Smith, one of McCor mick County’s best known farmers, is laying his plans to produce his irual high yields cf cotton and lorn. He was in McCormick on Jure 1st to purchase his supply of Chilean nitrate cf soda. Mr. G. B. Smith, who has been farming for 20 years, says chat the ure of good fertilizer is one of the bert ways to keep down the cost of cicp production. As the acre yields increase the cost of a pound of cotton or a bushel of corn is in variably reduced. He has found that soils in this community are low in nitrogen, and as a result he has obtained outstanding increases from the use of quick-acting ni trogen. He has used dhilean ni trate'since 1915. Mr. G. B. Smith has 353 acres under cultivation. This year he planted 200 acres of cotton and 100 acres of corn. 1XI Winthrop College SCHOLARSHIP AND ENTRANCE EXAMINATION The examination for the award of vacant Scholarships in Winthrop College and for admission of new students will be held at every County Courthouse in the State on Wednesday, June 24th and Thurs day, June 25th at 9 a. n.

While in that country the party will visit the famous desert in which Chilean nitrate of soda is produced. M. G. & J. J. Dorn, Inc., say that the contest is unusual in that the awards will be based not on how much they sell this year but on During 1930, insurance compan ies paid out $300,000,000 as a result of automobile accidents—only a little less than was paid out for fire loss. The automobile death toll of 32,000 was about 7,000 more than were killed in industrial ac cidents. In both waste of life and cost to the public—casualty insurance how hard they work to sell it.

Sold and guaranteed by STROMS’ DRUG STORE McCormick, S. C. The fly problem in dairies serious. Flies annoy the cattle and are likely to contaminate the milk with disease or filth. Clean prem ises are essential—but cleanliness is not enough. The manure in which the flies breed should be re moved twice a week and scattered thin to destroy the immature flies. Or pile the manure in a compact rick and treat the surface with a solution of 1 pound of borax in 2 gallons of water. Flytraps help —the conical trap described in Far- mers* Bulletin 734-F is most effec tive. Blackstrap molasses diluted with three parts of water makes a satisfactory bait. Milk is good—or rotting bananas. Place traps out side the doors of dairy buildings where flies are thickest. Sprays are also helpful, but sprays alone will not control the nuisance. One pound of fresh pyrethrum flowers soaked for 48 hours ot longer in a gallon of kerosene and strained Through cheesecloth makes a good spray which kills both house flies and horn flies. Pyrethrum is used in some proprietary sprays, which may prove fairly economical for limited spraying. Or, buy a con centrated pyrethrum extract to mix with kerosene. Screen the milk room carefully. Large dairies and creameries often have screen ed vestibules. Other flies which annoy livestock are reduced in numbers by manure disposal and spraying. ' 4 I-i Ceferia, ot knob celery, is avail able in summer-time and is very acceptable when stalk celery is hard to get. It is pared and sliced, like turnips or carrots, and cooked in a srrttdl quantity of water and seasoned with butter or cream. It also makes an excell ent addition to potato salad. XXI Hang up a card or pad in the kitchen, and enter on it the kind, quantity, and if possible, the value, of anything brought in from the garden for household use. You will be agreeably surprised at the end of a week or month to note how much of your food supply is home grown. XXt Here are three fine points in frying potatoes: Use a heavy skillet; let the pieces brown on one side before turning them; and cook only enough at one time to cover the bottom of the skillet, in a fair ly thin layer. incompetently handled automobiles constitute one of our foremost problems. At one time it was believed that the ends of safety could be ad vanced by improved roads, cars and the like. But experience has given this theory a sad blow. It is not uncommon for some new and important development—such as four-wheel brakes, better tires, or lower center of gravity in a car lo result in more accidents, due to the public overrating the new is I safety factor. For the same rea son removing hazards from a stretch of highway will sometimes result in more accidents occurring there as a result of more careless driving- * ^ Now safety authorities recognize that the most important factors are not roads and automobiles, but the driver and the pedestrian. They must absorb the “safety idea” if any definite progress in automo bile accident prevention is to be made. The difficulties in spread ing this idea are obvious-r-at. pres-, ent about 40,000,000 people drive the 27,000,000 cars in this country. So the problem comes down to this—a sense of responsibility on the part of the individual, mptorist and pedestrian. Uspr$ of the streets and highways have it in their power to make those streets and highways safe—no one else can do it for them. V X- White rot of onion is relatively new to America. It is a disease which may be brought into this country on onions and garlic im ported from 1 Europe,' where it is widespread and destructive. Any outbreak of this disease should be reported, and specimens of dis eased plants sent to the U. De partment l of Agriculture. White rot usually appears in cool, moist weather in spHrig or autumn. The first signs &re yellowing and wilt ing of the 1 J lc?ftves, : followed later by complete Collapse of the top. Dis eased plants may be pulled up very easily;' as the roots are almost entirely destroyed. The potato leaf hopper injures potatoes by feeding on the foliage and also causes lyjpperburn, a dis ease which sometimes in dry weather ruins a whole potato crop in one or two weeks. Spraying with Bordeaux, says the U. S. De partment of Agriculture, is the way to control the leafhopper and prevent hopperburn. The 4-4-50 formula is used most commonly. Make at lesat three applications and spray a fourth time if neces sary. Apply the spray to the un dersides of the leaves on both sides of the row, using at least 150 pounds of pressure to obtain a fine mist. xxt A full length mirror is a great boon in every home. A closet door in the bed-room is a good place to install one. ECONOMY and QUALITY Economy often times means the neglect of quality but not so with our foodstuffs.

Muriate is concen trated kainit and potash in muriate is cheaper.
