Speakers Will Tell of Results Obtain-
. ed from Use of High Potash
Fertilizers.
A big meeting of the asparagus
growers rs being planed for some
time the early part of August. At
this meeting, which will probably be
held in Aiken, at the Aiken Agricul
tural Club house, speakers will tell
of results which have been obtained
during the past two years or more
from the use of high potash fertilizers
on the crops. A barbecue will be
served during the course of the meet
ing and a short automobile tour will
be carried out to show the growers
one or two of the outstindin^ “grass
crops of the territory, where addi
tional potash has be^n used along
with the regular fertilizer.
Asparagus, the big money crap of
this section, is a crop which one can’t
just plant and then wait to harvest.
It must be paid very special atten
tion, as to time of fertilisation, kind
fertilisation, time and kind of cal
lure, and methods of packing, grad
mg, etc. The grower moat pot the
proper kinds of fertiiisor down at the
proper time to get mss imam yields on'

CoL J. E. Harley was given a warm
welcome when he was introduced and,
ss stated above, was presented with
bouquets of flowers and a handsome

Mr. Sheppard was accorded strict
attention. He reviewed his line of
distinguished ancestry and his record
in public life. He is a former mem
ber of the general assembly from
Edgefield County and had a part in
the. indirect tax movement, thereby
saving money for the farming people.
He sought to save money on school
