Of Inte: W. R. G R C The County Agent wishes to take this opportunity of wishing the peo ple of Clarendon County a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, and to thank them for the many courtesies and the spirit of co-operation shown him during the year which is now coming to a close. Local Co-operative Organized at Manning Saturday morning a number of members of the cotton and tobacco as sociations met in the Court House and perfected a community organiza tion of co-operative members. This now gives Clarendon a total of four organized communities. Others are to organize in the near future. These locals will meet at regular intervals, and will be an important factor in furthering the marketing associa tions and other county and commun ity enterprises. The following officers were elected to steer the affairs of the Manning lecal: J. M. Windham, Chairman; J. H. Timmons, Vice Chairman, G. T. FloydSecretary; Executive Commit tee; W. C. Davis, H. K. Beatson and Glenn Ierriott. It was decided to meet in the Court house every second and fourth Fri day at four o'clock. Every farmer who is a member of either the cotton or tobacco associa tion is eligible for memberahip and is urged to attend the meetings of the local, ' Smoking Meat After Curing Following the instructions given re cently on curing meat by the brine method and the dry method, the sug gestions given below on smoking meat after curing may be of interest and value to many farmers, says E. G. .Godbey, Assistant Animal 11usban4, man. After the meat is cured, wash it thoroughly with lukewarm water and hang it in the smoke house for smok ing. Hang the pieces of meat so they will not touch but will permit a free circulation of air. After the meat has been hanging 24 hours, start the smoke, using hickory, maple, or some hard wood. Corn cobs will do, but they give the meat a dirty appear ance. Don't get the meat too hot. Let the fire start slowly and keep it well smothered. Thirty-six to 48 hours is sufficient, but in hot weather it is better to start the fire every other (lay and smoke a total of 60 hours. Smoked meat, after it is hard and firm, should be wrapped in heavy paper andl put in a muslin sack. It is very impotat that the topi of the anek he tiedl so it will keep insects out. Paint each sack wi'th yellow wv:.sh andl hang the meat up. Never stack it in a pile.

Trees that are 2 1-2 to 3inches in diameter at the surface of the ground may be trans planted with case. Before trans planting they should be cut back t< within 7 or 8 feet of the ground and all lateral branches remover. They should be set 2 to 3 inches deeper ir the soil than they stood originally It is usually better to plant trees of this type in late fall and early winter rather than wait until spring. The grouping of shrubs in suitabl places about the home will add great ly to the general appearance of the place by partially screening any un .ightly buildings or views. Such shrubs as abelia, eleagnus, spires weigelia, and privet are used foi massing or group planting as well as for specimen plants. The above named plants may be easily propagated from cuttings made in the fall and will be ready to trans plant to a permanent place the fol lowing fall. Test Seed Before Planting A yearly source of loss to the truck ing industry is poor seed. Many times large quantities of seed fail to germinate or some germinate and come up to a thin, ragged stand, which cost as much to bring to maturity as the small crop is worth. By the timc the trucker learns that the seed hc planted is, worthless, it may be toe late to replant; or if a second plant ing As mde it may be too late tc get the crop on the market when prices are highest. To obviate such losses seed should be ordered well in advance of the planting season no tiht a test may be made before sowing the seed h the field. About the best way to test vegetable seed is to sow from 100 to 1000 in a box of sand in the house, the hot-bed, or in some cases in the open ground. These tests should be made in duplicate. The more mrred taken for the test the less chance of error, but they should always be taken in multiples of 100, for the percentage of germination can then be more easily determined. The av erage of the duplicate tests is taken as the percentage of vitality. Seed can be tested in various forms of ferminating apparatus, but the most reliable is that men tioned above. Many times seed have sufficient vitality to germinate but are not strong enough to push thr-oughl thle soil, an'd if they can not push1 thrloulgh the soil thley are of no0 use to the truck(r CYPRESS ~ SASH DOORS BLINDS 0a MOULDINGS1 AND MILL WORK t:t:ttttt itt s:titt itsttttttti TICE ~t at all times for large or >gs and green pine bords. have any of this stock to lillis & Lumber Co. 2, s.

In moving bees there are some im portant things to be rendered, sug gests E. S. Provost, Extension Bee Specialist. 1. Close the entrance of the hive with screen wire to prevent the bees from getting out. The wire will also give sufficient ventilation. 2. Be sure that the hive is fas tened together so that the bees can not get out. This is done by nailing the bottom and the top to the brood chamber with hive staples or slats of wood. 3. Be very careful not to give the bees any unnecessary jarring, as the jarring may break the comb. If comb is broken at this season of the year it may fall over and kill the queen, which means destruction to the hive. 4. In moving young swarms, use great care. as their combs are more easil ybroken than those of older swarms. 5. When you get your bees to their new location, remove the screen wire so that the bees can get out. The slats may be removed at any time. On Feeding For Eggs In feeding poultry for eggs produc tion we must bear in mind certain 'undamental principles,' among which are suflicient food nutrients in correct proportions, and correct feeding, says N. R. Mehrhof, Exte'sion Poul try Husbandman, who gives the fol lowing suggestions. Grain Mixture.-Cracked corn 100 pounds, wheat 100 pounds, oats. 100 pounds. Mash Mixture.-Wheat bran 100 pounds, wheat middlings 100 pounds, ground oats 100 pounds, corn meal 100 pounds, meat scraps 100 pounds. Mineral Feeds.--Grit is essential as it assists the birds in grinding the feed. Oyster shell supplies the lime material for the egg shell. Grit and oyster shell should be kept in hop pers so the birds will have access to it throughout the day. Succulence,--Green feed acts as a tonic, aids in digestion, acts as an appetizer, and is a laxative. Alfalfa, clover pasture, sprouted oats, beets and cabbage are good succulent feeds. Methods of Feeding.-A bird should be allowed to consume practically all it desires of the right feed, for high egg production depends upon heavy feed consumption. No definite rules can be given as to the amount of feed each poultryman should feed. The biirds' app~etites vary and it is only by a careful watch of the flock that the birds arec properly fed. Grain must be in the litter to com p~el exercise andl should never be fed BANKRUPT NOTICE In the District Cou-t of the United States for the Eastern District of South Carolina. In Bankruptcy.

Ithis much better to feed grain:.sparingly in the morn ing,- so that. he birds will be hudgry enough to consume. mash throughoiut the day. The e ning grain ration should be a very. heavy one, for the birds digest food at night as well as during the day. Mash is best fed dry and should . kept in an open hopper . before thi birds all the time. Green feed is generally fed at nooi in the whiter, the amount depending upon the birds', appetites. Sproutdd oats are g9rierally thrown into litter or on" the feed platform'ied beets are hung -on nails on the walls" Water should be absolutely fresh and clean all the time. Running wa ter is much to be desited. Feeding hoppers and drinking ves sels should be kept off the floor' to allow free use of the floor space for scratching and to keep the vessels clean and sanitary.
