Some Curious and Interesting
Vines.

Monday morning The Advertiser
was honored by having a call from
Mr.. R. NJ. Derrick, familiarly known
among his friends as 'Uncle" Rufus
Derrick, than whom the county
boasts of no better citizen While
chatting with us :'Uncle" Rufus told
us of some very interesting vines
that have come under his observation
during the past years. He once had a
pumpkin vine that grew to ninety
feet in length and did not bear a
pumpkin. 1t may be said to have
been nothing but lesves." He also
had a watermelon vine that sent out
two long vines, each thirty eight
feet long, with only one melon on
each branch or vine.
Mr.. E. L. Yonce once grew a
gourd vine that bore ITS gourds
about the size of an average water
gourd.
Mr.. John L. Derrick grew water
gourd with handle or neck 80 inch
es in length and he had volunteer
watermelon vine in his yard that pro-
duced eleven melons that would
average TWEEN ty pounds in weight.
Mr.. Henry Jackson had pumpkin
vine that bore nine pumpkins the
size of a water bucket.
Mr.. James Gibson once had seal:
Topped squash to grow on a water
melon vine.
Mr.. James Temples once grew two
gourds as large as half-bushel. He
made half-bushel measure of one
of them and used it on his farm.
The above items are very interest
ing and we can vouch for the truth
of every word, because they came di-
rect to US from 'eUncle" Rufus Der
recb, whose word passes current for
100 per cent everywhere. We didn't
get the information from any of the
candidates.

Civic League Holds August
Session.

The Civic League met in the Ii
brary Monday afternoon, August the
18th, with Mrs. Edwards, president,
presiding.
After the Lords prayer was said
in unison the regular routine work
was dispatched.
The treasurer's report shows a
balance of $4,000, out of which a
bill for fifty new books must be paid.
The new perpetual loose leaf en-
encyclopedia has been received. This
set Of books cast $S2.72, and it is
earnestly hoped the general public
will form the habit of using this
splendid work as reference, there
by compensating the league for the
expenditure.
The cemetery committee reported
their work in creditable condition.
s1O2 of the LOT contributed by pa
irons for this purpose has been spent
and the work must be discontinued
until more funds are raised. Per-
haps there are some who have not
sent their contribution to the chair
man, Miss Ethel DeLoach, who will
yet do so.
The president had a letter read
from a director who made an attrac-
tive offer to stage a juvenile perfor-
nance. Further correspondence was
decided on and it is hoped through
this means to reimburse the depleted
treasury. Further announcement Will
be made on this subject.
It is a source of embarrassment to
the league that no suitable place for
the sessions OF our district confer
sence of Federated clubs has been
found. The need for creditable wo-
mans building is felt more and more
and must eventually lead to the real
ization of this great ideal.
The necessity for immediate new
quarters for the library was demon
strated as, storm coming up, the
room was absolutely flooded. Mrs.
T G. Holland was appointed a COM
nittee of one to attend to this I'M
nortant business at once. New book
cases are very much needed, though
no definite arrangements were
made concerning them.

some confusion has arisen on &C
count Of an error in the minutes as

Every church in the association

may be found at most any bar
in the state-I wish to urge the
Importance Of reelecting Got
ton" Smith on his record.
Impossible for me to enum-
crate in this article one one
hundreth of the things done by
him as our senator for the
whole people, and especially
the farmers and other labor
ing classes. He was once pres
ident of the Cotton Growers
Association and was very ac-
tive in exerting his every eff
fort to increase the price of
cotton. After becoming our
senator he secured the passage
of the cotton futures act, pre-
venting the depression of
prices by the tender of value
less cotton on contracts; CO.
operated in the standardiza-
ton of cotton grades; COM
parison of grades; offered res
olution to ascertain how much
American cotton is needed
abroad and the best methods
of supplying is; secured gov
ernment cotton, reports, and
the census department to fur
nish number of bales of spin
nable and unspinnable cotton
on hand; secured appropria-
ton during the war of a fund
of 20 million of dollars for the
distribution of nitrate of soda
among the farmers at cost,
saving them from $25 to $50
a ton; favored pushing our
cotton goods to every part of
the world; had the embargo
on potash lifted as soon as the
armistice was signed; the erec-
ton of a nitrate plant practi-
cally now complete at Muscle.

whereby the farmer is given
six months time on agricultu-
rallpaper as against 80 days
on commercial paper, thereby
enabling him to have the prop
er credit for holding and mar

passing the Farm Loan Act,
which placed farm lands for
the first time in the history of
this country in a position
where it was possible Tor
farmers to use their land as an

Kentucky Farmers Make Mon.
ey by .Culling Poultry.

|
ey by .Culling Poultry.
Many people are skeptical regard
ing the advisability of culling the
poultry flock during the fall months.
Many more people have never given
attention to the farm poultry flock
and do not realize that it can be
made one of thelmost profitable lines
on the farm.
The poultry culling campaign will
be carried on in Edgefeld county un-
der the Home Demonstration Agent
during the early fall and it is hoped
will bring more people to realize that
the farm flock is much more profit
able than ordinarily realized. 1t is
safe to say that 80 per cent of the
hens on the farm do not produce
enough eggs during the year to paA
for the feed they consume. BY SIM
pie tests which can readily be under
stood by the owner of the flock,
these improbable hens can be elm
mated; the same number of eggs
will be produced and there will be a
material saving in the poultry feed
bill.
The poultry culling campaign in
Kentucky last year proved to be a
great saving to the owners. of farm
poultry. Following is brief report
of the culling work as carried on dur
ing the fall months of 1919 in that
state.
The poultry specialists with the
assistance of the county and Home
Demonstration Agents culled 666
focks of poultry in sc different
counties. They handled 36,247 hens
and culled 11,443 or 31.6 per cent
as being unfit to pass through anoth-
er season of egg production. In this
campaign the average farm flock
was composed of 54.2 chickens of
which 17.2 were unfit. Mrs. T. A.
Poulter of Anchorage, KY, culled
her flock and found it a profitable
piece of work. Her flock consisted of
So Rhode Island Red hens. She Gull
ed 10 fowls on August rs as being
unfit. The previous week from her
entire flock she obtained 92 eggs or
an average of 25.3 per cent. After
culling her flock, the culled hens, 10
in number were placed in pen by
themselves for period of one week.
They laid only one egg during this
time while the birds not culled laid
1O2 eggs or 45.9 per cent.
Last year the culling work as
conducted in Indiana was estimated
as being worth about $500 to the
owner of the average farm flock
when Systematically carried on. The
farm flock of poultry in Indiana is
much larger and therefore, totals
greater value than found in this
State. However, the same principal
applies and the South Carolina far
mer can and should Gull his poultry
this fall. The poultry flock should be
a paying investment to every farm
in the state. This can not be ex-
pected, however, unless proper man.
agement is given. Gull the flock of
hens and keep only those which will
return a profit. For detailed infor-
nation consult your Demonstration
Agents.

A Strong Endorsement or "Py

Messrs. Yonce & Mooney,

Gentlemen:
NV truck caught fire on Main
Street near your garage August 16
and two men from your garage saw
the smoke and flames rising from the
truck and rushed to the rescue, each
carrying "Pyrene" fire extinguishf
er. On reaching the truck they apl
piled the "Pyrene" chemicals and in
less than a minute the fire was alto
gether extinguished. 1 am confident
that the "Pyrene" saves my truck
from destruction by fire and conse-
ouently saved me not less than sou.
I am deeply grateful to you and
YOUR men for the timely and valuable
service rendered.
Yours truly

seven committees in the SEN
ate.
This is only a short review
of the senator's work in the
senate. We have seven men,
bers in the lower and two in
the upper house of congress,
and of the nine members eight
are lawyers, and Senator
Smith is the only farmer
there. l admire lawyers, but do
feel that we ought to keep in
congress the only farmer we
have there. Many of the law
.yers are able and patriotic
but whenever [ think of them,
| am reminded of the picture
in the Blue Back speller
which represents two neigh
boring farmers that had a dis
pute about a COW, and one of
the farmers was holding the
cow by>> the horns, and the
other by the tail, and a lawyer
on each side milking.
Can we afford, with the i'm
portant problems to be solved
in the next congress to send a
new man to the senate, for he
would have to be there for
years, however bright he may
be, before he could have the
experience and influence that
Senator Smith has? Shall we
turn out one that has proved
himself so worthy to make an
experiment? / am a farmer
and feel that he has greatly
benefited me and every other
laboring man in the state.
If there were anything in
the record of Senator Smith
showing that he had not made
an able and conscientious SEN
.ator, these lawyers after him
would certainly have discover
er it, for notice that even a
man at Washington, D. c., is
trying to dictate to our people
of South Carolina who they
shall elect to the senate. One
of his principal objections to
Senator Smith seems to be that
he answered to only about half
of the roll calls since there.
The surprise to me is, that he,
with all his important commit
tee assignments, could answer
to that many, but he certainly
did answer to important roll
CALLS a number of the roll
calls were undoubtedly on non
essential matters.
This man, writing against
Senator Smith from Washing
ton, D. c., seems to be z law
yer, and the failure of all these
lawyers to uncover in Senator
Smiths record in the senate
anything against him., con-
vinces ne that he has made us
a most vigilant sentinel on the
watch tower, and l say to the
business men, farmers, cotton
nil operatives and laborers
Of all classes, let US give Sena-
tor Smith an overwhelming
vote at the ensuing primary,
and show the administration
and other. people at Washing
ton that he has the confidence
of his people, for this will in
crease his power there to work
for us.
Very truly,
T. w. QUARLES.
