Pisgah News and Views; Comment on Crop Conditions ?-Advocacy of Shot Gun Law for Road Hogs ? _ Pisgah, Nov. 1.?A fine season of rain fell here Saturday night and Sunday. It was' much needed. The farmers have mowed their com fields and have saved a fine lot of hay. Enough and to spare to needy sections. Corn generally is not as good as last year and will not be so plentiful. Seasons not right to make a fine crop. Some have made fine corn where they did not have the big floods in July. So it is with potatoes. Not many oats j planted as yet. Most of people prefer not to risk the winter Cold on them. Road manners are getting pretty scarce these days. The shot gun is the best remedy for it. Some years ago Judge Bennett and an other man were coming from Man ning to Sumter, when aut?mobiles first came here. They were meet ing a man in a wagon with his family and the horse became ter ribly frightened at the approach ing car. He signed the car down but the man running it did not stop until that gun was thrown on him. Judge Bennett wrote a long piece about it and said while the act was unlawful, he commended the man for it in protection of his family from getting killed or "hurt. Not long since a man and his wife were going to a picnic in a buggy and an ill-mannered man dashed by them in his car and threw mud over the lady's dress, so she had to return home to i change it. When called to an ac- I count by her husband, he whined like a kicked cur in his apology, i Years ago in carrying the elec- ! tion returns to Sumter, when Har- ! rison was elected after Cleveland, the road was blocked by a drinking negro man. After asking him to turn aside without doing so a pis tol on h!im made him move in ? hurry. Col. Blanding commended the act on my part. I cite these instances to show when people won't do right and get the worst of it, they can blame no one but themselves. A box supper will be given on i Friday evening November 4th at the Pisgah public school house by the B. Y. P. ?. of Pisgah church for the benefit of the church. The public is cordially invited to at tend. k Profitable Pasturage ! Darlington County Farmer Uses Soys and Velvets to Big Advantage ClemsOn College, Octi 31.?As a concrete typical illustration of a man who is improving his soil from year to year and increasing his crop yields, M. P. Harris, of Bishopville, S. C, is an outstanding figure in his community. Mr. Harris bought a farm near Bishopville in 1909. Up to that time the farm had not been grow ing legumes for soil improvement. The owner had been depending mainly on commercial fertilizers for crop production and had not j considered the value of other soil | treatments that wHl make the use of commercial fertilizers more pro fitable. In 1911 Mr. Harris produced 32 bales of cotton on 55 acres with 1.300 pounds of fertilizer per acre. The corn yields were about 17 bushels per acre. In the spring of 1914, Mr. Harris dreamed a dream and had a vision of the possibilities of the use of legumes in his farm plans, and he planted one:half of his cultivated acres in com and vel vet beans. The other half he plant ed in cotton. This was the begin ning of a better day for him and his farm. Mr. Harris plants his corn in wide rows, somewhat thick in the row, and about one month later plants Early Speckled velvet beans between the corn rows, using at least one-half bushel of velvet bean seed per acre. This is a good meth od for South Carolina farmers gen erally, as it permits the corn to get a good start and to be worked out weii with the cultivator before the beans begin to wrap it up. Mr. Harris has continued this two-year rotation since 1914 and the effect on his crop yields is most satisfactory. In 1919, which was ' not as good a crop year as 1911, he j produced 37 bales of cotton on 25 : acres with 600 pounds ?f fertilizer j ?less than one-half his formerJ acieage, but more cotton. His corn ( yields have also been consistently increased from 17 to 50 bushels per j acre. In 1920 Mr. Harris averaged two j bales per acre, and in 1921 his cot- j ton has turned out one bale per acre \ in spite of the fact that he had boll weevils as thick as anybody in Lee ! county. His fertilizer this year was j only 200 pounds of acid phosphate J and 50 pounds of soda per acre. COTTON MARKET ' i NEW YORK COTTON.

This, of j course, should be the duty of every j day for there is no academic func i tion of the school more import | ant than the teaching of the prop I er use of one's mother tongue. It I has been found, however, that a week devoted to special effort in this direction results in lasting benefit. At the regular meeting of the teachers a committee was ap pointed to formulate certain sug gestions. The following excellen* suggestions ha\e been submitted by the committee and have been brought to the attention of all the teachers of the school system: Have each class in the High School take charge of the program in chapel once during the week, and at that time give some sug gestions for correctness and pre : cision in the use of the mother tongue. At the beginning of each English lesson ask pupils to watch their own speech and to report at the j next recitation period some mis- i takes that they have found and Wish to correct. For the first day's program have the class give a concise history of the origin of the English language. { Each teacher may write the cor j rect form of mistakes most fre quently made. Games for the primary grades may be carried out very successful ly using the English work as a ba j sis. Special emphasis should be giv ' en to grammatical principles that j ! contribute to correct expression. I It will be a source of great bene j fit to every one if the homes will I actively co-operate. The week that j has been set apart to be Better Speech "Week in America begins on j the sixth of November. It will be j noticed that Armistice Day comes during that week. This seems to be j j very fortunate, for that day serves j to direct our attention to the very j many blessings for which we have j reason to be grateful, and on''- of j these is the heritage of a wonderful : language. It is hoped that the im ! portance of good, clean, forceful, ! and expressive language will be so i impressed upon the people of our ! community that the effects may last i for many days. -??? ;?

How One Creamery Grew. One of the most convincing ex amples of what cooperative effort will do for a community Is found in the progress of the Farmers' Co operative Creamery at the Missis sippi A. & M. college. This cream ery, as most successful institutions, had a small beginning, plenty of op position and an over-abundance of obstacles. In its years of effective operation, however, this opposition has melted away and the obstacles in the main have been smoothed out. so much so that the story is one of the most beautiful and con vincing in all the history of south ern dairying. The story of this creamery is briefly told in the fol lowing letter from Mr. J. S. Moore, professor* of Dairy Husbandry at che college where the creamery is located: In 1912, the writer asked permis sion of the Board of ""Trustees of the Mississippi A. & M. College to organize a cooperative creamery at i the college and that said creamery be allowed to use a part of the dairy building for its work. In making this request, we stated that, if a success, the creamery would do much toward securing a diversifi cation of crops and increasing the number of live stock on the farms; that it would enable the farmer to turn from cotton farming, which had already become a very uncer tain crop in many sections of the state due to the presence of boll weevils, to a more rational and ! profitable system. Authority for the establishment of the creamery was given, and Lhe organization was completed and with 19 patrons the creamery be-i ;an work in September, 1912. The college dairy department had ; a small amount of equipment on hand. It agreed to turn this over to the creamery which was to pay for it in monthly installments. No patron or stockholder was required to pay any cash, but a fund was started by setting aside a part of the receipts each month. This fund was used in making payments on the equipment on hand, keeping up repairs, adding new equipment as needed and as the funds grew for operating capital. While no cash has ever been paid, except as above, the Cooperative Creamery now has property and operating capital amounting to about SIS.000. In addition to this the patrons, as a rule, have received the top of the market for their butter. Believing that the success or fail ure of this creamery would have, a marked influence on the develop ment of dairying, not only in this section but throughout the state, the head of the dairy department acted as manager of the creamery for three years. In return for the j facilities provided and help offered by the college the creamery is to be available foi my instruction of fered by the college to students and others. At the end of three years, the i work had grown to such an extent ; and the success of such a creamery had been so thoroughly establish ed, ttie management was turned over to a manager selected by the ! board of directors. The following table will show the growth of the creamery since its organization.

Each year showing an increase over the preceding and this, notwith standing the fact that during the first few years of its existence, it was the only creamery in this sec tion and received cream within a radius of about ninety miles. Large ly as a result of the success of this creamery, other creameries were started and we always advised the farmers to ship to their nearest creamery if satisfactory arrange ments could be made. While in 1914 a large part of our cream was received a distance of eighty miles or more, in 1920 nearly all was produced within a radius* of twelve miles from the creamery. From the very beginning we have - stressed the importance of good clean sweet cream, and as it is now all produced near the college where prompt delivery can be made, we are assured a quality of product from which' the very best butter can be made. The growth of the creamery is insignificant except as it is an in dex to the growth of the dairy bus iness on the farms and the im provement that has been brought about by this growth. Although the creamery has been in operation only eleven years, if any one thoroughly familiar with the farm conditions eleven years ago. who has not kept up with the changes that have taken place, could see the conditions as they are today, he would no doubt wonder at the improvement. He. would see a more fertile and productive soil, good herds of dairy cattle paid for, fair barns, numerous silos, better homes, many home con veniences, autos, good roads, busi ness run to a large extent On a cash basis, and. as a result of These conditions, better cit4goa?j -V As there are now twenty-fri other creameries within the-state! all of which are having a beneficial^ effect on farm conditions, and most of them organized as a result of the success of this creamery, we feel that the influence for good of this creamery is not confined to this section of the state alone but that it extends to practically all parts of Mississippi. J. S. 'MOORE, Professor of Dairy Husbandry. There are a few things in the foregoing letter that we would call particular attention to. Note first that just twenty-one pati*pns had nerve enough to jom in the begin ning. In eight years that original number had been doubled many times unjtil in 1920 there were 1.99. The net receipts to the patrons grew from $5,193.30 in 1912, to $170,524.76 in 1920; or from $242. 20 per man the first year to $856.96 per man in 1920. This latter fig ure included the returns to many persons with from three to six cows, one a widow with a house full of little girls. In the beginning it should be noted that cream was shipped in from points eighty or more miles - away from the creamery.. At the present the majortiy of it is -pr duccd within a radius of twelv miles. Note what Mr.* Mq<?*e has*to say about conditions . on the farms in his territory now as compared to those when the creamery was young. In the meantime more has been done than he mentions in his letter. Rock roads have been ex tended to almost every point in the county, and good home after good home has been built along these highways, making for better community life and a more prosper ous and dependable agriculture. There are many other compli mentary things that might be said about the creamery and the coun try round about it. but we believe what has already been said is suf ficient to indicate what a creamery under proper management may mean. It will be noted that Mr. Moore calls attention to the fact that the state has twenty-five creameries in operation at the pres ent time and that they are all in a prosperous condition. The cream ery industry is the one that stands out most prominently in that state ::s a result of the changed condi tion brought int,o its agriculture by the boll weevil, and is the one in dustry that has not only held its own but made continuous progress. Maybe this fact is a partial an'swer to questions in other sections where the boll weevil is now a very troublesome factor. Of course, there is a limit to the dairy industry, but we are rt long way from that limit yet. Millions of pounds of butter and other dairy products are an nually shipped into the south. TJn id wo have shut off tt\ar importa tion, there is opportunity for profit table creamery business where it is put together right, and handled right. ? ? ?-.
