held a meeting bringing in outside
help in order that the situation migfot
he discussed intelligently and decide
v upon a farming programme that is
safe and profitable. At the closing
of this meeting a committee of seven
was appointed to draw up the programme
to present to the people in a
meeting, for their approval.
This committee has carefully prepared
this farming programme,

the farmers of this community, will
relieve the situation greatly and at
the same time put farming on a more
solid basis than it has ever been for
i many years. This programme puts
forth in writing What was put forth

a gpide. We can say to you that it is
, . safe in every particular.

I or course you are interested to
know how and where to market the
craps called for in this programme.
In this connection we wish to say

that there is a steady market for
?- every crop and that'we will be only
too glad to get a market, provided
Efc' you will produce the crops and put
them in marketable condition.

Cash Crops.
Cotton: Destroy all stalks immediately
by using stalk cutter and
turning under. Plant oats, rye and
wheat as trap crop .for hibernating
weevils. Clean up all ditch banks
and around the edges of the fields for
a distance of 200 feet, but do not
burn the woods. Plant from four to
?pvftn ?nr?s ner nlow of the Cleveland
I Big Boll variety or Dixie Trumph wilt
resistant variety on wilt infested land.
Fertilize with, 50 pounds of nitrate
of soda at planting time and 400
pounds of acid phosphate per acre.
This will hasten maturity and check
i excessive growth of weed. Rapid
M cultivation through picking of
HA early weevils and punctured
H squares through Juns and the use of
RUMft winter cover crops is specially urged.
There is no single factor that will
-control the weevil, but a rigid appliHnH
cation of the foregoing factors is the
KBHBB only hope of success. The acreage
OHBS can vary from four to seven dependHH
ing on the land and labor. (Note:
HnfllgA Mr. Winters, our soil expert, recommends
the use of not over 300 pounds
BaHB of acid phosphate per acre instead
400 nrtiin r?c 1
VI -Z V V
IB Peanuts: Each plow should have
H|HH[K three acres of white Spanish peanuts
planted for the market. Plant
|HH& in 30 inch rows and four inches in
H^H^|wthe drill. It is important that they
kept free from grass and harvest|
Bed at the right stage of maturity.
| WIr" the nuts can not be harvested in a
crocus bag, they can be marketed
WBt
me Outlined
f Ehrhardt Section

i "
i through live stock profitably.
Hogs: We recommend the con|
servative development of the hog ini
dustry as farm conditions will justify
for a cash crop in a limited way.
Use a sow and from one to two sows
! per plow. Due to lack of space here,
you are referred to extension circular
27, "A Forage System for a Sow and
Two Litters," for further information,
copy of which will be furnished
on request.
Potatoes: We recommend the development
of the sweet potato in
dustry, planting one acre per plow
of the Porto Rico variety. Vine cuttings
should be used in setting the
acreage, taken from a small area of
slip settings that will be necessary
to have in order to grow the vines.
This crop is marketable in car lots
during September and October; being
marketed in cloth-top slatted barrels
similar to the method of marketing
Irish potatoes along the coast.
We should have a curing house for
| storing the crop tor sale during the
winter and spring.
Corn and Velvet Beans or Peanuts
or Soy Beans Or Cow Peas: We recommend
ten acres per plow of corn
with one or more of the above crops
for hogging off during the fall and
winter. All corn cribs that can be
made air tight should be made so at
once and all corn cribs built in the
future should be made air tight in
order that we can fumigate to de
V
stroy the weevils. At present the
corn is so badly damaged with wee
vils that it is unfit for sale.
For early planting use Osceola velvet
beans and late planting use the
Eearly Speckled velvet beans. Use
the bvjnch beans where farmers wish
to gather fodder, but we do> not advise
this practice.
The variety of cow peas tyest suited
to this section is Brabham.
Plant the flat or runner variety of
peanuts for fall and winter hogging.
It is advised that each farmer try in
an experimental way a small patch
of Mammoth Yellow soy beans.
** " - " "? 0?;i TDn-i 1 ^
Follow a iragrauiuie ui oua uuauing:
Plant a winter cover crop on
all clean cultivated lands using oats,
rye, wheat and vetch. This will stop
the plant food from leaching out of
the soil during excessive rains in the
winter months. Turn these crops
under in the spring if you deem it advisable.
You are familiar with the
summer programme of soil building
using velvet beans, peas and peanuts,
etc.

thanksgiving union service was held
this pvprnn??Wednesdav. The Rev.
Hamlin Etheridge preached the sermon.
Special music was arranged
and a good service was held.
Many Children Underweight.
A report showing the result of the
recent weighing of the pupils of the
Ehrhardt school discloses the fact
that while a few of our boys ana girls
are overweight and some normal,
there are many who are underweight.
Just why so many boys and girls are
abnormal in this respect we are not
prepared to explain, but it is a fact
nevertheless.
Arbor Day.
Last Friday was Arbor day, which
day is designated by law for obser
vance by the public schools of the
state in such manner as will be most
fitting and profitable. To teach and
encourage children in the planting of
trees and flowers is a very commendable
thing, to say the least. It teaches
them the estimable habit of working
for and giving to the future those
things that shall bless the generations
yet to come, and at the same time
provide for themselves needful things,
the grandeur and beauty of which appeal
to the best, the highest, the noblest
in them. Ehrhardt has a splendid
school building, one which all can
be justly proud of. Around this
building is plenty of' ground which
holds the possibilities of being made
the most beautiful and attractive spot
in this part of the county. And yet
it remains unsightly and unattractive,
because there are those of our citizens
who apparently believe that the
first duty of a town is to provide unlimited
grazing facilities for the cattle.
The public grounds and private
nrpmispc r?f thp tnwn nrnvidp nastnrp
r w ?" ? r- ^ * - ? ? *
land that, rivals that of our great
prairies or the rich grazing plains of
the South American pampas. And
this is why our school cannot fittingly
and profitably observe Arbor day,
nor can it ever do so until it is otherwise.

Baptist Revival
Closed on Tuesday
The service on Tuesday evening
concluded the revival meeting at the
Bamberg Baptist church, which has
lasted for a little more than a week.
As a result of the services, there has
been a number of additions to the
church.
A great deal of interest was taken
in the meeting throughout. Large
congregations have attended the
evening services, while the day services
were not so largely attended.
The preacher, Dr. George E. Davis, of
A I 1 - J 111. - A ^ i
wrangeuurg, nas preaciieu wna great
power and effectiveness. Dr. Davis
is gifted in speech and earnestness,
and his appeals to church members
for a revival of Christianity were especially
effective.
Sunday morning an invitation was
extended to all church members of
whatever denominational belief, to
renew their Christian vows and loyalty
to God, and hundreds availed
themselves of the opportunity of reconsecrating
themselves to the service
of their Master.
Sunday evening all the churches
united in the service. No services
were held Saturday morning, but the
usual pvpnin? service was held at
7:30.
The service Tuesday evening was
one of he greatest inspirational
meetings ever held in Bamberg. Following
a sermon full of spirituality
and appeal, five persons united with
the church. Before the close of the
service, Dr. Davis requested every
member of the Methodist church present
to come* forward and give their
hnnHc tn thp Methodist nastor. Mr.
Cantey, expressing thereby their loyalty
to God and their church, and renewing
their Christian vows. In response
to this invitation numbers
reconsecrated themselves to the service
of God.
Following this a similar invitation
was extended to the Presbyterian and
Baptist members, which was freely
accepted. There was a beautiful spirit
oi> brotherly love in this, service,
and all others .throughout the meetings.
The pastors of the different
congregations of the city cooperated
throughout the services to make the
revival an entire success. About 38
additions were made to the Baptist
church by profession of faith and by
church letters.
It is felt that the revival has meant
much nc; only to the Baptist congregation
but to the entire town.

90 per cent, in her various studies.
The next afternoon his mother saw
