Schilletter, Extension Horticulturist) There is an opportunity in South Carolina for farmers to make the Clemson, Feb. 1. That a good swee t potato ar important money start is important is stressed by cr0 p ( as proved by numerous dem- extension specialists in their Feb ruary farm calendar. Agronomy Manure is one of the best fer tilisers. Make, save, and use more of it. Study your soil and past fertiliz er treatment and save money by adjusting this year’s fertilizer to plant needs. Save money by home-mixing cnstrations. Although it ranks fifth among South Carolina crops, it has not developed from a commercial standpoint to its fullest extent. This is largely because most farm ers have not realized that it is a highly specialized truck crop when handled properly. In 1926 South Carolina seemed well on its way as a sweet potato producing state, shipping 200 cars whatever fertiUzer you are using. that year. During the same year Get Extension Circular 126, Home- Mixing of Fertilizers. Horticulture Plant strawberries, dewberries, blackberries. \ Set out grape vines, fruit trees, and ornamental plants. Plant asparagus and Irish po tatoes in coastal counties; trans plant cabbage plants in central and upper -counties. Plant celery, kale, lettuce, mus tard, onions, parsley, peas, radish es, spinach, and turnips. Plant in hotbeds, pepper, tomato, eggplant. Insects and Diseases Louisiana shipped 1300 cars. Ten years later, however, South Caro lina shipped only 100 cars, while Louisiana shipped 2600 cars. Market reports in February, 1936, showed that Porto Ricans in Lou isiana were jobbing from $1.75 to $1.90 per crate, while on the same markets South Carolina Porto Ric ans were selling for $1.25 to $1.45. Realizing that something was wrong with the sweet potato in dustry in South Carolina, Director D. W. Watkins of the Extension Service sent representatives to Lou isiana to study the industry and to ascertain how the growers there to control scale insects and dis- before the buds begin to Spray peach trees with lime sul- t could demand so much better pric- lur or oil emulsion and Bordeaux es than growers in our stat e.

The 25,000,000th Ford car rolled off the Ford Rouge Plant pro duction line on January 18, 1937. 25 million cars since 1903 . .. more than one-third of all the cars ever built ... enough cars to transport the entire population of the United States. The figures represent a remarkable contribution to the social welfare, the industrial stability and the general progress of our country. People respect Ford efficiency. They know Ford uses fine materials, the best workmanship at good wages, the most exact precision measurements. They know these things are passed along to purchasers in the form of extra value. Naturally, they like to do business with such a company. That is the only reason it has been required to produce 25 million cars. Naturally, too, they expect more of a Ford car, more this year than last year — more FORD MOTO each year than the year before. They have every right to. The experience gained in building 25,000,000 cars en ables Ford to produce today a really superb motor car at a really low price — with the Beauty, Comfort, Safety and Performance of much more ex pensive cars. The 1937 Ford V-8 combines ad vanced design, aU-steel construction, extra body room, and brilliant brakes with a choice of two V-type 8-cylin der engines — the most modern type of power-plant on land, sea, or in the air. The 85-horsepower engine provides top performance with unusually good economy for its high power. The 60-horsepower engine gives good performance with the greatest gasoline mileage ever built into a Ford car—and wears the lowest Ford price tag in years. People expect more of a Ford car because it*s a Ford — and they get more, for the same reason. It is undeniably the quality car in the low-price field. COMPANY available for further distribution.
