhat Better Cleiu&on College, July 18.?<So far ue the supply is concerned the outlook for the fall hog market is somewhat better than that of last year, thinks O. M. Clark, extension agricultural economist: First, becaiyw the number of pigs saved this spring as indicated by., the June pig survey is about seven per cent4 less than last spring, secondly, because there has been a considerable reduction in the number of hogs and pigs ruised in the principal European hog-producing countries. iCold storage holdings of all pork were on June 1 live per cent less than last year and three per cent smaller than the five-year averago; stocks of lard were 25 per cent larger than last^yoar but eight percent under the fiVb-year June 1 average, he aaya. "The number of hogs slaughtered kinder federal inspection during the first nine months .of the marketing year beginning October 1, 11*31, was 6.5 per cent greater than for the conresponding period of the previo?|?^g crop," Mr. Clark continues. "The peak of the market movement was reached in May. The June slaughter was slightly larger than that of last year but 13.5 per cent less than the five-year June average. From the peak period supplies of hogs usually decline until about the second week in September when the spring pig crop begins to move. The far rowings the past spring were somewhat earlier than the spring before, hence hogs may stai*t moving a little earlier than last fall; but, if the July 1 estimate of corn production materializes, feed will bo plentiful and hogs mfty be fed somewhat longer. The number of hogs now on hand to be marketed is apparently larger than, that of the same date last year." Explaining that the present demand for hog products is weak because of the reduced buying power of consumers, and that any improvement is dependent largely upon improvement in the consumers' power to purchase, Mr. Clark concludes: "While the country as a whole showed a decrease in the number of pigs raised, South Carolina showed a 10 per cent increase over last spring and 34 per cent increase over the spring of 1030. South Carolina, being a deficit state with respect to j hog products, this increase in pig I numbers-in the face of a national decrease was a change in the right direction economically."
