Lindensweig of the Kershaw section, has developed a good perma nent pasture on bis bottom land by cldkning and straightening -the chan nel of Hanging Rock creek. Mr. Lindensweig has plenty of Dsllis grass, lespedesa and Dutch clover In his mixture and It certainly shows signs of being treated with i^osphate and lime. He mows his pasture as often as necessary to control weed growth and aprouta. W. M. Peak. Rabona Cross Roads, who Is cooperating with the Lynches River Soil Conservation district pro gram. has a demonstration of the com- paritlTS value of com following cow- peas turned under and following a growth of Spectobllia crotolaria. The test is on the sand soil type, planted, fertilized and worked in the same manner and Mr. Peake estimates that his yield of corn will be 10-15 bushels per acre higher on plot following cro tolaria. He is convinced that croto laria is the best summer legume for improving sandhill land. He also has a good Tolumtary growth as a cover crop and erosion control measure. Nick Watts of Lugoff. recently cut eight two-horse wagon loads of lespe- deza from three acres of serloea. Sericea is a deep-rooted perenlal that protects (he land and at the same time produces quality low coat bay. Soil surveys and farm conservation plans were recently nude by the SoH ronservallon Service on the farms of O. H. Bowen and Carl Kabon of the IMne Grove section. Notes FVom Chamber Of Commerce A delegation from tbe transporta tion committee of "tbs Camden and Kershaw Cranty Chamber of Com merce met in Charlotte laat ws^ with representatives of the highway committee of the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce. Several problems rela- tivs to tbe proposed super highway through South Carolina to the mid west were considered at that time. The members of the delegation from here were cordially entertained at a luncheon with the Charlotte Junior Chamber. Tbe problems involved in the pro posed plan for closing retail stores in Camden on Wednesday afternoons the year round seem to be very com plicated ones. Th^ problems to be solved for one type of merchandiser vary considerably from those consid ered imiMrtant by another. In addi tion, many of the chain store man agers are not as free to adopt local rules aa are the locally owned estab lishments. The commerce and trade committee of yonr CHiamber will hold a meeting this week to consider the8e problems and recommendations will then be made to the merchants. Ytutr Chamber of Commerce is acting pure ly as a coordinating agent for this effort and will not ‘appear In advo cacy of either side. Mnch local Intet’est is being mani fested in the^ suggestion that the Camden Library and .the Kershaw ^nnty Library be merged into one strong unit Many are of tbe opinion that one strong unit would be of more senrioe to the people of the com munity than two weaker units. This idea will be considered by your Cham ber as an important project to be in cluded In the program for this year’s activities. We note with pride that the Com mercial Bank of Camden on Oct. 1. became the Commercial National Bank. This action now gives Camden two National banks. The Chamber of Commerce extends its congratulations. New9 From The County AgenFs Office Charles Cameron Is Now Sergeant Announcement is made of the pro motion of Charles C.
