Concord routes will be in operation
by December 18th. The cream will
be shipped to the Darlington cream
cry until Sumter creamery Is assur-
ed.
The establishment of the creamery
| depends upon the interest displayed
by the farmers and the business men
of Sumter and Sumter county as to
whether the capital and the cream
will be supplied.
If these two routes are establish
ed there will be two collections and
shipments of cream a week on each
route.
The individual who does the COL
lecting will weigh and inspect each
farmers cream. and will place small
sample of each farmers cream in a
bottle provided by Clemson College,
with the number of the farmer and
the cream route on the bottle. These
samples are sent to Clemson college
for inspection and a record kept of
the amount of butter fat, proteins,
hygienic conditions, number Of pounds
Of cream furnished by each farmer,
etc.
Rigid requirements regarding sani-
tary milking, handling OF cream,
conditions of milking places, steril-
ization Of utensils, etc. will be put in
force, but of a comprehensive and
simple manner that will work no
hardship or extraordinary labor on
the producers Of the cream.
Experts from the department of
agriculture will inspect each dairy
farm supplying cream, and also the
creameries from time to time.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick requests that any
farmer desiring to purchase improved
breeds Of milk cows communicate
with the Sumter Chamber of Com
merce and the secretary will put them
In immediate. touch with Mr.. Will
liams and Mr.. Fitzpatrick, who know
just where milk COWS are to be pur-
chased.
A very satisfactory meeting Of
farmers was held at Bethel school
yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Fitzpatrick
talked for nearly one hour, showing in
detail just how much each cow would
profit per month under certain con-
ditions of care md feeding. Those
farmers present asked a great many
questions and were very much inter-
ested. Demonstrators Williams also
took part in the explanations regard
ing dairy routes and feeding, etc.
The commercial secretary extended
the farmers the use Of the Chamber
of Commerce facilities in any way
that this organization can be utilized
for cooperative purposes. ...
Local Farm Dennonstrator williams
feels reasona oily certain that Bethel
section working III cooperation with
Tuomey and Privateer sections will
furnish sufficient cream for one route.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick and Mr.. Williams
went to Concord township to hold a
meeting Of the farmers today to see
about the proposed Concord cream
cry route.
AS soon as Mr. Williams signifies
that the time has arrived the Cham
Der Of Commerce will call a meeting
Of farmers and Sumter business men
to discuss the establishment Of the

change in this city.

OVERSEEING THEIR CROPS.
Many Southern Farmers Planting
Acres to Wheat and Oats.

Southern farmers are planting their
acres to other crops than cotton. &C
cording to a statement made public by
the Department of Agriculture, declar-
ing that oats were planted in cotton
states last fall on nearly 2,000. 900 more
acres than were sown in this grain
during the fall of 1913. In the acreage
devoted to wheat the increase was al
most as great
The estimated figures, as made pub
lie by the Department of Agriculture,
were:
Planted in oats. fall of 1913, 2,455.o 900:
1914. 4,355.000.
Planted in wheat, fall of 1913, $780,
900; 1914. 7.271,000.
The increase in the acreage sown to
both fall wheat and oats in the cotton
states. the department said. appears
to have been more than 10 per cent of
the acreage planted to cotton last year
Reports received by the department
indicate an intention on the part of the
planters in the cotton states to con-
siderably increase the acreage of the
1915 spring planting to corn and spring
oats.

The three Berlin landwehr men had just

FREE SEED FIGHT Vain
House Votes &52, $40 for the An
nual Distribution, Despite
Opposition.

The annual fight over the congress
sional and departmental distribution
of free seeds to the farmers Of the
country was waged in the House today,
and the opponents of free seeds lost.
The bill appropriates s252,540 for free
seeds.
Representative Young of North Da-
kota started the fight by moving to
strike out the paragraph limiting the
seeds purchased by the government for
the purpose to vegetable and flower
seeds.
He explained that it amounted to a
distribution of a few cents worts of Or
binary seeds that had no real merit or
value to the farmer, and was therefore
a waste. His motion was lost. and Rep
resentative Page of North Carolina
moved to strike out the whole para
graph relating to free seeds. His mo-
ton was rejected by vote of 90 to &C.
During the debate Representative
Gordon of Ohio contended that the free
seeds were an 'indefensible donation,
not to the farmers, but to congress
men"
