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.

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.

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

The memorial Ls a beauty the approval of

We congratulate the patriotic people of Lancaster coun

county might haYe had a similar idea.
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.
