State’s 4-H Clubs
Honor Constitution
Clemson, Jan. 23. — Community
4-H clubs in South Carolina will
Join with those over the nation in
helping to celebrate the sesqui-
centennial of the Constitution of
the United States. February, the
birth month of George Washington,
will be the month of most of these
patriotic programs of the 4-H club-
sters.
To this end Dan Lewis, state
boys’ club agent, and Leon Clayton,
the assistant agent, are sending out
suggested programs and supplying
special literature and other ma -
terials from the American Tree As
sociation, Washington, D. C., and
the Extension Service of Clemson
College. With these special mate
rials local clubs will stage different
types of celebrations arranged by
local 4-H leaders and presidents
and local 4-H community commit
tees in cooperation with county
agents.
A feature of these Constitution
celebrations will be the setting of
ornamental trees on public
grounds, 4-H forest plantings, and
such. In the setting of these trees
Die 4-H club members will observe
the 14 points in ornamental tree
planting as outlined by the Amer
ican Tree Association and thus
learn the principles of successful
tree planting.
Messrs. Lewis and Clayton urge
that every 4-H community club in
South Carolina join in this national
celebration. They suggest also that
the sesquicentennial plantings be
registered on the national honor
roll of the American Tree Associa
tion. This is done by notifying the
Association, giving the name and
address of the planting club, the
date of planting, and the kind of
planting—whether it is a single
tree, a memorial avenue, a com- 1
munity forest, or whatnot.

during the calendar year, each such
day being in a different calendar
week.
There shall be credited against
the tax the total amount of con
tributions paid into an unemploy
ment fund under a State law, but
such credit shall not exceed 90 per
cent of the tax liability.

H ERE is an action picture

Thousands of bird dogs range

Sulu. To this glorious creature
Nature gave her greatest gift, a
perfect balance of the vital ele
ments; speed, scent, endurance,
instinct and intelligence. An
other pointer may be just as good
to look at, but Sulu has that vital
spark—every thing in perfect bal
ance. So Sulu is the queen; the
other is just a dog.
Just as Nature favored Sulu,
she favored Natural Chilean Ni

many elements in Nature’s bal
ance, so has this nitrogen fer
tilizer. Nature aged and blended
