two SOUTHERN FARMERS SOON INDEPENDENT Growing Enough Foodstuffs to Support Their Families and Tenants I PURCHASERS OF MEAT DECREASING STEADILY Hundrdes of Farmers Pledge to Raise Everything Needed at Home. Washington?Southern farmers are planting sufficient foodstuffs io make them independent of all outside purchases and will devote the remainder of their soil to raising as much cotton as can be made with the labor available, according to reports today to the Southern Cotton A if ion ? Despite the shortage of help caused ny^thr migration of negroes to Northern Statekv-t\ie reports said farmers were increasing* their acreage of food stuffs, especially grains, and were growing more meat animals'." Colonel Harvie Jordan, president of the association, said Georgia's purchase ol pork from the West in 1914 was $40,000,000. In 1917 it had decreased to $14,000,000, and Colonel Jordan predicted that this year it would be less than $10,000,000, and that in 1919 the State would raise all the pork it consumed, perhaps contributing a surplus to the supplies needed for the? amy and the allies. Purchases of other meats also have declined as the home production increased. Pledges to grow everything their families and tenants need in the way of foodstuffs have been made by hundreds of farmers in-the South. They fcuve boon encouraged for patriotic reasons by town and city merchants regardless of the loss of trade which the merchants might suffer. !

The army recruiting station in Columbia has received orders from the department in Washing-ton asking that many men be enlisted as railroad construction and ODeratine- encineers. The annual dinner given by the extension department of Clemson College to the winners in the boys' corn and pig clubs of the State will b? held at the Jefferson Hotel in Columbia on the evening of April 2(5. The annual debate of the upper South Carolina debating league between Erskine College and Furman University was won by Furman. In what proved to be one of the best games of the season, the University of South Carolina defeated Erskine College by a score of 4 to 3 last week. The South Carolina High School Debating League will hold its final contest for the selection of the be .t team in the State in the chapel of tho university Saturday evening, April 27. A South Carolina man sold 2,330 bales of cotton the other day at 30 cents and a fraction a pound. Dropping the fraction, this totals up some $352,500. Quite a snug little sum ? about $215,000 more than he would have got for it at ten cents a pound, once the ideal and dream of the col ton growers.?The State. The State of South Carolina has taken another significant step in the fight against venereal disease. The executive committee of the State boalxl of health, at its meeting at Aiken on April 15, adopted comprehensive health regulations on this subject. It is expected that the fu1! text of the regulations will be given out by Dr. James Adams Hayne. POINTS TO EMPHASIZE IN SELECTING HOGS. In selecting hogs either for breeding or feeding there are some point* to which one should give special attention. The question of breed Is largely a matter of personal preference, however, one should consider the popularity or demand for what he proposes to breed. Cliooje a breed that has proved a good one?there are several ?then select stock that are as true tc type as you can get. Constitution is of vital importance. It Is natural that animals of strong constitution have better appetites; animals that give the most economical and rapid gains are the ones that eat freely. Indications of constitution are large heart-girth and a broad, wellshaped head. Body capacity Is another essential, though it is very commonly lacking in hogs. Body capacity is found in the animal that has plenty of "stretch"? good length, depth and breadth. Insist, on quality which is indicated by the nair and bone especially, and the general finish and refinement of the animal as a whole. When a hoar is to be selected, look for the points already mentioned and in addition select an individual that is strong in masculinity and the characteristics of the breed he represents. If a brood sow. look for femininitv together with the points mentioned. Experienced breeders place much stress on pronounced sex characteristics as they are intimately associated with prepotency and regularity in breeding. R. L. SHIELDS. T - 1 A1 O jan. 2it lain.

K napp o There is more Catarrh in this sotion of the country than all other discuses put together, and for years it was supposed to be incurable. Doctors prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Catarrh is a local disease, greatly influenced by. constitutional conditions and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Medicine, manufactured by P. ,T.

As the population of South Carolina shows an increase and the! conditions in the State are normal,. the only conclusion to arrive at, Is I that the Doctors and mid-wives are J not reporting- the births they attend, j Please warn all the Doctors and mid-wives in your township, that it" they do not report promptly all births ! they attend, to the Local Registrar >f district in which births occur, on the fifth of each month, that they will be prosecuted. If after this warning they are still negligent, go before a magistrate and swear out a warrant for Doctor or mid-wife, and make the offender show cause why they disregard the Vital Statistics Law. Tell the Doctors, that'they not only break a law of the State, but by neglecting to register a birth, they are doing an injustice to the child theyj assist in bringing into the world. In.' years to come a man or woman may want to prove the date of their birth and name of parents. If the Doct wrj has been negligent in his duty, this cannot be done.
