In talking to farmers about substi tuting hogs for cotton, a great num ber think that if the farmers of this country raise more meat than they need that the market will go down and there will be no profit. A number think that Clarendon could supply a great part of this demand and that our production would effect the mar ket. I would like to say that it will take a number of years for South Carolina to produce hogs enough to supply herself. There are hundreds of markets in the United States. I will give a few figures on the Chicago ia rket showing them how big the hog industry is in America. Last year there were received and sold on the Chicago market over 18,000,000 hogs for the sum of $880,093,000.00. A Idaily average of over 1,000 carloads worth about $3,000,000. This is the average anount sold and delivered each business day in the year. The statenent was made last year that if South Carolina ate her own hog meat she would consume every hog inl the State within 45 -days. Suppose our hogs last 65 days, we eat off of west iern states the other 300, and pay them for the meat with 15 cents cotton. They made more money on the meat you ate than you made on the cotton you produced. One little boy can feed the meat that it took you and your family to plow, hoe, pick, gint, sell, and settle for this year. Mr. Farmer, suppose that you go to the hank in January to borrow money. You tell the banker that it will take a big sum as you have .io corn, no hay, io milt etc., and that you will have to ration your hands Ott stuff raised out of the state so you can raise cot tonl for the boll weevil. You can put up all the plea you want but there is no Ioney. Suppose that you can walk in and ask the banker to make you a loan, that you have plenty of meat, corn and general supplies but ieed money to build largeor barns, more hog sheds, fence, ditch, etc. The hank will have to he in bad shape for him to turn you out and not give you the money. I see two dark days ahead of you. First this year. You have raised your crop on high supplies and gettiig not even 'the cost of produe tion for it. You raised a good crop this year. Second next year you begin with no margin. It took all you had to hbr--;k even this year. You hIve io idea when you plant an actre 01' cotton whether you w% -I pick a bale or boll. This year the price next year the weevil. The weevil caring nothiig about the price and if the weevil hits you the price won't dif fer. It will take the sane time and moneyt(' tot produce' that ('(t ton or tath (er the weed . if you cant produ~i~~ ce that ('ttton andt lose that crop and nt get Itur t you hadl bettIcier~ tink be fore planting tat Lot ton.

Breedin, THE C'ASHl AND) CARRtY GROCER "We D~on't Cut Prices We Make Them." Outh Carolina and Iowa, South Caro- V na is a more productive state. We reduce cottcn. Iowa pr6duces hogs. ,nd South Carolina is one of the oorest States in the Union, while swa is the richest. They wear our otton but we eat their meat. - They ave got to wear our cotton but we an eat our own meat and raise it heaper than they do. But to raise hogs economically you ave to get the right seed stuff You re obliged to get improved stoak to ompete. You can't feed bantoms and xpect them to weigh like the Ten essee Rocks. You can't feed a pine ooter and expect it to weigh as a urebred. ' Some say the smaller the og the sweeter, the meat. Adams arly sugar corn is sweater than our egular field corn but we don't get iuch of it. But this is not true with he hogs. i'here are several breeds ny of which will furnish meat sweet nough for Clarendon. The hog that eighs is the hog that pays. You are aying taxes each year to help Clem on College put pure bred live stock i. every farm. Why not help raise als hog so this tax will stop. As con as every farmer carries a pedi ree for every sow the work will be ccomplished. Share in the profit. Buy your son a pure bred sow and ou are beginning to make a farm r out of him. A man then will be a elp to his country and a producer. le will teach you to live at home and ome will be more attractive to him. [e won't be trying to leave to work i some auto shop, but will take more iterest in home and will come nearer using that old mortgage with the old x d sow than with cotton. Give him bale or two of that cotton to put in ogs then you will be getting your rice. Give him a sow for Christmas 0 resent, he will furnish the ham for 1 ext Christmas. Share crop hogs c ith him, think with him, and make .1 progressive farmer out of him. If ou have succeeded with cotton owe othing, and the weevil is not going t ibother you, why get him to follow tl ou. But if you have not follow him. tl he coming South Carolina farmer is " oing to get rich on rai:;ing what you ave always bought-meat. C: We began the hog business here at t: anning for we saw that this was u le coming market for pure bred " ock. We are going to put on our coMd sow sale December 28th at 1 n clock. We would like to have every n rnier in the county at our ring side. si re do not expect our sows 'o bring p fated values but sell wherever one it ill carry 100 per cent profit on her e 'Lck to your hone. We want Claren >n farmers to take hold of this sale id keep every vow at home. You L-ed them more than the other parts a r the country. We are selling 40 mad, about 15 tried sows and 20 fall I :!arlings some weighing around 500 , :)unds at year old and few spring a >ws. Make arrangements to be 1) ith its, and we will try to make the ty a profitable one to you. Eventual- 0 , every progressive farmer in Clar- y td1otn County will own one or tmore v ure bred sow. Don't follow the pro ssion, attend our December 28th a de, and fall in the front ranks.

MEETING AT' BAPTIST CHURCH Since Sunday revival services have been going on at the Manning Baptist church. Dr. W. 0. Corver of the Baptist Seminary at Louisville, Ky., is preaching and Mr. Frank E. McGravy of Laurens is conducting the singing. Dr. Corver preaches the Gospel in a quiet, simple, and convincing man Ier. His expositions of the Scrip ture are clear and illuminating.

Mr. McCravy is leading the con gregational singing with great ae eeptance. ie has a way of getting people to sing before they know it. His junior choir is especially charm ing, and is adding much t) the in terest of the meeting. His los have greatly delighted all who have heard them.
