Also have yb^ir name put on the list to receive the Mjnorithly garden letter from Clemaon College free. Sow some hairy vetch if you want bigger crops and want to help the soil too. Plan your farm so that it will maJu> a living for your family and livestock. ixit's get down to business with our farm ng. We have the soil hnd the climate, Man's duty is to farm it properly. Cooperate with your Government, Extension Service and Clemson College. These are your own institutions. You pay taxes that help Jteep them in operation. It's good business to use them. Apply sound, tried, proven business meth. ods on farming and you will And the farm pleasant and profitable. Of course the weather is a factor, but our trouble can't all be blamed on ' the weather. Our greatest farm relief must come from our own efforts. Live at home. .Select your next year's seed corn from the field now. Keep accurate records on all farm enterprises and operations. See which parts of the farm pay and , which do not, and then drop or improve the losing branches. But let's first see where we are at by the use of farm records and accounts. Try to sell something to the town J I man when you buy from him. Do more bartering. Save more money. . Cut all the hay you can. Long time until Spring. Let's stop buying feed for stock. I heard something told on a Kershaw county farmer the other day. I It must be a mistake surely. They said that he actually bought some meat from town. That's as bad as, ! a farmer (?) I heard of in another state who they say actually did buy J out of a storp some meat, meal, hay and corn. Poor fellow. Would it be well to form a county poultry organization and systematically and scientifically study and deI velop our poultry business? Big opportunity in Kershaw county for poultry. Every farm should produce enough eggs and chickens for the family use. And they say that a few dollars along from eggs and culls comes in mighty good. I imagine the man who bought that meat could find a place to put chicken and egg money, even if the wife did get some government I bulletins from the county agent and study up on chickens and make them get on the credit side of that farm account book we were talking about just now. If that cotton keeps on showing a net loss we'd better increase the "chiokery." Again, those I chickens with the help of legumes, the old cow, and a few more pigs, might actually pay that fertilizer note at the bank. If one method does not work well then try another, and I heard a man?a banker?say that it was "time to make a change." Let's talk it over. There's going to be a community meeting in your section of the county soon. A "where am I at" meeting. Your neighbors are going. Meet me there. If you expect to save some cottpy seed for planting speak to your ginner. He knows what to do. The Kershaw County Pair is yours. Lot's everybody take pride in it. Talk it. Help it. Encourage your neighbors to put in some exhibits and don't forget that you can help by doing the same thing. Bring something. Premium books are soon to come off the press. Get one from your banker and your county and home agent. Don't come to the fair ami say what I hoard a man say once: "I have bettor than that at home." Blanket up the calf or cow, scrub up the pigs and sow. trim up j the chickens now, bring some corn) and taters anyhow. Men. women, boys and g:rN lot's all of us get to-' nolhiT and ha\e the best county fair in !his part of the country. The success oi- failure of the fair depends on you folks, therefore, I am happy in the belief that it will be a big success. Over 7,000 pounds of hairy vetch seed have already arrived in Kershaw county for farmers who ordered a few days ago. Looks like it will go over 10.000 pounds. Have you gotten your hairy vetch seed yet? If your neighbor won't wake up and plant an acre of hairy vetch tell him to read I roverbs 6:6. If he is agin' livestock tell him to read Psalm 50:10. I knew a man once who was like a human grasshopper. Russia plans by irrigation to plant .1,000,000 acres of cotton soon. May bo another lost customer. Better get that farm to "producing a living first." Jour H ( lub Boys are getting active in Kershaw County. They ar< pigs, chickens, legumes. I know f boy in thia county who will probably make more profit on his cotton of 5 acre* than his dad will on 16 acres. The dad is realizing that time and conditions are changing, "And a little child shall lead them.* Nearly 100 new names have been added to the Boys 4-H Club in the county in the last two weeks. The best corn I have seen in the county belongs to a club boy. He beat his dad. (Confidentially, 1 ordered 100 pounds of hairy vetch seed for that dad last week.) Three cheers%or the 4-H Clttb boys. Real leaders. Congress surely started some worth-while "farm relief" when it made it possible for your boy or girl to get this training through 4-H Clubs. I heard of a man once who didn't know what a 4-H Club work really was until he discouraged his child. Then I saw au article in the paper headedc"A Loat Boy." If you don't know ho^v valuable and important Club work is fair with your boy or girl and find out by writing to your congressman, senator, governor, and asking your banker or local extension agents. If- you dislike your son-in-law and want to see him lose $4.00 or $5.00 on a hale of cotton tell him to gin it while it is damp or wet, or pick It while green or wet and let it lay in the field over night. Plant something for green foraging for those chickens, pigs and cows that you should have. Ask your banker. He is thinking of the same thing. Cultivate your fruit trees and sow hairy vetch or some other winter cover crop. Turn itc under in the spring. This operation may kill a few insect*. If you want to show your neighbors that you can raise one acre of real corn just sow that acre in hairy vetch and turn it under just before planting corn. That 4-H Club boy is right when he says "Be sure to inoculate hairy vetch seed where grown the first time." You can order hairy vetch seed direct from almost any reliable seed house, or I will be glad to send in your order for you. Seed costs $10.50 per 100 pounds. Sow twenty pounds per acre. Cover then lightly with harrow or scratcher. Sow in corn and cotton middle, stubble or laid out land. Withhold judgment on hairy vetch until just before you plant corn. Mow that pasture. Mow whereever you see weeds before they mature seeds. Try a few acres of barley and let me know next year if you are glad you did it. If you sow barley this year you will sow it next year. Don't let those 4-H Club boys have to start everything. Sow some barley yourself. Mr- P- H. Gooding, your extension poultry specialist from Clemson College, said a lot last Thursday at the H. H. Poultry Farm meeting and canonizing demonstration when he stressed the absoulte necessity for sanitation with chickens, their runs, houses, feeds and the like. Clean, disinfect, and whitewash poultry house. Are your chickens too crowded ? If so you may expect roup. Next time you kill* a chicken, open up the intestine and see if there are any worms. .What kind? Write Mr. Gooding about it. Cull out your unprofitable hens. If you folks want a poultry association you can pool your culls and sell them to advantage by a car. Make a pasture and then get a cow or two. I knew a man once who put a fence around a pine thicket and a bunch of gullies and called it a pasture. He might have Pooled himself but he didn't fool that old cow. She got even with him though by cutting down on her milk supply. His children who sat at the far end of the table and didn't get any milk nor enough vegetables and lean meat might, have had their names in that list of l.Odo people in Kershaw county who have that unnecessary malad> called Pol'ngra. Ask your count . health department. The nrr time you give $5 for foreign mis.-;, also give a little to hcia tell our pf ,ple about gardens, cow-, railk and butter, chickens and eggand ham- ;tnd home grown meals. Don't sla, ken any on foreign missions, just strengthen our home missions a little.

Mr*, (iladyit Caldwell Telia Newepapar How It U J>one. (Paul Plana hard in the Nation) I wanted to know how- normal people lived on the average wage they were getting in a mill village of South Carolina. I was taken to see Gladys Caldwell in her four-room cottage. She met us at the door and invited us in. Ah she talked, Mrs. Caldwell was Vivacious and eloquent, with flashing brown eyes and flashing white teeth, from time' to time she spit snuff into the fireplace with perfect nonchalance. Her husband came in before we were through, n big man, strong and steady-eyed. He is 30, she is 20. Here is her story: Yes, I have a husband and Ave children. I'm a weaver, at least I work in the weave room flllin* batt'ries. I get paid by the day, i get up at four tq atari breakfast for the children. When you got five young 'uns it takes a ,while to dress em. The oldest is nine and she helps a lot. The others are seven, five, four and three. What do we have for breakfast? Well, bread and butter and syrup, usually. No, we don't get any sweet milk. We get a gallon of buttermilk every day for 25 cents. The children like it; but don't take much to sweet milk. They airit use to it. After I've got the children dressed and fed, I take 'em to the mill nursery, that is, three of 'em.j'Two go to school. * * My husband and I go to the mill at seven. He's a stripper in the cardin' room and gets $12.85 a week but that's partly because they don't let him work Saturday mornin'. I get $1.80 a day. That's $9.95 a week for five and a half days. I work from seven to six with an hour for dinner. I run up and down the alleys all day. No, they ain't hardly ever a chance to sit down. At noon I run home and get dinner for the seven of us. We have more to ent at noon. We have beans and baked sweets and bread and butter, and sometimes fat-back (fat bacon) and sometimes pie, if I get time to bake it. Of course I make my own bread. It takes about $16 a week to feed us. We get nearly all of it at the company store with jay flaps. They are the slips the company gives you for buying groceries with after you'veworked all day. Then you can get your groceries right away and don't have to wait until the end of the week for your pay. If we don't have 'em some of the people would starve before the end of the week shore enough. After dinner I wash the dishes and run back to the mill. There's a faucet with running water on the back porch and a regular toilet there, too. You can see we have electric lights, but we dqn't have any heatin' stove. When the whistle blows at six I come home and get supper. Then I put the children to bed. We have three double beds for the seven, of us. The baby's pretty young. I 'spose all of the children'll go into the mills when they get a bit older. We'll need' the money all right. We've moved five times since we Mr..Traxler, the agricultural teacher at Antioch, is helping them too. Some .more cooperation. Oil and put machinery under the shelter. Let's help our1 unfortunate neighbors to get out of the debit column and get in on the credit column. But most of all, let's all of us think more. Think straight and get down to rock bottom business with our farming. We have good natural endowments, good soils, good climate, good location, good people. By sound business methods we can develop these talents to greater usefulness and service for our loved ones. was married?that's 11 years ago. It don't cost much to move when you move a little way. But they ain't nothin' in movirt' from one mill to another in the long run. My husband reads a book once in a while but I don't get time. I went through thfe third grade in school and then when I was nine I went to work in the mill. My husband didn't go to school neither but he picked up readin'. Yes, we take a paper. When supper is over I have a chance to make the children's clothes. Yes, I make 'em all, and my own | clothes, too. I borrow the use of a | sewin' machine. On Saturday night I 1 wash the children, and do the week's ironin'. I have to send out the laundry. It costs nearly $2 a week. Our rent in this house is only $1.30 a week, and we get the water and light free. , I alwuys make a coat seven or eight years. My husband getrf"*. suit every two years but he ain't had one for the last six years. Things have been pretty hard. I like the movies but I haven't been to one in about six years now. I don't get time to go to church. We been lucky about sickness. The children ain't been sick at all for years. Let's see, my babies cost $25 except for the first one and that cost $30. 'Taint every doctor that will do it for that. I never had any trouble. I worked up to two months before, mostly, and went back when the child was about four months old. I had to hire a colored girl when the babies come. That cost $7 a week. Yes, maybe my children ought to get away from the mill vilage, but if they went anywhere they would go back to the farm and there ain't no use doiii* that. The farmers haven't got it as good as we have. ,?Chester Woman Suicides Mrs. Virginia McPherson, 21-yearold Washington nurse, formerly of China Grove, N.
