Oorn '
f The only vacation time for the garden
is midwinter. Keep the garden i
j busy now producing fall vegetables. <
Supply moisture and bring the seed i
Jj up by making a firm seed bed, firming 1
>, the seed in the soil, keeping up culti
J; vatio?n and maintaining a dust mulch.
!jj Mniember that the following vege- :
& table* require under normal conditions i
jj the number of days indicated before
J ready for use: Snap beans 42 to 56 1
days; sugar corn, 56 to 70 days; cab
| bage, 119 to 140 days; tomatoes, 105 i
J. to 12G days; beets, 49 to 63 days; ,<
{ sweet potatoes, 133 to 140 days. Plan
to make successive plantings as long
as possible.
The tomato worm is bad and is the
same insect that eats sweet corn. Good
results might be had by planting corn
in the tomato patch as a trap crop or<
bait for the tomato worm, as he prefers
corn to tomatoes. Plant the corn
j at such times that it will just be com}
ing into silk when the first fruit is
( forming on the tomato.
Remember that the strawberry beds
will not produce first quality berries
I after the third year. Plow up the old
\ and plant a new bed. On newly plant- ,
ed beds keep the plants growing so
[ they will store up energy for the crop
! next season.
If beans, tomatoes, fall squash, col/
lards, and cabbage have to come from
neighbor's garden or the distant
i- trucker, this will be his gain and your
! lossy because fall vegetables are all
vaw scarce and high.
Radishes, peas, squash, early cabbage,
onions, and corn planted in the
, spring gardens have about done their
? bit by this time. Do not allow these
to stand as summer hotels for diseases
and insects. Clean-up, plow-up, and
follow with other crops.

: BUSINESS OF
FEEDING HOGS
Clemson College.?Some South Carolinian's
still maintain that "there is
t no nK?ney in reeaing nog's in spite of
the Wjpuess of a majority of our low
country farmers since the weevil has
driven them to this business. It would
be interesting to know how many businesses
can show as high a percentage
of years in which a profit has been
made as does this business of hog
feeding. A recent survey showed that
feeding good hogs was profitable in 18
out of the last 22 years, that it was an
even break in two years, and .that
money was lost in the other two.
Probably the explanation of the
failures on South Carolina farms lies
in the feeding methods followed,
thinks D. T. Herrman, Extension
Swine Specialist. The University of
Wisconsin recently finished experiments
to determine the value of milk
products in hog feeding and Mr. Herrman
quotes from them:
/ Previous estimates of the value of
skim milk have been worked out by
' comparing the results from feeding
grains alone with the results from
feeding grain and skimmilk. This is
obviously not a fair basis for compavi'
son. for no common sense farmer now
feeds his pigs such a poor and inefficient
ration as grain alone when they
are not on pasture."
A survey to determine how many
farn^rs in South Carolina would class
as '/common sense" accordinng to this
stAndard might bring out some startling
information.

FARMERTAKES
TO AUTOMOBILES
The southern farmer is taking rapidly
to the automobile, according to
figures given out by the state highway
department. The greatest gain
in the last year in automobile registration
has been in the agricultural
states and largely in the south. The
Increase in automobile purchasing in i
in the cotton belt seems to go hand in j
hand with the information that the j
greatest business improvement in the
nation in the past year has been in the
south.
And there is prospect of increasing <
speed in the rate of automobile purchasing
in the south, for as yet the
southern states havp fewer cars to
the number of people tnan any other
sections of the country. The six states
which trail the list, as regards population
per vehicle are Alabama, Mississippi,
Georgia, Arkansas, South Car
olina, Louisana and Tennessee. It is
considered probable that the large colored
population in these states brings
about this situation. The highest rate
of population per motor vehicle in the
south is in Florida, with one automobile
for every 7.6 persons. Alabama
has the lowest rate, with 24.5 persons
per vehicle. There are 16.8 persons for
every motor v vehicle in South* Carolina.
There are today in South Carolina
according to the highway department
officials, as of July 1, a total of 103,049
motor vehicles in South Carolina.
Of these 94,272 are automobiles, 8,777
trucks, 445 motorcycles, and the
total fees paid to the state highway
department during the first 6 months,
for licenses, were $811,220.
The number of motor vehicles in
.South Carolina increased from July
1, 1923, according to the highway department
figures by 18,600, an increase
of 22 per cent. For the first
half of this year the number of registered
motor vehicles increased over
J,he number at the end of 1922 by a
percentage of 7.3 or 7,071 vehicles.
The rapid increase in the number of'
cars and trucks, as related to population,
according to highway officials, is
shown clearly by the fact that on January
1, 1921, there were nine states
which had more than twenty persons
to the motor vehicle, while today only
three states are in that class. At that
time, two and a half years ago, three
states hod less than sir persons pei
vehicle, as against eigne scares as ar
present.
The greatest pain in percentage of
registration during the year which
ended July 1 was in West Virginia
with 40.6 per cent. Kentucky came
next with a pain of 35.5 per ctnt. Then
came Mississippi. 35.1; Utah, 32.fi:
Ijouisana, 31.5: Arkansas. 30.6: Florida,
29.4; California. 28.6. NortVi Carolina's
gain was 28.5. Georgia's was 17
percent.
On Julv 1 thore were in the United
States 13.048.128 reprictered motor vr
hides. This w?r an increase in the
.year of 2,440.001. an averare pain of
23 per cent over the registration of r
year before. Sin^e December 31 thp
number of vehicles increased 685.751.
Comparison of t^ese figures would indicate
that tb<* rountrv may expect b*.*
the end of 1023 another train of mo *
than a million motor vehicles. The 1sf
hnlf of 1023 is ahead of the first half
of 1022 by 683,751.

fact that his garden enthusiasm has n

These are the times when soils
without humus hum plaintively: "Nobody
knows how dry we are."
Permanent prosperity rests upon
the right relation between the prices
of things the farmer sells and those
he buys.
It does not take a magician to
change forage crops into milk and
cream. Any South Carolina dairy
farmer can do it.
The best way to treat the non-producing
hen is to fricassee her "without
benefit of clergy."
A heartening thought for Southern
/dairymen: We can get more grazing,

possible in the highly developed sections
in the Northwest.

THB HORRY HERALD, PC
WRITES LETTER ~
ON HIGH POINT
Man Now There Gives Information
About Conditions
G. W. Watts who is now working at
High Point, N. C., writes a letter to
the Horry Herald and states the facts
regarding conditions for the benefit of
those who might contemplate moving
there.
High Point is a factory town. Its
factories are making furniture and
selling it throughout large sections of
the South.
The climate of the town is cool and
pleasant, Mr. Watts says. Most of the
people are enjoying good health, Horryites
especially.
Answering a number of letters written
to him by those who have asked
him as to opportunities there, he says,
that chances are* rather bad at this
time. He would not advise any person
to make a sacrifice of their homes or
property in order to be able to move
to High Point at this seaspn of the
year; and he would not advise any
Jlorryite, who is doing fairly well, to
quit Horry and move there at any
time.
High Point as a manufacturing
town offers fair opportunities for
men and women in the professions, as
also for those who have mastered]

for the laborer by the day are not so
good. Waft*e? l'un from $2.50 per day
upward to not more than $5.00.
As in other instances Mr. Watts' experience
no doubt bears out the statement
that home is a good place for
people to stay, when that home is in
Horry County. Those who sell out and
move are often found coming back.
There is a tendency to think that
there are better places for men and
women, and boys and girls, but going
to such places usually turn out no better
success for those who pay their
money and lose, their time in making
the move.
Our homes in Horry County are
what we make them. Success does not
depend so much upon place or time,
but more upon the capacity and ability
and the willingness to work, rnd the
self denial of those who are living
their lives.
