Developing A Market
A sort of hard puzzle hangs over
the building of a market for a new
thing.
Farmers are reluctant to produce
it in the absence of an established
market. And market people are
equally reluctant to try to build a
marketing facility before 7 the stuff
has been produced. And even then
they need to know something about
its quality and how it fits in be
tween other competing areas of
production, as often pointed out by
our extension marketing chief, Tom
Cole.
I stopped to see County Agent
Jackson of Williamsburg the other
day. He told me they have a daily
hog market now. Hogs are an es
tablished money crop, and every
one seems happy.
I recall the beginning of all df
that. In the late twenties the Low
Country was still reeling from the
near-knockout punch of the boll
weevil. And they were looking for
another money crop. They had
plenty of com, but couldn't sell it
for anything much. The county
agents put on hog-feeding demon
strations, using fish meal for the
first time as a protein supplement
in our section.
These demonstrations showed
that com could be marketed prof
itably through hogs. There were no
adequate local markets. So the
agents marked the hogs and con
signed them to Richmond. I recall
seeing Jackson there at Kings tree
crawling over wagons and trucks
on a freezing day marking hogs
with anaeors and loading them in

I was raised on a small farm,
where a shower could determine if
folks or critters were to eaj enough
the coming winter. And, sjice leav
ing home, I've been associated with
farming all the time. I know the
yearning that goes up for the need
ed showers. And all too often, they
do not come in time to save great
crop loss.
For generations we could do
nothing about that. If the kindly
benediction of good showers came
in regular fashion, we were thank
ful. And abundance blessed the
land. But when the searing
droughts baked promising pros
pects of land and muscle into
parched fodder, there was hard go
ing on the land.
Miny an education has thus
dried up in the field. And many an
old unpajnted house tells the mute
story. For, after drought had taken
decked field and hedge.
All of this pointed to the coming
winter, and to feet that must be
reshod. For soon the curtain of
frost would be drawn across the
out of doors, and summer would be
no more. And it was then that a
new set of delights would come
with winter to us country kids in
the stone hills of the Dutch Fork.

“DR. HART SAVED MY LIFE,”
SAYS HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT
*
“If it had not been for Dr. C. J. Hart I would not be
living today,” says this high school student.
“In September of 1950 I was hit on the head by fall
ing plaster and knocked unconscious for a few minutes.
When I came to myself I was suffering with a tremen
dous headache. I was x-rayed twdce but nothing could
be found to cause my trouble. Meanwhile I became so
nervous I could not sleep without sedatives.
• “I suffered continuously with my head for tw’o weeks.
A friend advised me to consult Dr. Hart. \V ith the aid
of an instrument, he called the Neurocalograph, he found
the cause of my trouble and two days later I was com
pletely free of pain. For the first time in two weeks I
was able to sleep normally. My appetite returned and I
regained the lost weight.
“I can definitely state with honesty and sincerity
that if it had not been for Dr. C. J. Hart of Laurens,
S. C., I would not be living today.”
The above letter is just one of the many on file in
our office telling of the wonderful results with MODERN
SCIENTIFIC CHIROPRACTIC HEALTH CARE.

health, it will pay you to investigate MODERN SCIEN
TIFIC CHIROPRACTIC and what it can do for you. Con
