With the exception of Georgia and New Hampshire, the review continues, South Carolina crops are the best?m?the?United?Stti.t..- m-m-n ov yield- for all crops combined being 10.1 per cent above the ten-year average. Continuing, the review says: "South Carolina has had two good corn years in succession. This year's 1 crop is estimated at 24.034,000 hushels compared with 2d,321,000 bushels last year and a five-year average ot 20.7KO.OOO bushels. "The estimate of 04,430,000 pounds of tobacco is the . lnrgest ever produced in the state, and compares with H2.002.000 jmunds last year and a five-year average of 0b,400,000 pounds.

Therefore, should ve not try to produce more of tho hinga that we need? We can grow ur own vegetables and fruits and roduce our own milk, butter, poultry, ggH, pork and beef.1 But if we are 0 produce our own milk, butte.-, >ork and beef, we must have good >astures. We can have good paaures, but not withput some effort n our part. Some farmers of South Carolina attempt to solve the paaure by fencing part of the waste and on the land ami calling it pasure. In this kind of pasture the veatock get plenty of exercise, fresh ir and sometimes alittle fresh rater and less grazing. You cannot roduce milk, butter, pork and beef t low cost without a good perman nt pasture. There are a few good asture plants that have proven that nth a reasonable amount of prepartion and outlay of caeh a good pasure is both possible and practicable. V combination of grasses and le:umes is to be preferred to a single rass or legume. A combination will rive a more continuous grazing, a rcater variety and a l>et>ter balanced ation. The best pastures will in* produced >n the h?w moist soils and the seepy lillsides. There are grasses that are ubject t?> overflow and water-logrirur. There are 4lso many acres of and that are growing up in bushes, ines and broom sage that could be leaned up and put in permanent nurture and thereby made to return 1 nice profit to the owner. The land to be put in- permanent pasture should be cleaned up and .urned this winter to kill the roots jf vines, bushes and broom sage. It should be turned now so it would have time to settle before planting time, which is from the middle of February to the middle of March. The seeds should be planted on a firm seed bed, because the seeds are so small thnt when they are planted on a loose seed bed the young plants are unable to grow deep enough to firm soil to secure sufficient moist-! ure before the plants die. Grasses that are recommended for this section are: Bermuda, Carpet grass and Dallas ' grass. Carpet grass is especially recommended for moist soils. I/Ogumes that are recommended for this section are: Lespedeza. White Clover or Dutch Clover. Lespedeza should be planted irr every pasture in the state. Tho rate of seeding these pastures is as follows: Dry *an<ly landa or uplands: Bermuda grass cuttings, Lespedeza, 15 i to 30 pounds per acre. Moist or bottomlands: Carpet grass, 10 to 20 pounds per acre; Iospedeza 10 to 20 pounds per acre; White Dutch Clover, 2 to 5 pounds per acre. Very much interest is being shown regarding some kind of a milk plant in the county. If you are going to produce milk and make a profit at it you must have a good permanent pasture.-?rmv_ must, and better aiiil all. of your feeds, have good cows and handle them properly. There is money in dairying if you do it right, says .1. T. Benson, assistant county agent. Heath of Mr. Catoe Bethune. S. ?The entire community was shocked Monday morning, IVcember lii *. by the news of the death of a well-known citizen, Mr. Hasel H. Catoe. at the home of his son. Mr. (?. S. Catoe.

Boys, that rooster looked (powerful Ritp-y lyjng there on his back with stuffing piled all about him, and his 2 drumsticks poking up like baseball bats. He was a cross betwixt a Shanghai and an Indian game, bis ma being the former and his pa the litter.

My wife liked the floor'mop I gave her, and to make her doubly happy, I had the man slip in a dust-pan and a trash ketcher. Of course she diddent beam so much about these gifts, as she was expecting a wrist watch, but she has ?pent 22 Christmasses at my house and has learned not to look forward (with too much hope and anxiety. The tie she gave me is a deep blue base intermingled with purple, and reajly and truly (but very confidentially) I believe it is the same one she gave me42 years ago. And speaking ocf Christmas gifts: the tie Bill sent me- looks like the one I sent him last year, but the tie Dock gave me is brand new and won't unravel at the hack as easy as the one he gave me last Christ mas.
