November is the time to put it in, on a firm seedbed, using a bushel and a half of treated seed per acre, according to Clemson. What needs to go on the better lands. The Atlas variety is recommend ed for all parts of the state. And in addition the Anderson and Co ker No. 47-27 are recommended for the up-country, and Taylor &nd Coastal for the lower part of the state..If good seed are needed, your county agent can likely help you locate them. Beat Bay "Wallace's Parmer,” the farm magazine out in the great hog state of Iowa, says; “If you want a poor investment, buy a cheap boar hog. He will cost you more in the end than three higher valued boars.” As you know, the hog is being rebuilt now. All breeds are center ing on breeding and selections for more lean meat. Our breeders in this state are active in this. And the fall sales and recent fairs showed the progress they are mak ing. This changing of the hog has been made necessary by the loss of much of the old lard market It is being filled by vegetable fats. Therefore much of the tendency to produce fat is being bred out of hogs. And at the same time the tendency for more lean is being built up by selection and breed ing. This should prove to the ad vantage of the farmer, for the ex perts tell us lean meat is cheaper to produce than fat anyway. And our packers are beginning to pay a slight premium for the lean meaty hogs too. Fairfield Testing Cattle County Agent Lynn, of Fair- field, reports the testing of cattle for (Bang's disease as moving along satisfactorily. It is being done on an area basis and all of the cattle in about half of the county have now been tested. And the work shearing a sheep is an art, an art we do not have, but must develop, lips And Downs County Agent Miller, of York, says their first early peaches this year brought as high as $10-30 a bushel. But that was not for long. Prices held up fairly well though until Elbertas came in. And that’s the big movement. Then i.t drop ped where it hardly paid to pick ’em. 1 '• Boys Are That Way We had ipreaching at our church in the stone hills of the Dutch Fork every fourth Sunday morning, pre ceded by Sunday school. And then just Sunday school on second Sun days. — The men didn’t go to Sunday school. But on fourth Sunday they brought the rest of the family for that, while they sat out under the trees chewing tobacco, whittling^ talking, and waiting for church. Most of ’em squatted on their haunches or sat on an exposed oak root there in the bare yard. And occasionally there was a don’t-care one that would sit on the ground with his Sunday pants on.
