Then again it should be remem? bered that Bumter's wholesale and retail grocers pay city, county an 1 I state taxes to help keep our Bumter city ami Bumter county schools open, to support our fire department and police force and board of health for protection of life ami properly, to pay for decent streets and rural I highways, and to otherwise suppor t the county and the city governments, and these lur.il gt oeery establish? ments contribute to the support of our churches, v.

It is said that the local food ad? ministrators are hunting up the Bumter people who send out of Slim? ier for their groceries wholesale for the purpose of telling them how un? patriotic they are, I There are said to be some parties in Bumter who object to what they term 'being forced to patronise home bakeries," when as u matter of fact some of these same parties didn't hes? itate to buy Spartauburg bread .ship? ped into Bumter, manufactured by a Spartan burg German baker who was arrested and indicted for receiving stolen food ami stealing from Uncle Sam's soldier larder at Camp Wadsworth In Bpartanburg, and en IIcing young; soldier? to do the steal ing for htm, Mr. G. a.

Clemson College May 9.?Milk, both for city and farm homos, for children and for grown-ups, becomes a much more Importal t article of food, under war condition! than it Is normally, it mokes little difference what elae we may he asked to fore go In order to help feed the soldiers, if the supply of milk, butter and cot? tage cheeae can be kept up we shall not suffer for an unbalanced diet. This problem of keeping up and In? creasing the home supply of milk is Worthy Of some of the best thought of all patriotic farmers and dairy? men. Cheap feed becomes the most I Important fac tor in .solving this prob? lem. The following crops arc advised by i ihe Cleinson College Extension Divis Ion in co-operation with the United States Department of Agriculture as a means of producing these cheap foods. First?Plant plenty of velvet beans .and plant them now. An early ma luring variety should be used ami should be planted in corn fields. It planting is postponed until flato a satisfactory yield will not be obtain? ed. Second -Plant Sorghum for sum? mer and winter feeding, Borghum may be Bhocked in the Held like corn, and fed from the shock throughout the winter with excellent results. Tnird ? With as many as ten cow to feed build a silo and fill it with corn and sorghum. By making use of these suggestion? the dairymen assures himself of a reasonable profit in milk production and the general farmer places him? self in position to keep his own table Supplied with indispensable articles of food. Those farmers expecting to build silos this summer are advised by the Clemson College Extension Division to make Immediate arrangements about getting the materials. Some mater? ials are going to be hard to obtain on account of shipping conditions This is particularly true of those ma? terials that have to be shipped from some distance. Farmers expecting to build con? crete and hollow tile silos, and wh? ale unable to get materials may still build wooden hoop silos. There should, therefore, he no slocking in the putting in of silage crops. W'ooden hoop silos have been tried out for many years in eastern Ten? nessee and for several years in South Carolina. <>n account of the cheap nesn cd' construction it is a common saying that a WOden hoop silo save.; enough on the feed bill every time || is tilled to pay the cost of con? struction. Since this type of silo is good for six to ten years of sec vice, it is easily sei a that it is a vei; economical silo to build. Silos are advised where any num? ber of cows above eight are to be fed, Building instructions and bills of ma? terials for any of the home-made types of silos may be obtained free by writing the Extension Division, Clem? son College.
