I DECIDED TO GROW OUR' OWN VEGETABLES - -About 16 years ago I made up my mind that 1 wan going to raise my own vegetables In my own big backyard. I know this was going to be a hard lick on the follows who had been selling us garden truck. Hut why pay 16c for 6c worth of string beans? Why cough up 60c for 16c worth of potatoes, onions, etc.? In other words, why- waste any more money buying stuff I could grow myself? ?Well, the tlist thing 1 had to do was $24 00 to have a fence built around the garden plot. (My neighbor had 4 vicious hens and 1 very scratchy rooster). 1 then hired a 25c per hour man for $1.00 per hour to plow up all of the ground In the proposed garden. This price of course Included the use of his mules. Folks, that mule didn't have enough strength In his body to ptlll a tumbler off a table. ?1 got everything ready for planting. After buying my seeds and 4 garden luffis trtid 2 sacks of fertiliser and 1 sack of bone meal and 50c worth of potato bug killer. I sat down and figured out Just where I was. First, I found out thai 1 wus sitting in the gurden. Next, I found that 1 had s[?ent oxactly $68.75 and nary a seed was In the ground. But by the time I got everything planted, ber-i muda vrass bad poked its measly head thru the soil ai.,i seemed to bo about 4 diya abend of my prospc:?. j ?Nut grass followed bermuda grass. The only way I could see my beans a growing or Father, a-trying-to-grow, was stand over them through the grass tops. I hired man after man to help me hoe and dig. 1 tried to plow the grass out of the way. The harder 1 and the others worked, the faster the bermuda and nutgrasa grow. Finally I found out that nutgrasa knd the bermuda grasa were doing a tug of war. Within 30 days, you couldn't ever tell whore my rows were. I got ao made I went across town and borrowed a cow and I let her graze in the garden 3 weeks, and since that time?we have bought our vegetables and have never asked anybody about the prices of same. Preparedness Urged In Weevil Defense "Farmers of Kershaw county who Intend to use the M l mixture this year for coutrollInK the boll woevil should immedtutely locate and arrange for u source of supply of molasses and calcium arsenate", says county agent W. C. McCarley. < Where stands* have already been secured, farmers are uow becoming Interested In the weevil tight for tho season and ure now ordering supplies of calcium arsenate and molasses Ingredients of the l-l-l mixture. Previous experience has shown that the farmer can not wait until he needs the materials as they are uot generally available on shQrt notice, especially the molasses. If the .farmer is to be assured of a supply of molasses he should now place it is order. Three gallons of molaases and three pounds of calcium arsenate are usually considered adeuuate lor the 1-1-1 mixture for an acre. In the last several years farmers have noC been waiting for reports of weevil abundance before they lay In their supplies of material. More complete' Information on use of the 1-1-1 mixture and indirect aids in weevil control may be found In Extension Circular 180, "Profitable Cotton Production Under Doll Weevil Conditions". n Suppressed Anger Causes Headaches' Richmond, Va.?Anger is the most important source of the worst type of headache?migraine?the closing Fnss'( *i of ih > American Psychiatric association was told Friday. It is the type of anger that doesn't need to manifest Itself in violent displays,'hut more often is of the suppressed resentment type, said Dr, Herman Selinsky of New York. He noted also that it Is a characteristic of the migraine personality to pride himself on the ability to conceal emotion. This personality, who usually attributes his headache to an upset resulting "from something I ate" is found to be frequently unaware of an irritability which others readily perceive. He 1b conscious only of "being right" about a certain situation. There are at least flvd libraries in the world which contain more than a million volumes. A record never before approached! i ---- ? -"- - I ^ When the 29,000,000th Ford rolled recently from the assembly line, an alltime record for the industry was set. 29,000,000 units built by the same management and all bearing one name?a name that has become one of the bestknown trade-marks in the world! It is significant that this achievement comes at a time when our country is making a mighty effort to re-arm swiftly. For to further that effort, to help speed it along in any possible way, we have offered the vast facilities of the Rouge Plant and every ounce of our experience. As you read this, a new $21,000,000 Ford airplane engine plant, started only last fall, is nearly completed. A new magnesium alloy plant, one of the few in the I country, is already in production on light* weight airplane engine castings. Work is right now under way on a new | $18,000,000 plant for mass production of big bomber assemblies. Orders have been filled for military vehicles of several , types, including army reconnaissance | % cars, staff cars and bomb service trucks. '! In the midst of this activity for National Defense, building the 29 millionth Ford car is simply one part of the day's work. | The public has acclaimed the 1941 I Ford car as the finest in Ford history. Ford Dealers are enjoying their greatest sales and expecting their best year since 1937. | It is good to be producing the things I > America needs, and to be setting records on the way! 11 FORD MOTOR COMPANY REDFEARN MOTOR COMPANY SALES SERVICE Waat DoKalb St. Camden, South Carolina Phona 140 L ?

An Old Landmark Restored Liberty Hill, Mdy 14.?The fine old ante-bellum hom^ of Mr. and Mrs. L. P. Thompson, of Liberty Hill, in upper Kershaw county, is being repaired and painted. 1"his old landmark was begun in the year 1850 and it took four years to complete It, as all the work In those days was done by hand only. The fluted columns of the piazzas and the mahogany circled stairway in the rear of the spacious hall tell of the difficult problem of designing woodwork without the help of saw mills. The fourth generatiou of Thompson's now live In this old home. Liberty Hill has few original oWl houses of this type left as a number were destroyed during Sherman's raid in 1860.
