Sumter county farmers expert
mented with last season and found
profitable Mas onions. Several

planted a few acres Of onions, each

The average return per acre was
$3.50. according to figures obtain
ed by County Demonstration Agent

The profitable result of the ex-
pertinent with onions as a money
crop has encouraged those who
planted onions last fall to increase
their acreage and a number OF
their neighbors have decided 10

total acreage to be planted in onions
at Wedgefeld will exceed one hun

THE LEGION
MEETING IN

out Explanation
Was on Program
For Speech Today

New Orleans, Oct. lS.-Having
paraded with eolors flying in their
annual review, voted to continue
the fight for adjusted compensa-
ton, received an. embossed mes
sage from the British Legion sign
ed by the Prince Of Wales and an
ivory gavel from Alaska legion
naires. the election Of officers was
almost solely occupying the atten-
ton OF delegates to the fourth
annual convention of the American
Legion in: session here. -
The election due to be held FRI
day, promises to be one OF the
hardest fought in the history Of the
Iesion's four years existence.
With nine states running favorite
sons and each one claiming suff1-
eient votes to give strength to
their candidates, delegates who at
tended all the national conven-
tions admit they are at sea as to
the final results.
1t was definitely announced by
the. Texas delegation today that the
name of Alvin NJ ousley of their
state, and now chairman Of the
Anericanism commission, will be
formally presented to. the conven-
ton with the state endorsement.
Something Of surprise was
thrown into convention circles late
today when it became known that
Col c. r. Forbes, director of
United States veterans bureau,
who came here upon the invita-
ton of Hanford MacNider. nat
ienal commander Of the American
Legion, and who was scheduled to
address the convention tomorrow
morning upon the work Of his orr
ganization. had suddenly left New
orleans and returned to Washing
ton. Colonel Forbes took with
him his entire staff. He made no
public statement as to the reasons
for his departure nor did he in-
innate whether the action was
taken selely on his own responsi-
bility.
It has been openly charged by
William E. Deegan of New York,
commander of the legion in his
state ard announced candidate for
national commander that Colonel
Forbes had actually come to the
convention by direction Of Presi-
dent Harding in an effort to pro-
cure. the selection of a man for
national comma nder who would
maintain lukewarm attitude to-
ward proposed national lesisla-
ton for a soldier bonus.
