Thie question can be answered beet perhaps by quoting from home agents' statistical annual reports for 18Wiv These reports j*how that home agents for the past year had 8,011 office calls in regard to marketing the surplus hotue products of the farm, made 1,452 visits, held 4?1 meetings, issued 148 circular letters, and published 801 news stories. The home demonstration marketing project reached 786 rural communities in the state. The market figures show that club market women are making a real business out of their market *rork. The income runs from as low aa $100 a year to over $2,000. We have records that show from 76 to 100 women earning $600 or more. An average of $60 per month has meant a great deal in supplying the family's needs. Marion county: One of the producers, Mrs. J. C. Floyd, sold over $1,000 worth of produce at the market. She said three barns of tobacco brought only $18, so she ia happy over the opportunity to make the family expenses each week with the sale of ?ream, milk, cake, vegetables and flowers. Florence county: In tho nine months that Mrs. E .E. McGill kept records her sales amounted to $457.86. This was mostly milk and poultry produces. Mrs. Robert Marlee" sold from September 1, 1930, to September 1, 1931, $2,216.11. Beaufort county: Seven women earned a total of $224.64 on the club market for the month of April, or an average, of $32.09 each. Darlington county: There was an average of 50 women selling on the market during the past year. Seven women had sales amounting to $4,294.00, an average above $500. The secretary of the Hartsville market, Mrs. Folsom, states that Mrs. Otis Hicks .sold $61.38 during June, selling quantities of choice vegetables and cakes and Mts. R. L. Ousley has sold for the past six months $390.02, an average income of $65 per month. She sells cake, vegetables, butter and cream. Kershaw county: During the yenr products sold through the club market amounted to $1,269.69, an averuge of a little Wure than $100 per month. Value of other products sold by the Home Demonstration Club women are as follows: Dairy products, $1,690.50; fruits and vegetables, $1,242.80; poultry products, $4,425.93 (this does not include poultry car shipments); miscellaneous products, $450.30. Total sales for club women in Kershaw county for the past year are $9,079.49. Much marketing has been done in all the 46 counties in the state which is shown by the following: (These figures are taken from the home J demonstration agents' annual reports) jClub markets, $94,20G.24j general sales, $52,466; cream stations, $2,445.33; carlot shipments, $165,999.18.

The supreme court or^ dered the defendants to show cause why the aale of any assets should not await the report of the examiners. *, t' Greater Poultry Production Needed A ?tudy of 1030 census revemU tho need for greater poultry production in every county in the State. There was a decrease in the number of chicks hatched and told to our people during the spring of 1031. , Thin shows that at present the average flocks are much smaller than they should be in order to meet the economic nutritional needs of our people. At the beginning of the new year when we are planning the household and farm activities let's plan to do some early poultry work while there are not so many other activities pressing. Then, too, we can realise some ready cash*from early broilers at the time of year whop other caeb products are scarce. Broilers can be developed*at a minimum cost if one builds an inexpensive brooder house with clay floor. Use a brick brooder with wood fuel and feed the chicks on a home mixed, all-mash ration. Plans for making j this brooder may be secured fromj the office of the'county home and farm agents. Miss Juanita Neely, poultry specialist from Winthrop College, reSbramenda the following ration: All-mash with dried milk.?100 lb. yellow corn meal; 25 lb. wheat bran; 25 lb. wheat middlings or 50 lb. shorts; 25 lb. meat scraps; 6% lb. dried butter milk; 19i lb. salt. All-mash with liquid milk.?100 lb. yellow cprn, 25 lb. wheat bran; 25 lb. wheat middlings or 50 lb. shorts; 12% lb. meat scraps; 1% lb. salt; skim milk (sweet or sour) available at all times. * Get chicks in direct sunshine when two or three weeks old or add 1 quart of tested cod-liver oil to each 100 pounds of feed. The above ration gives splendid results and no change is made until chicks are teh "weeks old and ready for market. This "all-mash" system of feeding greatly simplifies the routine and reduces labor. There is no daily schedule of feeding at time intervals, nor is it necessary to limit tho amount of food as the chicks will not overeat. The disadvantage of this system is that it elim'.,ates the necessity of frequent visits to the brooder house which affords opportunity to keep watch of chicks. All chicks require close attention. The main thing to consider is to provide liberal hopper'feeding space, at least two inches per chick and more as they grew in s'zeKarly broilers should be purchased early?about the middle of January. These can be sold in 10 or 12 weeks and then more chicks raised from which to save majority of your fall pullets, advises Miss Sadie B. Craig, county home demonstration agent. i Highway traffic was virtually abamloned and railway traffic greatly hampered in the flood stricken area in tho Clendora, Miss., sector ocn Wednesday, due to torrential rains sending the rivers to high peaks.

When a man talks about losing money in a busted bank just before he tries to commit suicide, what shall the careful reporter believe? To find out, read on in The Marion Star. Last week, in the story of the threatened suicide of Mr. J. H, Johnson, local meat cutter, it seems that we made several unintentional errors. In the first place we sta^pd that "the unfortunate man, who is said to have had some money in the recently closed Bank o>f Nichols, seemed to lose his balance* * *." The Bank of Nichols, through its president, Mr. B. B. Elvington, informs us that Mr. Johnson did not have any money in that bank when it closed, and Mrs. J. H. Johnson, gives us the same information, adding that Mr. Johnson "may have thought 90." The source of our information was Mr. Johnson, himself, who told the editor of the Star, a few days before his threat to kill himself that "I have lost all my money in the Bank of Nichols." We regret this error, but had no reason to doubt the statement of Mr. Johnson at the time. Anpther error was in the headline used over the article wherein we stated "Local Butcher Attempts Suicide," whereas Mr. Johnson was a meat-cutter?not a butcher. When originally written our headline was "Local Meat Cutter Attempts I Suioide," but when our copy reached the linotype machine the operator in formed the editor, that "the first line will not go in 24 point type."' We therefore converted "Kent Cutter" \ into "Butcher," thereby saving three leOtere and a spec??and the line wee filled. Oif course thia it Greek to the layman, but we intended no alur against Mr. Johnson when we referred to him as a "butcher," when *9 & matter of fact he was a meat cutter. | Certainly, in quoting Johnson about him money affairs , we did not intend to reflect upon a bank, and the gnly offense that we have committed, A of which we are now cognisant, was in adjusting words to fit a head-line. After all there is not a great difference b?tv^n a meat c^itteV and a , j butcher, ariii only sUpiwrT^naitive people could take offense at the adjust- j ment we made in oqr hasrte,?Yorkville Enquirer. In his annual budget message to the New York legislature, Governor Roosevelt is asking appropriations totaling $261,291,114 for the year 1932-33 and also- calling for.the doubling of the personal income tax this '-*3 year and next. The proposed budget is $16,000,000 lees than that of last year. ? When a small package arrived at Naples, Italy, from .the United States, the postal clerks became suspicious that it was a bomb addressed to the .king. The package was carried, to a field and carefully opened by experts. -j Inside was an American fifty cents piece, dated 1832, witji a note from . % Modestino De Rosa, Newark* New |j Jersey. "I send you this coin, 100 , years old, in token of my affection," ' wrote the sender.

Two weeks salary is due with payment refused* of postponed. PRICE REDUCED 1 " ' .
