BETTER POULTRY COMING
TO THE FRONT ON CHESTERFIELD
COUNTY FARMS
Though The Advertiser last week
carried a report of the poultry meeting
at Jefferson, the following story
inspired by the same meeting, written
by B. E. Adams, president of the
South Carolina Poultry Breeders' Association,
is worthy of the *pace it
requires:
Better poultry is fast becoming
a factor in the agricultural development
of Chesterfield County. The
industry is beiner organized nlom?
business lines. The advent of the
boll weevil with the resultant necessity
of turning to something beside
cotton has made the oe^ple give
poultry serious consideration as a
money crop. Not so much in th-s way
of an exclusive business btCt rather as
an important part in the scheme of a
well-balanced farm. The number of
farmers and back-lotters in Chesterfield
County who are taking an interest
in good poultry is constantly on
the increase and from present indica
tions poultry will play a more important
part in the future than ever before.
One factor that is doing much to
create more interest and help poultry
production in Chesterfield county
is. the Chesterfield County Poultry
Association. This association holds
monthly meetings in different sections
of the county with the result
that the people are brought together
in the common interest of the industry.
Those meetings create a better
understanding among the breeders.
The members bring up various prob
lems which confront thorn. These
problems arc considered and discussed
with the result that everyone present
usually gets much good from the
meeting. The meeting is usually attended
by seme poultry worker or
other person interested in the development
of the industry.
Meeting at Jeffer?on
The meeting is always held the
first Monday night in the month.
The writer attended the May meeting
and was gratified at the interest
shown and the spirit displayed. The
meeting was held in the American Le?
gion Hall at JelTerson. People from all
sections o? tiie county attended. Seme
came from twenty-five to thirty miles.
After looking over some good poul- '
try at Chesterfield, the county seat,
the writer and several others set forth
in automobiles for the meeting place
twenty miles away. We arrived about
0:30 o'clock and found that many
others had already reached the scene
of activities.
Shortly after our arrival supper
was announced. Being in rather a ,
receptive mood the crowd quickly
assembled in the large hall, where
a table was in readiness with a
number of attractive girls standing
by to see that everyone was well
taken care of. The supper was
all that could be desired and added
to the warmth ol the occasion.
Those who had prepared the supper
had not forgotten that poultry lov- '
ers were to be their guests and j
accordingly the menu consisted of
rOAQf phinlrnn
v?*?vnvii) viiivix^ii uicnoiiid;, UCV j
with gravy, bread, butter, cake and ,
coffee.
When the supper dishes had been (
cleared a^ay the crowd turned its ^
attention to the business in hand. ,
The hall was crowded, every seat
being taken and many persons hav- .
ing to stand. Mr. D. W. Knight, the ,
president of the association, called |
the meeting to order and after finishing
with the routine business he introduced
Senator Laney, of Chesterfield,
who snoko in a hannv vpiri nn nnnlfrv
i-r^ r"1-"" J ]
and its value to mankind. The
Senator kept the crowd in a happy
frame of mind with many jokes at
the expense of chickens. He was followed
by Mr. W. J. Tiller, county ag- ,
ricultural agent, who stated that more
grain was being raised in Chesterfield
County this year than ever before and (
that one of the best ways to market
this grain was through poultry. Mr.
Tiller said that more attention
must be paid to the marketing end
of the busniness. Mr. N. R. Merhof,
poultry extension worker with headquarters
at Clemson College, spoke
on springtime poultry hints. He
stressed the importance of producing
infertile eggs for market during
tho summet n onfhs.
C < operative Marketing
Mr. B. K. Adams, of Charleston,
president of the South Carolina
Poultry Breeders' Association, spoke (
on the production, exhibition and
marketing of poultry. He complimented
the members and visitors for the
progress made in poultry work in
Chesterfield County and expressed
the hope that many other counties in
the state would follow their lead. He
declared that cooperative marketing
was the biggest problem confronting
the .poultry producers of South Carolina.
He told of the cooperative work
in the poultry centers of the West
and urged the members to give
thoughtful consideration to the matter.

DAY OF TRAGEDY
IN GREAT CITY
New York, May 8.?-Romance and
tragedy walking hand in hand through

CURIOUS ACCOUNTS
INVOLVING RELIGION
Washington, May 11.?A minister
in the Middle West, founder and for
i twenty years pastor of a church, niurI
ried a couple while they wore bathing
1 suits, standing beside a public swim
mmg pooi. nis cnurcn promptly preferred
charges against him and will
try him for the offense of conduct
unbecoming a minister.
A New York judge had before him
a prisoner charged with "slapping his
old father." The offense was not serious
from the legal standpoint, since
the slap had been undamaging to anything
save dignity. The sentence was
that the offender paste in his hat a
written copy of the Fourth Commandment,
"Honor they Father1 and
thy Mother," and agree to obey it.
Commenting on the sentence, a court
officer said: "It may sound foolish,
but his neighbors will know it and
talk about it, and public opinion will
keep him well-behaved in future!"
In a Virginia court, a woman accused
of the serious crime of forgery
was sentenced to pay a fine ofy one
dollar and spend one hour in jail.
The court tempered the stern justice
of impersonal law with the tender
mercy of compassion for the helpless.
The triul developed that the
woman and her babv had suffered
hunger and cold from lack of necessities
the husband failed to provide,
though able. The woman opened a
letter addressed to her husband.found
a government check for disability allowance,
wrote the husband's name on
it, cashed it, and spent it for clothes
and food for herself and child.
An Indiana woman "died and kept
on living," according to the doctors
who nHn?trlo/l 'I'ho "
was that of a mother, run over by a j
train and fatally injured, who was]
kept alive and conscious for hours,
with mother-love anxiety over her |
children, after her heart had ceased to
beat, according to attending physicians.
, TWO BOYS DROWN
Two cases of drowning have been
i reported here but details are meagre.
Bud Sowel, colored, son of Jeannette
I Sowell, was drowned while attempting
to swim across Bluck Creek last!
Friday.

1 of May Marshall, was drowned a few
days ajro while seining in Thompson
