Makes WORLD'S HAY RECORD.
! Z. Thompson, of P~cndlct0n, is
Awarded that Distinction.
(AnderSon Mgn.)

H. is not generally known that an
Anderson county (SOuth Carolina)
farmer last year produced the largesC
yield Of hay ever raised off of one
acre of land in the history of the
Unired States. The feat was per-
formed, if it is proper to term it a
Seat, by j. r. Thompson, of Pendle-
%On, who raised from one acre Of
land a total Of 12,7O5 pounds, Gre
ting the worlds record for hay pro-
auction to the acre. Mr.. Thompson
planted a combination of orchard
grass, Italian rye grass, tall meadow
grass and red clover, the blend from
the four making a very excellent hay.
Mr.. Thompson raised this crop on
an average ordinary acre Of land, but
the same was produced under the di-
reciion Of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, bureau Of DEM
onstration. He followed instructions
given him closely and minutely. He
planted the crop under the direction
Of the county demonstration, j.. w.
Rothrock, jointly employed by the
United States government and the
Anderson Chamber Of Commerce.
This year Mr.. Thompson Is plant
ing three acres to the same class of
blended hay, and expects to dupli-
cate his feat of last year on the
greater acreage.
The accomplishment Of Mr.. Thomp-
son in producing the worlds record
hay crop from one acre is especially
interesting as showing the wonder
fui adaptability Of Anderson and
other Piedmont counties for the
growing of grasses, thus producing
h~igh-grade hays, and in consequence
building up OF a great fat-stock and
dairying industry. In fact, Bradford
Knapp, head of the farmers co-ope-
rattve demonstration department, is
reported as having recently stated
that no section of the world offers
better opportunities for the raising of
hiEh-grade stock than the Piedmont
cOuatry.
50 enthused are the agricultural
experts with the success made by Mr..
thompson and others in this direc-
ton in Anderson and adjoining coun-
ties, that the agricultural agent for
South Carolina, w. w. Long, with
headquarters at Clemson College,
when in Anderson recently, stated
that his department would especially
take notice of this class of develop
ment, and do everything possible to
encourage the raising Of legumes and
grasses adapted to the b%uildin,. up Of
the live stock and dairying industry
in this section.
According to Mr.. Long, who Is one
of the best posted agricultural ex-
perts in the United States, the time
Is close at hand when the Piedmont
counties will become among the
greatest fat-stock counties in the
United States, all Of which will ma
terially increase the value of lands
and ten to build up other branches
OF agriculture, and will in time Gre
ate almost automatically q great
dairying industry in this section.

Solute equality. There are no such

equality as between all nations"

provision, thus insuring to American

no protection, on our own shores,

The Retail Merchants Associa

The Retail Merchants Associa.
ton gave a smoker Tuesday
evening at eight o'clock. Punch
and good cigars were served.
Some very important points
were discussed. President w.
r. Mellon requested the secreta
~ TO furnish ratinfis on people
in the county as TO whether they
owned their homes or not. 1t
was also agreed that no one
could obtain credit who is rated
delinquent by the Association.
The Associa ton, of which eve
ry business man in the county
should be mem Der, does not
keep people from getting credit,
it only rates them and if they
don't pay their accounts, of
course they don't deserve and
credit.
If you owe some business man
you should see him and make
arrangements with him so you
will get good rating.
1t is not for the purpose Of
advancing prices OF anything; it
is to protect the poor man who
pays his accounts and keeps the
dead beat from beating every
body.
Don't believe any fish story
about the Association being
against the poor folks. 1t is the
best thing on earth for them, il
they pay or try 30 meet their
obligations. The rich men can
not get credit unless they pay
their accounts; so if you one and
all do not want to be refused
credit, thirty days as we'll as
twelve months. pay your bills
prompt and you will be wei,
coined in any business house in
Marion county.
