FIRST Drastic curtailment of acreage efficiently organized in each County and Township SECOND i t .‘C Holding the balance of this crop until the demand from foreign and American spinners improves. The world believes that the present effort to reduce the acreage in cotton .will provei abortive like efforts in ‘previous years have. The farmer never had the answer to the prospective price of spot cotton in his own possession like he has today. It is up to the farmer to show the world that he can be just as much a business man as any banker, merchant or manufacturer. FARMERS OF COLLETON: w e call upon you to heed the warning.

Colleton county has the honor of being one of five counties to send a report to the Publicity Committee at Washington to be used in introducing the work in other states. The committee wrote that It was one of the best reports re. ceived and now that we are beginning the year of 1919 I want It to" be with the determination on the part of eaci one to make H the most succeaaful year we’ve had. Thia will make the fourth year for quite' a number of girla in the work, and those having done the work credit*, bly will receive diplomas. 'ntese diplomas will really mean some thing as credit is given for them at college. Our aims for 1919 are high nnd wp ,kall all have to work Mivether to reach them hut I am sure that we shall do it. This year 'we are to put special emphasis on sewing in the caoning and poultry Hubs. To wine extent v this has been taught before for the gills have made their caps and aprons but this year tb*/ work will be standarized and made man beneficial to the girls. Les_ r.ons will be given in (he canning and poultry clubs during the sprin : months and we want to have ai leps; four lessons, teaching the girls plai-t sewing and embroidering of such things as te* napkins etc We all knowgthat the tenth acre gardening and canning work among the giris is the foundation of the home demonstration work among the woniej and more attention will be given these plots, this year. We hope to have u larger enrollment ! than ever heft re. Special attention i will also be paid tr» marketing these canned goods. » If there are any methbers with a supply on hand ; the number of cans and kind,'to me } that they wish to^sell pl**ase report ajt Walterboro or* Khrhardt and I shall find a sale. Increased quality production Is also urged both among the girls aa l ( boys and the women. We want *.«» brljig before the people as never be^ fore the necessity of early hatching, preserving eggs In water glass, awaiting the rooster after the hatch- ) ing season and cutting the non- 1 producers. With poultry product* bringing such a splendid price thi« work will be found more profitably than ever.
