The^e old United States of ours ai*a going to be in mighty fine shape juft as soon as we get our highway debts paid. We owe only about $17- '600,000,000.00 on them. We paid a a little sum down when we built them. Our Liberty Bond obligation* ain’t enough to worry about. They amount to about $16,750,000,000.00. If we taxpayers will stop eating, go naked, and st ay ou t of picture shows for 75 or 80 years, why, we can re tire every one of the>e evidences of debt. ■tores) to sell an old dominecker hen. Mother gave me a list of things to buy with this fowl and it totaled 25 cts. I begged the man so hard to give me 30 cents for my egg-producer, he finally gave in and that netted me a nickle extra. That was somewhere close to the third or forth piece of rhoney I ever possessed. I bought 21 sticks of pretty pep- perment candy with my money. I ate 7 of them on the wa^r home and hid out the other 14 sticks to keep my brothers and sister.* from eating them up. I planned for several days how to have a candy-party witli Sadie Lee, and finally decided to beg father to let me have a mule and qur top bugf^y Sunday afternoon, and he did so. Lelipped off from every body and drove over and picked up Sadie Lee with her pretty calico dress and home-knit stocking.*, ho-made Sonnet amoforth. Sadie Lee and I drove around a little while and then I showed her all of that candy. She almost had a fit. She dearly loved candy. We licked candy and sucked candy and chewed candy (and courted) and broke candy for 2 or 3 hours. That girl .sure was proud of me—fetching all of those refreshments to her. I think I ate about two-thirds of the,stuff, but that was all right with her. (P. S. We didn’t do any hugging; it wasn’t stylish back then.) A few weeks after this love- feast, Billie Smith bought a dime’s worth of fancy candy—chocolate, lemon drops and buttercups, and he took Sadie Lee to ride and aLo took her plumb away from me al the same time. Him'and*.her finally married and-I have never spoken to either of them or a .‘ingle on eof their 12 ycunguns. I didn’t like being cut out of her. HOPOCATRUC By G. Chalmers McDermid. The bonus demands and the com pensation accounts, unpaid to date, are only a drop or. so in the bucket. By walking everywhere we have to go, and staying at home all the time, we can wipe out that tiny $4,000,()()(),- 000.00 in considtrably le>s time than 95 years. The unpaid balances on our pub lic schools really ought not to be mentioned, they are so insignficant. Why, bond* for these necessities ag gregate less than $9,000,000,000.00, but not much less. We ought to get every ctnt of these collate! als into our own hands 2 or 3 week.* before judgment day. The puny sum of $3,000,000,000 now being wasted by our government in scraping mud from useless rivers and harbors and constructing 75 to 100 un-needed public buildings will be ea.*y to pay back. If we will quit smoking, chewing, drinking nd cuss ing for only 20 years, the money we •wfll save will turn the trick. The combined bonded debt, ex cluding the deficits, of our several State*, cities, towns and school dis tricts could not possibly be in excess of $25,000,000,000.00, including New York and Chicago. We won’t know ■we owe a penny of this money in an other 100 years. But Europe owe.* us about $20,- 000,000,000.00. I will sell my inter est in that “furrin” debt to the first man who offers me 15 cents in legal tender, and it won’t have to be so tender at that. When we get that money, jaybirds will be laying ele- j>hant egg.*, mice will be riding bicy cles. Our private debts—what we «we each other—amount to possibly $75,000,000,000.00, but- as nobody aint jgoing to pay nobody,, why bother about them ? 1 ’Way Back Yonder. 1 have been a timid soul all my life. I never had a sweetheart till I was about 18-years of age, antj^I vraan’t her sweetheart at alf. I be gan loving two or three girls when I was 4 years younger, but I could not possibly muster up enough cour age to tell them how sincerely my heart was yearning for their affec tions. Good old Henry Maddux has sprung a new kind of a “blind-fold” test on us. He took some cotton sample* from a badly rusted field and s-me others from a field top-dressed with 0-9-12, had himself blindfolded and wa- able to pick out very readily the cot ton which came from the 0-9-12 field. We asked him ho>£ he di ( f it and here’s his answer: “ The cotton from the rusted field had a very smooth, slick feel, while the edtton from the 0-9-12 field had considerably more twist to it. “The bolls were decidedly smaller from the rusted field and the locks of cotton were harder to pick clean. “Then, too, the shanks or stems which support the bolls on the limbs were both larger and longer or^ the 0-9-12 cotton. "The lint fiom the 0-9-12 cotton was slightly longer for the same variety of cotton and the fibres were much more uniform. The rusty cotton showed both long and short fibres and when the manufacturer begins to spin this lusty cotton, he will find much wastcage. “In ginning cotton, a gin can be controlled in almost every instance to handle either good fluffy cotton or rusty cotton, without< the gi.n cutting it, but in most cases when a farmer brings in a bale of rusty cotton it will be ginned in the regular way, and siif- feis considerable cutting which shows in the sample on the floor. The buy er, therefore, docks it. I remember several years ago Mr. D. R. Coker calling this matter especially to my attention.” This matter of cotton rust can be controlled by the use of a complete fertilizer, analyzing from 8-4-8 to 8-4-12. Many farmen* who used an incomplete fertilizer this summer have spoken to me about the utter folly of this practice,, after seeing just how much harm was done the cotton crop late this summer. Our farmers have learned a good lesbon in cotton fertilization during the last 60 or 75 days on account of the tremendous prevalence of cotton rust. They have realized that nitro gen alone will not make maximum ■yields, and that they must combine phosphorou.* and potash with this ni trogen to get best results. While I am not classed as a prophet I prophesy this statement today: Most cotton farmers of the old Pal metto State and other Southem 1 was 19 years old when Sadie States will use nitrogen, phospho I*e aqd I both fell in love with one and potash in 1933, and not just ■other and it wa.* no puppy love either. I’d break my neck any day trogen alone. If you are at all skeptical about to see that sweet girl pass down the cotton blind-fold test I big road in front of our house—much leas sit and talk with her a few min utes. She ws fat, but fatness was stylish. She was freckled, but I s’t mind freckles. She was pigeon- hut that was o. k. with me also. .One day in July my mother sent to the station (a town with 2 above, get 4 or 5 bolls each fro rusted fleldt and a healthy field make the test yourself. Or, if want to, see me at the NV’s boot the State Fair and we will let try it out there. MR.

Just supply the figures, put it in the stamped envelope I sent you and let Uncle Sam do the rest. Please, I beg just three minutes of your time; that’s all it will take. Farm Agent News. Farm Reminders, Farmers are now planting Austrian peasfcas a winter covercrop—20 pounds per#cre now is a good soil building investment. Be sure to inoculate with soil or cultqre (or both) if peas or vetch have not been grown on the field within the part three years. To tal cost of seed and inoculation should not cost more than $1.25 to $1.50 per acre. Vetch with oats or rye makes an abundance of fine hay or is a good .«oil builder—15 to 20 pounds vetch per acre along with oats or ryt should be sufiicient. Do not pour grain and vetch seed in the drill together as they separate in the drill and vetch mostly comes out 1st. Don’t forget to treat oat seed before plant ing. One ounce of formaldehyde will treat about 3 bushels, mixed with about a pint of water. Sprinkle on cat*, stir thoroughly, pile and cover up for 3 to 4 hours then uncover and spread to dry. They are then ready to plant, be sure to treat the sacks too that oats are put into after treating. « It’s worth whi)? to see a flock of‘ turkeys like Bill Henry Moody’s, or Mis. Corley’s. 250 or more at Moody’s and more than 100 at Mrs. Corley’.*. Stop at Lonnie Corley's store and see the volunteer growth of crota- laria. A small amount was planted last year and this comes from seed made. Growth is tall and thick as can be. This is a wondeiful soil builder. Don’t forget th? hoe gardens—keep cultivating and planting. You can plant spinach, turnips, mustard, rad ishes, kale, cabbage and onions now. Keep planting so that vegetables may be had every month.— H. G. Boylston, County agent. SCIENTISTS SEEK LOST MAYAN CITY Plan Long Trip Through the Jungles of Yucatan. \ Los Angeles.—'Lured by a hope of lo cating a mysterious city of the extinct Mayan empire, a party of six scientists soon will leave New York on a 1,200- mile trek through the Jungles of Yuca tan and Central America. Lawrence T. K. Griswold, former Harvard archeology student, who, at thirty-one, alfeady hasiapent Itf years in research among the mountain fast nesses of I’eru and Bolivia, and the massed terrain of Central America, heads the expedition. The expedition also will seek to re cord the life and dialects of five van- ishing tribes, the descendants of the Maya’s subjects thousands of years ago. Griswold is one <if the few men who can read the mystic picture writing of the Mayas. He clings to a theory that the Mayas were of Aryan, not Indian, origin; that they were tall, blue-eyed and perhaps bearded people. . who crossed the Atlantic centuries a^n. He believes that, with the labor supplied by a million enslaved native subjects, they erected the most elaborate civil ization the new world had known until the coming of the Europeans in the Fifteenth century A. D. Griswold said on a previous expe dition to tliis area he sighted the lost city from on airplane, hut the dense foliage made it impossible to land. It was distinguished by a huge palace, which he believes contains valuable records of the civilization he seeks to reveal. In addition to Griswold, the person nel of the expedition will include Rob ert Penrose Chapman, son of the late Samuel Hudson Chapman, noted arche ologist, who will lie photographic di rector. Glen R. Kershner, veteran Hollywood cinematographer and mem ber of the Donald McMillan polar ex pedition last year, will accompany the group to record the (Jances and lan guages of the native clans in sound films. The California group will he joined In New York by five additional mem bers. « District No. 12—Dunbarton High. J. J. ell, Co. Treas. ..$513.00 M. J.-Miller, Secty. .1.154.80 District No. 21.—Edisto.
