THE BARNWELL PEOPLE-SENTINEL, BARNWELL, SOUTH CAROuusn rrr THURSDAY, AUGUST 11TH, 1932. A Nobody’s Business By Gee McGee. Cooling Off. Jim Pride is a good friend of mine on his wife’s side of the family. She’.s mighty fine. Jim runs a store when it ain’t tunning him. Jim has always had high ideas and low prices. When he gets his car and home paid for, he wont owe anything but his bank notes and his radio and ice-box Jivtalments. trade picked up l&?i satturday in the grocery stoars and one man spent nearly 3$. he had not \spent that mucV money at one time ^nce wall street back-fired, the mercl^nts all, have better feeling: both of \ them will lay in bigger stocks as soon as they can get some monney thru r. f. corpse, they saw in the papei where eash would be leant direct to v the man who needs V instead of to the copper-rations—to pay their bonds with. jerry simpkins has repaired the shed where he keeps his chevverlay, and is talking about getting new tires all round, we are all glad to see these* improvements, and the folks rite all talking better times. the MWard parlos* which closed up ! in martch dnner count of he coulddent pay the rent will open up nevt week at c3 a kew. that will pos sibly stop the boy.? from playing poker upstairs over the old liberty stables I didn’t know it till one day last week, but Jim has a “lodge” up in the mountains, only 78 hiiles by the speedometer from our house. As the temperature was shimmying around Friday, Jim. made up his mind to go to a cooler climate and take me with him. We went. As Jim’s car was broke down, he «sked me to please drive him up in my car. We got started at 5 p. m., by Jim’s watch—which was only 57 minute? slow. We got to the turn ing off place (where we left the paved road) just about dusk. The road to Jim’s cottage was 9 mile.? of gulleys, 2 miles of rock, chuks, logs, creeks and bushes. We arrived at the “lodge” about 9:20 p. m. Yep, there was the lodge in the moonshine; it was a few rough planks and a bundle of tin lodged on the mountain side. I asked Jim to turn on the lights, and he did—he struck a match, He finally found the old lantern, but it was empty, and there wasn’t any kerosene in the lodge. I rigged up a pine torch to see with. it wount, be long now befoar good times will be up on us. taxe? will be higher and higher;; of course, but as mosft everybody has quit paying same except the income and the sur tax, the publick wont be bothered very much, riting letters has fell off 50 percent since they cost c3, and so has other budget balancer^, i will rite or foam you another piece to morrow. yores tulie, • mike dark, rfd, corry spondent. plants here and there, dying from wilt. Another way of being sure that plants have wilt is to take your pocket-knife and peel off just a lit tle of the bark on a suspected plant. If the plant has wilt you can gen erally tell it by the dark coloration just under the bark which you can compare with the clear tissue in the .-tern of a healthy plant. Rust can be absolutely controlled by liberal applications of muriate of potash, kainit or of .fertilizers con taining high percentage of potash. Potash also helps to control wilt by giving the plant? extra health and vigor. Wealthy fields of cotton nat urally make better yields, and jn 'these distressing times, in spite of low prices which prevail, we must have better yields to come out on the long end of the horn. It is rather late in the season to try to control severalXcases of rust or wilt now. but you 'might go to your fertilizer dealer and\a.?k him to let you have a sack or so \)f 20 percent kainit or muriate of potash to try on your fields even thisMate. Take a day oW and visit some of the demonstration)^ I have told you about, or vL?it a farm where you know the farmer has\used more than the usual amounts of\potash in his fertilizers for' cotton. On these farms you will .?ee potash hunger satisfied. On farms where growers^ used too little potash, or no potash at all, you will, seven chances out of ten, see just the same conditions have described above.

It wasn’t fit for a politician to live in—much less folks. But the temperature was only 99 in it. He i» thinking of changing the name of this place from “Lodge” to “The Summit.” I sugge-ted that he call it “The Limit.” But he never saw the point. He likes things the rustic. in My cot was 2 planks nailed on the wall. It began to rain about mid night. I got up and put on my bathing suit so’.? I Could enjoy the shower bath. The roof was more like a sifter than a roof. My mat tress was composed of 3 part? shucks, 4 parts com cobs, 1 part straw and 10 parts insect?—such as ants, uncles, ansoforth. My pillow wa« missing. Our supper consisted of .?aidims: Jim forgot to fetch crackers. Our breakfast was also sardines. Jim for got to fetch along any coffee, ?ugar, bread or butter. He said he thought I was to bking eve*ything. The spring wa<5i 500 yards frirni the lodge, and so was the bath-room. I was glad to get away from the place of rest. The next time Jim get? me up there in his “The Summit,” he will have to kidnap me. Lots of folks call such as that “roughing it.” I call it “toughing it.” But I’m cured. I got back home just about 30 min utes before I would have starved to death. Keep Your Eye on That Corner. flat rock, s.

At this writing we have not noticed many severe case? of cotton rust, but the season is young yet and these will develop later. In these severe ca?es the leaves begin to turn yellow, then brown, then fall off completely, leaving the bare stajk with not enough energy to mature the bolls. Those bolls which do not fully matuA* are exceedingly hard to pick, because they are very tough, and do not reach full size. -•I have placed several demonstra tions throughout the State and would call the attention of those of you readers who live near them, to the following named farmers:—Mr. Hen ry F. Bamberg’s farm just off the Denmark-Bamberg highway; Mr. J. H. Lancaster’s farm on the Barnwell- Blackville highway, Mr. D. L. Mer ritt’s farln near Wi’i'ston and Mrs. M. T. Quattlebaum’s farm near Wil- liston. - - i # * All of these demonstrations are two acres in size, one acVe having been top dressed with 200 pounds of 20 per cent high grade kainit and 100 pounds of sulphate of ammonia. These fields are shoeing up exceed ingly well and those of them which do not have signs pointing out the demonstrations now, will have the signs within the next ten days, and it is my earnest desire that those farmers who want to see clear cut demonstrations of the control of cot ton rust with the use of potash, visit these fields in the next thirty days. Not all of the demonstratiohs have “rusted cotton in^the same fields, but a mile or so on each side of them along the highways metioned, there is no chance of mistaking many fields of rusted crops. Another disease which is rather prevalent in cotton crops this summer is cotton wilt and additional potash in the fertilizers, or used as a top dresser will go a long way towards helping control it. Cotton wilt is caused by a tiny organism living in what you see b*» a les.-on to you next season’s crop. G.
