denies of the establishment of a hew
ocornnme .order. Their response has
been prompt and generous, as revealed
by reports of a widespread
trend back to normal buying habits,
" oapecia.ly among farmers. Compelled
by the adverse conditions of
recent years to buy sparingly, at the
cheapest price, and without regard
to quality, farmers are hfcing greatly
encouraged to find that in many lines,
quali y merchandise is offered at
prices well within their ability to
pay. An example is to be found' in
the case of* Chilean" natural nitrate,
a fertil.fcor of south-wide importance
which bus been used in the United
States for more than 100 years. In
this easep farmors- can satisfy their
' preference for a high. standard of
halanrrd quality without paying anything
extra for it, even though the
presence of a number of valuable impurities
in the natural nitrate gives
it a po it ion of distinguished fcacftuaeas
among the rather large number
of other " materials, not of natural
origin.

similar instances of improved condition!?

TIIF. RAILROADS AND HOBOS
Tramps Now Taken Care of In govern
tent Camps and Kept off Cars
January 1 was the date set by official
of railroads to commence restrictive
measures against "hopping
freight-." "riding the rods" and other
methods by which persons use the
railroads for free transportation.
At the request of Harry L; Hopkm-,
director of the federal emergency
relief-, administration, the railroads
withheld such measures until
a nation.wide network of about 20C
oen ers for the care of the transient
unemployed could be established.
Euc hues for shelter, feeding med
. ica. attention and other forms of relief
are pretty well qstablisliec
throughout the country on a workrelief
basis. Several millions of dollars
were allotted for this purpose
by the relief administration in accordance
with the stipulation of the
federal emergency relief act of 19.13
in which congress specifically provided
for the care of transient unem.
ployed.
All administrators of state emergency
relief administrations and state
directors of transient relief activities
are asked to place conspicuous placards
in all relief shelters, in railroad
yards, police stations and at other
points where transient^ gather so that
they might he informed of the restrictions.
The relief officials are authorized tc
consult with railroad police officials

and the relationship of sources of fti'come
to adequacy- .
As to cash income, M.v Frayser
i notes, the records show an average of$544.45
per family per year, or
$121.45 per person, available for all
needs. WhefO incomes were Adequate
they were usually derived in part
from some other occupation than
i farming. While this average income j
1 is small for family needs, the aver- <
age total expenditure was well with- i
in the average income. Savings were <

From the cash income 1-1.4 per cent ?

[The foregoing statement appears on
the unique shield of the famous
Koosevelt family. It is certainly

Franklin Delano Roosevelt,

reforestation program in New

Reforestation program, Kmer|
gency Conservation Work,
j Millions of forest trees will be
planted during the period of this Na
tionnl Conservation Project through
out the country. The forest tree
planting season is here in South (,ar,
lolina. More than one million acres
;!of farm land have been abandoned
; within the state within the last ten
s | years. This great acreage of idle
i lands, mostly worn out, Is at least
- i suitable for . timber growing. Land
: owners, plot forest tree seedlings on
'those idle acres! Crow timber on
II those idle lands and make them pay
I their taxes and derive a new revenue!
; Forest tree seedlings ure offered
for sale only where it is thought that
thuy will jiot come up naturally,
| where eroded lands are in need of
1 ' covering in order to retain the soil,
and where a more valuable species is
desired on the part of the landowner.
i The following inventory of the
State Forest Tree Nursery .indicates
the trees most available for distribu!
tion during'the winter of 1933-1934:Long
leaf, 00,025; slash, 145,444); lob
lolly, 95,700; shortleaf, 99,930; black
locust, 55,200; ash, 6,552; walnut,
2,530.
These seedlings are sold at cost,
the price being $3.00 per thousand
in lots of less than 25,000, and $2.50
' per thousand in lots over 25,000.
Both prices are quoted delivered to
' the nearest post office or express of
lice. Planting recommendations are
1,000 per acre. The planting season
' will extend to about March, depend4
ing on weather conditions. Further
" information on forest tree planting
} j can be obtained by addressing the

' : of production and planted as commer*'ciul
plantings. Of the remainder 58,

'c The above figures represent an in
crease of 13 per cent in the number
of planters who purchased seedlings
8 over the preceding year, and the numr
her of seedlings represents an increase
of 20.2 per cer.t over the seeds

The Emergency Conservation Workwill
in no small manner put our forest
lands in a healthier condition for
I. conservation use. Let us here in

Work Stock Scarce;
Advancing In Price
( l.mson Gollego, Jan. fl.~?Thmt
work animals are most certain to advance
$20 to $10 per head between
now and April is the prediction of
Wayno Pinsmore, secretary of the
Horse Association of America, who
states that horses and mules are
scarce and advancing in price.
"Those who expect to buy work
animals between now and spring will
do well, therefore, to buy as soon as
possible and get the animals in the
Held before it is too late," advises
lyof. I.. V. Starkey, chief of animal
husbandry at Glemson College.- " I he
scarcity of mule, power in South
Carolina will make it necessary to i
use every opportunity to get the
WQrk under way at the earliest posii>Iv*
dale. Heavy losses" are' frequently
caused by overworking and i
overfeeding when the spring work be- i
gins." ' .. 1
Because of a shortage of money it i
will be necessary to make maximum \
Use of old mules and young, mules,
and Mr. Starkey cautions that special 1
care be given to young mules. They <
may be shedding teeth and unable to I
eat as well as mature animals, They !
need to be hitched to do light work i
giving the mature mules the heavy :
duty.
"Collars should lir and harness
should be properly adjusted. Feeding
three times a day is better than
feeding ,twice," the specialist continues.
"Roughage should be given 25
per cent morning,. 25 per cent noon
and 50 per cent night. Old mules
with bad teeth should be fed ground
feed. Mules should be waterod before
and after feeding. At night the
shoulder* should bo bathed with salt
water, which has healing and toughening
properties. Curry comb and
brush should be used thoroughly each
morning."

Heartiest New Year Greetings!
Having passed through the troubled year of 1933, without embarrassment or j
interruption of business, we naturally feel that our customers have implicit confidence
in our Bank, knowing that we always keep in liquid condition, therefore
they are indifferent about the Insurance feature, so far as we are concerned. However
the new Banking law gives them this added security, and for their information we
append copy of Insurance notice. ... . -j
