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,

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

us to produce, on fewer acres, more

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.

NOT TO HIM
It is not left to any one man to
establish the location of the southern
end of the national highway. Such
a story was going the rounds about
the streets last week for a while but
the Herald man ran down the report
and found nothing to it. It will be
fixed by the board.
While turning about to find something
to take the place of the annual
cotton crop, there are some of

was away while this was going on.
Later Nathan Lewis returned

Booth also left the house and was
in a semi-intoxicated condition, and
it was after this that ho was found
hurt at the place where the wood
chopping was going on.

The pecan limbs are affected will"die-back."
This is a disease which

If the vines are to be pruned
annually tho ti*ellis system is much
better. However, if the vines grown

this will pvovo a very satisfactory
system also. The proper method of
pruning is important. The idea ii
pruning is to thin the vine so thai
ample sunlight will reach a" partof
the vin \ If the bloom buds ope
in the shade very few of them wil'
set fruit; hence the importance of
ample sunlight. The muscadine
grapes -hould never be spurred back
like the bunch grapes. A few of the

branches should be removed eac'e

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

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
