Cotton Rust Is Potash Hunger Cotton ruHt has done widespread dunmge in recent yours, costing the South millions of dollurs in lost yields. Many furmors in this section lose many valuable pounds of seed cotton year after year, because they let rust ravage their cotton crop. Yet cot ton rust Is ousy to prevent by using plenty of potash. leading authorities say that cotton rust Is simply potash starvation. Cotton, like all other plants, manufactures its food In the leaves. Potash' Is needed for this manufacturing pro-' cess and for tho transportation and assimilation of the food. When the cotton plant approaches maturity and begins to develop burs, seed and lint, there Is a tremendous demand for quickly-available potash. If the cotton plant does not receive plenty of potash .food manufacturing Is hindered or stopped, the food is not properly distributed throughout tho plant and a complete breakdown occurs as u rosult of a starvod condition. Then you see cotton rust. The leaves turn yellow, break down at the edges, become rusty or black and finally drop off. Tho fruiting limbs are weak, tho twigs supporting the burs are short and small, and tho burs are small and do not opon properly. The cotton 1b hard to pick and the llnf Is wenk and hot uniform with some long and some short fibers. Tho seeds are small and Immature with a low oil content. All of theao losses are due to potash starvation, commonly known as cotton rust. Nitrogen and phosphoric acid do not prevent rust. The average fertilizer does not contain sufficient potash to prevent rust. There Is only one way to prevent rust?simply use enough potash to balance >our plant food and help you get greater benefits from other more expensive elements In your fertilizer. Many farmers have found that It pays to use potash as a top-dressing. I hey have gotten excellent results from using 100 pounds of Muriate of Potash, or 200 pounds of Kainit per acre. Other farmers use nitrogenpotash mixed-goods top-dressers. All of the materials are on sale by leading fertilizer men. Potash top-dressing should he applied when you chop out.

CITY TO PROVIDE LIGHT8 AND PHONE AT AIRPORT Mindful of the necessity of having ' an experienced man in charge of the I Woodward air field here, tho Camden i chamber of commerce has been cor responding with various partlos in an I effort to interest them in locating at tho field. | For tha past two years the airport = , has been under the supervision of Mr. 'and Mrs. Jim Woods, who malntalnI ed watch over the airport property and also saw to the servicing of any ships landing at the field. Last summer Mr. Woods was offered a splendid position at lite Cannon airport at Charlotte and is now manager there. 1 Mrs. Woods has continued at the local airport, but has notified the city land county she will leave here the ' latter part of this month to make her home at Charlotte. I It was through the efforts of Mrs. I Woods that the chamber lias been able to contact an experienced flyer I and airplane mechanic to look over ' the local field with a view of taking I charge. If the program is carried i out the airport will have an ex per1 lenced service department, a flying ; school and also facilities for secur' ing flying accommodations. This fly' ing expert is expected in Camden beI fore the end of the month to discuss ' the matter with tlie city and county I officials. Acting mayor Charles Shannon has j submitted a resolution to the city | county asking for funds to provide for a telephone and also for lights at the airport. This motion received the of?Hht? etrthrcil. State aeronautical authorities declare Canulen has one of the finest airports in tho state, but deplore tho apathetic attitude of city and county toward the field. Some thirteen or fourteen years ago a special act of the BUto legislature provided for an airport commission. This commission was organized about that time but has never functioned. It is pointed out that tho days of flying have arrived and the use of aeroplanes for transportation purposes. for outings and the like Is Increasing This makes It necessary, for all up-to-date communities to| stress the upkeep of their airports. J, The departure of the Woods from: Camden will be keenly regretted. I)ur-i ing the two years they have been at the airport they have maintained It in a splendid manner, despite the fact!; that no financial assistance was forth-j coming from either city or county. |] Mr. Shannon's action in providing | money to take care of the telephone < and lights was the first cooperative , gesture. I Both Mr. and Mrs. Woods are skilled flyers. They will have the best wishes of their many friends In Cam- j den for their future success at Char- ( iotie. I.

Eleazer^ countyr farm, agent, .be.U.eyes that Sumter county farmers are constantly growing Into better hog raisers. foro demonstration feeding was started in 1928 it took the average farmer 8 to 12 months to grow out a top hog." he says. "Now many of our folks are making perfect tops In b to7 months. For instance, in a late February shipment J. M. Edens sold six August pigs that weighed 1,275 pounds; D. L. Tindal sold five weighing 980 pounds at 5 months and > days; F. A. Usteen had three weighing 530 at 5 1-2 months; J. E. Johnson's 3 weighed f?95 at 6 1-2 months; R L. Jones brought 3 at 5 1-2 months old that weighed 605 pounds, and Bert Robinson's 14 \\f?ighed 2.700 at 6 1-2 months. "One feeding record was completed In which seven shotes averaging 90 pounds were fed 39 days and weighed 1.450 pounds. They consumed 41 bushels of corn for which they paid M 19 per bushel, after deducting cost of pigs at 8 cents and feed supplement cost." A Florida searching party found Dr. John Folk on Tuesday, after he had been lost in the Jungles of Key Largo, [or 70 hours, in a search for tree snail shells, of which he had 70. He whs much exhausted and was taken to a hospital at Homestead to recuperate. Governor Would Pool State Funds Governor Uuruet R. Maybank made a personal appearance before tbe gen* ero> assembly on Thursday In an effort to show the law-makers a way out of the present financial crisis of the state. He recommended a diversion of funds now In the hands of the state highway department and funds now coming or to come to the department, ! but not to the extent that operations | of the highway department would be ' disrupted or the normal and orderly 1 retirement of Its obligations interfered with. It was his first formal appearance before the legislature since he was inducted into office in January. The governor recommended to the law-makers in addition to a diversion of highway revenues, the following: Pooling of all state funds; collection of delinquent taxes, return of the three mill school property tax;./Refinancing of the current operatliig deficit over a five year period; imposing of income taxes on federal salaries; increasing liquor taxes. The governor said he opposed "any new taxes that would add to the burden upon industry and business and force wage levels for those we have." Legislators cheered, when the governor said that "in the present dilemmar and pHght of South Carolina we are attempting to spend a disproportionate share of the taxpayers money for highways as compared with the other institutions. "No patriotic South Carolinian would desire to penalize this department for its good work and care should be taken in securing the mo-, ney needed that the department's pro-' gram is not disrupted of its obliga-i tions interfered with." "I have faith in you gentlemen and j in the gentlemen of the state high-j way department and I believe that you and they can work out the details of this transfer in this crisis and) do it without imposing any unique! hardship upon the department or upon those counties which are entitled to additional highway construction. "Other states have been able to accomplish as much." A compromise in the simmering quarrel over highway funds was seen as a prospect as Maybank concluded his address with the observation: "There is no profit to come to South Carolina from eternal conflict. The times demand the cooperation of all In the interest of the state as a whole and with cooperation this problem and any other problem that may face us can be solved." Altho the senate a few minutes before rebuffed an attempt to revive a bill to require pooling of all state rev enue, Maybank led his list of recomA FIENDISH CRIME " It Is almost unbelievable that humans would be guilty of the crime j suspected of two Monroe white men, that of setting fire to two livery stables In that city with the resultant loss of fifty or sixty head of mules and horses. It is a fiendish crime, if true, and it seems that there must be something to it, as the fires occurred on successive Sunday mornings about one o'clock. If the parties now arrested and in Jail in Monroe should be found guilty, | no punishment is too severe for the! perpetrators of such a heinous crime.! It is bad enough to set fire to any sort of building but the crime becomes more brutal and fiendish when it is remembered that Innocent and helpless dumb brutes died like rats caught in a trap. No one who has never witnessed such a scene with the screaming of the terrified and dying animals can conceive of the horror of such a situation. If there is any way to make an example of such a crime, let it. be done in the case of the Monroe fires.?Gastonia Gazette. ^ \ ? * T~ "" 1 " mendations with such a proposal. He suggested that "as soon as possible the law should be changed In order that all the expenses of the state government may be included in the annual appropriation bill In order that all state funds, from whatever source derived, may be turned into the state treasury to be appropriated by the legislq^pre?it may be rather late this year to do the entire Job, but a beginning should be made." Recalling that the three mill constitutional school tax was eliminated from the constitution after a referendum, Maybank suggested "that this tax should remain by statutory pro\ ? rtjr- - rr ^;j vision for at least another year in or- ' Uer that the schools may continue to ] operate on a reasonable hasis of em. 1 dency.* He noted that thepperatlng deficit amounted to fl,266,0Q and advised that "the wiser course would, It seeoa to me, be to. Teflhan^p^ls floating debt over a1perfol of fb3r1rwtri." In recommending l&aeiQeta*e? on federal salaries he pdtted a provision "that this would not be retroactive, k but should apply only to incomes ~ earned after January, 1939." The liquor tax, he thought, should be increased from 96 cents to $1.28 a gallon. 355?flfi?H6F--= greyhoundTterminal East Dekalb St. Phona 249 -? -? --- ?- ?i FRIDAY, MAY 12| National Hospital Dag | Eighteen years ago Matthew Foley founded Hospital ' 7^1 Day.
