As r r C"iiit of the even : ng classes v ri ’ at Parksville. Modoc and Flat Peek, th-' farmers of Washington i-heoi District are putting j.i prac- fee the unproved methods discuss ed and studied in these classes. Sometime ago a meeting was de voted to a discussion and study of the cotton varVjty test at Clemscm College. Most all agreed that the variety of cotton to grow was Coker Cleveland No. 5. The demand for these seed is so great that very few could be obtained. It was decided to bring a few of these and grow seed for another year, so thirty seven bushels were bought from Dr. Wade Stackhouse, Dill on, S. C, at $1.50 per bushel. These are from seed di rect from Coker Seed Farm. They were bought for W. T. Self, W,. T. Brown, R A. Price, W. P. Parks, Jr., T. R. Blackwell, Drew Blackwell and Herbert Williams.

The Ch'lean Nitrate of Soda Edu cational Bureau are making twenty- f ve cotton demonstrations in co-op eration with as many vocational ag ricultural teachers in South Caro lina. The plans of this demonstra tion is to have three one-fifth acre plots t.eated as follows: f Plot No. 1. 1-5 acre. 60 lbs. Acid Phosphate 16 per cent; 10 lbs. Mur iate of Potash. All to be applied before planting. Plot No. 2. 1-5 acre. 60 lbs. Acid Phosphate 16 per cent; 10 lbs. Mur- ; ate of Potash; 50 lbs. Nitrate of Soda. All applied before planting.

It is hoped to have every farmer of the section to visit the demonstra tion during the summer or fall and see the results of using Nitrate of Soda. txt Finds It Easy To Act * Like Congressman Here’s Will Rogers’ own explana tion of how he was chosen by Sam Rork for the star of “A Texas Steer,” First National comedy riot to be shown at the Dixie Theatre next? Friday and Saturday. “It’s the story of a Texas cowman elected to Corgi ess o n bought votes. I never did claim to be a Barrymore or Warfield, and you folks are hereby warned about that, but Sam rushed me into this contract when he s:a ; d, ‘Will, all you have to do is act nat ural like.’ “Now I find acting natural like a Congressman iqeans I’ve got the big comedy pait of the year in pictures. Any Congressman can give me a laugh any day in the year just act ing natural, and that’s why I think you’ll like ‘A Texas Steer’ because I act natural and real actors like Louise Fazenda, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., George Marion, Sr., Ann Rork. Lilyan Tashman and others act like actors and provide the sex appeal.’^ $Xt Boy Scouts America Plum Branch, S. C. Due Uf holidays we had very few at our regular meeting last Friday. With the committee and scout masters we are planning to put on an extensive and interesting program for the summer months. Spring is here and through the woods and the “ole swimming hole” we shall go. E. A. WILKES. Scout Master.
