Ashleigh," Sept. 11.—The rains in this section the past week .did con siderable .damage to the cotton crop and a number of farmers had the mis fortune to lose their hay crop, which had been cut when the rains started. Lee Lancaster lost his entire hay crop during the wet spell. * A number of sportsmen from Saluda have been camping in this section and enjoying fox hunting. The people had the chance of hearing the hounds chase “Ole Reynard” several morn ings last week. The only difficulty the hunters had wits keeping the hounds after tho same fox, as they are so plentiful that they could re lieve one another on the run. The best race was run Saturday morning, when* the prize was capturral near the Blackville highway at Toby’s Creek.

The purpose of the association, says, L. G. Neel, poultry specialist of the Extension Service, is to afford pro tection to the producer from unscrupu lous competition and fmahle the pur chaser to buy with confidence. A sur vey of the poultry breeding and hatch ing business early in the summer showed that practically all were in favor of some form of official inspec tion iand standardization. Membership in the new organization l will include flock owners And hatchery men, who will be designated as (1) S. C. Standard Flock owner, (2) S. C. Standard B. W. D. flock owner, (3) S. C.

Davies Local and Personal News of Blackville Blackvillu, Sept. 8.—The Blackville schools began their year’g session on * Tuesday morning. The invocation was given by Rev. B. H. Duncan of the Baptist church. Mr. C. J. Fickling then made a short address to the pupils, patrons and teachers, after which Supt. G. F. Posey gave a con cise talk on the aims and methods of our school. Three new teachers are enrolled on the school faculty—Miss Eulala Osborne, of Ninety-Six, who will teach homo economics; Miss Staick, of Elloree, in the intermediate department, and also Miss Eunice Ferebee, of Ridgeland. Mr. Cordell, gathered without further damage the staple. This hope proved vain, however, as showery conditions re turned Tuesday, when rains fell several times during the day. 1 00 At this writing it is absolutely im- 1 00 possible to estimate the size of Bam- I oo County’s cotton crop or the 1 00 amount of damage* that has been done by the rains. Guesses range from 12,- 500 bales to 15,000, the tverage being about the size of the 1927 yield. Such a crop, however, means that the farm ers will receive thousands of dollars less than they did last season, as many of them sold their cotton then at 20 , cents or better and there wss practical- Jy no damage by rains. So far this season, 18 H cents has been the top price for good cotton, with a decline of about a cent and a half a pound Monday and Tuesday following the publication of the government cotton estimate Saturday after the close of the New Yprk cotton «xchange. Ac cording to the estimate, the South will produce 14,439,000 bales this year, an increase of about 140,000 bales during August. No account wss taken of the damage wrought in the Eastern part of the belt during the first week Clemson College, Septy 8.—South Hartwell, Ga., will have charsre of September. In addition to the de- Carolina buys approximately 8,000,000 Athletics. pounds of butter annually from other States besides considerable quantities of milk and cheese, according to\nar- kdting studies of important centers in the State, say Ward C. Jensen a B. A. Russel of the Division of agri cultural economics of the South Caro lina Experiment Station, authors of “The Business Side of Dairying,” pub lished as Experiment Station Bulletin 249 and now ready for free distribu tion. The data gathered in the survey of dairying in the Stato, while not necessarily showing what to produce, give a picture of supply and demand that may serve as a basis in part for more intelligent production. __The survey shows that the State’s population increased 256 percent be tween 1870 and 1925 while the number of dairy cows increased only 165 per cent, with a considerable decrease in the number of cowgjbetwecii 1910 and 1928. Per capita consumption of dairy products in the State is relative ly low, the demand and consumption being checked undoubtedly by low quality and lack of uniformity of the products sold. It Is Important, say the authors, not only thabbetter quality and great er uniformity be secured but also that farmers study markets, relative prices, efficiency in production, etc. Friends regret to learn that LeRoy To this end th<i bulletin riveii much l F * nnin * E " tw »y’* Elko, vffl be relatives M'S Mrs. J.

Every crop this year has been a disappointment, beginning with as paragus and ending with cotton. As usual many gloomy predictions are being made, but “hope springs eternal in the human breast,” and no doubt some way will be found to “muddta through.” If the darkest hour Is just before dawn, prosperity, for this sec tion should be just around the corner. It is believed that the expenditure of thousands of dollars on Barnwell County^ system of , surface-treated roads will be of benefit to the mer chants of the county and is one bright spot on the dark horizon. - ' ♦ ♦ ♦ Lyndhurst Items.

E. Bowman, of this section, who hss had phenomenal sue- ceee *■ a farmer and expects to dear $8,000 this year above his living ex penses. Mr. Bowman started with three cows aad now has a herd of niag, and be says the height of his ambi tion i« to own n dairy farm with 89 head of dairy cattle, and to sell cream. He is new selling about Hi worth of cream a week and hie feed expanse Is very little—about $2 a week. He lives on his cream money entirely. How ever, he has the family garden and raises everything possible in the sum mer. What is not oaten then is for winter use. This snccmefnl farmer also hss acres of cotton, which, from indications, will yield 40 bales. He should net about $8,000 from his cotton crop ns clear profit. There are ftm business men who can show a $3,000 clear profit from their work during the last year, over and above all bring expenses. Yet there ere those who Mg there is no money on the farm! 0 Before Mr. Bowmen started la the dairy business he had beta borrowing from $500 to $700 each year from the bank for living expenses for dry goods and groceries. This year he has not borrowed a single cent be makn the living. He got a letter from a bank the other day wanting to if he was sick. The bank could understand why he had net been in this year to borrow money as so many other farmers had done. Mr. Bowman is a great believer in cotton seed meal for his cows. He says: “It is the only feed for cows. I cannot find anything that will equal meal and hulls. Lota of people say I feed too much meal, but I feed a cof fee can full of it to each cow at a feeding, and find'that I get results than from smaller quantities. r u™ .wv* 1^11^4 ~ *- • f Columbia, were here for several days 11 have not lolled a cow yet no4 have ’.1 ‘ * lii ium in Columbia.
