McCarley, County Asent Smalf Grain CONGRATULATIONS LANCASTER Last Monday the good people of Lancaster and Lancas ter county unveiled 6 war memorial that would do credit to a community ten times the size of Lancaster. Ifwas a per manent memorial to the men and women who are in the armed forces of this nation in the present war. The memorial is not complete, in fact, thfe most import ant work, the placing thereon of the names of the men and women of Lancaster county who are in the servici^..—Because of the scarcity of bronze the plates with the names on them can not be obtained until after the war. Due to the sboitage’of hay crop* !t is going to*^ be more important than erer that farmers plant a large small grain crop this fall. A mixture of oats and vetch will make a good, hay crop to supplement the small crop that are now hanreeting. South Carolina leads the Southern states in the production of oaUi. The Kershaw County com yield la so low on the average that it is more profit^ able to grow oats than com. If pos sible oats should be sown In October and more and more farmers are be. ginning to realize the importance of fertilizing small grain at the time of plutlng. The fertilizer recdmmended is from 200 to pounds of 3-12-d per acre. Harvesting Sweet Potatoes Potatoes should be harvested before frost whether you are - going to sell them or keep them for home use. The dehydration ^ plant is now buying sweet potatoes. You should contact Mr. Smith, manager of the plant, be fore harvesting if you plan to sell to him. Destroy Cotton Stalks We have an opportunity this year provided we get the cotton picked, to CbariMte Grki<l«r» Wm PUy Camden Bnlldofs Tonight (Continued from first page) now that Coach Lindsay Pierce hid some misgivings when the Bulldogs faced the Gamecocks two weeks ago, because seyerai of- his regulars were in only fair'condition due to injuries. “They Just didn’t get hit where It would hurt them,” declared the coach. The performance of the Bulldogs this season has marked Uie team to be one of the truly great aggregations of Bulldog history. In fact, some of the bleadier experts declare it to be the most outstanding. Carol Cox has had the brilliance of a blazing meteor and he has been given ace-hlgh sup. port from ten other guys on tiie team. The lad Is without a doubt in'll class by himself as a high school run ning back. Two other Bulldogs are also doing a fine Job in their respec tive positions, namely Ij^ed Marshall, tackle and Jim Oandy, blocking back. These boys have really opened up the path for Galloping Carol. The game tonight starts at 8 o’clock and gates will be open at 7 p. m. Game Tonight To Be WeU Attended J. W. Sheorn Dies At (By a Student) Camden High School peoble are ex pecting a big crowd at Zemp Field tonight to see. the Charleston Ban tams play the Camden Bulldogs. The game will get underway at eight o’clock sharp. The approximate ca pacity of the fleld la 2,700, but a prob able gathering of 2,800 attended the Camden-Sumter game. The two grand, stands together will hold only about 2,200 and the standing room at the ends of the field and by the light hablM is about 500. It would be advisable to come early and get a seat rather than have to stand at the end of the field. Tickets will be on sale at the City Drug Company and all who find it convenient should get tickets there to ^void waiting in llfie at the gate. Ad mission prices will be, for adults, 50c; for students and non-commissioned service men, 2Sc, and for colored ■adults, 50c; for commissioned offic- destroy the cotton stalks before they have a chance to increase the popula tion of boU weevils.

In addition to the gate facing the main entrance, the Camden-Sumter highway will be open. Please co-oi>- ■erate with this appeal from the Ath letic Association. * Drive Carefully—Save a life.

SUCCESS WITH!ONIONS —;^"The Hartsville Messenger relates Uiat in February a call vTM made to Darlington farmers to plant onions for the new dehydration plant at Camden. Reports made by nine of ten nt ax farmers canvassed oy the Hartsville chamber of commerce as to results show that the venture proved highly successful. .The nine farmers reporting -planted a total of 15.26 acres, on which they harvested 56.64 tons, or an average of 3.06 tons to the acre. Eight growers sold their product to the Camden plant at $70 a .ton, the other selling his retail at $80 a ton. The total receipts amounted to $3,307.80, or an average of $216.90 an acre. The heaviest yield was 10.6 tons on two acres, or 6.26 tons to the acre, which was made by S. E. Kelly of Kellytown. Kght of the nine farmers, asked if they would plant onions again, replied with an emphatic “yes.” This is a sample of what can be done with South Carolina land when the facilities are made available for convenient disposal of the produce. However, the fact that these farm ers di(l well with their onions should not* be taken as a signal for all farmers to plant onions on a large scale. Also lack ing in The Messenger's report is the cost of production and amount of labor required to work and harvest the crop.—The SUte. ARE YOU DOING YOUR PART? With the Allies on the move towards ultimate victory, there is danger that we might relax our efforts on the home front. One of our most dangerous enemies is rising prices. Runaway prices will destroy the value of everything that we have. Now is the time to protect our future. Let's be careful and not buy another depression. Don’t pay above ceiling prices. Avoid black mailcets. Buy War Bonds regularly. Surely, after five years a unit citation is due the brave populace of Dover, or any one else who lives under a bowling alley.
