Price On Vetch And Winter Peas Is Lower This Year All farmers who are interested in sowing hairy vetch and Austrian win ter peas this fall are asked to get in touch with the county agent at once and indicate the amount of these ?eed that they will want. The price of vetch and winter peas this year is lower than it has been fc* many rears, and every farmer can well af- ftVd to seed these crops for feed and ;oil improvement. Vetch will be delivered to McCor mick for not over 11 cents per pound, ind winter peas for around 9 cents. An order has been placed for two ons, most of one ton of which has >een reserved already. The price of 3c«th vetch and winter peas promises to go uq. and every farmer in the county should take advantage of this low price and secure his seed early for planting this fall. Farmers are learning by hard ex perience that it is a losing proposi tion to work poor land, and there is no better way to build up our land than by flowing under a crop of vetch or winter peas every two or three years. Drop by the county agent’s office the next time you are in town and place your order for a supply of these seed. THOS. W.

I-I Rules For Feeding Milking Cows This statement was recently made by one of the foremost dairy special ists in the state; .“South Caiolina cows ape better bred than fed, and there is no doubt that the dairy pro duction in the state could be increas ed by fifty per cent if the farmers would pract’ce preper methods of feeding.” From observations threughout the county, I know this statement to be especially true in.our case. McCor mick County has as good a grade of cows as the average county in the state, but, wo a^e very slack in our feeding methods, and, therefore many farmers are not making the profit from their cows that- they should. Now, proper feeding does not mean the spending of a lot of money for high priced feeds for the dairy cows, but, lather, it means a 1’ttle more at tention tc the growing and saving of the feeds we can raise here on our farms, as I shall show you in th rt following listed set of rules for feed ing dairy cows: Rules For Feeding Milking Cows Roughages Feed 2 pounds good legume or bermuda grass hay per 100 pounds live weight to 'cc*ws running on good green grass pasture. Concentrates For average cows feed 1 pound grain mixture for each 3 pounds milk produced per day. Sample of Grain 1 Mixture To Be Fed WTh Legume Hay as the Only Roughage 300 lbs. Corn and Cob Meal. 100 lbs. Wheat Bran. 100 lbs. Ground Oats. 100 lbs. Gotten Seed Meal. Sample of Grain to be Fed When Bermuda or Pasture Grass Hay Is Used 200 lbs. Cotton Seed Meal. 200 lbs. Cotton Seed eMal . 100 lbs. Wheat Bran. 100 IbsL G round Oafs. Either the wheat bran or the ground oats in the above mixtur may be replaced pound for pound with velvet bean feed, made by grinding beans and pods together. Now, figure this out. For instance, your cow weighs 800 pounds and is giving three gallons of milk every day. Two pounds roughage for every 100 pounds live weight would make 16 poundr. hay per day. Then, figur ing each gallon of milk at 8 pounds, she is giving 24 pounds milk per day, and with 1 pound grain for each 3 pounds mTfei you would feed her 8 pounds grain per day. This will vary slightly with individual cows, and you can figure that for your self. We can grow all the materials in the abov listed feeds, and the man who ma::es his part of the money from the dairy business will be the one who arranges h"’s cropping meth ods to supply enough of these feeds to supply his needs the year around. -Yours for a bigger and better dairy industry i n McCormick County, THOS.

Weather House Added To The General Mo tors’ Proving Ground General Motors’ Proving Ground, the 1245 acre outdoor laboratory near Milford, Mich, where cars are ac- cuiately measured to fiud out the'r perfe rmancc ability, has in response to a demand for greater accuracy, added a weather house to its many irgcnicus sc: ntific checking devices. Adapted, l;ke so many cf its con- ranion devices at the Proving- Ground, to the solo task of evaluat ing precisely and impartially all makes of automobiles, the weather house i« perhaps, the only one of its kind in the world. Unlike other observatories, this one is not a weather forecaster, but a weather “hindcastei*” to uae a term employed by Proving Ground engineers. It is unique, again, in that it includes in its complete equipment, probably the only wind velocity indicator in oper ation outside of the U. S. Navy. It has been in use for several weeks, and is now operating day and night under the direction of skilled meteorologists. Its reports are avail able to all General Motors divisional engineers and daily reports ai« filed at Lansing with the Michigan state weather department. Here is a hypothefcal instar.ee of the manner in which the weather house assists the engineer in the pre cise task of measuring an automo bile’s merit: The Chevrolet engineering division, in checking back on the performance of one of its “B’gger and Better” models, might find that on May 9th its gasoli. r: consumption exceeded slightly that of the preceding and following days. It might be found, too, that a little mo?e water was re quired for the radiator and that fluc tuations were noticed in the speed, none of wh’ch effects would be dis cerned by the average driver. The Chevrolet engineers will set out to find the cause of these var iations. And one of the first aids they will call upon is the weather recorder. In checking back with the graphic weather records, the engineers might fied that the wind velocity var ed on May 9th between six and ten miles an hour. On May 8th and May 10th. it remained below five miles an hour throughout the day. Thus the en gineers know in making their com parisons that the wind was a factor in the change and to what extent. I.i like manner they are able to tell ex actly what effect the sunshine, ra n, humidity or snew had to do with performance fluctuations on any giv en hour of any given day. This def inite knoweldege is a vital help in developing new models and in adjust ing old ones. The wind velocity, incidentally, is one of the most important meteor ological teeters in mdtor perform- ana?. S(j marked is its effect, in fact, that precise tests are impossible when it exceeds 10 miles an hour. The complex and always reliable wind velocity indicator, which came into being in the United States Navy where it was evo’ved from a device originally used for transmitting mes sages from the bridge of a ship to the engine room, is therefore one of the most h’ghly considered pieces of quipment in the weather house. Weather has always been a buga- 'joo to automotive engineers, and the Proving Gromd has not neglected to place it among the most important lactors bearing upon performance. Means of recording temperature and Jarometric pressure had been in use iefoii the weather house was estab- ished. It remained, however, for his compact little building, whose wa'n ng flags are discernable from ill parts of the ground, to place weather cenputation on an efficient )a?is. About 1,000 f~et higher than Detroit with cold winters, warm summers and generdus distribution of snow and rainfall, meteorologists agree with automobile men that it is deally located tx: t LOMLUMUKET COTTON— Good Middling 19 Strict Middling 19 1-4 Middling 19 1-2 Cotton Seed. bu. 60 cts Breakfast Bacon 50 per lb.
