Watson conducted the program. Devotional and short talk by the Rev. D. W. Keller. Due to the fact that the Plum Branch school has added the ninth grade this year, the high school enrollment was only 172. The num ber to enroll in grammar school was 254. Because the highway over which one of the buses has to come was under construction, about 47 children were unable to attend the opening exercises, but enrolled Monday. The trustees have purchased a new bus for one of the routes and a new boiler for the high school heating plant. The desks were worked over, the grounds cleaned and everything put in readiness for the beginning of a successful year. Supt. Watson comes highly recommended from Johnston.

If they demand South Carolina products the merchants will supply them and that would mean much to the farmers of our state*”* ‘‘A great deal of valuable infor mation and scientific data was gathered by the Natural Resources Commission during its' existence", declares the head of the Agricul tural Department, “and it is our aim to make the most of this mate rial”. The work of the Department of Agriculture has been so heavy since he became commissioner last March that it has not been possible to car ry out his plans for the Natural Resources division, with his limited force, says Mr. Jones. “However", he states “I am mapping out » campaign which will push to the front the natural advantages pos sessed by the products of South. Carolina. And in this connection I wish to enlist the active coopera tion of every wbman in the state and of all who are interested in the further and continued -development of our resources”:- The work of the Natural Resour ces Commissoin which was carried .on for several years by direct ap propriation of the legislature teas placed in the Department of Agri culture last winter and a small ap propriation was included in the de partment’s budget for a director of this division. It is understood to be the plan of Mr. Jobes Ip push for ward this work with his regular staff assisting this director. i A great deal of material gathered from various sections of the state during the past few years and placed in pamphlet form is- now in. the office of the agricultural com missioner. He plans to use this t» the best advantage and to urge the people of South Carolina to join in carrying on the campaign which he believes will result in increasing the consumption dr vegetables, fruits, canned goods, and all manu factured or packaged goods in the state.
