Cattle Ticklers for South Carolinians. 1 The following is furnished The f: County Record by the Department of LI Agriculture, Washington, D. C.: s | One serious drawback to dairying - j has been discovered in South Carolina, 2 in the region that only recently was freed of the cattle tick. One promi nent farmer who has an excellent s | herd of Guernseys that has been win, j ning prizes for him on the show cir, j cuit says that out of five farms he ., owns the only one on which he was . obliged to pay an income tax last I uaoru'oc V*ia rloi'w -farmri Ui'c I farms are devoted largely to cotton, j 1; corn, and tobacco. He has not yet > | advertised a sale of his cows. " j C. W. Schmolke, a native of South 5 Africa who has been studying dairy* ing in this country, is now manager i ? of a creamery in Sumter county, S. C. 1 He says if this state had two-thirds ' as many tows as Wisconsin it could " do away with five-sixths of its fer- j ?i tilizer bill. It w" be some time be- j 3 fore the Palmetto state has that many, 1 cows, but individual farmers in sec-. 1 tions where ticks are no longer a; * factor are reducing the fertilizer bills on their own farms by introducing the dairy cow and returning the manure to the fields. Being between two fires is not ' much worse than being between the j 5 cattle tick and the boll weevil, the " position still occupied by many South5 arn farmers. Many a farmer in South Carolina who did not appre date the advantage of the eradiction * of the cattle tick, went in for cows [ when the cotton pest arrived in num' bers two years ago. Now they con' sider themselves'fortunate in having ' dipped the tick before their more persistent enemy arrived. They have j cut down the cotton acreage and are } now growing velvet beans, corn, and I cow-pea hay, about the only feeds ; that are needed in addition to pasture \ to keep a cow producing profitably. In the Pee Dee section of South \ Carolina the dairy cow is increasing ' in favor since the tick has been lick-, ed. Farmers who have been in nan-' t cial straits on account of the boll: k weevil's appetite or for other causes( , have been given credit to buy cows I [ by bankers who realize that a milk t producer is a pretty safe bet when . there are no ticks around. In the | town of Sumter, where there is a I . creamery capitalized at $30,000, the bankers have put up tha money for L many carloads of cows that have been brought in during recent months^ , They take the recommendation of; | creamery manager as to the number' . of cows a certain farmer may handle ! advantageously and give (him the . needed credit. The Sumter Creamery of Sumter, is attracting a great deal of atten. tion in that part of the country. The capital stock of $30,000 is owned by farmers and business men who are ;j interested in farms, no single person [ having more than $1,000 worth of j stock. In addition to the regular but;, ter business, the creamery retails ,; milk, cream, butter, and cottage . | cheese, and an ice-cream business has [ | been started. A lunch room has been established at thb creamery, which is in the main part of the town, and there is a rest room for the conven and comfort of farm women. A few " years ago, when the cattle still held -, this region, such an institution as I this modern creamery would have *: impossible. ; In a certain South Carolina com munity there is a small farmer who | recently became an enthusiast on ?I dairy cows. But before he tried cows 11he decided that bank stock was a! i better investment He put $1,000 of! 1 hard-saved cash into a bank that had { J Just been organized. The bank, ow-| ", ing to bad management, went to the; t wall and most of the money was gone.; . Then he bought two purebred Guern-1 sey cows. Each cow had a heifer calf. Before these calves had reached1 i Iff"" ; | Prompt payr ! I bills hel] ? rn 7 u3 ? rTj r LU : 1 BUILE 1 "3 Bj Lun r By ; n devo fjrj - B? Kingstree, :| fTffTTTTTItTTTfTrt rTTTfTHfl MM^T^TiT^TiTiTmTiT^TiT Cl School Books Adopted for 1922*1923 The State Board of Education in its } recent adoption of text books to be < used in the public schools for the next , five years allowed many options. Two ] books were offered in a number of ] cases, which will result in a lack of! ( uniformity throughout the state unless , the various county boards make a re- , adoption. Wherever the matter is j left to the different schools, it is certain that few schools will use exactly' i the same list of books, which will re-1 suit in much confusion to teachers, 1 patrons and children and, in many cases, children who change schools ] will be forced to buy a second list of 1 books during the year. This can be i avoided, however, if each county board 1 of education will settle on a definite 1 list of books to be used in that county, j ] which many county boards are doing, i The Williamsburg County Board of 1 Education recently caned a meeting j for the purpose of making a readop- j tion for the county. A committee of ] teachers of the county served with the j board of education in selecting a list i of books from the state list. Wher- j ever two books were offered, the basal 1 was adopted except in two cases as 3 follows: Language in the third, fourth ] and fifth grades; science in the ninth ] grade. This means that all schools j in the county will use the same text 1 books the coming school year. These new books have been placed in the county school book depository, Scott i Drug Company, Kingstree, S. C., and " all schools will be able to secure books promptly at the beginning of the 1 session. A complete list of the books to be used in Williamsburg county will * be published in the next issue of The County Record, and all teachers and patrons are requested to refer to this list at the beginning of the school. However, each and every text book * in use under the old adoption of 1917- * 1922 ought to be completed before a 1 new book on this subject is purchased. a The exchange period of these old text c books ends December 15, 1923. This * - ... . . 1 will allow eighteen months in wmcn to complete these old books. ^ The discarding of these books in a lump in any school would be most < injudicious and wasteful. Only after j the former texts have been utilized ani completed should new books be bought Under this plan the gradual introduction of new books may be ac- j complished at a minimum cost. If a pupil has a perfectly good book under the old adoption, let him finish it be- " fo*e he buv? a new one. * M. F. MONTGOMERY, County Fui erintendent of Education Kingstree, S. C., August 30, 1922. I a CHARLESTON MUSEUM To Exhibit Skeleton of First and On* ly Woman Hanged in State. ~ Because of the many people who visit ;.he Charleston Museum and who bring friends to the museum to see the skeleton of Mrs. Lavania Fisher, the only woman to have been hanged in South Carolina, and whose * skeleton was exhibited at the muse- I um some time ago and was removed hpramie it was out' of order, the museum has decided again to install the skeleton and it is now being put < in order. It is expected that there ^ will be wide interest in the fact that } Mrs. Fisher will come out of her hid- c ing place and will be given to the 2 date on which she will be placed j once more on exhibit. I J breeding age a well-known dairyman offered $500 for the pair, but the : owner decided they were probably ] just as much on his own farm. "Now I think I know a good investment when I see it," he said to the man who made him the offer for the calves.
