" Antioch Farmers Attend Meetings A good number of evening class | farmers and part-time farthers nt- j tended the poultry meeting at An- | tioch Thursday night. The subject I discussed and studied was feeding i laying hens. Dutu on the subject from Kentucky agricultural experiment station and from Purdue university was studied carefully. From ! these results the farmers found that ; all the feeds required for egg pro- ! duction can be produced on the farm at a tremendous annual saving over commercial feeds. The following at tended the meeting: Luther Bute, Kurman Pate, Barney Stokes, Mr. and Mrs. 1). G. Joyo, Jim Holland, Luke Davis, B. S. Stevens, Sumpter A mints, Eugene Pute, DuBose Davis, ('. T.

On Wednesday the Antioeh vocational boye joined the other county agriculture boys at the South CaroJthu experiment station for the purpose of learning now tilings about farming. Mr. Riley, the superintendent of the station, led them around and explained everything in detail. A noticeable thing at the station was the use of ail kinds of legume crops j used for soil improvement. Practically every field has hud some kind of legume planted in it for soil improvement. An interesting crop is crotalaria, a legume for soil improvement and also for feeding. There are several different types or varieties of erotalnria growing side by side. Then soybeans and velvet beans are grown abundantly. Ex- ] peri men ts with different fertilizers for cotton are interesting including the use of opaom saltB as a fertilizer. The dairy, the'herd of Guernsey cattle and the wonderful pasture and grasses are interesting. Those making the trip to the experiment station were L. A. Shiver, I). W. Traxler, Tom Johnson, DuBose Davis. Lacy Galloway, Clyde Dority, Williard Johnson, Donald Davis, R. B. Johnson, Elio Trapp and Ernest Sanders. farmer (lets Life Sentence. Laurens.
