RIGGS, PRESIDENT and Peed Crops fer Landlords, Tenants, and Livestock. That was a signal honor conferred upon Col. Edgar A. Brown, of Barn well, at the State Democratic Con vention in Columbia last week when he was elected as Chairman of the State Executive Committee. Taking the position, that this is the day of the young man, the Convention elects ed Mr. T. Frank Watkins, of Ander son, as President of the Convention v and Col. Brown as Chairman of the Executive Committee. Both of these gentlemen are in their early thirties. Col. Brown is probably the youngest man ever elected to that important position—certainly the youngest that has been elected in recent years- and we congratulate mm on the fact that the Democrats of the State have recognised what this scribe has known for quite some time,—that his ability is shove the average. The People predicts s bright future for him. To quote the words of M/. August Kohn, of Columbia, in a dispatch to the News and Courier duhng the last session of the legislature, “this young man, Edgar Brown, is to be reckoned with." The editor of Th«* Peoole is glad to have had the honor of being a dele gate to the first State Convention in which women enjoyed equal rights with men Inasmuch as he is not a candidate for political preferment, he run say this without fear of being charged with flatteimg the ladies in an effort to win their support .time of them took quite an active part in the deliberations of the t'oovent ion and the interval thus shown augurs well for the political future of.the Mote, fer it la our opraion that they are going to hove a While not a dufegete |» the Ktate (Vmwewtiaa, the Hon 3 Emile Harley soys that he was a very important figure at that gathering last meek.

A surrey which was made of South Carolina In 1920 rersals the fact that this state does not produce enough syrup to sup ply the needs of the rural population of the state by something like 3,000,- 000 gallons; that there la a deficit of wheat more than 8,000,000 bushels, of bay of over 900,000 tons, of hogs of 229,000; and that we do not bare dairy cattle enough in the state to supply the needs of the rural population ade quately by 240,000. It was iound also that there were a number of counties in the state which did not produce corn enough to supply the home needs. All of these things can be grown at horns much more cheaply Ufan they can be purchased from other sections, and producing them should not Intarfere with the production of Maple cash ciops but should round out a wall balanced cropping system. On any farm on which n good rotation to followed for the purpose of building up the fertility fo the land and main taining n system of diversified agri culture. nil of ttaeee crops can be grown economically and to good ad vantage Provide A Good All-Yeer Heme Garde*.—On every self-supporting term the all year"' vegetable garden, be this large or saisll to one of the loading eonrres of food supply, and therefore to of first importance and of Indtepenaable value In fnct. with eehary to buy tankage.

Such birds eonsume much feed but hara-aot the laying ability behind them. For general farm conditions, the dual purpose^ breeds are the most pop ular. Plymouth, Wyandotte, and Rhode Island Reds are the most popular and from records pppear to give the most favorable results. The egg type such as the Leghorns are In favor among poultrymen because of the great egg- producing ability. Whe% starting in with the farm flock on# should be sure to obtain some purebred stock, especially pure bred males. Purebred stock produces a greater number of eggs, a more uni form product, makes possible the sell ing of eggs for batching, and creates a greater interest in poultry.. Stan dard products command a better price on the market and net n greater finan cial return. Develop the Hog Industry as Farm Conditions Justify.—The meat bill is one of the biggest items in the gro cery bill of the average South Caro lina family. It will take four hogs averaging 159 pounds each to supply pork for the average family of fire. Twenty-seven counties in South Caro lina are not producing suffllcent pork to feed the rural population. All feeds for bogs, save possibly a ^ttle tankage, should be home grown.

The milk cows should be pastured on tlje culti vated fields ia the fall when possible and can not be undertaken profitably by every farmer, there is no doubt that South Carolina should produce a larger percentage of its beef.

About 35 shade trees were uprooted and several residences slightly damaged by trees being blown across them. Dr. C. B. Roy’s automobile was damaged in like manner. Part of the roof was blown off Cleveland Morris’ store. Part of a skylight was blown from the Rizer Automobile company’s garage and the front glass broken. •C. H. Brabham’s car was carried up the street as if being driven at a rapid speed and the top was taken off by tbe wind. Doubtless considerable damage was early spring. The fnifk cows should be bred only to purebred bulls of a dairy breed. The cheapest means of insuring the service of a good bull for a few cow’s is to organise a dairy bull association among neighbors. This means the cheap pasture land *, are available, or on farms where large amounts of rough feeds are prodeed, beef cattle raising wilj yield a good income to the man who will give it his attention. Oqly well bred stock should be kept.
