South Almost
Got West Point
0
(Special to The Charlotte Observer)
Sumter, Dec. 8.?Comparatively
few South Carolinians, *nd probably
fewer Southerners, know that the
great military academy of the United
States, known as Westjfoint, missed
being located in South Carolina by
j only one vote. However., recent in- j
vestigntions by Clerk of Court H. L.
j Scarborough, following the finding
of a deed fi-om Gen. Thomas Sum-! I
^er l>to Thomas Jefferson, president
have shown such to be the fact.
The deed conveys 500 acres of
land from General Sumter to President
Jefferson{ supposedly for purpose
of the United- States, on the
site of what is now Great Falls, one
of the important power plants of
the state, which was then a fort, or
trading post. The deed is /dated in
1802 The compensation for the 500
acres of land was $200. After com-^
ing across the deed, Mr. Scar borough
investigated and congressional
records show that this site
was one of the proposed sites for
the United States Military academy,
hut whep the vote came in congress
West Point won by a majority of
one vote.
After the Revolutionary war, the
statd of South Carolina- had no funds
on handtfwith which to repay General
Sumter for/his services during
the war and in remuneration it gave
him several large tracts of land. It?
is supposed that the tract of Great
Falls was one of" those given the
Gamecock chief tan by the state.

Cannery Must Know
By January First
January 1st has be<?n set as the
date before which the farmers of Kershaw
County must indicate what they
intend to do in the way of planting
beans and tomxtoea for the cannery
contemplating moving to Camden. All
farmers who intend te take this op
portunity should indicate their inten
tiou before that date either to H. p.
Green, County Agent or te the Cham
'? ' of Commerce office.
As a result of the meeting: of the
farmers held on last Saturday something
over half of the total acreage
required was subscribed. 300 acres
more of beans and tomatoes will have
to be promised before * the cannery
will set up in Camden.
Definite prices will not be set until
after the canners association meeting
in January but the officials of the
cannery are guaranteeing that th<t_
prices to b?> paid will at least equal
those paid last year by them, vis: j
$15 per ton for tomatoes and $^5'
per ton for beans. These prices compare
very favorably with those .paid
throughout the country and at' which
farmers of other sections have been
able to grow these product* profitably.
Last year the average prices
paid, throughout the United States
was $13.98 per ton while the prices
paid for beans in South Carolina last
year averaged $45 per ton. The average
yield of tomatoes throughout
the United States last ycjn* was 3.8
tons per acre and in 1927 was 4.5
tons per acre. The average yield of
beans per acre in South Carolina last
ycur was 2.2 tops per acre which gave
the farmers a gross income of $100
por acre.
When it is realized that it is to
the advantage of the cannery to have
the farmers realize from their produce
a good profit because otherwise
they would not he willing to continue
to plant for it, it is likewise realized
that the minimum price named above
will be raised before the signing of
the contracts in January if possible.
It is understood that such a raise is
quite probable.
Farm Flock Nets
Her $4.29 Per Hen
Mrs C. L. Wells, of Greenwood
County, received $440.86, or $4.29
per hen from her 102 Rhode Island
Red hens from November 1, 1928 to
October -31, 1929, says P. H. Gooding,
extension poultryman.
"Mrs. Wells kept complete cost
account of all' transactions made in
connection with her flock," explains
Mr. Gooding. "Her hens averaged
144 eggs each during the year. Egg
sales amounted to $473.27 and meat
sales to $623.81, making a gross income
of $1,097.08. The total expense
was $664.85 of which $552.41 was
spent for feed. This left a net income
of- $440.86 for the year.
"Mrs. Wells' feed cost per 100
ppunds was $3.90. She lost 6.$ birds
out of each hundred during the year,
which is a very low mortality."

Farmers Must Take
To New Paths
? ?
*he other day your county agent
was talking to a man who U considering
the development of a flock of
chickens, In the course of the convernation,
the man said, "Seem* odd
my going into the raising of chicken*.
1 used to think it waa a womail's
job and not worth the attention
of a ?;cd-blooded man. To tell
the truth, the only reason. I'm considering
it, is because it pays better
than growing the fteld crops I've ^al:
ways hnd on> the farm.'1
That made me remember that the
men have taken over tlpjpilking of
cows, the churning of butter, and the
making of cheese from the farmer'*
wife who had done this work for
ever so many years. The men learned
that these things paid well.
These thoughts made your county
.agent ripe and ready for a thoughtful
article by Dr. Gus W. Dypr in
the December issue of the Southern
Agrk ulturist. Your agent can not
give it all here, but he is quoting a
bit to interest the reader^ of this
column enough for them to read the
entire article:
There is a big future for the veg- i
atable business, the milk business,
the poultry business, the fruit busi- I
ness, the berry business, in the South, i
Our climate and soil are wonderfully,
adapted to production in this field,!
and We will have little trouble in [
passing many competitors from the,
outside if we will give the-time and i
thought and energy to the production
of the-e commodities that- we can j
give, it' we really want to succeedJn
this inviting field
"No one can succeed in this field:
of pro-Hi t ion that is largely new to i
Souther-, farmers who is not willing
tq use ills brain in solving the prob-1
lems that such production involves.!
Ifc'is an interesting field of activity,!
and any one of average intelligence '
can b< "ne efficient if he is willing !
9 1
to pay the price in industry and!
thought. Hut the work here can not
be standardized and simplified as has
been done in the production of the
major, farm commodities
"Such adjustments as here suggested
for the present day farmer
are made in every other successful
business today. No business can follow
the beaten paths now and succeed.
Radical changes in demand are
taking place in practically every
sphere of business as never before,
and success in any business depends
on the intelligence and the industry
displayed in following demand wherever
it leads. The man who refuses
to use his brain in adjusting his production.
to the changing demands
- must take his place with the brainless
crowd, and be contented with
the meager rewards that go to those
who toil without intelligent direction."

Creation of a state highway patrol
will be sought again at the coming
session of the general assembly, Attorney
General John Mi Daniel, who
has recommended the fclll, announced
Tuesday. A similar measure, introduced
at the last session, failed to
pass. Under the recommendation of
the bill the patrol would be operated
with funds supplied by the state
highway* department but the force
. would be on a > non-political basis.
The number of fatalities on state
highways during the last year proves
the need of such a patrol, the attorney
general said, and expressed the
opinion, that legislators'will at the
' next session look with favor on the
measure.? .. ~
