A SIX IN THE PRICE RANCE O^TBE POV* Pdcking Plants Bring Relief To Farmers \> " Introduction in a large scale of the canning industry will be the talvation of agricultural interest# Afef South Carolina, according to T.' T). Lawton, proaidont of the Pioneer Qle Insurance company, who grew up on a farm in Hampton county eo4. i* familiar with conditions confronting the farmers of his native state. -"I was more than pleased with my recent visit to the large canning plant at, Fairfax," said Mr. Lawton after a trip to that section of the state. "The plant there is employing arpund 460 persons und is producing 0,000 .cans of goods daily. Two other branch plants are to be -established in that section soon by R. H. Pollock, formerly of Philadelphia, who is head of the South Carolina Pack* ing corporation. "The plant at Fairfax will now operate the year round, as arr^Vigements have bpen made to obtain winter goods also. ' This plant packs beans, okra, tomatoes, sweet potatoes and kraut. The fall crop is planted the hitter part of August or first of September and will afford an abundant supply for winter operation." Shaking of. the improved morale among farmers of his old home section, Mr. Lawton said: "I was tremendously impressed with the good feeling prevailing in that section. The farmers there believe they have beaten the boll weevil by starving it to death. .Since the boll weevil lives on nothing but cotton, it will have a time trying to live in? that secion of tin- state for the next few years. The profits attending the early operation of the cannery have guaranteed the future operation of the plant, as the farmers, for the most part, would not think of going back- to ?^4ton- their-~sele?money crop." As an example of what can be done in a few counties, Mr. Lawton quoted figures for the corn-canning belt in central Illinois. "Thirty-two million cans of corn were produced in canning factories Iroquois, Ford, Champaign and Vermillion counties of Illinois in ?i recent year. In addition, these factories produced 125,000 cans of tomatoes, 2.250,000 cans of beans, 750,000 cans of pumpkins, 12,435,000 cans of pork and beans, and 1,000.000 bottles of tomato catsup, or a grand production of more than 50,000,000 cans of farm products. Who can say that a section of our state could Yi'tii do as well within a few years.?"" Bird Makes Its Own Hootch. New York, July 15.?How a little bin! lives near the headwaters of the Zambesi and there, far* from human habitation and the closer intimacies of barrooms, makes its own hard liquor and drinks it secretly, was one of the stories brought honeon the Leviathian today .by W. T. Logan, a missionary, returning for a rest to his homo in Buffalo. 1 he little bird, said Mr. Logan on his word as a missionary, makes a little hole in the clqy river bank and fills it with fruit. After the proper period it goes back and opens the clay vat, sips a little of the content-5 and goes looking; for a lion. Government Supply j To Be Replenished Washington, July 21.?Prohibition Commissioner Doran announced tonight that he would soon begin grant-* ing applications of distillers for pe-mits to manufacture medicinal whiskey and that about 2,000,000 gallons would be distilled in 1930. The manufacturing will be done under government supervision in five' or six distilleries. The commissioner explained that the law required him to provide for replenishing the depleted stocks of whiskey for medicinal purposes. At the present time there are 9,549,071 gallons of whiskey on hand, according to reports compiled July 1. H estimated that with 1,500,000 gallons withdrawn each year this was enough to last !; ve years. As the liquor aged "four yea he said there will he or.ly one yea-' supply on hand when t new wh>Key can be sold. ^ The c mmissioner said that exte sive e\a??">fttions of the 800,(Km rels of whi-key now in bonded w.i-. . houses convinced him that not n. -v. than l.oon barrels of que.-;.nr.. able quality.

Prize For Beat Ears' Offered By Southern Atlanta, Ga., July 22.?Corn growers of the South will have the opportunity during the fall of 1929 to compete for the handsome silver cup of- j fered by the Southern Railway Sy?tem to the grower of the best ten ears of corn produced in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama or Mississippi, according to announcement by Roland Turner, general agricultural agent for the Southern. To qualify for the competition for this coveted trophy, the exhibit of corn must have won a first prize at one of the designated state or district fairs. The prize winning exhibits from each fair will be sent to Mr. Turner's office at Atlanta where they will be judged by a committee of three experts. The cup was first awarded in 1925 and was won by Willie Pat Roland, a corn club boy of Newberry county, S. C. In 1926 it was won by James A. Patterson of Rowan county, N. C.; in 1927 by Dan W. Bickley, a corn club boy of Lexington county, S. C., and in 1928 by Charles N. Long, 0f Haralson county, Ga. "The object of the Southern in awarding this cup," said Mr. Turner in announcing the 1929 competition, "is to encourage the growirig of more and better corn in the South and it is hoped that an increasing number of farmers will enter exhibits at the fairs which will put them in line for competition for the cup. "The award of this trophy, being made by a selection from the best corn exhibited in each state, is'equivalent to a certification that the winner has grown the best corn in the south that year." < lnude Singley, -twelve year?oldwhite youth of the upper part of Newberry county is minus two fingers on his left hand and probable sight of one eye because of t)he fact that he lighted a dynamite cap which he thought was a cigarette. The cap was handed the youth by a negro boy. According to statistics made public in Washington there were 43,285 births in South Carolina during the year 1928 as compared to 24,427 deaths during the same year in this state. Stunted Pigs Do Not Regain Their Quality Clemson College, July 22.?Making growing pigs wait for the grain crop to ripen is a costly practice and a pig that has been stunted will never make up in appearance and quality, say livestock specialists. Too many farmers let their crop of spring pigs get along as best they can with little or no feed until the grain crop is ready. idea that a pig can make up for th^, lost < time when they have an abundance of grain is a mistake that many South Carolina farmers are making. The amount of grain required to finish a pig that has been staftfeti., will be greater, more expense will be involved and buyers can readily spot a hog that has suffered from the lack of feed. The most profitable hogs are those that have been kept growing from the start, and well fed until finished, declare livestock specialists. Some of the difficulty due to lack of feed in the early summer months may be 7 - * J* . . . . ? , He'd Wait a While. A negro called at tfye hospital adfl said, "I called ,to see how mah fre? Joe Brown wus gettin' along." I , The nurse said: "Why, he's gettinjB along Ane; he's convalescing now," 9 "Well," said the darkey, "I'll justfl sit down and wait till he's through." eliminated by growing barley for th pigs. Barley offers protection again* feed,, shortage during poor corn yeai and enables the- farmer to Anish-h hogs for market when the prices ai high, in advance of the corn*fed hogi By getting the hogs off to a gw start rather than waiting for the cor crop, better quality meat is product and chances.of hitting a high marki are greater. The barley may be sup plemented with a good protein fee such as skim milk, tankage or Ad meal. A good pasture, preferably legume crop, greatly reduces the eosl of production. The best way to in*] sure a continuous pasture, is to pro*] vide more than enough pasture for the pigs and cut the surplus for hty.
