The New York Journal of Com?
merce aaya the larger bunks there
wbbh have extensive connections In
the South hnve already mude consid?
erable progress in the way of complet?
ing arrangements with their corre?
sponding banks In the cotton growing
sections of the country with regard to
financial aaaistance that may be ex?
pected from New York. "The Import?
ant banks here," aaya The Journal of
Commerce, "believe that with the con?
tinuation of the European war and
further restrictions against the ex?
ports of cotton to Germany and Aus-|!
trla, and a reduced demand for cot?
ton on the part of England and her
Allies, the farmers In the South will
b? obliged to carry over a very large
atock of cotton until next year or such
time aa when the war wilt end and re- 19
open the foreign trade In American
cotton on a large scale. It Is felt by
local bankers that the South will re?
quire considerable financial assistance
when the crop movement begins, and
they are of the opinion that the funds
needed will have to be furnished by
the large banks In the East and West,
and that It will not be practical or
wise to depend entirely upon the Fed?
eral Heserve Banks for all the tinan
cll aid that the situation will re?
quire." In other words, New York
bankers are seeking a desirable In?
vestment for the tremendous surplus
of money they ure carrying, and this,
taking In connection with the aid that
will be forthcoming by the reserve
bunks. U pretty good Indication toat
the South s cotton crop will have the
advantage of better financial facilities
the coming fall than It has had in
many years, perhaps the best in its
history.?Charlottte t Miaerver.
tied Hid of tin- Worin? In Your Hogs.
Dr. W. M. Brunson. Veterinarian at
the Oeorglu State College of Agricul?
ture, recently had . i i t unity to ?*>
aerve carcasses of Southern hogs as
they paeead through a slaughter house
und found that a very large per cent,
ware Infected with worms. How
a loaa la to be attributed to these
is dltth tilt to sitae, but that it
in enormous there is no doubt. It Is
lifved that one of the ehief causes
for the value of hogs In the South
l*lng no much less per capita than in
other states la attributable to a con
slderuble extent to the prevalence of
paraalte*, eapeclally worms. ~vhlch
the Southern farmer has not yet learn?
ed to combat effectively.
1'pon this subject Dr. Brunson says
that his Investigations of many un?
healthy herds of swine have revealed
ib.- pr.s.-i.r Intestinal worms. The
unhealthy condition pi,.disposes the
hogs to any kind of disease.
An effective remedy for the Intesti?
nal VSggaj tH "tnuonded by Dr. Bur
aon la made an follows:
Santonin. 2 1-2 gruins,
Areca nut. 1 drum.
Calomel. 5 grains,
Sodium carbonate, 1 drum.
These mixed together constitute a
dose for a I St penal hog. The ani?
mal should be routined without feed
or water for 1H hours before treat?
ment. The remedy can be given mix?
ed with soft slop. Follow in 12 hours

Columbia, Tuly 12.?The prospects
for the South In the coming crop
year are recognized with optimism,
provided the United States can clear
up with satisfaction certain differences
of opinion between this country and
England over the embargo placed up?
on cotton being shipped through the
neutral ports of Holland and the
Scandinavian countries?and. provid?
ed further, the proper support is giv?
en by the regional reserve bank sys?
tem In financing the new crop.
This is the consensus of opinion,
arrived at Saturday during an infor?
mal conference among some of the
leaders In the cotton movement.
Congressman A. F. Lever, who was
requested to act as chairman, was
designated with Commissioner H. J.
Watson and T. B. Stackhouse, of Co?
lumbia, to prepare a letter to be pre?
sented to the president of the United
States, expressing strongly the atti?
tude of the people of the State.
Mr. Lever as chairman of the com?
mittee eetourrlculture of the house of
representmtrv**, was requested to get
the cooperation of the leaders in each
Southern State, in order to make a
solid phalanx in presenting this
question, and to ask an audience with
the president.
It is understood that this matter is
to be made immediate and imperative,
and the sense of the meeting was that
public agitation and newspaper dis?
mission might be suspended pending
the outcome of a hearing in Washing?
ton.
Among those in the conference,
which wu8 entirely Informal, were:
Congressman Lever, chairman of the
committee on agriculture; Col. E. J.
Watson, president of the Southern
Cotton Congress; Dr. Wade Stack
house, of Dillon, president of the State
Cotton Congress, Col. J. Arthur Banks,
Senator from Calhoun and a cotton
planter; Col. R. M. Cooper.^a large
cotton planter; Ex-senator John L.
McLaurtn, state cotton warehouse
commissioner, who mude a report on
conditions in Georgia also; T. B.
Stackhouse, manager of a number of
cotton warehouses in the State, and
Walter B. Sullivan, publisher of the
Columbia Record, who led in the
"Buy-a-Bale" movement last year.
Mr. T. B. Stackhouse stated that
he had heard one of the strongest cot?
ton merchants of the Piedmont say
that he expected to see cotton open at
'J cents on the new crop and maintain
the price.

WHAT FARMS COULD BE.
County Demonstrator Gives Some
Good Advice to> Furniers on What
to Muke of Their Homes?Fruit
Trees at Cost*.
To have a .perfect orchard, it is
necessary to be looking after it all
of the time. It* you have not already
done so, the dirt should be pulled
up around the trees to the height of
six or eight inches. About the first
of October pull this dirt away again
and you will get rid of a great many
borers. Keep the weeds and grass
from around the roots of the trees,
especially the small ones in order that
they may get their proper growth. I
repeat again, do not allow the trees
to be injured with the harnen, traces
and singletrees in plowing. I believe
that as much damage has been done
to small trees in plowing in Sumter
county as the San Jose scale has
done.
If you do not have an orchard with
peaches and grapes ripening through
June. July and August and live on a
farm in Itimtar county, you are
missing a goodly portion of the pleas?
ure of living on a farm. If I couldn't
have the luxuries that a farm affords
I certainly wouldn't live in the coun?
try, if I could get a job in town. No
wonder children in the country rear?
ed among farm imprelements scatter?
ed all about over the yard, unpainted
tumbled down farm buildings, scrub
cows and calves, pine rooting pigs
and hogs that have to be kept until
they are two years old before they
are large enough to kill, and mon?
grel chickens, get disgusted with life
on the farm and wander away in
search of something beautiful.
On the other hand, picture a boy
reared among a flock of Rhode Island
Red or Plymouth Rock chickens,
feeding thoroughbred pigs that will
net over a hundred pounds at six
months, milking sleek cows that will
give sixteen quarts of rich milk, good
for making the best of ice cream,
playing with colts in which all of the
family take a pride, gathering the
sun-kissed peaches so full of juice
that when you break the skin you
have to bend over to keep the juice
from running down your chin, pluck?
ing large bunches of grapes that look
like velvet marbles, cuttting forty
pound melons and eating out the
heart, and drinking the juice until
all of the red disappears. Nine boys
out of every ten, reared under such
conditions, will never leave tho farm
and the tenth boy will never be satis?
fied living in town.
If you live in the country on the
farm in Sumter county, you can raise
your children under either of the
above conditions.
Arrangements have been made by
Clem8on College so that I can for?
ward orders for fruit trees at the
following prices: Apple trees 12 and
1-2 cents, peach trees 3 cents, bunch
grapes 5 and 1-2 cents, budded pe?
cans, 2 feet high (any variety) 60"
cents each, ever-bearing mulberries,
20 cents each and other trees at
corresponding prices. Prof. C. F.
Niven will inspect the stock and eee
that nothing but good healthy stock
is shipped. He will also send out in?
structions for planting, pruning and
cultivating same.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE NOTES.
Tobacco Market Boosting Trip to Be
Mude on Wednesday, July 21st.
On next Wednesday, July 21st the
business men of Sumter will pull off
their second annual tohaoco market
and trade boosting trip. These an?
nual booster excursions, while of
course somewhat actuated by busi?
ness motives, are not altogether mer?
cenary by any means, the purely so?
cial features appealing greatly to the
Sumter business men who participate.
The very cordial welcome extended
the citizens of Sumter last July on
the first of these business trips, and
the hospitable entertainment by their
good friends, ladles and gentlemen,
of the country districts Is in reality,
more than aynthing else respsonbile
for the repetition of the visit this
summer.
It is possible however to combine
business with pleasure, and with mu?
tual advantage to both sides. The
farmers have tobacco to sell, and the
Sumter business men want that to?
bacco. The Sumter merchants have
merchandise to sell, and the farm?
ers and their fandlies want the mer?
chandise.
Hence a reciprocal commercial In?
tercourse.
That It does a great deal of good
for the business men of any city to
visit their country friends and cus?
tomers goes without saying. The city
and the country are interdependent,
one upon the other, the city of Sum?
ter being just as much a part of
Sumter county as the most remote
rural section of this county.
Interest in the social environments
or tlu? rural districts, in the develop?
ment of the rural school system, In
the science of a higher and more
Ideal home life and lit pursuits of
the latin, the Industrial no less than
the intellectual, all these tend to?
wards a better citizenship In many
respects. The country man is as
much interested in the kind of citi?
zenship he and his family must
mingle with the city as the city man
is. And likewise why should not the
city and the country get closer and
closer together, and find out what
is needed for a more prosperous, in?
telligent, healthful, and moral condi?
tion of existence.
We all are but human, none of us
are perfect, we all have our faults,
and as little as we think it, notwith?
standing our professions of "super?
iority" over some or all of our ac?
quaintances, every man is, in a way,
peculiarly his own, more or less ob?
noxious to his fellow beings, in one
way or other.
Perhaps if we just unbent a little
towards each other, and had what are
more popularly termed "heart to
heart talks" we would understand
each other better and in the general
estimate or survey of our social en?
vironment we would doubtless find
many things to correct.
The business men of Sumter and
the farmers of Sumter county should
get together oftener than they do.
The women of the city and the coun?
try ought to mingle more than they
do. It pays to be close to each oth?
er. We derive commercial as well
as social benefits therefrom.
Every business man of Sumter
should be on the tobacco market and
trade boosting trip next Wednesday.
They will never regret and, better
still, will never forget the genuine
open hearted hospitality of the ever
hospitable farmers and their wives of
Sumter and Clarendon counties.
Those who went and acepted the
hospitality of the rural districts last
July are still talking gratefully of the
pleasures of that trip. And well they
may. Hut more pleasure and more
business as well are there for the
asking. So get in line and show our
friends of Sumter and Clarendon
counties that we are coming again
because we know and were shown
that we are wanted. Just one day off
from business, after new business and
more pleasure is what next Wednes?
day's trip means to those who go.
Suggestions for Business Men's Boost?
er Trip, July 21st, 1915.
No. 1. Get your advertising mat?
ter printed up without delay. Put on
each advertising poster the words:
"Sell your tobacco, and do your trad?
ing and banking at Sumter."
No. 2. Place a few flu^s and
some bunting on your automobile.
Sumter pennants will be in order. A
number of pretty "Shriner" pen?
nants can be secured and they look
well.
No. 3. Have your automobiles at
Chamber of Commerce entrance,
forming line on East Liberty street, ,
at 7.30 o'clock A. M.
No. 4. Tell your country friends
about the booster trip and the hour
we will be at their places. Ask
them to help advertise the meetings.
No. 5. Talk up the booster trip
and see how many automobiles you
can get to go along to help carry a
big crowd of business men. Try to
make this a big and su ;essful get
together, trade drawing, trade terri?
tory extension affair.
No. 6. Remember that the way
to make times better and to get
more business is to hustle for it, and
to advertise what you have to sell.
You need more business. Go after
it.
No. 7. Bring the city and the
country closer together. We need
each other now more than we over
have needed one another.
