The settlement of the strike and the return of the miners to work is an ad- _ ditional 'laurel in the crown of glory" that the people of the country owe to Woodrov Wilson. MARKETING ASSOCIATION Now -hat the Williamsburg Marketing association is assuming shape in the form of a most important county organization and promises to be in effective operation next year, it behooves every farmer in the county to stand squarely behind the project. it is for his own good to do so as weel as the material upbuilding of his community and the county at ^ large. A charter has been asked for and granted the organization and in a few days a canvass will be made throughout the county by competent solici] tors asking our farmers, merchants, and bankers to subscribe to the capital stock of the association T,l? ? o nnvr nnn nAl' I 1 UC ?U1C1UC IIVV o livn v?iv, *>v. is it a get-rich-quick proposition, although it means financial increases to our citizens who take advantage of the opportunity to become stockholders. It is a plan devised by men of brains and money and endorsed by 1 leading citizens of the South. Necessity is the mother of inven- . tion. So when the boll weevil began its incursions in the cotton belt and its predatory raids pointed to poverty and ruin, men set to work devising plans to defeat the ravages of this pest. It was found that diversified farming and stock raising were the first important essentials in this di- < rection. Cotton culture was greatly ' reduced, or the method of cultivation * \ radically changed, but even then without t full measure of success. < New crops were planted and abun- 1 dantly produced, Then the marKeuriK question naturally arose. This propo- 1 sition was met in the form of just such an organization as the Williams- j burg Marketing Association will provide for the valuable products of 1 your farm, to which you have not 1 heretofore been called upon, of nec- j essitv to cultivate to any great ex- , tent or for outside markets. In other ( words many of us have known nothing but cotton as a money crop. Now ' we are obliged to look to other crops ' for cash. We all know the value of sweet potatoes, peanuts, soy and velvet beans, com and oats, all of which may be produced abundantly in Wil- ( liamsburg and profitably, too. through < a well organized marketing associa- ' 1 tion. In the matter of sweet potatoes it is proposed by the association first to . erect curing houses at various points ] in the county, Kingstree, Trio, Gree- > lyville, Cades and Gourdin, where 1 farmer's may place their potatoes and have them cured and put into market- 1 able condition without loss. Then, if < we understand correctly, these pota- ] toes will be bought and paicl for, at Sf their market value, by the association. at its central office and depots in e<| Kingstree, or shipped and sold on a si( commission basis. 1 In vears past thousands of bushels ur mi of sweet potatoes have been raised , tjv by our farmers only to rot. because cji he had no way of properly curing wl them for shipment and knew little of their real market value outside of 'P G< his own community. ! ine wimamsDuix iuaiKeim^ <is.->u- m ciation will keep itself informed as to j sji the big markets of the world, and; Cc will find a market, or a purchaser for 1 ^ anything our farmers mav produce Sli or raise, whether it he fruit, vegetables, hay grain poultry or livestock. nl; You will be kept advised as to the so market conditions, advised as to when '('( to sell and when not to sell. You will, tu be relieved of the dilema which has ^ in the past confronted you when you ' tii had something to sell, and no place as to sell it. 'n Right now, we are informed, peainj nuts are worth $225.00 the ton. We ca known they must be bringing about $1100 a ton from the way they are a< sold here in Kingstree at the peanut roasters. We are told that with pi-op- ^ er cultivation, our lands will produce ^ two tons of nuts to the acre and of two tons of hay, the latter being an [ Th excellent ^-oughage for stock. Therefore we are strongly advised to raise ^ npannts anH the nmnosition is foster- k? ' - - r- r , ed by the leading agriculturists of ev the State and Federal government lai i TV Your marketing association will furn- ( 11 ish a means of threshing and con-: . ru verting the peas into cash. In this connection there are other , vii valuable farm crops that we can pro- a duce here in Williamsburg without c0 costly preparations covering several years of time, ami by their early pj, adoption Mr. Boll Weevil, who has. already made his appearance here, la will be defeated of a livelihood within our borders and his ultimate ex- , .' hi! tinction hastily terminated. . pc Let us then, turn our attention to , Qt tobacco, potatoes, peanuts, corn,j wc beans, peas, grain, poultry, sheep,1 i kii hogs, cattle, and onlv so much cotton , . , hi.< as we feel that we can afford to give j Qf over to the weevil. j be There is, we venture to say, no tei county in the cotton belt better pre- P'( St* pared to combat this pest at short notice than Williamsburg, provided we get down to business without de-J Co lay, and there is no better way than has so recently been made cleafr to us j by the South Carolina Land Owners j I cici association?through the organiza-; ! du tion of a marketing association to i pr handle the products we are to substi-j fe( tute, for a time at least, for Old King j th( cotton. 90< no OF INTEREST TO FARMERS. I m2 | as: Edited by T. M. Cathcart j ? n 1 A nog aaie ^ Next Saturday, December 13, at Lake City, Mr. J. J. M. Graham, of 3ades, will put up for sale to the lighest bidder a fine lot of Poland ~hina and Duroc hogs. These hogs are veil bred, and are in fine growing J/1 shape. They were purchased by Mr. jraham from a reliable breeder in Virginia about two weeks ago. All of these hogs were treated by me withn the past week against cholera. All < vere given the double treatment ex- j ?ept the suckling pigs, and they were j fiven the single treatment. I This is a fine lot of hogs, and every j 'armer that possibly can should at- j a r tend this sale and purchase at least oni 1 good registered pig or gilt. We will ^Ul iave to raise more livestock, and the ^r< sooner we make the strat the better on' )ff we will be.

Therefore, the commis- j >n, meeting at Columbia. December; decided to continue the campaign itil June 1. 1920, that every cornunity of the State might be given ! e opportunity to show its appro-' ition oi these South Carolinians, 10 made the supreme sacrifice. The commission at this meeting:e\vise adopted a resolution asking j >vcmo?- Cooper to recommend to the . rneral Assembly the receding of; e Act, so that the selection of the j ;e for the memorial in the city of j ilumbia be left to the discretion of; e commission. The commission desires to empha- j ce: 1. That the form of memorial is j mdatory as set out in the joint re- s lution and that the non-utilitarian! ?a is the expression of the Legisla-; re. 2. That under the present plan, wever, the building will be not enely of a non-utilitarian character,' it will contain a large auditorium which the veterans of this and tier wars can meet and other meet-1 j of an historical, patriotic or edu- j tional nature may be held. 3. That the memorial is in no sense 1 Columbia project; it is State-wide in I : application. Nor will it be for the; nefit of the University of South j irolina, for the commission desires I to be placed under the supervision ' the State Historical Commission. | le University of South Carolina has ! nerously agreed to donate a site on j rin Street in Columbia, in the rear, tne uapitai ounamg, wnere me ilding would be seen by practically ery visitor to Columbia, and this 3d is worth thousands of dollars, le structure will be a substantial >rk of ai t and will stand as a memo- f il for all time. 4. In the building there will be pro- \ (led an alcove for each county, where 1 bronze or other suitable tablets re-! rding and perpetuating the supreme j crifice jnadc by its white sons and ughters in the world war will be aced. 5. Thev structure will contain a rge auditorium, as outlined in the rcgoing, and a hall of records for e preservation of documents and storical data appertaining to the rsons artd organizations from South irolina who participated in the rid war. 6. Unless South# Carolina has some 3d of repository, the imperishable story of this State in the struggle Democracy against Autocracy will imperfectly preserved, and, in af years, the record will be incomite like that of the war between aces.
