Craig, our efficient home demonstration agent, presented the county plan of work for 1932-33. She enumerated a number of factors enrolled in determining the plan of work. In order to meet the present needs the food and clothing program will be given. This includes a poultry and conservation program, the canning of meats during the fall and winter months and fruits and vegetables during the spring and summer months. All the cpuncil members Cover Crops Boon In Building up Soil Thirty thousand pounds of Au?? trian peas and much v^Wh have already been ordered this season for j Kershaw county farmers for soil im- | prove mont, says Henry D. Green. , county farm agent, largely as a result of successful tests by farmers following extension service suggestions. The growth of this soil-building practice is indicated in Mr. Green's figures showing an increase from 12,000 pounds of Austrian peas so used in 1030 and 10,000 pounds in 1031 to this year's remarkable figure. Illustrating the value of Austrian pens to build up soils Mr. Green quotes a statement made by B. 1). Boykin, prominent Kershaw farmer, in ordering several thousand pounds of seed this fall. "There is nothing as essential to successful farming as a good cover crop of Austrian peas and vetch. I havo planted my lands for the past four years in cover crops, which have brought the production of my lands j up 40 per cent. ' "lq' the spring of 1932.1 plowed under a beautiful Austrian pea cover crop. I have part of this in corn 1 and part in cotton. The com crop ) was severely hurt by the July drought but owing to the humus in the land it held up better than the average in the community. Tho cotton was planted ? the first week in April, some with no fertilizer and some with 200 pounds of acid, meal and potash mixture. During the summer I used 70 pounds of sulphate of ammonia on certain j parts of my cotton and as yet have been unable to tell by (the growth where I did not use any. During the drought in July my cotton did not stop growing and kept its color and the shedding was at a minimum. "At a cost of $2.25 per acre, including seed and labor, I figure that I will receive $10.00 to $15.00 in re- ^ turn. At the present price of cotton I have come to the conclusion that it is the best and safest fertilizer a man can use." Other instances of success with cover crops mentioned by Mr. Green include these: "Paul Brown, Camden, R. P. D., states that he would not have had any corn this year had it not been ^r thc^iratch of "corn "that followed , last year's vetch. His other corn was, practically a failure. Henry Savage, j Sr., Camden, R. F. D., states thai he. will make approximately 50 bushels of corn per acre following Austrian peas where his other corn is practically a total loss." Two youths and two girls were acquitted in 15 minutes at Florence, on an indictment for murder by. the death of an old man, Southern Parrott,' whom they hit with an automobUe on the last day of April. One of the girls was the driver. The arrests were made six weeks after the accident, following an investigation by a state constable. The quartet After hitting Parrott, stopped, went back and found him dead, and then went away, agreeing not to tell about it. They said at the trial that this was to prevent injury to the father of the driving girl who was seriously sick at the time. Greenville county had collected over $335,000 to Saturday evening, of 1932 taxes, usually paid in December or Inter, by virtue of giving 3 per cent discount for payment in October. will cooperate with Miss Craig in putting this program across. Mrs. W. C. West, Publicity Chairman L Fall Time To Check Car Says Tire Dealer "The wise motorist will see that he is not caught unprepared by a sudden cold snap," said Mr. J. C. Gillis of the City Filling Station. "Fall weather is so changeable that oven though you start out on a trip in fine weathey, you may come buck through sleet or snow; and then is when you need non-skid on your tires. "Tires are so low in price now that it is impractical to risk life ami property tryipg to run out the last mile. Based on the present selling price, the last thousand miles in a 4.75-19 tire is worth only 43 tents. Whdn you drive with smooth tires you are gambling 43 cents against your life apd your family's. . You may only need safe tires for one _ second of your life, but if that second comes while you are travelling 60 miles an hour?88 feet per second?safe tires mean life itself. The extra traction and safety Firestone tires was recently demonstrated on the salt beds near Salt Lake City, when Ab Jenkins drove a Firestone-equipped Pierce-Arrow car 2,710 miles in 24 hours over a circular 10-?mile course ?an average speed of 112.91 miles per hour?breaking all existing world records. "Fall should be the time for a general check-up of the car," continued Mr. Gillis. "The battery soon will be called upon to turn over a motor stiff from cold, and lights will be burning for longer hours. The generator charging rate should be advanced and the battery inspected to make sure there are no weak cells that might fail when you need them most. Spark plugs also need adjusting for hard "winter starting, and radiator hose connections should bo inspected sa that you will not waste anti-freeze solution or alcohol. "If the motorist checks his tires, battery, brakes, spark plugs and radiator hose, he can rest assured that he will have safe, trouble free winter driving." Miss Mary Carol Byers, of Gaftney, was married the other day to Harold Griffin, of Chapel Hill, N. C., a tobacco company executive at Istanbul, which used to be named Constantinople, Turkey. A large number of the American colony on the Bosphorus attended the wedding: at the home of Franklin W. Bell. Both Lancaster and Berkeley counties are to elect probajte judges at the November election, to 'fill vacancies caused by the resignation of the incumbents effective <next January. Judge Richards of Lancaster resigned to become congressman from this district. O .. .
