HORRY'S PROGRESSIVE F is Deoartment are Prepared by Deal With the Problems of the ICounty Farmer. EARLY TOMATOES. To produce early tomatoes have strong stocky plants and set them as soon, as danger from frost is past. It i < best to sow the seed in a hot bed about the middle of February, but good results may be had by sowing them now. When the plants are twoj Inches high transplant them to 4 inch I tiri t; ^ fnmiifn nn.1t _ I \ wilUiVV VwUtO n 1 v 11 I uv; I1IU1 V c<l off and holes made in the bottoms may be used) in order that they may be transferred to the garden without having their roots disturbed. A week or ten days before setting the plants permanently give them very little ' water and allow the beds to remain ui covered except cn cool nights. This will make the plants strong and tough and they will be better to withstand! outside conditions. In case they are! . threatened with frost after being j transplanted to the gaden, place soil! around and over the plan' and allow ; it to remain until the cold spell of! weather luis passed.

One of the most essential ' steps in any live stock development isj 5 the establishment of a good permanent pasture. Experience has shown that Bermuda is the best pasture grass for the ' South. One of its valuable qualities 1 is that it may be planted in practical' Iv any month, the only precaution noc essary in winter being to cover the roots deeply enough. In planting Bermuda grass, it is f best to use the roots. Run turn furrows two feet apart, drop a few roots AtfAllMf "tl'/v P'V A * ?

Allow to grow for one summer with only light grazing, and turn unv der or otherwise break in fall, just at or soon after frost. The long runners thus covered will furnish a new plant , the following season from each covered joint and you will have an excellent sod. If done in this way a good > sod can be obtained within two years at small expense. THE HORRY HERA I ARMERS 44So*l Building ^ ???? and I Able Writers Economic I lorry Production. I Speed the Harrow. The March winds are rapidly evaporating; the water supply from the grain fields. This would not occur if the harrow were run over the grain as soon after each rain as the land crusts over.

Mr. Harding said that if the war continues six months longer the purchasing power of Europe will be seriously impaired and that prices in the countries at war already r?nr>i?_' , , V V . . w i j mously advanced.

Should they! decide during the next few weeks to! produce their foodstuffs at home and! to plant cootton as a money crop,; their position will be secure, but if; disregarding all warnings and portents of the times, they decide upon a policy of all cotton they will be taking a tremendous risk which no prudent business man would care to assume.", Mr. Harding said the ability and disposition of the banks of the United States to take care of the legitimate wants of their customers as well as to i carry well secured loans for others,j has never been greater than at present.
