Garrison, in charge, Seed Cer tlflcation. Ha says that from past experience it has been found that those farmers planting good seed on eoll which is infested with noxious weeds and other type small grain have experienced a lot of difficulty in producing high quality certified seed. “Glean ,land,' preferably where cotton has been growing, should be selected as the fields in which to grow clean seed,” he suggests By following this practice, much time will be saved In getting a field to meet certification stan darda. “Good seed is the cheapest thing a fanner can use In the production of a crop, and it is to hit advant age to buy seed directly from the breeder or as close to the breeder a* possible,” he continues. “Those farmers desiring to produce blue tag certified seed should plant the breeder, or registered, seed and those desiring to produce the red tag certified seed should plant the blue tag seed, the increase from red tags seed to not eligible for further certification, but those farmers using such seed can be assured that it is only two years from the breeder and has met all standards, both in the field and the laboratory Insofar as the cer tification program to concerned,” he explains. Mr. Garrison points ou> that the supply of registered, or certified seed has been wholly inadequate as only a very small percentage o' the normal crop could be planted with such seed. This type ot see< is of known origin, true to type free of all noxious weeds and with a high germination. The increase from registered, or certified, seed should more than pay wor the in creased coat of common field-run seed, he adds. Those farmers desiring full par ticulars of the seed certification program may write to the S.

Traffic Accidents Take Heavier Toll Traffic accidents are taking greater toll in human lives this year than in IMA it is indicated by a report released by the acci- in Annapo the illustrous DeKalb, who lost his. life in the historic Battle of Camden, Aug. 1780. The unveiling of the statue marked the 106th anni versary of the death of DeKalb, and, in two separate stories, the per described not only the un tiling ceremony but an account of the life of DeKalb as well. The Chronicle is reprinting excerpts from these two stories, which were printed in hand-set ype in The Philadelphia Weekly Times for Saturday, Aug. 21, 888: “The statue of Baron DeKalb was unveiled in front of the State House today in the pres ence of 10,000 people. The cadets of the Naval Academy, State miltia and civic organizations participated in a parade. Secre- ary Bayard received the status from Ephriam Keyser, the sculp tor, ana in the course of his aa% dress said: - “There are those who tell us that political parties are essential and cannot be worked and incited to enthusiastic action except by personal ambition and the spoils of place, patronage, and profit; that such emoluments are essen tial stimulants to public duty and that without them necessary party cannot be accom- this be true I should contain the inscription originally chosen by the Continental Con- as follows: to the memory of the DeKalb, Knight of the Order of Military Merit, ier of the Armies of France and Major General in the Seervice of the United States of America. Having served with honor am reputation for three years, he, a last and glorious proof of his at tachment to the liberties of man kind and the cause of America in the action near Camden, S. G on the 16th of Aug., 1780, where, leading on the troops of the Mary land and Delaware lines agains superior numbers and animatin them by his example to deeds o: valor, he was pierced with many wounds and on the 19th follow ing expired, in the 48th year of his age. The Congress of the United States, in gratitude to his zeal, service ana merit, have erected this monument.’ “It is to be hoped that the committee having the matter in charge will correct the mistake as to the age of Baron DeKalb. He was in his 60th year. , “DeKalb was buried by Corn wallis with military honors. His grave was visited by Washing ton in 1791, and as he stood upon the spot he said: ’So here liea the brave DeKalb, the generous stranger, who came from a distant land to fight our battles and to water with his blood the tree of our liberty.’ ” Cash Income From Cotton Crop In State Is Short Dr. KoH D.

Camden. 8. C* Oct II, 1949. CITATION The State of South Carolina, County of Kershaw. By N.« C. Arnett, Probate Judge: Whereas J. B. McGuirt made suit to me to grant him Letters of Administration of the Istate and effects of W. P. McGuirt These are, therefore, to cite and admonish all and singular the Kindred and Creditors of the said W. P. McGuirt, deceased, that they be and appear before me, in the Courtof Probate, to be held at Camden, SL CL, on November 5th., next, after publication here of, at 11 o'clock in the forenoon, to shew cause, if any they have, why the said Administration should not be granted. 39T2tc Given under my hand this 21st day of Oct, Anno Domini 1949. N. a ARNETT, < Judge of Probate despair of the Republic, for then Deitalb fell in vain and this statue has little value or mean ing. It speaks in denial of all this, and if we but heed its utterances they will revive in our hearts the sentiment that inspired this man and made this a free, virtuous and patriotic military service in this country, in which danger is calm ly faced, privations undergone and blood freely poured out, and equally is there a patriotic civil service In which toil and anxious care are faithfully bestowed for the preservation of the peace and honor and profit of the na tion’ “The exercises dosed by an ora tion by Col. J. Thomas Scharf, in Which he detailed the services of DeKalb to America. “When the gallant DeKalb fell, mortally wounded, at the Battle of Camden, S. C- on the 16th of August, 1780, the Continental Congress very promptly, on the 14th of October following, un animously passed a resolution providing for the erection of a monument to tha old hero. As De Kalb lost his life while command ing the Maryland line, Annapolis, the capital of that state, was se lected as the most appropriate place for the proposed monument. With the provertual ingratitude of republics, nothing was done in the matter for nearly 190 years, when, in 1878, CoL J. Thomas Scharf, a member of the House of Delegates of the State of Mary land, unearthed the original reso lution and secured the passage of another invoking the assistance of the Maryland Representatives and Seenators in Congress in such ac tion as would carry out the act of 1780, which was done, and in 1881 an appropriation of $10,000 was made for the monument Ephraim Keyser, a gifted young Maryland sculptor, received the contract for the statue, against many competitors. “Ephriam Keyser has recently returned from Rome. By the terms of the original contract the statue was to be ready by the first day of July, 1888, but last year, while removing the clay model from one part of his studio to another for better light, it fell on the floor and waa broken to pieces. An extension of time was then allowed until May, 1887. “Soon after securing the order. The October issue of the Clem son Extension Farm Situation and Outlook points out that if the cot ton crop in this state is only 550,-• 000 bales as shown by the October 1 estimate, it will be the smaller crop since 1941 and the third smallest in 57 years. It would be 37 per cent below last year’s pro duction of 871,000 bales. The short crop is due to a combina tion of rain, weevil and boll rot damage. - v ' ' Prepared by P. S. Williamson, Clemson extension farm manage ment specialist, from information of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics* USD A, the release Rome to design, and after m laborious study hich Mr. Keyser work out his several years has completed a statue wi will be a credit to the hero and to fije artist The total height of the monument will be 22 feet The statue to of bronze, eight and a half feete, with a plinth six inches in height The pedestal is lists an indicated cottonseed pro duction of 225,000 tons for the state and estimates the total in come from cotton and cotton sead at about 91 million dollars which SrotiSi be 58 million dollars lew than the 149 million dollars in come from these sources in the state in 1948. Recent reports show that the grade of cotton ginned in this state through October 17 has averaged considerably lower than for the same period a year ago. Middling and higher grades repre sent only 22 per cent of the cot ton ginned on the above date as compared with 48 per cent at the same time last year. Mr. Williamson calls attention to the fact that the proportion of cotton reduced in grade due to rough preparation in the state is smaller this season than for last season even though cotton has been trashier and higher in ture content Reports show that through October 17 reductions in grade in this state due to rough preparation have averaged 5.9 per cent as compared with 8.5 per cent as of this date last year. The good job done in ginning cotton this year is due to better gin equipment and the fact that ginners are taking more interest in preparation of cotton for gin ning. In his release he also calls at tention to the fact that the staple length of cotton ginned this sea son has averaged a little shorter in the stfte this year than at the same date last year. In commenting on the general outlook for cotton, he says: “TTie position of domestic cotton in the 1949-50 season appears less fav orable than at any time in the postwar period. The supply is in dicated at over 20 rnfflion bales. The prospect it that the require ments (domestic mill consumption phis exports) will ha no higher «*d may be lower than the dia- Bringing order out of a verit- able maize of canvas, stakes, poles, wire cables, rigging, device! and paraphernalia sprawled in heaps and piles all over the cir cus grounds is one of never-end ing amazement to all those de votees of America’s only unof ficial, but none the less an of ficially recognized holiday that's not in red on the calendar—Cir cus Day.
