One of the most enjoyable parties, of the season was that given Wednes day afternoon by Group No. 5 of tLe local Methodist Church at the home of the group leader, Mrs. J. C. Hogg, who wat5 ably assisted m the enter tainment by Mrs. Herbert Black and Mrs. R. W. Dicks. The living and dining-rooms were beautifully decor ated in the flag colors, and reminis- censes of George Washington days, the affair having the form of a Wash ington party. Receiving the guests at the door were little Margaret Black, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Black, and John Murray Compton, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. P. Compton, both artistically dressed as Mr. and Mrs. George Washington. Soon after the guests arrived, a spirited tree contest was thoroughly enjoyed; each question being answer ed with the name of a tree. After the limited time was out, it was found that Mrs. A. J. Bennett and Mrs. W. J. Lemon' had tied, each receiving a jar of red cherries. Other forms of entertainment were enjoyed, after which the giv sts were invited into the dining room to view the table covered with kitchen utensils which had been disguised with table napkins, rep resenting hills. The articles were numbered and each guest was asked to write down the nuiybtrs with names of the hills opposite. Mrs. Gignilliatt was found to be the winner of this contest and received a pie pan. Some time later in the afternoon the guests were shown a large cherry tree, and told to guess the number of cherries growing thereon. Mrs. E. F. Wood ward being the successful guesser, re ceived thg tree as a prize. Refresh ments, consisting of red cherry gela tine and whipped cream with white iced cakes, were served. Those pres ent expressed themselves as having spent one af the most pleasant after noons in quite a while. » _ All From Linters Twenty y.eani ago they thought they were lucky to have found how to use cotton linters for filling mat tresses and making batting.

V-C “I used 75 tons of V-C on 230 acres and marketed 240 bales averaging 500 pounds of cotton. I intend to use MORE next spring.” —John Glass, Campion, Ga. ^ i——V-C “The average man learns from his own experience. The wise man learns from the experience of others.”—Quoted. V-C “We remove from the soil each year nearly five hundred million dollars’ worth of plant food more than we restore, and erosion and other faetori rob it annually of a sum vastly in excess of this.”—The Fertilizer Review. v-c ... V-C of Course! M. F. Sulser, of Smith County, Texas, grew 6,234 pounds of lint and 12,018 pounds of seed on 5 acres—and won the state prize given by the Dallas News. The value of the crop was $1,594 and the cost of the fertilizer was $104. Counting labor and everything, his whole cost per poumLfif Hat was only 5.4 cents. “What fertilizer did he use?” Don't make us bashful! V-C — “To KZBP PROSPEROUS AND HAPPY people earning their living from the soil, farming interests must be con sidered educat ionally, economically, and socially,” says the Yearbook of Agriculture. “Modem fann ers desin* and an* entitled to spend a part of their time in the n^alm of thought outside their vocation.” The farmer who starves his cotton is pretty apt to go hungry himself. There’s hardly a living in poor cotton even when prices are high. Feed your cotton V-C . . . and your cotton will feed you! Back Up the Scientists Everybody can eat just so much and put on so many clothes—and he can't eat or wear any more, no matter how rich he is But oirother thingir his pocketbook is the only limit. The job is to learn how farm prod ucts can be used in making these other things too. They hold big op portunities. Cotton seed used to be a big nuisance around gins, for in stance. Now it is worth real mon ey, thanks to the scientists. Scien tific research must stay on its job of hunting for new values in old fann products There ought to 1m* a good use—besides just eating it or wear- : it 1 —for EVERY crop a fanheiT can grow. Let’s hack up the scien tists with encouragement and money —and they’ll dig up hiddeb markets all around us. v-c IT TAKES a boat mu mark work la ralac an acre af aerak rottan av tarry lobarra a* It Sara la raiaa an arrr afgaaS crop.

V-C “On one special three-acre plot I used 450 pounds of V-C per acre, and have picked five bales to date and expect to get another.”—W. C. McGinnis, Cave Spring, Ga. * V-C Who's been using V- C the longest? The company would appreciate letters. V-c “Last tear I used 300 pounds of V-C Special Formula 3-8-5 per acre, with a yield of approximately one bale to the acre. This was not on a test plot but was the average yield on one of my farms of about 300 acres.” —Howell Porter, Finehurat, Ga. , Copyright 1929 The Fourth Ingredient Along with their ammoniates and potash and superphosphates, V-C Fertilizers always contain a fourth ingredient. This is not a substance at all, yet it makes ibe whole mixture good as to sources and blend, as to contents and condition. V-C Fertilisers would not be the same without it. This Fourth Ingredient, found in no other fer tilizer but V-C, is a priceless one. It is—V-CTf good name. •V '-XMi -V-C- Cotton is the third largest agri cultural crop in the United States, and the cotton industry is seventh in value of manufactured produets. v-c Effects of Independence “Farmers are more independent than any other group,—yet this has tended to make them slower to or ganize within their own group, slower to cooperate with other groups; slower—but not entirely without the impulse which is grow ing of late among men.”—U.S. De partment of the Interior. — “Effective fertilization is not merely nn agricultural require ment but a national neceeelty.”— American Trust Go. * Feed Those Flowers! While you’re making the farm pretty with money crops, give the Wife a chance to beautify the house yard too. Treat her garden to some V-C BLOOM AID—which bears about the same relation-to ordinary commercial fertiliser that cake does to oombread. Feed her roses BLOOM AID —give the cape jasmine BLOOM AID—nourish the old evergreens with BIiX)M AID—and let the Missus be proud of the nicest yard in the county. Incidentally a little V-C BLOOM AID would help in the garden patch too. It is practically odorless, and comes in bags, cans, bottles,—and for pot ted plants, in tablet form. • VIRGINIA.CAROLINA CHEMICAL CORPORATION- SPLENDID MEETING OF JOHNSON HAGOOD CHAPTER.
