Thirty million dollars in thirty 1
minutes is the world record, established
by the directors of thfr largest
co-operative marketing association of
America,vwho met with Eugene Meyer,
Jr., and -Officials of the War Finance
Corporation in Washington, D. C., last ,
week.
The committee of directors from
the Tobacco Growers' Co-operative
Association secured approval of the
loan for the 75,000 tobacco farmers
of Virginia, North Carolina and South
Carolina, \tt\ich now assures the success
of their association beyond a
doubt.
Officers of the War Finance Corporation
were so familiar with the
management of the association and
so confident of its success that they
took only thirty minutes to signify
approval of the greatest loan over
made to organized farmers in the
history of the United States.
In ,addition to the loan of $30,000,000,
which will enable the big tobacco
co-operative to pay its members cash
advances upon delivery of their tobacco,
the War Finance Corporation
further j agree?, to re-discount loans
secured by green or soft order tobacco
for local banks throughout the Virginia-Carolina
tobacco belt.
The lean of the War Finance Corporation
is to be secured by more
than 3.r>0.000,000 pounds of its mem
beis' tobacco now under five year con-*
tract with the Tobacco Growers' Cooperative
Association, which represents
a value of over 870.000,000 in
the first year of operation, according
to conservative estimates.
Among the official^ of the Tobacco
Growers' Co-operative Association
who nret with Kugone Meyer, .Jr., director
of the War Fin.ince Corporation,
were George A. Norwood, president,
banker and planter of Goldshoro,

states.
Following: the example of the Burley
Tobacco Growers' Association of
Kentucky which, after securing a similar
credit from the Wnr Finance Corporation,
was enabled to gain all
necessary funds from state and local
banks, and to mpay their 90-day loans

throughout the belt.
For the organized tobacco growers
and the thousands of farmers from
three states who are joining the association
every month the action of
the War Finance Corporation assures
the rafe and orderly marketing of tobacco
which resulted in largely increased
profits and a new source of
credit for Kentucky farmers, whose
organization h^s now sold 70,000,000
pounds of tobacco for highly satisfactory
prices, during one month receiving
an average of 29 cents a
pound for tobacco sold through the
association, while that sold outside
the association brought less than
21 cents per pound upon the auction
warehouse floors.
Close to 80 per cent of the tobacco
farmers of Virginia have joined the
marketing association, and North
Carolina growers are nearing a 7f?
per cent sign-up following the recen'
statewide campaign for members.
A whirlwind campaign among tof-trniers
of South Carolina began
Monday, .lune 2(>, ant' continued
until every one of the thirty-eight cooperative
marketing points of the
Sop; h Carolina belt has been reached
with a mass meeting.

PIG LOSSES HEAVY ^
k
Many FadorH Cause Nearly Fifty
Per vt'e.ut .to Die
Clemson College. ? The average p
number of pigs raised in South Carolina
is hut little more than 50 per 1
cent of the number farrowed. Below
are some of the causes of loss and
considerations for preventing lovs, C
suggested by Prof. L. V. Starkey.
chief of the animal husbandry division,
who says that the relation between
the nufnber of pigs raised per
litter and the profits derived is very
striking, and thai if our farmers are
to make profits from raising hogs s
they must see that the sows raise f
reasonably large litters. r
contagious uooruou is mti ca3iii^ ,
in the herds of this country. It is a
difficult disease to control and will *
probably continue to cause large *
losses. j
A poorly balanced ration will cause v
a sow to farrow weak pigs or even
dead pigs. A ration too high in protein
may be as detrimental as one J
which is too low in protein. Losses
from this source may be easily over- (
come because our South Carolina farmers
can grow the feeds which it ,
takes to make a balanced ration.
At farrowing* time it is necessary
to be present. As soon as the nig
is ejected the mucous should be taken
from its mouth and nostrils. If it is j
lifeless it nviy be revived by rubbing
Then the newly farrowed pig should
I>o placed where it can nurse. If it is I ,
weak a little milk squeezed from the
teat into its mouth will work wonders
in strengthening it.
If stagnant mud pools are present .
the sow will wallow in thom because
her udder is in a feverish condition.
When the little pigs have to nurse
these mud-covered udders they w'l'
develop digestive troubles, such as
cours. bo"ome stunted, and often die.
There is no objection 'o clear runping
water, but stagnant pools usivilly
cause t rouble.
If pigs are cat rated too high up
on the scrotem, the lower part of the
i'li'i i >11 will form a p >cket which may
harbv>r infection. For this reason the
owet down incision, are made the
better. S >nie disinfoc'ani, such as a
1 per cent creolin solution should be
used. The younger the pigs are castrated
the better. Sin weeks o'd is
often recommended. Pigs which lvwe
been castrated should lie run in "a j
i e'ean glass paddock which is free |
. from wallows and stagnant pools.
Ilou cholera i< the'chief source of j
loss of hoj?;s. If there is cholera with- |
in ton miles, hoi?\- should be double |
treated- Thi> me;mis 'hat practically i
every farmer should have his hojujs

\ SECOND CROP
IRISH POTATOES
Clemson College.?The early movenent
and individual buying of Lookiut
Mountain potatoes, together with
he many inquiries concerning this
rop indicate that there is danger of
oo early planting, especially of the
lookout Mountain variety, for maxinuni
yields. Unlike the spring planting.
"the early bird does not catch the
vorm" iji case of the second or fall
rop. Therefore, farmers and gardeners
should inform themselves and
lot hil 11?1 ic.'i ii limit- ni'oi 11 n't i< >n liv- iil.-mt
f r. r?
ng too early, warns George I1- Hoffmann,
extension horticulturist.
The South Carolina experiment station
recently conducted a series of
?xperiments and found that l>est results
and maximum yields were obtained
by planting between July 10
mid August 1, depending; upon the climatic
conditions of the section of the
st;ite?warmer climates calling for the
later planting.
Of the many varieties suitable for
fall planting, the Lookout Mountain
seems to he the most popular and is
usually recommended as being: the
best, not because of the superior eating
quality but because of its keeping:
quality. Substitutes for this variety
may bo such spring: v/jrieties as Cobbler
and Karly Rose, both of which
are good hut not so good as the Lookout
Mountain in keeping quality and
yield.
The same >oil jecommendations applying"
to the spring crop will apply
equally well to the fall crop. The
Irish potato delights in and grows to
perfection on a vich, sandy loam soil
underViid by a clay sub-soil retentive
of moisture. Hut the absence of such
<oil should not >e a hindrance in the
growing: of Irish potatoes tor home
use, as this crop adapts itselt to a
great diversity of well drained soils.
