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.

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.

again
A number of people who gave up their telephones during the
stress of the past twelve months have told us that this proved
to be false economy and they have had their service restored.
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.
Telephone service costs so little and the advantages are
