Flashes From
County Agents
By W. C. McCarley, County Agent
At the meeting held kt the Gnimiuar
school auditorium Tuesday, January
18, Mr. Thomas W. Morgan, assistant
director of extension service, advised
the farmers of Kershaw County to
put their order in for fertiliser'^ow.
And get it on their farm at the ear
liest possible date to relieve the trans
portation facilities.
He also stated that this was the
year for farmers to makb Jiisl ai much
of everything as possible. He'Undl-
csted that prices for fann commodi
ties with the exception of cotton,
wouid be higher than they were in
1943. .
.Mr. Morgan continued by saying
that 1944 is a good year to pay off
all debts, and a had year to make
new debts. A good year to be neigh-
borly with your neighbors by swap
ping work, hiring your tractors and
farm machinery. A good year to lime
your soils and terrace your land under
the AAA program and a good year to
buy war bonds in order that the
farmers can have money when the
slump comes.
Anyone who plans to plant sweet
potatoes in 1944 and . is planning to
buy their sprouts should contact the
plant breeder or the county agent at
the earliest possible date and put
their orders in for the number,of
plants that they are planning 4o put
out. These 'potato sprouts are |3 per
thousand and some of the farmers
who are growing potato sprouts are
already sold out. The Indications are
that there will be a good demand for
sweet potatoes in 1944.

House Approves
12 Grade Project
The hous*b of representatives of
South Carolina last week adopted a
concurrent resolution, introduced by
Representative W. L. Wallace of
York, approving the proposal to pro
vide for teaching 12 grades under the
public school system of the state.
The resolution set out that "the
general assembly Is advised by the
state superintendent of education that
provision may be made.for teaching
12 grades under tbe state's public
It has been saii^ that many unfor
tunates who bet on the bangtails of-
ttwea - "lose, their pants." However
Clarence Perry, printer- at The Cam
den Chronicle shop, lost his pants
and be wasn't putting bis money on
any ponnies either.
The demise of Perry's breetches
was no minor affair—in fact—it called
out tbe entire, fire department and
threw a scare into a gnesUfilled hotel.
It happened-last Thursday night and
the scene was in Perry's room at the
Ivy Lodge hotel. Incideatally with
Bernard Baruch in the nationaP spot
light it might be mentioned that thus
Ivy Lodge is tbe building in which the
famous capitalist and world war ad
visor first saw the light of day.
Clarence bad bung his best pair of
pants on a chair at the side of his
bed. It was a bit chilly in the room
and Clarence had cuddled under the
blankets to keep warm as he read his
favorite magazine and smoked his
favorite ciggret.,.
In some inanner when lighting his
cigaret, tossed what h^ thought was
an extinguished match in the floor,
but it happened the match was still
glowing and it landed on Perry's
pavits. When guests in neafby rooms
smelled smoke they pounded on the
door of Perry's room to see if they
could locate the fire. But the room
was full of smoke, so thick that
Clarence had to grope his way to a
door.
Some one called the fire depart,
ment, but Perry's pants had panted
their last. That Is'the reason the
genial printer came to work Friday in
a brand new spic and span pair of
breetches.

the appropriation for school pur
poses.”
The resolution further set out that
the house of representatives ‘'approve
the proposal" to teach 12 grades. The
resolution went over to the senate
where this week is was expected to
get consideration.

WOODLAND NOTES
Careless Field
Burning Is Costly
"Farmers of Kershaw County are
urged to tue every precaution in
burning grass and rubbish. In order
that fire might be prevented from
spreading to the forests," says County
Ranger L. E. Smith.
EJvery farmer is a 'war worker,
whether he raises crops directly for
war purposes, to teed his family, or
in a Victory Garden. And with the
spring planting season soon at hand,
more citizens of Kershaw County will
begin dealing ttreir lands for farming,
many of them burning off grass and
mbblsh. EJvery farmer ds a war work
er BUT every farmer who allows fire
to spread to stands of live timber
sabotages the war effort.
Forest fires hamper our war effort,
not only by destroying vital resources,
but by taking men away from other
Jobs to fight fire, by creating smeke
which grounds planes in Army train
ing areas, and by destroying com
munication systems carryi^ lmpv>rt-
ant messages.
Tour Kershaw County- Forest Pro-
tectlve Association records show that
brush burning is one of the most com
mon causes ot forest fires, and this
fact is attributed to the carelessness
of tbe persons doing the burning.
However, if the following method is'
used, much of the loss from brush
burning can be avoided:
t. Plow a strip 10 to IS feet wide
along edge of the field adjoining the
woods.
2. Start the fire along the field side
of tbe plowed strip and allow the fire-
to bum back into the field a great
distance before firing the grasa field
from the opposite side.-
8. Be sure to hate plenty of help
available, and station this help along
the edge of tbe woods, to take care of
any sparks or embers that might dflft
with the wind.
Y^ur Forest Protective Association
requests that yon notify some member
of the Association of your Intentions
to do any burning, and seek our ad
vice as to the time of day when the
burning can be done with the least
amount of danger to the foresta.
YOU, can help prevent
disastrous forest_fires!
CARELESSNESS start* more than 800,000
forest Ares in the United States every year.
Carelessness destroys millions upon miliioits
of feet of timber, now a critical war material.
It cripples watersheds that supply hydro-
olectric power to war industries. And the
fighting of forest Ares diverts precious labor
from factories and farms.
Many persons who start these Atm toss
oway motches and cigarettes that aren't dead
0«t. Many others bum to clear plow land
or logging slash or gross or debris and—
the Ares they started break away into searing,
fooring Aames that destroy timber, forage,
wildlife, and beouty that may never be
lepioced.
Eoch of these persons forgoH-for a moment.
And each thoifghtless act was os destructive'
'YOU can help prevent disastrous forest
Ares by observing the four simple rules illut-
troted here when you're in forest areas. And
by seeing that others observe them.

News
(By V. T. Mullen
A farm drainage survey was made
this week on H. L. Dinkins' farm near
Lugoff. by District personnel. Mr.
Dinkins hag some wet areas that will
benefit from proper Installation of
drainage measures. He is using a
drag-line to do bis excavating, after
which a proposed tile system will be
installed.
A drainage survey was completed
this week on Gillls Ditch which flows
through L. I. Guion's and E. T. Bow
en's farms. The survey reveals con-,
slderable excavating needed to be
done by drag-line in order to get de
sired drainage conditions.
Arthur Pickett and Aaron Chestnut,
colored farmers of the Charlotte
Thompson section, have prepared
their kudzu land and are ready to
plant their crowns. EJarly land prep
aration and early planting are neces
sary steps In order to obtain satisfac
tory results from kudzu. All farmers
are urged to prepare their kudzu fund
now and plant their crowns early,
while farm labor is not so busy.
Many farmers are planning to seed
annual lespedeza this year behind
their small grain, since there is a defi
nite shortage of other summer' leg
umes for hay. I^espedeza is adapted
ta low bottom land soils and will
make good quality bay and is easily
cured. The Kobe variety Is the best
for bay, however Korean will do well
on goc^ land. Ciespedeza Is one of the
best soil-conserving and soil-bulldlng
plants, since It is close-growing and
occupies the land during heavy rain
fall periods.
