Cotton Improvement
In Barnwell County
Rapid Strides in Production of Better
Staple Have Been Made in
Past 10 Years
Blackville Pastor
Moves to Columbia
The Rev. L. G. Payne Delivers Last
Sermon.—Is Presented With
Silver Pitcher.
The Most Democratic Donkey in the Country
In the production of good quality
staple cotton Barnwell County has
made rapid strides in the past ten
years. Prior to 1926 less than 20 per
cent, of the cotton produced was of
inch staple or better.
No doubt that the State 5-Acre Cot
ton Staple Improvement Contes has
done more towards this improvement
than any other one factor. Beginning
in 1926 ten to twenty-five farmers
each year have entered this contest in
Barnwell County. In practically all
cases seed planted were bought direct
from the breeder. During the years
of this contest from the fields more
than twenty thousand bushels of good
seed have been produced which were
for use the following years by the
growers and their neighbors. These
seed were in many cases cf wilt re
sistant varieties which has contribut
ed materially towards controlling wilt
in cotton generally.
This county’s record in the contest
is evidence of the interest manifested
by fanners. Six States and district
prises have been won for a total of
11,525.00. These prizes consist of
one first State prise, two first district
and three second district prises.
Ginners are cooperating in the pro
gram to improvt the staple in the
county. One has recently placed a 50-
huahel order with one of the breeders
of the Istest strain of wilt resistant
cotton • seed which will prod or* an
inch sad sixteonth cotton. With other
porrhaaes of good seed thts r oanmnni
ty may expect mark improvement.

Blackville, Nov. 14.—A prayer
room filled to capacity, necessitating
the use of sn adjoining class room,
greeted the Rev. L. G. Payne Wednes
day evening as he spoke to his people
at the concluding meeting of his five
year pastorate in Blackville. The
Rev. Mr. Payne will go to Eau Claire
to fill the pulpit of the Baptist
church.
The subject of his talk for the
evening was “Look on the Bright Side
of Things.” At the close of the
service, Mrs. H. B. Grimes presented
him with a silver water pitcher en
graved with his name, from the church
body as a token of their love and es
teem and appreciation of his unselfish
service. A personal gift to her pas
tor at the same time was a silver gob
let.
Mrs. L. A. Pender, president of
the Missionary society then gave Mrs.
Payne a lace dinner cloth from the
membeis of the society. Circle No. 1
of which Mrs. Payne was a faithful
member selected as their gift a piece
of flat silver.
In acknowledging the gilt, the
Rev. Mr. Payne spoke of his years of
happy service here, inspired by the
friendly counsel of his board of dea
cons and cheered by the faithfulness
of the church body. He antd that
B’ackvtlle would ever be home to
him and that his home would always
be open to the people of thts com

Dr. J. E. MnUny » C
Kline, Nov. 16.—It is “finishing ui>”
time on the turkey farm of W. H.
Moody, Jr., who lives about three miles
from this Barnwell County town.
A few weeks ago, Mr. Moody had
1,000 turkeys on his farm, all raised
on the place from poults, the eggs
having been hatched in an incubator
in Columbia;
Right now, in batches of 30 or 40,
he is putting them in close confine
ment, feeding them heavily and finish
ing them off for the market. He has
sold some 300 or 400 already this fall
and others will be disposed of soon.
The birds are sold wholesale to a big
packing house, and are bringing about
25 cents a pound, dressed, wholesale.
When the great flock of about 700
birds move forward, with heads high
and wattles shining red in the sun,
the ordinary spectator is moved to
admiration. Appearance of a stranger
about the range is signal for a tre
mendous outburst of “gobbling” that
rather startles a visitor not accustom
ed to the noise a flock can make when
so minded.
Two dogs greatly assist Mr. Moody
_ _ . _ | in rounding up the birds, though as a

Barnwell Defeat. F'airfas.
Barnwell High School footliall team
took full advantage of its one break
here Friday afternoon and shoved
over a touchdown on a 40-yard sprint
by Baxley in the third period to de
feat the fighting Fairfax High team,
6 to 0.
After a listless first half, with the
only fireworks shown by Fairfax, in
two drives deep into Barnwell terri
tory which were averted only by
stout defensive play, Barnwell un- [
corked its cne scoring play in the
third period. Fairfax was able to
gain practically at will in the middle
of the field during the early stages
of the game but were unable to cross
the last white stripe.
Fairfax tried four forward passes
wi'th Baxley intercepting two and
Barnwell tried two with one inter- 1
ception resulting.
The lone touchdown of the game
was the result of a beautful run by
Baxley, who broke around his own
right end, reversed his field, picked
up a couple of interferers and scam
pered 40 yards for a touchdown, with
out being touched by a single tackier.
The try for extra point failed when a 1
pass intended for Lemon, was short.

product*. The Federal Surplus torn-
mcditir* t or potation arranges with
accredited relief and welfare agencies
in the State for the distribution of
all commodities, on such a basis as
will not interfere with regular com
mercial purchase* of these agencies.
More than three million pounds of
surplus agi (cultural commodities have
been supplied to those on South Caro
lina relief rolls through the Agricul
tural Adjustment Administration in
less than a year up to September 19,
1936, according to the county agent.
This distribution of food to the needy
in this State was made in cooperation
with the South Carolina Relief Admin
istration, since October 1, 1935.
The distribution, msde under the
supei vision of the Federal Surplus
Commodities Corporation, was possi
ble as the result of agricultural sur
plus - removal programs conducted
over the Nation at the request of
producers. The surpluses, which re
lieved price-depressed markets of a
burdensome oversupply, were distri
buted in South Carolina to those who
could not buy them in the regular
channels of trade.
Funds for the purchase of these
surpluses were made available to the
Secretary cf Agriculture by Congress,
and are used for the encouragement
of exports and the diversion of sur
plus agricultural commodities out
side the normal channels of trade and
commerce.
A wide range of surplus products,
kju-luding fruits, vegetables, grains
and cereals, eggs, dairy products, and
cotton goods were bought from practi
cally every major producing area of
the country, and quantities distribut
ed for relief use in all the States.
