See that all the hay you make is properly housed; weathered hay has low feeding value for dairy cows. Poultry Place all pallets in laying houses early in the month. Care for pullets so that they will start, laying in October. Cull out weak pullets so as to have a strong healthy Dock. Do not keep any “boarders” in the flock this winter.. ^ DELIVERIES SHOW EARLY COTTON Over 1.200 Bales of Cotton Have Been Delivered to Marketing Association. * • Columbia, Aug. 27.—That the South Carolina cotton crop is extremely ear ly this year is evidenced by the deliv ery figures of the South Carolina Cot ton Growers’ Co-Operative Association given out tonight.

Cotton is beginning to come in from the Piedmont section pretty rapidly, indicating that it is at least two weeks earlier than usual in that section also.

The Miame of Coker in connection with office was used entirely ,without hi* knowledge. The tfirst he knew of-it was when it appeared before the pub lic. Those who know Mr. Coker have cordially welcomed the- suggestion. Those who do not know him have re vealed this many of them, in what they have had to say, and those did not hesitate in tainting the suggestion with common politics. Mr. Coker has neYer been accused of being o politician nor of seeking office. Through all of the publicity Mr. Coker has had nothing to say. Thfe editor of The News and Press interviewed Mr. Coker today concern ing his position in this mater. There were no preliminaries. Again, Mr. Coker .was not apprised of this re quest, which was that he should let his position be known relative to hiis prob able candidacy for the office of gover nor of South Carolina. Replying to this request, here is what Mr. Coker had to say: “I had not intended say ing anything concerning this mater just yet, but since yod have asked the question I do not at all object to stating my position. I have no r idea of asking for the office of governor of South Carolina. I have laid.out for myself a line of public service work in which I am deeply interested and I would not care to lay down this task for any other. While I greatly appre ciate the suggestions with reference to my probable candidacy a« they have been made, this does not alter my po sition.

Ov er 800 new members have been se cured since the first of the year and most of them are large growers. Oth er factors which have contributed to keep some cotton from the association in the past have been removed this season so that the association expects to get the bigggest percentage of the state’s crop that it h§s ever gotten. Reports received from other state as sociations indicate that all of them are expecting greatly increased deliveries, it was said at the offices of the South Carolina association today.
