SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year $1.00 oix Months .75 Three Months .50 Dairy Herd Records Point Way To Profit NOTICE OF TAX SALE NOTICE OF TAX SALE Clemson, Nov. 26.—Members cf the four dairy herd improvement associations in the state are learn ing from their own records that it pays to have high-producing cows and feed them properly for milk production, says Floyd Cooley, ex tension dairy specialist, discussing the October records of the associa tion members. “In studying the records of the Coastal Association, we find that of the 14 herds on test in this as sociation, seven have an average milk production per cow for Oc tober of 500 pounds of milk and above, the other seven an average of less than 500 pounds of milk.” The herds in the high-producing group contain 418 cows with 340 i in milk. The low-producing group contains 312 cows with 241 in milk. The high group produced an average of 270 pounds of milk and 10.5 pounds of butterfat per cow more than the low group. The aver age return per cow above feed cost for the high group, $12.02, was al most twice that of the low group, $6.08, or exactly $5.84 more. The total cost of roughage and grain per cow was $4.37 for the high group and $3.84 for the low group. In other words, it cost 55 cents more per cow to feed the high-pro ducing group for the month but they actually returned $5.84 more per cow. If the 241 milking cows in the seven low-producing herds had been on the same plane cf produc tion and feed cost as the cows in the seven high herds, they would have returned $1407.44 more in the month of October alone, which is more than the salary of the tester for the whole year for the entire association”, the specialist con cludes.. Under and by virtue of a warrant issued to me by the County Treas urer of McCormick County, I have seized the following described prop erty to satisfy the taxes due the State of South Carolina and the County of McCormick, for the years 1934, 1935 and 1936, and the same will be sold to the highest bidder for cash on salesday in December, 1937, during the legal hours of sale in front of the Court House Door at McCormick, South Carolina, and the proceeds of the sale will be ap plied to the payment of the said laxes and the cost of said seizure and sale, to wit'!

C., Nov. 15, 1937.—3t. NOTICE OF TAX SALE -xx- Better Yields Shown In Corn Improvement Clemson, Nov. 13.—That larger yields and more economic produc tion of com will result from the corn campaign being conducted by county farm agents is clearly in dicated in current reports from va rious counties, particularly in the Coastal Plains area, where corn is sold largely through hogs. “The highest corn yields checked to date were 87.7 bushels per acre by P. B. Mixon of Olanta, the next highest being 78.8 bushels by W. T. Poston of Hanna”, says a Flor ence county report. “The records show 45 to 56 bushels average, which is very gratifying. Even farmers who did not agree to con duct com demonstrations have in creased their yields to keep their neighbors from outdoing them.” A yield of 57.5 bushels per acre is reported from Dillon county made by R. M. Jackson of Minturn, the average of 55 farmers being 35.3 bushels per acre and the average for 33 4-H corn club members be ing 38.3 bushels per acre. “This is more than double the average for the county”, says the county agent. ‘The corn demonstrations in Marion county indicate a very good average yield and this work has stimulated a great deal of interest as is indicated in our prospective crop of 1938”, says W. R. Wells, Jr., county farm agent. “In Horry county some fields of Latham’s Double are running as high as 60 bushels per acre”, says County Agent V. M. Johnston, “and the average for the demonstrations is running considerably above the county average.” Similar reports on com improve ment demonstrations have come from various other counties. Under and by virtue of a warrant issued to me by the County Treas urer of McCormick County, I have seized the following described prop erty to satisfy the taxes due the State of South Carolina and the County of McCormick, for the years 1934, 1935 and 1936, and the same will be sold to the highest bidder for cash on salesday in December, 1937, during the legal hours of sale in front of the Court House Door at McCormick, South Carolina, and the proceeds of the sale will be ap plied to the payment of the said taxes and the cost of said seizure and sale, to wit: The property of Mrs. O.
