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.

Kershaw Leads In
Signing Rights
" ,, i
County Maneuver Director, E. C.
Zemp, wishes to thank the property
owners who have so promptly signed
and returned their cards permitting
the use of their land for training soldiers
to fight their country's battles.
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.

Garden Club Notes
Mary K. WhUaker. 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
