At $100 per bale that will total $3,000,000, Ten thousand milk cows should produce at the lowest estimate 20,0001 gallon? of milk per day. This at" 10 cents(ja gallon would total $8,000. I his multiplied by 305 ,(days) would total $2,024,000 annually, and in addition there would be the natmul increase in calves, and 10,000 tons of manure per month at $2 per ton would total $20,000 per month or $240,000 per year.

NOTICE TO CORN GROWERS Kvery corn producer in Kershaw ( ounty who ran possibly <lo so is urged to exhibit eleven ears, <" twenty-two ears of coin at the Stater Fair j in ( olumbiji, says Henry 1). Green, the county agent. Kershaw county corn exhibits muda a good showing at the I'ee Dee Fair in Florence' and the county agent has just received a request from t'lemsoni College that we send eleven-ear ex- I hi bits to be shown at the State Fair ! if possible. Each exhibitor will be allowed to enter two eleven-ear exhibits, which would total twenty-two j ears of corn. We hope that every farmer in the county will take an interest in this matter. Four-H Club members are especially urged to enter corn from their home farms. All of this corn should be brought to the county agent's office not later than twelve o'clock on Saturday, October 19th, This corn will then be taken to Columbia by Mr. Green and properly placed, in the .corn exhibit. In selecting corn please select corn typical of the variety and of uniforrti size and shape. FARMERS SKEI) LOANS I.?ast year when our farmers were io very great need oi funds to finance another cfop the government camq to our reBcue by legislating funds which they loaned to4us known as "Farmers Seed Loans." South Carolina farmers borrowed $1,322,794.50, and Kershaw County borrowed $17,672.75. The amount paid back up until September 30, 1929, for the state is $419,019.98, and Kershaw County has only paid back $535.83. Unless the farmers who borrowed this money pay it back we will have a hard time ever getting the government to legislate such farm relief again. I want to urge every farmer who borrowed under this act to go the limit to repay these loans. We are endeavoring now to work out a financing arrangement with the Federal Farm Board in Washington, and it is only natural to expect that our ability aiid attitude to repay the present seed loan will have some bearing on whether or not the Federal Farm Board will assist us. Indications are that our farmers will more than likely need some financial help this year. Farmers desiring information on the seed loans are requested to write directly to Mr. L. K. White, administrative officer,, in charge, Farmers i Seed Loan Office, U. S. Dept. of Agriculture, Columbia; S. C. I ' Henry D. Green I $ County Agent. k . ? ? \ \ Near Beggars. [ .

A small per cent, of the acres planted in cotton will grow our foodstuff, and then some.
