The 1944 Maid of Cotton, beautiful Linwood Gisclard, models
four hats from her all-cotton wardrobe in the above pictures from
the Millinery Fashion Bureau of New York City. Florence Reich-
man designed the smart little split brim sailor of red and white
check ifingham at the upper left. It is dressed up with »hiny black
sequin-embroidered motifs and a wide black satin ribbon, which is
caught beneath the hair.
Upper right shows the flattering quality of cotton lace in this
quaint little Dutch bonnet, designed by Laddie Northridge. Cut
outs of lace across the top, and black velvet bows and binding,
add to its attractiveness.
At the lower left is the newest version of the sailor beret which
John-Frederics created from black and white check gingham, ac
cented with a bright pink rose. The wide cuff of the matching
pull-on glove malches the rose.
The new little bonnet- cloche in stylized chambray is shown at
the lower right. It*s the latest version, designed by Annas*, in
bright yellow and red plaid, with two crisp bows tacked on the
back of the crown.

HEGARIA AND SORGHUM SEED
ARE PLENTIFUL
(By P. B. Ezell, County Agent)
Any farmer who cannot get suf
ficient legume hay seed or does not
have sufficient silage capacity is
advised to plant sorg'hum or higeria,
as seed of these are not scarce, says
County Agent Paul B. Ezell. These
can be shocked in the field and can
be fed long or after running through
a mill or chopper.
Sorg'hum, sown with or without
peas or velvet beans, makes a heavy
yield of fair roughage. Also sudan
grass and Johnson grass, cut when
12 to 16 inches high, make gooa
roughage.
Because silage can be made from
such a great variety of crops, this
source of food will have a peculiar
adaptation during these times, the
county agent declares. It should be
remembered that under average
South Carolina conditions, the sor
ghums make greater tonnages per
acre than does corn. It will be wise,
therefore, to make even wider use
of sorghum in all cases where there
may be amy 'doubt about making
heavy tonnage yields from com.
It should always be kept in mind
that the addition of a legume such
as soybeans to either com or sor
ghum raises the general feeding
quality of the silage. But the scarc
ity of soy bean seed may make it
more advisable to use available soy
bean seed in the production of hay
and use straight sorghum or com for
silage.
One virtue of the silo is its use in
preserving many green crops that
might otherwise go to waste, such as
Johnson grass, excessive growth of
pasture grasses, any hay crop that
is difficult to save because of rain,
small grain, or surplus growth of
annual grazing crops, such as small
grains, Sudan grass, or Pearl mil
let.

AAA INDUCEMENTS FOR
MAKING GOOD PASTURES
Darlington, Apr. 8—J. M. Napier,
Clemson extension-AAA agent, re
minds farmers that the Agricultural
Adjustment Agency will reimburse
farmers for a large .part of the cost
of establishing and caring for all
the pastures that they can handle
properly, provided they meet certain
good-practice requirements to insure
success.
The five “unlimited” pasture prac
tices covering this encouragement for
making good pastures are:
Practice No. 15—Establishing pas
tures by seeding adapted pasture le
gumes or pasture grasses or icseed-
ing established pastures. Payments
to be made when sed is planted are
based on appropriate values of the
seed.
Practice No. 16—Establishing a
stand of Bermuda grass by sodding
or sprigging—$6.00 per acre.
Practice No. 17—^Clearing, cleaning
up, and preparing for the establish
ment of permanent pasture—$5.00
per acre.
Practice No. 18—Renovation of
perennial legumes and grasses (ex
cluding Johnson grass)—75 cents per
acre.
Practice No. 19—Mowing perma
nent pastures infested with noxious
weeds and other undesirable compet
ing plants o rshrubs—$1.00 per acre.
“In each of the above practices,
farmer smust meet certain specifi
cations before payment will be
made,” Mr. Napier says. “On the
whole the specifications involve the
steps necessary to insure good re
sults. For detailed specifications
farmers should consult their county
agents, AAA committeemen, or coun
ty AAA officers.”
COTTON CONTEST BE HELD
AGAIN IN 1944
Clemson, April 8—The state five-
acre cotton improvement contest will
be sponsored again in 1944 by the
Cotton Manufacturers’ Association
of South Carolina, Extension Director
D. W. Watkins announces.
The Cotton Manufacturers’ Asso
ciation has notified Director Watkins
1 that a contribution of $2,000 has been
; made by the Association to furnish
! funds for prize money. This organi-
i zation hfis provided the prize money
| funds for 15 years, and expresses
i its pleasure in having a part in the
; god work, which was sponsored in its
! first year, 1920, by the State Pub-
jlishing Company, Columbia.
For a number of years the prizes
have been $750 for the first state
prize, $275 for second state prize;
$200 each for three district first
prizes, and $125 each for three dis- i
trict second prizes.
During the 16 years in which the
cotton contest has been held, about
12,000 farmers have entered the com
petition, have reaped the benefits de
rived from the required use of better
seed and the improved practices, and
have helped to spread these benefits
among other farmers.
So, as the extension agronomists
who conduct the contest express it,
Everybody wins in this contest; not
just those who get cash prizes, but
all other contestants, ail other cotton
growers, end the cotton manufactur
ers. I is ho; d, therefore, that again
this year many cottpn growers of the
state will enter the contest.

The Spring meeting of the County
Council of Farm Women will be held
at the Court House on Saturday, Ap
ril 22nd at ^0:45 a. m. The theme of
the program will be “Ycuth on The
Home Front.” Two 4-H club girls,
Lorraine Counts of O’Neal and Alice
Beth Gunter of Pomaria will give a
demonstration followed by a talk by
Mrs. Harriet F. Johnson, State Girls
4-H leader.
Dr. J. W. Carson will bring a mes
sage to the Council members. Trin
ity and Silverstreet clubs will be
hostesses. All members are urged
to be present for this meeting.
Your attention is again called to
the fact that our former treasurer
has moved away and all dues and fi
nance reports should be made to Mrs.
R. H. Amick, Prosperity. All club
menulrers are requested to send their
dues to their respective treasurers at
once so that a complete report can
be given at the Council meeting.
We have had bad news about the
“Old Dutch” bean. It seems that the
crop was a failure and only a few
-seed will be available and these in
small lots.
It is our intention to help you in
every way possible. We have new
books in fighting insects and expect
to have on hand a supply of roten-
one.
It is time to be making plans about
potato plants. This is a crop we
cannot neglect. If you have not
made your plans do so at once.
Plants are scarce and hard to get.
The Clubs were very active in
heeding the call of the Red Cross—
ten contributed five dollars eaich—
contributions are still coming for
blood plasma. Mt. Pleasant has set
$5 a month as a goal for this worthy
cause. The members have sold two
quilts which they made through the
club. Stony Hill club has reported 71
pounds of grease sent in. Bush Riv
er 4-H club contributed $5 to tiie
Red Cross and Johnstone club S2.
The 4-H council has sent $5 for the
blood plasma fund. All of these are
worthy causes and should receive our
sympathetic attention.
Did you know that beets like !
sweet soil ? This fact may make you ,
want to apply lime before planting.
One cf the good things about beets
is that there is no waste at all.
Thinnings can be eaten and when
eaten fresh from the garden only
spinach can match beet tops in vit
amin content. Sow beet seed early
and continue with successive plant
ings until hot weather.

grade improvement campaign than
the program conducted jointly by
the National Cotton Council and
the War Food Administration in
1943 have been laid in conferences
between Council representatives
and WFA officials. An even larger
percentage of high grade cotton
will be sought in this year’s pro
gram. It ii pointed out that higher
grades not only help meet war
^demands, but also bring the farmer
premium prices.
Study OPA Ceilings
Memphis, Tenn. — A compre
hensive study of cotton textile ceil
ings is being made by the National
.Cotton Council with a view of de
termining whether or not these
prices should be adjusted. Council
representatives have held a series
of conferences on the subject with
representatives of the producers
and manufacturers, and with OPA
officials. If the study reveals that
current textile ceilings are not re
flecting parity prices to cotton
farmers, an effort will be made
to secure proper adjustments by
OPA.

CMAIK TAiJC
... with a Southern Accent!
J UST a few quick scrawls with a piece of chalk on
the side of a Southern Railway freight car. But
their meaning is already clear on the world's battle
fronts.
They mean carloads of crops are on the move...
fighting food from fertile Southern fields.
They mean vital weapons of war are rolling.. .tanks
and guns, jeeps and planes...fashioned in the South
from Southern raw materials.
They mean that the Southern Railway is delivering
the goods.. .the thousand and one Southern products
that are contributing to America’s Victory.
In “delivering the goods” in wartime, we are learn
ing how to do our transportation job more efficiently
than ever before; how better to serve a postwar South
of new products, new industries, new skills.. .a land of
prosperity and plenty, bursting with new oppor- .
tunities for all.
This is the Southland that men of faith and vision
see in the brighter days that lie ahead. This is the high
promise of tomorrow...a promise that “chalk talk...
with a Southern accent” is helping to fulfill.
