X Spl it Side-Dresser Is Best For Cotton CLEMSON COLLEGE, June 17.— Maximum efficiency must be ob tained from every pound of fertil izer used on cotton this year, says R. W. Hamilton, extension agron omist, who thinks that this is es pecially true of the soluble nitro gen used as a side-dresser. What ever Ihe total amount to be ap plied, it should be put down in two or more applications and thorough ly stirred into the soil moisture. On this point Mr. Hamilton quotes the South Carolina Experi ment Station as follows: - “For several years we have ap plied nitrate of soda to cotton at the rate of 100 pounds per acre at various stages of growth with a view of determining at what stage the greatest return for soda could be obtained. In some cases the application was divided, 50 pounds being applied at one Stage and the remaining 50 at a later stage, while in others the 100 pounds was ap plied all at one time. Fifty pounds at chopping and 50 pounds at first squares has given the greatest gain over a four-year period, 484 pounds of seed cotton. This was followed closely by 100 pounds at first squares with 466 pounds gain, and 100 pounds at chopping with a gain of 415 pounds.” His announcement followed the request of the State Highway com mission this week for an issue of $5,000,000 to $10,000,000. The money will be used to care for proposed road building in the state highway program. Bids will be received here at noon July 1. The bonds will ma ture serially beginning 1939 and ending 1953. The $5,000,000 will be the first of the $65,000,000 highway bond authorization issued since Govern or Blackwood took office January 20. A total of $20,000,000 was is sued by Governor Richards last year. chicken, rice, brown gravy, string beans, potatoes, salad, bread and butter, ice cream, fruit punch: Supper: ^old meats, cheese, salad, hot biscuits and butter, iced tea, jam. Training of the boys is under the direction of Colonel George K. Freeman, Commander of the 321st Infantry, whose home is at Golds boro, N. C. Baptists, with a narrow lead of 60, predominate among the 760 trainees stationed at the Citizens Military Training Camp which be gan a 30 day period of training here this week, a check of the rec ords by Lieut Huggins, chaplain rhows. j Next in order are Methodists, followed, according to numerical strength by the Presbyterian, Lu therans, Episcopalians, Catholics, Christians, Jewish, Adventists and Holiness. Non-demoninational services are held for all protestants, while In commenting on the proposed issue, Governor Blackwood said'special services are held for the the bond market seemed “favor-! Catholics and Jews. able” at the present time. * Although the act of 1929 mak ings legal the issuance of $65,000,- 000 for highway construction pro vided that $20,000,000 could be issued each year until the entire amOpnt had been expended, the highway department auditor rec ommended early this year that the state be careful in issuing bonds since revenues from gasoline tax es and license tag sales had de creased. X Edgefield Council To Sponsor Exhibit The Edgefield County Council of Farm Women will sponsor an ex hibit in October. Prizes and rib bons will be given for canned fruits and vegetables, handwork of «all kinds, cotton products, cut and pot flowers and fresh fruits and vegetables. A full list will be pub lished soon. Not only the council members may take part in this but* any person in the county. For in formation write to Miss Margaret McGirt, H. D. Agent, or Mrs. J. W. Cox, president of the county coun- cil. At least cne officer in the regu lar army is convinced of the value of the annual Citizens Militarv Training Camps. He is Col. J. M. Little, Executive officer of the 321st Infantry. Col. Little has three sons. J. M Little, Jr., the oldest after four summers in the artillery camp at Fort Bragg, N. C., has completed his course and will be commission ed when he becomes of age next fall. Allen the second son is at tending the camp here this year following his graduation from the High School at Winston-Salem this year. - The third son Ashley J., isn’t old enough to attend camps yet. How ever, the urge for the uniform led him to the ranks of the boy scouts, while he has announced that as soon as the government will per mit, he will attend a camp with a view of becoming an officer.

Hastings will be presented to the convention by D. C. Durham, past District Governor of South Caro lina. In addition to the usual seaside pastimes there will be a golf tournament for the men in which a handsome silver cup will be pre sented to the winners Special attention has been given on the program for the entertain ment of the ladies and during the morning of the second day there v/ill be a bridge tournament.

District Governor Felder and District Secretary C. E. Summers have been busy for the past sever al weeks lining up the Committees, arranging the program and at tending to the many details incid ent to an occasion of this char acter. They have been accorded hearty co-operation by the other officers of the state organization and the committees named to handle certain of the details, and the gathering at Myrtle Beach promises to be one of pleasure as well as profit to these business men who are vitally interested in the work of civic and business im provement in their particular sec tions and the state as a whole.

BUSSEY, Pres. 3rd Div. W. M. U. CLEMSON COLLEGE, June 15 — As compared to last week the aver age number of boll weevils in South Carolina cotton fields has increased from 165 to 178 per acre, according to H. W. Barre, Director of the South Carolina Ex periment Station, in announcing the results of a survey of seven counties during the week ending June 13. This increase is the result of ex tremely high infestation in a num ber of fields in Bamberg, Calhoun, Florence, Orangeburg, and Darling ton counties and occurs in spite of a high rate of mortality among overwintered weevils and a rela tively low infestation in Aiken and Chester counties. Florence county, averaging 241 weevils per acre in the 24 fields ex amined, showed highest average for the week, closely followed by BamiSerg with 228. The largest number cf weevils per acre, 640, was also found in Bamberg coun ty. Seven fields in Calhoun coun ty showed an average of 197 wee vils per acre, eight in Orangeburg an average of 170; and 11 in Dar lington an average of 165. The av erage number of weevils per acre was 67 in Chester and 50 in Aiken. As yet very few fields have been poisoned and in view of the fact that squares are now forming in most of these fields the prospective damage is very great. Class Of 52 Years Ago Will Hold Reunion Today (The State of yesterday.) At the hospitable home of Mr. Albert Gibert, at Willington, in Mc Cormick county today, the class of 1879 at the old Carolina Military academy, Charlotte, will hold its 52nd reunion. And four of the six original members of the class will be present. Year before last the meeting was at the home of Col. A. K. Sanders in Columbia, where an elaborate meal was spread and every living member of the class and a few guests were present. Last year the class journeyed to the delightful country home of Capt. J. B. Guess ne^r Denmark where another fjasfc was served. This year Captain Gibert is the genial host, but there will be a vacant place when the class gathers today for Col. A. K. Sanders has within the last year passed away. Captain Guess, R. Evans Wylie of Lancaster, Hasel Thomas of Co lumbia and Mr. Gibert are the sur viving members and it is a remark able fact that two-thirds of the graduates should be living 52 years after graduation. That today’s meeting will be a happy occasion, despite the sadness caused by the passage of loved ones, is a foregone conclusion, for Mr. Gibert’s hospitality is justly famous. X- tion Golf Cup.
