The scarcity ot good cotton plant ing seed in Kershaw County Is becom ing more and more apparent as the planting season approaches. Ail fsr- mci^ are urged to have their seed tested Immediately. Most of the teats conducted rec^tly on last year's seed have averaged D^ow 80 per cent This exceptionally .^low average Inelndsa tests on seed only one year from source. Many local farmers do not habitual ly test their seed prior to planting, however. In view of the obvious low quality of laat year’s seed in general, your Chamber pf Commerce atrongly urgea that every effort be made to test'planting aeed immadlataly. Bad seed used on a scale as wMeemwad as that indicated by recent lasts would have a moat * devastating effect on local prosperity. Farmers aware sf this sttuation are urged te ooxtaet their neighhprs, renters, ead share croppers In regard to tiiti. Many dol lars and much already scares lalxv can be seved by prcmipt aetton.
