CLINTON, S. C., JANUARY 8. 1*25
OOOl) FARMING
Intense farming is the ,kinds of
farming that makes it possible for a
landowner to become wealthy from
the products of a ten acre plot, while
his neighbor who owns five- hundred
acres goes hungry. There are les
sens in plenty to be learned from this
intensive farming. A homely old
saying one often hears in this'coun
try is, “I live at home and board at
the same place.” That is the farm
er’s way of expressing his independ
ence. Intensive cultivation of the re
sources and advantages of a small
city will, in time, make it a very
wealthy city.
The good -farmer puts everything
back into the soil he can. He does
not feed his hay or grain to his stock
and then spend money for commercial
fertilizer. Clinton is not a large city,
but intensive cultivation applied to
what the city has, can make it one of
the most progressive cities in the
country7 . The one big thing in mak
ing a city where hard times will neVer
be known is to keep Clinton’s money j
in Clinton. This is a figure of speech I
which applies to the entire Clinton 1
territory. --Chicago is a great metro
polis. Stock yards,-wholesale houses,
and mail oruer businesses, built up
with money from the South, the West,
and the East, have made Chicago
what it is. If the Clinton money
which has gone into Chicago and other
coffers could be put in a lump sum
it would be sufficient to guarantee
comfortable livings for many persons
in this commdni^ty.
Here is our farm waiting for culti T
vation. Plant the dollar here, and
the hardest will come in a surprising
short time. “Buy in Clinton” spells
prosperity for all—it means more
jobs, bigger salaries, more homes and
more money. Join in, everybody.

milked, separated, shipped cream,
etc., while the neighbors classified
him in the fool class. But ‘he
who laughs last laughs most,’
and now it is Mozingo’s turn.
He has builded a better mouse
trap, so to speak, and last week
the world in the form of a per
sonal representative of Colgate,
the millionaire soap manufactur
er, of New York, who came
straight to the modest Mozingo
farm in a woods of cotton and
left three thousand, two hundred
real dollars in exchange for one
cow and seven heifers (two of
them baby calves.)
‘‘This man said that that fellow
Mozingo had the best kept cows
he had ever seen on any farm in
the United States, and that such
a man is just what Mr. Colgate
wants to feed his cattle away up
in New York state. In other
words, Marvin Mozingo, of Stokes
Bridge, Lee county, is asked to
name his price if he wants a big
job for a rich man. All because
heJfcSfit his cows well and gave
thenra charnce- to money for-
him. The world is looking for
men -who do their jobs wsejl.”

THE SMALL DAIRY FARM
The small dairy farm is more and
more coming into its own. Thought
ful farmers are learning that it af
fords profitable results if properly
managed, ar.d at the same time adds
to the value of the farm. When the
subject of the small dairy is men
tioned, or the suggestion that a farm
er carry at least three or four blood
ed, registered cows along with the
stock for the year’s operations, the
average man thinks in the terms of a
big dairy, where there rpust be ce
mented barns and towejing silos and
an army of help just to tend to the
cattle. Some few men, however,
grasp the idea mid here and there you
come across a man who has arrived
with a small farm dairy.
Such a man is Marvin Mozingo, of
Stokes Bridge, in Lee county. A few
days ago, according to the farm agent
of Lee county in the Lee County Mes
senger, a representative of Colgate
& Company, New York millionaire
soap manufacturer, came down to the
Mozingo farm and bought a cow and
seven heifers—two of the latter baby
calves—for which he paid Mr. Mozin
go $3,200. This representative of the
wealthy New Yorker was so impress
ed with this small farm dairy, the way
it was managed, and its manager, that
he offered Mr. Mozingo a job caring
for the soap niillionaii j’s cattle away
up in New York state.
The interesting sti ry of Farm
Agent Quinerly, is reproduced here,
because what has been done by Mr.
Mcz : ngo can be accomplished by marty
other farmers who give the subject
serious and intelligent consideration.
Mr. Quinerly says:
“For a long while we have en
deavored to point out the substan
tial advantages of the small farm
dairy—but have had only one real
illustration to exhibit in Lee
county. Marvin Mozingo, of
Stokes Bridge, has been our model
and we have bet our bottom dol
lar on his making a success with
dairy cows. He started with good
ones, he has been breeding better
ones, breeding them largely at
home and giving them his person
al care and attention, carrying
out the old German proverb, “The
eye of the owner fatteneth his
cattle.”
“Marvin started with only a
few Guernseys several years ago.
