THIS SECTION WON OVER ALL Eost Place For Establishment of Lnrrtn Holnful Fn terprise THE DAIRY COW AND PRODUCTS Points the Way to More Successful Running- of Our Farms Here Editor of The Horry Herald. Dear Sir. It lias recently been my pleasure to nolo through your columns favorable mention of the establishment by the writer of a creamery hoe in Florence. The plant is now under construction and will be ready for operation before Christmas. It will be "known as the Colonial Creamery Company whose intention it is to manufacture butter from separated cream shipped in by the farmers and also for the purpose of buying, milk-feeding and dressing poultry and the handling of egyfs, all to be purchased from the same source. May I take this opportunity of expressing my appeciation of this favorable recognition? It i^ gratifying to know that we lyive publications that give recognition to all classes of ; i dM^tPies that promise relief to our Southern farmers, who now find it necessary to f'Te themselves from the one crop idea. For years 1 was located in * ho Southwest, engaged in the same line of business, and aft?r returning to civil life at the close of the recent war availed myself the ouportunity of becoming associated with the largest produce house in i!i'\ s1 of I?i<l:n". This connection wns made on account' of the fact that 1 desired to got more genial oxneienoo a^d somic of the ' Ko* I'vM'n ideas of "onvers?on and conservation before I embarked in busi)>(?'> for myself in the dear old Southland. hi looking for a location 1 soon, several months touring the country, through Kentucky, Tennessee .and North and ^South Carolina. In my travels I found many possibilities that held out hones of quicker returns than did Florence. This feature, however, Id id not appeal to me for the reason that I considered it more or less su pcrficial. Rather instead I chose this point on account of the fact that il offered the greatest possible future development and expansion on account of its utter lack of production, duo Tarrrely to lack of education, its favoral>'o climatic condition, soil, needy and responsive to animal fertilizer, combined with adequate railroad facilities covering* the entire Atlantic Coast, from Now York to Florida. Tt seemed to me that no other point offered such possibilities for developing a large and useful industrv *'s did the Pee Pee section of South Carolina. Since .having definitely decided to locate here I have familiarized myself i more thoroughly with other parts of the South and find many points offering1 just as good an opportunity. While I shall endeavor, by December 20. to afford every cream producer within the radius of 300 miles of Florence a ready cash market for his cream, providing the product is properly cared for and shipped at regular intervals, the matter of encouraging other plants should be fostered. I would really and truly like to see every publicaton in the South vigorously get in behind this matter of i product development which includes, I i Half of Criminalitj ?. to Improper < IBy DR. R. C.

Another product which muVt not ho overlooked is the manure produced from the above, including the cow herself. In the course of a few years, if this manure is properly conserved and economically distributed, it will materially reduce our commercial fertilizer bills and m; Ice it possible for us to produce, on fewer acres, more feed stuffs with less expense and labor. There should !>e no question in the minds of any of us relative to the matter of our comparative cost of produce as against its cost in the Northern states. The account of his idea that it will rost too much to produce it is to be pitied more than censured. His wanton lack of knowledge in this respect is largely attributable to his greed for knowledge of cotton production. Sine* the boll weevil has become the greatest "field lucent" of the creamery and produce business, our one time cotton farmer is now confronted with the absolute necessity of fortifying himself against the lo->s, in the eyes of the world, of his social and economic position. On account of this fact he is now, without exception. a seeker of knowledge in odor to suc<ossfully combat the boll weevil apt! Maintain his social and economic standing, with the result that ho has timed* to concentrated diversified faming. Beyond question, tho economic solution of the "concentrated diversification" is the hirrh oualitv dairy cow, "the mother of prosperity." From her ljas sprung higher edncation, higher standards of living", hotter hemes and improvements, more economic home life, increased value of f,"rm lands and various and sundry other advantages too numerous to ment ion. Try. i1 you will, jn comparison with other sections of the country who have done concentrated farm dairying for a period of more than ton years* and see if \oii can prove those stnloiuonts un'rue, 1 do not believe Llvii \ou wi'i !?o able to contradict then, and iho one thing that has made this contividictit.ii impossible is the fart 'lu.v those people who have followed dairying for,'\ period of more than 10 years and see if you can prove those statements untrue. 1 do not he'iovc that you will ho able to contradict them and tho one thing that has made this contradiction impossible is tho fact that those people who have followed dairying wore enthusiasticallv onerire tic and were not calamity howlers. They accepted the advice and .council o< the United States Agricultural Department, their state agrici ltural and animal husbandry institutions; and sound judgment and advice of those competent, conscientious men engaged in the matter of .verting t.'.eir raw products into finished table commidities. proudly marketed. Our Southland offers its people this same advantage and no one, no matter how much of a pessimist, can convince me that our people are not going to fall in line. This will be more readily accomplished if those of us who are interested in the conversion and mar M-tllir "I l IM-.-M" puiliucih, rummuuu with all other forces, including the press, refrain from selfish motives.

My attitude is that the matter of small profits on fx large volume is economically sound and I would he glad to see other creamery and produce men come into this country on such a basis with plants distributed throughout the entire South.

The muscadine grapes -hould never be spurred back like the bunch grapes. A few of the young canes and a few of the older branches should be removed eac'e | season.

A great. many people do not realize tlint tin's means thai thou.vmds of had of native cattle must he thrown upon the market. This is liot encournt'-ilur tn t lir> r?wnr?vo of these cattle when they reflect that people all over the country are being asked not to sacrifice their cattle now. An abnormal condition exists at pre**ent because many farmers have folt. forced to sell their animals to raise a little money. This condition nvkes the price of beef cattle very low and especially is this true of the thinner classes of cattle such as these native animals are. Undoubtedly much of this free range stock will be sold to be slaughtered, but this is not necessarily true of all of it. When we consider that native cows crossed on purebred bulls will produce calves which will weigh on the average 200 pounds more at two ye.ars of age than those from native bulls; that the pick of these cows can be bought very cheaply; that the ouality ;ind uniformity of their calves for sale insure a higher price per nound; and that the price of purebred bulls is less than ever before, is it. not well to consider the advisability of keeping a goodly percentage of the best of these females on the farms of the strife? Mucli, of our land is good lor little else than grazing, and at | the price required the purchase of these animals, if properly managed, should be a paying investment. The low price of feed at present should encourage those who have it to buy up Aome of the good, young, thrifty animals at the low price for which they must be sold, thinks S. D. Sims, extension live stock specialist. There is usually a very close margin in feeding cattle, but seldom can feeder stock be bought at one to five cents per pound, the price .at which the comparatively thin native cattle are selling. These animals are accustomed to rustling for themselves and can l>e used to harvest velvet beans or corn and velvet beans to advantage. It is highly important that they shall not be literally given away.
