Move* to Kershaw
T. B. Clyburn, of Camdep, was a
visitor in Kershaw Monday, the pur*
pose of hU visit being to conclude a
deal with M. Bluestein for the purchase
of his residence at the corner
of Cleveland end Marion streets. Thin
cottage occupies a prominent location,
is well bulK and is supplied
with all conveniences. Our information
is that it will be occupied by
Mr. Clyburn'* son, L. K. Clyburn and
family, who now reside in the cottage
one door south of the Benton
Hotel. Before moving to Camden Mr.
Clyburn was a successful farmer in
the Westville section, and has continued
his farming operations since
.going to Camden. We are indebted
to him for a pleasant call while here,

COUNTY AGENT MAKES PLEA
FOR FARM DIVERSIFICATION
Garden*-?-Have an all-year garden.
Get your garden bulletin free. 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 .

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.
