The taxpayer moans everybody who buys. Kvcryono pays hidden taxes whether he is an ownor of taxab]e property or not. No one knows what tho present tuberculosis bt] 1 amounts to j for entire county or for the Htate of? South Carolina. There jn South Car- J olli^ 898 beds In public institutions for tuberculosis cases. Averagelng tho cost of each of these beds at eight hundred dollars per year gives | a total of |718.400 which comes out out of the pockets of taxpayers. Add to that the cost of relief for families of many of the casen; lost wagso; tho cost an denro of orphans and it is easy to seo what South Carolina peo-' pie pay euch year because of the ravages of tuberculosis mounts far nbovo a million dollars* It is impossible to estimate the obligatoln of Kershaw County people with any degree'of accuracy, because our peop]e depend for hospitalization on the sanatorium at State Park for the dire of all tuberculosis cases. At this time there are thirteen Kershaw County peoplo at State Park. Getting rid of tuberculosis as quickly as possible and at the least expense Is not only desirable as a humanitarian goa], but Is also sound government and business economy. Tho Kershaw County Tuberculosis Association strives dull^ mould public opnion toward developing a plan for giving to every person in the county, between the ageB of fifteen and forty five, frequent opportunity for fluoroscopic or X-ray examination of the chest. This is especially Important because of the large number of cases of tuberculosis that are coming to light with a history like this, ?either the patient Is a young moth- j er that Isn't dojng well or the patient tells the story of having been sick with a cold, flu or pneumonia and Just did not regain normal strength. With every one working together, the Tuberculosis Assosclation can redouble the value of its service to the people of the county. Sunday Movie Bill A Law Columbia, May 24 -Governor Bur- , net K. Maybank yesterday signed the , act legalizing Sunday baseball and motion pictures in Richland and Charleston counties, lie said he was signing it "Holey in the Interest of national defense, in abnormal tlines." Before he affixed his signature to the measure he pointed out that the measure applied only to Charleston and Richland counties where are largo military or naval establishments. He said "I have been requested by officers pf the army and the navy to sign this hill so that men in the service could tind decent entertainment on Sundays. "Army officers toll me the soldiers | go to church in the morning and that these amusements in the afternoon would be good for their morale." The governor also said he had been requested by the state council for nnttonal defense to sign the bill as a means of helping solve the problem of entertainment for soldiers- and sailors. "These are ntbt ordinary times, and the problems before us are great" he said. He said he was receiving requests to veto the bill.

Thanksgiving Back To Former Date Washington.?President Roosevelt declared Tuesday that the experiment of moving up the date of Thanksgiving day by a week to improve retail business had not worked and that next year Thanksgiving would be" on the* customary last Thursday In November. This year, however, It will fall on the next to the last Thursday by presidential proclamation. Mr. Roosevelt announced the decision to go back to the old date and Joined with members of his press conference in a chuckle. It is too late this year to go back to the laBt Thursday in November he said, because' of commitments made to retailers and calendar makers. : ? 1IFT" up the bonnet of this darling J Buick and you see only one engine?a big, efficient valve-in-head straight-eight, Look again ? and you note that Compound Carburetiont gives it two carburetors? and what amounts to a dual personality.

J Your reporter returned on Monday from a short trip embracing points of Kershaw and Lancaster counties. On Saturday night we went with R. C. Jones, Jr.. prominent road salesman, I to Lancaster.

NVe attended Sunday school at the Rich Hill Baptist church. W. S. Hammond, super-1 intendent, we noticed, had some inter-j esting features of teaching. On Monday we went to Heath Springs and later to Kershaw where we enjoyed dinner wtill our son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Paul E. Jones I and daughter, Mary Edna. Later -in the evening we rode with road super-1 visor Moseley over some of the roads in northern Kershaw county where roads are few, and good roads nonexistent. There is a short section of the Liberty Hill-Heath Springs road much traveled. It's rough and bumpy in dry weather, and sloppy and miry I in wet weather. lrB only^tt^ew miles | from Highway 97 to the Lancaster 1 line where the pavements begins. It seems a pity mat this short section should remain an eye-sore to the public and a source of trouble and inconvenience to those who live or travel over it modt.

Vino! druq stqre OaKALft PHARMACY ^ - V * t - " v III " ^ l ? How Much Plant it i Mcd Cropif | Many farmers have asked, why more fertiliser seems to be needed to grow profitable crops than used to bo the case. Recently compiled data on th^ plant food contained in important crops answers the question. After looking over these figures, it is easy to see thaj good yields of crops contain large quantities of nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash. Fertile soils under natural conditions accumulate considerable quantities of the above nutrients in availablo form. When farming is started, these supplies feed the crop, and good yields are obtained. As tho cropping is continued, these supplies are gradually reduced, and yields begin to dfop accordingly. Sooner or^later, depending on tho natural feVtility of the soil, tho point is reached where satisfactory yields of crops no longer can be obtained. The trouble usually is not caused by all the nutrients becoming depleted at the same time. Since most of the soils in North America are low in their natural supply of phosphate, this nutrient usually becomes the first limiting factor, even though crops do not remove much of it. On some soils, nitrogen may be the first to become deficient, while on others, especially peats and mucks, it is potash. Since phosphate is usually the first to become depleted, it is the first fertilizer added. This may step up viclda for a while, but they will decrease again due to a diminishing supply of some other nutrient, and this may be nitrogen or potash or both. Qther factors, sucH as soil acidity, secondary nutrients, or diseases, may also enter into the picture and must be taken care of if good crops are to be maintained. Since the three nutrients, nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash, are those most commonly lacking in the soil, the amounts of these contained in good yields of principal crops have been given special consideration and are shown in the table below. .3-ton crop of alfalfa takes fro* t'.?3 soil 35 pounds of phosphoric' acid and 135 pounds of potato#' the average. Moat of the nitrogur in alfalfa and the other legume Comes from the air. In the easo of non-legumes, most of the nitre, gen as well as all the phosphate and potash comes from the soil rupply. . Part of the nutrients in aoraj crops is returned to the soil when the unharveBted portion of the plant is plowed under, but with either crops, almost all the nutrients are removed in the harvest It is clear that unless they are' returned in some way, the soil supply will soon be exhausted. Itis like drawihg on a bank account' without making any deposits.' When everything has been drawn^ out of the bank, the account is: worthless until it is replenished., The use of manure will help maintain the soil's plant-food supply. But most farmers are lucky ' if they have enough manure to cover their farm once in a rotatioa of four years. If 10 tons per acre are spread, this will mean that an ' average of 25 pounds each of nitrogen and potash and half this amount of phosphoric acid per, year are didded by the manure.

It is apparent at once that crops differ considerably in the nutrients they contain. Also noticeable is that the nitrogen and potash are higher than the phosphoric acid. Thus a out several times these amount*" of plant foods. Thus greater amounts of commercial fertilizer are being used to more fully return to the soil the plant foods" removed by crops. With careful soil management and the use of fertilizer adapted to the soil and crop grown, the fertility of the j .soil can be maintained and evea i nc r eased.
