EDGEFIELD, S. C., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21, 1922 JOHNSTON LETTER. "Clean Up Weeli" Observed. Death of Mr. J. S. Park man. Afternoon Pic nic Held. "Clean-up-Week" was observed here during the past week, the move ment being put on by the council, and a prize of $5 was offered for the most attractive back yard. At many of the homes the back yards are just as attractive as the front, with flow ers, shrubbery and shade trees, and the town, in a general way, is a pret ty spot. The movement, though was a good one and such will keep any town an attractive and healthy place. The council went around on a tour of inspection and found it a hard matter in making a decision, for everywhere looked so nice. They are wishing it had been a blue ribbon of fered, so then a blue ribbon could have been tied on every back gate. The times do not ^?rmit of $5 being placed at every gate..

Batesburg, June 19.-The Sum merland Creamery, which has been in operation less than two months, is proving to be just what the farmers of this section needed, according to D. C. Dadger, District Dairy Hus bandman, who reports that the cream ery is' helping to put the farmers on a cash basis-the greatest need per haps of South Carolina farmers to day. The creamery, the establishment of which was promoted by the Ex tension Service, is run in connection with the Batesburg Beverage and Ice Co.. so that the power refrigeration and space were provided without the usual expense of money and time for these things. Beginning with an ini tial churning of only 122 pounds of butter, it is now receiving 1200 to 15000 pounds of cream per week from which are made 600 to 700 pounds of butter. A first class prod uct is being made and there is no trouble in selling it to advantage in Columbia, Augusta, Aiken and Bates burg. In fact, the supply cannot meet the demand. Since the creamery has been in operation, the Manager, Mr. M. P. Hazel, has also put in a milk-feeding station for poultry, which provides a market for all kinds of poultry. The broilers received are placed in bat teries and bed on buttermilk mash for fourteen days and then shipped to Northern markets at a fancy price. During May the creamedy and the poultry market paid to the farmers a little over $1400. Of this amount, the creamery alone paid $760. The farmers in the vicinity of Batesburg are naturally very well pleased, and if it continues to manufacture the quality of butter now being turned out, it will have a splendid growth. Eureka News.

The Women Sh?\ Fourteen Fundamentals for : Successful Dairying. Clemson College, June 19.-Here ; are the dairy farmer's "fourteen j points" which he should know and re- \ gard if he would be successful, ac cording to the dairy specialists of the j college: 1. That cows handled gently give more milk. 2. That cows are creatures of hab it and should be fed and milked at regular intervals. 3. That milkers should not be changed except when absolutely nec essary. 4. That a good milker should milk at le?st eight cows per hour. 5. That one good man can do all the work connected with handling twenty cows and their product, when the product is sold to a nearby creamery. 6. That a good cow has a large stomach, divided into four chambers, and that this stomach must be kept full for best results. 7. That she needs therefore large quantities of rough feed and that this feed must be grown at home. 8. That she should be fed grain ac cording to the amount of milk and butter fat which she is capable of pr educing. 9. That the number of cows kept on the farm is not as important as the quality of cows kept. I.0. That a prepotent purebred bull, from a line of heavy-producing an cestry, is a large per cent of the fu ture herd and will build it up to a profitable basis. II. That a scrub bull, whether grade or purebred, will make himself 100 percent of the future herd by making them all scrubs and will soon put the owner out of business. 12. That good milk cows are well developed heifers. 13. That skimmilk should not be wasted-on scrub bull calves. 14. That milk is an article of food and should be handled accordingly. Notice.

"Uncle Iv" Morgan Writes Interesting Letter. Harlem, Ga., June 6, 1922* \ Dear Old Edgefield Advertiser: I am now entering into my seven ty-ninth year, since the tenth of this month, and with the exception of a short period of my life I have been reading The Advertiser since I was a ten-year-old boy. I notice occasionally the question is asked by some of your correspond ents, "Where is Uncle Iv?" And my answer is, I am still in Georgia, ex-i cept a part of every Friday, the day the paper from Edgefield comes, and for a while my mind is over there, as I read the letters from almost all sections of the county. On last Saturday the 11th nine of my thirteen children now living took dinner with me. Children and grand children in all, twenty-nine, and a birthday cake with seventy eight lit tle red and white candles placed in the center of the table ,and as each, one took their seats at the table they lit a candle and after burning them a while they were blown out. And the thought came to me, yes,, our lives will go out, and the verses of two songs have been ringing in. my ears all this week. One of the verses goes like this: "A few more days shall come, A few more seasons roll, And we will be at rest with those that sleep beneath the tomb." The other song has these words- * "The evening sun is sinking low, A few more days and I must go." Go where? The old body of flesh; to the grave, but where does the ten ant of the body go? Well, 'tis owing to how we have treated this tenant if we have invited the Christ in to keep the tenant (the soul) company, then all is well with the soul. Yes, my soul and your soul. And when death calls us from this world, we have ai} house not made, with . hands eterna^ in the heavens, where ?Christ has gone to' prepare a place for all who will, accept that home. And in closing let me say to the young that the best time to prepare for that home is while young. Why? Well, you can put out a little tree, and with care make it grow up straight, but when the tree grows large it is too late then to straighten it. Don't wait till old age comes on to prepare for eternity. Love to all of old Edgefield from: "UNCLE TV." Kirksey News.
