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.

foro demonstration feeding was started
in 1928 it took the average farmer
8 to 12 months to grow out a top

folks are making perfect tops In b to7

shipment J. M. Edens sold six
August pigs that weighed 1,275

"One feeding record was completed
In which seven shotes averaging 90

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.

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.
