Quality Chicks Deserve Good Care
P. H. Gooding, extension poultry-
man from Clemson college, was in the
county on May 17 visiting farmers
who are co-operating with Clem.son in
the Grow Better Chicks project, with
County Agent Cannon.
Occasionally farmers are found who
buy excellent chicks and neglect them
during the growing season. It is u.se-
less to pay a high price for high-grade
chicks, if they are not given good care
during the brooding period. Eggs that
are uniform, of good size and shape,
which were produced by selected birds,
produce the best chicks. But if these
chicks are not given a good ration and
comfortable surroundings in which to
grow, they will not develop into prof
itable birds.
Good equipment, such as a 10x12 ft.
brooder house and reliable coal brood
er stove will, eliminate much of thfe
worry connected with chick raising
and if an all mash ration is used the
feeding is greatly simplified. Get good
chicks and treat them right.
Farmers Week,-'August 5-10
Farmers week will be held at Clem
son college this year, August 5 to 10,

extension service and chairman of the
Farmers week committee. This will be

those of 1927 and 1928. Notables are
being secured for special addresses,

READ THE REPORT ON GRADE AND STAPLE OF
YOUR OWN COTTON AS GIVEN ON PAGE
ONE IN THIS PAPER.
If '^ou want to' see a detailed report come to our 6ffic^ And let us show
it to you. We feel that this report should be a great help to you for two
reasons:
Ist. Because if you are NOT raising the right sort of staple you can
see just what you are raising and try to^better it.
2nd. Because if you ARE raising the right kind of staple you can see
it for yourself and demand a good price for your cotton.
In connection with this report, see what the’ Department of Agricul
ture says about our gin: “Out of the 1633 samples received from your
gin, 13, or less than 1%, were gin cut.” This is a good record.
