Dipping in an arsenical solution
for the cattle tick should begin
in Bareli, says the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, and should
be continued at two-week intervals
until November, if this pest. is to
be eradicated. The cattle tick
transmits tick fever, reduces beef
and milk production, and makes
necessary costly and annoying
quarantines. Ticky cattle sell for
one-half cent to 2 cents per pound
less than tickless cattle.

Contestants Grew 411-2 Bushels
Of Corn Per Acre Last Year
Proving that corn can be produced on McCormick County uplands at
a much greater profit than it is now being produced, H. T. Christian,
of the Bethany section; J. P. Freeland, of Plum Branch, and S. L.
Britt, of the Buffalo section, all entered in the South Carolina five-
acre Corn Contest last year, produced an average of 41 1-2 bushels per
acre on their five-acre fields, and at a cost of 52 cents per bushel, ac
cording to an announcement by Thos. W. Morgan, county agent, who
conducted the contest.
The cost per bushel includes $5.00 per acre rent on land, cost of fert
ilizer, cost of all man and mule labor at prevailing rates in planting
and producing the crop, and cost of harvesting. All three five-acre
fields were located on upland soils.
Following is a summary of the results from these five-acre fields:

Miss Spring is off to a wonder

but danger lies ahead when the
sap rises in trees and other plants
as early as this, and flowers bloom

Average Cost per bushel 52c
County Average pe r A. n bu.
(County figures taken from figures by U. S. Government crop report
ing service.)
This summary shows that these three farmers following improved
methods in growing corn, produced nearly four times the average yield
of corn per acre for the county, and at a price which means that they
made a clear profit from the crop.
Samples of eleven ears each were sent to the Spartanburg County
Fair from each of these fields, and the samples from the field of H. T.
Christian won ninth place against some 250 other samples at this fair.
According to Mr. Morgan, the farmers of the county do not need to
increase their corn acreage, but rather they need to increase the pro
duction per acre on the land they plant. This could be done by plant
ing the corn thicker on the ground, say in four foot rows instead of
the usual five or six, leaving the com thicker in the drill, and fertiliz
ing with 150 to 200 pounds nitrate of soda, per acre, or its equivalent
of sulphate of ammonia. This fertilizer should be applied in one or
two applications, depending upon the amount used per acre, the first
when the corn is around knee high, and the second when the com is
around hip-high, or when it is laid by. Mr. Morgan further states
that if all the com land in the county were worked this way we would
never have a feed shortage unless it absolutely failed to rain at all.
Mr. J. C. Jennings And Hillery Price
Make 133 Bushels Potatoes, Acre
Two good demonstrations of what can be done with sweet potatoes in
McCormick County were carried out by Mr. J. C. Jennings, of Plum.
Branch, and Hillery Price, colored, of the same section, both entrants in
the S. C. Sweet Potato Contest last year, according to Thos. W. Mor
gan, County Agent, who had the contest in charge.
These two men produced an average of 133 bushels of marketable po
tatoes per acre on their one-acre plots, and at a total cost of 39 cents
per bushel. This cost included cost of plants and fertilizer, cpst of aIP
man and mule labor in making the crop, and the cost of harvesting
the potatoes. ^ ?

By marketable potatoes, is meant the No. 1’s, 2’s and Jumbo’s. AH
these can be shipped or marketed on the local markets. The ^ulls are
not marketable, but are generally very profitably used for feed for
hogs or other livestock.
Sweet potatoes can be marketed at a profit the year around, ac
cording to Mr. Morgan, who states that counties in the lower part of
the state are shipping carlots of potatoes throughout the season at
good prices, and there is no reason why McCormick County farmers
should not do the same thing. These demonstrations have clearly
shown that there is a profit to be made at the business, provided it is
done right.
McCormick county should have at least fifteen or twenty entrants
in the Sweet Potato Contest next year, according to Mr. Morgan, and
in that way produce enough potatoes to market in carlots.

Pioneered Modern
Way to Treat Colds
Developed Valuable Formula While
Seeking Way to Avoid ^Dosing**
Children’s Colds
While trying to find a treatment
for the colds of his own children
which would avoid constant “dos
ing,” so disturbing to delicate little
stomachs, Lunsford Richardson, a
North Carolina pharmacist, devel
oped Vicks VapoRub—the modem
external treatment for colds.
Being applied externally, this
modern vaporizing ointment cannot
disturb the digestion. When rubbed
on throat and chest it gives off med
icated vapors which ' are inhaled
direct to the inflamed air-passages;
and, at the same time, it acta
through the skin like a poultice or
plaster. ^ ^
As one enthusiastic mother told
another about this better method
of treating colds Vicks soon became
widely known. In time adults, too,
found by actual use that it is equally
good for their own colds. Today, the
whole trend of medical practice ia
away from needless “dosing," and
the fame of Vicks has spread to over
CO countries.
The ever-increasing demand ia
shown in the familiar Vick slogan.
First announced when Vicks reached
“17 Million Jars Used Yearly,” and
later raised to “21 Million,” the
figures have again been changed—
as there are now “Over 26 Million
Jars Used Yearly.”
