Soil Conservation
. News
(By V. T. Mullen
L. L. McLaughlin, of the Oakland |
community, has seeded an old roadway
lu IiIh fluid lu aorlcea letipedcza.
This will nerve an a water disposal
for hln terraces, This land w&h prepared.
fertilized with acid phosphate
and needed at the rate of 30 pounds
of scarified need per acre. Mr. Mclaughlin
had nuocean with hln sericea
planting laat year and wan particularly
linprenaed with the grazing value of
this plant.
A survey of the pasture needed thin
'spring reveals a good stand of gruHBea
lit most instances, and those that were
seeded early are beginning to "green
up." However, grazing will lie withheld
until satisfactory growth permits
full use of these pastures. |
Peronlal strips <>r sericea lespedeza
were stMHlod this week ou the farms
of Frank Kirk land and Robert Brown,
colored farmers, of the Red Hill sec-j
t ion These strips are located on
steep eroded slopes and will prove
beneficial in controlling erosion In the
future. These strips will produce1
quality hay the second season.
Lespedezji Makes !
Quality horage

Farmers who expect to plant sericea J
lespedeza for the first time this year
will profit by giving the land careful)
preparation before planting, according
to V. T. Mullen of the Lynches Rive.Soil
onservjttlon District.
Sericea can bo planted at any time
during April or May. Mr Mullen said.
The earlier planting will have more
time to develop a strong root system j
and will make better growth the secend
year.
However. If the land has not been
prepared well in advance and settled
by rain. It is better to dealy planting
until proper land preparation can be
given, rather than to seed sericea un
poorly prepared soli.
After the land has been thorougl ly
prepared, best results can be obtained
by harrowing the land with a spike
tooth harrow or rolling with u cultipacker
just before seeding Thirty
pounds of scarified seed per. uci"- is |
recommended. It Is not necessary to
tjover the seed.
Sericea can be planted successfully
in July, when moisture conditions, are
usually favorable for se--d germlnati-m
and plant growth, hut the second vear
growth of these late plantings is generally
poor. July set-dings are usuallvj
made on well prepared land from ,
which small grain has been harvest-, dj
for hay.

Obstacle Course
At High School j
One of the most intricate and ?1 iI'-1
ficnlt obstacle layouts in state high

onstructed In the area of the vocaional
school on Laurens street.
The obstacles which were designed
jy Lindsay Pierce following his attenlance
at*the pre-naval school at the
University of Georgia have attracted
he attention of many hundreds of
teople passing on the street.
This obstacle course is used In tho
thyslcal training of the boys of the <
itgh school. In addition to this part
>f the program the students also i
iavo regular gymnasium seasions and <
egular periods of drill. Those par I

Will Not Worry
About Point Ration
"Point rationing of fowls will not
bother the families of Kershaw Conn
ty cooperating with the Farm Security
Administration," said Mrs Kva (
Irby. Home Management Supervisor
'Kach borrower has purctuised a standaril
family size package of garden
seed containing 31' different vegetables.
Thus. 22 pounds of garden
sued for family use alone have been
purchased In Kershaw County.
Kach family, has already planted
one bushel of spring Irish potatoes,
cabbage, carrots, Fngitsh peas, lettuce,
onions, spinach, mustard, turnips,
beets, tomatoes and pepper. Homo
Management Specialists are agreed
tiiat the spring garden vegetables are
tho best for canning, so a surplus has
been planted for an early start or food
preservation.
A year-round subsistence garden
lias always been one of the objectives
of the Farm Security Administration's
live-at-home program, but this year
special emphasis is being placed upon
each family not only raising enough to
feed themselves but also to have garden
truck for sale.
In addition to the garden for familv
| use each family is planting two acres
of truck crops to market. Neighborj
hood meetings held recently to determine
the truck crops to be grown
for sale indicate Kershaw County will
furnish for the war effort a variety
of vegetables this summer.

cause of the abundance of talent and
versatility among the members of the
hand.
Johnny Morris?better known as
Taradiddle Joe'" is the drummer in
the band and the composer of the
great song hit of a few years back.
' Knock Knock.'' Johnny is considered
one of the best dance drummers
around today. His latest sopg hit, a
number he wrote with Tony, is "Paradiddle
Joe" and is atop selling record
for Bluebird the record having sold
over 100.000 to date. Johnny is also
a featured entertainer with the band
? he halls from New Haven. Conn.,
was featured with such bunds as Paul ,
Specht, Vincent I,ojhiz ami Buddy
Rogers he was also featured in a
Paramount Short ''Drummer Man"
the music for which he wrote himself.
Charlie Tretta. ace trumpet, man
with Pastor, is a life long friend of
Tony's?born In the same town and
worked in many of the top hands with
Tony, including Lopez and Shaw.
Last but not least In the band personnel
are the three Norton Sisters,
who put on some vocal numbers that
are winners.
The Camden Chronicle is sponsoring
the appearance of the "Band of
1 f 12" as a gesture of cooperation tow
ard the effort to the Kershaw County
Red Cross chaptei meet the
quota of the war fund drive Kershaw
county is the only county in the state
to fail to attain the quota of $11,600
and while it is generally believed that
the quota was too heavy, there Is a
determination to attain the goal. With
public support at the Tony Pastor
classic a neat sum can be realized,
and this will be turned over to the
Red Cross.
Hundreds of people journey many
hundreds of miles to hear the famous
Pastor music. It is now being offered
the people of Camden and the state
af South Carolina at no other expense
than the price of a dance ticket, no
more than is charged at any average
lancing event. It is believed that
here will be many hundreds of people
who do not dance but who will
>e at the new armory just to hear the
nusic.

Camden Soldier
Gets A Japanese,
Also His Picture
Mrs. Wade L. Stokes, Mill Htreet,
this city, bus received a letter from
her son. Lt. W. U. Jackson, who has
been in the American forces over seas
for over 12 months. The letter written
March 21 and received here April
15 is accompanied by the picture of
a Japanese soldier with a comment
"enclosed you find n Jap picture, ho
will no longer fight against the United
States as ho was killed." Id. Jackson
does not state in IiIh letter hhw he
obtained the picture but It Is presumed
that he prolmbly recovered it from
the body of the dead Jap following
an engagement.
The letter in parts reads as follows:
"Dearest Mom: Well here It Is the
first day of spring back there but Its
the first day of autumn here. The
reason being that I am across the
international dato line and south of
the equator.
4*11 can now be told that I have been
to Panama, crossed the equator, the
internatoinal dato line and have been
in combat against the Japanese. I
have been under mortar fire, machine
gun fire, artillery fire, air raids and
sniper fire. Quite a few thousand
Japeueso have been killed hero. Of
course we also suffered casualties but
the percentage was very low. It should
be wrong to have to fight the way i
wo did. It really is tough to see
men shot down all around you. I now
agree with what Sherman said bat k
during tlio Civil war. lie said (hat
'war Is hell.' No truer words were
ever spoken.
"The, fighting is all over hero now
and the island Is secure. Whore do
you think I am now? You should know
without a doubt.
"I am still enjoying the best of
health and hope, all of you are also.
"Well Mom, that's about all for
this time so I will have lo stop. Clivo
my love to all and keep writing often.
Your losing son,
Dub."
Mrs. Jackson has another son, Carlisle.
who is in the fighting line in
North Africa.
