mm ~r Ackson writes I on stock law Mr. Editor:? I don't know that it will bo worth much for mo to write now, but I have decided it might help some. The matter would be luughable if it had not got to the place where it is so serious. I attended two of the free range meetings in Conway last Spring in order to try to keep things from happening as they have. They gave me the chance to speak 011 one occasion, and I told them th it >ve had the stock law, and the thing for us to do was to begin to prepare for it. I told them they might send throo of the best lawyers in Conway to' Columbia and thev could not rcpe.v the law, that it would not be considered a local matter any longer. The thing is now settled for good and maybe some will be benefited by my experience. I have been in Horry County for twenty years or more and have never tried to raise stock in the woods. I hear of a good many who have torn down their fences which I think is a mistake. One acre of cleared land is worth more for a pasture than , ten in the woods. . The best plan is to fence off a I small place, the size would depend < on the number of stock one would want to keep, and plant it in some kind of grass, and I do not think there is anything1 that will beat bermuda for this section. Where a mail has a small family, and would only want to keep one cow, and raise meat for his own use, one-half acre would be a plenty, and then by having some of his farm fenced his stock could get the run of it during the fall and winter. A mighty sorry fence will keep stock in, where very often it takes a mighty good one to keep them out. 1 remember very well when the stock law was passed tn Marion County, my Father had me to haul rails from around the field and fence the woods for pasture. Soon the rails were burned up or rotted and the pasture gone. So it was not long before he only tried to keep one cow, and as he expressed it, he would buy two or three barrows in the spring to raise off of, and he had home made meat nearly all the year, and milk and butter about all the time. I am glad to see that both factions are agreeing, and that there is no wrangling over the matter. The matter is settled henceforth now and forever, and in less than five years ninety per cent of the people will be glad that it is settled as it is. So tets quit discussing it, and go to discussing the question of raising better stock, and let the ladies who have ham and all sorts of good things to eat that they want to give W. L. Mishoe, and Uncle Jerry, drop them a note and tell them to come around. The serious tiling referred was that the men who had more stock than they could manage under stock law conditions did not dispose of them last summer when they could, have gotten pood prices for them, thinking' the law would he repealed, and had to sell them at a sacrifice.

The efforts la^t year were directed largely toward increasing the use of milk and dairy products on the farm through campaigns for cows on every farm and improving farm dairy products by practical demonstrations in school?; nnd in farm kitchens. In liOuisiana 274 cottage-cheese demonstrations, 207 butter making demonstrations and 286 demonstrations on milk products were made, and 26. meetings were held. As a result?2.093 families were reported as using more milk, 178 cows were brought in where there were none before, Si boys' and girls' clubs were organized, and much improved dairy apparatus was purchased. In South Carolina tho activities resulted in the increased use of milk in 1,384 families and in the purchase of 7.'? family cows. Sixty demonstrations were given in butter making and 38 in making other dairy products. The work in Mississippi resulted i?i placing 322 family cows in 11 counties and in the purchase of 2,040 pieces of improved dairy equipment. FViir*' u'nvrt 1 1 V.?/k.

It is natural that this should be the case since the longer the staple, other things being equal, the better the grado of cloth that can be produced. However, the long staple varieties have not had the popularity that the short staples have had, due in main to the fiict that the long staple varieties which were formerly grown gave pooi* yields of seed cotton. This defect of the long staple varieties is now being overcome by the breeding methods employed by some of our best seedmen. In the past few years varieties of long staple cotton have been prooduced whose yield of seed cotton compare favorably with some of the popular short staple varieties, says G. H. ? i i ? ironings, assistant agronomist. Ivor J instance, in the 11)20 cotton variety test at Clemson College, in which 22 varieties wove tested, Delta Type Webber, a I 5-16 inch staple, stood fifth from the top. Wannamaker's Cleveland, a 1 inch fibre, led the list producting 1672 pounds of seed cotton, while the Delta Type produced 1584 pounds. Other long staple varieties, such as the Webber 40 and Webber 82, 1 Vi inches; Hartsville 12, 1 Yt inches; Dixie-Affifi, l V? inches; Keenan, 1M inches, may also be counted upon to produce good yields during average years. The Dixie-Affifi is alsc a pood well-resistant variety. All of these are early long staple varieties and may be expected to succeed under weevil conditions. o rfnbitiHal Constipation Cured in 14 to 21 Days LAX-FOS WITH PEPSIN" is a specially, prepared Syrup Tonic-Laxative for Habitual Constipation.

TO HURRY HRRAMV QOWfrl IMPROVEMENT IN EDUCATION I Washington.?Illiteracy is decreasing in the nation, according" to census bureau returns from the first three States in which 1P20 enumeration has been worked out on the subject. In Alabama where the percentage j of i'literacy was found to be 22.9,of, the tota' population over ton years of aire in 1910, the 1920 percentage was 1G.2. In Arkansas the percentage dropped from 12.G in 1910 to 9.4 in 1920 and in Delaware from 8.1 in 1910 to 5.9 in 1920. Illiterate persons under the census bureau tabulation include all these unable to write In all three States the percentage of illiteracy in the rural districts \vas somewhat gTeater than in the cities. In Alabama 17.8 percent of rural residents were found to be illiterate and 10.4 percent in cities; in Arkansas 13.6 per cent of the rural population and 0.5 per cent of urban, in Delaware fi.l per cent for rural districts and 5.7 per cent for urban. 1 In both Southern States a higher percentage of illiterates was found in the negro population than in the white, although the proportion of il-i literates likewise declined among tlie1 nr>jrroo? liotwppn 191ft Jind 1 <)9.ft Tn' Alabama 31.3 per cent of negroes j were found illiterates, while 0.4 pri^ cent of native whites of native per-1 centage were illiterate while in Ar-; kansas 21.8 p.er cent of negroes were illiterates and but 4.0> per cent of whites of native percentage were included. o Colds Cause Grip and Influenza LAXATIVE BROMO QUININE Tablets remove the fiuso.

Such dogs not only j 1:?U sheep, hut keep out of the sheep business men who are otherwise inclined to go into it, say specialists the United States Department of Agriculture. Sheep-killing: dogs work both singly and in groups, but usually in twos or threes. They do not limit their attacks to the flocks of thej immediate vicinity in which they are kept, but travel for miles in all directions, spreading; destruction in the flocks with which they come in contact. Because their work is so often done under cover of darkness it is almost impossible to catch them in the act of worrying thej sheep, hence they can seldom be1 positively identified. After a dog has once formed the( habit of killing sheep it seemingly i becomes a mania with him and he! is seldom if ever broken of it. He not only destroys sheep himself, but] leads other dogs to, the work. No i consideration should be given such j dogs; and if additional losses from: this source are to be avoided, they j should be killed as soon as their habits are known. o When the mills are all going and new factories are being established, this community will enjoy a still larger amount of business. A large business is being clone here and has been even through the so-called de- J pression. While other places lagged behind, Conway has been coming ahead all of the time. o * * * * * * 1J*********# * Church Directory * ***** ************ Conway Baptist Church, Myron W. Gordon, Pastor.
