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.

j Better Speech Week
I The Public Schools of the City
j Will Observe National Bet
ter Speech Week
! _
Thpre is such strong recognition
of our obligation to our mother
tongue as to make it seem advis
able to have one week of the school
year in which particular attention
j is directed to the proper use of
j the English language. 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.

The growth of the creamery has
l>een steady from the beginning.
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.
