WORKERS MAKE GOOD SHOWING Poultry work in South Carolina has never had a brighter futurte. The increase in production and the improvement in breeding has never been greater in any one year than in 1022. Under the supervision of the Home Demonstration Department, 39 Women's Clubs, with (>08 members, 30 Community and 3 County Poultry As sociations with a membership of 020 men and women, and 56 Boys' and "Girls' Clubs with (>39 members, have had instruction and individual help in poultry culture. The number of purebred fowls raised last year was 29,870 as compared with 117,75(5 this year. The total value of poultry products sold and used at home amounts to $135,568.26. Reports from the county agents show that more than 364 meetings have been held with boys' and girls' clubs and equally as many with adopts. Much marketing of poultry has been done by the agents, and all found ready sale on the South Carolina markets. Of the $66t980.48 brought from the poultry sold, a yreat part of it found sale through the help and suggestions of the home demonstration agents. Several large poultry farms have been established this year. One is "keeping this winter 3,000 layers, and a number have as many as 1,000 hens. "Numbers of large incubators have >?een installed and baby chicks by the thousands will he turned out next fpring. No state is better suited for the production of poultry than South Carolina and with a little more time, our fanners and breeders will keep pace with the best of poultry producing states. From an account of what Judge Cardfi Connecticut, had to say about the quality of the Reds at the South Carolina Rhode Island Show, at Chesterfield "In variety, South Carolina Rhode Island Reds of single comb variety are on par with any exhibit ever staged in an Eastern show, including the biggest city and hub of the universe. As a Northern and Eastern iudge who has handled the world's best, I am staging without "equivocation or mentai reservation that this grand class of Reds at Chesterfield was far superior to any exhibit I have judged this season, and would compare favorably with the best winter shows North, East and West." PROSPECTS FOR FARMERS 1923 Twelve months ago most of the six million farmers of the United States were starting on the long hard climb out of the v.alley of economic depression. They have not yet attained the "heights which are bathed in the grateful sunshine of prosperity. Some have fallen by the way. Others are still in the valley. Nevertheless, as we stop a hit and look, backward we can see that very considerable ground has been pained by the great majority, and we can enter the New Ye;ir with renewed hope and with that courage which comes from the realization that we are really making progress. A y *ar ago, when speaking of the prospects for farming in 1922, I said that while there was no reason to exS?ect boom times for the farmer in the near future, there was promise of better times, both for the farmer ;and for those whose business is largely dependent upon him. The years have brough fulfillment of that promise. Speaking generally, times are better, much better, than a year ago, both for .agriculture and for industry. Crops have been good, on the whole and prices of the major crops are wostly considerably high'er. While there has been a corresponding advance In the prices of the things the farmer must buy, the total sum which jfarmers will received for the crops of this year will be greater by a billion and a half dollars or more than that xfchich they received for the crops of 3ast year. This will certainly* mean V>etter times on the farm, and farm folks will be able to ease up a lit*^ <?n the grinding economy they were forced to practice the preceding year. The labor cost of producing the ?rqps of 1922 was still further re* ************************* I-WW/WAVWJWtVAV, ;j?|*********************** \ :ak It-.51 i vc :!

Twenty-eitfin, club markets have boon pstiihlishpd in twpnt.v-fnnr roun ties; twenty of which are in operation at tiie present time. In most counties the sales are larger during the fruit season. In smaller towns, the markets are in most cases disconduced. There was some substantial reductions in freight rates. Mucli helpful legislation has been enacted and more will be this winter. Interest rates are lower .and the credit strain has been eased. This has made it possible for many farmers who were rather heavily involved to refund their obligations and get themselves in condition to win through. There are still some dark spots. In some sections weather conditions were unfavorable and crops were short, and farmers in these sections ,^re having a very hard time of it. Freight rates are still too high, especially for those who must pay for a long haul to market. Taxes are high, but this is largly due to the increase in local taxes, over which the farmers themselves must exercise control. There has geen a gratifying growth in farmers' co-operative associations and more of them are being organized on a sound business basis. Aside from the help which has been given by legislation and by administration activities, strong economic forces are at work to restore a more normal relation between agriculture and other industries. The peril in the agricultural depression is more keenly realized by other groups than ever before, and on every hand a sincere desire is being evidenced to do what can be done safely to help the farmer better his condition. uverytmng considered, we have pood reason to expect still better things for argiculture in the year of 1923.

SANTA CLUB IS SUCCESS The Santa Claus Club, organized by the men's bible classes of the churches ' of Conway, turned out to be a great i success. By Christmas eve the mem- 1 bership was large and the money contributed as membership fees, amount- ; ed to a nice sum. The club appointed a committee to I j makr? investigation among those who' would need these gifts. This was for the purpose of finding out the most needy .and worthy of the donations, ' and to make it possible to purchase the things that were needed and most desired in each individual case. A long list of names of the members of the club appeared in the issue of last week; but these were not all.

CABINETS The office of the county superintendent of education has recently put in 1 a cabinet of drawers in one end of ! the room in order to take care of the increasing business of the numerous 1 school districts of this county. The work was planned by the superintendent of education and the plans were carried out by W. H. Moore, an experienced carpenter and builder, of Conway. Without this new furniture the office was seriously handicapped in taking care of the papers belonging to the different departments. ?o Handsome greeting cards were mailed out from Gallivants Ferry last week to all patrons and friends of the large business of George J.
