$40-PRATE SELLIN (1 IN ALLENDALE. Community. Selling; of. Hogs. and Eggs Profitable. Another ilustration of the way in hich South Carolina famers are learning to profit by co-operation comes from Allendale County. Coun ty Agent Robertson in a recent re port calls attention to the successful outcome of his latest shipment of hogs and the successful operation of an egg circle. In regard to his shipment of hogs, e says that the day on which the s were loaded for shipment a lo cal buyer was present and made a bid, which was not accepted. The car was shipped and netted the iar mers who made the shipment 1 ani~u 1-2 cents per pound over the -price offered by the local buyer. The Coun ty agent concludes his repOrt with this significant remark: "In the fu.. ture I do not expect to have any trou ble in getting livestock marketed co operatively." A dozen cars have been shipped ce-operatively from Al lendale County this spring, a fine record for a former all-cotton county. In connection with the home dem ostration agent of Allendale County Mr. Robertson reports als:> the or ganization of an egg circle at Barton. The first shipment was on May 5, when there were ninety dozen eggs brought in for shipment. These were candled by the agents and only a few were found unmarketable. The eggs -etted 27 cents per dozen, though that time eggs were selling in Al lendale, the county seat, at 12 and 1-2 cents per dozen. The organiza tion and operation of this egg cirele is one of the good results of the Barton Community Club. and Coun ty Agent Robertson makes this sig nificant statement in closing his re port: "Our community clubs will soon demonstrate to the people that they are worth while." A CHESTER BOY'S SUCCESS AND INFLUENCE. Clemson College-A good example of the evolution of a club boy into a leader of his community and of the influence of such a young man upon parents and others is found in the case of G. T, Ligon, a Chester Coun ty club boy, who is graduating from club membership into a pure bred hog breeder and general leader in his community. County Agent Sanders reports that young Ligon, though just nine teen years old, is now starting out with three brood sows to raise pure bred pigs to help develop the pure bred swine industry in his county and section. Last year Ligon was in the Chester County pig and corn clubs, and was successful in both. His corn was first in the county club work in 1920 and won second place in the single ear class at the big Pee Dee Corn Showv at Florence. He was beaten in this show only by the man from whom he secured his seed corn. He used all of his 1820 prize money in both phases of the club work from prizes won at the County Fair and at the. State Fair, as well as at the Pee Dee Corn Show, to buy enough wire to fence in about ten acres ~which he is. w in process of making into a hog pasture. Sanders reports that this enthusiastic young gradu ate of club work says that he regrets that he is no longer young enough to stay in club work, but declares his intention to be heard from in the adult classes in the local andl state fairs. Another interesting phase of the lue of thie work of successsful club embers is seen in the county agents report as to the influencee of this young man upon his father in the matter of pure bred hogs. Mr. Lig on, Sr., had about 18 hogs and pigs "the size of a large 'possum" when the first club pig came on .the farm through the county agent's influence. These had practically the same treat ment as the club pig received, but the club pig gained more than a pound a day, while the father's scrub gained hardly any. To make a long -story short, says the county agent, there are now no scrub pigs on the farm, but instead three high bred Virginia sows, and father, mother and son lose no opportunity to tell what club work did for them.

Plans for this army were re cently completed and were announced through the medium of an art poster sent broadcast to schools and post offices. Within the first five days after the distribution of this poster, eleven young "officers" had received thcir "commissions" in the army. Nearly 5,000 have now ealisted, every part of the district being represented. The boys and gi1ls earn their pro motions in accordance -with regula tions explained in the poster announc ing the organization of Uncle Sam's Army of Savers. Their insignia is, conferred, and a formal "commission" is sent by the Savings Division of the United States Treasury Department in this district.

The purchase of four Thrift Stamps en titled him to a Sergeant's button.

The purchaser Qf twenty of the 1921 War Savings Stamps goas the award of a General's button, em blazoned with a star to indicate the rank. DO YOU KNOW THAT If you Invest in one $25 Treas ury Certificate every month -for ten years (average price $20.87%) you will at the end of that time have received back from the Treasury Department O ;00 in cash, and you will have $1,500 more maturity value, payable $300 a year for five yr'ars longer. MORE THAN BILLION HAS BEEN PUT INTO SAVINGS SECURITIES REDEMPTIONS ARE GROWING SMALLER AS WISE INVESTORS RECEIVE INTEREST ON STHEIR MONEY More than one thousand million dollars have been invested in Thrift1 and War Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates by wise and thrifty persons .in this country, ac cording to an official report recently compiled. Of this amount, over $730, 000,000 is, now outstariding, and in-' vestments are steadily increasing. The banner year, of course, was 1918, whenI there was a strong patriotic appeal. Total sales for 1918 were $971,913, 000. During 1919, when the sales cam paign was based on national thrift rather than patriotism, $'165,306,000 was brought Into the Treasury, and in 1920 the total was $43,592,000. Re demptions to date include $378,254,000 of the 1918 series, $33,441,000 of the! 1919 series, $8,080,000 of the 1920 is sues and about $135,000 of the 1921 series. Officials of the savings division, point out that by far the greater pro portion of the redemptions are of the 1918 series, which inaocates that the. more recent issues are being pur chased by individuals who plan to hold, them to maturity. The certificates pay 4 per cent. in-' terest, compounded iuarterly, which is equivalent to approximnately 4%~ per cent. if held for the full five years. Those who present the certificates for redempio:1 rio: to the maturity data receive aboiu: per cent. interest.
