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.

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

By getting the hogs off to a gw
start rather than waiting for the cor
