Italy W. Johnson testified in his ( own behalf and said that shortly after this notice was served on him his cattle happened to come up and he penned them in a lot in the corner of this large Pee Dee pasture about 64 yards from his house but across the i e I. ' _r TU..t VS.. rouu^irum iiis iurm. mav inn were in this lot on July 2tfth, the day on which Hedley was to have supervised the inspection of them, according to his best recollection, but that neither Hedley or McNeill stopped at his place that day; that he kept the cattle up to the next day afternoon, making three days in all that he had Icept thorn in the pan, and that he then turned them out again to the pasture. He said that cattle in this pasture ranged around from one part of it to another, bounded by the Pee Dee Iload on the one side and by the Pee Dee River on the other, and with wire fence at the ends; that the cattle naturally would come up at times, to the pen when they can be penned, but at other times, it is impossible to find the cattle among the thick woods, brush and branches in this large pasture that himself and dozens of others have made for taking care of their scrub cattle; that ho has <*\ .Jersey cow and othor animals that ho <loes not allow to run with the others, but he keeps them in another pasture. He stated that ho never violated thel law about dipping but had dipped his cattle for about three years and intendod to get rid of the scrub cattle he has as soon as he could, without making a sacrifice. He also said that lie bad asked McNeill for some disinfectants, which McNeill gave him-, and that he had applied it to the cattle himself. He established these facts also by the oath of bis son, Barney Johnson, and another witness, and be %\l.ir?rwl nil 1 bo stand Henry Johnson, who testified about the difficulty encountered, when the ownor of stock in the Poo Doo Swvm?^, undertakes to find them, and that ho mirht. ho a wholo week in finding thorn all, and niiirht. not find some of thorn ever.

The attorney for the defense areucd before tho iurv after thov had i -1 1 u.. 41^ f li<i f (|,n IH't'll ClIiU'KCU IIHJ Vjiiii i i , mm mv purpose of this law was not to opr?"r?ss the nor>nle but. to benefit them; that sometimos large powers were placed in the hands of men who did not know how to exercise tho?e powers; that Dr. TTedley evidentlv had the knowledge necessarv *o make hi?>i competent to fill the position of catt'r? in^nMor but ho lacked those dualities which should exist in the make un of a man to app1'' and exercise tbe ritrhts given him with Rood judgment and discretion. Thnt h^> had ov'denfl\' Mcted in those cases without the exercise of discretion. going ahead to serv^ bis written notices on these people while they wore on prated in a community nlan of harvesting and curing1 Vheir tobacco crops, whereby Johnson, if he misled helning the other members of the association, put in their barns of tobacco, his own barn would be missed, and he would lose an entire curing of bis onlv money crop; that it appeared from the testimony that there was no immediate necessity for the disinfection of his cattle, as they were lcept in a pasture where only cattle of the same kind were kent; and that it hoH virxt, appeared that the doctor had found any ticks on his cattle, and in fact b^ had not inspected the cattle, and did not know Johnson's cattle from somebody else's cattle, and furthermore, t-hat the cattle were immune from Texas fever, and only one case found by him in Horry Oountv, and none at all since 1015: and that for the past three years the Doctor had been engaged in the disinfection of all the cattle, and the inference from this would be. that if he had done his duty, then the ticks had been exterminated. Regardless of this he had gone ahead to enforce these powers, claimed by him under this act. when it is plainly shown by the Act itself that he is the one who decides when the notice shall be given, and that he has the power to withdraw the notices when ho seo? that the people could not comply or that the people would "he damaged more hv complying1 than would h" nosi,;uu they refused. f On the other h^nd. the attorney for tho state argued that the law is ho law, and that it must be obeyed. Ho eulogized Dr. Hedley and stated tunt, D>' Hod'eir had come from the state of Pennsylvania where Franklin and other great men had been born and lived, and that Horry County should be proud if it could possibly import from that State as many po?<Hble like Or. Hed'oy. He argued that the State had proved thai; Hedley served the notices as the law required, and was back at the place on the day appointed, according to T custom to supervise the disinfection of Johnson's cattle, and that Johnson had left home and come to Conway and that Hedley was not expected to do the work of this disinfection himself but only to supervise it. He made a fine speech in support of the law and those trying to enforce it. The jury retired and after remaining out for a long time desired.to return to the courtroom. They were brought out before the court and stated that they could not possibly agree. The court told them that they had 110 right to disagree in that way but must find a verdict, and that he would keep them there for at least another hour. They went back into the room and everybody left the courthouse for one hour and then returned. The jury came out and were not yet agreed and the Court directed a mistrial. There are seven more cases to be tried and the circumstances vary to some extent as to all of these defendants. It was further developed in the showing made by the defense that in April McNeill had told Johnson that there was some of the medicines left over that they wished to use and dispose of; that all those who wished to use it, would have the opportunity of doing so, and it would be left to them entirely whether they used it or not; and there was nothing compulsory about it; that they could disinfect their cattle or not just as they chose.

UaiIi im: flation of prices) had hurt tho farmer more than any j other class, tin.i t.hat on this account ! the fanner is entitled to every consideration within i on son. At such a ti-no as this when th< farmor is facing th.? problem of which crops to grow, and how much he can venture to spend in their production. Mr. Harper says, that lie, as a farmer himself, knows that it is the most dif ffcult situation of ihe kind he has ever I confronted. I I This Is the way this agricultural ! authority fi^.rer out the proposition of profitable crop production in 1921: "Grow enough food and feed crops to supply as far as possible the needs of the family, the tenants and livestock. Then pick out the kind of cash j ( I'ODK t r? nt'fiir ? Iu> u- i |)C3CtS. *> "Cotton will always be one of the best cash crops that a Southern farmer can grow. No cotton fanner can afford to throw cotton aside alto get her. "Hut cotton should not be the only ] cash crop. It would only be another case of carrying all the eggs in one basket. It is better to go to market with more than one crop. Among j these other crops are peanuts, legume hays, tobacco, sweet potatoes, sugar cane, sorghum, rice and perhaps other crops. In addition there should bo a gradual adding, as means will allow, of more livestock, beginning with hogs preferably and taking on other animals as soon as possible. "In facing the problem of profitable crop production for the year 1921, two facts must be considered. (1) Crop prices are low, (2) Crop producing j expenses have not fallen correspondj Ingly. i "The farmer must remember that wben crop prices are low, it takes more of the crops to cover the production cost. This narrows the margin of profits. Therefore, if a farmer does not look well to keeping up his acre yields, there will be no margin left above the cost of production. j "Always, the most expensive yields are the low yields and the most remunerative are the high yields. It there are losses to be sustained, as was the case in 1920, the fanner who i I grew the greatest yields per acre lost j least. I "A safe and sane policy that needs 1 especial emphasis for 1921, is: 'Guard 1 your profits with high acre yields.' j ' This involves good preparation of the i i seed bed, tlie use of high producing i J seed, liberal fertilization and thorough | cultivation. A neglect to employ any I one of these to the proper extent may ! mean that the farmer will find himself poorer at the end of the season than at the beginning. "Labor is the greatest item of cost ! in producing a crop yield. It must ^ be used to the extent of thorough cultivation. Fertilizers are next }n the list of cost items. Since high yields I per acre ai^ so essential in times of , low prices of crops, and since fertiliz ers increase acre yields more than any thing else, they cannot be reduced in ' 1921. In fact, it may be that they will h' have to be depended upon more than ' ever, to make acre yields that will be profitable. 9 r "An investment in good seed is one i > of the best that a farmer can make - at any time. "In a word, this is a time for farm [ efficiency, faith and courage. These > virtues exercised, the farmer will emerge from the post-war struggle vie toriously." f ? o??
