Tuesday, January 10, FARMERS MEETING SATURDAY ft WAS VERY ENTHUSIASTIC , s jt Farming Program Prepared by the'a Chamber of Commerce Last Septeml>er HigKIy Endorsed U je A very important and enthusiastic i1 meeting resulted from the call of Dr. ^ W. C. Brown and the meeting of the farmers held in the court house on 1 - - - - a Saturday was attended .by a large i ~ number of farmers and business men j 1 of the county. The meeting was call- c ed for the purpose of discussing the v' 'best methods of proceeding under e boll weevil conditions. 0 After Dr. Brown had explained the purpose of the meeting, Mr. T. M. * Mills, county agent, was elected chairman of the meeting. The chairman explained the absolute necessity of j\ ^Kono-inor farmine' methods in order! V ****?-?, *--0 <=? to overcome the boll weevil, showing the practical application of putting new methods in operation could and ^ would be financially successful for the farmers of Newberry county, and ; J* it had been proven to be this last year | ^ to the farmers of Allendale and Beau-i. fort counties. j ^ Mr. 'Mills spoke at some length re-j - - 1 -Li- - -J! M I S garaing tne growing- ui sweet puw* . toes, explaining that the .business men 1 of Newberry had recently built an s up-to-date sweet potato curing house u for the special benefit of the farmers, and as a result of the curing of the r' potatoes, a crate of nice potatoes was ^ on exhibition. Mr. Mills read a telegram he had just received from the South Carolina Sweet Potato associa- c tion, in which they stated that sweet r potatoes were now selling for $1.25 0 and $1.50 per bushel f. o. b. shipDing * - * T\ point. He stated that peanuts were " selling for $60.00 per ton. .Mr. J. M. Kinard, president of the u Commercial *bank. was present and 1 made a very interesting discourse on the banking situation in this section. p We are not in position to give Mr. 11 Kinard's talk in full on account of its great length., but it ^as both interest- ^ ing and instructive and ought to have L been very encouraging to the farmers who have the situation estimated cor- ^ rectly. Mr. Kinard explained that the .banks were going to lend the farmers money, provided the farmer realized and appreciated the econom- *. ic status of the farm from the finan-- , cial point of view, nad made an honest effort to make his farm self-sup- j, porting. Mr. Kinard pointed out that *. the farmer who not diversify ? would find it rather hard to get a loan of money. a r- Mr. Walter Herbert stated that he t was very much interested in the c creamery project which the Ncwber- ^ iy chamber of commece had been try- c ing to get the farmers interested in and would like to see it put in operation in Newberry at the earliest pos- c sible date. ^ Mr. Jas. W. Johnson, president of t the Newberry chamber of commerce r was called on to 'state the status of f ? the creamery project. Mr. Johnson y stated that the organization had made , an earnest effort to get the farmers a interested, but up to the present time very few of them had signified an in- v terest in the matter. Mr. Johnson further stated that investigation show- v ed that a creamery would be a paying r: proposition for the farmers if they c would take hold of it with any degee t of interest. To operate the cream- j ery successfully it would require . cream from six and eight hundred cows. Mr. Johnson explained at lerifrfh ihow pasv we rould p-pt. suitable r .building- by renting it for a creamery, j also elaborating on the practical pos- . sibility of having a cold storage plant in connection with the creamery for ; handling perishable products, also an t export sales department connected with the Sweet Potato association. It ; would be the purpose of this depart- < ment to provide a market for all farm , products regardless of what it would be. At this point the chairman explained that while all talks and suggestions . that had been -made were very good . and interesting:, we were not getting , down to the purpose of the meeting, that of deciding what to do during the year 1922, and that something: should be decided definitely. Dr. Brown also arose and explained the necessity of deciding on some plan and at this point a motion was made, duly seconded and carried that the farming program prepared by the Newberry chamber of commerce be heartilly endorsed with Mr. J. W. Johnson's plan being supplemented. Anotner motion was to the effect that the chamber of commerce supplement -VIr. Jonson's plan to the program and mail a copy to each farmer in the county. Of course, the supplement will include the creamery project. At the conclusion of other talks. Senator Alan Johnstone made a very interesting talk in which he urged the farmers to turn from raising so much cotton and follow the program as outlined by the chamber of commerce. Senator Johnstone pointed out many other sections of the country that had suffered from the boll weevil and had urned to diversification with the result that they were now in much beter condition than before the appearmce of the boll weevil. Senator ohnstone said that he was glad to see hat the program mentioned had been ndorsed and hoped that every fartier in the county would be governed >y it as closely as possible]. The last thing to come at the meetng was a resolution asking the sen tor and representatives to do evervhing possible to lower the taxes. Of ourse, it is understood that they were tot asked to lower them to such an xtent as to handicap schools and ther organizatrcms of necessity. NSPECTING CAMP JACKSON AS SITE FOR SCHOOL # rtajor Ahem Visits Camp for Conference With Colonel Jackson? mei uy ^viuuu^w 'he State, 10th. Maj. George P. Ahern, special repesentative of Col.

Attention of the veterans bureau t*as fr*st drawn to Major Ahern while le was on recruiting duty in Florida vhere he did much for former sol[iers and he was called to the work f the veterans' .bureau. He replied o the summons that if he could realy help the disabled veterans he was eady to work to his fullest capacity. Established School Hp was sent to Camp Sherman, ^hiliohothee, Ohio, where he estabished the veterans' school which has >roven such a great success, and for his if for nothing else, Major A'hern s looked up to as a man who has done hings. That this school has .been a success s demonstrated in recent remarks of Colonel Foiibes, who said though he ixpected success, he was not at all >repared for the enthusiasm with vhich the men took to the proposition '.hen they were placed in me camp md the wonderful work that has been lone as a result of Major Ahern's ic'tivities. Major Ahern was high in the praise >f Colonel Forbes who, 'he said, was ill for the disabled veteran and doing ill in his power to give assistance. This is demonstrated by the fact that t.e chose Major Ahern as his personil representative, and sent him to inspect camps all over the United States o locate possible sites for veterans' raining centers.
