The 3 F's?Food, Feed and
Fertility.
Clarence Poe figures out aht cot- 1
ton in 1920 is safe only as a sur- 1
plus crop, a prop to be grown on the 1
surplus acres after the 3 F's- -Food, <
Feed and Fertility, are fully provid- 1
ed for. The four money crops which 1
he suggests arc cotton, Potatoes, <
Kay and Hogs. Speaking of hogs, 1
two big Packing Houses are operat- <
ing here in Wilmington, making a 3
.Land Market for all the hogs and
cattle that will be grown in South 1
Carolina in the next five years. It 1
may not be generally known but
statistics show that so many brood 1
sow8 have been sent to the slaughter
houses in the United States dur,
ing the recent slump in the hog
market that there are less brood '
sow8 in the country now than have ,
been for many years. This means a j
I shortage of meat next year and con- j
sequently high prices "for hogs. .
Conditions were never better for ]
the Horry County farmer to get into (
the pork producing game than now. ,
In fact the sensible farmer cannot
well remain out of it. There is no
reason why a hundred carloads of |
hogs cannot be sent out of the
* County next fall and winter, bringing
back more cash for the amount,
of labor expended than any other
crop. In producing meat as well j
as any other crop we should try to j
produce the most pounds with least ]
possible expense of labor and cost. <
It's just as easy to make a 2~>0 to ]
300 pound hog at 9 or 10 months ,
age as to make orte weighing 60 to j
TK nmin/l<s if vnii hw?nrl fnr it. I
" *? ,
The greatest mistake a new be- '.
ginncr makes when he engages in
the business of raising improved ,
breeds is the selection of his foun- \
Nation stock. He frequently consid- ?
ers ptjjflp only and wants to know (
what the least money that will buy ^
a hog. Perhaps in the same breath
he will say that scrub animals do j
not pay, that he is selling his scrubs (
and will only buy improved stock, <
and forgets that while he is trying .
to get away from low prices he is t
trying to buy the lowest priced ani- j
mal he can find. The Bible says: j
4,Men do not gather figs from thistles,
as ye sow so ^hall yc -eap." {
Always remember that like produc- i
es like, and that the man "Breeding ?
the best animals makes more {
money than the man who produces j
poorer kind. This is a great big,',
rich and prosperous country. Farmery
are able to buy any thing they
w&v^Tand they have money to pay j
nnw fViincf thnxr want Thow ViAs:
^een a gain in live stock values in j
the United States in the past 12 f
months of 546 million dollars, this (
means on the farms of the United ,
L States. How much of that gain is
W in Horry County? The first time 1 (
? rode down the Conway Branch some (
W ^ears a?? T remarked to a stranger ,
*vho sat beside me that this looked
like a fine stock Country. The,
rtranger happened to be a Clemson
College professor. He replied, that
this section has greater raising
<^untry than any section he knew
rf. Are we ready to take advantage
ef ctmpitions. |
A bhnker in this City told me a
few days ago that they arc ready
It finance as many piclub boys
i'S would start in with purebred
hogs in this country showing the
T?pnfcp faith in hog raising. Start
\ ita good foundation stock and you

SERMANTToiT
IN MEXICAN ARMY
El Paso, Texas.?At least two Germans
were fighting in the Mexican
irmy on August 27, 1918, at Noga
cs, according to the testimony of
"apt. Frederick T. Herman of the
Eighth cavalry, before the senate
subcommittee investigating the Mex
ican situation.
He said their bodies were f^und
miong %he Mexicans killed.
Captain Herman, a lieutenant col
mel commanding at Nogales at the
time of the fight, denied the official
statement of the Mexican command31*
that the Mexican force was composed
of civilians.
The investigation of the action and
incidents preceding it, he said indicated
clearly that most of the Mexicans
engagod were soldiers, although
\ majority wore civilian clothes,
?nd that fighting had been planned
*nd was directed by their commanding
officer and his assistants. The
American casualties were five killed
Vi;dd 3i wounded. Three civilians
also were killed and five wounded.
The Mexican losses were not learnv
sd but the United States army intelligence
reports were submitted to
show the Mexicans buried at least
115.
Much of the testimony was take.i
in executive session. It hud to do
with the forced evacuation of the
Mormon colonies in Chihuahua. The
committee also learned details of the
efforts made by American miliatry
authorities to have brought to trial
Lieut. Juan Azpeitia for the murder
o" David Troib, an American soldier
on December 28, 1918. He was killed
on the Mexican side near El
Paso.
Negotiations resulted in three exnminntmns

NEAR EAST FUND
IN HORRY COUNTY
Closing with a magnificent union
meeting of all congregations at the
Methodist church in Conway on Sunday,
Feb. 15th, the campaign to
raise $2,000.00 as Horry's quota of
the Near East Relief Fund was completed
most successfully. The county
has oversubscribed its quota, and
later returns will increase this figure
to a degree.
At Conway $1 390 was subscribed,
and $50 was sent to the Chairman
this week as a result of the meeting;
at Wampee $330.00 was subscribed;
at Little River $159.60; at
I.oris $396.75, making a total subscription
for the county of $2,326.35.
Those in charge of the movement
in thjs county limited their efforts
to four public meetings at which
graphic and stirring addresses "*were
delivered by N. A. Boyajian, Armenian
law student of the Univer
sity 01 oouui Carolina. mi*, tsoyajian
in addrescs at Little River, Loris,
Wampee and Conway moved his
hearers deeply and generous offerings
were the result. The entire
campaign occupied only three days
and resulted in the material oversubscription
of the quota.
Horry is one of the first counties
of the State to . go over the top and
considerable local pride is being
felt in that fact. .

An experienced tobacco man from
the North West was here in Conway'

people of'Horry County were inde-j

That here were the best tobacco1
lands to toe found anywhere, and in
fact lands the like of which for th^j
production of a certain grade of leaf

other sections of the world; that the.
land is worth in the course of tim j

weevil which might put cotton raising
out of business, that the farmers
of Horry County are independ

He also said that tobacco is something
for which there is a growing
demand across the water and that
the people are fighting for it over

Dock Tanner, a mechanic, who had *\
been employed at the Nicholas Gar- 1
age in automobile repair work for J
fhe last several months, went away c
on the early train )a>t Wednesday I
morning. After he left a warrant r
was sworn out on charges that he i
had collected a sum of money some
where about $100.00 and had not ao 1
counted for this cash before he left, t
It was also stated that he had no? ]
paid his board bill which had been v
running for about two months and
charges were 'made on this ground. t
When the papers were placed with <
the Sheriff he sent telegrams to j I
several cities asking the authorities J ]
1;o arrest and hold Tanner until he j 1
could send and feet him. The Sheriff (
was informed Thursday that Tanner ]
had been arrested in Columbia and r
was being held awaiting his arrival. <

case, found that the charges were
probably not well founded and be- .
came responsible for any arrears of ]

VIGOROUS PROTEST
TO PROPOSED SALE
By Shipping Board of Thirty
Former German Liners?
Sharp Debate in Senate
"Washington, Feb. 13.?Vigorous
opposition to shipping board for the
sale of thirty former Gel-man passenger
liners broke out in the
Senate today, expressed in sharply
critical debate and presentation of
several resolutions proposing to
block the action. While the debate
I was in progress, other developments
came thick and fast. John
Harton Payne, chairman of the
board, appeared before the Senate
commerce committee to explain the
whole affair and after healing him
the committee, through i* : chairman,
Senator Jones, of Washington, reported
to the Senate that no immediate
action was neces ary. No
action accordingly was taken.
At the White House there was
made public a letter concerning the
proposed sale sent by M \ Payne to
the President, which remarked on
the "vicious but characteristic attack
against the shipping board
emanating from a certain quarter
regarding the sale of the cx-Germaa
passenger ships."
Heart Asks Injunction.
In the District of Columbia Supreme
Court, William Randolph
I Heart, of New York, appearing as
a tax payor, filed an application for
ar injunction to prevent the proposed
sale of the ships at auction.
The court issued an order requiring
the board to show cause
why a temporary injunction should
not be issued.
Chairman Payne assured the Sanate
committee and his assurance*
were repeated to the full Senate,
that the beard would merely receive
this for the vessels,
and would report the results
to the Senate before acting. He met
charges that the sale of th vessel*
to a single purchaser for $28,00G,j
000 was intended with a flat denial,
'but repeated his own conclusion
that the sale of the vessels to
American private owners at the
i present time was to the advantage
! 01* the government.
o
BRICKS ARE SCARCE.
Orders for building brick recently
j sent to brick yards in Georgia have
'so far failed to result in obtaining
any of that material for persons
here who are ir. need of it.
The orders were acknowledged
and it was thought that the cars
would come through in a short time*.
K?.i- 1 _ i - - 1-44 ! * ' ?
uut iuici luuers were receivcu Slaving
that owing to high water in tho
rivers, and also the shortage of labor
and cars furnished by the railroad
company, there was no telling'
when the bricks could be shipped.
