Team Gettys, out standing citizenr and civic leader. Foremost in affairs germane to the welfare of Camden and Kershaw county Team Getys held the re spect, admiration and affection of all who knew him. Up to the .time of his illness some months ago he was county attorney over 10 years filling the office with ability and honor. He also served as a representative from Kershaw county. The sympathy of a sorrowinjjp community goes out to the surviving members of the family. A FARMER’S CHANCE (An Editorial, The Greenville Piedmont, Oct. 24, 1947) As the postwar period moves on across the months toward a time which some day it must reach when there will not be the terrific demand for basic and consumer goods the United States has exper ienced up to now, what then for the ordinary farmer? If unorganized, if unrepresented, if uninformed he may face serious consequences. That is the view of those who would now proifiote the banding together of those who look to the soil fr a livelihood and subse quent planning against the time when the way to farm profit will not be so easy to travel. Less than half of the six million families who live on the farm in America are organized in any way. That means they do not have any personal part in what goes on in behalf of the Agricultural industry of the nation and often have little knowledge of what others in their category are doing. Pressure groups have plenty to do with how do mestic issues are regulated and handled these days. We don’t like them always, we do not believe all their tactics are fair but under qur form of government we cannot be without them. The estate of the average farmer has risen con siderably in recent years, due in a large measure to the unusual world situation. Many of the gains made by him are rightful and should be preserved.but they may not be if he doesn’t raise his hand to fight for , their continuance. He cannot stand alone and''aloof and be safe w'hen economic cross currents begin to move and others, ready and strong, begin to navigate them to their own advantage. A farmer can live at home after a fashion but if he wants cash'‘he must reckon with the'rest of the world. He cannot sell to himself and win. AGAINST ALL OF THEM There are some people in almost every com munity who are against all prograss. They fought elec tric lights, waterworks, street paving and hard surface roads, in fact, they have been against anything new. They are like the old New Englander who had reached the age of 100 and was being interviewed. “I suppose” said the reporter, “that you have seen a lot of changes jn your time.” “Yes,” replied the centenarian, “and I have been again every one of them.”—^Lancaster News.

This will pay even though we hare nitrate of soda to top dress next spring. The indications are now that nitrate of soda will be scarce next spring and the peo ple who did not get nitrate of soda last year made jome good grain where they used a complete fertili zer at^he time of planting.
