O. K. Williams, who returned Friday
evening from attending the State
Press Association meeting at Myrtle
Beach, states that when the executive
committee of the association Selected
Myrtle Beach, upon invitation of the
Chamber of Commerce, some of the
newspaper men were skeptical as to
whether a mistake had been made or
not*, but to say that it made a most
fortunate selection is putting it mildly,
as the genuine hospitality of the
people*of that section is unsurpassed.
At Marion the party was met by
the people of Conway with automobiles
and from there taken thirty-six
miles across the country to Conway.
First, at Marion, the people of that
place gave them a reception, with a
few words of welcome from Palmer
Johnson of the Marion Star. Then,
after being served hot coffee by the
ladies m the public library, tney entered
the autos and were token to
Conw/iy, where they were given a
most elegant dinner of all kinds of
good things, from fried chicken and
country ham to everything else you
would want to eat or drink, all produced
in Horry county.
A Her the dinner most of the party
embarked <>n a boat and went down
the Waccamaw River, while others J
went in autos. At the beach everything
was as fine as could be expected,
w.ater and all, and the members
of the Conway Chamber of Com

merce and their most energetic and
delightful secretary, Mr. Wright, together
with the good ladies of Conway,
did everything to make the meeting
most enjoyable. The dinner was
served by a bevy of Conway's pretty
girls, and among those present was
M iss Holliday, who was queen of
Palnvifesta at Columbia recently, who
is a Horry product and a most beautiful
one.
At Myrtle Beach, in addition to the
hotel and cottages there is a yacht
club, the members of which live in
Conway, Marion and Florence. They
have a building and pier on which
they have already spent more th.an
$35,000. The building is three stories,
is right on the shore of the ocean,
nas running water in each room, with
showers in the basement, and is a
most delightful place in every way.
This is a splendid country, devoted
much more to trucking and growing
things eatable than in the production
of cotton. One of the most attractive
features is the good roads of
this section of the state. They have
bonded ihe counties and built sandclay
roads over which you can ride
with almost as much ease as on our
asphalt streets.
Another striking feature is that in
this section, especially Horry county,
you see very few negroes. We do
not blame the people that live there
for being proud of the "Independent
Republic of Horry."
o
GOOD SUPPORT WILL SUCCEED
With the coming of the boll weevil
to the Carolinas one of the sources
of income which has hardly been
tapped in the past?the milk cow?is
becoming of interest. Every farmer
can not sell whole milk, hut every farmer
can sell cream to established 1
creameries to ice cream factories and
to the large distributors in the cities.
Please note the word established and
do not let some overenthusiastic promoter
induce you to start a creamery :
until there is an actual need. Sink
community pride and sectional jealousies,
if such exist, and join in mak- ^
intf a success of those creameries now
struyglinj>" for existence; they cannot
succeed unless they can increase their
output, and this cannot he accomplished
without an additional supply
of raw material.

Let the Horry Herald do it.

and Crop Estimates was given by tlie

Bread tests were made in Bureau of
Markets and Crop Estimates Laboratory.
P. J. Wester, agricultural adviser,
Bureau of Agriculture, Philippine
Islands, and formerly of the Bureau
of Plant Industry, was the sponsor
for the cereal. Mr. Wester has
been carrying on a series of experiments
with adlay, which he believes
has great possibilities as a cultivated
food staple in tropical and semitropical
countries.
Adlay is not, strictly speaking, a
new food plant; it has probably been '
cultivated for several thousand years
bv certain primitive hill tribes of Asia;
but it has not been taken up as a cultivated
crop on a large scale until re- i
cently. In the Philippines it has been
used by the natives for making a fer- ]
mealed drink like small beer.
Mr. Wester's experiments have
demonstrated that adlay is a wholesome
palatable food for the table, and
that with a proper mixture of wheat
flour it can be used for all purposes
for which wheat flour is used. He
attributes the fact that adlay has not
hitherto been used as a breadstuff, due 1
to tho difficulty of milling it. The nn- J
.ive method of grinding rice and corn is t
not suited to adlay on account of its <
very hard hull, which causes the <
grains when crushed to fly out in all
lirections. Mills especially adapted ^
1 o adlay are necessary for its prep- >
ration; and Mr. Wester came to the I
tales especially to find such mills. I

Both the entire grain and the white \

muffins, cookies and pastry were

scalding the white adlay flour before
I using.
The use of adlay is being demonstrated
at the Philippine experiment
station, where the grain has been
p'anted, harvested and tested for food.
The experiments made thus far show
that it is more prolific than rice, than
which it requires less attention. It
has also been demonstrated that the
bread made from it is* as nutritious
and wholesome as wheat bread, and
that it nviy be prepared for food in
many attractive forms. Unground
adlay may be used in broth or soup
like barley, or it may be parched like
Indian corn, or puffed like wheat or
rice. About ten years ago the Tinted
States Department of Agriculture
carried on a series of exoeriments
with this plant in the South, chiefly
to test results, however, v ere not sat isf/ictory,
the yields falling short of
those obtained in the Philippines. It
is thought likely, however t.hat varieties
may he found which will ? ield
well in the Southern United Slates.
If this is realized, adlay will prove
to he a crop valuable as a source of
concentrated feed for I ha? stock as
well 'is a desirable breadstu X for man.
The Philippine name "adlay" is suggested
for the special varieties suitable
for bread making. Botanically
thev are designated as "coix lacryn ajobi
var. maynen stapf. That is to
snv. they are forms of coix 'acvyniaiobi.

known as "Job's tears." are strung (
into necklaces and used for rosaries
both by Christians and Buddhists, j
From the young leaves also a sort of j
tea is prepared by the Japanese, who ,
use the grain in certain kinds of con- .
fectionery and also fo4' making a ior- j
mented drink. :

L. S. Wolfe, Orangeburg.?About
thirty carloads of Irish potatoes, six
of green corn and twelve of cucumbers
and several mixed cars of beans,
etc., were shipped out this month.
More cucumbers and beans would have
been shipped but prices did not warrant
marketing.
J. Frank Williams, Sumter.?Nearly
all of the stubble in Sumter county
has been planted or sown in either
soy beans or cow peas. There will
be none left if we get another season
soon. Velvet beaifs have be^n planted
in half of the corn in the county.

S. C. Stribling, Cherokee.?A good
bit of interest is being shown by farmers
in the ten acre fertilizer experiment
being conducted by the Clemson
agronomy division on the farm of
H. H. Camp. One interesting fact
brought out is the retarding effect of
sufficient phosphorous under young
cotton. Of course the shortage of
ammonia also shows, but this seems

sed cotton also is very outstanding.

OBITUARY
On Wednesday, June 14, 1022, the
death angel visited the home of Mr.
and Mrs. D. V. Gapps and took from
them their darling bahy, Bessie Kee,
aged 1 year and 0 days.
Little Bessie was sick only a week
and all was done that loving hands
and the .-killed , physician could do.
But ?nothing could stay the icy hand
of death- Her passing away was a
great shock to her parents and many
friends of the family. Besides leaving
a father and mother she also
leaves three sisters and one brother
to mourn their loss.
Interment was made at the family
burying ground, High Point, near Jordanville,
S. C.. in the presence of a
large circle of friends and relatives.
