RIPE OLIVES MAY BE EATEN IN SAFETY ! Washington, Juno 5.?Ripe olives have been restored to favor. It is again safe to eat them. according to government experts. The appetizing delicacy which, by reason of a few instances of imperfect j.?e?:ing, was I.rought into temporary disfavor all over the United States has been of-, licially restored to its p:ace at the| table, and epicures may oreathe a sigh of satisfaction. Incidentally, the bacillus botulinus, that i:ny organi-j zation responsible for the ripe olive's * Vine' undeserved loss 01 pupuian^, been utterly routed and destroyed,' and henceforth must seek other fields Secertury Meredith cf the Department of Agriculture, in making pub lie the result of a thorough investl nation by government chemists of cases of poisoning due to me eating of ripe olives, said the trouble was not due to the container in which' they were packed, but to isolated cases of inadequate sterilization j Tho chemists found, he said that it v:is possible to sterilize completely l oth glass jars and tin cans. To eliminate all possible fuiure trouble j he said, the packers have adopted the department';) recommendation that the olives be subjected to no: less than 240 degrees of heat :o preven; the possibility of danger to ;:ie con ; si'.mer. This increased sterilization ! I it is said, in no way effects the flavor or t!ie edibility of the relish. Ov/I^.r to r-ejiulico, due the publicity given ca?e of poisoning fronv eating rips olives, according to the packers, the ripe olive packing indus ?.y has been practically destroyed ' the demand having fallen off 95 per cei.v. So widespread was this preju ; dice that the consumption of green' olives was similarly reduced, although no fatalities were traced to the use I of them.

BETTER COWS AND BETTER HOGS CAMPAIGN From all reports it seems that there will be a shortage of 34 per cent in the wheat crop this year. This is a serious situation. It should cause the farmer to increase ' his corn crop this year. Just recently I have seen more Western Hay hauled to the farms of Abbeville County than usual. The farmer who deposits most money in the banks during the present price of cotton | is the farmer who first of all produces on his own farm all the food necesary for the family -and feed for his livestock. We don't gain anything by reducing the acreage in ' corn and other feed stuff and in creasing the acreage of cotton, we all know or should know that we ' can produce our corn and pork cheaper that we can buy it. Home grown products are better than that! which we buy. The farmer who be- j lieves he can buy his corn at $2.10 ' per bushel, meat at 30 cents a pound and hay at $50 a ton should ' siudy these products. Why make, cotton merely to exchange for the above products. Cotton should be more of a surplus cash crop than to . v,T.p it, so to speak, for the es- J Fontials of life?food. ;'1 Mr. J. V. Smith of the Arbor-', ville section was forunate in having the first heifer calf dropped sired ; j bv the association bull. He was of- , fered $25 for the calf when it. was . dropped, but he refused the offer. ' If the calf had been sired by a j scrub bull, he might have given it to ] some one.

Another ? farmer says he valued his heifer m calf from an association bull at $75 r* and still another farmer says he might take $100 for his heifer calf ' sired by an asociation bull. This "* ; shows what the members of our bull .J associations think of good stock. In Spartanburg county where a bull association was organized three $ years ago ,the farmers are getting $25 more for their heifer calves g than they did before the association existed. The scrub has no place on 1| the farm today?help us eradicate him. ^ 53 It is my plan to get better hogs in the county. We need some real foundation breeding stock. To this end I am worKing to get a , boar of some breed into every school district in the county. This I will be accomplished through the B pig club members and adults farmers. Just recently I have purchased 25 fine gilts and boars, costing from $30 to $35 each. Of the * 25 hogs purchased there were 19! 1 gilts and six boars, all being pur- , chased there were 19 gilts and six i the boars, all being purchased from the' very best breeders in the South. The Planters Bank of Abbeville' ^ was generous enough to purchase most of the pigs for the club mem- ' bers, giving the boys twelve montns to pay for same. This is helping a' IV worthy cause, because when you' drill into a boy's life the necessity for raising better livestock you ^ make a better and moi;e useful far-1 mer and citizen out of him. The' bovs are the farmers of tomorrow ?<>i \* , 1 and it is up to the parents and busi- ^ ucss men to make better far- nar mors of them than we happen to be bol; ourselves. As the farmer prospers so the town or city men prosper. gjv{ Today when so many of our boys ster are moving to the town we should put forth every effort to counter- a h< act same. *A year hence there will a n 1 1.4km be at least 100 registered pigs of ^ '' SUIT I! ;t *! j iting people ioday. 3 as beautiful and &! 1 Furniture at this ||' re, will stand the ||; will make the home 5 is conscientious, jjj| saving. p cause of the differ- m\ rnish a small home M\ ur values better.
