BANKS TO HELP
COTTON MARKET
l >
Numbers of Banks Say that
They Endorse Cooperative
Plan
NEED MODTrN METHODS
The Plan Is a Sensible and
Business-Like Effort for
Prosperity
Columbia.?Assurances from the
banks of the state that they will support
the South Carolina Cotton Growers'
Co-operative Association to the
limit are bem# received daily, officials
of the association said. Letters were
received recently from over 100 banks,
they said, statinfir their desire to no
operate with the organization in every
way possible.
Many of the banks have signified
their intention of launching vigorous
advertising campaigns in behalf of
the association and of doing everything
in their power to encourage
those farmers who have not yet done
so to sign tlie contract.
The Commercial Bank of Newberry,
of which John M. Kinard is president,
has already begun a campaign of this
nature in Newberry, the Newberry
papers having carried in their last issues
large advertisements by their
bank endorsing tho movement end
urging the farmers to join.
"After a thorough investigation of
the co-operative marketing plan," says
the statement by t ho bank, "we wish
to state that we heartily endorse it
and without hesitating further, advise
every cotton grower in this and cdjaining
counties to join if they have
not already done so.
"If the plan wasn't a good one our
government would not have agreed to
loan the association $10,000,000 for
South Carolina.
"We are going to back the association
to our limit, and in doing so we
feel that it means a long step f< rward
in bringing / independence Mid
prosperity to the farming industry
and putting it upon a more .secure and
solid foundation.
"Wp hfllievp tho fnvmpva nrorl to
adopt more modern and more business-like
methods, and unless they do
this there can he no hopes of lifting*
their occupation from its present depression
and putting it upon the organized
and systematic 'jasis that
other business enterprises rest upon.
We see in co-operative marketing the
first and most solid hope for accomplishing
this. We look upon it as
sensible business-like effort to increase
agricultural prosperity and think that
farmers should join each other in this
enterprise. If you haven't joined,
don't stand back and let your neighbor
do this work for you. Co-operative
marketing, in our opinion, is here
to stay, and we are all going to benefit
by it. Therefore, don't wait until
the last drive is made but join in now
with your neighbors and friends and
sign.
"It has been reported that the credit
of farmers might be injured if they
joined the marketing contract. Don't
be afraid of this, for if you have existed
under the old plan, which has
caused so many to lose their credit,
we assure our customers and friends
that their credit will iiot be injured
with us in the least account of signing
the marketing contract, nor do
we believe their credit will be injured
with any other business institution
"Co-operative marketing spells
prosperity to all of us and we want
to see the county sign up 100 per
cent strong."

WITH THE LIVE
COUNTY AGENTS
J. M. Eleazer, Saluda.?The first
purebred sheep ever to come in the
county were secured last month?
eight head in all. Alfalfa demonstra
nons wore visited?neavy cuiungs ot
hay were made for the third time this
season. Some remarkable figures on
this crop will be gotten this year here.
S. W. Epps, Dillon.?Our fourth
annual short course was from every
standpoint by far the best we have
ever had. The atttndance was better
than ever before as I had forty-seven
boys that spent the three days and a
few others that dropped in occasionally.
Quite a number of men in the
community expressed themselves as
being very much impressed with the
work.
W. G. McGowan, Abbeville.?The
co-operative buying of seed has been
a big item in the work of this spring.
Arranged with merchants to handle
all seed for less than 5 per cent profit
in co-operation with county agent.
Together we have handled 2,[>00 bushels
of seed such as velvet beans, etc.,
at an approximate having of $1,000,
and in addition we have sold only the
best seed, and everything points to
increased yield due to this factor.
M. M. McCord, Georgetown.?S. D.
Sims, live stock specialist, is aiding
to conduct some valuable demonstrations
in determining the cost of producing
pork. One farmer who is keepi

ui& an ucturuie recoru 01 uie cosi,
has remarked that he had no idea that
pork could be produced so economically
as his records have shown, and is now
planning to increase his herd.
W. F. Howell, Lancaster.?Interest
in dairying continues to prow, as is
shown by the fact that several more
men have started shipping cream. A
milk truck to carry whole milk to
Charlotte from Van Wyck has been
started up, and around 100 gallons
daily is sent to this market by the
farmers of this community. Several
formers have been lined up to do
demonstration work with their bees
and equipment ordered for them.

FARM PARAGRAPHS
The growing chicks are calling for
green feed. Give them plenty.
It doesn't pay to let your chicks get
sunburned. Provide plenty of shade
for them.
Chicks want corn, but they want
more than corn. Give them :i variety.
Balance their feeds.
Summer pruning of your fruit trees
wili pay. Take oft -he ends of the
longest tender branches and give the
uee a chance to foroe the gvowth into
ihe laterals.
The wood on the fruit tree which
hardens slowly is the wood which will
carry best through the winter. Give
it a chance.
Fertilization of trees at this season
will force a rapid growth, hut it will
not give this growth a chance to li^rden
before cold weather. Save your
fertilizer until February or March and
force your tree then.
Try a small patch of burr clover in
that corn. It's a hot job sowing seed
in a corn alley at this season, but burr
clover will help your fields product
more next year by adding nitrogen to
the sail.
Growing dewberries for market is
taking hold in our low country. Those
of us who have thorn should iu?ve the
patch clean and all the vines cut back
so as to force a new growt hthis summer.
Don't plant dewberries in low land.
Put them on a sand hill that has organic
matter in the soil.
Don't fail to look after that dusting
proposition on your cotton. Don't
let George do it, do it yourself and
do it right.
Now is a good time to look after
those fences. Those of us who expect
to raise hogs for the fall and
winter markets should get their pasture
fences up to the minute.
Help us put Charleston to the front
as a hog producing county. We can
do it. There is money in hogs. Let's
go after it.
Fence in your cowpeas os soy beans
and let the hogs plow them under.
It doesn't pay to try to raise hogs
for the market in the feed lot. Give
them a pasture.
Seven?eighths of the money banked
in one county in Wisconsin is made
on some form of live stock. How
much do we bank in Charleston that
way ?
Seed treatment of Irish potato seed
for fall planting will pay. It has been
proved out here on the spring crop
both by an increase of yields per rcre
and freedom from disease. Give it a
trial. Use a solution of 4 ounces of
corrosive sublimate to 30 gallons of

There is a market in Charleston
for both sweet and sour cream. Tf

ask us. We can dispose of it for you.
Support the Charleston county fair

Many of the people are delinquent
in paying taxes because they did not

CREAMERY
Chester. -- Exceeding all expectations
of its supporters by :\ margin
of six months in receipts of sour
cream and production of butter, the
Community Creamery at Chester
manufactured 3?000 pounds of butter
iu four ehurnings last work. Characterized
by County Agent II. K. San
ders as "Chester's Rig Baby," the
Community Creamery was organized
on a joint stock company plan, tlio
stock being jointly subscribed by business
men and farmers of Chester and
adjoining communities. Its purpose,
as the name implies and as the directors
insist, is to serve not only Chester
but all adjoining communities as
an outlet of sour cream and a consequent
steady cash market for a farm
product.
The farmers of Chester, Lancaster.
Fairfield, Union and York counties,
and other nearby sections have mad ^
possible an increase in the manufacture
of butter from 498 pounds the
first week of operation following the
opening on May 8, to 3,000 pounds
during the second week of July. Tho
creamery is now selling its product
to rities for t.ho most r?;irt within mi
v;
80-mile radius of Chester. No criticism
has yet been received on quality
of product. A man is employed on
the road selling butter on commission
basis. Quarter pound and pound
prints comprise the greater part of
sales, with a smaller amount of tub
and sweet butter going on the market.
Two cream routes have been organized
in Chester county, and th'*se
are helping- very materially in supplying
cream.
The creamery is n veritable information
bunau for the farmer shippers
and it is p'acing before them a
re 1 srrvice in this connection, says
C. G. Cushman, extension d liry specialist,
who states lh.it the j?!nnt manager,
Mr. Gilmer, is establishing the
creamery in the confidence of the farmers
by rendering such s*m vice and
bv individual let ers aiding here and
there in proper care and shipment of
sour cream. U. B. Caldwell, now general
business manager of the enterprise,
is giving liberally of his time
in making the creamery a going concern.

WEEVIL SPREAD
IS INCREASING
Utmost Attention Necessary at
Critical Period, Says Boll
Weevil Conference
Clemson College.?"The first generation
of weevils has been active in
the central and southern parts of the
state for the last ten days to two
weeks and it is rapidly appearing in
the Piedmont section. Infestation in
the southern section of the state end
the Pee Dee section has been comparatively
high in the last ten days,
while the farmers in the central and
northern parts of the state will Observe
SI I'.'iniil inri'oitco ami?*t-n
vfMMV ill 4\]UUI V l??~
festal ion during the next week or ten
days. The appearance of weevils at
this time and the increase in the lumber
of punctured squares is due to
natural developments and this was to
be expected."
The above statement was made at
the weekly boll weevil conference held
here, which was attended by Directors
W. W. Long and H. W. Barre,
President VV. M. Riggs, Prof. A. F.
Conradi and his field entomologists,
and other specialists, and at which
there were reports made from the
county agents and specialists as to
weevil conditions in the various counties.
Below are the details of the
facts and suggestions brought out at
the conference.
Weather conditions in most sections
of the state are favorable to weevil
development, and the rains are unfavorable
to weevil control. Over
practically the entire state cotton is
still continuing to fruit, but in those
sections where infestation runs from
iO to (iO per cent and with showery
weather, fruiting may not be expect9
] to continue.
Attention is particularly directed to
the fact that we have arrived at the
critical period in the production of
cotton in 1922, when the utmost attention
is necessary to keep the plant
fruiting and to reduce the weevil infestation
as much as possible. Farmers
who are poisoning are urged to
follow the directions laid down for
this work with great care and :o make
the different poison applications at
Hie intervals recommended just as
learly as possible, weather permitting.
Attention is directed to the fact
;hat because of the showery and moist
weather conditions in many sections
)f the state, the characteristic flaring
jpen and yellowing of the punctured
squares is not so noticeable as it is
in dry weather, and this fact is deceiving
many farmers as to the abun
lance of the weevil, for under such I
weather conditions the punctured |

squares remain green and keep their S
normal shape for a much longer pe- \
riod than under dry weather condi- ^
tions. *
At this time there are still sent in i
as boll weevils a number of insects
which however are other kinds. Also,
many squares are sent in wall holes
bored into them, either by the Noll
worm or the cotton square borer.
Furthermore, there is considerable
shedding on many farms, due apparently
in some cases to excessive wet
weather, while in other instances il is v
attributed to a lack of fertilising elements.
In some sections the rains
have retarded cultivation. An examination
of many of these fallen forms
shows that upward of 40 to 50 per
cent were squares and the balance
young bolls, and in some instances
the great majority of the square > and
bolls showed no weevil injury.
ri i *-% -
ijt'nttui uuiiook r avorahl;;
The general outlook is tint with *
favorable weather conditions, continued
cultivation and intelligent poisoning,
the infestation can i>e held down
in most of the fields until tlv? dispersion
period. * - *
It is repeated that frequent shallow
cultivation should be continued in
order to keep the plant in vigorous
condition and continued fruiting; and
that where cheap labor and propel
supervision are available, thorough
and systematic square picking is urged
every five days for the next several
weeks, with special attention to collecting
the punctured squares on the
plant as well as those on the ground.
MAKE REPAIRS
AS RUTS FORM
This is a time when the now dirt
roads in this county must be watched.
The frequent rains that continue to
fall softens the bed of the road and
as soon as the traffic breaks through
the crust, deep ruts begin to form.
At places where care was used in
obtaining the right mixture of clay
and sand, or where by accident this
result of the right mixture was placed
over the roadbed there is not so much
danger of bad places forming. In
many places on the newest and best
of our roads at this time it is clear
that the clay and sand was placed in
probably the wrong proportions and
of course this is not the only cause ^
of ruts. J
Anyway, whatever the cause of the f
cutting down into ruts, it will pay to
keep the repairs all up as they are
needed and not neirleet the vonds un
til they will have to be practically rc
built in some sections.
