USE PM tB ED BO S Inferior Sires a Great Handicap. Clemson College, May .-With thf Increased interest in swine in thi state, there wil be a large demani for breeding animals. On account oi this demand, a number of persons wil: be tempted to use inferior boars ani sews. While It cannot be hoped t< have all of the sows purebred at thii time, yet there Is no excuse for the use of grade or scrub boars. There are sufficient purebred boars. if prop early distributed and properly man aged, to make evesy market hog in the state at least Ilet percent pan Why the Purebred Sire? here ape six goods reasons for ts Me a purebred bear. L Lg and strenger pigs ar, preduced. 1. The pigs grow faster aod mak4 cheaper ains. S. The pigs reach market weighi sooer. 4. The pigs are more uniform. 5. The pigs meet the market de mand, thereby bringing a highei price. 6. Pork production is made more profitable. On account of the increased valu( of the litters produced, any farmel with eight or ten sows could well af ford to keep a purebred boar. Al least, several farmers in a neighbor hood can oo-operate In the purchase sad use of a purebred boar. Througi judicious managemest, a purebred bear for emry twenty-five or thirti sows- is sauffcient. At this time when every advantagq must be taken to realise a proat fre arminag operUens, let no one handi esp himself by using Inferior stoek. JA yar antmals march with thi purebreds." "BETTER SIRUS-SETTER STOC K Livestock Leaks. Prepare to Care for Animals eA Manure. Clemson College, May.-Are yet redy? It Is said that opportuanty knoeks at the door of every man some time during his life., and the questic which you must ask yourself Is, "A= I ready?" Are you ready to ge Ilte the livestock game? Is your land wet fenced? Have you the right sort ei pastares? Do you raise yor own feed or must you buy It? It pays to grind your ax before you start. 11 you plan to go into the livestock buil ess be sure you are ready and then go in to stay. Animals make loads of manure. Are you pepared to save It? The horse -11 pibducs 9 M the ow13 -&A~hia &La- tons, M oq~ andt -"epSoofa ton per yeas Wi you save this manure? Tha best Internatiodstl harvesten in the world for corn and velvet beans are cattle and hogs. The beet inter national manure spreaders .are hogs and cattle. The grandest fertiliser ii al the world Is manure. On the average a ton of baruyar4 manure will contain 10 pounds of nit rogen, 5 pounds of acid, and 10 pounds of potash. It also contains a large amount of organic matter which oul South Carolina soils need and mnusi have. Experimental Results With Manure Did you ever stop to think tha more than half the fertilizing value of manure 'is in ; le liquid manure The Ohio Experiment Station fount out that enough manure was lost b: seepage in twelve months' time, ever where liberal amounts of beddini were used, to pay for concreting th' floor. Ohio and Cornell Stations havy proved that manure exposed in thi barnyard will lose approximately 5' percent of its value. If it Is allowel to heat, the loss runs from 10 to 11 percent greater. t is a comnfon praCtice to han manure to the field and place it ir piles. This is not a good plan. I should be immediately spread ove1 the soil, and the thinner it Is spread the better. A ton of manure thin13 spread will be worth more than one thickly spread. Thirty-five years work at the Pennsylvania Expeimen Station goes to prove that manure Pu on at the rate of 12 tons per acre re turned $3.29 per ton, while manur put en at the rate of 20 tons per acr yielded only $2.29 per ton. Pastures for Pigs. Cemson College. May-We canno make the hog business go in this stat unless we make good use of our graz g season. A pi- in a pen Is Ias> and expensive, while the pig on pas tue is happy, thrifty. and profitable Every experiment sta'4on, every e2 tension department, and every pros perous hog raiser in this country be leves in good pastures (or hogs. What can we. grow in South Caro lia that hogs will pasture? Rape, rye, soybeans, cowpeas, Bermuda, les pedesa, velvet beans and many othel pastures do well in this state. Sup pose we try some of these pasturel and cut our grain ration in two. Will hogs de well on pasture alone No it is best to feed a little graih while the hogs are en the pasture Two or three ears of corn to eaci shote per day will work wonders. The pasture will maintain the animal ant the grain will make gains in weight. An acre of good pasture will re turn 'ren 300 to 600 pounds of pork Forty dollars per acre is not ba4 when the nigs do the work. MRKETINO FARM PRODCUII Co-operative Selling Will Give Grower Large Share of Consumer's Dollar. Clemson College, May 2.-In mar I keting farm products, co-operatively or otherwise, certain things muist be done. Most of these necessary steps are included in the following. C (1) The commodity must be assem- I bled or concentrated. (2) It must be graded and standar- t dised.t (3) Part of the crop must be ware housed or processed. (4) The marketing operation must be Saaaced. (5) Cheap transportation mut be provided. (6) Expert saleemansp mst be breught ino play. (7) 1%e commodity must be retailed or distributed to consumers. The above mentioned steps coming between the growing and the cosum ing of a crop are at present largely conducted by the so-called middlemen. By looking over the list it is seen that the "middlemen" includes the rail roads, bankers, jobbers, retailers, warehousemen, and in the case of some commodities the manufacturers, 3 in addition to speculators. Co-operative marketing by the grow ers, if it accomplishes its object, will effect saving in those steps between the growing and consuming of a com modity where loss or ugnecessary waste now occurs. In other words, a c-coerative marketing association of growers will do those things nece w sary which are not now being done ( efficiently and will leave alone those things which art being done properly. 9 The following principles of coopers tive marketing have been put into ( practice by the California associations I and elsewhere and clearly apply to a the cooperative marketing of any y commodity.e (1) Organisation by commodity or f crop (2) Membersehip limited to growes and to landlords who receive a part t of the crop as rental. (8) Binding erop contracts between e growers and association. (4) Grading of the crop or commod ty and pooling according to grade. (6) The business of the association to be handled by 2perts. (6) Organisation without capital stock and therefore a non-divided paying assoc*tiaS. All profits are paid to growers, thus making the as .sciation purely co-operative. Organizaton- by Commodity. 0 It seems well established that or- b anisation of a ftrmers' association Q by oommodity rather than by localt? Is essential for succesS, An orgsasa .4 l.d% the prpoSO of ng pemmuts b ly unable to cope. with involved in marketing cotton or tobac co. It would not be advisabl to ti to combine the marketing of cotton and peanuts but It would b4 entirely feasible to market several kinds of truck crops through the same organ Iisation because of the similarity of the problems Involved. LImited Membership. Since there~ is no stock and hence no dividends in a purely co-operative as sociation there is no inducement for anyone to join except those having -the commodity to sell. In order that the association might represent pri marily the Interests of growers, mem bership is limited to actual growers' Iand landlords who receive part o~f the crop as rental. The Crop Contract. The crop contract is essential for the reason that it gives the association title to the commodity for purposes of marketing. Without such contract the association could not market the com-! modity because it would have no con Itrol over it. The ~crop contracts createt a basis upon which the association can more readily borrow money for making advances to growers as first payments. Grading and Pooling. When a member of an association Idelivers his crop it is immediately graded and he is given a receipt for the amount of each grade delivered. His product is then mixed in with that of other members and lots of each grade are made up. These lots are called pools. His interest in each pool is represented by the proportion which the product delivered by him to the pool bears to the total amount in that pool. In this way every man re ceives the same price for the same article. Trained and Expert Management. Farmers are too busy with produe ion ever to become expert and efdi cient at handling these seven steps Is marketing. A co-operative marketing association of growers, If large enctegh. may employ the best talent in exia tence to work for the growers In elim inating waste and loss in any one or in all of these steps. Pure Co-eperation Vs. The Stock -Company Plan. Organiatlon without capital on a nom-dividend paying basis is an es aential principle wblch has the follow ag advatages: (a) It makes it una neesay to raise large amounts of capital stock; (b) It is sanctioned by the Sherman Anti-Trust Act; (c) It turns all profits back to the growers,. only operating expenses being de- - ducted Where co-operative marketing asso ciations operate largely rural life is more stable and farming offers a more certain living to those who engage in it by re:ason of the fact that many of the elements~ of chance are removed rom the industry.
