The Extra Bolls
Are The Profit
XZOU have got to produce a certain amount of cotton to pay
*•" for the labor, fertilizer and other incidental expenses. If you
produce only the number of bolls necessary to pay these expenses,
you will have no profit left. It is from the exfra bolls on each stalk
that your profit comes. Therefore, it is only natural that what you
are looking for is a fertilizer that will put these extra bolls on
every stalk.
I
For fifty years Royster has done nothing but study plant foods *
for various crops—cotton in particular. It has been our life work
to produce an early-maturing, heavy-producing cotton plant, and
we feel that our efforts have met with success. It stands to reason
that one who has spent a life-time at one job must succeed.
fie sure you get the extra bolls that mean profit. See your
Royster agent and let him know how many tons of Royster Field
Tested Cotton Fertilizer you will need.

J. S. STROM
Main Street McCormick, S. C.
From The Leesburg Commercial,
Leesburg, Fla., Jan. 18.
When death came to James
Arthur Boyd, Sr., last Saturday
there was removed from the busi
ness life of Leesburg one who filled
an unusual niche. Engaged in
business here for almost two dec
ades, he never ma^e an enemy. He
was regarded as more than square
in all his dealings, he never let
down a friend and if he had an
enemy he never knew it. And when
hisjxxiy was laid to rest in Lone
Oak cemetery on Sunday after
noon, the largest turnout of mem
bers of his lodge, the Knights of
Pythias, in local history attended.
There were 43 Knights at the
graveside.
Mr. Boyd was a native of Mt.
Carmel, S. C., where he was born in
1875. He came to Leesburg in 1913
and less than two years later en
gaged in the furniture business in a
small way, adding lines of furniture
and hardware gradually until be
fore his death he had built up a big
business. On March 24, 1915, he
was united in marriage to Lillia
Harris of Starke, Bradford county,
and brought his bride to Leesburg
where they made and have always
held a large circle of staunch
friends. Three children have graced
their union, James Arthur, Jr.,
Everett, and Lillian. These and the
widow survive. Th6re are also one
sister, Mrs. W. R. Powell of Green
ville, S. C., and three brothers,
Frank and Walter of Calhoun Falls,
S. C., and C. B. of Carlton, Ga.
In early life Mr. Boyd joined the
Associated Reformed Presbyterian
church and he lived his entire life
according to the strict tenets of
this faith. There being no church
of that denominja^n in this sec
tion he held his »&nberehi4fc<ki the
old church at Mt. Carmel until his
death. An attempt was made to
get the son of his old pastor and
teacher, W. S. Patterson, Lancaster,
S. C., for the funeral but the time
element prevented.
Funeral services were conducted
in the First Baptist church Sunday
afternoon, the pastor, Dr. Russell
officiating, and interment followed
in Lone Oak under the auspices of
the Knights of Pythias. Pallbearers
were L. D. Burdine, R. O. Bowden,
J. L. Shelfer, George B. Fussell, T.
G. Futch, R. L. Boyte, G. G. Ware
and B. K. Goodwin.
Many people from out of town
attended the funeral. Among them
were Mrs. W. R. Powell, Greenville,
S. C., J. C. Boyd, Abbeville, S. C.,
Mrs. A. B. Andrews, Willington, S.
C., Mrs. W. C. Harris and Mr. and
Mrs. G. A. Prevatt, Middleburg, Mr.
and Mrs. J. H. Harris, Mr. and Mrs.
E. E. Stephens and baby, Tampa,

Harris, Mrs. M. A. Austin, Mr. and

Laura Belle Prevatt of Jacksonville,

Lee of Green Cove Springs, Mr. and

Beef Cattle Outlook
Is Rather Promising
CLEMSON COLLEGE, Feb. 2.—
Because of the reduced supply of
slaughter cattle and other meat
animals, O. M. Clark, extension ag
ricultural economist, thinks that
he price level of beef cattle should
be considerably higher in 1935 and
should also be good relative to feed
prices during the next few years.
Discussing the situation, he says:
“The cattle production cycle has
':ecn on the up-swing since 1928,
Mie number having increased about
10.5 million head between January
1, 1928, and January 1, 1934. But
as a result of the drought, the in
crease during these six years was
practically wiped out during 1934.
The purchase and slaughter of 7.5
million head by the government
and the marked increase of com
mercial slaughter caused a .marked
reduction in cattle numbers during
the year.
“Since about 80 per cent of the
cattle bought by the government
for slaughter were cows and heif
ers, cattle numbers may show no
increase during 1935. The market
ing and slaughter of cattle and
calves* during 1935 are expected to
be greatly reduced. A fairly large
quantity of short-fed cattle may
move to market during the early
months of the year but the iota!
supply of well finished cattle is ex
pected to be very small, the reduc
tion being most pronounced during
the summer and fall months. Cat
tle will probably resume its increase
but probably cannot begin before
1936 or ’S?.”
Joe E. Brown, the wide mouthed-
comedian, will come to the Abbe
ville Opera House Monday and
Tuesday, February llth-12th, as a
“6 Day Bike Rider,” a First Nation
al production that is said to be the
biggest rib tickler in which Joe has
yet appeared.
The story, by Earl Baldwin, ia
crammed with hilarious situations^,
side-splitting gags, romance and'
heart throbs, and in addition car- -
ries enough thrills to make a melo*
drama.
Joe, as the village wise cracker
and local Don Juan, becomes-
jealous of a professional trick bi
cycle rider, and tells the neighbors
that he will “show” them by going
to the big city and winning the
great six day race.
He takes his pal along with him'
and the two get jobs as messenger
boys in order to eat until they get>
the big prize for the winning teaxm.
Joe sees his rival, imagines his girl
has eloped with him, starts a battles
and is thrown into jail on the very
day the race is scheduled to start.
His experiences behind the bars,
before he is bailed out, are plenty
amusing, but are nothing com
pared to the ridiculous situations iir
the race after he gets into it. This
is not only riotously funny, but
carries some of the biggest thrills
ever shown on the screen.
Textures to be used together at
the same window must be chosen
carefully, says the United /States*-
bureau of home economics. With
cretonne drapes, glass curtains or
scrim ' marquisette or linen gauze
are pleasing, but silks call for fine'
net, lace or silk gauze.
