SOUTH CAROLINA PAGE NUMBER EIGHT Lost, 20 Lbs. of Fat In Just 4 Weeks Mrs. Mae West of St. Louis, Mo., writes: “I’m only 28 yrs. old and weighed 170 lbs. until taking one box of your Kruschen Salts just 4 weeks ago. I now weigh 150 lbs. I also have more energy and fur thermore I’ve never had a hungry moment.” Fat folks should take one half teaspoonful of Kruschen Salts in a glass of hot water in the morning before breakfast—it’s the SAFE, harmless way to reduce as tens of thousands of men and worn know. For your health’s sake ask for a get Kruschen at—any drug store— the cost for a bottle that lasts 4 weeks is but a trifle and if after the first bottle you are not joyfully sat isfied with results—money back.

CLEMSON COLLEGE, Aug. 15.— Good news of better farming is found in the brief stories reported from county farm agents below, ypical of scores of others from av- •jry part of the state. i - 1. Many lespedeza fields are looking fine. W. H. Hamilton, Edgemoor, raised enough seed on two acres to sow 40 acres this year, iaif of it on bottom land and now around knee-high.—M. - C. Crain, Chester. 2. A co-operative order of six tons fish meal has been made up for '5 farmers. More hogs are being fed for early fall market than ever beTore.—V. M. Johnston, Allendale. 3. Charley Robertson, Pleasant Hill poultryman. reports since he has been fattening broilers in coops his retail trade is willing to pay more for them—as much as 25 per cent above market.—R. D. Steer, Lancaster. 4. During July 653 hogs have been out on feed for September market. Farmers realize this is the best way | to sell corn.—J. H. Harvey, Berke- | ley. ' 5. A gardener sold $213 worth of ! vegetables from 11-2 acres between January 1 and July 1—mor^ than the average one-horse farmer can get from his entire cotton crop.— L. W. Alford. Colleton. 6. In our hog feeding contest sponsored by D. R. Coker the 10 highest men produced pork at av erage cost of $2.71 per hundred pounds, with a return of $1.71 per bushel for corn consumed.—J. M. Napier, Darlington. 7. We expect to ship 140 to 150 carloads of peaches this year, and will probably realize more than for last year’s crop though the yield is about 30 per cent less.—Ernest Carnes, Spartanburg. 8. Last year in a sandy section with little rain we had a crotalaria demonstration. Cotton and corn this year following the crotalaria will make at least twice as much as adjoining crop.—S. W. Epps, Dillon. 9. Many dairymen have already filled their trench silos, many oth ers to follow. Through these silos much corn will be saved for winter feed without great loss from drought.—T. F. Cooley, Newberry. 10. J. B. Clowney, who had a bunch of nice young pigs grazing on alfalfa sold them recently for $150—just another instance of how diversified farming helps along in these hard times.—R. L. Lemmon, Fairfield. 11. J. W. Abrams has set aside for pork production 50 acres of his best land, fenced it into four sections, and has worked out a rotation to keep his hogs grazing in the field th^ entire year.—P. B. Ezell, New berry. 12. The community cannery that was set up this spring has been kept busy and a large quantity of fruits and vegetables has already been put up by farmers and others for next winter.—W. R.

Charles J. Brand, secretary of the National Fertilizer Associa tion, was among the visitors, all of whom seemed favorably impressed with the outlay for this important work at the Sandhill station. Plant symptoms indicating food deficiencies are very evident this season, says Dr. Cooper, and the fertilizer people therefore had ex cellent opportunity to become fam iliar with the problems involved. Regarding certain plant food defi ciencies Dr. Cooper pointed out these facts, important to farmers as well as fertilizer people. On August 1 the principal limit ing factors were: Showery weath er, weevil activity in the south and east: a small plant up-state, and reduction in fertilizer used. On the other hand the plants were blooming and fruiting Avell and a period of warm dry weather would improve the situation. Cotton planted was estimated at 1,773,000 acres on July 1 and since no estimate of abandoned acreage will be made until the September report, the ten-year average aband onment of 2.5 per cent was allowed in arriving at the estimate of 1,- 1. Potash deficiency (rust or ! I 29 - 000 acres t0 be ha " e ' sted lhis frenching) in crops is characterized by the lower leaves turning yellow, then brown, finally dropping off. All the leaves of cotton shed pre maturely, the bolls are undersize, and the cotton is hard to pick. 2. Magnesium deficiency (sand- drown in tobacco) is common in tobacco, cotton, corn, and sorghum on certain gray sandy soils. In cot ton the lower leaves are reddish brown, affected leaves soon fall off, with premature ripening of the crop. In corn the leaves have characteristic streaks usually white; in sorghum, reddish brown. In tobacco the leaves are thin and yellow. 3. In manganese deficiency, com mon on certain soils which have season. The indicated yield per acre is 163 pounds lint which compares with 245 pounds made iast year and a ten-year average of 165 pounds. A condition of 56 compares with an average of 62 for the years 1921- 1930 and is the lowest August con dition since 1926, when it was 54 per cent. UNITED STATES: A United States cotton crop of 11,306,000 bales is forecast by the Department of Agriculture, based on conditions as of August 1. If realized this will be 5,790,000 bales less than the average of the last five years. The average yield for the United States is forecast at 149.6 pounds It must have been a strange and staggering experience Elijah had when the brook dried up. God sent him there; no more babbling, only stagnant pools. We may get a valuable lesson from this incident for today. Many brooks have dried up ahd the sparkling, soothing flow is no longer heard. The stream of busi ness, prosperity, brotherly love, trust, and maybe faith, have large ly dried up; here and yonder stag nant pools. Elijah didn’t know what to do; however, he had tim^ to listen in, for God broadcasted directions that would deliver him cut of this delima. We can’t put on brakes long enough to hear God’s voice. He is saying, “Be still and know that I am God.” He is speaking to the world through the dry brook. When God dries up a brook he sets an ocean going. Elijah obeyed and moved out in a larger field of service than he had known before. Instead of a brook to drink from, he began drinking from oceans; meal barrels that didn’t empty; fountains that could not dry up. The streams of God’s love, salvation, deeper joy, faith, prosperity, trust; friendship are flowing on forever. We only have to move to the command of God as did Elijah, in order to find the eternal streams. We haven’t come back through congress, governmental administra tion, conferences, conventions; I fear this is not the route. I look for streams of a new day, better, more glorious,- refreshing, soothing, sparkling than ever, when we hear God’s voice, “Be still and know that I am God.” Oh! what a mes sage He wants to put over to this world. He is now speaking. Let us stop long enough to hear His great message, for oceans are out yonder when we get away from the dry brooks.

Iron and possibly copper may be deficient in some of the poorly drained soils and in the gray sandy soils of the Coastal Plains. * . De ficiency of iron in feeds causes a nutritional disturbance in farm animals commonly called “salt sickness.” Both farm animals and man may be anaemic in regions where iron is deficient in food plants. In plants iron produces a very dark green color and is nec essary for chlorophyll formation. txx Plant Fall Garden Now CLEMSON COLLEGE, Aug. 13.— Asserting that the cool period be fore frost is the best growing sea son for some vegetables, A. E. Schilletter, extension horticulturist, advises that plantings in the fall garden should be done in August and September. Such vegetables as cabbage, carrots, beets, spinach, turnips, lettuce, and kale thrive best in cool weather, he says, and should be planted at such a time that most of the growing period will be in the cool season of the fall before frost. Beans may be planted in succession until six weeks before frost. Here are his specific suggestions to fall gardeners. Cabbage plants of the Wakefield varieties, if set now, will form heads before the cold weather. With slight protection both cabbage and col- lards will carry through our sev erest winters. Kale sown in September will pro duce abundant greens during win ter and early spring. Siberian Curled is a good fall variety. For lettuce, sow Big Boston and Mignonette for a fall and winter supply. With slight protection firm heads can be produced. Mustard will stand any amount of cold, and sown during late Au gust and September will furnish greens throughout the fall, winter and early spring. Rape sown in September will yield excellent winter greens. Spinach sown in the last of Sep tember or the oatly part of Octo ber will produce greens throughout the winter until late spring. The turnip is one of the reliable vegetables, producing both roots and tops for winter and spring use. Sow seed August 15 to September 15. Southern Pride is good for roots and tops. Japanese Foliage and Seven-Tops are good for salad. 1930. Condition is reported as 65.6 per cent of normal, compared with 74.9 per cent last year, and • the ten-year average of 66.4 per cent. The prospects for the crop are more uncertain than usual because boll weevils are present in greater numbers than in any year since 1928. The infestation is general practically all over the Cotton Belt but is worse in the Delta lands along the Mississippi River. Re cent showery weather has favored the multiplication of weevils in many places, and if such weather should prevail during the next few weeks the loss of cotton from wee- vil§ would be even more than seems probable at this time. On the oth er hand the plants are generally blooming and fruiting fairly well, and a period of hot, dry weather could materially improve the pros pects. ✓ The amount of fertilizer applied to cotton this season was much less than for several years past, and in many places the plants are smaller than usual. This is one of the factors causing the relatively low condition of the crop. The Census report shows 70,978 running bales (counting round as half bales) ginned from the crop of 1932 prior to August 1, compar ed with 7,307 for 1931 and 78,188 for 1930. FRANK O.

Selling Feeds To Stock Pays Florence Farmers FLORENCE, Aug. 13.—Hogs and dairy cows are turning feeds into cash on Florence county farms, says Ward McLendon, county farm ag ent, as these facts and instances clearly show. “Though the corn crop has been cut considerably short, fortunately there are many corn fields seeded to soybeans, which have stood the dry weather better than any oth er crop, and these beans are prov ing a great help to our hog feeders, “Mr. McLendon states. “For in stance, F. B. Anderson, Effingham, has a bunch of nice Poland China shoats which has been grazing on a field of soybeans continually dur ing the dry weather and both beans and hogs are doing well.” Mr. McLendon cites also the ex perience of A. P. McElveen, Effing ham, whose corn crop has been cut half by drought but is sure that soybeans in the corn will make up the corn shortage. He intends to finish off with these his 22 hogs for sale this fall. Though a small farmer Mr. McElveen last year shipped some hogs and butchered the rest, and now has 22 nice coun try hams for later sale after having sold enough to pay his labor bills up to date. G. L. Hyman, Mar» Bluff, is still another seller of corn through hogs. He is now turning 86 hogs into a field of 10 acres of corn that will yield 30 bushels per acre. When this field is cleaned up, the hogs will go into another corn field un til they weigh 180 to 200 pounds and then the com they have gath ered will be turned into cash. Dairy cows pay well for feed also is illustrated, Mr. McLendon, states, in the experience of S. P. DuPre, of the Back Swamp section, who keeps seven cows and has sold during the past five months $328.96 worth of cream and butter from three cows in milk during the first three months and four during the last two months. Other returns from the cows include 66 gallons of milk consumed by the family; 326 gal lons of skimmilk fed to calves, pigs, and chickens and 203 gallons to his farm hands; and 46 tons of com post that went back to enrich the land. -*XJ Norway has a law compelling ev eryone to plant tree saplings for every tree cut down, but in this country, not even one is planted for every three cut down. HE STANDS FOR: 1. Reduction of government ex penses, salaries and waste in Wash ington. 2. Distribution of the tax burden according to the ability of the peo ple to pay, with no special favors for the privileged few. 3. Rehabilitation of agriculture as the basis of American prosper ity. 4. A fair price for the farmers* products, and the right of the la boring man to have a job at a liv ing wage. 5. Collection of the war debts due America, so that this burden will not fall on the Americart tax payers. 6. A balanced budget by reduc tion in expenses, instead of new taxes the people are unable to pay. 7. A policy of looking after the affairs of America first, instead of catering to Europe. 8. A square deal to labor. 9. No “drones” on his govern ment payroll if elected. 10. Honest government and the peoples rights instead of govern ment by bureaus and commissions. 11.
