i i i i i i i i i ^ORT83SENSE i by AND NONSENSE ' J J Congratulations to Country and particularly to that grand old general of the turf, Jae Bates, whose alertness and accuracy gave Country ^he 19371938 aerlea for the Devlne cup, but alao permanent poaaeaalon of thla exquisite allver bowl. & m Mrs John Devlue, donor, preaeuted | the cup after the Sunday victory over Town.! After a few brief remarks Mra. Devlne turned the trophy over to Captain Batea and ehook handa with | all members of the Country squad. 1 It wag the third oonaecutlye time that Country won the coveted trophy. The first year it was taken by Town, that being In 1935. But Couutry went to work and vfon the three succeeding aeries. it looked ub If the game Sunday would go to Towu for sure wheu with the sixth chukker half over the score read 7 to 4 In favor of Dick Floyd's gang. But when Tupper, Iightfoot and Bates with some beautiful block* ing and defensive work by Boykin decided to go to the movies, It .was all off, for these lads shot three goals before the final bell and tied the count. And then came the fatal seventh period. The game would go to the team first scoring. And when Joe Bates waited upon the fringe of a scrimmage near the Town goal and saw the little wooden spheroid trickle out from the melee, he was off to a flying start, dashed In and whang? the ball left his mallet like a bullet and went through for the marker and counted. Watson Pomeroy made his 1938 debut on the number one field. A few days on his ponies and some condition work will put this lad back Into the piuk that a long layoff has denied' him. We look for Pomeroy to be a big factor in Camden polo this season ?as he has been In the past. - There was a fine turnout for the game. We saw many cars from North Carolina and a lot of folks we know from Columbia. * + m (letting back on to the polo pony? the news column today carries the story of the donation of a new trophy cup to the Camden club. It is known as the Sylvan cup and will be played for cn the same basis as the Devlne cup was. Which means three more Sundays of some exciting polo tilts between the teams of Joe Bates and Dick Floyd. Dick would give his best hoss if his gang could take the measure of the lads led by Oallant Knight. By the way you polo ladB, why nol have a tilting- event some afternoon at 2:15 as a preliminary to the polo game. From all reports Joe llates la the Gallant Knight of the southland when it comes to staging these tilting demonstrations. Joe has wou in nearly every ufTair held In the south this season. We'd kind of like to see one here. Kh, what? i From polo to the National Guard? you fellows who missed that legion meeting Monday night, missed a real treat. From au educational standpoint it . was the most interesting meeting 1 have attended since coming to Camden. | The only thiug missing was a whistling stunt by Fred Ogburu. Hvev since Fred broke the whistle valve on old No. 191, Seaboard iron hoss, | I've wanted to hear biin. again toot out "Camden. Here We Come." Wouldn't it have been swelligaut if Fred could have played a duet with Darrell Sanders, who sure can toot the brass tooter. * South Carolina can boast of a lot of flue things but it can tell the world iu loud blastB that it has the best adjutant general in the U. S. National Guard in Jim Dozler. The guard executive really went to town in that talk at Legion Hall. And take it from me, when "Stan"' takes charge as master of ceremonies, you khow you're in for an inter: osting evening. And believe me folks, I sure was proud of the way our Kershaw lads did their stunts. Hats off to the officers and boys of Company M. And now for a little nonsense? there is one thing at least that can be said for the designing woman. Man usually furnishes the blue print. The present attitude of some of the Washingtonians reminds nie of the story of the fellow who was approached by some smart looking people riding in a huge limousine. "Can you l tell us how to get to Route No. 1?" they a^ked. "Nope," was the reply. "Do you know how far the main j highway is from here?" "Nope." "Can you tell us how we can get to Cheraw?" "Nope." "Say, you don't know much of anvnfhing do you?" "Nope. But I ain't never bin lost." * One of the New Yorkers tells me that Tammany is not dead. I get it O. K. Just burled alive. * That was a pretty good speech the President made the other day. There were times when I thought he might get around to talking about the depression. NEW JERSEY 8EEK8 TO REMOVE; UN8AFE CAR8 FROM ROAD8 A 4 \ Trenton, N. Jan. U.-^-An army of specially-trained state inspectators climbed over and under thousands of New Jersey automobiles today as the motor vehicle department started compulsory tests to drive unsafe cars from the highways. All "rattle-traps" were doomed, but a relic of pre-war days that had been kept in shape stood a better chance than a sleek 1938 de luxe with cockeyed headlights or lazy brakes. Thirty-day jail terms and $200 fines for recalcitrants were written into the law which went into practical effect today with the opening of twentyeight inspection statldha. The "first batch of hundreds was notified to submit to inspection in Beven days of a stipulated date?at a charge of 50 cents each for semiannual tests. Thousands h^ve submitted to preview unofficial tests. The TVA at Knoxville, Tenn., announces a raise in wages for 8,000 skilled and unskilled workers, as well as a maximum hour basis of 40 hours per week. The pay increase is five per cent.

With smaller storage stocks and fewer live chickeua available for^mur ket, prices of chickens are expected to be appreciably above those of a year earlier until the chickens, from the spring of 1938 hutch are ready for market. During the last half of 1938 when the chickens from the anticipated larger hatch in the spring of 1938 are being marketed, chicken prices will probably be below those of the last half of 1937. These statements suin up the outlook for poultry raisers in 1938, as by P. H. Gooding, poultry specialist, and O. M. Clark, agricultural economist of the Cleinson College Kxten sion Service, says County Agent W C MoCariey. Some of (lie facts on which (he specialists base this forecast are I these As a result of the more favorable i relationship between the price of :e?dj ami (he price of eggs, It is expecied ' that the hatch in the spring of 193s, will be greater than thai of the prim; Of 1937. | Because of the small hatch in (he aprliiK of 1937, and the smaller than . | usual average site of ttockH on farms at the present time, the marketings from now to the middle of 1938, aie| | expected to be less than during the corresponding period of the previous year. Because of the anticipated heavier hatch in the spring of 1938, it ia expected that marketings during the | last half of the year will be greater than those of the corresponding period of 1987. With average weather conditions li\ 1938, it is expected that the rate of production will be less than in 1937. With fewer layers in nocka until pul- J lets come into production in the fall the total okk production Is expected to he Ihhb in 1938, than in 1937.

B. R. ("Uncle Bob") Smith was second in 1926 with a yield of 5,098 pounds of lint on five acres. He was fourth in 1928 with 3,815 pounds, first in 1929 with 5,770 pounds and sixth in 1931 with 5,145 pounds. In 1936, his wife, Mrs. Carrie B. Smith, won first prize with 6,640 pounds of lint on five acres, the largest yield produced in nine contests in which approximately 9,000 farmers entered. The staple length was ll/n inches. , ^ /x. .. Mrs. Smith's Record-breaking Yield Speaking of his wife's record-breaking 1936 yield, Uncle Bob said: "Mrs. Smith planted Coker's Cleve-wilt No. 4 seed and used 1,450 pounds of fertilizer per acre, 300 pounds of which was NV MURIATE OF POTASH. She used some nitrogen as a top-dresser and the remainder of the fertilizer before planting, putting it down in three bands. She sure made me keep a close eye on that patch of cotton. For years I used 6% POTASH in my regular cotton fertilizer, but Clemson College said I was short on potash, so I started using 10% POTASH. I made larger yields and the 10% POTASH completely prevented Rust." Potash Stops Rust and Starts Profits * Producing good yields of cotton seems to run in the Smith family. Jake Smith, of Johnston, S. C., son of Uncle Bob and Mrs. Smith, says this about his 1937 crop: "I made three bales per acre but didn't pick but two. The boll weevil got the other one. Daddy used a lot of potash so I followed him. Counting all the potash my cotton received, it adds up to 300 pounds of MURIATE OF POTASH per acre. If you were to put this in 500 pounds of fertilizer the potash would be 30%. The old slogan is right?POTASH STOPS RtlST." More than 800 pounds of seed cotton per acre had been picked from this field before this photograph of Jake Smith's cotton was made. Leaves have been removed to show amount of cotton left for second picking. IT WILL PAY TOO TO OSE KOBE NV POTASH.
