OCTOBER BU8Y MONTH
FOR THE ALERT FARMER
Resides the usual harvesting of the
main crops there Is plenty of Importunt
work to do In October, says W.
C. McCarley, county agent, making
these timely suggestions:
Agronomy?Start now saving stable
manure for next year's crops. Plant
winter cover crops to reduce loss of
plant food and to add nitrogen. Plant
oatH oarly for the best results. 8ow
rye early for Improvement of poor
soIIh. How barley as a source of excellent
feed and sow wheat as a
source of food. Desttoy cotton stalks
as soon as cotton picking la complete.
Horticulture?Select varieties adapted
to your selection, and place order
for fruit trees with a reliable nursery.
Cut out all dead branches on fruit
trees before the leaves drop. Thin
out young turnips, beets, kale, spl-J
nach, and lettuce to hasten development.
Gather green tomatoes Just be-'
fore frost and store In a cool place; |
even half-grown ones will ripen.
Agricultural Engineering?In plant-1
lug small grain set furrow-openers to
run approximately three inches deep.'
This muy prevent some winter killing.
Check over plows, cultivators,
and other Idle machinery on the farm
for needed repairs and cover alii
bright parts with greaso to prevent
rusting. Repair breaks or low places
on terraces. Check fireplaces, chimneys,
and flues for needed repairs before
cold woather.
Plant Diseases and Insects? Trpat
small gralh seed for smut, or plant
smut-resistant oats. Select sweot potato
seed from disease-free vines.
Dae paradl-chlorobenzlno by October
10 In the Piedmont section and October
20 in other sections to control
peachtree borer, except where It Is
planned to use thylene dichloride.
Harvest corn early to reduce weevil
Infestation. Fumigated Btored grain

the chase out for a feast of fox hound
music. But sly Reynard, when flushed
south- of here, led the dogs over
hills and hollows Into the village,
where In the maze of buildings, wire
fences and other obstacles to fast locomotion,
he outwitted his pursuers
near the barnyard of Mackey-Jones
companv store, and so far as we know

Darlington Bows to |
Camden Bulldogs
(By TUb Skipper) . '
A greatly improved Camden Bulldog
aggregation scored a SO to 0 Win
over an outolaaaed Darlington high
outfit last Friday night at Darlington.
Camden displayed a lot of Ufa and
pep and demonstrated that the Vllleplgue
coached crowd Is definitely on
the way.
Camden struck pay dirt In the first
five minutes of play when a aeries
i of running plays and ,an occasional
pass with Cox and Bell doing tha pall
totln' put the oval over for the first
touchdowq. A psss to Cox added the
extra point.
Twice again In the first half did
the Bulldogs strike. Camden scores
were hung up by Bell, Cox and Bundrlok.
In the second half all members of
the Camden squad bad a chance to
work up a perspiration, Camden seemingly
doing a coasting stunt while
they polished up on a passing attack
with Bell, Billy Mullen and Cox strutting
the big Bertha feats. Because
of this practice occasion the Darlington
lads escaped having the Bulldogs
Toll up an Impressive total against
them.
Individual work on tne back field
was evenly divided between Johnny
Mullen, McCasklll, Pell and Cox, with
Johnny playing the spinner back
spot. Charley McCasklll and Jacki
Marshall alternated at calling signals.
Some splendid blocking was done by
Follin Watts and Charley McCasklll.
This lad McCasklll will bear watching.
He Is 6 feet In height, scales
about 186 pounds and Is showing a,
lot of stuff as a blocking back. He
also snared some passes that were
really hard to catch.
Camden will now point toward the
Sumter clash, which is the peak event
of the season In both Sumter and
the tourist town.
