Home Demonstration
Marketing Activities
Are homo demonstration agents
helping farm to add to the
family income? 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;

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.

TRIALS 'OF PROVINCIAL KRITOR
The Trouble? of t (Specially Good One
at Marion Brought to ,Light
The triala and tribulation* of the
provincial newspaper editor who foolishly
triea to please everybody and
tinge the news of the week to satisfy
th^ family and friends of the deceas|
ed, or the convicted defendant, or the
I indicted prominent citizen, is illus11rated
by a half column in The
Marion Star, which at this distance
jis funny. - o
When is a meat cutter a butcher,
iVjibel to confuse those two
trades?
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. When
Genel Kuhn, third grade
student, moved,-etrtrof the school district
in tJror heart of the Wichita
mountains, in Oklahoma, the .school ^
closed, as he was the only pupil.
The payment of Spaittahburg county
teachers has been stopped, and the
county board will meet soon to try to
raise money to pay them for the rest
of this year. Two weeks salary is
due with payment refused* of postponed.
