THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 19S1 Interest in Cream Station Is Shown Receipts Monday Showed an .Increase of Abcut Forty Per Cer£, Over First Day. Attain Monday afternoon the Barn well Cream Station was open and cream was bought. Every Monday afternoon at 2,o’clock farmers are ask ed to bring in their cream and be on time. This is necessary so that all cream may b e weighed and samples taken for testing, in order that this can be done at one. time, then every body paid for their cream at the conclusion of th^ weighing and test ing. *•- There was an increase in receipts this week of about 40 pe r cent over the first week. One new patron was added to the li*t. There are a large number of farmers who are now get ting their cows together, feeding and effing for them properly, buying one or two or three more cows and next week’s receipts should show a big in crease. W. H. Manning, C'junty Au ditor, bought three or four more cows which he is beginning to milk this week. Good cows, well fed and cared for, using home gr wn feed* entirely will make a good showing. Farmers are urged to have only such a number of cows a s can be fed from supplies of home grown feed. The average number of poundg of concentrate grain feed per cow per year is: Corn-and-cob meal 420 lbs. Cottonseed meal 420 lbs. Ground velvet beans 420 lb«. Ground oatj, 420 Iba. Most farmers have on hand a sup ply of corn in the shbek, cotton seed meal and oat g and will have later in the fall velvet beans in the pod. Several suggested grain mixtures are given here and if cow* are provided with good grazing along with all the good hay (pea-vine or soy bean), they will produce profitably provided they are cared for and watered and handled properly otherwise as they Khould be. Different cream mixtures which may be used are listed below: No. 1:—100 Iba. ground oats; 100 Iba. cottton seed meal; 100 lbs. vel vet bean meal; 400 lb-*, of gr >unci.eob i and com meal. No. 2:—300 lbs. of corn anti cob meal; 200 lbs. of velvet bean meal. No. 3:—200 lbs. of velvet bean meal; 100 lbs. ground oats; 100 lbs. corn and c-b meal v No. 4:—400 lbs. corn and cob^rneal; 100 lbs. of wheat bran; 200 lbs, cot ton seed meal. The last two mixtures recommend ed are to be used when ordfciary gra~s hay is being fed. The first two mix tures when good soy bean or cow pea hay i 8 being fed. Feed one pound of grain to each two and one-half to three lbs. of milk produced. Another way to ex press it is to feed 7 lbs. of grain for each pound of butter fat produced per day. Fanners are asked to read careful ly and keep circular letters and news articles, giving fnformation about milk cows; the care and attention; feeding; producing and marketing of »:u r cream.—Prepared by H. G. B^oylston, County Agent. HOPOCATRUC By G. Chalmers McDermid. I’m back on the job, after a hard arned vacation. Had a good time, aw plenty of “scenery,” and caught few nice fish, played some real high core golf. ,and lost 8 pounds. The ist part was the best. Western North Carolina doesn’t e«n Ao know that there is such a rord in the dictionary as “depres- ion.” I saw literally thousands of utomobiles from all over the coun ty, traveling the roads up there. And how those roadside marketing .i. miriin iit -i ■ -i T—-^i ^ lr mmr 1 : - , . - .... . — . of stands dot the roadside sell- C peashss, apples, cider and TRYON ipsa. And the TRYON grapes are i oaea they gpt the best money for. ’Why? Not because the grapes fromTryon are go much better than Saluda grapes or Hendersonville grapes, maybe, but because, years ago an enterprising horticultural ist set out a few grape vines at Tryo:i and told th e public about them. As a child I used to hear about Tryon grapes. I visited the vine- yardg from time to time, and aa I grew older, saw other vineyards, and was impressed with them. Until the last few years, I had almost forgotten about Tryon grapes, but they wer e brought very forcibly to my attention the other day, by the hundreds of standg along the North Carolina highway's, .most of them ad vertising grapes, and Tryon grapes. Tryon grapes were selling for 20c per basket. and ju?t grapes were bringing 15c. Was there a differ ence?—maybe. To my mind, the idea of capitaliz ing the name wa 3 splendid. It is 1 advertising Tryon to every traveler 1 of North Carolina highways, it if j helping the vineyard men, and above all it is creating a big market • for North Carolina product* i Have any of our South Carolina town* be-*n able to duplicate such a feat? We sell lettuce, bean*, toma toes, strawberries and peacher, but they are just another lettuce, peach or gtrawberry. i How much good we would get . ut of it if we could combine^on^ccm- munity names, and push the sale'-of Orangeburg Pecans, Camden Peaches, Beaufort Lettuce, Barnwell Cftunty Asparagus Saluda Turkeys, and the like. TRYON grape* are good, don’t mis understand me, “they had to b*. good, to get where they are.” • I^ots cf people have asked me about South Carolina’^ 19*< crop of pecans. From my observation, I should say that the crop is about normal f5i the State, but the prices will probably be in sympathy with other articles of food. And while we are on the subject of pecans, why not oenshlor them a* Christmas gifts. By so doing, you will not only give your friends a gift which will be highly appreciated, but you will create a bigger market for South Carolina products. A great many of our pecan growers are putting them up in Christmas boxes at reasonable prices, and if you don’t know who they are drop me a line, in care of this papeiyjrtid we’ll tell you. •— Where the Trouble Is. Th e Barnwell People-Sentinel says it has located the cause of the de pression. Col. Edgar Brown dug up the statistic* of Barnwell County from the census reports. Mules, hogs, cows, horses and wagons have all de clined in number, while automobiles show nearly 100 per cent increase. The figures given by The People- Sentinel show that there has been on ly a slight decrease in number of mules; horses declined from 1,003 in 1920 to 415 in 1930; cows came down to nearly one-half; hogs declined from 7 579 to £,551: more than half the wagons of 1920 disappeared in the decade following. All the increa e ed wealth of the county, among th P commodities men tioned, is r evealed in the number of automobile?- In 1920 Barnwell Coun ty had 884 motor vehicles, and in 1930, it had 1,681. Everything the county had which could produce a profit declined, while the only commodity which costs mon ey to operate and which, aside froril a comparatively small part used for producing, operates at a loss, shows a big increase. Barnwell County is no different from Bamberg; we do not point the finger of scorn at our sister. We ai^ just as bad off. We have not' the figures for this county; but we do not doubt for a moment that they are not! just a* painful. People everywhere have centered upon' non-essentials to their sorrow. New they would like to get away from it, and are facing a brick wall.—The Bamberg Herald. * First Elephant Billed as “Natural Curiosity” It may interest some folks to learn that the first elephant, the “celebrated Buffon." made its debut in this coun try in the spring of 1799. On exhibition at the Essex institute, a rauseufti at Salem. Mass., Is the original poster announcing that “the greatest natural curiosity ever pre senter! to the curious'’ will he on dis play at the Market house “from sun rise to sundown, every day in the week.” The date on the poster is August 29, 1797. The elephant was brought to this country from Bengal aboard the ship “America,” commanded by Capt. Jacob Crownlnshield, a famous Sales ship- ahiiiteri-f^flded at-^wTupji In 'April;"- 1797, It was sold by Captain Crownin- shield for $10,000. Though referred tu In the announce ment as a “mere colt,” the elephant was four years old and weighed slight ly; more than 3,000 pounds. Next Car ■Mi if♦ will be "if.'?-* 'U A FORD” J. YThen you buy a Ford there are two things you never have to worry about. One is reliability. The other is long life. Here' ’• an interesting letter from a Ford owner in North Carolina: .- » # X* * • “My Ford was purchased May, 8, W28, and has been run 121,767 mile*. It has never stopped on the road for repairs of auy Lind what soever except punctures., “The brakes were relined at 101,000 miles. My gas mileage aver aged 21 miles to the gallon, and on tires. lO.OOfl miles per tire. I travel over all kinds of road conditions—vnountainous and flat. “I consider this a wonderful record and I assure you my next car will also be a Ford.” This is just one of many tributes to the reliability and long life of the Ford. A Ford owner in Iowa tells of driving his Ford 73,000 miles in a single year. Another writes of 120,000 miles of good service. Think ahead when you are considering the purchase of an automobile and consider what it will he like after thou sands of miles of driving. Will you still be satisfied? Will you still say “it’s a great car”? If it’s a Ford, you know everything will he O. K. It will he taking you there and hack in good style, just as it has always done. And you will have saved many important, , worth-while dollars in cost of operation and up-keep and ^ low yearly depreciation. FIFTEEN BOON TYPES $ 430 r ® $ 640 F.O.B.

Those who have not had their service reinstalled, and those who may be hesitating about having a telephone of their own, are reminded that telephone service is no lo«ge£*-regarded as an expense, but is considered a necessary home convenience and economy. , . No other money you spend can bring you more actual value. Thousands of telephone subscribers know the truth of this. They do not consider their telephone statement as a “bill,” but rather as a reminder of pleasanter living and broadened opportunities. ' Those who have previousfy enjoyed telephone service ap preciate it more than ever; new subscribers wonder how they ever did without it.
