Mrs. Qeorg? Qriswold and two lady
companions, of Old Lyme, Conn., who
are spending th? winter in Camden,
came up one day last week to see the
Liberty Hill flowers, and donate some
books to the library. Mrs. Qriswold
is a good friend to the library and has
given books on previous occasions.
John Richards McCrae is expected
to come from New York next week to
visit his parents, Mr .and Mrs. T. P.
MoCrae, and grandparents, Governor
and Mrs. John Q. Richards, and also
to sing in Columbia.
Ned Cunningham, Camden high
sohool senior, went to Raleigh, N. C..
and spent the last week end with a
friend up there. He reports a fine
trip. He Is spending this week end at
Clemson College with his cousin, Car
det C. D. Cunningham, Jr.
A. J. Richards, of Denmark; J. Q.
Richards, 3rd., of Florence; W. J.
Richards, of Concord; J. P. Riohards,
Jr., of Lancaster; Mrs. J. K. Hdriot,
of Blshobvllle, and Mrs. Marion Richards
Hodges, of Sumter, were here
Sunday on account of the serious illness
of their mother, Mrs. C. E. Richards,
who passed away on Tuesday
morning.
? We acknowledge with thanks the
receipt of an invitation to attend the
unveiling of the monument to that
great reform statesman, Governor and
Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman to
whom South Carolina is mainly indebted
for two of her great and popular
institutions of learning?Clemson
College and Winthrop College. The
unveiling will be a notable event and
will no doubt attract a large crowd.
Governor Richards, chairman of the
committee, says platform and Beating
arrangements for five hundred are
made out of doqrs?if weather permits?in
the hall of representatives
if raining.
Miss Callie Jones, of the Columbia
schools spent the wfeek end at home. '
Rev. A. Drennan was a Camden
visitor one day last week.
Mrs. E. L. Jones, WPA investigator,
has been kept at home by illness recently.
Mrs.
Lucy Perry and son, G. W.
Perry, of Lancaster, and little Sue
Perry Deaton, who is spending a
while with her grandmother, Mrs.
Perry, were Sunday evening visitors
here.
The recent cold spell, With a low
of 26 degrees, did much damage to
garden vegetables and other tender
vegetation, and fruit, we think, will
be almost a complete failure.
More than 1,000,000 people in England
attend night echool, studying approximately
200 different subjects, including
practically every art, craft,
and science.
During January, 1940, the retail sale
of new passenger cars and trucks
amounted to 286,789 units. This was
an Increase of 31 percent over January,
1939.
Six Dollar Return
On Small Investment
South Carolina CotUwpseed Crushers'
association, through I).- M. Lipscomb,
secretary, Columbia, has issued
an open letter as follows to cotton
growers.
Hix dollars is a pretty good return
Qii an iiivestiueut of sixty cents, isn't
it? So good your first impulse is to
Buspect something phoney and back
off before somebody offers you a gold
brick, liut don't back off from this
proposition until you have done some
figuring; and, while figuring, remember
that the South Carolina Cottonseed
Crushers' Association has nothing
to *ell to you. However, it is to
the interest of every man in South
Carolina, regardless of his vocation,
to heip make us much cotton per acre
as possible. Now for the suggested
figuring:
The coat of defending an acre of
cotton against unrestrained boll weevil
damage may bo us low as Blxty
cents. That's the out-of-pocket money
cost for enough blackstrap molasses
and enough calcium arsenate to go
over an acre three times. An acre
thus defended with the Sweetened
Poison may 4 be expected to produce
50 or 6Q or 70 pounds of lint cotton
more than it would produce if no
ncjumuiu-. - i ^.. t^JujaauMijJWEBWBggr^^gggyBgg;
poison is used; That Is a conservative
statement, us many u practical
fanner will agree.
That 50 or 60 or 7<J or even more
thau 70 additional pound* of lint cotton,
plus the additional good, will give
you from approximately six dollars to
seven or eight iu oaah. l>o your own
calculating, if you wish, allowing nine
cent* a pound for cotton and 11.25 a
hundred for seed.
Looks like u good proiK?sltlou. docs
n't It? Well it should look that way,
for It Is.
South Carolina'* cotton crop was
one of the farming sensations of 1959.
In thlB state we produced an average
of 842 pounds of lint to the acre. No
other Southeastern state, no other
state In the old cotton belt harvested
! any such crop as that. North Carolina
was more thau 60 pound* an
acre below us, Georgia more than 100
pounds behind, Alaba-ma more than
150 pounds, and Mississippi with Its
fabulously rich Delta lands gathered
but S01 pounds an acre. That Mississippi
yield was flue?hut compare
it with ours!
Since the 1939 cotton produotlon
figures wore announced people Interested
In cotton have been asking why
South Carolina stepped'out front, and
this Is part of the answer they have
received: Sbuth Carolina's cotton
farmers used more of the one-one-one
antLboll weevil mixture than was
?~.a.i..I. ? ", i . . j ..jn? 1. .o.i.t.mMtfig;.?? g
used by the farmers of other stateu.
I'm** of that poison in South Carolina
undoubtedly/ is part and ail Important
part of the explanation of our re
murk able success as cotton producers
In 1039. Other states had good wonthe<l,
KtM,*l soil, and other aids. Hut
fciey did not use so much of tlie oneone-one
mixture.
Now we are preparing for another
cotton crop. Whut will bo the yield
in. 1H40? No man Knows. There aro
factors we cannot control. Hut remember
tills: we can control the boll
weevil, and we must if we are to have
another great crop. Perhaps we cannot
completely eliminate weevil damage,
but we can cut it down, and at
j very small cash cost. For an Investment
of sixty cents an acre, remember,
you may get a return of six dollars
an acre.
The aim ef South Carolina's cotton
farmers should be 500 pounds of lint
to the acre. Hundreds harvested that
muoh, or more, In 1089. What they
did, tens of thousands con do. A bale
to the acre average will give the cotton
formers a taste of the kind of
good living they, are entitled to; and
a bale to the acre average is possible.
damson circular No. 180.
Your county agent probably has a
copy to spare. If not, he will get
one for you. That circular tells you I
how to produce cotton profitably un*
der boll weevil condftlons. ^
