/ # > ? STATE SENATOR SAYS LOYALTY Needed at This Time to Make Cooperative Movement a Success Florence, S. C., August 19.?Good prices for tobacco and the atmosphere of confidence and relief make this section of the State a pleasant one to visit, according to the view of Senator Neils Christensen of Beaufort. He is here today to meet the direr to 1-3 of the Florence Chamber of Commerce and discuss certain activities of the South Carolina Development Board, of which he is president. Mr. Christensen reports that there is no tobacco in his end of the State | as they are taken up with truck. But he is interested in the co-operative movement. Asked for an interview, he offered the following suggestion: "Good prices for truck down our way has been greatly helped for over six years by our Truck Growers' As/ sociation. They are not all in it; but all benefit by it and recognize that fact. So two years ago when the Clemson College Extension Service, through Dr. W. W.

The Development Board put itself behfnd the effort, and we got the bill enacted into law in 1920. Since then several co-operative organizations have been formed, but the Tobacco Growers are the first to market under its provision. It is of the greatest importance to the whole co-operative movement in the South that their tobacco association makes a clean cut success. Loyalty to this farmers organization is needed. Loyalty, active loyalty, by every man, woman aiyi child who has any interest in crop prices; by bankers, merchants and professional men as well as farmers. Organized buyers under the old system are bound t<v fight you. Certain truck commission houses have fought our farmers truck association. They have clone it persistently and without quarter. 1 am told that certain tobacco manufacturers are doing that here. If they succeed prices will do down. . How it is possible that any farmer or anyone dependent on the prosperity of their section can tolerate such opposition is hard to understand. There is no quarrel with the fair and open competition of independent buyers, nor with the farmer who exercises his right to sell where he pleases, though we do not approve his judgment, but when they attack the cooperatives it is hard to excuse them. The farmer who sells independently, if he has any intelligence, knows tiiat his increased prices are due to the co-operatives. So even if he can convince himself*that he should stay 011 the outside to get all the benefits without sharing the burdens, yet lie should have sense enough to see that it is his interest to have the co-operative in the field.

C., Aug. 14 Revolt against the Harding Adminstration is widespread among the | legro Republicans, according to the | 'Washington Tribune," a representa-; ive and widely circulated weekly ; lewspaper of that race, published in .he National Capital. An editorial, >vhich charges the Republican party md the present Republican Adminis- I :ration with treachery in dealing with negroes, concludes with the slogan, 'Awav with Harding and this hypocritical Republican Administration." After asserting that if the president al election were to be held this fall, "Harding and his administration would meet the greatest defeat ever' piven a Republican candidate," the editorial in the "Tribune" continues. "President Harding has proved to be reactionary and capitalistic. Wall' Street is given far more consideration by this Administration than the common people. The common poopie placed this Administration in power but Wall Street is reaping the benefiit thereof." The paper then recounts the defeats the Harding Administration has experienced in recent primary elections, and the defeat of Senator Kellogg in Minnesota and declares that Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts is not safe, even if he wins in t.he primary. It says that the "colored vote ha. turned against him, (Senator Lodge; because of his film-flaming with the Dyer bill." "The colored vote all over the country has been informed of the hypocrisy of the Republican parts and this Administration," says tin editorial. "They are determined to give oveiV Republican candidate a set-down. The negroes in several states are iroing to put out candidates, and where they have no candidates they are going to vote for Democrats, Socialists and Progressive candidates. "Anything to defeat the Republicans" is the motto of the negroes, the "Tribune" says. The Republicans have had full power in the National Government, the paper says. "What have they done? Nothing." There is talk of negro Republican candidates for various offices in Kentucky and New Jersey, "Tribune" says, and the editorial urges a like policy in Illinois. "The neirro is going to split up his vote this fall and prove to the ! Republicans that they can no longer carry the negro vote in their vest pockets, and Lincoln's freeing the slaves no longer holds good as u drawing card for the negro vote." President Harding is taken t(i task for breaking his pre-electior promises to the negroes, particularly for approving the "lily whites" ir Vircrini;! nonrcrin mul 1 nnioi-mo' fr?i alleged refusal to consider a petition of 50,000 negroes for a review of the cases of the members of tht 24th Infantry, imprisoned at Leavenworth, Kas., and for his failure t< appoint negroes to the offices ir which previous Republican Administrations placed them. "This Administration has done less for tlie negro than the Wilson Administration," the "Tribune" says. FOR PEACH GROWING Clemson College?Many Caroliiu farmers are thinking of peaches foi profit. This is true especially ii certain counties of the Piedmont am Sandhill sections. Trips made recent 11 y, under the leadership of the Ex I tension horticulturist and interestec county agents, to the North Carolim (pear belt around Hamlet and tin north Georgia peach belt aroutu Cornelia, are partly responsible to .the increased interest. Our farmer: are learning that soil, climate, am I other conditions in this state an t similar to those in adjoining state j where peaches are being grown sue cessfully. Several county agents te! how their farmers are taking hold it the matter. j Ernest Carnes, Spartanburg. Then is more peach talk than ever sine the marketing season is on. We tool about 15 men who are interested ii commercial growing of peaches t the North Georgia fruit growinj section to observe gathering, packinj and shipping of commercial peaches We feel that this trip will give i great deal of information and encou ragement to these men. J. W. Sanders, Kershaw. On Jul 25th, a party of five farmers intei ost.od in rnmmpvriftl nonrh ornwini attended the peach show at Hamle! N. C., with the county agent. Fol lowing the poach show, a trip wa made through the commercial peaci orchards around Hamlet and othe points. Much interest was shown i the commercial peach project on thi trip and much valuable informatio was obtained relative to method of handling, packing, shipping, mai keting, and general care of th orchards. A. H. Chapman, Greenville.

Those who have cared for the orchards properly have been successful. Several of oui? farmers went to Cornelia, Ga., to study the orchard situation. I am sure that some of these men are going to plant commercial orchards this Fall. H. K. Sanders, Chester. About seven from Chester attended the peach show at Hamlet, N. C., this month to learn first hand information regarding the marketing of peaches and the possibility of its being a money crop as a substitute for cotton under boll weevil conditions. A. B. Carwile. McComick. The Merriwether and Clarks Hill people have proven to us that we have pood soils and climate for commercial peach growing. Messrs Hoffman, Owens and I are anxious to see the orchards enlarged and increased in number. About 12 cars of peaches were shipped from Meriwether and Clarks Hill this season, but the fruit was very light on account of the wet spring and summer. t o? TRUCK GROWERS FINl) COVER CROPS PROFITABLE The automobile has caused a grave shortage of stable manure among gardners. In the past these thrifty men hauled manure from the livery and private stables i.; Louisville the whole year. Their high-priced land could be kept in a high state of cultivation by a liberal use of manure and the turning under of crops of rye. These men are now experimenting with rapid growing legume cover crops. They must have both humus and an abundance of cheap nitrogen if they arc to continue to grow fine potatoes, onions and other vegetables. Last autumn about "20>) acres were sown with a mixture or crimson clover, hairy vetch and sweet clover as a demonstration. This mixture was made up of 10 pounds of crimson clover ami "> pounds of sweet clover per acre all carefully inoculated. The last of April tho writer visited with F. E. Merriman. county agent, a ten-acre demonstration plot of this mixture on the farm of Mr. T. l>. Miller at Medora. The field was sown during' the first few days of last October. This was late sowing for crimson clover in this latitude, but the field was exquisite. The party was interested in the heavy mass of green manure which would soon be turned under the soil. The party was also interested in wha might have been happening to the roots of these inoculated legumes. A I big, vigorous plant of hairy vetch (was dug up for inspection. Its ' i roots showed such a mass of nodules, |. they were taken to the pump for a careful bath. As the earth was ' washed away great clusters of 1101 dules could be seen. One cluster ' close to the surface was as large 1 as an ordinary marble. r If these quick growing legumes in ' an open winter can make such a mairniticant growth, they are worth ! sowing- each season. To be certain ' o f having a cover crop no matter 1 what the winter might be, rye could 1 be added to the mixture. With such ' a mixture, the wise farmer would hold his soil during the bad winter ; months. With such a green crop, ' he might do some grazing with hogs or sheep. With such a tangle of fertility, he would be certain to give his land an abundance of humus and nitrogen in the cheapest 1 and best form. JAMES SPEED. \ o ' In the Pee Dee section of South Carolina, the dairy cow is increasing ' in favor since the tick has been lick1 ed. Farmers who have been in finan1 cial straits on account of the boll : weevil's appetite or for other causes, i have been given credit to buy cows 1 by the bankers, who realize that a j milk producer is a pretty safe bet [ when there are no ticks around. In \ the town of Sumter, where there is a creamery capitalized at $30,000, the " I bankers have put up the money for . many carloads of cows that have i . Krtrtu Kvniuilit in duiiincr recent WCtn UI \/vi^M V ? O months. They take the recommenda? tion of the creamery manager as to ? the number of cows a certain farmer * may handle advantageously and give n him the needed credit. J The Sumter Creamery, of Sumter, ? S. C., is attracting a great deal of 5 attention in that part of the country. The capital stock of $30,000 is u owned by farmers and business men, who are interested in farms, no single person having more than $1,000 ^ worth of stock. In addition to the tvgular butter business, the creamery ^ retails milk, cream, butter, and cot'' tage cheese, and an ice-cream busi" ness has been started. A lunch room j" has been established at the creamery, ^ which is in the main part of the 1 town, and there is a rest room for the n convenience and comfort of farm wo* men. A few years ago, when the cattle tick still held this region, such an institution as this modern creamery would have been impossible. - I ? ? In a certain South Carolina comcj munitv there is a small farmer who , recently became an enthusiast on c' dairy cows. But before he tried cows j- he decided that bank stock was a p better investment. He put $1,000 of hard-saved cash into a bank that had just been organized. The bank, owing to bad management, went to the a wall and most of the money was y gone. Then he bought two purely bred Guernsev cows. Each cow had E a heifer calf. Before these calves d had reached breeding age a well>f known dairyman offered $f>00 for the 'M U..4- 4-U A At* r) fllAir UfAFA I'w 1 i uuv HIC unill'l ucviubvi viiv j itv1u K probably worth just as much on his * own farm. "Now I think I know a j- pood investment when I see it," he J{ said to the man who made Mm the offer for the calves. "Tf the Guem* sfeys had only come along* before I _ bought that bank stock!" r ?
