Safe Variety of Crops On McGregor Farm ulanl^ "l>OUt 200 aCTeS ?f lttnd Wory P anted m cotton on the farms operted by and under the supervision of i? i McGregor, in the vicinity of Kuby Chesterfield county, this year. . al1 the McGregor farms about 50 Jlows are operated, 12 of them b "age labor and 38 by tenants. In iddition to ; large grain acreages, -here were planted on those farms ?1. yea, about 50 acres of tomatoes, 00 of 8 ' 00 ?f IrUh 100 Of hay crops and 40 of cabbages. "We used to advance $160 to $200 '"V" to share tenants," >ays Mr. McGregor. "The total of idvances to 38 tenants this year wts "etween $500 and $1,000, and about >nc-half of them paid out, with crops ilready marketed, before mid-sum*er All will have enough com and neat to do them. AH have poultry ?nd maintain all-year gardens and ndst of them have milk cows." The new kind of farming has proved profitable for him and those he epresents as well as for tenants, deHares Mr. McGregor. Profits have io tbeen large since the price colapse, says he, but there has been k> falling behind. The farms are not lear ready markets for the perishable Huff now produced on them in the nain. The situation was met by the letting up a cannery which absorbs nost of the produce as well as a jreat deal that is bought from farniM's not on MrrrMcGregor's places. A million cans of vegetables wee shipped from Ruby^, last year and |bout $100,000 will be received there or products thus disposed of this /ear. "Anybody can live well and become independent by farming intelligently under even present conditions n South Carolina," says Mr. McGregor. But it can't be done with a tingle product for a money crop. With land as cheap as it is now d.'ersification is easy." Makes Money On Cattle Feeding Last winter ,S. B. Knofcts, nn enter>rising farmer near North, S. C., fed 18 steers which had been shipped to lim from Tennessee. On delivery the iteers averaged 1,019 pounds each. When he shipped them away 1'20 days ater they averaged 237 pounds heaver. He got them for 6 cents a pound ind sold them for 8 cents a pound, ind made a profit of $7 a head over ?nd above a return for the feed given them. In addition there were 600 loads of compost, which alone, says Mr. Knotts, would have made the operation profitable. Mr. Knotts has thus disposed of feed nearly every year during a decade and always has found the operation profitable. He has been equally successful with hogs, having marketed as nlany as 450 in ft year. He still grovfs cotton and is 'a jh'tr ' 1* MnuBftant.. "If we wiij adapt our habits and our labor to it, cattle feeding is capable of revolutionizing farming in this section," Mr. Knotts declares. Highway patrolmen arrested 425 persons in one day in Charleston for not having drivers licenses in the car. Those not having any license paid $10 fine, and those who had licenses at home paid $5 penalty. State Senator J. C. Long grasped the political opportunity and the evening paper carried an advertisement that his law office would attend magistrate court and defend arrested persons free of charge, and that he intends to test the law. A thief robbed the collection plate of the First Baptist church at Ocala, Fla., Sunday of $45. PAINFUL, WEAK CONDITION Mrs. H. V. Skagga, of Van, Texas, writes: "A. number of years after I was married, my health was very poor. I suffered so much in my hips and shouldera. Had some 9*tn across my body.

Gm ' McGm, Copyright. 1?28. THANK you, judgk 1 .., . Woulddent it t>e fine to be lodged ' n aoUie ni<*? quiet, comfortable jail 1 or penitentiary that would run con- < current with Hoover prosperity? Of ' course?you would possibly want 10 1 be turned loose as soon as the pre*. ' ent type of prosperity ended, but youd enjoy all jail.pemtentiary com- t i?rts till then. ( If you were in prison;instead of I m debt you wouldn't be annoyed with t 11 collectors, and high taxes would I o other you for a minute, and, ,t grocery accounts would not concern ! you, nor would you be bothered with ,, drummers, telephone calls short dresses, or politics. Graft 1 on the outside, would not disturb your equanmuty or rasp your A<lam's ' Just imagine how wonderful it 1 would be to have your own private cot, and a cell-mate no better or worse an jou aie, clean linen every -Saturday night, clean clothes occasion- ' ally, running water, electric lights, 1 meals at regular hours, and plenty of '1 well-cooked food that you don't have 1 to pay for. And those guys back 1 home who always stop and tell you 1 the same old joke ey^ry day can't * get in to slobber in your face while 1 performing their so-called funny an- ! ecdotes. , i And if you get sick in jail, the I doctor visits you free of charge, and i if you cuss in jail, a preacher will i come in and pray for you and not I take up a collection, and if you dio ] in jail, your county or state has to bury you without pestering'your wife and family, with undertakers bills. 1 Tub and shower baths, plus soap and ' towels, are free and expected, and : just think of it?no community ser- ' vice or foreign mission drives are ever put on in jail. < ....Who runs for office on the ex- j terior of your walls never matters, ] and who is elected, unless he be your > new warden or guard or superintend- ] ent, should not interest you, and your mother-in-law can't get in very often ] to tell you how sorry you are and < how many tiinek your neck ought to i be broken. You don't have to listen 1 to installment agents while in jail, and the price of eggs, gasoline, to- ' bacco, flour, cotton and lingerie moan nothing to you. ....During these times of worry, trouble, notes, mortgages, bad checks, license tags and other pestilential devices, a first-class jail would be a paradise for most of us. Penitentiary coulddent possibly be any worse than trying to feed a family of 8 growing 7-cent- cotton, or a family -of 10 working for 7$, cents a day in a cotton mill. But, friends, just as soon as the democrats get back in office and adjust our troubles?so's we can make a decent living for ourselves and families, we would prefer to be free and at home?but unr.il then, doh't squawk and squirm at a respectable jail sentence. And they are making better jails and nicer penitentiaries every day. OUR DAILY THOUGHT . . . .The farmers are getting praotiI cally nothing for their tobacco thlf ?*?ar_?nnd th*v trot about the same"; last year, yet-rmanufactured tobacco is fetching extremely high prices. No wonder, about 95 per cent of our adults and semi-adults are either spitting, or puffing and blowing, or dipping .and slobbering the nasty weed. Why, the manufacturers could "Jesse James" the whole crop and still keep on boosting their prices. It's the habit that counts?plus advertising. ....Speaking of investigating committees, no doubt. Uncle Sam will appoint on? to try to find out why in the. thunder the cigarette makers raised their prcies 45 cents a thousand a few days ago. In about 2 years that committee will report as follows: "Dear Uncle' Sam: We found that the cigarette manufacturers raised their prices. If you will appropriate about $500,000.00 more, we might be able to find out something else. Yours truly, N. Vess Ti gators." ....Well, friends: we have just about finished our lily pond and rock garden. Anyone having an extra set of snails or salamanders or tad-poles, .will please communicate with us. Or if you have no insects of this kind to spare^, how about letting us have a setting of their eggs ? We understand that the city council will fill up all lily ponds that do not possess live vermin and we certainly don't want ourrs ruin't by any city council. We hauled nearly all of the rocks off of 2 farms, and now you'd think you were on the farm if you were in oabaclt yard. (Total cost f76.00. Es :imated, before construction, $12.35.) COTTON LBTTKH ....New York, Aug. 24.?The market s nothing in the world but a weather market. It looked like rain in Texas yesterday and November broke to a new low, but it did not rain in Alabama, yet ^December broke to a new low, therefore?look for future lows on dips, but don't straddle till it rains and then be careful about what you straddle. The farm board will sell Germany 1,350,000 bales on credit, and that \vould be a good thing, laid end to end. It is still possible to make a big crop regardless of the moratorium, but the government's estimate seems to be satisfactory to ill parties concerned, except the longs. ....Some of our garages have cut their prices. Up till last year, it cost $2.50 to have your jigger fixed, now you can get that same jigger fixed for $2.50. Grinding valves is $4.00. Last year it was $4.00. Adjusting carburetor now costs only $1.00. Two years ago, they charged you as much as $1.00 for the same thing. Overhauling motor today is only $25.00 and up. During the war, you had to pay $25.00 and up to have the same work done. Railroads, telephones, hospitals, politicians, tax-gatherers, electric power companies, and a few other "favored" industries have cut their rates and fees in a like manner. Kangc^ Dairy ('own Pay While having a fenced pasture on iheir fiOO -acre place, Laurie C. and I. C.
