Clemson College, JuJly 28.-Pickent county is making h'ay while tile sur shines. In 1920 that miountain count) bought from January 1 to June 1 somt $300,000 tworth of hay. One farmei boughlt a car of hay fromh the WVest paying $180 for the hay andl $600.19 foi the freight on. it. "WVhat's the mattel with uts?" said County Agent T. A Bowen, "we can grow that hay foi less than $180 per car and save all the freight besides." 'rie result of tile county agent't question Put to himself was a hay coni test for 1921, for which 'the Pickent C'hambher of Conmmeree provided $101 Inl prizes. to 9romlote the growing o crimson clover' and oats for hay. 'Som 50 farmers entered the contest, but be cause of dry wveather andl poor standt many dIroppedh out, leaving a dozen t< finish tile r'ace. Only farmers wh< had1 never gr'own clover before could enter the contest. Around 4,000 poundi of clover seedl were bought co-opera tively for the contestaats. The first pr'ize of $50.00 was wvon b) ('1rnee Teeman. Pickens Route 1 a one-horse farmer who made'a little .better than three tons. 'Hp is now growing cane and peas following to see how much provender can be grown in one year on the same land. The second prize, $25.00, was won by Leslie Morgan, Pickens, nwho made two tons of cured hay per acre; -third prize,$16.00, by A. M. Morris, Pickens, 1 1-2 tons of hay with no fertilizer at all; and fourth prize, Sloan Childress, Nasiey, 2.1-2 ton.s consisting largely of oats with very little clover. iThe -contest hns resulted, as County Agent Bowen hlped, in briniging many farmers to realize the economy of growing their own hay, and prepara tions are being made for seeding many acres this fall. The third prize win ner, A. M. Morris, has turned back his prize money to start a fund for the 1922 contest; and the fourth prize winner, Mr. Childress, is buying enough seed to plant live acres on his one horse farm. The county agent hts advise(d his farmers that the hay land will miake a crop of late corn even better tan othe.'!ae, ~provided the stand of clover Colds Cause Grip and Influenza LAXATIVE BROMO QUININE Tablets remove the cause.
