Kiwanis International has adopt ed as its slogan, so to speak, "a. square deal for the underprivileged ! ohild;" in other words to help thei child who^s not born to conditions! in life as advantageous as are the, more fortunate children into a state | where they can grow to womanhood' and manhood soun# in body and i sound in mentality and morality. Most of the Kiwanis clubs adopt -some piece of charity or public; work as its main objective and; strive continually toward its chos- j en end until it is attained. In keep-j ing with this policy the Sumter: Kiwanis club has undertaken as its main objective the accumulation oi; a fund of $5,000 to be invested, j the income from which is to go to1 , the Civic League's nurse fund for i the purchase of milk for needy chil-< ,dren. It is not planned to have a drive nor to take up subscriptions nor to soiicit for the money needed, but tol earn the amount by entertainments.; athletic contests and in various ways as suggest themselves from time to time to the committee and to the club. To this end the com jnittee has booked a Lyceum at traction and the evening of Decem ber 5th will present the Italian Mountaineers. This troupe will en tertain with delightful music so that those who attend the performance will have the double of satisfaction of feeling that each ticket buyer has helped a worthy cause, and has received his money's worth. The entertainment will be held probably in the high school audi torium, but later announcement of the hour, price and place will be made. In the meanwhile the com mittee asks everyone to fix this "date, December 5th in mind, and to keep it clear. The Sumter County Association of School Trustees met Wednesday in quarterly session. There was a good attendance and the meeting was an interesting one. School finances and other matters of in terest were discussed. The matter of greatest present moment was the fixing of the compulsory school at tendance period. It was decided that the compulsory period should go into effect November 27th and continue for the statutory time of four months. CHECKS FOR TOBACCO FARMERS Cooperative Market ing Association Makes Second Pay ment to Members Florence. Nov. 13.?Thousands of South Carolina tobacco grow ers are smiling today. Many bank ers and merchants are happy too. Members of the tobacco growers* cooperative association are cashing" checks at forty markets which they received as their second pay ment on tobacco delivered to their own association. Oliver J. Sands,' executive man-: ager of the big cooperative ad dressed enthusiastic meetings at Kingstree and Florence today ! while Treasurer Craig talked to crowds at Fairmont and Dillon. In introducing Mr. Sands, here, Director T. B. Young, referred to an advertisement in today's news- j paper signed Jas? S. Wilson to let the growers know what kind of a man they had turned out to hon or, who as he said "was giving his| services to the association." " At the start of his speech Mr. Sands referred to the' advice given out by enemies of the association | who had told growers in eastern North Carolina to light their cigars j with their participation certificates j and the oft-repeated statement that the association would never make a second payment declar ; ing that cooperative marketing has | [fully, demonstrated itself already, and that^farraers have orga nized a I great selling corporation "and not a holding company. Mr. Sands chal-1 Slenged anyone in the courthouse to deny that cooperative s marketing had already made prices higher this year. He paused a moment at this point but no one in his audience would deny this state ment. "You are selling South Carolina 'tobacco this year for the first time through your own experts, a.corps of men who, as leading tobacco authorities have said, are un equalled in the - United States." Throughout his speech Mr.. Sands was interrupted . by . applause as he recounted all the things the association has accomplish ed in its first year, and stress ed the fact that' he as a banker was interested in co-operative marketing because it would, help everybody in business" as well ais the farmer. "We have three and ? half mil lion, dollars in cash in. Richmond to? be used in the second payment in eastern North Carolina and the old belt and we hope to make an other distribution in South Card^ Una by Christmas." . At Fairmont Treasurer J. H. Craig told a big crowd of members that "pur- organization which the opposition said could not be start ,ed cannot now be stopped." That the association had doubled prices this year in this belt and that the desperate fight made by the oppo sition was because they saw their profits under the auction system going never to. return. He admit ted that mistakes could be made but asked the growers to tell the association about them first, and: said the auction gang had made prices for fifty years, .but that icYou will 'price the crop for^'five years now." Tomorrow Manager Sands will j sp^ak at Mullins and Conway while j Treasurer Craig will address grow- j ers at Coward. 4 ? ? ? Farmers Gaming j < Strength in Union) Union,' Nov? 11.?That Union county is setting a pace which might well be followed by other counties in progressive agriculture is shown by the forward steps being J taken by farmers in that county as i reported by County Agent W. D. Wood, who gives some interesting! facts about soil building, increased j interest in livestock, home orchards, j etc. Illustrating . the value of soil building, Mr. Wo'jd reports the ex perience of M. R. Jeter, of Union, who produced oh a field of corn following crimson clover turned un der 70 bushels per acre with only 200 pounds of 8-3-3 fertilizer, this yield being about seven times the average yield for the county. He po.nts out also the "fact that the value of fertile soil under boll wee vil conditions has been clearly shown on a number of other farms, in that seed germination was better, stands were more uni form, fruiting and maturity were more satisfactory, and therefore cotton yields much better. Regarding livestock and orchard- ! ing the county agent's own words I tell the story most effectively. He | says: Hogs.?The interest in hogs is j growing in this county. A num- I ber of farmers are building new i fences and planting forage crops this fall. Dairying.?One year ago there was only one shipper of cream in this county while at the present I time there are several farmers j shipping cream to nearby cream- ! eries. Marked development along, this line may be expected during | the next twelve months. Orcharding.?Over one hundred i additional home orchards will be j planted this fall, and it' present plans materialize about 150 acres; o? peaches will be set out for( commercial purposes.

Smith, assistant entomologist of the board, and announced Saturday night by Dr. ,Wilmon Newell, director. While expressing confidence that Florida growers of upland cotton by following the new method are assured of at least 90 per cent, of a normal crop, Dr. Newell points out at the outset that Dr. Smith's ex periments were made under Flor ida conditions, and the method evolved is adapted to this state, but there seems to be no reason "on theoretical grounds at least" why the method can not successfully be adapted to all sections of the cotton belt. The substance of. Dr. Smith's plan is to clear the field of wee vil infestation early in June and then give the staple free growth until August when the annual migration of the weevil sets in. The staple has grown, however, to such an extent by this time, that harm from the weevil then is in consequential. In this state, the bulletin points out, the crop is usually "made" by August 15. Dr. Smith recognized in the be ginning of his experiments, that the boll weevil could be effectively poisoned before it reached the "squares' or flower bracts of the plant. His investigation therefore had to do with ridding the plant of the last of the over-wintering weevils which appear later, and de posit their eggs on the squares. His plan evolved meets his obstacle by the simple process of removing the early squares, and then thoroughly disinfecting the "boll itself with poison. His experi ments disproved the belief that re moval of the early squares would lower the cottcn yield. Tn this state, the bulletin con tinues, by removing the squares early in June and cleansing the boll, the plant then has almost'.'as long a period in which to set rruit as it enjoyed in a normal season prior to the'coming of the weevil. "At first thought," the bulletin continues, "it may appear that a considerable amount* of cotton would be destroyed or lost by re moving of the first few squares say an average of about two large squares to the plant . throughout the field." It has been demonstrat ed that the cotton plant normally j sheds about 60 per cent, of its fruit during the growing season. There- i fore a loss of two squares to the i plant, on the average, should not affect th'e yield." Noting that the planter has at tached great importance to these first squares, considering them the substance of his early cotton crop, the bulletin says: "Removal of the early squares in our. experiments was followed/by a remarkable reaction on the part of the plant itself. In all cases, removal of the squares was follow- i ed by a rapid increase in thej height of the plants and this wasi closely followed by a profuse de-' veioi>ment of new squares. So pronounced has been the accelera tion of stimulation of fruiting, that it seems highly probable that even j with no weevils, present removal j of all squares early in June would j actually result in increasing the yield of cotton." Washington, Nov. 13.?Officials of the department of agriculture, j which has been actively fighting the boll weevil for more than 20 i years, are greatly interested in the announcement of the method evolv ed by Dr. George D. Smith, asso ciate entomologist of the Florida state plant board, for controlling the boll weevil, which has caused a loss averaging, it is estimated, $300,000,000 annually during the last four years. Dr. Smith formerly was in the employ of the federal bureau of entomology and spent some. time in the study of the boll weevil while in the federal service. Ef fective work, department officials declare, is being done especially at the federal experiment station in Louisiana. The use of calcium ar senate in dry-dust form in con trolling the boll weevil, the de partment adds, has been gradual ly developed during the last seven years and has proved fairly suc cessful. During the present sea son, according to officials' use of hte dusting method on one 14,000 acre plantation in Mississippi was very effective at a cost of about $4 an acre. Hudson-Richardson. The wedding of Miss Daisy Hud son and Mr. T. C.

League Milk Campaign. For a number of years the Civic League, through its special com mittee, has been doing a very ef fective piece of work In connection with, the milk supply for under nourished children at the public schools. . Through the generosity of several citizens the Civic League has been able to have a fund on hand to provide for the needs of this department of their activities. This plan was institut ed several years ago and has grown steadily each year. When it was seen how beneficial the drinking of milk was* to under-nourished; chil dren, the conclusion was reached that this would be the simplest and most effective means of provid ing a wholesome daily lunch for ajl children.. The result has been that the drinking of milk has be come a ?: fixed custom in our schools and the "benefits are mark ed. The need of funds has increased year by year because the number of children who should have milk j every day and who. are not able to I provide the necessary fund has j steadily increased. Several organ j izations have recently made con | tributions, but still the need is 'great. We should like every child (who needs milk to have it every day. It not only benefits the child physically, but enables him to do the work* of the schools very much more effectively. An under-nour ished child can neither play nor work; an under-nourished child can never be happy. To keep a child well now is to enable him to resist successfully the inroads of disease. What bene fits te individual benefits the whole group. We have frequent ly had visitors to remark upon the healthy appeara*hce of our boys and girls. We believe that the custom that we have established here for the past four or five years is largely responsible for this condition. We should like to i keep every child well and strong, j not only for his own happiness, but for the well-being of all others with whom he daily associates. It takes $1.20 to supply a child with a pint of rich milk every day four weeks. Miss Armida Moses is the chairman of the committee of the Civic League, and she will be glad to receive any contributions that may be made. This is no new experience with us, but one that has been thor oughly tried, and we are sure of its great benefits to the boys and girls of our scools. Cordially submitted, S. H. EDMUNDS, Superintendent. ? ? ? Simons & Mayrant, the contrac tors for the approaches to the Wa teree bridge at Garner's Ferry, are making excellent progress with the work.

THE ROAD TOSHILOH Shiloh Folks Looking to the Chamber of Commerce and the Business Men .of Sum ter For , Their Support in Behalf of More ... Mileage of Hard Roads . Editor Daily Item: Will thank you if you will be kind enough to publish the follow ing in The Item and the Watchman and Southron.' We wish " to say that we've been reading what Mr. Smith, from near the Florence county line, has had to say through your columns, also read report of the permanent road commissioners meeting where Mr. Smith and oth ers of his section were present to inquire into the hard surface road building'program. 'We understand from their report that they do not countenance the resolutions adopt ed by themselves and a large num ber of the professional and busi ness men and others of the city of Sumter at the Chamber of Com merce in Sumter when the Rafting Creek and Shiloh people were con sidering annexing themselves to other counties purely from a stand point of avoiding the payment of heavy taxes to build roads around the city ?f Sumter, believing it most likely that on account of their being in the extreme outside sections of the county that they would'have to bear a heavy bur den of taxation without getting any benefit therefrom. They were in vited to come to Sumter and were promised that the hard surface roads would be built not only into their sections, but through' them and that the* money from the sale of the bonds and otherwise (with few exceptions) would be prorated on the several roads outlined on the building prograni according to the mileage of each road. Now I understand all the satisfaction that the delegation from Shiloh got. from the commissioners at their last meeting was that the resolu tions adopted at the Chamber of Commerce, had been voted down at a subsequent meeting but . they would assure the people of Shiloh a fair deal. We don't believe they dealt fair with the people of Shi loh or Rafting Creek section when they considered the question of abolishing their former resolutions (or if they want to style it, the I peoples' resolutions, the city and the county with the commissioners thrown in) without notifying the people of these sections and let ting them have a look-in, neither do we believe they will be giving them anything like a fair deal if when the money derived from the sale of the bonds is converted into hard roads unless they get considerable more mileage than the other roads on the program. If the commis sioners lived in either of these sec tions and especially in lower Shi loh, they wouldn't think so either. Now, Mr. Editor, we've heard and read quite a- bit and especially just previous to the election, on the bond issue about how anxious the busi ness people of Sumter were to have good roads built to the Shiloh section, going as far as to say that the road into this section should be and they felt sure would be, one of the first roads hard surfaced and that it would be hard surfac ed as far as Shiloh as a drawing card for the'trade from the people of Turbeville. and Olant?, and we take this means of inviting them to lend us their influence, and sup port in behalf of getting a real fair deal in the matter of distribution of the hard surfaced roads of the county, and our idea is that the people of Shiloh township will not be given a fair deal unless at least a mile and* more of the hard surfaced oaid be built in said township. What think ye? It is planned to have a mass meeting of the people of this sec tion at Shiloh school auditorium on Tuesday night, November 21st DOINGS OF THE DUFFS WELL, I GUESS 1 WAS A LITTLE "TOO HASTY M MY CRITICISM - ITXOOKS AS THOUGH THEY'VE &EEM HERE! to discuss this question and to ap point a delegation to confer with the permanent road commission at their next meeting. There will probably be the largest gathering that we've had for quite a long time and we take this means of in viting for the people (because the people have asked me to do this writing and express their views in the matter) any of the people of I Sumter or Sumter county to come I be with us and take part inw our I deliberations. We would thank the ! Sumter Herald to copy. Respectfully, W. W. GREEN. A Body Builder for Pale, Delicate Children, soc Athletic Booth at the Fair. It gives me very great pleasure to announce that Mrs. Abe Wein berg and Mrs. C. L. Wra;>r will have charge of a booth at the Fair for the benefit of the Sumter High School Athletic Association. These ladies have always shown j. great Interest in all of the boys' activities, and the fact that they are going to take charge of this booth will insure its success. These ladies have already had very many offers of assistance and they. will be glad if. all who are interested in our boys will show their inter est hy some practical manifesta tion. They feel that whether one has a boy in tips association or not, he or she will be interested in everything that wholesomely in terests the boys of our community.
