Calhoun, president of the bank, this week. Where the bank’s customers have ret the ready cash to pay for the seed, the amount will be included in neoct year’s advances. Col. Calhoun says that his bank is g^tng to help their regular customers to grow another crop, upon the /condi tion that the fanner seeking a loan signs an agrement not to increase the number of plows on hij farm and also that he. will plant only ten acres or less of cotton to the plow. All advances made to him by the bank will be on the installment plan and if the agreement is broken, the bank will immediately stop the ad vances. If any farmer does not like this plan, he is advised by Col. Cal houn not to enter the agreement. According to Col. Calhoun, Barnwell County has grown five of the best and biggest crops in its history, coraist- ing of asparagus, cucumbers, cant«~ loupes, watermelons and cotton, and only the asparagus crop has paid ex penses. f However, he reminds the farmers that in 1914 cotton brought only about six cents, in 1920 the price declined from 40 cents to ten cents, in 1921 and 1922 the boll weevil destroyed most of the crop and the farmers of Barnwell County came through. * Now that qptton is selling at ten cents below the cost of pro duction, he advises them not to get demoralized, but to be loyal to their creditors and the banks of the county will as usual assist them a& much as posihle. Col. Calhoun reminds the farmers that they have made good crops of corn, potatoes, peas,' hay, syrup, etc., and many farms are well stocked with hogs, poultry and dairy I cattle. By practicing strict economy, he thinks that 1927 will be * prosper ous year for everybody. He advoeatas the usual acreage of cucumbers, can taloupes and watermekjns, with * a small crop of beans, which usually proves profitable.

Barnwell the Victor in the Opening Game In spite of hail and high water, the members of the Barnwell High School football team splashed their way to a 6 to 0 victory' over Brunson Hi in the opening game of the. season on the otter’s gridiron Friday afternoon. Shortly before the time set for the first whistle, n terrific downpour of tain, accompained by wind, lightning and hell, set in and lasted for about 4o minutes, at the end of which time there was a small pond of water, ankle deep, tur.mnt .’^wn the cent?i of the field. Ba.nwell k : cked off out of th«* pond and soon took possesion of the ball. With a series of line pluugi-es and end runs they splashed {hrififfclT to the first and or ly touchdown of the contest. The slippery ball was hard to handle and rendered forward passes out of the question. The. Barn well boys lost two splendid oppor tunities to score, once when they were held for downs on Brunson’s ten-yard line after Halford had made a beauti ful 35-yard end run and u gain in the last quarter when a fumble on Brun- on’s three-yard line cost them a touchdow n. The opposing teams were evenly matched in weight, hut Barn well had the edge otherwise. The locals play in Williston tomor row (Friday) aft.-incer. B. Y. P. U.

Things That Fanners Should Do in October It Destroy cotton stalks as quicly as possible after cotton is pickhd, by October 16th, if possible.

Unless this food supply is cut off a large number of healthy weevils will go into winter quarters. 2. Gather soy bean hay which will be ready in most every case some time during this month. 3. During this month vetch along with rye or oats should be planted. Past experience shows that oats sown in October as a rule make a better crop than those sown in November.
