CONGRESSMAN TAYLOR THANKS VOTERS FOR FINE SUPPORT Ex^re-'ce* H : s B' , <‘ v n Appreciation Support Given H ; m In All Of The Counties.—Urges Vote Next Tuesday. Full Advantages Of Crimson Clover (By B. E. G. Prichard, Assistant Extension Agronomist) WHICH IN PART IS AS FOLLOWS: 1. He plain to initiate legislation designed to restore our foreign trade thereby affording markets for our products and giving labor and industry an opportunity to work 52 weeks in a year. 2. He will urge to have the cotton acreage allocated to the states on the basis of farm population, which should increase South Carolina's acreage 300,000 acres or more. 3. He will renew his efforts to have federal government! erect buildings to accommodate all second and third class post offices, including accommodations for other government ac tivities, such as county agents, reforestation office, puhlic health, etc. This will give employment to the unemployed and save the government millions of dollars annually in rents, fie will make further effort to have federal government con struct mH roads traversed by rural routes, authority for this being provided for in the Constitution. This will also give worthwhile employment to the unemployed. 4. He will teintroduce his bill to have the government re imburse the states for tax unlawfully collected on cotton im mediately following the* war between the states. He obtained a favorable report on this bill when in congress and should it be passed it should give South Carolina about $15,000,000., enough to pay our taxes for one year. 5. He will follow his usual practice of spending his time in the district when congress is not in session in order that he may be advised at all times as to the wants and needs of his constituents. 6. He will endeavor to duplicate his efforts, when he aided in a reduction of taxes to the extent of $600,000,000. the first four years of his service in corfgress. Crimson clover is a legume crop that offers to the farmer a means of reducing his fertilizer outlay very materially. It is a crop that if properly handled will add to the soil as much or more nitrogen than eight tens of barnyard manure. It is a crop that will pro duce seed that can be harvested and saved on the farm. Crimson clover offers a means of supple menting the cash income cf the farm and at the same time im proving the fertility of the sol thus increasing the productivity of the crops that follow. Farmers report that corn yields can be doubled and even trebled if planted following crimson clover. By using crimson clover in the rotation, two crops can be .recured in one year. The clover can be turned as a cover crop and plant ed to corn or it is possible to let the clover ripen, harvest the seed and then plant to corn. Another advantage of crimson clover is that it can be planted along with grazing crops and grazed. It can also be planted on Bermuda seds and good growth will be secured. Another advantage of crimson clover is that it is not damaged by disease or insects. Beekeepers will be interested to know that crimson clover honey is very fine. There are any num ber of advantages of this crop. In short, it affords a reduction in fertilizer bills by adding nitro gen to the soil, furnishes addi tional income from the sale of seed, increases yields by furnish ing nitrogen and holding more water in the soil, furnishes winter grazing, and supplies beekeepers with an additional honey crop. (This is the second in a serie: of articles on crimson clover.) tXt State Forest Service Distributes Descrip tions Native Trees (Political Advertisement.) * The State Forest Service ha' compiled brief descriptions of th* more common trees of South Car olina for distribution to students teachers, farmers, timberlam owners and others. The descriptions are divided in to two leaflets. The first leaflet deals with the native conifers am needle leaf trees such as pines cypress, cedar. Juniper and hem locks. The second leaflet des cribes eighteen broad leaf trees which are commonly found in the State. Other sections will be compiled and issued as separate leaflets at a later date. The purpose of the leaflets is to acquaint our citizens with ou? native forest trees in order tha' they may have a keener appre ciation of the value and beauty of individual trees and forests. When this appreciation becomes highly developed in individuals and communities it is reflected in the protection of individual trees and forests from damage by fire and mechanical means. It also results in a better understanding of how trees grow their needs and JOHN C.

Youth, the Magician Those of us who are puffing up the hill cf old age, stopping now and then to get our breath, may not be able to materialize the dreams that have kept us warm from boyhood on. That, however does not prevent us from facing the future cheerfully. We have our eyes on young magicians. The youngsters who are coming along today will make real the ideas that to so many of us seemed so desirable—but impossible. Once when he was a commence ment orator, William Allen White said that about all any com mencement orator can do is look back upon the world as he thinks it was. Then he considers the world as he thinks it is. “Finally,” says Mr. White, “in his receding perspective he dis closes the pictured phantasm which he hopes will be the future. Thereupon, his young listeners may see mirrored in the gloss of his picture the world which they think they will make. It is a pleasant exercise.” Mr. White then told life listen er.s that he came to them out of one dream w'orld that is memory. He said: “You go into a visionary world that is hope. I tell you of the things that I imagine are true in my world.
