Kinard is seeking re- election as alderman of Ward 5 of the City of Newberry in the coming City Primary elections. The following is his formal state ment: “In announcing my candidacy for re-election as your alderman from Ward 5, to serve over the next two-year period, I am fully aware of the great responsibilities that goes with that important of fice. “I would indeed be ungrate ful if I did not first express my profound appreciation for the op- ■k^fnity I have had to serve S«lBcity of Newberry over the ^^Ksix years. In campaigning |HKrears ago, 1 made just one Bnse to weigh every IKue coming before me and to judge each problem to the best of my ability, with the sole thought in mind of contributing toward and promoting a con structive, progressive, and eco nomical program for our City. “I have carried out this promise to the best of my ability, and the way I have cast my votes on all city matters is a mat ter of public record. During the past six years I have gained much valuable experience in our municipal government, and I feel sure that I can render a higher type service U* the people of Newberry as a direct result of this experience. “When. I took office six years ago, as one of your Councilmen, I was not under obligation to anyone, and since then I have cast my vote on every issue coming before me conscientious ly, honestly, sincerely, and for what I thought was the best in terests of the City of Newberry, and by the City of Newberry, I refer to each and every person residing here. “I am not, nor have I ever been a member of a “ring” or a clique, and if re elected I can ‘ assure the people of this City that I will be free to cast my vote without fear of pressure from “interested parties,” and will always have the best interests of our people and the advancement of our City dictating my manner of voting. I am not being sponsored by any political group, threrefore, if elected, I shall go into all Council meetings with a mind open on all matters pertaining to our City government. At all timee I shall cast my vote as I feel those who put me into office, the RE-CAP YOUR TIRES TODAY! If your fires are fhin NOW Is the time to have them recapped.

Ellerbe Sease In Basement Of Firestone Store people of Newberry in general, would have me vote. -t “I firmly believe that two of the main issues to be brought up in the coming elections will be the continuation of the City Manager form of municipal gov ernment, and the permanent im provement bonds which were sup posed to have been floated some time ago. I will have more to say about these two issues later on. ' If I have made any errors or mistakes during my six years on the local Council, no one appreciates them more than I do, but I assure you that they were made in good faith, and for the best interests of our City of “Friendly Folks.” “My p£st record as an aider- man, I believe, speaks for itself. It is open to all, and is a record of which I am justly proud, and anyone who does not-know me is welcome to investigate my record, and see the facts for himself. “Thanking each and every one of you for your past support, I am again requesting your backing in the approaching primary elec tions. The following original verse expresses the way I would like all civic-minded Newberrians to vote: ‘You know me I know you. What I promise That’s what I’ll do. This is your City This is your town Vote for a man Who won’t let you down.’ Those turning 21 years of age since last election, and have not as yet gotten their registration certificates, have only one day. Labor Day, to get them, accord ing to the state law which makes it mandatory that all registration books remain closed thirty days prior to any election. If you are eligible to vote, be sure to do so.” This Political add was written and paid for by Cecil E. Kinard. In Korea Area With the 7th Inf. Div. in Korea —Pvt. James W.

ELEAZER Clemson Extension information Specialist GOOD SHEEP BROUGHT IN Just recently 330 western ewes and 15 purebred Hampshire rams were brought into South Caro lina for the purpose of starting small herds of good sheep. They were selected out there by a representative of Swift and Company, brought in by the Florence Union Stockyards and Florence Chamber of Commerce, and placed over the state by the Clemson Extension Service. These sheep went to five farms in Florence county, four in Marl boro, three in Dillon, one in Laurens, and one in. Chesterfield. ClemsoR’s Gus Du Rant says: “Additional cars of sheep cam be secured If ordens* are placed) right away. Purebredh Hampshire rams have been priced at 875 and the yearling western ewes at $35 a head. Interested farmers should contact their .county agents about this.” « Sheep all but went out of the picture' In South Carolina in re cent years. There are several reasons for this. Dogs and low prices have largely accounted for it. Well, dogs are still a menace to sheep. But the price situation has changed drastically. Both wool and sheep on the hoof are bringing good prices. And as low as sheep numbers have gone in the nation, it looks like they should be a good bet for a long time. With better pastures, a sheep industry is possible here, the experts think. SORRY FENCE For most things, you want a good strong fence. But not for turkeys, J according to our turkey man, James E. Thaxton. He called to mind one grower who lost 100 turkeys last year when they piled against a strong permanent fence. He suggests fragile fences for turkeys. They will hold ’em, except during the occasional stampede. And at such times it is better for the fence to give way so they won’t trample one another. Then you can get them back up. CROR ACREAGES Feed, fiber, and food reserves are a bit low. Therefore, I understand, increased productions are being planned for 1952. This calls for something like 90 mil lion >acres of corn, 80 million of wheat, 13 million acres of soy beans, and enough cotton for about 16 million bales. And that would figure out close to 30 mil lion acres of cotton. The farmer has many problems. Lack of f labor and machines is among them. But there is one good side to the picture. It seems the world needs just about everything he can grow. And it has not often been that way. On many a year it has been hard to pick out anything that look ed good. Not so now. Apparent ly the world neel&s the stuff, no matter hardly what you grow. And that is the way 1952 looks to those who are skilled in looking ahead. So crank up the mule or tractor. It looks like opportunity ahead. HOPE RETURNS ' In late June I was down in the Pee Dee section, riding with the county agents, to see the tobacco irrigation demonstrations that our Mr. Lynn had put on with Clemson’s portable outfit. It was dry, awfully dry. But the demonstrations were looking good. The morning was hot. Midday saw thunderheads appear. And in the afternoon drenching showers brought their benediction to the parching crops. Moisture for the land and hope to the hearts of the Pee Dee! I went back in a week. And my, how crops had recovered! Moisture is the stuff for abundant harvests. We are supp- plying all else. And here and there I see a farmer or two who is beginning to supply that mois ture too. They not only got stands, but they kept them grow ing through the five to six weeks’ drought of the Jfest spring. Showers eventually came and crops recovered a lot. But the losses from bad stands and TURNER’S It is our privilege to offer a wide selection of famous Keepsake Diamond Engagement and Wedding Rings.

On corn at Clemson it *has paid on three crops out of four. And on one year the difference was over four times as great where watered. . I told you about visiting the H. R. Talmage farm in New York on Long Island. There Cornell has done much of its irrigation experimental work. Mr. Talmage told us that a 15-bushel increase of potatoes justified irrigation, or paid for it. Any increase above that was profit for him. For eight years his average increase was 57 bushels. And the biggest in crease he had gotten on Irish po tatoes was 211 bushels on the dry year I visited his place.
