[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

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."

Fear ^
In the pnsrt two or three yea'f* the
people of the United States have been
the prey of a new kind of fear. They
have been afraid that, in the popular
phrase, "the bottom had dropped out
of everything:." They have feared
that never ag$in would the? have a
job, that the factories that have shut
down would never start up, that they
would never be able to sell the products
of their farms?those and a

relation to common sense or reality
