ADMISSION: Adults, 30 cents; ’Children up to 12, 12 cents; Chil- <iren 12 to 15, 18 cents, including Columbia, Oct. 27. — The State Commission of Forestry is now taking orders for seedlings from landowners in South Carolina. Through the foresight of Sena tor Ray R. Williams of Greenville and the 1945 Legislature, provision was made for supplying up to 5,000 seedlings free to landowners in South Carolina. The only cost in connection with obtaining these seedlings is 50 cents per 1,000 packing and shipping charges. However, even this cost may be eliminated if the landowner is close enough to the Horace L. Tilghman State Forest Nursery at Sbmte£, South Carolina, to stop by and pick up the seedlings. State. Forester Flory announced that he was allocating 80 per cent of the total number of trees pro duced at the Nursery this year to the free seedling distribution pro gram. This will amount to ap proximately 5,000,000 trees and the policy will be “first come, first served”. Naturally, the demands will be ‘much greater than the number of seedlings produced, therefore, it is advisable for land- owners to get in their applications at the earliest possible moment. Application blanks may be ob tained from the District Eoresters at Spartanburg, Newberry, Aiken, Camden, Florence, Walterboro and Kingstree, at the office of the State Commission of Forestry in Columbia, or from any County A- gent or Extension Forester. The shipping season will start on 15 November and the earlier planting is done the better chances are of success. Check, cash or money order for the 50 cents per 1,000 shipping charge must accompany applica tion as no applications will be honored unless this is done. No seedlings will be sold or given a- way for ornamental purposes and the owner must agree to protect the seedlings from fire and from livestock. State Forester Flory stated that provision for free seedling distri bution was made for the present shipping season only, therefore, hereafter no free seedlings may be available. He also stated that due to the extreme shortage of tree seed this year there would be a relatively small production of tree seedlings during the season 1946-1947. MILL SUPPLIES PROIviPT SERVICE S.

Among the grateful endorsers of Retonga are scores of business men and public officials, and a- mong the latest is Mr. Fred Wampler.. well known hardware man in Dayton, Tenn., and Tax Assessor of Rhea County. Mr. Wampler had four sons and a son-in-law in the armed services. Discussing his case he happily stated * “During the past few years I! stayed on the job largely through) will-power alone. My nerves seem ed over-taxed by too much work and some anxiety about my boys in the service. It is a job to raise thirteen children as my wife and I have, and naturally you neglect) your own physical welfare at times. Acid indigestion seemed to get a firm grip on me and so did slug gish elimination. I felt so nervous I could not get proper rest at night. My appetite left me, and down hill I went. 1 mm MR. FRED WAMFLER “The relief Retonga gave me was 1 a life saver, as the saying is. I feel' better and stronger than in years and I get real pleasure out of my work again.

A GOOD 5ALKSA4 WHO WORKS CHEAP newspAPER ADVERTISING Clemson, Oct. 27. — Control of cabbage worms seems one of the promising possibilities in the gar den insect field. Research has been conducted at the Clemson College Truck Experiment Station near Charleston, by W. J. Reid, Jr., a representative of the U£DA Agricultural Research Adjninis- tration. From the release of August 22 by Mr. Reid, “Suggestions regard ing the use of DDT by civilians” the following is quoted: “As a control for all rpecies ?:f caterpillars or ‘worms’ that com monly attack cabbage in the Souths a dust mixture containing USE 2 per cent of DDT with phrophyl- lite, talc, clay, or sulphur, as a carrier is recommended — with precautions. The dust mixture should be applied at the rate of about 20 pounds per acre per ap- plicatiqn. “Sinbe the effect of DDT on the health W man is classed with that of arsenicals and fluorine compounds, DDT should not b: applied when the • leaves of the plant which will be marketed or used as food afe exposed to the application. In the case of cab bage which is to be marketed with a loose leaf or leaves around the head, no applications should be made after the head begins to form, or after the center leaves of the cabbage plant cease to un fold and begin to cup inward. This stage of development takes place, in some varieties at least, 30 days before the cabbage is ready for market. Pyrethum or rotenone dust mixtures are recommended for the control of green cabbage caterpillars after the head begins to form. “General observations - have shown that in areas where the cabbage aphid is a pest, popula tions of these insects may build up rapidly following applications of DDT.” X Will serve Barbecue Hash to the public ev ery Saturday at, ray store.
