Hendrix, soon to become ! magistrate of the first district, is one j of the best farmers in Lexington county. He is a farmer in all that ' the term implies. Not only can he grow cotton, corn, wheat and oats, but' he can grow as fine a truck as any many any where?and all right here in old Lexington town. Mr. Hendrix brought to The Dispatch-News office on Saturday a winter cabbage J and a winter collard that were as fine ; a specimens as we have ever seen, j The cabbage weighed 10 1-2 pounds. ' while the collard measured 4 1-2 feet I across the top. Both were grown in ' I the Lutheran parsonage garden, on 1 upper Main.street, and it is said that j there are many more equally as large : i and fine. i Mr. Hendrix also grew three bales ! of cotton on one acre of land adjoin- i ing his home the past year. Hereto- i fore the land was in old field broom ! straw. Mr. Hendrix cultivated the ! ground in 1919, but not in cotton. The I past year he put his best efforts in j the idea and succeeded in making | a record for himself. The land is. very close to the acre on which the ; late John M. Caughman made a world's record, when he grew five bales on one acre. BOX jPARTY AND CAKE W.ilK.

COUNTY AGENT WORK MORE IMPORTANT TH AN EVER BEFORE i | We regret to learn of a disposition iin a few counties to try to get along in 1921 without a county agent, or 'with a less efficient county agent. Such a policy is like dropping the pilot just as the ship enters the most 'dangerous seas. It is like, shutting up the lighthouse just as the storm comes I '.on. The farmers of the South will need the help of the county agent more in 11921 than ever before. And they will use him more than ever before. ; In the first place, they need his help about production. How much the cotton acreage will be cut is problematical, but it is certainly going to be cut. Farmers are going to grow a dijversity of crops, and they are going to need guidance in new fields of effI ort. They are also going to grow more I livestock, and here especially they will need the help of a thoroughly equipped county agent. No less urgently?in fact, even more urgently? farmers will need rl,f. hcln nf fhp onnntv agent in nrob lems of marketing. Big and promising plans for reformed cotton marketing (as well as tobacco marketing* and peanut marketing in sections growing those crops) are already under way. The county agent is the man who must do more than anyone else in bringing success to these plans for scientific and profitable marketing. IThen, too, in growing corn, hay, hogs, and cattle, farmers will find their diversification program of small profit unless plans for cooperative shipping and selling are worked out. They naturally look to the county agent for leadership in these matters. For all these reasons the best inA CARD. I wish to inform my Lexington friends that 1 am still at Mimnaugh's, ! in the clothing department, where I have been for thirty years. They have always found me reliable. Prices have gotten back nearly to old times and I am better prepared to serve them than ever before, bo, it you need anything in the clothing or gent's furnishing line be sure to call and see me. . , JOHN M.
