when held upright.

but not equaled to the wrinkled
varieties, which are not so hardy
l.and can::ot be planted or cropped
SO early.
1t is possible With the variety
OF peas now on the market 10 plan
a good succession planting, starting
with Alaska, Surprise, Little Marvel,
Gradus, LaXtonian and Thomas
Laxton.
However, it is better TO depend
upon a successional planting a
week or ten days apart. as the
season may be such as to bring the
cropping OF different peas roo close
together at maturinty if planted at
the same time.
The planting Of peas in double
rows, six inches apart, these double
rows to be three feet apart. is
about right for the more dwarf va
iie1ies, but II the more vigorous
growing dwarfs are to be planted
they Will need nj least four feet

given brush or wire,
The round seeded peas can go
into the ground as soon as it can
be dug, but 1t is best to wait a
week or two for the wrinkled
varieties TO be on the safe SIDE
! The peas should not be planted
this year in the same position that
they occupied last year. Neither
should they be placed in ground
occupied the previous season by
beans for the best results. A gar
dener should study his garden plan
each year with an eye to moving
the peas and beans across the gar
! den. so that they Will not occupy
the same space in succeeding Years.

through the organization in their
state. The same is true Of the
bankers and business men. Nathan
Adams, one of the largest bankers
in that state and in the south. de-
clared in a statement given out last
week that the cooperative market
ing Of cotton was the hope Of the
south.
Qualification al the splendid pro-
gress being made in South Carolina
was expressed by Mr.. Moser. who
expressed the hope that this state
would line up with its sister states
and sell its cotton comparatively,
marketing it in an orderly manner
and not dumping it on the market.
AT the close Of the address by
Mr.. Moser a survey was taken OF
the audience and it was very graft
tying 10 find that the majority OF
all present had already signed the
contracts. A number present eX-
pressed their Willingness TO siSE
MP Immediately, and there were
none present who were eligible to
sign that expressed themselves as
being opposed or unwilling to sign
the contract. The minimum quota
of bales Of cotton has been fixed
for South Carolina at 100000 bales.
All neighboring counties OF the
state are enthusiastic and it is ex-
pected that Sumter is not going to
be very far behind when it comes
to their total number Of subscribed
bales. There were many present
in the audience this morning who
expressed their willingness. TO see
personally as many farmers as pos
sible and interest them in the pro-
position.
Also assisting in this campaign
over the state are: Mr.. Harold c.
Booker, Secretary OF the South
Carolina Marketing Association,
and Mr.. Alfred Scarborough Of the
organization committee. These
workers for. the association left
Sumter for Bishopville where they
held a meeting this afternoon.

in the interest Of aviation and ma
! rine interests.
] In June 1921, the broadcasting
! Of weather information from the
great radio station at Arlington,
Va, was begun. The country was
then divided into 13 zones, and
any radio station of sufficient pow
er can intercept the Information
according TO instructions issued by
the Weather Bureau. copies Of
which are available at the Colum bIa
i office.
The number of zones has been
increased to ii, and includes the
whole OF the Pacific coast region.
The broadcasting service OF fore
casts, warnings, and weather re-
ports Will be rendered from the
San Francisco naval radio station
beginning March Is, 1922. The
morning bulletin Will be broadcast
at noon, Is Meridian time, with a
wave length Of 1850 meters, and
the evening bulletin, at l0:30 p. m.
with 4 wave length of 1908 me-
terS. This information win doubt

Pacific and along the coast or

This service is made possible by
close cooperation bet-"een the Of

weather bureau, and rapid disse-
mination OF upper air observations
made by the weather bureau and
the war and navy departments
Will become effective. As the great

SUMTER HIGH
LOST GAME IN
CHARLESTON

CharieStOnk MarCIi,a 1f.--Sl1le olu
cage game was partly ushered ont
last night with double victory
for Charleston when Bethel defeat
ed the Savannah Juniors 25 to 20,
and the Bantans nearly tripled
Sumter's score, "a to 12~ Both
games were fast and clean and the
speed of all four asgregations: was
noticeable. All players deserve
much credit. and both Savannah
and Sumter should feel proud Of
their teams. Naturally home
folks are proud Of the Charles
ton athletes.
The first game was thriller.
From the start the two teams
matched scores every other minute.
The first half ended 14-i4. The
Methodists came back, boosted by
Coach Morse in the second half,
/ and was the first to open fire at
the ring. Savannah soon regis
tered and took the lead; holding it
until the last two minutes. Bethel
started good follow work and won
/; the game in the last sixty seconds.
Every local lad did well, Sanders
! tailed fifteen points. Moorer, at
guard, rung three from field. Sires,
laTorre and Burns, with Shuler
and Oliver. made up their lack OF
goals by timely shots. Dawson,
/ for the Juniors, scored one-half Of
!, the points for the visitors; Pee
pies, at forward, duplicated the
captains work. The guards and
Gordon, for the Georgia boys, did
Well
The fireworks did not start SO
soon in the second game as was
expected. High school did not get
lunder way except by spurts and
only counted eighteen points in the
first twenty minutes. All the Ban
tams played well. All five regu-
lars, while not exactly right, played
a CLASSY style of ball. The follow
shots were especially good. The
visitors were a scrapy bunch.
They never once stopped their Of
! fensive work and held the Garnet
and Gold squad down by much
aggressive work. Wright did best
for the Sumter boys. Wright is
ia good player and, although hurt
early in the second half. remained
in the game until he had to retire.
He made eight of the twelve
points The balance Of the team
played we'll ana put up stiff oppo-
sition against far superior team.
The large crowd enjoyed the
games and in spite Of the bad
weather the fans came out to see
the Bantam and Bethel aggrega-
tons.
