Wlnnsboro. June.?Preston Tlmms,
Fairfield county farmer, has scored a
fine record of feeding government
wheat to hogs at. a fancy price of
$2.66 per bushel, according to records
in the office of County Agent R. H.
Lemmon.
Tlmms had 17 pigB which ho started
fe<*dlng when they were two months
old. making use of government wheat
purchased cooperatively by Fairfield
farmers through the county farm
agent's help. He sold the pigs when
they were 5 3-4 months old, so the
feeding period was 110 days.
The plgH made g<xxl gains, and
when sold they averaged 197 pounds.
The wheat they consumed brought
Tlmms the fancy price of $2.66 per
bushel, which gave him a labor Income
of $140 96. So this former 4-H
club member is putting Into practice
the 1 11 motto. "Make the Ix-st better."
and Is making a contribution to
the war effort by producing pork.

Merchants Still
Lead As League
Race Tightens Up
With the first half of schedule of
the Camden softball league coming to
a close on Friday, June 26, the race
has become a close one with the
Merchants holding a lead over the
second place Kendalls by a one game
margin.
Following the Monday night game
between the Instructors and Maintalnence
teams the league standing
was as follows:
Merchants?won 7, lost 1.
Kondalls?won 6, lost 2.
Army?won 4, lost 4.
Maintainence?won 4. lost 5.
Instructors?won 3, lost 6.
Homo Guard?won 1. lost 7.
The Merchants were scheduled to
play the Home Gurads Wednesday
and with the way the Nolan team Is
going It appeared a cinch for them
to take this game. The Kendalls,
one game behind the Merchants, battle
a fast stepping Army team Friday
night. The issue of this contest is a
tossup. In the last week of action
in the first half the Kendalls will
have a chance at the honors aB they
battle the Maintainnece team and
should win The Merchants, however,
meeting the Instructors Wednesday
night will be favorites over the flyers
and should maintain their leadership
in this lap battle. The first half
closes with the Army meeting the
Home Guard on Friday, June 25.
Last Friday evening the Army and
Instructors hooked up In a brilliant
battle with the Army through the
good pitching of Schnell, winning 8
'to 5. On Monday evening hte Instructors
mauled the Maintainence team
12 to 6.

to tin announcement by the authorities
at the Army Air Forces Proving
Ground Command tit Fglin Field. Fla.

Increases In military and business
travel. It is therefore imperative
that civilians who can stay on
trains and busses do so."?Joseplb M.
KMtman, director. Office of Defense
Transportation.
"Although the railroads have performed
and are performing miracles
with the equipment they have, they,
ure fast approaching their physical
limitations. They must have additional
equipment, particularly locomotives.
If they are to continue to
supply fully the wants of this \r&nBportation
consuming ^itlon. I can thin a
of no more advantageous allocation of
steel than one that will insure the
arrival on the battlefrout of armament,
food and clothes. In fact, It
takes railroads to deliver the materials
that go into the manufacture of
the engines of war in the first place.
If our railroads fall, our entire worldwide
military effort falls. We might
suffer military reverses, and still win
this war. But we can't avoid defeat
should our railroads fall."?Hon J.
Monroe Johnson, member, Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Railroad statistics show that the
average soldier takes six train rides,
exclusive of furlough, In the period
betwoeh his induction and his ultimate
embarkation. Furthermore, du|S
lag that period, his equipment must
be assembled from all over the country,
and be must be fed. After his
embarkation, the supply problem continues.
A constant stream of freight
cars must arrive at ports dally with
food and equipment for transportation
abroad.
We have heard from the start of
this emergency that transportation
would be a bottleneck?the facilities
could never carry the load, but although
this load has contantly Increased,
and with limited new facilities,
the load has been carried.
Labor-Saving
Hints For Farmers
Schnectady. N. Y?Hints of how
the farm labor shortage problem may
be attacked "by using the labor you
have as efficiently as possible," were
given by J. E. Carrigan. dean of the
College of Agriculture at the University
of Vermont. Burlington, in a General
Electric Farm Forum address
here.
Here are some suggestions Dean
Carrigan has for farmers:
Watch your neighbors. Each one
of your neighbors is probably doing
something more efficiently than you.
Plan ahead, figuring how to get
things done before necessity Compels
them to be done
Have important things to do. ready
and waiting for the next rainy day.
Keep needed machinery and equipment
in repair.
Borro wand lend out to neighbors.
Exchange not only tools and machinery,
but exchange work also.
Use tractors and other power equip-;
ment on a constant basis.
Use make-Shift machinery, such as
"doodle bug" tractors, made from old
cars.
Arrange barns and use labor-saving
devices to cut the time of doing
chores and other work.
