The concern that bases its reason
for existence on something else besides

to bankruptcy. No concern of that
kind can exist for very long.

Tt is said that one may he sure

there are exeptions to the rule so far

When the plant in any shop is kept

THE HORRY HERALD, OON
HAVING BULL
ASSOCIATIONS
Open the Way to Good Stock

Farms
USED IN EUROPE,
NEW OVER HERE
U. S. Department of Agriculture
Will Supply the
Details Free
Every dairy farmer knows that he
would ?ot better returns from his
feed and labor it* he had hiprh grade
stock; but the idea of establishing p
blooded herd immediately suirirests
"kid glove" farming and bankruptcy I
"Two-thousand dollar cows and two
dollar milk," was one farmer's characterization.
Vet the United States Department
of Agriculture annually is leading
hundreds of farmers toward the possession
of herds that will increase o*
increase the former milk and butt^v
tt yield with the same outlay for
unkeeo. One of' the most useful
agencies is the co-operative hull assc
ciation.
A Better Calf a Year.
A high grade cow will impart her
excellent finalities to one calf a year
and tho total of high grade farm
cattle is increased hv one. On the
ether hand, a hull whose mother had
the same milk and butter qualifications
and whose father is descended
from a milk and butter strain may
sire as many as seventy-five calves,
each carrying its share of the racial
excellence. This bull can do duty with
one lot of cows for two years without
anger of inbreeding. If there were
five lots of cows and five bulls and the
hulls were rotated from one herd to
another every two years, each bull
would have a period of usefulness of
possibly ten years and may easily
have added 750 head of young stock,
with a due proportion of high milkproducing
heifers. As the first generation
of heifers became milkers the
breeding value of the bulls would become
established and any inferior
.?izes couid be v eeded out. Five bulbkept
for ten years m.ay change the
entire dairy industry of a community
and possibly give its cattle a distinctiveness
that would be a valuable
market asset.
Co-operative bull associations have
listed in Europe for a long time. In
America the system is only twelve or
thirteen years old, but records of milk
n<l butter-fat production are is possession
of the department showing
mgible benefit far exceeding the cost
to the cow owners.
At New Windsor, Md., for instance.,
.-even daughters of one sire average*!
270.5 pounds of butter fat a year, an'
improvement over the average of
208.3 pounds for their dams. This was
only the first generation. The fiveblock
association will permit line
breeding with greatly increased possibilities.
Plan or Organization.
To organize a co-operative bull association
ii is first advisable to arou
as murh interest fs possible in the
plan through meetings, conversation
and the circulation 01 iJepartmen
Agriculture literature. It is possible
that the county agent or even some
state or Federal agricultural repre
tentative can be induced to help per<oiv.l'v.
Advice can always he obtained
from the department by mai1
Forms can he had from the department
for a preliminary agieemeni,
in which, among other things, the
number of cows owned by each prospective
member is listed. When a
sufficient number of cows have been
listed, a meeting snouici oe called
ami arrangements made for incorporation.
Each member would contribute
in proportion to the number
of cows he owns, but would have
only one vote.
As early as possible the tempo
. rar\ or permanent secretary shouM
begin corresponding with breeder?
having high grade bulls for s::!r.
One bull should bo purchased fo%
1 about every seventy-fi v 1 cows Tlr
ow>- should be divided into blockf
of that number, with regard to geo>
' graphical conveniencee, .and arrangements
made for the keeping ol

FARMERS HAVE ~T
DIRECT SERVICE
? i
Florence, S. C.?Farmers of the ]
Pee Deo section will have the most
direct service possible from the South 1
Carolina Extension Service, under a
policy adopted and now put into et- i
feet, announces Mr. T. Benton Young, t
of Florence, district .agent. A corps i
of specialists have been stationed in
Florence where they will be within j
three to 12 hours call of practically t
every farmer in the district, in addi- *
tion to the assistance of the local J
county agent.
"And these specialists are here for ?
the service of the agricultural interests,
the individual when needed, of
his district?and we want anyone, in
need of them, to call cn them, too,"
adds Mr. Young. "If urgent, use the
long distance telephone or the telegraph
wires?write or call in person."
Mr. Y oung is head of the service in |
this district, which includes the counties
of Berklev, Charleston, Clarendon.
Colleton, Darlington, Dillon. Dor'hest^r.
Florence, Georgetown, Iioivy,
Lee, Marion, Marlboro, Sumter and
Williamsburg. All the corps of
specialists here is under him and onrates
in the same territory. The
nresent special corps comprises tlio
following members:
S D. Sims in livestock. Ho i< a
graduate of Purdue University^ Ir.is
had several yoars practical work on
livestock farms of the West, and
vmiVc -it! rivo of tho ablest members of
tho district corps.
L. H. Lewis, in marketing. Prior to
coming to South Carolina about two
years ago, he engaged in tho extension
service work in Alabama. Already
his work handling sweet potatoes
in this section, has won connendation
of his ability. He is ready
and competent to advise on hond'ing
'nd preparing any product of the territory
for the market.
R. Farmer, in horticulture. He is
duo to ioin the district beadouarters
witMn the next, two or three weeks.
Ho i<? our of tho honor men of Clemson
,ond ronks very high in his activity.
Tho district arrent hopes tbc
farms of this section are going to ntil
i/.o Mm t<"> expand and improve their
fruit and nut orchards,
i C. W. Schmolke, in dairying. He
lis a man of international experience
having woi^od in England, Africa and
thp United Sf.nt/*s. Mo lioro
nbout two months ago and has already
accomplished some notable
work. Ko is at the call of anyone hav
insr problems in dairying.
E. E. Hall, plant and seed breeding.
For 10 years, he has devoted his time
almost exclusively to this highly
technical and interesting work. Ho
has been engaged with some of the
foremost breeders of the United
States and joins the service as an unusually
well equipped man. Anyone
desiring to undertake breeding improved
varieties of seed or plants
should con.4 ill him.
A poultry specialist probably will be
added to the district corps within :he
near future. He will be added if certain
development work is undertaken
in this territory.
Dr. W. W. Long, director of the extension
service, originated the idea of
putting the special men in position to
be of most direct service to the individual
who needs them. Service is his
great idea and objective. Decentralization
at the college was necessary because
of the tremendous amount o'
work which they are being called upon
to handle. The Pee Dee people especially
are availing themselves of
this expert assistance.
