[j Clemson College.?The sweet potato

J but matures no seed in this state

good corn grower would not think ol
planting nubbins. Why should the

I Select healthy uniform roots; split
L , the stems and examine for stem rot
Mj If the stems are blackened inside dc
v not use for seed; throw out all roots
[ with nearly round sunken, black spots

jp It is very necessary to treat the
[ seed before bedding. Immerse foi
I five to eigh minutes in a solution oi
f formaldehyde (commercial 40 pei
cent) made by deluting one quart ir
t fifty gallons of water. For a large
quantity of potatoes make up fift>
. gallons of the solution and aftei
f 1 treating ten bushels, bring the
J strength up by adding more watei
and more formaldehyde in the propor}
tion given above. Bed the potatoes
j immediately.
Locate the bed on southeastern exposure,
with protection from wind and
in easy reach of water. Good drain}
age is necessary and new land is pre>
ferred. Break land deep, scoop out

A DEVICE THAT WILL KEEP
LAND FROM FLOODING
Turns lands into farm lands by
keeping land thoroughly dried and
preventing back-water flooding.
Means big things for farmers in prolonged
rainy seasons, such as we
have recently experienced.
America is truly "the land of progress,"
and the great American mind
is over evolving ways and means to
meet and overcome the new and
changing conditions that arise almost
dnilv.
Farming is the biggest business in
the United States, but there are certain
rainy seasons of the year when
the farmers are unable to conduct
their business, due to wet lands, but
wot lan/io ~ ~" ? ? ' ?'
"v. iuiiuo ?.aii iiu lunger ue Kiven as
an excuse for not cultivating: the soil,
for now comes the "Calco" water
rntn that enables the farmer to control
water on his farm .
This device is one of the great forward
steps in the farming business.
It literally turns swamp lands into
farm lands, and enables the farmer to
grow crops where none grew before.
It nets as a drain in excessive wet
weather and prevents flooding on account
of back-waters. It enables
crop planting at all seasons and saves
crops from floods. And best of all,
it is entirely automatic. Once installed
the farmer never has to worry
with it. It takes care of itself as
well as the crops.
HORRYLEADS
SWEET POTATOES
Salucln. April 4.?Horry Countv was
the chief sweet potato producing
county of South Carolina, last year,
according* to statistics issued here by
B. B. Hare, statistician for the Unit
ed States department of agriculture.
That county's yield was 561,000
bushels, worth $398,736, as of December
1st. Oransceburg was second
on the list with 550,000 bushels valued
at $390,509. The best yield per
acre reported was 104 bushels, which
was the average for Horry, Dillon,
vl Marlboro counties.
PROHI OFFICER
SHOT TO DEATH
Federal Prohibition Officer J. L.
Youmans, of Florence, was shot from
ambush and killed shortly after midnight
last week while making a raid
on a moonshine still ' ih Darlington
v* . t ?* -
<jounty about 7 miles west of Hartsville.
Only one shot was fired by the
moonshiners, the bullet striking the
officer just above the hip and ranging
upwards. He immediately fell and
expired in about ten minutes,
As soon as he fired, the man ran
and the officers in the party opened
fire \ipon him, sending some five or
six?#hots in his direction, but he evidently
was not hit, as he managed to
escape in the swamp. Officers from
Florence and Darlington counties was
scouring the swamp with bloodhounds,
in an effort to pick up the murderer's
trail.
The body of the dead officer was
brought back to Hartsville and prepared
for burial and was brought to
his home, 117 South Gilliard street,
Florence.
Mr. Youmans .and his family went
to Florence from B?<esburg lost September
and have been -living there
since.
Besides his wife, the dead officer is
survived by two children, a son.
Clsudc Youmans. who is in the Ha
w:jiian Islands, and a daughter, Miss
Florence Youmans. Immediately up
on hearing that her husband had beei

In the raiding party with Mr. Youmans
were Federal Officer G. P
Stacoy of Florence. Rural Policemen
Fields, Seegars, and Scarborough, and
Earnest Carter. According to one of
the men on the raiding party, the officers
had been surrounding the place
since early dark, waiting for the operators
to begin before closing in and
making the arrest. Officers Youmans
and Fields were sitting together in the
thicket, some distance from the still
when the shooting occurred. Late in
the night two men approached the
still and prepared to start up operations,
when they heard a noise in. the
woods nearby and one of the men
from the still went to investigate

ORCHARD AND GARDEN HINTS
Clemson College.?Remember that
with the opening' of 1023 we resolved
to have better orchards and gardens.
We can expect to live up to this resolution
only hv constant work. Cover
crons should have been plowed under,
or this should be done at once, for the
old growth of a cover crop will not
decay as quickly as it should, and the
maturing cover crop will handicap the
growth of the trees by taking up both
moisture and plant food, and may harbor
insects. The young orchard especially
should have no handicap to
Arrow rapidly. If no cover crop was
nlanted, a thorough cultivation at this
would be very helpful.
Do not give up all hopes of having
fruit this year, for the crop might yet
s'vnrise you. Examine your trees
and even if you have only a small
percentage of fruit, make your plans
to smvny. and thus you will harvest

Clomson College, for a summer
spraying: program.
There is no reason why a single can
of tomatoes should be opened during
the summer by a farm family, nor
should the farmer and small town
gardener pay from 10 to 20 cents a
pound for slicing: tomatoes. If your
tomato plants are not growing as
rapidly us they should grow, select a
few of the best developed plants and
transplant in small flower pots or tin
cans, which have had the top melted
off. The plants will grow off rapidly
when thus transplanted, and as soon
as the soil warms up well transplanting
can be made to the open ground.
Select ground on which tomatoes did
not grow last year.

H fvnm hAneath t.h# skin on the
right side.
As soon as he was struck, Mr. Youmans
cried out that he was shot and
fell to the prround, where he expired.
The man who fired the shot turned
~nd ran into the swamp. Officer
Fields emptied his pistol at him /is he
fled. Although it is not definitely
known whether the two moonshiners
were white or black, the belief is that
thev were white men.
Up to two o'clock the posse of officers
and citizens who went to the
scene with bloodhounds, had failed to
catch the men, although two negroes
were arrested, who are suspected of
knowing something about the parties.
As soon as the bloodhounds were taken
to the still, they immediately picked
ut> the trail and led the posse to
the place where the man had dropped
his pistol when he turned to run. Alot
this place two coats were picked
up.
Federal Officer Stacey returned to
the city and stated that up to that
time the men who were at^the still had
not been captured.

BANK WINS IN \l
JUSTICE CASE i
In the two cases of Bank of Little |
River against B. H. Justice, verdicts
were rendered in favor of the plaintiff.
In the one case against B. H.
Justice and. Mrs. Gertrude Justice,
on two notes, the jury found a verdict
for $538.32. In the other case which
was against B. H. Justice alone, the
verdict in favor of the bank was the
sum of $158.79.
The suits had been pending in the
court for about two years. There
was a contest in the suit first above
mentioned in which the larger verdict
was rendered. In this suit the
bank had claimed about eight hundred
dollars and the jury reduced the
amount as found by the verdict. In
the other case the defendant withdrew
his answer and the iury were instructed
to find a verdict for the full amount
ctaimuu in the complaint with attorney's
fees.
