Blackville.—The buckskin man with his rattle-snake and other varmints made his appearance here last Thurs day; but their doings had preceded them through the columns of The People, and, to the honor of our Council be it recorded, they refused to allow him to exhibit his “srvakes and things” on the public streets v Business in town is growing dull now as the busy season js on hand with our farmers.

Much cheap cotton is being planted NOT WISE TO NEGLECT CORN CROP THIS YEAR Clemson College, April 17.—The supply of feed grains on farms in this State April 1st is definitely less than a year ago, according to govern ment reports, largely because of low yields per acre of both corn and oats in 1932, says D. W. Watkins, exten sion agricultural economist, reminding farmers that this is the time of year when step s to prevent a feed short age a year hence may be started. Under the circumstances Mf. Wat kins advises using hay supplies as this month but no corn—worth loss far save buying grain. than a dollar a bushel. Brother and Mrs. J. F. Byrnes left for Aiken cn Friday and Barnwell misses them sadly. Farmer John M. Farrell i s a man of wise and far seeing foresight. He plants this year 150 acres of corn on the Williamson plan. * Married on the 11th inst. by Rev. J. K. Goode at the residence of A. Willis, Esq., Mr. I. L. Tobin$|j, of Allendale, and Mis s Edith Barnwell, of Adams Run. Barnwell Lodge No. 16, K. of P., Much grain will nevertheless have to be purchased and this should make farmers reflect on the spread between the price received by the western farmer for -his grain and the price paid by th* South Carolina farmer to get R to hi s farm—about 25 to 30 cents per bushel of oat s and 35 to 40 cents of corn. This means that at present the South Carolina farmer must pay approximately the gross income from an average acre of cotton for about 17 to 18 bushel s of corn. “The intended corn acreage this year in South Carolina is shown to be about the same as that of last has elected the following to the Dis- year while for the country aS a whole trict Lodge meeting to be held in it win be 3 5 per cent legs » Mr> Wat _ Aiken next month: Grand Representa lives, P.

Better Homes Week Is April 23rd-30th Over 6,000 Local and County Commit tees Have Been Established Throughout Country. The week of April 23rd-30th has been designated as Better Homes Week accortiing to Miss Bessie Harper, of Aiken, State Chairman of Better Homes. Over 6,000 county and local com mittees have already been estahulish- ed throughout the U. S., and 130 com mittees are actively planing to olv- serve thu week in South Carolina by Planted January 3rd, begun har vesting April 3rd. Graded and packed in a pretty container, and they “top ped" the New York market. A. E. Meyer and Co., who received them said: “We never saw anything from South Carolina to equal them. Mexican peas have always been considered the best quality, color and size arriving, but in our opinion, these peas are just as good as any Mexican peas ar riving on the market, and the selling prices will indicate to you that the buyer also considered them very nice quality. Your second grade sold at as g od a price as does the Cali fornia first grade." N w, aftei reading the above para- kins continues. “Hence, with aver age yields in 1933 the price of corn a year from now would probably be higher. In South Carolina with a 10 per cent, smaller acreage of ( pats to be harvested this spring it will re quire at lea<t average yields of corn to supply farm requirements for feed grains. It is questionable, in the light of the information available now’, whether sufficient corn acreage i s being planned to care for the farm requirements of the State. “In fact, it look? now as if 1933 is a year (like many that can be looked back upon), in which the mis take may be made of growing cotton with which to buy corn. Observation shows that the most successful farm ers do not often have to buy corn and it is perhapg among tenants whose farming operations require the use of much credit that least attention is given- to an adequate com supply. Lard owners might do well, there fore, to encourage and even require tenanta to grow adequate feed SU P" plies. The growing of enough com to run the farm looks now like a bet ter plan for this year than taking chancus on buying it with the 1933 cotton crop, which wdll be overshad owed by a very large carryover.” Tuesday in April, 1938.
