Fiftjr years ago she was married to the late Dr. Bussey, one of Augusta’s prom inent and successful business men, and had lived there since. Mrs. Bussey was one of whom it could truly be said “to know her was to love her”, for her sweet unselfish nature and kind and sympathetic heart endeared her to all who were thrown with her. Though her generous nature made her ever ready to listen to any plea for help, and she was known never to turn a deaf ear to the sorrows of others, her heart was centered in her home and loved ones. She was a member of the First Baptist church, and one whose religious faith was shown by her daily life.

X Ceresan Treatment Of Cotton Seed Successful Cotton seed treated with Ceresan (Mercuric Dust) is showing good results. In examining the plants treated the roots are well develop ed and already branching to give the plant a quick start in growth. It is also noticeable on treated plants that the leaves are larger and stems longer. Fanners treat ing their seed have not complained of their cotton dying. This treat ment does not help cotton in com ing up but prevents it from dying after it is up. There are approximately 1500 bushels of seed treated in the County this spring. The effects show up more prominently at two stages, namely: when the cotton is young and at picking time. The increase last season on treating 60,000 bushels throughout the state was about 200 pounds of seed cot ton per acre. The cost of treating is only ten cents per bushel. This practice will no doubt be of value to cotton farmers of the future. R. D. Suber, County Agent. McCormick, S. C. in the Aiken District.
