When the airplanes hover over the laboring trucks, stretching tow ard a war-toni horizon, their thunder will hurl itself from the screen. And when Karl Dane launc the tobacco juice that puts out the candle—it will sizzle, too! Sound has added new wonders to “The Big Parade,” greatest achievement of the silent screen, Which by popular demand has been recorded with sound and now comes again ingp. triumphant return to the talking screen. In its audible form, “The Big Parade” returns commencing Mon day at the Abbeville Opera House. All its thrills, all its heart throbs, which held .ten million people spell bound in the silent days, are there, intensified a hundredfold by being heard as well as seen. * The rest of the world will also hear for the first time the sensa tional musical score which marked its New York showing. Dr. William Axt, creator of this, personally di rected the hundred-piece sym phony orchestra that repeated the musical masterpiece for the new audible form of the classic of the screen. The picture, most famous screen play in the world, was directed by King Vidor. The cast includes Jojtm Gilbert, Renee Adoree, Karl Dane, Hobart Bosworth, Claire Mc Dowell, Tom O’Brien and other celebrated players. Remember “The Big Parade” is showing at the Abbeville Opera House, Monday and Tuesday, February 1st and 2nd. ixi Borrowing trouble, is a simple •thing because so many people are Htrjdng to get rid of it. uie _ - Sen; Bill Passed By Local Delegation The following bill introduced in the legislature by the McCormick County delegation has been passed, and was handed the paper for pub lication: ( A BILL To Fix the Compensation of Jurors, Witnesses, Bailiffs, Constables and Court Crier in Attendance Upon the Courts of General Ses sion and Common Pleas in Mc Cormick County. # e it enacted by the General As- sembly of the State of South Carolina: , SECTION 1.

Tobacco Fertilizers Outlined For Growers The Messenger on Friday night received the following wire * from Senator Smith: kfy amendment to finance the nstruction bill providing fifty million dollars to aid farmers for crop production purposes in 1932 was finally passed by Congress this afternoon and has gone to the President for his signature. The amendment is so worded that in addition to fifty million dollars the amount may be increased up to two hundred million dollars if the emergency requires. The money will be loaned direct to farmers in the same manner as seed loan funds have been admin istered for the past three years and has no connection whatever with agricultural credit corporations, livestock credit corporations or in termediate credit bank. I am proud of the fact that this makes the fourth year that I have been instrumental in aiding dis tressed ' farmers. E. D.

We regret not being able to reach our goal, however, we are grateful to report that the total from the sale in our county amounted to $61.57. Again I thank you. MRS. CARRIE TALBERT, Chairman for McCormick Co. FLORENCE, Jan. 23. — Recom mendations of the Southeastern Tobacco Research Committee for the fertilization of bright flue-cur ed tobacco recognize the fact that the tobacco plant uses, during its growth, phosphorus, nitrogen, pot ash, lime, chlorine, magnesia, sul phur, and possibly manganese, says R. E. Currin, tobacco specialist at the Pee Dee Experiment Station. The conclusions based on careful research of various experiment stations, may be stated briefly thus: ► 1. The formulas recommended call for eight per cent available phosphoric acid, three per cent ammonia and five per cent potash on heavy and more productive soils; on light and less productive soils an 8-4-6. 2. Where “sand-drown” or mag nesia hunger is present, the ferti lizer should contain two per cent magnesia. 3. A small- quantity of chlorine in tobacco fertilizers increases the acre value of the crop, but excess injures the growth and reduces the quality. The analysis should con tain two per cent chlorine, or less. 4. The amount of fertilizer may be varied from 400 to 1200 pounds per acre, applied in the drill and thoroughly mixed with the soil at least 10 days before transplanting. 5. The sources of the ingredients used is of vital importance. The phosphoric acid should be derived from acid phosphate; the potash from any source of available pot ash, provided the chlorine conten. of the mixed fertilizer does not ex ceed two per cent; the ammonia one-half from high grade organic materials of plant or animal origin, such as cottonseed meal, fish scrap, high grade tankage, and dried blood, at least one-fourth from ni trate of soda, the remainder from such materials as urea, and or standard inorganic sources of am monia. 6. Fertilizer fo^ plant beds should contain not more than one per cent chlorine. Mr. Currin gives the following mixture as a sample of a good to bacco fertilizer: 1000 pounds 16 per cent acid. 600 pounds 7 per cent cotton seed meal. 80 pounds 25 per cent sulphate of ammonia. 100 pounds 18 per cent nitrate of soda. 80 pounds 48 per cent muriate of potash. 100 pounds 50 per cent sulphate of potash. 100 pounds 26 per cent sulphate of potash magnesia. This mixture makes 2060 pounds, will analyze around 3-4-6, and can be applied 400 pounds to 1000 pounds per acre, according to fertility of the land. Mr. Currin will be glad to send other formulas to those desiring them. ixi Grow A Good Garden Growing Disease-Free Sweet Potato Plants MAKE GARDEN KIND AND SIZE TO MEET FAMILY NEEDS CLEMSON COLLEGE, Jan. 23.— That the financial value of a farm vegetable garden is quite generally under estimated because the bulk of the produce goes to the farmily table instead of being converted into actual cash, is the opinion of A. E. Schilletter, extension horti culturist, who believes that if ac curate records were kept of a well planned properly cared for garden, they would show that the farm area devoted to the raising of vegetables produces a larger re turn v/ith less investment of time and money than any other part of the farm. Indeed, he says, records of the state garden contest for the last four years show this to be true. The size of the farm garden is determined, of course, by the needs of the family. One-half acre, Mr. Schilletter thinks, is ample size for a family of five. Seeds and plants for a garden of this size, according to estimates of average gardens, cost $8.23 and the average labor required is only 83.9 man hours and 22.6 horse hours per year. The cost of fertilizer depends on soil fertility and other conditioifcs. There is, therefore, no reason for failure to have such a garden be cause of too great a cost in money and labor. Any piece of land having a soil suitable for general crops may be selected for the vegetable garden. A level spot or one having a slight slope to north or northeast is more desirable, $ince such a slope is not likely to suffer from drying hot winds as a southwest slope. To be of greatest convenience and serv- ce, the garden should be near the house and should have a perman ent location to permit building up the soil for maximum production of quality garden crops. To reduce labor in the farm garden its size and shape should be suitable for field methods of culti vation. A long narrow garden is setter adapted for horse and ma chinery cultivation than a square area, since there are fewer rows and less turning. If hand work is the chief method of cultivation, rows may be closer, and of course greater yields may be secured un- ier favorable conditions. -X- Maryland Beauty Queen CLEMSON COLLEGE, Jan. 23.— Sweet potato plant growing can be made a profitable business in South Carolina, but the prospective grow er must know the regulations of the State Crop Pest Commission regarding the sale of plants, says Alfred Lutken, extension plant, pathologist, advising that these regulations are necessary to pre vent the distribution of diseased plants, thus protecting the buyer and enabling the grower, by furn ishing disease-free plants to build up a good trade. For the certification of plants it is necessary for the Crop Pest Com mission to make one field inspec tion for wilt or’stem rot, one stor age inspection for black rot, and one plant bed inspection. Further, the seed must be disinfected just before bedding to destroy any fun gus spores. If the sweet potatoes and plants are found free of dis ease, a certificate is issued permit ting the sale of plants. The farmer growing plants for his own use should be as careful as the commercial grower, Mr. Lutken continues, discarding all cut and badly bruised sweet pota toes and those showing rotten spots, and after treating the seed, bedding them in well prepared beds where there is no danger of soil contamination from previous sweet potato beds or fields. Corrosive sublimate (mercuric chloride) at the rate of 1-1000 or one ounce in eight gallons of water is the safest effective disinfectant for sweet potatoes, Mr. Lutken states. Though this is a deadly internal poison, it is not injurious to the hands. If for any reason corrosive sublimate cannot be ob tained, formaldehyde may be used instead. Directions for use of these disinfectants may be secured from county farm agents or from the Extension Service at Clemson College. X New Japanese Envoy Joseph C.

Top Dressing Brings Big Increase In Grain COLUMBIA, Jan. 25.—Tests con ducted by seven farmers in the counties of Orangeburg, Bamberg, Darlington, Clarendon and Oconee to determine the value of top dress ing on oats show an average in crease of 48.7 bushels per acre where top dressing was applied, ac cording to figures compiled here. The highest increase was shown in the test conducted by George H. Smoak( of CordOva, Orangeburg county, where there was- an in crease of 67 1-2 bushels while the lowest increase was shown in the test of R. J. Jones of Bamberg, where there was in increase of 33 1-4 bushels per acre. Mr. Smoak’s test was conducted under the supervision of R. F. Kolb, Orangeburg County Agent, and he produced a yield of 17 1-4 bushels on the one acre where no top dressing was applied. On the acre where 200 pounds of Chilean ni trate of soda was applied as a top-r dresser he secured a yield of 84 3-4 bushels. The oats were planted Prance's Prettiest Girl Mile. Arlette Debrueil, 17, school girl, has been acclaimed as the girl' with (he prettiest face in all France. Revives States’ Rights John J. Raskob, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, • wants each individual state to de- ! cide for itself whether to be wet ’ or dry. Weds Governor’s Son Miss Elizabeth Browning Don • ner, of Villanova, Pa., was married to Elliott Roosevelt, son of the New York Governor, at a brilliant church ceremony. -X- Miss Stella McGrady, 22, Rising Sun schoolteacher, won the beauty ■ contest of the Maryland Farm Federation from fifteen other con- near the school house at Cordova. Mr. Jones’ test was conducted under the supervision of W. H. Craven county agent for Bamberg County, and on the acre on which no top dresser was applied he se cured a yield of 21 1-4 bushels. On the acre where 200 pounds of Chil ean nitrate of soda was applied as a top-dresser he secured a yield of 55 bushels. The test conducted by W. E. Bryant of Darlington showed an in crease of 46 bushels where top dressing was used; that of G. W. Wannamaker, of Calhoun county, an increase of 40 bushels; that of Navy Will Now Consider Seventh Grade Applicants R. E. Sanders of the Navy Re cruiting Station, Greenwood, S. C., announces that applicants for en listment who have completed the seventh grade in school will now r be accepted for enlistment if oth erwise qualified. This change in policy is the result of an increased number of enlistments allowed this District comprising North and South Carolina, and results indi rectly from, the recent closing of several large recruiting stations. This announcement will permit the reconsideration of a large number . of applicants who have not hereto fore been able to meet the educa tional requirements and will open on sandy loam of uniform fertility] to many young men the vast oppor- tunities offered by the Navy to Eearn-Learn-and-Travel., C. N. Sprott, of Summerton, Clar 6 - endon county, an increase of 45 bushels; that of C. W. and J. E. Bauknight of Walhalla, Oconee county, an increase of 64 bushels and that of E. P. Hutto, of Or angeburg an increase of 47 bush-- els. In each of these tests there was on: acre of oats where no top; dreeing was used while on an other acre 200 pounds of Chilean nitrate of soda was used as a top- dresser and the results compared..
