Your Yams Nay Need "Shot In Arm" Says Raper "Your sweet potatoes probab ly need a 'shot in the arm'," said Charlie Raper, Columbus Coun ty Agent. This was the County Agent's deduction after examining several fields of sweet potatoes during the past two weeks . Heavy rainfall during July leached the nitrogen and plants Isj-e turning vellow. They should Igrow for at lekst six' more weeks jif maximum yields are to bt [harvested. ι "Our recommendation at thi I present time is to apply 15 to ;20 pounds of actual nitrogen I per aci e, perferably pellet ixcri !material, as .soon as possible. Be, 'sure that this material is appli-f ed when the leaves are dry,' I said Raper. The best way to do this is to. use granular or pelletized mat-! ferial and broadcast over the field with a cyclone seeder. "Check your field and if your potatoes have a tendency to turn! yellow this "shot in the arm': of 15 to 20 pounds of nitrogenl could mean as much as 50 bush-' els of No. 1 potatoes in Octob-j er." said Raper. neart Attack ratal To John C.

Mrs. Janie Strickland of Route 1, Fair Bluff, said she had just walked out of Harrelson's Pharmacy (the drawings were held in front of the store) and was making her way to the car when she heard her name called. "I didn't have any idea of winning and just came to see who did win the money," she said with a smile. Actually, she came to town to deposit tobacco money at the Waccamaw Bank. "1 know the money was given away to promote the Tabor City tobacco market and I will probably sell the rest of my tobacco here," she commented. She Returned here yesterday from Mullins, S. C. where she sold 1750 pounds averaging $67.50 per hundred. At the time she won the $500 she still had about $1200 in her pocketbook from the tobacco sales made earlier in the day. Thorn wo c r»A λιιλ^λ« U..4. —1 4- * *- — — —— -i-v.'v.vj. vuv »» nuv iuvn tw ao mui her yesterday. While she was in Mullins she slipped and fell bruising her leg. A serious injury could hav· easily prevented her from attending the drawing. How many ticket« does it take to win. Actually, the old saying is "it takes only one to win" but the more tickets in the box the better the chances. How ever, out of the thousands of tickets only 10 had been placed in the ·. χ by Mrs. St-ick'and. "I got five from Dameron Drugs, thre* from Baker's Super. Market one from Ruey's and one from Sc hi Id's. These were all the tickets I had in there," she said. It was one of the tickets she got from Baker's Super Market that tlid the trick. When asked what she was going to do with the $.700 she commented, "Pay Mr. Nesmith at the bank whaat I owe." She referred to the Waccamaw Bank and Trust Company. Too, she plans to make her payment on the church building. She is a member of the Oak Grove Baptist Church. She was extremely calm when she won the money. "But later I got a little nervous," she laughed. How does a husband feel when his wife wins $500? "He was as unconcerned about it as you are," she remarked. It was the first time in her life she had ever won anything but $500 is a pretty good start in anybody's book. 300 Bushel Yam Club Seeks New County Members County Agent Charlie Raper if uoking for members to sign i«r ν ith Ihe 300 Bushel Sweet Po ato Club.
