-HELP. ON FARMS'!% SAVE THE CROPS Patriotic Duty In the Present Crisis Pointed Out by Governor Manning, Who Urges Neighbors to Volunteer Part Time to Working Farms From Whloh Men Have Been Called ihto the Army. Columbia.--As a war measure, to be applied individually where conditions, demand it, and as a means of saving a vast amount of foodstuffs and feed. stuffs as well as other crops, Governor Manning, in a call to the patriotism of the people of the rural sections of South Carolina, urges that neighbors lend of their time to help work the crops on farms from which men have been drafted into the army. The gov ernor's statement follows: "The necessity of sending men over } seas as rapidly as possible is greater than ever before. More and more men must be drafted in to the army. The War Department finds it impos sible to grant furloughs to these men who have been called away from the farms. The need of men is greater in the army. I realite that the short age of farm labor is a serious handi cap. Crops must be cultivated. A little later the harvests will be on. I'n, this situation I urge that, in every community throughout the State, neighbors, who know local conditions, *ind themselves and give of their time to help on the farms from whieh " operators and laborer. have bnth taken into the arn~w. rn this n a In this way only, will a great economic lose be avoided. In this way cas a great amount of foodstuffs and feed stuffs, too precious in view of war -demands and war conditions to lose, but which will otherwise probably be lost, be saved. This kind of service is, and should be regarded, as real war work. There exists a great op portunity to serve patriotically and unselfishly, in a way that will count heavily, and I hope that our people will be quick to see and grasp it. MAXIMUM CANNING WITH MINIMUM USE OF SUGAR Columbia.--Fruits may be canned without sugar for next winter's use. This will be good news to many housewives who are handicapped in their canning operations by the limit that the Food Administration has found it necessary to put on the amount of sugar that can be purchas ed for canning and preserving.

Copies of this bulletin may be had by writing the Depart mnent at Washington. Ask for Bulle tin No. 839. Full Instructions will be found on page 15. Other bulletins issued by the De partment of Agriculture give instruc O tions for maximum canning with mini mum sugar. Home canners should write the Department for Bulletins No.. 859, 863, 900, and 984. EXPERT TELLS HOW TO SELECT SEED CORN Colunlblaj-Tie Food Administrg.

FARMERS MAY SELL HOME-GROWN WHEAT Columbia.-Farmers who have grown wheat may, under recently modified regulations of the Food Ad ministration, sell wheat or flour to their neighbors under certain condi tions. Purchasers of wheat from farmers may have it ground on the same basis as the farmer who raised it, .but in suchi cases they will be -expected to use flour substitutes pound for pound with the flour. When -farmiers sell flour to individuals they mnust sell flour substitutes with it, or take miller's certidecates fisom the pur-. chaser, showing that flour substitutes have been ground to cover the aynount of flour bought, pound for pound.

The German was discovered in Easley by Nesbitt Sullivan, a 13-year-old news boy, who notified officers. Citizens of Greenville will present young Sullivan with $100 worth of War Savings Stamps for his good work. -In speaking of the mistake made about the date of closing of the club rolls last week, the type made the editor of The Sentinel say "It does not look like the political leaders would have discovered the mistake before they did." What we intended to say was "It DOES look like the political leaders would have discovered the mis take before they did.'" -Prof. J. L.
