SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Tier ——— 1160 Months .JK) Months - ,60 (Strictly ia Advance.) THURSDAY, JULY 9TH, 1931. Lines Again. Several months ago The People- Sentinel had something to say in these columns relative to the unfair competition of bus line 8 against the railroads. At that time, application was being made for a license to oper- I L Ei> pi I ate a line from Augusta, Ga., to Char leston, by way of Williston, Black- viHe a n <i with a connection at Blackville for Barnwell. We > quoted figures showing that in Barn well County the treasurer collected in 1929 taxes totaling $202,000, of which th* railroads paid $80,475, while the total amount of'1930 taxeg collected sip to January 1, 1931, was $115,624, of which the railroa'ds paid $72,045. In addition to this the several muni cipalities in the county collect more than $5,000 annually from the rail- loads. Now the railroad commission has under consideration the licensing of bus line 9 from Augusta to Williston, from Blackville to Barnwell and from Columbia to Savannah by way of Blackville, Barnwell and Allendale. To grant these license* will take addi tional passenger revenue from the railroads, which are already seriously crippled by the general use of pri vately owned passenger cars. We have heaid of no serious complaint relative to the train service b^ing fur nished by the railroads in this im mediate section. All of which being troe, we can see no good reason for the establishment of the bus line, the j ■vehicles of which operate over road* constructed and maintained by the automobile owners of the State, j whereas the railroads are forced to build and maintain their own road beds Then, too, we should ask our- aehres the question whether or not it 'ia a wise policy to kill off concerns that pay such a substantial amount of State, county and municipal taxes end get in ^ortation that may be inadequate and that certainly will not pay any thing like the amount of revenue into the public tieasury. Nor will it fur- local employment for a large »ber of people, as is the ca*e with the railroads We hold no brief fo r the railroads. We think they should be regulated and not allowed to impose on the traveling and shipping public, but by the same token they are entitled to consideration at the hands of the public) They were largely instru mental in the development of this vast country of ours and they have been bearing their share of the tax burden all along. Let’s not help kill the goose that lays the golden egg. Soeial and Personal News from Williston WiUkionrJuly 4,r-Miss Ruth Scott, of Augusta, is spending her vacation with her parent^ Mr. and Mrs. A.

New Yoik, July 7.—Southern .selling reduced activities in the near- by months, and so did shares in Texas. Liverpool came in a s due and then brok e 9 points. Very little \of the Wrigley fun(d) has been spent for cotton to date, due, no doubt, to the fact that the south is too poor to chew much gum. The bumble worm is slowing down the cultuie of cotton in Alabama; this worm keeps the farmers busy fishing, and they have no time to fight grass or boll weevils.

Lots of these youngsters had never seen salt water before and hey had the time of their lives in the May River. * \ • These 4-H Club 8 are splendid. In them, the rural youngsters get a chance to do something “on their own.” They find out all kinds of things ’about agriculture! subjects in their meetings that they just couldn’t, get otherwise. Our future agricul tural leaders will SUrely come from .these clubs. • : . •• A banker friend from another • • South Carolina County sat with me on the porch of one of the Bluffton cottage 8 and we watched hese young ster* at their “directed play.” It was a pretty sight to see how implicitly they trusted and followed their lead- ;eis. These leaders have a great re sponsibility, but they are shoulder ing in fine style. • •. And now to crops: Are you follow ing yeor leader, Mr. Sweet Potato Farmer? -Are* you fertilizing your sweet spuds right? Most sweet 8 pud farmers who. make big yields of marketable potatoes are using something like 8-3-10. The winner-of the sweet potato-contest in 1930 used 1300 pounds of 8-3-15 per acre and made over 400 bushels of number one potatoes on an acre. Sweet* may not sell so well this fall and winter, but they make migh ty good eating, anl this is tthe kind of a year when we must take-plenty <»f fnU from our own farms. One of „ our ^Barnwell County friends told us the other day that he had taken $500 in cold cash from 8 acres of cukes. This wa 8 a side line crop with him and it didn’t cost -*o much either. He’s a real diversified farmer—as paragus, cukes, cantaloupes, water melon*, com, cotton, pigs, a few cow* are hig money crops. But friends—1 must tell you—he buys his eggs. That’s the only criticism I have to make of his methods. He just wop't keep enough hens on the yard to sup ply his need 8 in eggs; r hut he’s a ci acker jack fanner, nevertheless.

Pullets Need Attention. P. H. GoodingrExtension Poultry- man of Omson College, was in the county Tuesday of la*t week visiting with County Agent Boylston • five poultrymen who are cooperating with Clemson College in demonstrating better poultry practices on the farm. According to Couniy Agent^Boyls- ton, many poultrymen do a good job of brooding, but neglect the growing pullet 8 during the summer. Any method of raising that produces pul lets that are most profitable i* the one to follow. Set backs cause’d by allowing the pullet* to t be crowded in the house, infestations of lice and mites, internal parasites or diseases are likely to reduce the annual lay of the pullet even though the diffi culty was corrected and noaevident ill effects noticed. The best practices In handling sum mer feeding seem to be io feed mod erately of a good growing mash and plenty of wholesome grains; to .pro vide a clean range supplied with shade and green feed and let the pullets develop normally. A ration for growing pullets that ha* given good results consists of 45 pounds each of ground yellow com, wheat middling, wheat brand and 5 pounds of meat scraps, with yellow com hoppe r fed. Both the mash and com should be kept before the pullets at all times.— H. G. Boylston, County Agent.' Legal Advertisements CITATION NTTICE. PLEASE PUT ALL BOTTLES OUT DAILY. Mrs. G. C.
