No Depression Seen
At State Fair
?outh <'ttrolinutruj who m#y have
harbored the idea that the people of
their state were downhearted or despondent;
who may have thought that
Old Man Depression walked arm in
arm with Palmetto citizen*, had their
eyes opened yesterday at "Big Thursday"
at the State fair.
Observers aay that the crowd at
the fcair Thursday is a cross section
of South Carolina; that in thy Thursday
crowds are representatives of
every profession, trade and business
in South Carolina.
That being true the scenes around
the fair grounds yesterday could not
hut be heartening.
South Carolinians are not fearful
of the future, judging from the
crowd on the grounds. There were
literally acres of automobiles about
and within the fair inclosure. And
the automobiles were not of the one
lung, smashed fender type. Hundreds
o? them were 1930 models of
moderately priced machines, llany
of them were in the higher priced
dass. In some of the fields about
the fuir grounds it would have been
possible to walk over acres of land
merely by stepping from toj> to top
of automobiles. People without funds
don't operate *>ueh cars as were seen
yesterday at the fair.
1 lie crowd itself was well dressed.
New tall suits were in evidence on'
every hand; the overcoats of the, men
nod the coat- of the women were for
the ino-L part of 1930 styles. The?
-habbily (In -oil were not to be!

Yet more people have been coming
to the fair this year than lust. The
attendance Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday of this week has been, according
to officials, heavier than last
year.
So it would seein that the fair, in
addition to other services it has rendered
the state, has demonstrated
that South Carolinians are not "busted"
and are not gloomy over the
prospects.?(Friday's Columbia State.

Important Advice
To Hog Shippers
*
The following' was iwceived from
Mr. ( h. M. Eleazor, county agxmt,
Sumter, S. C., and since it is so suitable
to our county I wish to pass H
on to all the people of Kershaw county
to use, says Henry L>. Green, the
county agent for ,KeUah#w county:
We have about completed our fail
hog shipments. The seventh car will
move now in a few days. There will
he an occasional car after that up
to Christmas.
The feed shortage in the North and
West has ho reduced the -hogs on the
frams that it now looks as though
nothing can prevent a high level of
prices during all of 1S>31 and on into
1932. With poor outlooks on other
things that we grow, we should surely
increase our hogs for the next
seasons n little faster than we otherwise
\Vould. , <
Every now and then a fellow tells
rpe that every time he grew rf hog
to sell in the psat, the market would
be low when he got ready to sell, and
he usually had his ready in the dead
of winter, when they am usually the
lowest of the entire ytear. ?But now
I can tell that fellow to have some
huskies weighing from 175 to 250
pounds in March or early April or
in September of next year and he
will likely taste some of those good
prices for once.
Since the Western hogs are being
sold light on account of feed shortage.
lard supplies have, dwindled very '
low in this country. *A.s a conse-!
Iueme, the outlook for prices on
heavy hogs is brighter than 1 have'
''v (M U" '* The fellow who has'
-onie duo-jxiunders next March and
April will likely sell them very close'
to top.
We must gt our bleeding dates'
light to bri,,g pjgS that will hit the!
Maryh and September markets right. '
T<> do that sow- should be I.red now. j
I hat will bring the pigs in February,
and gi\e you 7 to 8 months to make
top hogs out of them by September.
I hen breed again in April to bring
pigs about the first of August. These
will have 7 to 8 months to make tops
by March. The importance of getting
these pigs to come at the right
times is of utmost importance.
One man shipped six in our midSeptember
car that weighed 1,260
pounds and brought $138.60, or an
average of 11c. Six more weighing
tjhe same thing shipped three weeks
later brought $119,70 or an average
of 9 1-2 cents. Thus we see the
importance of having them ready on
time. The same number of hogs that
weighed exactly the same thing
brought $18.90 less just three weeks
later. This is not an exception
September and March are our months
to got the most out of hogs. Every
grower should get that firmly in
mind.
Every hog grower should at least
use a good, stretchy, well-bred boar.
I'rel erably u--e good sows, too, b.ut
i! y<?u can't afford that remember
the boar is half., the herd when it
Comes .to breeding.
We have some good hogs herein
the county now and as good pigs as
you will find anywhere can be secured
at reasonable prices. Do^'t
cramp your profits by trying to feed
runty, scrubby pigs. They will pay
little if any profit.
Green grazing saves from a fourth
to a third of the fish meal and corn
that a bog will eat. They should
have it the year around. If you
haven t done it, sow a grain mixture
nght away?using al>out the following;
2 bushels oats, 3 pecks abruzzi
rye and a half bushel each of wheat
and barley per acre. Use the first
two and at least one of the latter
two, if not both.

People Are Not Hard l'p - J
Notwithstanding that the iuiprej. I
sion prevails that the country jg hard I
up and that strictest economy U I
necessary in the matter of expend;. I
tures, people are not hard up. '
People have the money for th?
things they want, aiid as long as they
have the money for the things they
want they are not hard up. - j
In support of this contention vte I
would call attention to the fact that I
bunk deposits are up, building and I
h.an deposits are on the increase, J
the bond market is good and, com
ing down to our owh community,

ment place of this community, is I
crowded at every performance. Own- I

as usual. The gas station men report
that 'gasoline sales show no de- I

If this is true, it is also true that I
people have the money for the things I
they want. I
If there is still plenty of money in I
the commuinty, it*is foolish to rs- j
sign to a feeling of poverty and hard J
times.
Merchants should present their 1
I merchandise in good, strong, well- 1
written advertisements full of ty- I
timism and sales argument. I
If they do it will create desire for
the merchandise and business will
begin to return to normal. The merchants
can help the situation great- |
ly and it will be to the benefit of all
merchants to refuse to talk hard
times and put up the best front possible
and go after the business that
""** h-rrr rf?the?minds of the people?
can be diverted-from hard times talk
long enough to permit them to buy.
