Ilame Cultivater
Will Reach Many
Farms This Year
Memphis, Term.—Man r aflaetua'ers
of the new flame cultivator, a key
to the complete mechanization of
American farming, have disclosed
that quantity production will make
the machine available in reasonable
numbers for the 1946 cotton crop.
Demand for flame cultivators is
expected to be great, the National
Cotton Council says, since its suc-
cesiifpl development will eliminate
the laborious tasks of weeding and
chopping cotton by hand.
Price C. McLemore of Montgom
ery, Ala., cotton farmer who in
vented the fiitst flame cultivator,
says he experimented with it be
cause he felt that mechanical cot
ton pickers never would be used on
m;ny farms as long as extensive
hand labor was needed for cotton
hoeing.
Flame cultivators destroy weeds
and grass but do not damage the
tough outer covering of cotton
stalks.

as their guests Sunday Mr. Ben
Sullivan of Columbia and Miss Vir
ginia Sullivan of Bennettsville, uncle
and aunt of Mrs. Copeland. Also,

Demonstration
The late Benjamin Franklin said:
“The taxes are indeed very heavy
but if those lain on by the govern
ment are the only ones we had to
pay 7 , we might the more easily dis
charge them. But we have many
others, and much more grievous to
some of us. We are taxed twice as
much by our Idleness, three times as
much by our pride, and four times
as much by our Folly, and from
these taxes the comiseioners cannot
ease or deliver us by allowing us an
abatement.”
KEEP TRYING: When nothing
seems to help, go and look at a
stonecutter hammering away at his
rock perhaps one-hundred times
without as much as a crack showing
in it. Yet at the 101st blow, it will
split in two, -and I know it was not
that last blow that did it, but all
that had gone before.
Vegetables generally, except Irish
potatoes, do best on soils that are
near nutral, yet most of our soils
are acid, says A. E. Sehilletter,
Clemson extension horticulturist.
Hence his advice to test the gar
den soil and apply lime if necessary
to change acid to near neutral.
Suggesting either ground lime
stone or basic slag for this pur
pose, Mr. Sehilletter advises a ton
of limestone or half that much basic
slag for each 100 square feet of
ground. The slag, he points out,
carries also considerable phosphorus
and traces of minor elements that
the soil may need.
To increase fertility, especially
for fast-growing, tender, succulent
vegetables, nothing is better than a
two-horse wagon load of stable ma
nure for a space 50 by 100 feet. For
late application this manure should
be well decayed before being broad
cast and worked into the soil.
If stable manure is not available,
it ip desirable to broadcast 5
pounds per acre of a complete gar
den fertilizer such as 5-10-5 or 6-8-6
when the beds are made. If the
manure is available, half that much
fertilizer 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 topdressing of nitrogen are
desirable. These made about 10
days apart after the vegetables be
gin to grow will stimulate growth.
Tomato varieties best suited to
South Carolina growing conditions
are being tested each year at the
Truck Experiment station near
Charleston, Superintendent W. C.
Barnes and J. M. Jenkins, Jr., as
sistant horticulturist, report that
Marglobe, the variety most common
grown in the state, consistently
proves to be one of the best in trials
at the station.
The Pritchard variety also gives
good yields The stokesdale, a com
paratively new variety yield attrac
tive fruit as early as the Pritchard.
The Rutgers, one of the better per
forming varieties is gaining in pop
ularity in the state.
The Pan America tomato is new
to South Carolina and is reported
to be more wiltresistant than any
of the more commenly grown varie
ties. The 19 l 42 trials with the Pan
America at the Truck Experiment
Station indicated that this tomato
may be too late for the commercial
crop in the coastal area of the state.
BACK AT WORK AGAIN
When Marines arrived in Tientsin,
one of the first Chinese to meet
them was Wong Shang Kte, a house-
boy who claimed he had worked for
Marines since 1940. And to prove it
he pulled a frayed, worn card from
his pocket.
On the card was his Marine em
ployees’ serial number, 13, and the
signature of two officers who were
here 15 years ago. Now Wong is
back on the job in the “Mei Kud
Ying Pan’’.
IN THE NATIONAL INTEREST
The importance of cotton in the
American economy has never been
more aparent than at those times
when cotton’s future seemed black
est and when cotton farmers gave
serious thought to entering the
competition for livestock and grain
markets.
Today the cotton situation pre
sents brighter aspects than at any
time in history insofar as the rest
of the country is concerned. New
cotton markets, undreamed of a few
short years ago, are fast becoming
realities because of accelerated ac
tivities in exploring the potentiali
ties of the versatile white fiber and
the cottonseed.
Through the National Cotton
Council and other agencies, research
and sound prodotion activities have
been undertaken that are creating
new cotton products and consumer
acceptance for them.
Flameproof cotton insulation ma
terial, stain-and-waterproof plastic
coated cotton fabrics, unspun and
non-woven cotton cloth are new uses
which offer markets to more than a
million bales of cotton a year.
Although the uses mentioned above
are only a starter, they are indica
tive of what can be done with and
for cotton. If through these and
other new uses, the cotton farmer
can find an adequate market for his
cotton, he will cease to constitute a
serious threat to farmers in other
states whose crops he can produce
abundantly and at low costs.
The cotton farmer and the entire
cotton industry should be applauded
and encouraged in their aggressive
program of research and sales pro
motion. The continued success of
this program is of vital national in
terest.

Cotton Contest For
1946 Is Announced
Clemson, April 3.—Director D. W.
Watkins of the Clemson Extension
Service announces that the state
wide 5-acre cotton improvement con
test, with suitable prizes will be
conducted again in 1946.
Since it was started in 1926, much
of its purpose has been accomplish
ed. That was to rebuild confidence
in this crop against the inroads of
the boll weevil and western competi
tion. Higher economical yields of
better quality cotton was the main
approach, and well has it succeeded
in this. Yields in the state have al
most doubled in this time, and the
percentage of inch cotton and long
er has risen from below 40 percent
of the state’s crop to over 93 percent
of it now.
Over 12,000 5-acre fields of cot
ton representing every county have
participated in this contest, and
complete records were kept on how
it was grown, spaced, etc. The
summary of this makes the most im
portant piece of information on
general cotton production that is in
existence. It is published in brief
bulletin form and is available thru.
Clemson of local county agents.
Newberry county farmers have
played an important part in all of
this. The past year Ryan G. Fellers
was first among the contestants in
the county with 5,180 pounds of lint
from his 5 acres, and D. L. Beden-
baugh was second with 4,720 pounds.

Section 8. This' ordinance shall
become effective on May 1, A. D.,
1946.
Done and ratified in Council as
sembled, under the corporate seal

YOUR DOCTOR ORDERS COTTON
To guard and protect each new miracle
wrought by hjs skilled hands and steady nerves
. . . your doctor uses Cotton.
Layers of germ-free absorbent Cotton —soft
folds of white sterilized Cotton gauze —give
soothing protection that helps to heal the wounds
of injured bodies.
In the hospital, the crisp fresh uniform of
your nurse, the daily laundered sheets and pillow
cases, the towels, even the moistened cloth that
cools your fevered brow —all are Cotton.
Because Cotton is the kindest of all fibers to
the human body, and because it can stand the
washing, scrubbing, and boiling to make it fresh
and free of germs — you'll find Cotton wherever
health is at stake. That's why more than
43,7^0,000 pounds of Cotton yearly are made
into medical supplies alone.
