NEW INDUSTRY
FOR DILLON co.
DILLON MAN HEADS MOVEMENT FOR
TRUCKING INDUSTRY.
WILL PLANT At LEAST Is ACRES
MIR. r. l.. Moore Employs Expert
Truck Grower and Will Plant 10
Acres Near Town Next Year.

One of Dillon's most progressive
citizens, Mr.. E l.. Moore, has de-
cided that cotton is not the only
money making crop that can be
grown in this section, and next year
II is his purpose to engage in truck
ing to the extent of Is acres. Fiji
teen acres is a pretty large truck
farm and Mr.. Moore has secured
Mr.. w. ID. Ragsdale, an expert truck
farmer from Virginia, to look after
his trucking industry. Mr.. Moore
has some land in the western su-
burhs that will be used for truck
growing.
The Herald has always believed
that trucking in this section could
be made paying industry. The
truck is marketed early in
the spring and brings in enough
money to tide over the dull sum
mer months. There are several
cred in time to plant the same land
in corn or cotton without using
additional fertilizers.
Mr.. Moore has lost faith in cot
ton as a money crop. He does
not think the price Of cotton will
be any higher next fall and it is
his purpose TO prepare for low
price cotton by making start in
the trucking inductry.
Mr.. Moore is setting the farmers
a good example. There is no rea-
son why thousands upon thousands
or collars should net be turned
loose in this immediate section ev-
cry spring fer truck, and all that
is necessary to get the industry
started is for some progressive per
son to take the lead and show the
people how much more money land

"President DahbS Writes About Fer
tiliZeI.Sr ~

tiliZcIS."
AT a meeting last night, called
by the President Cf the S. G. State
Farmers Union to consider the fer
tiliZer question, the following ac-
tion was taken:
The Farmers Union recommend
to the farmers to make fertilizer
payne nts for 1912 in three equal
installments, the first TO be made
not earlier than Dec. 1st, and the
remainder at two intervals of not
less than thirty days.
The State Secretary and Treas
urer was instructed to send this
recommendation down to the local
unions, and through the press to
ask that all farmers insist upon
such terms.
This was the action of the
county business agents OF the Union
at the recent meeting IN Columbia
advising our people to buy no fer
tilizerS except at substantial re
duction from prices now prevailing
and to be very conservative in the
purchases regardless o! the prices
that may be offered, is regarded
by thoughtful men in the order
and business men and bankers
who were present by invitation as
being a long step towards prevent
ing sacrifice sales of cotton that
we so often see to meet the obliga-
tions increased to pay for excess
i've fertilizer bills.

Mice For Whooping Cough.

A fairly alarming relic of medieval
nostrums came to my notice recently.
A mother was discussing with her
housekeeper the probability of her
children taking whooping cough, which
was then prevalent in the community.
The housekeeper, most dependable,
valuable helper, of more than average
good sense and judgment, said: Mrs.
Black, if you'll let me l can keep your
children from having whooping cough.
I've kept lots of children from having
it, but I wouldn't do it without telling
You first
'Well, Martha, what is it,"
''You catch a live mouse and kill and
dress it and stuff it and bake it and
feed it to the children. 1t isn't bad to
take, and of course they don't know
what it is. That would spoil the
charm"
