Since coming to Laurens county as an agricultural farm agentf I have seen the need of an advisory board, or a council of leading business men, and leading fanners throughout the coun ty to aid me in outlining a program of ‘work to be offered to the people of the county for years yet to come. By having such a council ifc will en able me to put across more efficient work to the people of my county. On last Wednesday, January 12, twelve men gathered at my office at 2:30 p. m. for the purpose of aiding me in outlining a program of work for Laurens county. The meeting was called to order by the county farm agent, and the purpose of the meeting was explained briefly, but fully. The following officers were elected: G. B. Cannon, county agent, chair man. Hayne B. Workman, Clinton, vice- chairman. A. H. Moore,. Laurens, secretary* treasurer, The following men compose the board of directors: -w. L. S. Cook, Fountain Inn, R. F. D. W. M.

The farmers contributed some very valuable information, or suggestions on this work. After due consideration of the work the following program of work was adopted: der direct management < landowner. - The council of agriculture that a copy of the hoove program of work be sent to Clemson college and published in pamphlet form to be sent out over the founty to those who wish to have a copy.

He has this year 230 broilers of mixed breeds, 6 weeks old, averaging at this time about one pound each. From the record he is creamery at Laurens.

I McCormick, Jan. 15.—In discussing with Thomas W. Morgan, county agent, his work during 1926 and the aid in producing the next crop w»H general outlook for 1927, M r - Mor of farming in the eoijntg during 1926 has been the poultry industpr. Mr. Morgan furthet states: “I have recently .made a survev of 50 poultry farms in the county, from which I have selected 1$ representa smallest, have tabulated the results which show that poultrymen on thesa 13 farms have received an average of (4.46 a bird for each laying' hen in the the seed and letting it be generally known that Ahe farmers who obtain be the ones who have- made an as.« £ *. have i tl praquee piore ;.c<*Wh on feet peres if they are to make money from this line of farming., A big step in this direction was made last spring when the eouhty afoot, in cbopdratidh tive surveys, fro pi the largest to thif a local bank, disposed of a carload of 1200 bushels pure Cleveland cotton red seed, secured from a well-known breeder of the state, among the farm ers of the county.

Y Talking will not get us anywhere, and the time has come where it is going to get down to real work—both head and manual work. From the interest being shown, as mentioned above, and the conditions confronting us, and the wonderful op portunity the Laurens people have at hand for establishing- a creamery here with everything to gain and nothing lose, I cannot see how we can let such an opportunity pass us by. Not every town or county in South Carolina has, or will have such an offer to establish a creamery in it as Laurens county has had. There is such a thing as the same opportunity coming to us only one time. I do be lieve that we should not take a chance on letting this one pass us. * If the people of Laurens county mixing his feed. This feed will cost him $27.30.

(a) Rye. oats, vetch, clovers, and mixtures of small grains and vetch for fall sowing to be plowed under in the spring are the crops most com monly grown during the winter. (b) Cowpeas, soybeans, nad velvet beans should be grown as summer soil building crops. 3. (a) Plant the best cotton seed obtainable of varieties of proven merit. (b) Cooperate in reducing the num ber of varieties grown. (c) Grow more and better cotton on fewer acres. 4. Combat promptly all insects, {pests and plant diseases.

Wilde, the prospective creameryman, as we have received from the University of Wisconsin, where he taught, and from the bank ers of his home town, we would be well pleased by him coming here, and he would be well pleased by coming. The thing for us to do now is to get busy and put Laurens cdunty on the map in creamery production. As I have stated in each meeting or. this proposition, you need not think you will get rich in a few months, nor can you handle cows with no work. You must start and stiek to it through thick and thin. I am afraid that a number of farm ers will not take all into consideration when they begin to think of the cow. If you only figure your returns from butter fat, I can say here now, that you are going to be disappointed. If you take into consideration the butter fat, the value of skim milk, the off spring, the value of your manure, the ready market of y<jur feed through your cow, and a year round employ- dozen, or $85,60 for one month. The cosh of feed was $24.17, making a to tal profit of $61.33 during December, excluding Mr. Weisner’s labor. For the three months the 115 hens produced. 442 dozen eggs, and value them at 60c per dozen makes a total of $211.00. Cost of feed for three months was $72.51 or an average of $46.16 per month for three months. While on the farm of Mr. Talmadge Patterson of Lanford Station, last week culling his poultry I was very much impressed with, his efforts put forth with his dairy. Mr. Patterson milks ten cows, producing about 20 I opinion is that if as much money had been invested in the poultry business as in cotton for the past two years, McCormick county would be the rich est agricultural county in South Car olina. >. ““Sheep is one of the most promis ing side lines developed in McCormick county at the present time. Flocks of the county increased about 25 per cent in number during 1926 and at present number about 1100. The third annual carload of lambs was shipped from the county in June and netted the farmers $6.83 per lamb. Farmers have found that the wool pays for the cqs|t of keeping the sheep the year round and lambs are a clear profit. An average of 80 per cent of lamb production was secured from the flocks of them are rapidly farms to a self-sup porting basis. It is nothing short of wonderful that we have as many farm ers on the farms as we now have when think of the -obstacles that have we confronted them sihee 1920.’ In spite of all these factors, I find the farm- of the county more open-minded ers gallons of milk per day. This milk is of the county the past year. nient, I feel sure you will be proud of sold at Enoree. He makes about $4.00 per day, not counting his labor, but counting in the value of his feed. If Mr, Patterson continues this work I am sure it will be to his advantage. I have not included the value of his manure at aU. Also I looked at a Duroc Jersey brood sow while on his ffirm which has had in the past 2 1-2 years 5 litters of pigs averaging 10 and receptive for suggestions for im provement and betterment df agricul tural conditions than ever before since I have been in extension work. With this Spirit of co-operation, we can hardly fail to make 1927 the-greatest year for diversification that has ever been known in McCormick county.” Capt W. N. Dyess Has Passed Away “More interest than ever the history of the county before in has been shown the past fall in the production of feed crops and live stock for home consumption. Practically every farm er in the county, both land owner and tenant, has seeded at least one acre of wheat to the farm. Local banks have cooperated m bringing this about by assisting the farmers in securing pigs per litter which average $5.00 the fact that you have started with per pig, or a total of $250.00 worth of cows. pigs.

South Caro lina averages only one cow to every seven persons. Creamery butter is sold by some of the stores in the coun ty shipped from New York. Fat back meat is shipped here from the North west. One store in Laurens sold 120 dozen eggs in one week just before Christmas, shipped from Xqnnenssee. Now, who is to blame, or do we feel like any one isto blame for such being shipped here: This looks to me. like we are not doing what we should, much less what we can.
