Farm Orchards To Be Stressed This Year In our effort to further develop a self-sustaining or live-at-hom? program of agriculture in Kershaw county .we plan to emphasize thi? fall the importance of having a good farm orchard. Every farm should have a home orchard to provide fruits, berries, etc., for home use. Fruits of somo kind may be produced on practically every farm in the county. ,? Probubly the greatest handicap to having successful orchards in Kershaw county is the fact that these orchards have not been properly cared for. They have been badly, neglected in the matter of spraying, pruning, fertilizing und cultivating. Those interested in developing a good farm orchard are requested to see or write the county agent at an early date, also to obtain a copy of Extension Bulletin No. 80, "The Farm Orchard." It would be u good idea to use a little of the cotton money this fall I to purchase apme orchard trees which are very inexpensive this season. Your county agent will be glad to assist you in this connection, offers Henry I). Green, the county agent.

Most of the money was in old style currency in denomination* from $1 to $500. KanoparSj earned it by selling little pies for five cents each on Chicago streets for 50 years. Police found the money in Kanopars' pockets when they arrested him for peddling his pies without a license. He was too poor, he insisted, to pay for a permit. He bought a license.

In the first ehukker the Blues made two goals in rapid succession only to have the score tied in the third. These polo games are thq first ever played in South Carolina between two complete teams made up exclusively of local players. Back in 1900 polo was started in Camden by a group of local players and the teams produced in those days made polo his* tory. To many old players the names of Will Salmond, K. G. Whistler, Dalton Kennedy, Sam Russell, Sidney Smith, Iverwis Ctyburn, Pete Johnson and James Team are familiar. In the intervening years the local plnyers took a decreasing part in the Camden polo activity until this group of enthusiastic young horsemen staged the Current revival which has commanded wide interest ami support riot only .from Camden but from the entire state.

Short opening exerciser will be held, aflt'1 which the students and teachers will enter their daily schedules. 'lhe same text books will be used as last year with a few exceptions in the high school where there will be necessary to make some changes in the courses to meet the state requirements. - ' , V On account of this very likely being a short session and school is opening late, parents are urged to get their children in school the Urst ! day, and if not the first day just as sopn as possible. The teachers are asking the cooperation of the parents 'to get nine months work completed within the limited time (if short term is necessary on account of lack of funds). . For the first time probably in the history of the school the same faculty is returning as last y?ar. Siiice overybody will be well acquainted with each other, there is no reason why this shoukl not be one of the best years. The teachers will cdpsist of Miss Adele Holman", Cameron,. A.

With the tie mentions shrinkage in income the farmer cannot afford to neglect the care and use of farm manure aa an important factor in more economic yield**, say? K. W. Hamilton, extend sion agronomist, who paints out in* cidentally that South Carolina's crop values'' showed a shrinkage from $140,744,000 in 1920 to *71,214,000 in 193d. Mr. Hamilton has prepared, and the Extension Service has published Bulletin 92, "Farm Manures," as a means of leading farmers back to proper consideration of this neglected farm resource. The bulletin may be had free fronj county agents and from the Publications Division at Clemson College. In his plea for more attention to livestock and livestock maifuree in the cycle of replenishing the soil, Mr. Hamilton say?, "Only a small part of the essential elements of food are retained by the animal and nature intends that the residue be used again to grow more plants to feed succeeding animals." Discussing effects of manure on soil Mr. Hamilton stresses these physical, chemical, biological and bacteriological benefits: Hard, tight clay soils^are made easy to cultivate and easier for plant roots to penetrate, and'distribution of water is made more uniform. Loose sandy soils are made more cohesive and water-holding capacity is grently increased. * Nitrogen, phosphorus and potash are added to the soil. The so-called minor, but .often very important, plant foods?magnesium, manganese, calcium, etc.?are also increased in the soil. Decay of the organic matter sets up chemical reactions that cause various plant food? in the soil to become more available. The colloidal content of the soil is increased, a fact which is very important on light soils. Beneficial bacteria of decay are introduced into the soil. These bacteria work on insoluble organic matter and cause plant food to become available. Favoring conditions for many desirable strains of soil bacteria are created. Conditions, for the efficient use of chemical fertilizers are greatly improved. ? " l' Curing Sweet Potatoes In Tobacco Barns Easy Clemson College. Sept. 10.?In the Pee Dee section of the state tobacco barns can be used profitably with the expenditure of very little cash to save our valuable sweet potato crop, says Iv H. Rawl, extension horticulturist. Mr. Rawl points out that usually about 50.000 acres of sweet potatoes are planted in South Carolina- each year; that from our total annual production only two or three hundred cars are shipped; and that after about mid-winter the bulk of the crop has rotted largely because of improper storage" practices, thus creating a serious economic loss. This crop deserves to be harvested, cured and stored properly, because of its importance as food for man and beast in late winter and qarly spring, and also because in early spring good cured sweet potatoes usually sell for very satisfactory prices. To illustrate this latter fact Mr. Rawl states that last fall sweet potatoes sold as low as 25 to .'50 cents per bushel, while during the following spring there were strong local demands for cured sweets at 75 cents to $1.00 per bushel. During the past spring many unemployed, hungry, farm laborers were glad to accept sweet potatoes as compensation for work, and some farmers actually were able to pay for labor in this manner. Farmers who have good tobacco barns and are growing sweet potatoes are advises! by Mr. Rawl to get ,r,jfruct:cr.c from the:,' ?,ljr on how to use such bams in curing and storing sweet potatoes. The F.xport Leaf Tobacco plant at Petersburg, Ya., closed for a year, has been reopened and gives employment to 100. Reopened tobacco plants at Petersburg in the recent past are employing 2.000 people. Two Arkansas hoys arrived at a college at Ru-se'.lville on Tuesday with their own plans of paying their way through school. They had a: truck loaded with their capital, including two cow?, two pigs, .10 chick-! ens. They made arrangements with a family for rouin and board in exthango for milk, butter, pork and eggs. At Rockingham. N. C., Tuesday, 750 employes of the Hannah Pickett cotton mills went out on a strike. It is the first strike in Rockingham mills in its textile history of 97 years. Anderson county had a recount,of the ballots cast last week for sheriff, one solon, and county commissioner, owing to the closeness of the figures on the first official returns. Important Farm Bulletin One of the most valuable bulletins for our farmers that I have seen recently is Extension Bulletin No. 92, entitled "Farm Manures." Mr. R. W. Hamilton, extension agronomist) from Clemson College is the author.: It is very practical and important and I will open the eyes of the farmers as they haye not been for a long time. By all means get your copy of this bulletin 92. Your county agent has a supply on hand and will give or send to anyone requesting fame. The subject of farm manrires has become so important that we have arranged to get Mr. Hamilton to come to Camden to help us conduct a meeting concerning farm manures, and "every farmer in the county ,yho is. interested in bettering his condition, lowering the cost of crop production, building up has soil, and making more' net profit is urged to attend this msotir.g which is to be held in the court house Tuesday, September 27,^ at 10:30 a. m.
