A True Friend Watch out for the man who urges you into a fight. There are ten people . ‘ who will urge you into a scrap to one who will back you up after you are into it. True friends are few and far be tween, the kind that will back you -up in time of need. One mighty good friend that never goes back on you is the big round dollar. It works at in terest for you night and day, is al ways willing to do your bidding and ready to render you service. Don’t throw your dollars around recklessly. Good friends are rare. Put your dol- las in a good bank like ours, where they are safe and ready to serve you when needed. This is as good a time as any to begin. 1 Bank of Western Carolina Head Office Aiken, 8. C.

C £ Miss Mary Howard, of Savannah, arrived in the city Sunday afternoon and will spend sonve time with Mr. and Mrs. William McNab. Whether it is to be used as a foot for the table, as a feed crop for the animals or a producer of starch, th sweet potato is probably one of the most profitable crops the South Caro lina farmer can grow. The best method of planting sweet potatoes is with cuttings from vines. If slip beds were not set out early enough this year for plants to be sufficiently large for good vine cut tings at this time, or if no slips were grown, it is advisable to buy cuttings from a neighbor. . Planting slips is more expensive than vine cuttingss. Besides, the fungi which produce rots are less likely to be carried on a ivine cutting than on slips pulled directly from the old potatoes. Thus potatoes grown from vine cuttings will probab ly be freer from rot than those grown from slips A fe'.'.’lizer suggested for sweet po tatoes u 500 pounds of kanit, 300 pounds of cotton seed meal and 200 pounds of 16 per cent phosphate. This should be applied at the rate of 800 to 1000 pounds per acre. Frequent shallow cultivation in im portant in sweet potato growing, as in the culture of many other crops. ***************** * * * STANDING OF THE CLUBS * * • • ••••*•*•*•*****' Barnwell—Bamberg County League.
