Slips That Pass. We see by The State that n woman Sn Atlanta “fatally killed” herself, and that a committee was appointed in the South Carolina house of represen tatives to investigate the circumstances of the “seduction and detention” of one of its members. Rattlesnakes and Liquor Stores. Over in Williston, so we are in formed by The Williston Way, a five- foot rattlesnake wag displayed in front of a liquor store. Now, we won der if any unusual significance is to be atached to the story: Were our good friends in Williston “seeing snakes” as a result of imbibing too freely in the liquor store’s stock in • trade, or was the aforesaid reptile placed in front of the groggery as a warning to the bibulously inclined? Won’t Editor Davis, of the Way, throw a little more light on the subject? ‘The Coolidge Dollar.” Every now and 1 then, one hears a great deal about “the Coolidge dollar” or “the gold standard dollar” or what have you, in an effort to belitle the policy of the Roosevelt, administration in reducing the gold content of the dollar and going off the gold standard. As a matter of fact, we believe that “the Roosevelt dollar’ will buy as much of—perhaps more of—any com modity or product a s did 1 the old dollar of Republican maladministration. Take cotton, for instance: A “Cool idge dollar” would purchase about 4 or 5 pounds, whereas a “Roosevelt dollar” today can be exchanged for 8 or 9 pounds. Other farm products are on a comparable exchange basis, al though there is not as great a dif- flenence in the exchange value for manufactured articles. After all, the true test of a dollar’s vtalue, so far as the consumer is con cerned, is the amount of good s for which it con be exchanged. Viewed from that angle, the Roosevelt dollar has a greater intrinsic value than the Coolidge dollar, but will purchase less than the Hoover dollar. The trouble with the latter was that they were too few and far between, s o far as the common people were concerned. vices on Tuesday. He is the new chaplain for this sub-district since Chaplain Phillips went off duty the first of the month. The Rev. X. C. In- abinet came out Monday, and his ser vices were well attended. Company 4468 had a busy week tak ing care of visitors and inspectors. On Monday, State Director for the E. C. W. paid a visit to camp and while here gave the boys a fine talk on the purpose of the CCC. On Tuesday, Mr. Coney, inspector throughout the Fourth Corps Area, was here to give the camp the once over. Captain Hyndmqn, who replaced Major Wells a 8 sub-district inspector for the camps in this locality, was here on Thursday for hi s first inspec tion. On Friday he was followed by Col. Dravo, district commander, and Lieut. Col. Dunn, who also held inspection. I am glad to note that they all seemed to find the camp in good shape. Mr. Bryan arrived! back in camp late Sunday night after being away for ten days, the first two attending a con ference of Educational Advisers in Columbia, the rest of the time vaca tioning. He seem s to have survived all right, except that he looks a little dreamy some times. Lieut. Wall, who came to us week before last when the Monck’ s Corner camp broke up, has come to the main camp from the side camp at Luraiy, and Lieut. Cobble has gone to the Lu- ray side camp for dluty. They have, in short, swapped places. On Saturday, May 2nd, the George town baseball team came to play us our first game in the CCC league, and! we defeated them 25 to 9. Then on Saturday, May 9, we jour neyed! to Edisto to play them and they beat us 34 to 7. Our next game i s against the sup ply company here Saturday. We are trying to make arrangements for some of the better players now at the pide camps to come here for the base ball season. The Supply Company al- j ways has had a good team in every thing, so we can be ready for a hard time. A s this is written, Monday, May 11, we are expecting any minute 21 new , boys. We do not know whether they ; have been in the CCC before or not, bue we hope they are a good lot. HIGH POTASH IS FOUND PROFITABLE ON COTTON Redd-Silvero. Miss Helen Reddi, of Augusta, Ga., and Mr. Pedro Silver©, of Aiken, at- j 1933 Versus 1936. tended by a party of friends and rela tives, were quietly married on Satur day at the residence of Dr. W. M. Jones. The beautiful ring ceremony ! was usedl After the ceremony the couple left on a short bridal trip, after which they will reside in Aiken, where the groom is in business. Contained in the 48th annual report published by the South Carolina Ex periment Station of the Clemson Agr- cultural college is found some interest ing results with reference to cotton fertilizer in this State. As stated in this report, “Compre hensive series of field tests to deter mine the optimum rate and the best time to apply potash fertilizers on cotton are being continued at the Sandhill Station and in co-operation with farmers on important soil series in' the Piedmont and Coastal Plain sections of the State.” All plots in these test s received the equivalent of 600 pounds per acre of a 5-10-0 (N-P-K) fertilizer in addition to the potash before the crop was planted and were sidedressed with 15 pounds of nitrogen. The average yields given below rep resent the results from 30 to 60 sep arate plots. Average lbs. seed Fertilizer treatment: cotton per acre 5-10-0 (N-P-K) 557 5-10-2% 874 5-10-5 1015 5-10-7% 1137 5-10-10 1243 5-10-12% 1288 This report states that the yileds as secured from these tests over a four- year period! do not indicate that there is any significant difference in the yield from potash whether applied be fore planting or as a side application at “chopping” with the lower rates. With the higher rates, however, it is advisable to apply’some of it in the mixture before the crop i s planted. The average yields from these four- year Jtests suggest that for the rates used and under the conditions prevail ing, it might be expected that the addition of one pound of potash would increase the yield 10 to 20 pounds of seed 1 cotton, or that one pound of muri ate of potash, or its equivalent, would produce 5 to 10 pounds of seed cotton depending upon the rate of applica tion. On the basis of these tests an investment ranging from around 60 cents to $3.00 per acre in potash fer tilizer produced 106 to 241 pounds of lint cotton per acre. At 10 cent s per pound 1 for cotton this would be approxi mately $10.00 to $24.10.00 per acre in crease in value of lint cotton. This report states further that, “Since there has been an unusual a- mount of cotton rust due to a deficien cy of available potash in recent years, there has been a marked increase in average cotan fertilizer sold in the avrag cotton fertilizer sold in the State.” DONT EXPERIMENT WITH YOUR EYES Asparagus Farms, Et AL Of course .iV^may be true that the country was getting along fine in 1933 and that President Roosevelt came along and threw a monkey- wrench into the economic machinery, but a comparison of newspaper head lines then and now i s interesting to say the least. Look over a few as listed below: 1933. “Nation’s Banking Near Standstill.” I “New York Acts to Guard 1 Nation.” “Rail Shipments into City Drop.” ! “Dollar Exchange Halts in Europe.” , “Michigan Banks in R-Day Holiday.” “Capital Seeks Way to End Bank Crisis.” “Trade Fixes Policy for Bank Holi day.” “Roosevelt Faces Severest Tests.” “2-Day Bank Holiday in New York; Roosevelt Sworn in Today; U. S. Tense.” 1936. “Retail Sales Rose by 14 P. C. Last Year.” “Steel Industry Moving Ahead.” “Textile Year Showed Gain s in Most Lines.” “Industrial Net Up 46.9 P. C. in ’35.” “Profits, Share Prices Soar to New Peaks.” “Agricultural Region Holds Recov ery Making Progress.” “Heavy Demand for U .S. Bonds Greet Issue.” “10,000 at Work for Beth. Steel.” “Banking Act Has Removed' Uncer tainties.” “Bell System Net Sharply Higher.” “Steel Rate Hits 55 P. Electri city Up 12.3; Industry Advances.” What a pity President Roosevelt has made such a mess of the job to which he was elected! Triple “C” News Notes <-X^XK"XX~X~X~XK-X~X~X*<-X* (By Arthur Riddbck, Reporter.) Chaplain Gregory held religious ser The Bamberg Herald started some thing when we innocently’chiaeil Edi tor Ben Davies, of The Barnwell Peo ple-Sentinel about the luxury of own ing an asparagus farm. Hear him rave: “How in the heck does Editor Hitt expect us to support a newspaper in the manner to which it ,ha s become accustomed if we don’t have an as paragus farm or sumpin’ to help ‘make the ghost walk’ in these days of slim local advertising receipts and good business men who patronize out- of-town printers? In fact, we think that every newspaper in this section should have an asparagus farm—it gives the editor a better insight into the troubles that beset Friend Farmer. “As to how we ‘came by it’—well, it’ s a long story. So-o-o-o.” Now, seriously speaking, Brother Davies, the readers of newspapers—a lot of them, anyway—are not very much concerned about where one gets the wherewithal to induce the ghost to perambulate on Saturday night. And, most assuredly, the country pub lisher is not expected to show any ma terial evidence of prospertiy. Keep ’em poor, that’s the idea—if you get prosperous you might become high- hatty. And, whether you own an as-j paragus farm or not, you certainly ' charge too much for your paper and 1 ! for your printing, if you do any. Of course, it is all right for other people to own nice cars, have luxuries in their homes, go to the beach when the sun sizzles on your bowed and often bared shoulders, or tak£ a vacation every once in a while—but for the country newspaper man, never. Some thing is surely putrid in Peru if he ever attempts any such nonsense. But, getting back to that aspara gus patch. Every country editor who has not business ability enough to miraculously reach forth and pluck the plinking simoleon s from the imag inary tree of newspaper fortune is unworthy of the name, and ought to be sentenced to raise asparagus for the rest of his life—and roll in wealth.—Bamberg Herald.
