LAURENS OIL MILL I CHAIVIPION,HAY GROWER OF ALL THE WORLD Anderson Jlun Grows I.urgest Ton nage of Hay on Single Acre. To Try for Record Again. Anderson, S. C, April 25.?It is not generally known that an Anderson county, South Carolina, farmer last year produced the largest yield of hay over raised off of one t?cre of land In the history of the United States. The feat was performed, if it Is proper to term it a feat, by J. R. Thompson of Pendleton, Anderson county, who rais ed from one acre of land a total of 12,705 pounds, creating the world's record for hay production to the acre. Mr. Thompson planted a combination of orchard grass, Italian rye grass, tall Meadow grass and Red Clover, the blend from the four making a very ex cellent hay. Mr. Thompson raised this crop of hay off of an average ordinary acre of land, but the same was produced under the direction of the United Sta:cs department, of agriculture, bu reau of demonstration. He followed instructions given him closely and minutely. He planted the crop, un der the direction of county agricultur al demonstrator, .1. \V. Rothrock, joint ly employed by the Tinted States gov ernment anil the Anderson Chamber of Commerce. This year Mr. Thompson is planting three acres to the same class of blend ed hay, and expects to duplicate his j fent of last year on the greater acre-: , age. The accomplishment of Mr. Thomp son, in producing the world's record hay crop from one acre is especially Interesting as showing the wonderful adaptability of Anderson and other Piedmont count lea for the growing of grasses, tints producing high gradeI hays and in Consequence building up of a great fat stock and dairying In dustry* In fact, Mr. Bradford Knapp, head of the Earners Co-Oporntivo Domostrntlon department, agricultur al department! at Washington City, is reported as having recently stated that no section of the world offers better opportunities for tin- raising of high grade stock than tin- Piedmont country. So embused tire the agricultural de partment with the successes made by Mr. Thompson and others fn this dl-i rectlon In Anderson and adjoining! counties, that state United States ag ricultural agent for South Carolina, Mr. W. VY. Long, with headquarters at Clonison College, vhen in Andor I son this week, Stated Hint his de partment would especially lake notice of this class of development, an do everything possible to encourage the raising of legumes and grasses adapt ed to the building lip of tin live stock and dnriy industry in this section. According to Mr. Long, who Is one of the best posted agricultural ex perts In the United States, the time is close at hand when ti;<- Piedmont counties will become among the great est fa>l stock counties In the United States, all of which will materially increase the value of lands and tend to build up other than destroy thorn, and will in time create alinos-t auto matically a great dairying Industry in this section.
