stand up for the farmer's
rights, don't let all of the money go
for ships and guns, remember the
farmer feeds them all. a gun won't
last long on a empty stummick. the
folks around flat rock feel like the
farmer ought to have every other
defense dollar. It looks like labor Is
going to slow down everboddy but the
farmer, labor Is oggernized to work,
but It seems that It misunderstood the
plana. and It Is oggt-rnlzed to strike,

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".

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!

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.
