Ju&t Llk« a M«mK^*r of th« Family” BARNWELL. SOUTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY, AUGUST ItTH, 1»1«. The county farm and home demon stration agents held a joint rally of the Boys’ Corn Clubs and the Girls’ Canning Clubs at Barnwell on Fri- day.^ The meeting was quite a suc cess, more than a hundred persons . having attended the interesting exer- day. Each morning session will be opefled with devotional exercises, and each evening session will be opened with *a song service. These services will be conducted by J. D. Huggins. The sessions will adjourn and reassemble* at the pleasure of the convention, according to circumstan cises. The town of Barnwell extend ed the courtesies of the Circle and Col. H. D. Calhoun welcomed the club members in his usual generous man ner. He presided over the meeting and introduced the speakers. The first speaker was Mr. W. R. Elliott, State Demonstrator, who stressed the importance of soil build ing. He pointed out the necessity of being ready for the advent of the boll weevil. Mr. Elliott is a South Caro linian. His heart is in his work for the welfare 6f his people and he is a pleasant and convincing speaker. He will be in this county at short inter vals during the coming season in the interest of legume planting and stock raising. Mr. H. G. Boylston, county demon- strator, followed with an appeal for planting of legumes. His talk ^AVh short was excellent. The best ^HTx of his speech, however, was made ^^Hittle later to a small audience of friends as he pictured to thyn the farm home for himself towards which he is working. One could almost see cows and hogs and chickensj the J? p fields covered with pea. and%;ivet+ IW,,0r ' beans, the rye and vetch and clover peeping out from under the occasional winter snow.His work stand is in deed to be a beauty spot and one feels sure he will attain it, and understands the enthusiasm of one of his club boys who told of Mr. Boylston’s visit to him “right out in the field." Col. Calhoun rightly introduced Mias Nellie Ray as the pride of the County. Miss Nellie made a few well chosen remarks, declaring that she was a doer and not a talker. She proved this by having an exhibit a miniature iceless refrigerator w'Th thermometers inside and out to te»t iU efficiency. In a short tit.e the in side thermometer registered eight de grees lower than the outside one. Mis? Nellie had brought some fireless cook er stones to be delivered, and she and Mrs. Faust, another much loved Barn well girl who is now demonstrator foi Bamberg County, gave a demonstra tion in canning. Beans and tomatoes were canned right there and* for beauty of pack could not be excelled. No one doubts that the excellency of the goods ex ceeded even their appearance. Mr. C. C. Cleveland, State poultry agent, arrived on the midday train and made a helpful talk on feeding and marketing poultry. After the work of the morning, the visitors picnicked on the grass and a pleasant sight it was. Altogether the day was delightful. Some of the town « ple will want to move out in the ntry after awhile and live as the Lunate farmers do. Annual Meeting Will Be Held in Barnwell Beginning Aug. 30th.

He took the printed platform of his opponent and showed the voters where prac tically everything advocated therein has already been passed by Congress. He was loudly applauded at the con clusion of his speech. When Col. Alvin Etheredge arose to speak many of the crowd left and only a small number heard the Sa luda man. Col. Etheredge made a very good address and received some applause when he concluded. A very large majority of the crowd, however, was clearly in sympathy with the pres ent incumbent and unless all signs fail there is no disposition whatever this year to make a change.

Bog ton, county demonstration agent, a the genera] practice of stripping pulling fodder ia impraabcahla i unprofitable, and gives the follow reasons why this ia so: The corn yield where the f odder I been stripped is cut to such amo that, the loss in money value of corn over-balances the value of fodder pulled. The cost of labor for pulling fofi is lost. Also if seed corn is selected ft corn where the fodder has h stripped it is found that the seed t be lowered in vitality and germis ing power, thereby cutting the yi of corn. Now, the thing to do is to prows above to your own satisfaction. Fi when you go to atrip your fad this year, leave a strip of one a through the middle of the field i stripped. Then in the faH, gad and weigh the corn from a separately from the other and a one acre that has been stripped fodder. Then you can see for ya self the increase in yield. Also select some seed corn from plot on which the fodder has beon lowed to remain and soma from acre from which the fodder baa h pulled. Plant these seed in plate i by side the next year and yon will the different values of ths seed. Now to supply deficiency in rug age to feed stock, plant boom am cane and more and better grail hay. Then you will'have no fodder. ' Mr. and Mrs. M. DT Mrs. H. A. ^tailings < ter, GeyacH, a Misses Estelle < torad dawn to Cawob After down to Mr. os
