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.

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

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

Accidents Take Seventeen MvM.
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

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.
