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.

In emergencies like these,
a telephone is priceless. At
such times, its value is be

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. Gray,
Greenville. -

tives of the larger fertilizer con
cerns of the state were present be
sides 50 or more from North Caro
lina. 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.

be deficient in some of the poorly

soils of the Coastal Plains. * . De
ficiency of iron in feeds causes a

animals commonly called “salt

where iron is deficient in food
plants. In plants iron produces a
very dark green color and is nec

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.

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.
