c-iCHT THE NEWBERRY SUN Friday, February 25, 1944 Miss Counts Advises On Garden Soils (By Miss Kthtl Counts) Vegetables generally, except Irish potatoes, do best on soils that are near neutral, yet most of our soils are acid, says A. E. Sehilletter, ex tension horticulturist. Hence bis advice to test the garden soil and a,]iply lime if necessary to change acid soil to near neutral. Suggesting either ground limestone or basic slag for this purpose, Mr. Sehilletter advises a ton of lime stone or half that much basic slag per acre for acid soils. That would he 5 pounds of limestone or half that much basic slag for each 100 square feet of ground. The slag, he points out, carries also considerable phos- p.horus and traces of minor elements that the soil may need. To increase fertility, especially for fast-growing, tender, succulent vege tables, nothing is better than a two- horse wagonload of stable manure for a space 50 by 100 feet. For late application this . manure should be well decayed before being broadcast and worked into the sod. If stable manure is not available, it is desirable to broadcast 5 pounds per acre of a camplete garden ferti lizer such as 5-10-5 or 6-8-6 when the beds are made. If the stable ma nure is available, half that much fer tilizer may be sufficient. In this case it should be put in the drill and mixed with the soil before the beds are made. For certain garden crops, such as rapid-growing leafy vegetables, light top-dressings of nitrogen are desir able. These made about 10 days apart after the vegetables begin to grow will stimulate growth. Notice Beginning Wednesday, March 1st, we will close on Wednesday noon and continue through August.

Her bouquet was similar to that of the maid of honor. The bridesmaids were Miss Mar garet Mills of Prosperity, Mrs. Rob ert E.

They wore matching dresses of baby blue taffeta designed with full flared skirts featuring taffeta hearts, a half-heart formed the front neckline and the sleeves were short and puff ed. They carried similar bouquets and wore matching flowers in their hair. Little Donald Elbert Thornton, of Greenville, cousin of the groom, car ried the ring in the heart of a calla lily.

This policy swells the state’s appropria tion, but it should result in corres- iponding decreases in the counties. Some counties have made substantial decreases in their budgets and it should be continued. Most counties depend largely on property taxes for the operation of schools and county government. That is not a desirable pjan because the property tax is too high, even when considering our low low prices the schools fail to receive assessments. In time of bad crops or adequate support. For example, of the ten million dollars—and more— of unpaid taxes probably six million dollars—at least—is uncollected school money. I’m estimating the unpaid taxes very conservatively, I think.

The Barnwell Delegation at once provided (by law) that there should be no more deficits in that county and arranged a millage to put the districts in sound condition. So, it is possible that the schools need the delinquent taxes in order to pay their debts. Why shouldn’t county, school and municipal taxes be paid in install ments?
