June 18-24, according to announcement here today by H. O. Wil liams, sftate Hoys' club agent. Percy Anderson, selected on the basis of his excellent work in the pig club for five years, 1925-1920, and in the corn club for 192J), has produced during those five years a total of $1)05.60 worth of products at an expense of $681.73, which gives him a net profit of $383.87 for the )>eriod. His profits have ranged from $1.23 in 11)25 to $203.27 in 1021). i 1 Harper Welborn's record show.that in three years, 10*27-20, he produced ^otton valued at $334.96, costing $104.48 t<j produce, leaving $225.47 profit. T^is despite the. fact that in his first year, 1927, because of adverse conditions he made only seven cents profit, a circumstance thut would have discouraged most b^y* to the point of giving up entirely. Both boys, who are again in club work for 1030, are highly praised by their county farm agents. (>f Percy Anderson, J. Ward McLendon says, "Percy stands out as an enthusiastic, conscientious club worker, who has never lost interest and works more for the interest of his club than his own." Of Harper Welborn, S. M. Byars says: "He has been an outstanding club bov, has always done what was expected of him even under most unpromising circum- J stances, and has been a leader in his club, insisting that his club do out- ' standing work." . * ! Olga Edwards, New York actress, recently convicted on a charge of attempted extortion, and facing a sentence of three and a half to seven years, has been given a five-year suspended sentence and freed. Hogs and Hens | For Ready Cash Florence, May 5.?A good illustration of the fact that many Florence county farmers are learning that a few, good hogs and a good flock of poultry will greatly assist in financing the farm in the spring when -chsh is generally scarce on the farm, is found in the family of S. B. Anderson, says J. Ward MeDendon, county farm agent. Mr. Anderson and his son, JPercy, a 4-H club member, have kept three Poland China so<v?, from which they have put up enough meat and lard for home use and have sold $241.65 worth of hogs this spring. I^ast year they sold $715. Mrs. Anderson, from her flock of Rhode Island hens, sold during March $136.41 worth of eggs, with only $37.SO leaving, the farm for feed. The experience of the Andersons proves that there is not only a profit in hogs add poultry but thpt tne money coming in ut this season of the year when the farmer is pitching his crop saves time prices, and high interest rates.
