De- parement of Agriculture v.iore in Mc Cormick on Thursday and interview ed Mr. J. J. Dorn, of M. G. & J. J. Dorn, Inc., and secured his co-oper ation with the government to study the grade and staple and tenderabil- ity of the cotton crop in McCormick County as it is ginned., The purpose of the work is to enable the farmer to know what cottdn to grow for which there is the best market de mand. Concerning this work Mr. Dickson and MA Roberts told the editor of the Messenger that congress has au thorized and directed the Secretary of Agriculture to make and publish three 01* mere estimates of the grade, staple and length, and tenderability of *the cotton crop as it is ginned. This work is being conducted by the Bureau of Agricultural Econom ics, United States Department of Ag riculture, through its Division of Cotton Marketing. Estimates of the grade, staple and tenderability of th^ cotton produced were made last year for the State of Georgia and a selected a.ea farther west, including 27 adjacent counties in Texas and Oklahoma. This year the work is being expanded to cover the entire Cotton Belt, following the satisfactory outcome of last year’s expcri nco in repoitirg the grade and staple length for the areas mention ed. The service will be conducted in co-opcrating with the land-grant col leges, tV agricultural cxpe.iment stations- and the extensloi services of the cotton-producing states. The reports will be issued monthly, as was the case last season—begin ning in October and .ending in April. These reports will show the per cent- ages of the various grades and staple lengths produced. The amount of cotton <•" qualities tenderable and unVndorable on futures contracts will also be determined. -*The data secured last yea:- showed that the cotton examined from Geor- #* • ■ .‘ gia and the Texas-Oklahclna area was of high grade but that a consid erable proportion of it was below average mill requirements in staple length Studies of Georgia mill con sumption show that Georgia mills consumed approximately 288,000 bales of 7-8 inch cotton but that Gcc*rgia produced approximately thr*«e times the quantity of short cot ton requiied by Georgia Mills. Geor- ga mills c .isumed over 600,000 bales of 15-iG inch cotton last year, but Georgia produced only 172,000 bales of that lergth. Of 1,110,923 bales sampled from Georgia, apprex- imately 3 per umt was less than 7-8 inch in length, and of 1,034,431 bales sampled in Texas and Oklahoma, 22 1-2 per cer.t was less than 7-8 inch in length. The samples will be shipped from the co-opeiating gins to field offices in Atlanta, jVVmphis, Dallas, Austin, r.nd El Paso, where they will be class ed. Field men have been selected to work in connection with each office, to make arrangements with represen tative gins for samples, and t;- main- ain contracts with ginne:»i and cot ton growers throughout the season Arrangements will be made with ap proximately 1 500 representative gins throughout the cotto n States. The samples submitted to each field office will be classified immed iately, and daily reports will be sub mitted in code td the Washington headquarters. A system has been de veloped which will make it impossible for any individual, either in the field or at the Washington headquarters, to know or conjecture the total fig ures in the final report. The report will be issued only from Washington at a n hour and date specified in ad vance. . The Bureau cf Agricultural Eco nomics, through its Division of Cot ton Marketing, is making at the time a study of the qualities of TO BE HELD IN AUGUST 22ND SUMTER SUMTER, Aug. 7.—Interest in the “Poultry Farmers Field Day” to be held here August 22, is increasing rapidly, according to J. J. Whilden, of this city, piesident of the South Carolina Poultry Breeders Associa-* tion. Farmers and farm women, and poultry breeders and baby chick pro ducers in the state are writing in to say that they expect to be present. This will be the third annual gath ering of this kind to be held by the State Poultry Association. Ben E. Adams, of Columbia, for mer president of the organization, has been named general chairman of the undertaking! and has accepted, Mr. Whilden stated today, following a conference with H. H. McGill, sec retary of the organization. President Whilden said that Mr. Adams was head of the association two years ago when the first “Field Day” was held and that he was familiar with the arrangements necessary to be made. Men and wcYnen who are regarded as authorities on certain phases of poultry work will be invited to take part in the program. Definite ar rangements with reference to speak ers and lecturers will be made next week at a conference between Presi dent Whilden, M:*. Adams, Secretary McGill and others. It is the plan this year, acc.* ding to officers of the as sociation, to arrange a constructive and entertaining program. Faimeis and bus.ness men of Sum ter County are taking r. great deal of interest in the movement, and have assured Mr. Whilden that they stand ready to assist in every way to make the gathering a success. Committees of local men and women are being formed to take charge of certain features of the program and t'o in sure a proper reception of all visi tors. C. L. Morgan, head of the poultry department of Clemson College, and Miss Juanita Neely, poultry special ist at Winthrop College, have been invited to co-operate with the breed ers and fanciers of the state in making this meeting of value those who attend.

Robinson Insurance Agency PHONE 66 McCormick Chevrolet Introduces New Utility Truck FEDERAL AID The opponents of the Curtis-Reed bill, providing for the establishment of a Department of Education with a secretary in the President’s Cabinet, after seeking and not finding other grounds upon which to base their op position have cried insistently that : t wcold interfere with the rights of the states, even though they have been unable to point out any provis ion in the measure that would allow federal control of the schools, or pro vide federal aid for the states. It has also been noticed that these • so-called ardent supporters of states’ rights have not raised a voice or even made a small protest about federal aid that the states arc receiving yearly in large amounts. The grand total distributed to the states last year by the Federal Government was $144,410,937.23. The liii> of demar cation between states’ rights and fed eral aid is so nearly non-existent that no one has attempted to define it. Maryland, where Governor Ritchie The Chevrolet Motor Company, whose unprecedented sales and pro duction record c«f placing on the road 750,000 “Bigger and Better” models since January 1, establish a new mark for the sale of a mw model, announces this week the addition to its line of a r-.nw utility tfuck The new truck, which embodies several improvements, chief of them a four speeds forward transmission, four wheel brakes and channel steel bump- en went into production in the var ious Chevrolet plants July 2. It will be on view this week in dealers’ showrooms throughout the country. The four speeds forward trans mission will insure a more efficient application cf engine pewor. The extra low speed gear provides maxi mum pulling pc over on heavy roads and steep grades while normal driv ing requirements are m.^t as usual with second, thi:d and fourth speeds. A power take-off port, to which var- # : ous p^wer devices ca n be applied, is a further feature of the transmis- sic*r. The four wheel brakes are non-lock ing and supply a total of 317 square inches of braking, aside from an en tirely separate and independently opei*ated set of emergency brakes on the rear wheels. The front wheel has so often avowed himself the brakes are of the internal expanding same cotton required by the mills of the United States. The c«bject of the two projects is to supply information which will benefit growers by en abling them to plan the quality of their p: eduction, so far as may be consistent with their growing condit ions, in such a way as to profit most from the market demand. FORD BATTERIES $7.95 WHITTLE BATTERY SERVICE 622 BROAD PHONE 1166 AUGUSTA, GA. enemy of anything that ti*ends to in terfere with the rights of the state, received du:ing the fiscal year end ing June 301927, $1,545,155.95 of which $650,108.91 was for co-opera tive construction of rural reads; $73,196.60 for co-operative vocation- ad education; $589,540.01 for the na tional guard; $60,000 for agricultur al experiment stations; $59,217.76 for co-operative agricultural exten sion work; the remainder being dis tributed over a variety of objects, such ns welfare, hygiene and matern ity, agricultural college and other concerns in the state’s interests. The majority of the other states received like appropriations for similar inter ests. We are aware of no instance where the Federal Government because of this aid, has attempted to dictate who should ride on the roads or what the speed limit should be, what should be planted or how it should be plant er, or how the children should be raised. Ye.t when a Department of Education is nrntioned, you hear the opposition cry about how the schools would be dictated to by the Federal Goveinment and forced to use such text books and teach such theories as the Department of Education would demand. All of which, of course, is a bunch of tommyrdt, the creation of imaginative pessimists who have no other ground upon which to oppose a progressive measure. H. type, the rear wheel service brake of the exterral contracting type, insur ing quick and positive stops regard less of grade or speed. A new low leading height, 41 in ches from the ground, is made pos sible by a special “kick-up” feature of the long chassis. An unusually long frame support, extending behind v thn centei' of the rear axle- assures proper load distribution. Rigorous and exacting tests, cov ering thousands of miles over all types of roads and under winter and summer climatic conditions, were applied to the new truck at Gener al Motors Proving Ground before the Chevrolet engineering division ap proved of it fop productoin. ■ - ■ — The grain sdrghums furnish very gtood feed for all kinds of livestock, particularly in the semiarid regions of the country. They are very sim ilar to corn in chemical composition. The amounts of carbohydrates in corn and grain sorghums are practi cally equal, while edrn contains more fat and the sorghums more protein. Grain sorghums should be ground ex cept when fed to sheep or poultry. Thn entire heads of a grain sorghums are often ground, the resulting meal (head chop) being similar to corn- and-cob meal in foed value. This head crop is especially recommended for feed where the supply of rough- age is limited. f . / .
