HOW TO EMBARK UPON LIVESTOCK RAISING fSome Advice to the Farmer Who Would Begin Breeding of Oattle and Swine For Market. Clemson College, Aug. 12?IMany requests for information have come to Clemson college recently from farmers who wish to enter the livestock busi I^ess on a more coniderable scale than iter before.

Forest Service Says Ignorance of Woodlot Owners Often Costs Them Dearly. v j I Washington, Aug. 9.?The marketing of farm timber presents some of ti.e same difficulties, but in an aggravated form, that the farmer meets in selling other crops, says a forest service contribution to the Year Book of the Deartpment of Agriculture, just issued. The farmer finds it hard to get enough for his timber. Most farmers now sell their sawT timber on the stump to a mill man, such sales ordinarily being made for a lump sum. The mill man, experienced in estimating, goes through the woods and sizes up to the quality and value of the timber he wants. The owner, being a farmer and not a lumberman, seldom knows anything about estimating timber and has only C:e vaguest idea of what it ought to bring. The conse quence of tins condition is tnat ine farmer often -receives only a small fraction of the actual market value of his stumpage. Astonishing examples of wf;at a farmer may thus throw away are often encountered by foresters', continues the article. For instance, a Massaformer cnlrl a million ffiPt of Vii UOV/l VO iui uivi uviu wv ? - timber to a portable sawmill for $1,200, and thought he had obtained a good price. His neighbor, fiowever, who knew something about timber, got $7,000 for the same quantity of white pine from the ivery same portable mill man. The first farmer, on account of f';is ignorance, practically presented the mill man with $5,800; the second owner was wise euwug-j iu icam before he attempted to sell his timber how much he had and what it ought to bring him in money. The productive capacity of the 200 million acres of farm lands throughout the country which either have or should have timber growing on them is enormous, say the article. This area is lareer than all t)':e national forests puts together, and with an annual growth of 200 board feet per ace of saw timber?a moderate allowance under the practice of forestry?it would produce annually about 40 bil lion feet, or the equivalent of the entire lumber cut of the country, in addition to not less than 120 million cords of firewood. These figures, continues the article, probably never will be realized, for fl:e reason that the present area of farm woodlands is much greater than if will ho ovontnnllv F"r>r pvamnlp woodland comprises 31 per cent of the entire farm area of the South, and undoubtedly much of this land will be put to other uses than timber growing. Nevertheless, the farmers of tJ:e United States now own at least 250 billion feet of saw timber and 113 billion cords of cordwood, and this timber should produce a substantial part of their incomes. Farmers ought to make the most of their timber, and the public should be interested in this question for tf'-e reason that the vast aggregate of farm timber should be available to supplement the other sources of the general supply. would result from this and it would be throwing away money to invest in QpoiicfnmpH frn ffivnrahlp OtWil UVVUWVV/?^V4 | environments and then to subject them to tTe conditions referred to. If you are rid of ticks and will fence In certain lands and get goo-d pastures, you will be in a position to raise some good beef cattl-e. The breed I would suggest under such conditions is the Hereford. "Regarding hogs, of course, you realize that suitable forage crops as well ias some grain is essential for success.

Serious Injury to Corn Crop From This Southern Farm Practice. Clemson College, Aug. 12.?One of ti e most costly mistakes of Southern farmers is fodder-pulling. Pulling fod der not only reduces the yield of corn, but also seriously injures the vitality of the seed for the following year. Experiments conducted in South Carolina on the Coker farm in Darlington county, proved that wnen fodder was pulLed when the bottom leaves began to turn, there was a loss of at least 24 per cent in the yield of corn. T f rmllo/9 nrbAn thrpp-fniirtn?: of the leaves were dry, the decrease in yied was about 10 per cent. 'But this is not tne only loss from fodder-pulling. Pulling fodder has a serious effect upon the next year's crop by lowering the vitality of the seed produced on stalks from wtich fodder is pulled. (By pulling fodder, therefore, a man not only loses on his rnrront Arn.n Hut alsn damages his chances of producing a good crop the following year. A good authority on the subject advises that if a farmer feels he must pull fodder, he.should leave at least two or three acres of Lis crop unpulled and from this select his seed corn In this way he can keep up the quality of his seed and not suffer the second loss from fodder-pulling, t)':at comes through planting inferior seed. "SOW OATS AND WHEAT" (WILL .AGAIN BE ABVICE Clemson's Extension Forces Preparing * ci -*** ; 2. * to irge sowius 01 wiuwjr Grain Again. C-lemson College, Aug. 12.?"Sow oats and wheat" will once more be the advice urged upon t):e farmers of South Carolina for their fall practice. On the theory that general conditions this fall will be very similar to those of last fan, especially insofar as neea \ for economizing and for diversification is concerned, the extension forces of Clemson college will devote themselves, as last year, to urging the sowing of the winter grain crops. -II e extension division "is issuing x ^ ~ V?/\ V*n+A/1 I WO pusitrrs vviiicu wui utr uisun/uicu about the State. One poster gives advice for the seeding of oats and wheat. The other urges farmers to take "The Seccnd Step?Livestock." These posters will be placed conspicuously. This will be the first act of tt:e fall campaign. Clemson College urges farmers to \ sow large areas to oats this fall. To this adivice is added the warning that farmers should get their oats in the ground early and not wait until late, as so many did last year. The seeding of oats should begin about the end of September. Farmers are aavisea 10 sow enougu wheat for home consumption. The State has every reason to feel satisfied with the wheat experiment of last fall. Today there are probably more flour mills in South Carolina than ever before and the railroads i:ave granted very favorable shipping rates. South Carolina is now in a position to raise enough wheat for her own bread and this is what should be done. TVio will also ur.ee imon farmers tile importance of giving close attention to fall and winter gardens i and to poultry. Tl'/.ese things are money-savers that are possible to pvp-rv farmer. Although conditions are enough like those of last year to warrant advising the same farm practice, the general agricultural situation is expected to be far brighter this fall and it is not lib-olir thoro will ho nnvtfrino" like the demoralization and discouragement of 1914. Economy has been the watchword on South Carolina farms this year and farmers will benefit accordingly. When a man is a man he is useful to otlier men. Otherwise he is just a carcass.
