McGORMICK, SoutM C* V Rn* Page Number Ffai How we safeguard the quality of BUCKEYE i, % COTTONSEED HEAL - We’re as fussy as an old hetf with her chickens in the manufacture of Buckeye Bolted. First, of course, we insist upon starting with the best grade of cottonseed to be had. Then, to be certain that the meal is cooked just right, skilled chemists watch it carefully and test it frequently throughout the entire process. But we don’t stop there. We want Buckeye to be pure and uniform. So we sift it again and again through screens, just as they do with good flours. That takes but all the im purities such as lint, dirt and trash and keeps the quality always the same. Finally, we pack.it in new* well«*sewed bags, weigh it carefully and check the weight three times. That’s,why you’re so sure of getting a full 100 pounds of the highest grade meal in every bag of Buckeye Bolted Cottonseed Meal. Ask for Buckeye Bolted. It comes in the famous bag with the wide red and blue stripes. We’ve marked each bag so that you will be sure you’re getting the finest meal made in the South. high school facuity, who comes to; Anspl Talbert us highly recommended by her home church in this department of work.

J. Hendrix, who lately had the misfortune of losing her home by fire. At the close of the meeting Mr§. J. T. Martin surprised the crowd by passing delicious cookies. x Wins Distinction OPERA iiOU SE Ansel E. M. Talbert, of Wash ington, a nephew of former Con gressman W.

X Early Platings Of Oats Necessary CLEMSON COLLEGE, Sept. 23.— In a time-of-planting test at Clem son College the October 1 planting gave a yield of 54.8 bushels per acre; October '15 planting yielded 42.8 bushels; and November 15 planting gave only 18.1 bushels per acre, according to R. W. Hamilton, extension agronomist, who thinks that the yield of South Carolina oats is reduced more by late plant ing than any other factor. The late planting does not per mit the establishment of well de veloped root system before cold weather; consequently the stand la reduced or killed out by freezes, if by any means possible, oats should be planted before October 15. m v - vi v-J
