Potash will help pro duce a thick stand because cover crops, especially the legumes, respond well- to potaslr. It also speeds up an early and heavy spring growth high in nitrogen and minerals for grazing or turning under. Fertilizing winter cover crops is one of the best and safest ways of applying part of the fertilizer for the cash crop to follow.

However. Camden persuaded Kerr to go there Friday aherboon. The league presi dent in the meantime, called Sum ter to let Man.nger Osward Hobbs know of the incident as he wanted everything to be “above board.” He told Hobbs the team which played Kerr Friday night would .be the one which would get him. Hobbs Jumped into his antomobile and went to Columbia where he found Kerr pitching to batting practice. Hobbs got bis man and brought him to Sumter Just in time for Kerr to fill In for “Hutch” Hutch inson. who had been delayed in his trip here from Gaffney. “After Hntchinson had been flown bore by plane from Gaffney he was used at first base.

A lovely lady who seldom misses a ball game stopped to tell us that she would have enjoyed Friday’s game a lot more If Hkrtsville had had the same powerhouse It pre sented the previous week. For the benefit of this lovely lady we 'would like to explain that with the birtfeptfon of 'Thomas, who was missing from first base last Fri day, the roster of the Sonocos was Just the same.

If you fans, in reading the story of the last Friday game, gpt the idea that the press box has gone nuts—bear with us. What happen ed was not oar fault. We’ll tell-yon all about It some day. A new strikeout record for tho Palmetto league was bun up by the Camden chnnker. who retired 18 via the whiff roate. This ume chap also poled a homer with the sacks loaded. His other hit was a spanking double. Speaking of pitchers.
