A Word for Day Old (liicks.
March is a good month to secure
baby chicks. There is encononiy in
buying baby chicks. The gues8 work
and worry of incubation, the uncerItainties
of setting hens, and the frequent
disappointment of a poor hatch
are eliminated. Those interested in
securing pure bred chicks may communicate
with County Home Demonstration
Agent, Latta. She will either
send off ordera or give price list and
addresses.

Dll.liON SWEET POTATO
STORAGE COMPANY
We have secured our charter and
have more than twenty per cent of
our $6,000.00 capital stock paid in.
We expect to wait until warm weather
to beirin buildintr it s?j nnp ?-.ian
to build by contract and to watch opportunity
to buy lumber and materials
at a bargain. We expect to build
a house second to none in the Pec
Dee section. We hope to cure potatoes
in crates and think our storage
charge for the season will be twenty
five cents per crate. Our charge will
be uniform with other curing houses
in this State. The South Carolina Potato
Association is to hold a meet
ing at an early date to decide whether
the crate should hold one bushel
or five pecks. All crates the present
season were made to hold five pecks
We expect to Join the State Association
and to market our potatoes in
a co-operative way along with the
many curing houses now in Soutli
Carolina.
We still have some on? hundred
blocks of stock for sale and hope we
can build the storage house so nc
one Iorson will need take more than
a hundred dollars stock. We believe
we are fostering an important industry
thai is capable of doing big
things ior Dillon county. If we never
shir a crate of potatoes we think the
enterprise well worth while.
A prominent lady in Dillon remarked
that if all the vacant lots in
Dillon should be planted in sweet
potatoes, well fertilized and worked:
and it then stored so as to prevent
rottlDg that these vacant lots would
R almost feed our population. This is a
splendid suggestion. Speaking of
lawns do you know anything more
attractive than a beautiful' green well
kept sweet potato patch. The town
can bo made more beautiful as well as
more sanitary by replacing our unsightly
weed patches with well kept
\ potato gardens.

1 Facts About Cotton
Production of cotton in Russia is
' confined almost exclusively to the
1 Asistic provinces of Turkestan and
^ Transcaucasia.
Since the outbreak of th? Great
War in 1914 production of cotton in
1 Russia has averaged about 750,000
5 bales annually.
1 World carry-over at July 31, 1920
of cotton grown outside of the Unit'
ed States was 2,100,000 bales great!
er than it was at the end of the pre
vious year.
i i*r ?* j - - ? -
worm carry-over at July 31, 1920,
! of cotton grown in the United States,
according to Hester, was 6,086,000
' hales.
During the year 1919 the propor1
tion of world's mill supply of cotton
contributed by each country was as
follows: United Stateg 56.7 per cent.
British India 22.4 per cent. Egypt
5.9 percent. China 5.7 percent. Brazil
2>.8 per cent. Russia 2.2 per cent, all
others 4.3 per cent.
World production of cotton destined
for factory consumption in 1919
is indicated by U. S. Census figures
to have been 19,260,000 bales, not
including 582,000 bales of linterg in
the United States.
World production of cotton for
factory consumption in 1919 was 1,100,00C

cotton is running 25 per cent below
what it did last year, but the estimated
production, government figures,
is 1,662,000 bales greater.
There ig now enough cotton in the
world ( unspun, to last nearly two
years.
Cotton is produced extensively in
many sections of China.
Most of it is spun by hand in the
homes of the people, but reliable estimates
place the quantity of Chinese
cotton from the crop of 1919 which
reached commercial channels at 1,100,000
bales.
During the years 1862 and 1863
total production in the United States
javeraged less than 375,000 bales of
I cotton annually.
First cotton seed were planted in
.Virginia at Jamestown in 1607. Cotton
was Introduced into all the Southern
colonies by the first sellers.
The Spanish invader in 1519 found
cotton clothing in common use in
Mexico, and Cortez received gifts of
fine cotton fabrics from the hand of
the great Montezuma.
Statements to the effect that Egyptian
mummies were wrapped in cotton
fabrics have been disproved.

reference is made to the use of
cotton "hanging" at the feast which

VALUE OF TESTING SEED
CORN ON THE FARM
Clemson College, Feb. 28 ?From
the present outlook, with demoralized
prices, particularly for cotton, it is
expected that the South Carolina farmer
will this year give much more
atten tion than usual to the selection,
testing and growing the best types of
corn for the locality. It is advisable
that the farmer confine himself to
standard varieties of proved merit,
rather than continue with the specials
which might require years of experimenting
to develop Into profitable
yields as compared with the
Blandard varieties qJ much greater

The testing of seed proves to the

i.bout the same percent of seed will
germinate in the field. These contionditions
consist chiefly of preparation
of seed bed, depth of plant-'
