Hartwvllle, in the mind* of Camden's football team and ^>ecftatfort?, ajways puts out one of the cleaned moat sportsmanlike teams on Camden's schedule and it is always ? pleasure to play bhem. Nichols, the dashing little halfback, played a whiz of a game in the b??h" ftekd and so did Ferguson and West. Soger a played jam-up football in the line and did some nice punting for the visitors. M N For Camden, Haynes, Sanders, Team and Thompson made some nice runs. The center of Camden's line pi'dbod justly strong but Hartsville made some very nice runs, circling the end zone very frequently. Camden's first touchdown came m the first quarter when Haynes 4circled left end for the initial acor?. The second score came in the same period when Sanders took the ball on a dazzling fake play around, right end for 81 yards and a touchdown. The interference was perfect. In the second quarter, Team, substitute for Thompson,' after several, nice downs, drove over right tackle for n score. The last touchdown came up the third quarter after a 22-yard pass from Thompson to Sanders put the ball on Hartsville's 5-yard line.

The Feed Situation I Stated By Economist Clemnon Collwr*. Oct. 8-~"'lh""' South Carol i?? farmer* who <h> not have onouah grain to meot their needs in livestock food* for the year wil probably And it economical to plant winter grains to supplement their supply next summer," sa>? O. M. Clark, extension agricultural economist, discussing the feed situation. The needs for feeds ln^h? .r. as a whole and In Sooth Carolina are not very different, he think*, from the need* of the previous four or five year*. There are fuwer horse* ?nd mule* but more cattle and probably more hog*. *T?u?l "Feed supplies for the Unite States are greater this year than la* vear" Mr. Olark say* in analyzing | the feed situation. "The corn crop is about 11 per cent larger than last year's and about niffe per cent greater than the five-year average. The combined supply of ^ feed Srain? about 13 per cent' greater than l*st year's *upply and about seven per cent larger than the Avevyear average. Tho indications are th^t the by product feeds (mill feeds, shorts, wheat bran, cottonseed meal, 8?y^"" meal) will be less this year than, usual. If a normal amount of thi year's cotton seed crop is cru^e^ tho supply of cottonseed meal will be about 30 per cent less than last year and about 23 per cent less than the five-year average. However, the carry-over .of cottonseed meal is larger than usual, hence tho total supply available will be about 12 per cent less than the five-year average. The hay crop is about nine per cent greater than last year but about seven per cent less than the five-year average. "In South Carolina the supply of ! grains is smaller and that of hay larger than normal. The indicated com crop is about 22 per cent less than last year and about 11 per cent smaller than the five-year average. The total supply of all feed grains is about 20 per cent less than last year and about seven per cent less than average. The state's hay crop, however, is about 13 per cent greater than last year and 27 per cent larger than the five-year average. The greater supply of feed grains far the United States probably means lower average prices relatively tor these grains. But since transportation costs remain high compared with grain costs, the prices of grains in deficit areas will probably be relatively higher as compared with the ' average prices for the whole country. ; Hence the suggestion to plant winter grains." MR. HOOVER IS BOOED i Farm Folks.of Iowa Stage Big Demonstration 1 " . I Des Moines, la.?Men and women | from Iowa's farms braved a bleak October day Wednesday to flaunt their discontent in a mile-long protest parade along the route decorated for President Hoover's home-coining paI rade. . . ; The demonstration, starting hali| heartedly, grew like a rolling snowball and before it ended there were some 2,500 participants. Shouting, j jeering, hooting and joking by turns, I the farm folk staged a colorful and tumultuous expression of their dissat^ Lisfaetion with the administration's handling of farm problems, j When the parade passed und^r a huge painting of the president, hun| dreds shouted derisively. "Don't tell us what you're going to do; tell us why you don't do somei thing for us," a tall man in a sheepI skin coat shouted. "Come down here and we'll show | you a thing or two," came another (cry. And another: "You won't get i our votes, Herbie." The serious sidfe of their story was told by the banner the farmers had tacked to their trucks. A few typical ones were: | "In Hoover we trusted; now we are ' busted." 1 "Mr. Curtis: We are not so damned j dumb in 1032?signed, Mr. and Mrs. I Iowa Farmer." "Hoover. Hyde.
