Build Fences Now
Clemaon College, Doc. 115.?That
feed and fences are first essentials
in a livestock program is a well-recognized
fact, asserts J. T. McAlister,
extension agricultural engineer, who
advises that farmers who are planning
a change in their farming system
that will include livestock will
find this a most opportune time to
bulk! fences. Where |>osts are obtained
on the farm, a large part of
the ertst in building fences is the labor
cost. Labor is cheap uikJ plentiful
and wire is also costing slightly
less than heretofore.
A! touch the location of a fence
may b> considered temjx/raxji, it will
pay use good materials, especially
corr p? *ts an<l good iusivj wire.
Wo- n w , re that has No. 0 top and
botl ... . ,;d No. 1L between recom
mended. Smaller size wire, while
cheaper in first cost, rusts ami
breaks badly in a few years and in
mo\ing or handling it is bent in
many places, causing the zinc galvanizing
coat to break, which results
in rapid rusting.
Desirable post materials that can
be found on most South (.'-arolina
farms are mock orange, black locust,1
cedar, cypress, mulberry, white oak
and post oak's, long leaf pine, and
other common trees. Posts should
be thoroughly dry before setting.
Why shouldn't farmers buy cotton
at today's market price rather than
go into debt next spring to try to
grow another crop that will in all
probability depress the price still
y further? Looks to us that if the farmer
will contract for cotton equal to
his production this year and then not
plant a seed, and give his time and
attention to producing feed crops and
covering his lands with legume crops,
he will be ahead of the game no matter
how the price i?f cotton goes H
year hence. Vorkville Knquirer.

More than 5,000 parcels of property
will be sold for taxes in Asheville,
December 20, according to an advertisement
in an Asheville newspaper.
Does this mean that Asheville,
which has a wealth of natural advantages,
which include a climate unsurpassed
anywhere in the United
States, is not aH good a town as we
thought it was?
No, Asheville is a city most blessed

Government Farm
Specktlista Coming
*
Agricultural credit for 1931 will
in all probability be much more restricted
than k has been in 19291930.
With thia serious handicap in
view it is neceaaary that the farmers
and farm extension agents do their
best to work out the <be?t ways and
means possible for farm operation in
1931.
In' order that the farmers of Kershaw
county may more clearly realize
and understand just what they
are up against for 1931, we are making
arrangements for a aeries,,of
meetings to be held over the couniy
which meetings will be of great dm4*
port a nee to farmers, bankers and
business men. Certain government
and state specialists are being eu-> gaged
to come to Kershaw county
and go into the matter in detail with
you.
, 1 have personally gone into the
matter of farm credit as concerns the
five banks of Kcrshww county and it
is my belief that these banks are
necessarily going to have to restrict
their loans in 1931, not because they
wish to do this, but because is is absolutely
necessary. However, 1 believe
that the banks are going to do
everything tihat is in their power to
help the farm people of the county
but they will not go beyond the
bounds of safe and consistent banking,
which fact I am sure the farm
people as well as others will appre<
iaie.
The first and most important thing
for our farmers to do is to produe-s
something to eat for their families
ami stock and begin doing so at once.
Ti.e next thing is to produce something
which they will be able to sell
for cash and at? a profit. This, of
tuuiaf, v. i.i l,e h-.gs, according to all
indications now.
Every farmer in the county should
attend the meeting nearest him in
order that he may get the great good
fmm these government agents whom
w o afe bringing here fen- no other
purpose than to help the farmers and
people in general.
Among the specialists who are
coming here shortly after Christmas
are: Mr. Oris V. Wells, of the Bureau
of Agricultural Economics, U. S. D.
A., Washington, D. C.; Mr. A. L,
Durant, Clemson Extension Livestock
specialist, Florence; Mr. S. L.
Jeffords, Clemson Extension Agronj
omist; Mr. P. H. Gooding, Clemson
Poultry Specialist; Mr. R. D. Steer,
Clemson Extension Livestock Specialist;
Mr. A. E. SchiBetter, Clemson
Extension Horticulturist and Garden
Specialist; Mr. R. W. Hamilton,
Clemson Extension Fertilizer Specialist.
Several of the 4-H club boys
"meetings will be hold over the county
starting early after Christmas and
continuing for several months.
Farm meetings in connection with
these specialists will be held at the

Many Convictions
By Solicitor Spigner
(From Sunday'* State.)
Criminals and lawbreaker* had
better select places in South Carolina
other than Richland and Kershaw
counties for their eacapadea if they
value their freedom. T^at is, if fcha
records of criminal prosecutions bj
Solicitor A. F. Spigner, whose cir\
cult embraces the two counties, mean
anything.
The solicitor went to bat 281 times
last year and batted nearly l>8 per
cent. Out of the total number of ca?$#
ir^cluding more than two dozen capi?
tal criminal trials, he secured convictions
in all exoept six.
! The figures show that in no term
did he toae more than two cases, and
^hiat only In one, the summer term of
Kershaw county, did he lone two. At
the January, April and September
terms in Richland county artt fn the
fall term in Kershaw he Joft. one
case, but he batted 100 per cent at
the summer term in Richland and the
spring and winter terms'in Kershaw.
. Here are some of the figures, com-,,
piled by C. E. Hinnant, clerk of court
for Richland, and J. H. Clyburn, clerk
of court for Kershaw:

The totals for both counties show
that there were 275 convictions
against six acquittals.
In Richland county the solicitor
convicted 14 persons in murder and
manslaughter cases and two others
for capital offenses while in Kershaw
seven murder and manslaughter defendants
fell before him.
Asked yesterday morning about
the record, the solicitor remarked:
"Of course I am proud of this
year's work. I hope that next year
will hold similar verdicts!"
Thefts and similar charges such as
robbery, housebreaking, highway rob>J
bery, led all classifications with 101.
cases. Booze, which last year also
rarkpd high, took second place with
82 cases in the two counties.
Solicitor vSpigner has completed?
with the Kershaw term of early in
December?his court work for this
year, and is now engaged with preparation
of indictments for the Richland
county general sessions term
whieh opens January 12 in Columbia.
Coics Being Adder!
To County Farms
Cows arc being added to some
larm in Kershaw county almost daily
but we are still far behind in dairy'
work and in dairy products for home
use.
Cows pay by producing milk and
butter for each member of the fam- '
ily to use as a part of the necessary
daily food, also as an income earner .
through sale of b^r surplus milk, |
cream or butter and her calves. The ,
cow Is Also an important factor in
making bigger and more profitable <
crops by use of manure. It is imJ I
portant to keep her stall or shed '
well littered. I
Milk nnd butter, as your doctor
will agree, is not only a splendid !
food but is really necessary for the
best development of the child. A
plepty bf milfc and butter will help]
hold down the family living expenses.
Cows on your farm are a good indi- 1
catioH* to your banker that you are
living at home and that you will not
buy food with the money he may
lend you to farm on.
It is of greatest importance to keep
ahead with the production of feed?
home-grown feed. not attempt
to keep cows on bought feed. Raise
a plenty of good legume hay, corn
and have a good pasture. Be good
to your cows and keep them only
on\A business basis and they will
prove to be your valuable friends.
Plan now to get an extra heifer
or two and to produce more feed.
Talk it over with your banker and
county agent.
If you already have enough cows
that you can spare some sour cream
fe will help you get started selling
it at once. By selling the sour cream
you do not realize very much money
directly out of the cream but you
have amall expense and have the
skim milk left to feed to pigs, chick- '
ens ami calves.
Please produce more cows, hogs
nnd chickens, is the request of Henry
D. Given, the county agent.

Hogs Will Be Our
1931 Life Savers
?_?? *
Many Kershaw county farmers will
in all probability find it practically
impossible to be financed in 1031.
liy starting now and raisin# a few
extra hogs, such farmers will probapi/
be able to finance themselves betPer
/ffb&n they might expect. Present
indications point to the hightat hog
prices in the near future and a far-\
mer who has a few hogs to ell will
be very fortunate. Two hogs will pro- '
bably bring as much or more than a
bale of cotton next March. The only
bright spot in our agricultural outlook
for the average farmer in Kershaw
county next year is the sale of
hogs.
Farmers having corn for sale can
probably realize about twice as much
for this corn by feeding it to hogff
and then Celling the hogs. We all
know th*t fit present corn prices are
very low and that sale is almost impossible.
With a good hog outlook
and cheap corn it seems that the
dnly sensible thing for us to do is to
produce hogs on this corn,
j Now is the time to put shoates on
feed for the spring market. Give
them all they will eat and make their
growth as rapid as possible. Do not
feed corn alone but use fish meal or
tankage in connection; also it will be
well to have something green for the
pigs to graze on. It would probably
be profitable to mix about 7 pounds
of cotton seed meal with each 100
pounds of fish meal or tankage. Give
these hogs free access to all of the
corn, fish meal, etc., they will eat.
My prediction is that our farm relief
is going to come largely from
our own efforts, rather than from
some distant fores and legislation t
and I strongly recommend to you farmers
of Kershaw county and also to
the 1-H club boys that we develop
our hog business, starting r.ovv,

Bird Sanctuary For
North Carolina
Washington, Dec. 18.?The purchase
of land for migratory game
and bird refuges in Florida, California,
North Carolina and Nebraska
was authorized today by the migratory
bird conservation commission.
The land involved aggregates 73,780
acres, and will cost the government
an average of $5.28 an acre.
The North Carloina refuge to be
established will ,be known as the
Swanquarter migratory bird refuge.
It will consist of 11,778 acres in
Hyde county on Pamlico sound, and
together with intermingled areas
of water will make an administrative
unit of about 20,000 acres.
The four proposed refuges have
been surveyed by biologists and land
valuation experts of the biologcial
survey of the department of agriculture.
Their acquisition of refuges
has heen approved by the department.
The Florida refuge will * extend
about 12 miles along Apalachee Bay,
in Wakulla, Jefferson and Taylor
counties, containing 13,081 acres. It
will be known as the St. Mark's
migratory bird refuge.
Dog Sense
On the farm near Gladstone, Virginia,
A. A. Babcock has a coon dog
flamed Red, and a collie, Pete. The
latter failed to show up one evening.
After several days it was noticed Red
was carrying away bones and other
Jermps given him. Mr. Babcock followed
him one day and Saw Red go
tto a stone quarry and drop the food
|nto a hole. In the bottom of the
ihole was Pete. He had fallen in and
couldn't get out.
t The textile industry will enter the
ew year in a sounder position than
t*t has occupied since it first encountered
postwar deflation, D. G. Woolt,
editor of the "Textile World," stated
Tuesday.?,He estimated mill operations
during the year were approximately
20 per cent, under 1020, but
said that decreased activity actually
was the most important element of
strength in the industry and that
never before has there heen such a
concerted attempt to balance production
to demand. During the new year
he believes the prospect of a more
stable rate of employed, fairer profit
margins and healthy broadening of
markets.
The house passed the Wood bi'l
*rhk?h would provide an additional
JM>0,000,000 for the Federal farm re pof
board. The measure was passed
without opposition and now goes to
the senate for confirmation.
It is predicted by Dr. George Otis
Smith of the geological survey, that
10,000 independent oil and gas companies
will be forced out of business
in Kansas and Oklahoma, if the Prairie
Oil and Gas company retires
from the market on January 1st.
Two Brood Sows Beat
Thirteen Acres Cotton
n
Jesse B. Taylor moved out to his
little farm this year. On a bwo-wulo
acreage he planted 1$ acres of cotton
and made 1-3 bales. But for a fine
cornucrop and two brood sows, he
says he would have "gone in> the
hole." "Didn't make a dime's profit
on the cotton," .as he put it. He has
500 bushels of corn to sell when the
poor devils quit giving it away.
From the two brood sows he has
sold 137 dollars worth of "shoats,"
has two nice gilts left that will soo.i
farrow, along with " the mothers.
Next year, he will increase the corn
and hog crop, but reduce the cotton
to 7 acres, 3 1-3 acres to the plow.
If al! these writing, howling and
riding "planters" would just reduce
half thai much, in proportion, prices
would come again in a few years.1
The trouble with the big fellows, as
a rule, all these years has been that .
they neither reduced wind por real j
cotton acreage.?Calhoun Times.
