SILAS WALKER SHOWS HOW A letter frorp F. M. Rast, County Agent, of Clarendon County was published in the State Monday morning, September 14, praising the procedure of Silas Walker, Negro farmer of Clarendon County. Mr. Rast thinks that Mr. Walker's way of Arming sets a splendid example for other farmers f to follow in these times and we think so too. Mr. Rast goes into "the TTetaiTs of Mr. WalkeFs methods and recommends them as being basically sound. He concludes that even though Mr. Walker M through thi> county agent's office. * ?* ?: I | For the benefit of those who may.be interested * shall uuote .garlaia. portions' of t lie Kast aittclo: , i "This Spring Silas entered a litter of 12 pigs in "the 1 ton litter state contest.
