Bowers, state war bond admini strator, be carried out in this county, such bonuses as may be given employes by concerns or in dividual employers will be in the form of war bonds. In a statement this week, Ad ministrator Bowers urged *9,11 em ployers who may be giving year- end, pre-Christmas bonuses, to give these bonuses* dr, exlara $ay, in war bonds. v • ' “This gyould not only immedi ately help in financing of the war,” Mr. Bowers • said, “but it would be calculated to bring into our great army of bond buyers men and women who had not previously been buying. For them to receive their first bond un doubtedly would serve to give them the idea. All, of course, are famil iar with the program, but all xperienced the “feel” of a'fflfcct in their hands, and hayermetryet thus realized, in a tangible way, the satisfaction not only* of aiding the war effort, but of having as their own a gov ernment security representing an investment in their own future.” The administrator pointed out that in many businesses in South Carolina this year profits have been large, and as a result many bonuses will be given. It is this, he said, that actuated him in sug gesting that these bonuses be given in the form of war bonds. Mr. Bowers said that any bank would advise employers on a pro cedure for giving the bonuses in the form of bonds. “I hope all employers who are going to give bonuses will take ad vantage of this opportunity not only to help in the orderly finan cing of the war, but of the op portunity to encourage future buy ing by their employes,” the ad ministrator said. Auditor’s Notice 1943 Molases To Cure Pork Without Sugar Columbia, Dec. 14.—Since few farm homes will have sufficient sugar under the present sugar ra tioning plan to spare much for curing meat, it will be necessary either to substitute molasses in the curing mixture or to apply it to the face of the meat after the curing process has been complet ed, says J. R. Hawkins, Clemson extension livestock specialist. The purpose of sugar in the cur ing mixutre is to counteract the drying effect of salt and to give I will be at the different place 5 ; on the dates given below to take* tax returns on all personal proper ty, except the kind that is return ed to the tax commission.

With shortages of meat and lard occuring so frequently that stores are without either of these products a considerable part of the time, it is more important this year than ever for farm families to produce and conserve all the beef and pork which will be need ed to supply the people living there. Home production and con servation of meat saves transpor tation, processing, and storage when facilities are overtaxed, the specialist declares. x West by lands of Napoleon Wide- man and Lucinda Bowick, said tract being known as the home tract.

FRANK MATHSON, Master for McCormick Coun ty, South Carolina. Dec. 15, 1942.—3t. Manure-Saving Program For Spring Planting Advocated South Carolina farmers antici pating fertilizer shortages for 1943 spring crops may prepare now to make the best possible use of their farm manure, County Agent G. W. Bonnette says. Since most of the avoidable losses of farm manure are due to improper handling, four rules for farm operators are suggested. These rules are based on the general principle that it pays to save all the manure, ’ and that air must be kept out if the fer tilizer value is to be kept in. 1. Use bedding material or litter that will not only keep stock clean but will also conserve manure val ues. Good litter should absorb liquids, remain well in place, and not be dusty or excessively coarse. Provide flooring that will save the liquid part of the manure— concrete if possible. 3. Compact the manure to ex clude air. The easiest way to di this is to let the animals tramp it down. 4. See that manure piles, if not covered, are high and narrow and protected on the sides. Access of air inside the pile results in ex cessive heating and loss of organic matter and nitrogen. Fertilizer values of manure, of outstanding importance during wartime, are not its only bene fits. Manure use also adds humm to the soil and improves tilth, water-holding capacity, aeration, temperature relations, and activi ty of micro-organisms. Long time benefits are thus predicted for American farmers who learn from wartime shortages to con serve manure value. For want of legumes fertility was lost; for want of fertility crops were lost; for want of crops profit was lost; for want of prof its success was lost; and all for the want of legumes on the land.
