Excellent Fair
At Liberty Hilt
No sign of hard times could be
seen at the Liberty Hill community
fair held lant Friday. Not only was
there an abundance of farm produce
of nearly every kind raised in this
county but it was of exceptional quality.
It seemed as though every body in
the community had tuken part. A
lot of work ami thought wan manifested
in the exhibits and displays.
The number of entries ran lnto'sevcraj
hundreds.
Crop exhibits jwere splendid?corn,
potatoes (sweet and Irish), soy beans,
velvet beans, peas, cotton, cafle, hay,
molasses and many others.
It was generally conceded, however,
that while the men folks did mighty
well they did not quite come up to
the high rating set by the ladies.
Canned goodb in large quantities ami
excellent quality were on every hand.
Cakes, preserves, juices and jellies
were rivaled only by tin* magnificent
hand work.
One. of the most outstanding displays
was the work of the school
children. .They had all sorts of
maps, drawings, written work, painting
and some very splendid poems.
One item of special interest was the
"Liberty Hill School News," a real
newspaper. The talent behind this
"neWs organ" is really extraordinary.
Mr. Pat Thompson took first prize
on pigs, mules and saddle horse.it,
while Mr. Norman Richards carried
away the blue laurels on his cow and
calf.
For best exhibits first prize was
won by Mr. R. C. Jones; second prize,
Mr. F. H. Floyd; third prize, Mr. C.
I). Cunningham.
The exhibits were judged by Mrs.
Hbgh McCallum, of Lugoff; Mr." Brevard
fioykin, secretary of the County
Fair and County Agents Reason and
(J reen.
Anyone who wants to s?e how to
make a good living on something besides
cotton alone should^/attend one
of Liberty Hills fairs. This fair is
the first they have ever had hut the
folks there say they want to develop
it more and more and have one each
year. They also decided to take a
greater part in the county fair this
year which decision was actuated by
their community fair which in turn |
was made possible by a lot of team 1
work, energy and initiative. There
are a lot of other good communities J
in Kershaw county atuf it is hoped 1
tht/t there will be a number of these1
splendid community fairs.
Indications now are that the people!
of the county are _'<>ing to bring more 1
exhibits t" the county fair than ever
before. A large tent has been ob-j
tained by the fair management ie
order to take cure of the increased
exhibits.
Let's everybody determine to bring
something?the best we have -even
if it was a dry year for a while. I
have seen some of the other county j
fairs and I boliwe we can have th<?
best one of all. We can if we'll all
bring the best we have. Ix>t's do it.
"Ia-t Kershaw county lead," says
Henry I>. Green, county agent for
Kv-haw county.

Mighty Good 'Advice
Chicago, Oct. 20.?The suggestion
of former president Calvin Coolidge
that "it is now a public duty to pay
bills promptly and buy what you can
'afford" was the advice the Lions International
had for the American
people today.
The occasion for the suggestion
was the organization's "'business
confidence weea" starting today in all
sections, where the organization has
clubs.
Aristide Briaud, foreign minister
of France, and one 6f the nation's
foremost' statesmen, is quite an ill

Plant Winter Crops
To Meet Feed Shortage
Clemaon College, Oct. 20. -South
Carolina's hay and corn crop wan
materially reduced by dry weather
in late uumrner and early fall which
will cause an actual shortage in
feed by early apring unless a sufficient
acreage of winter feed crops
is planted to mako up the shortage,
thinks it. W. Hamilton, extension
agronomist.
With u climate that permits the
growing of feed orops throughout
the winter and with a large variety
of crops such as oats, rye, barley,
wheat, vetch, Austrian peas, alfalfa,
and clover to choose from there is
hardly an imaginable excuse for a
farmer not growing sufficient feed
for his animals.
These crops can he seeded and
grown with u minimum of expense,
and will prevent erosion, save residua)
fertiliser, add organic mutter
to the soil, tho legumes add nitrogen,
and all supply most excellent
feed. Planting these crops induces
early destruction of cotton stalks
to eliminate hibernating places for
boll weevils. A large acreage of
winter grain and forage crops is one
of the most wise and economical
steps toward n reduced cotton acreage.
Lever To Lead In
Acreage Reduction
Washington, Oct. 10.-? Asbury F.
Ixjver, Columbia, S. <'., war-time
chairman of the house agriculture
committee, was selected today by the
j.farm board to advance its program
fur cotton acreage reduction.
He sponsored many agricultural
acts, including the agricultural extension
act and the federal warehouse
act.
Others named as field representatives
of the board to carry its message
of acreage reduction into the
cotton belt were Joseph O. Thompson,
Tuskegee, Ala.; and Arthur B.
La Cour, of New Orleans.
M. C. (lay, of Athens, (la., and
Charles H. Alvord, of San Marcos,Texas,
field representatives of the
hoard for several months, will work
with these men in visiting colleges,
extension services and other agricultural
agencies in efforts to forward
the acreage readjustment campaign.

HOCS ARK STANDARDIZED
Now that standardization is the j
order of the day, your county agent
is always on the lookout for articles
which tell of standardization of farm
products. Below he is reproducing
a couple of paragraphs from an article
concerning Prince Edward Island
in Canada, in the Southern Agriculturist:
"As the Dominion of Canada is
specializing in the production of high
grade Wiltshire bacon for home consumption
and the British trade, the
islanders believe in one brjred of hogs
for everybody. Nothing much has
been said about the farmers cooperating
in the uso of Yorkshire swine
exclusively, hut thoy have practically ,
accomplished it. For instance, the
only prizes offered at the agricultural
fair on the island arc for the
Yorkshire breed. So when shipments
of hot's leave the island for
the mainland, they are largely standard
in weight and quality, and uniform
in breed.
"The report of the Minister of Agriculture
has this to say of cooperative
marketing: 'The spirit of cooperative
marketing seems to be so
thoroughly instilled into the average
producer of livestock that it is alI
most unnecessary to refer at any
1 great length to the progress which
has boon made.' "

Hogs Now Important
In Sumter Farmtng
????.
Sumter^ Oct. 17. ?'"During September
we have shipped six cars of demonstration-fed
hogs, or as many as
we shipped up to Christmas last
year," sgys J. M. Hleazer, Su?M*^
county farm agent, who feels tnat
Sumter county folk "are really getting
on their feet, as it were, in the
hog business now."
Over 50 farmers in the county are
now hogging down corn and soybeans,
and practically all of these
hog growers have planted their winter
grazing (oats, rye, wheat and
barley mixed/. This will furnish
green grazing for the winter and
spring hogs, and make a good hay
crop for next spring or a good field
of grain to hog down after it matures.
"Our folks are getting on to the
idea of making cheap hops by growing
them in the fields," says Ms
Kleazer who tells this most interesting
story of field feeding,
"We shipped a lot the other day
that had never been off a grazing
crop since they were farrowed. They
were born in an oat field in March
and stayed in there and hogged it
down as it matured. They stayed on
the oats until about August 1, when
they were turned in on corn und soybeans.
From this field they were
marketed, having never been in the
farm lot, nor ever been pen-fed.:
