W ..AL SALES Of SUGAR OI.OSELY WACHED Retail Dealers Required by the Food Administration to Keep Accurate Records Which Will Be Carefully Checked Up by County Food Ad. ministrators. Columbia. Aug. 3.--"It is sternly necessary for the retailers to super. vise the sale of sugar and prevent those who are greedy and unp.triotic from obtaining more than their share," says the Food Administration in an order requiring the retailer to keep a record of all sugar males mrade. A carbon copy of this record is to be sent to the County Food Administra tor, and a cherk will be kept upon those who seek to buy more than their proportionate share of sugar. It is essential that an equal distri bution of sugar is made as the sugar situation is very acute. The profit onl sugar will be closely watched by the l-ood Administration. The retail profit should not be more than one cent a pound, except where the fraction of a cent is involved. Sales of sugar should not exceed two pounds at one sale to a customer who lives in town, and should not ex ceed five pounds to a customer resid ing in the rural districts. For can ning purposes not more than 25 pounds may be sold to a householder on Home Canner's Sugar Certificates ex cept upon written permission of the County Food Administrator. HOW TO SELECT SEED CORN IN THE FIELD Columbia.-James W. Draffin, of Leslie, York County, has made a re markable record in Corn Club work. He has been a member of the York County Boys' Corn Club for four years, and has been a county prize winner each year. Twice he has been a sec ond State prize winner. his article on "i-low I Select My Seed Corn in the Field, which is given below, makes very interesting reading. "One of the essentials of profitable corn growing is proper selection of seed. Stalks of the predominating type in the row or field should be chosen, if equally resistant and well eared as others. Get the form of the ideal stalk well fixed in your mind, and look fdr it. Remember the type from year to year and don't change unless you should change to a different strain or seed variety. "I don't wait until all the cord is in the crib to select my seed for next year's planting. If you do, you will fail in the crop. The standipg plant will answer the question as to whether the selected ears have come from good stalks. I always try to be sure to get plants that grow not less than two or not more than three good ears to the stalk, and not more than half-way up the stalk. I select the well-filed oars, not too large nor too small, but me dium size, and sound. The shuck should be loose on the grain and should have a whmolesomne look. I al ways try to select my seed corn from the stalks standing where they grow. as soon as ripe, and before the first hard freeze. I select ears from the stalks that have produced the most corn without having any special ad vantages, such as space, moisture or fertility. The most Important con sidieration is to select seed from those plants which have the ability to fur nish the largest qiuantity of dry shell edi corn. Ilarly maturity is a desirable quality, and so are short, thick, wvind firm stalks; top-heavy ones with ears borne too high are likely to mean losses. "I collect my plants that bear my seed ears and cut off the top and bottom and hang the part on which the ears are fastened, in some con venient place in the crib or barn. This will keep in mind how the plants looked in the field. "I go through my corn and cut the diseased and stunted stalks about July first or August first, so as to pre vent crossing with the good stalks that are to furnish my seed., Now, if I am going to plant on upland. I do not'use seed that has been long grown on lowland, and if I am going to plant on lowland, I use my field se lected seed that has given best results on that kind of land as far as possible. I plant see'd that grew on the same type of soil that I am going to culti Tate. I' always try to procure my seed from corn that is known to pro duce large yields. It has been pretty well demonstrated that the prolific corns are the best varieties for the South. They do not make the largest and best show ears, but they do make the largest yields, and the greatest money value per acre. I prefer Good man's Prolific Variety." Columbia.--The State Council of De fense has gone on record, by the adop. tion of resolutions at the bl-monthly meeting held here, as favoring a g4v ernent financed cotton corporation; and recommendation has been made to President Wilson and Congress that action be taken, through the forma lion of echi a governmental, agenoy, to fix a~ minimum price which the ftr1many be gitaranteed for his cot ANNOUNCEMEN VS For State Senator At the solicitation of friends I an nounce my candidacy for the State Senate, subject to the rules and regu lations which govern the Democratic primary.
