Hamilton, state AAA adminis trator, reminds farmers that planting of winter legumes will net them as much as $1.50 per acre in benefit payments under the 1938 Agricultural Adjustment Administration program. ( To encourage soil-building practices and to help defray the cost of seeding, the AAA is paying for the seeding of vetch, Austrian winter peas, crimson clover, and burr clover. Maximum payments for which each farm is eligible, Hamilton explains, may be computed as the sum of the following: (1) 70 cents per acre of cropland in ex cess of one and one-half times the cotton, flue-cured tobacco, and. Burley tobacco acreage allot ments for the farm, plus any other special acreage allotments; (2) $1.50 per acre for the aver age acreage of land on which commercial vegetables were grown in 1936 and 193T (if grown only in one year, one-half the acreage in that year is used); (3) $2.00 per acre of commercial orchards on the farm Jan 1, 1938; and (4) 25 cents per acre of fenced noncrop open pasture land in excess of one-half the number of acres of cropland. To receive the maximum pay ment computed in this way, the farmer must fulfil the soil-build ing practice goal for his farm. £oil-building units making up this goal are equal to two-thirds the number of dollars maximum pay ment for which the' farm is elgi- ble. No payments will be made above this maximum. Each acre seeded to winter le gumes according to AAA specifi cations counts as one unit toward the soil-building goal. Deductions from the payments for failure to reach this goal are made at a rate of (1) $1.50 for each unit by Which the goal Is not reached. Specifications for the seeding of winter legumes are: Vetch must be seeded at an average rate of 20 to 25 pounds per acre; Austrian winter peas, 20 to 30 pounds per acre; clean crimson clover, 20 pounds per acre; chaffy crimson clover, 50 pounds per acre; burr clover, 50 pounds per acre. Inoculation is necessary, Hamilton said, on land where these legumes have not been grown before.

Prichard, Assistant Extension Agronomist) » Crimson clover, being a legume, must be properly < inoculated to give good results. Crimson clover is inoculated by the same organ ism as red clover, white clover, alsike clover, and hop clover. There are several methods of securing proper inoculation, (1) commercial cultures and (2) soil inoculation. Commercial cultures may be purchased from any re liable seed dealer and must be used as specified by the maker of the seed cultures. Soil inoculation is secured by getting soil from a field where any of the crops inoculated by the same organism as crimson clover have grown successfully. In securing the soil for inoculation, remove one or two inches of the topsoil and gather for your inoculation pur poses the next three or four inches of topsoil. One precaution that cannot be neglected is to not allow the soil used for inoculation purposes to become dry and exposed to sun light. The soil should be taken at once to the field where it is to be applied and either sown broad cast and harrowed in or it may be applied with an ordinary fer tilizer distributor by running fur rows from one to two feet apart and covering with a sweep. Apply three to four hundred pounds of soil per acre. Crimson clover seed can be pur chased either in the chaff or as Hogs Making Good Profits grades must not have passed their Edgefield by a score of five to two 50th birthday, on Saturday, the thirteenth of Closing dates for receipt of ap- August, at Edgefield.

C. x Clemson, August 27.—“Because of the increase in hog prices and the prospect for an increased corn crop, many farmers are directing their attention to the hog crop, and the results are the price of feeder pigs has advanced. Indi cations are that shipment of hogs for market will be greatly in creased, and the increase of in come from hog sales will add con siderably to the farm income.” This statement from Major W. J. Tiller, Chesterfield county agent, sounds the keynote of new* coming from many South Caro lina counties that farmers are finding another real “money jrop” in hogs. Witness two other typical reports: “Around 1500 pigs are being fed for market by adult growers, and 55 pigs were started on feed by 20 club boys, to be fitted for the jhow and sale at the State Fair.’ says Joe Graham, Jasper count., agent. “There are a great many hogs, on feed over Florence county, and we are working hard toward get ting hogs on the early fall market”, says Ed. Baskin, assis tant agent. “The plan is to finish pigs by hogging down early corn.’ Illustrating the money valut and profits from hogs are these figures from five county agents. The Marion Farmers Marketing j Association during the period February 5 to July 2 marketed 3099 hogs for $43,456.14, County Agent W. R. Wells reports. Tn«. total marketing of hogs fron. December 1 through July 2 brought $54,919.52. Sales records for the first half of this year show that Hampton county farmers marketed 3,670 hogs, returning $38,946.70 to the farmers, from the Ehrhardt Auc tion Market. This is approximate ly 50 per cent of the sales that have been made from this county, according to J. C. Anthony, coun ty agent.

SPENCER GLASGOW, Rep. ing Association, it was shown that from September 1, 1937, to July 1, 38 cars of hogs were handled for 179 farmers, who received $46,- 728.15, says County Agent S. W. Epps. In July says County Agent L. B. Massey, 424 hogs were handled through the Orangeburg County Association, the 95 shippers re ceiving $7,758.41. J. W. Talbert, assistant agent in Sumter county, reports that F. M. Johnson of Dalzell put $221 -in a few feeders, fed them for two weeks, using 60 bushels of corn and $2.00 worth of tankage, and sold them for $321.90.
