The girls’ and boys’ basket-ball
teams of De la Howe won both
ends of a double-header with Ab
beville in the De la Howe gymna
sium Friday night, January 28.
Although the Abbeville - girls
fought gamely throughout the
game, they were completely out
classed by a fast charging and
sharp-shooting De la Howe team.
De la Howe used its complete
squad and substituted frequently.
The fjnal score of the game was
53 to 7.
The Abbeville boys, playing
their first game this season,
showed remarkable promise of de
veloping into a first-class aggre
gation. The De la Howe boys came
out on the long end of a 31 to 16
score. However, this score does
not indicate the keen competi
tion which existed between the
two teams. The game was excit
ing and the final result was in
doubt until the end of the third
quarter. The Abbeville victories
give the De la Howe girls their
fourth win out of five games and
give the De la Howe boys their
sixth consecutive victory of the
present season.

farmers from McCormick and ad

The Bank
Twenty one McCormick County
farmers have bought 61,500 Kud
zu crov/ns to plant this year and
take advantage of the AAA pay
ment of $6.00 per acre. These
crowns will'plant 121 acres, and
will produce a constant supply of
good, cheap hay for these men
for years to come.
Several of these men, including
J. F. Dunlap, Omerle Bouknight,
J. L. Bracknell, John Wilkie, W.
L. Coker, W. L. White, Ken Dow-
tin, L. C. Talbert, E. C. Cheatham
and Ernest Hanvey, have some
Kudzu now and are increasing
their acreage. Others, including
D. M. Wardlaw, J. W. Morrah,
De la Howe School Farm, C. E.
Wilkie, H. M. Freeland, J. M.
Gibert, J. T. Link, R. H Petti
grew, E. L. Hollingsworth and
Paul R. Brown, are putting out
Kudzu for the first time.
• Besides taking advantage of the
AAA payment and the new plant
ing method which requires little
labor, these men are planning for
a good part of their farm hay
needs from this crop which wiT
allow them to use their annual
hay crop as soil improving.
Kudzu provides excellent grac
ing during the hot, dry summer
months when pastures dry up
and provide little feed. Planting
Kudzu on the steeper land nex .
to the pasture may. be fenc"' 1
with very little trouble and at th"?
same time keep the soil on th i
steeper land from washing dow i
and “sanding” up good pastures.
If you are interested in gettim
some Kudzu started on your
farm, get in touch' with your
county agent or soil conservation
service representative.
