' 7~ “Thanks A i ,/*■ j * 9 Clemson, Jan. 1. — Emphasizing quality as well as quantity in wartime farm production, Exten sion Director D. W. Watkins makes these suggestions to South Carolina farmers for 1944. 1. From every standpoint except that of priorities, this is the golden opportunity to mechanize our agriculture. Once mechanized, we would not easily slip back to the old hand-labor, low-living- standard basis. 2. Without generous use of ground limestone and plenty of phosphates and potash, nitro genous fetrilizer, which is now more plentiful and cheaper, might not benefit us much in the long- T;ryr. 1 (KTIES WANTED Wanted to buy Sap Pine, JGum and Oak Cross ties. Will buy ties at any loading point on C. & W. C. Railway. Will also buy ties at your farm or woods* in truck-load lots. Ties must be stacked in convenient loading places.

As manager of the Belk-Luke company store in Augusta, I feel it my personal duty and privilege to express personally to the ♦ore’s thousands of friends and satisfied customers, the company’s full appreciation for t T wo" Wfnl nafrnrage we have enjoved during the year 1943. To say “Thanks A Million*’ is mr*«* npnro ^riate, for during the year pist closed the Au gusta store of the Belk-Luke companv xperienced the unprecedented increase of $1,000,- 000 in sales volume. Thus; breaking all records, and firmly entrenching this establishment in the enviable position of maintaining its unbroken record and reputation as “The Fastest Growing Store in Augusta.” MILLION DOLLAR CELEBRATION SALE * ■ . f • There is an old saying, “Action Speaks Louder Than Words.” And while I can voice the thanks of myself and associates for your loyal support of the store and our merchandising efforts to please one and all, we feel that something more tangible than mere words will better evidence our true appreciation of the mutually satisfactory relations that exist be tween us as buyer and seller. \ Hence, Belk s Million Dollar Celebration Sale, in appreciation of your goodwill, good wishes and good patronage. The values are worth while and mean unusual savings during the entire month of January. Be sure and get your share of the bargains.

Some more families with gar dens and the majority of families with better gardens should be the Victory Garden rule for 1944. 4. The chief hope for decided improvement 4n average yields of corn per acre lies in the develop ment of locally adapted hybrid corns. 5. With sweet potatoes, the new way consists of using the im proved Porto Rican variety with close spacing, early planting, and high-potash fertilizing. 6. Now that mosaic-resistant sugarcane is becoming well dif fused in the Coastal Plains and good varieties of sorghum known for the Piedmont, syrup can be produced for both home use and cash sale. 7. Wheat for home use is becom ing a habit with South Carolina farmers. It is wise to further de velop the habit. 8. Evidence continues to accum ulate in favor of the wide- and narrow-row system of cultivating tobacco developed by extension workers. 9. A rice patch to supoiy home needs on every farm is a practi cal way to help supply whole some food. 10. It is important to get the very best cotton seed possible be cause afer the war quality cotton will hold the world markets k.;g-. est.
