SOUT CAROLINA BRIGHTER SPOTS B Walter J.. Johnson, in The Dairy Magazine. South Carolina is turning today to dairyink, with the greatest promise oft success that -ever has attend her efforts in this direction. Inmediate and permanent development, on a noteworthy scale, appears certain. Her present progress.may mean, within a reasonable period of time, rich reali zation on her natural resources and' advantages- for engaging in this in. -dustry. [mprof .

BRADFIELD REQULATOR CO. Dept. 20. Atlanta. G. Name................................ St., R. F. D..-....-...................... Town------ .----tate..... day is that, generally speaking, the production is greater than the tlevel .oped market. But it is not sufficient to support a coiverting plant. In undertaking to cope with this situa tion, the Florence Chamber of Comr merce has evolved a plan of contem poraneous development _of. the pro ducing and the manufacturing ends of the industry. Ot'her places, con sidering organizing dairy ventures, have adopted this plan. The South Carolina Extension Service, under the direction of Clemson College, has approved this plan and is co-operating actively with all interests behind it. A creamery plant is being built now in Florence, which is taken as an ex ample of South Carolina because she has actually gone further with her plans than any other place. It will be operated as a concentrating point for manufacture of butter-and for han dling poultry and eggs-that may be produccid within 50 to 150 miles of Florence. The initial-investment in this plant will be $250,000, with pro visions for rapid expansion up to $150,000 investment, or as much larg er as'conditions may then warrant. Foundqtions have been laid for four stories, the first of which is being erected now. Construction is pernia nent type and machinery installation wlil be' by units as they may be re quired. The plant will be ready-the first of the year for operation, with a daily churning capacity of 5,000 lbs. of butter and batteries for feeding 6,000 fowls. In consideration of the plant being located in Florence, the banks of this city have underwritten the develop ment of the production end. They have pledged 10 per cent of their combined capital and surplus, which will. yield nearly $150,000. This money will be available, as loans, for farmers who may need financial as sistance to buy cattle and provide equipment for their proper care and pandling. With this money, or as much of it as may be needed, and ef fort will be made to place 1.000 head of milking dairy cows within a radius of 50 to 75 miles of Florence, in addi tion to the present dairy stock. While a qiiantity of this stock will be pro curable from local breeders ,the great bulk of it will be imported from the best dairy centers of the East and Middle West. This development is planned tenta tively for accomplishment within the period of one year. The present stock of dairy cattle and the 1,000 imported head will form the nucleus of future development in this territory. A sur vey of the dairy cattle in this terri tory is being made by the Extension Service as a basis of determining as nearly as possible the present mechan ical needs o'f the plant and the prob able expansion of the industry within the next few years. Every precaution will be observed to make this; initial development a 100 per cent success. Three rules will be adhered to rigidly in placing these cattle. In &e first place, any one desiring a loan of the bank to buy cattle must be a good financial risk such as the bank would accept ordinarily. In the second, he must provide the necessary facilities for proper care and handling of the cowvs which may be p~rocured for him such as home growvn feeds and for age, barns, good handlers, cans, sep arators, and kindred requisites for success. Thirdly, he must be a man who is susceptible and resp)onsive to suggestion . and instruction. Also, farmers will be encouraged only to take cows in proportion to their acre age, in *such numbers as can he uti lized best for soil improvement and convenient and efficient handling. Naturally, one may wonder if there is not dlanger of overdoing the in diustry, if launched on this scale in newv territory. Hardly! In 1920, South Carolina spent $3,000,000 for eggs and butter which were produced largely in the Middle West. She has a tremendous home'market and near by consumption which can absorb easily her utmost Production for many years. Mr. M. W. Cartwright is building the plant, in Flor'ence. lie has - had many years' experience in the cream ery--poultry plant business, having been' recently secretary and general manager of the plant of Sherman White & Co., of Fort Wayne, Ind. Prior to that,. he was vice-president and general manager of the Nissley Creamery Company, which owns and operates several -big plants in Texas, including Fort Worth, Amarilla, San Antonio, and'other points. Between his terms of service with these two companies, he was an officer in the perishable products -division of the United States army during the World War. The business will be conducted under' the trading~ name of the "Co lonial Creamery Company." It ,will market its fanoy lines under the brand "Colonial M~aid"' and ther regular lines will be known as "CCC". 'ft'he best posted authorities of South Carolina, believe the state is ready to engage in dairying on a per manent an'd extensive scale. Certain 11y she is better prepared now than SOUR STOMACH INDIGESTION Thedford's Black-Draught High! . Recommended by a Tennessee Grocer for Troubles Re. salting from Torpid Liver. East Nashville, Teun.- The efflo lency of Thedford's Black-Draught, the genuine, herb, liver medicine, .i1 vouched for by Mr. W. N. Parsons, a grocer of this city. "It is without doubt the best liver medicine, and l don't believe I could get along without it, I take it for sour stomach, head, ache, bad liver, indigestion, and al other troubles that are the result of a torpid liver. "I have known and used it for years, and can and do highly recommend m to every one. I won't go to bed with, out it in the house. It will do all ij claims to do. I can't say enough for it.,, Many other men and women through out the country have found Black Draught just as Mr Parsons describer -valuable in regulating the liver to its normal functions, and in cleansing the bowels of impurities. Thedford's Black-Draught liver medic clne Is the original and only genuine, Accept no imitations or substitgte! Always ask for Thedford's. g a she ever has been for such an enter prise. . Conditions are most propitious now. Several factors contribute to the present circumstances. Chief among these, the cotton boll weevil has appeared throughout the state in such damaging numbers that her peo ple are discouraged from continuing at this single crop, which from time immemorial has formed her chief item of produced wealth. Tobacco is an uncertain crop also and the pro duction is reaching proportion that the supply far exceeds the demand. These "misfortunes" to her two prin cipal crops have compelled her people to turn, quite generally, to more food and forage crops, in the way of posi tive preparation for the advent of dairying. They are planting more peas and corn, velvet beans and corn, vetch, rye, oats, clover, and some al falfa, and other forage and grazing crops in one year now that they plant ed foilrmerly in 10 years. They have the hay, grains, and ensilage to feed their stock from the farm, nistead of buying such feeds - $50,000,000 worth of them in 1920--with their cotton an dtobacco money, as they have (lone for many years. Exper ience with these crops' has turned their attention, concertedly, 'to soil improvement- without regard to stock feeding in many instances. With plenty of such feed ,they are pre pared and ready to venture into dai rying, as the most paying of live stock --both for further improving their Soils and for a steady and ready reve nue. Accentuating thte preparedness of the state for dlairyinig, Clemson Col lege nowv has daiiry specialists p)laced throughout South Carolina to ha. dk liroblems confronting the present owners of (dairy cattle and to culti ,vate further interest in the industry These men are the very hest that car be had, some of them having beer brought even fronm European dair~s centers. During the recent dlepression of th<, market for agricultural products, th( farmers who kept up their accountL boast wvith their banks, who suffered least financial inconvenience, antd wh< were most prosperous, were those whc had good average farm herds of dlairy cattle. Those who did not have such herds have observedl the d ifferenet atdd are more inclinedl to add dairy cattle to their farms accordling tt their acreage. All this has contribut edl measurably to the readiness of th( state to engage in dairying. As one great prereqluisite to enter ing into the (airy industry, South Carolina has practically. eradicatec the cattle tick under the (direction of the United States government. Thi quarantine now is on only three or four counties which were late ir starting this work and they will b< released probably the first of the year or very soon thereafter. Recently, through Hoard's D~airy man, Mr. M. R. Telstrup dealt very frankly with the "Status of Dalrying in South Carolina." H~e pointedl out numerous weaknesses wh~ich are ad mitted, but the present impetus of the indlustry in the state is expected to overcome many of these dlefects such as state non-regulation, the fain ily "peddler" cow, lack of state in. spection, and other modlern meaguret of the pirogress of successful dlairyingt in well developed sections. Most of these questions are controlled by mu. nicipal government, as a matter of fact. The state has a good law gov. erning tuberculosis in cattle and thiu is nnforcbd var yrlg-idly. 00F THE UNIV NEW F F.0.13 Chassis, Runabout, . Touring Car, Truck Chassi Above Prices Withou!

P 1 NEW ZI The traflic department of the Flor ence Chamber of Commerce is making a survey of the railroad rates for cream, eggs, and poultry in South Carolina. These data are being com piled with the object of procuring such rates as are necessary now for the development of concentrating plants and production on a profitable basis. Inasmuch as South Carolina has never had sufficient traffic in these commodities to necessitate such rates, they have never been published. However, the railroads are vigorous ly behind the developing of this in dustry and proper rates will be ac corded.
