; Tne crop contract is essential foi
'?jBj& rjj&soa that it gives the association
title fo the commodity for purposes of
marking. Without such contract the
hfaoe&tioa could not market the com-;
modity because it would have no con

a basis' upon which the association
ean Saore readily borrow money foi
max nig advances to growers as first
payments. j
i ** Grading and Pooling.
WHen a member of an association
delivers his crop it is Immediately
gradedi and he is given a receipt for
the amowrtt of each grade delivered.
Bis ^jodact is then mixed in with
that of ether members and lots of each
?ra&? are made up. These lots are
calls** $oo!s. His interest in each
"is represented by the proportion
which the product delivered by him to
fhe-.^Go! hears to the total amount in

ceives the same price for the same

USE PUREBRED BOARS j
Inferior Sires a Great Handicap.
i _
Clemson College. May 2?With the
Increased interest in swine in the j
st? te, there will he a large demand j
for breeding animals. On account of I
this demand, a number of persons will j
be tempted to use inferior boars and j
sows. While it cannot be hoped to
have all of the sows purebred at this j
time, yet there is no excuse for the i
use of grade or scrub hoars. There j
are sufficient purebred boars, if prop- j
erly distributed and properly man?- j
aged, to make every market hog in i
the state at least fifty percent pure- {
bred. j
Why the Purebred Sire?
There are six goods reasons for us^ j
ing a purebred boar.
1. Larger and stronger pigs are |
produced.
2. The pigs grow faster and make
cheaper gains.
3. The pigs reach market weight J
sooner. I
4. The pigs are more uniform.
5. The pigs meet the market de- j
mand. thereby bringing a higher;
price.
6. Pork . production is made more j
profitable.
On account of the increased value!
of the litters produced, any farmer ]
with eight or ten sows could well af- j
ford to keep a purebred boar. At j
least, several farmers in a neighbor- j
hood can co-onerate in the purchase!
and use of a purebred boar. Through j
judicious managemspt, a purebred j
boar for every twenty-five or thirty?
sows is' sufficient
At this time when every advantage j
must be taken to realize a profit from j
farming operations, let no one handi
cap himself by using inferior stock.
Let your animals march with thej
purebredA,"

Prepare to Care for Animals and
Manure.
?_ j
Clemson College, May.?Are yoti |
ready? It is said that opportunity j
knocks at the door of every man some
time during bis life, and the question
which, you must ask yourself is, "Am
I "ready?" Are you ready to go into
the livestock game? Is your land well
fenced? Have you the right sort of
pastures? Do you raise your own
fe?d or must you buy it? It pays to j
grind your ax before you start. If
you plan to go into the livestock busi
ness be sure you are ready and then
fco in to stay.
Animals make loads of manure. Are
you prepared to save it? The horse j
will produce 9 tons, the dairy cow 13
tons, the steer 6 tons, the hog 2 tons.:
and the sheep 2-5 of a ton per y%ar.
Will you save this manure?
The best international harvesters
in the world for corn and velvet beans
are cattle and hogs. The best inter
national manure spreaders are hogs
and cattle. The grandest fertilizer in
all the world is manure.
On the average a ton of barnyard
manure will contain 10 pounds of nit
rogen. 5 pounds of acid, and 10 pounds
Of potash. It also contains a large)
amount of organic matter which our
South Carolina soils need and must
have.
Experimental Results With Manure.
Did you ever stop to think that
more than half the fertilizing value
of manure is in the liquid manure?
The Ohio Experiment Station found
out that enough manure was lost by
seepage in twelve months' time, even
where liberal amounts of bedding
were used, to pay for concreting the
floor.
Ohio and Cornell Stations have
proved that manure exposed in the
barnyard will lose approximately 50
percent of its value. If it is allowed
to heat, the loss runs from 10 to IE
percent greater.
It is a common practice to haul
manure to the field and place it in
piles. This is not a good plan. It
should be immediately spread over j
the soil, and the thinner it is spread j
the better. A ton of manure thinly
spread will be worth more than one
thickly spread. Thirty-five years'
work at the Pennsylvania Experiment
Station goes to prove that manure put
on at the rate of 12 tons per acre re-1
turned $3.29 per ton. while manure j
put on at the rate of 20 tons per acre i
yielded only $2.29 per ton.
Pastures for Pigs.
. Clemson College. May.?We cannot j
make the hog business go in this state i
unless we make good use of our graz- j
ing season. A pig in a pen is iazy i
and expensive, while the pig on pas-1
ture is happy, thrifty, and profitable.!
Every experiment station, every ex- \
tension department, and every pros
perous hog raiser in this country be
lieves in good pastures for hogs.
What can we grow in South Caro
lina that hogs witt pasture? Rape.. I
rye. soybeans, oownoas. Bermuda, les- j
pedeza. velvet beans and many other j
pastures do well in this state. Sup j
pose we try some of these pasture
and cut our grain ration in two.
Will hogs do well on pasture alone'!
T\To. it is best to feed a little grarih
while the hogs ore on the pasture
Two or three ears of corn to oacl
shote per day will work wonders. TIh i
pasture will maintain the animal anc j
the grain will make gains in weight.
An acre of good pasture will re
turn 'from 300 to 600 pounds of pork
Forty dollars per acre is not bae
whan the pigs do the work.
A Square Deal
DO NOT PLANT <IOBN IN A SIN<
NO CHANiCE FOB POLUNATiC
?planteo in squares the 5
amount of seed produces m
two feet apart jn rows 1
apart. 3 or 4 seeds to a !
Five rows of coro'ten feet long wi'l
produce more sweet corn than the
same number of stalks in a. .single row
fifty feet long.
Every strand of corn silk represents
a potential kernel ol' corn on The cob
from which it issues. It becomes :i
kernehof corn provided the dusi from
the tassel or pollen falls upon it. The
pollen dust must be deposited on tlf.'
silk or there is no kernel of corn. The
corn depends upon the wind to drif:
the pollen dust upon the silk. Oth-r
plants depend upon bees, hut the be? s
do not find corn so much to their lik
ing. The tassels give off clouds of
dust. All it needs is direction.
In a sonar- of corn, whichever
way the wind comes, it drives the
dust through the planting. Most Of
it is. bound to fall upon tin- silks. In
a long single row or a double row.
the pollen is blown away in great
quantities and strikes no silk that i;
can fertilize. This explains the basis
tor square planting of corn rather
than in long rows.
Two feet apart in the row and
rows three feet apart is about the
right distance for corn. Throe to

Bolshevik Disc ipline.
J Teriojki. April 29.- The 8.000 rof
! ugees from the recent Kronstadt revo
lution in Russia who are quartered in
j Finnish concentration camps here
land at Ino have just given a strik
i ing example of Bolshevik discipline,
j Tin- refugees are being fed by
i American Led Gross officers. The
j other day. one of them was caught by
j his fellows in tin- act of stealing a
I larger share of food titan was due to
! him.
The others formed a committee,
'tried man. found him guilty of steal
ng food, and then appeared before
i lied Cross officer.
"Phase give us enough guns to
u rn a firing squad." they requested.
"We have found a man stealing food
and will execute him immediately."
Informed that this was Finland, and
not Bolshevik Russia, the committee
was momentarily disappointed.
"Bui he must be punished." they in
sisted.
"All light." said the officer," hut
no shooting goes here."
The committee then made the thief
I strip, although the weather was bit
terly cold, formed a long line in the
woods, including about 150 men. and
made th.e guilty man run naked 10o
times from one end of the line to the

Discipline in these refugee camps
has been excellently maintained,
thro\igh the orders of Stephen Petri
chenko, the 29-year-old sailor who
was president of Kronstadt and the
1 leader of the revolt. Vet the Finnish
! authorities arc much worried over
