I farmers Visit Sandhill Station A group of approximately 250 <rmers of Kershaw Couhty made a our to the Sandhill Experiment Staion near Pontiac Thursday, Sepember 13. The farmers were from iractically every section of Kershaw lounty. Also the agricultural teachts of the county cooperated by bringag a number of their students. * The tour was arranged through the ooperation of ,Supt. J. A. Riley of he Experiment 'Station and Henry ). Green, County Agent. Kershaw lounty is the only county having a ?roup of farmers visit the Sandhill itation this year. | Many of those present were heard lo express unusual satisfaction at (hat they learned. Some of the chief Joints of interest were in connection Bith potash and magnesium de-ficBncies, especially in our light type Br sandy soils. These studies were Bade both in connection with corn, Button, Austrian ?eas, Crotalaria and ays. It was obvious that practicalB all of our crops must have magBesium and potash for their success, Ais being especially true in the case If corn, cotton and peas. The majAejium is supplied by use of Dolomit lime. However, where lime is used lis necessary to increase the amount potash slightly. The check plots Ahich received no magnesium, DoloAitic lime, or potash were practical Ailures in each case. Crotalaria was Ae only crop studied which did not Ao\ya real need for fertilizer of any fid. Many kinds of Crotalaria were Bserved. but the two principal varieAes giving the greatest success are Aotalaria Spectabilis and Crotalaria Ariatu. It is a significant fact that ershaw county is now leading CroAlaria county in the two Carolinas. Studies being made in nitrogen or Anmonia and phosphorous deficiencA were also especially enlightening. Unusually valuable information was Btten with respect to the placement fertilizer in comparison to the cotBn seed at planting. Best results ere obviously obtained by huving Be fertilizer placed by use of modern Bstributors in two bands below and B the side of the seed. In this way Be tender tap root of the cotton does B>t penetrate into a concentrated apBcation of fertilizer as.; is the case B the old system where the farmei Bplied his fertilizer and planted diB on top. Many farmers have Bserved their cotton come up to a Bod stand and in a few days turr Bllow and much of it dies, this be m due to the fact that the tap root Bd struck the fertilizer which prov c*ust:o and ruinous lo the tendei Bp root. B^robahly the best way b apply Bte to tnp soil is to mix it in the commercial fertilizer (preferably home mix) at the rate of 200 to 300 pounds of Dolomitic lime per acre. Austrian Peas and Vetch are almost certain to prove complete fail-' ures if planted on light sandy soil without lime. Dolomitic lime being preferable because it contains the much needed magnesium. ' *l> The farmers wero very much interested in the Tesults of sweet potatoes experiments wherein it was established that the best results with sweet potatoes on light soil are obtained by the use of a high percentage of potash, the best mixture probably 'being 800 to 1,000 pounds of a 4-4-12. One of the most outstanding features of the entire inspection was the fact that the best crops as a rule were obtained where Crotalaria or Austrian Peas or Vetch had been turned under as a legume cover crop. Many Kershaw County farmers are following closely the results of experiments at the Sandhill Station and are finding it very profitable. This is being shown in a concrete way in the increase during the past B years of summer and winter legume cover crops being used by the farmers of , this county, and especially by the inj crease in yields or crops which follow Crotalaria, Austrian Peas, or Vetch where the legume cover crop, has been turned .under. A number of our farmers are making extra large yields of corn and cotton and grain this year without the use of ' any commercial nitrate at all. This is an important two-way benefit to the farmer because he saves the cost of the expensive commercial nitrogen, 1 increases the yield of his crop, makes ' a greater net profit, builds up his soil ; by adding large amounts of humus and nitrogen which humus improves the condition of his soil, causes it to darken in color, thereby warming up earlier in the spring and improving ' the consistency of the soil so that it I will not wash and leach as much as ; heretofore, and the humus also acts as a sponge in absorbing large quant> ities of water which is essential in ' keeping crops growing during severe i droughts. Farmers of Kershaw coun1 ty are planting more Austrian Peas r and Vetch this fall than ever before, i The valuable work being done at the Sandhill Experiment, Station under > the direction of Supt. Riley and his staff of efficient scientifically train ed co-workers is being appreciated i more and more by the farmers of i Kershaw County. It is impossible, i however, to appreciate what is being done at the station without making t a firsthand inspection. It is a farm ers' institution and nil that the farm" er is requested to do is to go to th,e station and study the experiments r and results says Henry D. Green, ; County^Agent. ?Bg??g?C??CTf Georgia Sends Talmadge Back Atlanta, Sept. 12.?Judge Claude Pittman, chief opponent of Gov. Kugene Talmadge for re-election in today's Democratic primary, tonight reluctantly conceded that Talmadge had been renominated.-' In a statement issued from his home at Cartersville, Judge Pittman said: I "Consolidation of returns from the larger, precincts will increase my showing, but returns from over the state indicate Governor Talniadgo's nomination. To my faithful friends i wish to offer thanks for their unselfish support." Talmadge was leading in 131 counties and Pittman held a lead in five counties. If later returns bore out the end, theso counties would give Talmadge 830 county unit vqtoa and Pittman 22. Under the Georgia election system, similar to the national electoral college plan, 200 county unit votes are required for election. Pittman held a slight lead in Meriwether county, home of the Warm Springs foundation where President Roosevelt has visited often. He also was leading in metropolitan Fulton county (Atlanta) and Clark, DeKalb and Pulaski counties. Judge Claude Pittman W Cartersville, who had attacked Talmadge's administration roqord and criticized him for opposition to "New Deal" policies, was trailing in the popular vote and was still further behind on a county basis. Ed Gilliam, Atlanta alderman, appeared to t?e entirely out of the race. Close Race In Sumter In the official recount of ballots in the race for county superintendent of education W. O. Cain, incumbent, led his opponent, Mr. R. S. Mellette, by three votes. The official vote as declared by the county executive committee, was: Cain, 2,247; Mellette, 2,244. This was possibly the closest balloting ever recorded in Sumter county for any office.?Sumter Herald.

Negro Boy Killed On Golf Course. - - ? i J union Wright, 18-year-old negro j golf caddie, was instantly killed und j Hugh C, llaynesworth, prominent lo-1, oal attorney, was slightly shocked by . a boil of lightning that struck them ( i on the Sunset Country club course | shortly after 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. ' Wright was caddying for Luther , Wimberly, who was playing golf with Mr. Haynaworth. When the lightn- ( ing struck Wright and Mr. Wimberly were about 40 feet from Mr. Hayna- ( worth and hus caddy! It was not raining at the time, but had been , raining a short time before and tho ( I sky was clouding up again for . an- ( other shower, ' Mr. Haynaworth was in the rough on the fourth hole looking for his ball and was knocked Hat by tho volt, which appauently struck him on his right knee and went oi^t; through his foot. No marks were found on the caddy, but a hole was scorched in his felt hat. Mr. Wimberly was not injured, but the club he was holding in his hand was knocked from his grasp. Wright was brought to the Tuomey Hospital, but examination disclosed that he apparently was killed instantly. Mr. Haynsworth suffered no bad after effects from his experience except for soreness in his leg.?Thursday's Sumter Item. 1 At Phoenix, Ariz, 200 agitators picketing federal emergency relief quarters were routed by the police who used night sticks and tear gas ' bombs; while the agitators fought back with rocks and pick handles. The agitators demand more relief, asking for $10 per week for workers, $3 per week for dependents, milk, rent, fuel, and clothing.

Seventeen persons wore killed in nutomobile accidents in South Caroli- i na in August as compared with 15 In August of last year, a statement issued from the highway department hows. Total accidents last month numbered 18i), whereas there were only 72 in August, lt>38. The large number of accidents last month boosted the number of persons injured to 108. This was in contrast ! lo t$5 in August last year. Forty of the total number of acci- j ilents were reported to have been the result of reckless driving, With this cause topping the list careless driving was listed second. Recklessness due to liquor was third in the list, 14 of the wrecks having been attributed directly to this cause. A majority of the accidents,, 80, were the result of collisions between; motor vehicles. Twenty-four were collisions between motor vehicles and fixed objects. Eighteen p were nen-. collision accidents. So far this year 106 persons huve lost their lives in automobile accidents, leading last year's figure of the same dato by 41. Already there have been D6t) accidents, whereas there were only 748 ab the end of the same period in 1083.?Tho State. i I One Of Those Whoppers tel-, . Some years ago when we lived on a dairy farm, Loster Ramse, Bricelyn, Minn., informs us, we had a hired man who wo nicknamed Whistling Ole. He had a habit of whistling continuously while miLking the cows and performed the operation in time to the tune he was whistling at that particular moment. One day we went' away and were unable to returh, until late in the evening which made it necessary for Ole to do all the milking himself. When V,e> came back Ole was not in the house, and upon looking into tho barn, found that it was flooded with milk. We swam in and rescued Ole who was floating around on a milk stool. He explained he had been whistling as usual and keeping time when suddenly all the cows in an effort to mark time and from sheer joy inspired by the music let go of their milk.?The Pathfinder.
