Citation of Heroism Asked By Chamber In a letter to the Carnegie Hero Fund commission at Pittsburgh, the executive secretary of the Canulen and Kershaw County Chamber of Commerce has suggested- that if the commission decides to make a citation for bravery and heroism In the matter of the drowning of the three members of the J. T. Morton family In the waters of Beavor Creek a week ago last Saturday, that in addition to Dorothy,- IS-year old girl, that the citation embrace the hoy Kdward, who gu\e his life in the effort to save his older brother, Wardlaw. As details of the sad tragedy become known and the story of the heroism of the Morton Children is pieced together, there is added luster to the unfaltering bravery that was exemplified by Dorothy, Kdward, and Curtis Morton, and even Maureen, the > oungest of the group. The tact that Dorothy was a girl in her teens probably attracted greater public attention in the demand that her heroism be recognized In some public matinor. This does not In any way detract from the bravery from 13-year old Kdward, 15-year old Curtis, or the little sister Maureen. Kdward was the first to respond to the appeal for help from tho drowning brother, Wardlaw. Then Dorothy plunged in and was followed by Curtis. Maureen was about to follow when she noted the plight of Curtis and it was through her efforts thut ho managed to stagger ashore after a futile effort to locate his brothers and sister who had sunk under tho surfaco ot the water. From Senator Rurnet R. Maybank in Washington, came a letter to Secretary F. 11 Heath of the Camden Chamber, expressing his deep sorrow' over the pathetic tragedy in the Morton family and asked the secretary to extend to them his deepest syin-' p ithy. Senator Maybank, with his us-f ual characteristic courtesy and co-, operation, asked to he permitted to. do what he could toward securing rec-I ognitiou from the Carnegie Merot Fund.

We are proud of Kershaw county's record, as we now lead the state In acreage signed. If you have not signed your permission card, please do so at once. A "break down'' by counties shows that Kershaw, in South Carolina, tops the list with a total of 71.80 per cent of the acreage signed. Leo count* is second with 59.45 per cent, and Darlington. also in South Carolina, third with 54.35 per cent of the total aero-| age signed. "Captain Kells again stressed the fad that during the maneuvers and training of troops, the army will do everything possible to protect private property. If damage is done a fair settlement will be made promptly, he said. June 15. is the deadline for the signing of land necessary for this Important soldier training.

Horticultural Chairman I an) sure that moat of us realize hat there 1? a great satisfaction 1" producing our own plants from our imi seed, to say nothing of the tlnunial saving The cost of these home. rown plants becomes nominal after <et ting the equipment. It is the obtaining of the equipment. and not the cost which often prevents our planting the seed. Kaeh gardener should own seed Huts. TUo most practical size being about 24x24 *6. These would not cost much as either setups of old lumber could bo used, or If having to buy undressed boards could always be purchased. Any "Jack-leg" carpenter could make them and the approximate cost would l?o only about 50 cents per flat. That iize may sound a hit small, remember iho that you want them portable and Alton tilled with dirt It will seem much bigger than it sounds. At the mine time it would bo wise to have built extra sizes, which would amount to another flat without the bottom, for you will need this additional depth [o your flats when the plants begin o grow and yet still need protection. Your next piece of equipment is a piece of glass 24x24 to lit over the lop of the*"flats. This costis 95 cents. The advantage gained from using he glass are, protection hn+Ht Trust, lev eloping of plants to blooming stage earlier than out doors sowings, hastening germination and helps to bold iml produce moisture. Next a piece of wire is needed fqr screening the dirt. Professionals use what looks exactly like and may be, is an old-fashioned sirtor with a woodL.ii band. These may be obtained for ;i5 cents. Sift the soil right into the j flats. As most soil contains a iunguS| which lives on the vegetable matter in tho soil and which either prevents the seed from germinating or causes the plants to die shortly after sprouting, steraliziug of the soil is very necessary. This can be done in various ways, I he easiest, most practical, and the one best adapted to home use is the pouring of boiling water over the soil turning and mixing until thoroughly saturated. After this lias dried completely, stir up until the soil is light and fluffy and now evei'y tiling is in readiness for planting. No very general rule can be given for the planting of each species lias has its own preference, but large seed .should be sown two to four times their diameter and small ones only slightly covered, just enough to hide theui from light. Fresh and strong seed can be sown deeper than old or weak ones, because the seedlings should reach the surface with comparative ease. Oxygen in ample supply is necessary for germination, therefore the soil should never be tightly packed. Shading is necessary, especially for those small seed sown near the surface of the soil. To further germination, the soaking of all bard bony seed is advised. This softens and breaks the coating of the jeed so the embryo can emerge. Many fruits soften their seed by their own icids, also by the acids in the stomach ind intestines of the birds that eat hem. Some of these are barberry, ceiar, cherry, mulberry, and thorn, "hemicals are sometimes used for seeds with especially hard surfaces, rhey soften the shell so that water an enter. Vinegar aids the seeds of )ramble fruits such as blackberry and aspberry. Sweet pea seed which are *ery slow germlnators may be treat d with sulphuric acid (one half comnercial strength) soaking for thirty ninutes, then washing thoroughly in :lear, warm water. Old seed which vould not otherwise germinate often lo after this treatment. Another nethod is to add two drops of chloliue solution to 60 cubic centermeers of water, after which add the eed and let stand in the sun a few ninutes. Some seed will germinate n six hours. These seed must also >e thoroughly washed before plantng. For some seeds too hard for oaking, illiug, clipping or boring a lole into the seed allows the water 0 enter into the embryo. Lotus ,eed not kept in water from time of ipening must be treated thus, but f kept Immersed as in nature, they vill sprout readily. There is obtalnible from Dreer a table showing the lfe of dormant seed. It shows that nost flower seed are good for from ! to 5 years. It is for these seed vhich have been kept for several ears that this treatment is most lecessary. Now to g?n back to the seed flats: Vatering is the next step and an iralortant one. Too much water is as iad as too little, because the soil beomes w ater logged and the seeds die. lampness throughout the whole soil 1 all that Is needed. Whenever posible water from the bottom by puting the flats In a tub of \frater. It ? far more advantageous as oven the lost gentle spray moves the seed bout. 1 When the plants are large enough > transplant, throw out tho soil, dry ats, store In a handy place and they re ready for use again.
