Mrs. Sara Strom
Died Sunday
REHOBOTH, June 3.—The Re-
hoboth community was shocked
Sunday morning by the sad news
that the death angel had claimed
our friend, Mrs. Sara Strom, at
3:30 a. m., June 2nd, 1935.
While she had been sick a long
time and bore her suffering pati
ently and cheerfully, we were not
prepared for the sad news. Mrs.
Strom had lived most of her life in
this community until about four
teen years ago she went to make
her home in Greenwood with her
daughter, Mrs. Curtis Corley, who
has so tenderly cared for her.
Mrs. Strom was a faithful Chris
tian lady, a loving mother and
grandmother. Our church and W.
M. S. loses a faithful member. No
need to eulogize her kind deeds for
every one who knew her loved her;
her life speaks for itself. She had
hardly reached her allotted number
of years; she richly deserves the
crown in glory. Her husband, Mr.
J. E. Strom, preceded her to the
grave some thirty years ago.
Mrs. Strom was buried by the side
of her husband in Rehoboth ceme
tery this morning at 11 o’clock.
Funeral services were held at 9:30
o’clock this morning at Mrs. Cor
ley’s home in Greenwood, conduct
ed by Dr. Charles F. Sims of Green
wood, and were concluded at Reho
both Church, with Dr. John Webb
of Columbia, Dr. D. V. Cason of
McCormick and the Rev. G. W.
Guriey-of "Callison-assisting.
Mrs. Strom is survived by seven
children, Mrs. J. P. Talbert, of Re
hoboth; Mrs. J. W. Quarles, of
Edgefield; Mrs. Cuftis Corley, of
Greenwood; Messrs. J. S., W. M. and
J. E. Strom, of McCormick, and &
E. Strom, of Columbia; one sister,
Mrs. Clara Faulkner, of Green
wood; one brother, Mr. Jim Bell, of
Edgefield county; a number of
nieces and nephews, and two sisters.
; Mrs. Mamie Bell, of Mc
Cormick, and Mrs. Margaret Doo
little, of Rehoboth.

Weevils Abundant
In Coast Counties
CLEMSON, June 6.—Since weevils
are reported to be abundant in many
of the coastal counties and cotton
to be well advanced in growth and
squaring freely, farmers of that sec
tion are advised by W. C. Nettles,
extension entomologist, to apply the
1-1-1 mixture at once, and those of
the Piedmont section are advised to
secure a supply of materials at an
early date.
County agents report that large
variations occurred in the number
of adult weevils found per acre,
stating that often several ^ fields
would be visited before weevils were
found and then as many as 3,000
weevils might be found to an acre.
Complete information regarding
boll weevil control will be found in
Extension Circular 104, Boll Weevil
Control. A copy of this publication
may be obtained from the Publica
tions Department at Clemson Col-
lege or from the county agent.
