ec S&ion One 00Sckn n Pages Ito 12 Setone VOL. XL MANNING, S. C., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1920 WHAT OUR COUNTY FARMERS ARE DOING Mr. J. U1. Toucliberry of Summertol has built a warehouse in which hi expects to store his cottol) and cottoi seed this year. Clarendon 'hould hav< more of these cotton storage houses for in order to borrow noney on cotton it must be stored in a bonded ware house and the warehouseman's receipt taken to the bank as collateral. Cot ton should always be stored unde1 cover whether the owner expects t< borrow money on it or not for in pasi -years there has been an average lose due to-weather dlamage of $5.00 a bah for the South's whole cotton crop That amount of loss for one yea1 vould have built'quite a lot of ware. houses. The Davis Brothers silo is nov built and last week they filletl. it with corn silage. This silo holds- 57 tom, and will provide their cows with a suc culent ration this winter when there will not be much green pasture to be had. They alsoliave a 65 acre fiel of corn and velvet beans which they , will pasture as soon as the corn is pulled and which will furnish pasture for their herd almost all winter. Ani mals must be well fed if they are to produce a profit for their owners and the Davis Brothers are good reeders Likewisse they are getting results. Go and visit their dairy some time. * Mr. RI H. Belser of Summertor made 30 bushel sof Abruzzi rye pei acre last year. That is a fine yiek and speaks well for Mr. Belser as it fairmer. - He intends to plant Abruz zi rye again this year for pasture as well as grain. Mr. Belser threshed out 100 bushels which he saved for seel and as far as I know he is the only farmer in Clarendon who raises pure bi-ed grain seed -for - market. V{ should have more farmers in this county raising pure corn, oats, rye cowpens, etc. They will find a pretty good market in this county and the -buyers will avoid paying a high freight rate as well as see what they 4 are getting before the'y pay for it. In going around the county this summet- I hotice there are quite a number of farmers who have cut and shocked their corn instead of pulling fodder. The loss in the corn crop due to, the practice of pulling fodder is from 15 per cent to 30 per cent. If the whole stalk is cut at the right time no corn is lost and the whole stalk is saved foi fodder. When a man has a numbe; of cattle and mules it will pay him to get a shredder and shred the whole stalk. Pulling fodder is a losing proposition. The value of 4- the fodder pulled is not as great as just the expense of pulling it, which suggests the idea that perhaps pull ing fodder is just a rorm of aimuse ment which a large number seem to enjoy. Don't forget i.hat fruit tree plant ing time will soon he here. November and December are the hest months to plant fruit trees. Nursery stock is scarce and high priced this year and it will be the man who sends his order in early that will get the trees. Or der from a reliable nursery now but tell them not to ship the tr<'es before November or December. Order froni only reliable nurserymen and when the trees come into bearintg you will not be disIppointed. I will be very glad to aid anyone in purchasing their fruit and v -t trees. . On next Mom.4y, September 21st. there will be at Manning at the A. C. ),. Depot between the hours of 10:30 A. M. and 4 P. M., the South Carolina Slweet Potato Special "'his special is a car of exhibits in the prl or hand ling, storing, r aCI prep~aration of swee(t potatoes for die market. Tlhese ex hibits will be0 shown andl explained by the Horticultural and Marketing Divisions of the Extension Service of Clemson and the Agricultural Agents of four southern railroads. All inter g:sted in swveet potatoes should attend)( andl learn to save and Ifl-epare sweet intat o's f'or the market. Sinc'e we have the boll1 weevil wvith 'us sweet potatoes if pr1operly cured and hamgled will prove to be a gtod cash crop. Visit this Sweet Potato Special and learn howv to prepa:re potatoes for' market. A. M. Musser, C~oun ty Agent.

ADDITIONAL LOCALS On6of the most enjoyable parties of the seasoh v4its: the late Civic Tea given by Mrs. Marion Williams;. at her home, last Wednesday afternoon.

Breedin. Mrs. S. Patrick and Mrs. J. E. A , t. Last week we ,.sked what had be come of the town road scraper, and the next morning it was pllced on the street on which we live. This was done we presume to suiow us where this ornament was. We say ornament' for it is used so seldom that we think it a fitting nam' for it. This thing was hauled up and parked on the pub lie street last Thursday. It has been there ever since but not used. Since asking this one question, it has been the source (.f getting it pulled out from the weeds that were about to choke it. \Ve will now ask, what has become of the man that.is supposed to operate it? ' May be this will bring iin up to spend a week or the street by his mach-ine. We will look carefully tomorrow and see! if re is there. One question is just as important as the other. The machine can't work with out the.man, nor can the man scrape the road without the machine. M1lay be,-it is to be done on the installment plan, and the first installment has heen illde, now for the second. RE) CROSS NOTES Hefore a large and interested ku dience Dr. T. J. Davis gave a talk on tuberculosis in Summerton last night. Lantern slides were used to issustrate the talk. Di. Davis stressed the fact that we need to become active in the campaign for better health, sayitIg that it -is much easier to get a crowd of men out to disouss the boll weevil or methods of improving stock than it is to interest them in growing heal thy citizen. He then spoke of the prevention and cure of tuberculosis, handling the subject in the way that the audience of laymen could get the greatest good from it. On last Tuesday evening Miss Ruth Moore Spoke to an audience of colored people at the Paxville Colored Baptist church. The achurch was crowded and the 'ieUn(lCk- ('eeplV initer'el'sted in Miss. loore's tIa.
