Many new owners of tractors, and
some of the old ones, too, would be
able to economize in fuel and time
if they sent for Farmers’ Bulletin
No 1046-F, entitled, “Laying Out
Fields for Tractor Plowing.” There
are tricks in the trade that have
bee n solved by agricultural engin
eers who have worked out methods
for eliminating some of the travel
with the plow out of the giound, for
avoiding awkward turna. and for ef
fective plowing of the diagonals. It
is sent free on application to the
United States Department of Agri
culture, Washington, D. C.

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.
Much interest has been manifested
in home orchards by people of the
Waslrngton School District. A co
operative cider of fruit trees has
just been delivered by the agricul
tural boys and teacher, G. W, Butt-
ram.
The follow ng number of trees
were delivered: 260 peach; 68 pe

and 12 grape vines, to the following:
Odell Buchanan, W. W. Fowler, J.
H. Drennan, Joe Price, Charles Os
borne, B. F. Parks, C. W. Robertson,
Ralph Gales and Mrs. W. P. Parks,
Mrs. J. H., Harvley of Parksville;

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.
Plot No. 3. 1-5 acre. 60 lbs. Acid
Phosphate 16 per cent; 10 lbs. Mur
iate of Potash; 10 lbs. Nitrate of
Soda. The above applied before
planting. 30 lbs. Nitrate of Soda ap
plied after cotton has been chopped.
One of these demonstrations has
been given to G. W. Buttram, agri
culture Teacher of Washington High
School. It is to be located on the
farm of Ml- Tom Stone near Modoc
on h'ghway No. 20, and is to be
worked by Clarence Howie, of the
agricultural class, under the super
vision of the agricultural teacher.
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.

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.’^
