pigs, now sell my fine young Jersey
cow" The Bureau Is going to do it's
best to obey orders. Another farm
woman up in Spartanburg county
writes: "The Bureau is invaluable,
but have not found Grandfather

body must have one that they want to
sell-and the wants Of the women on
the farm must be met.
This week offerings of clover seed
from the new crop are beginning to
come in and it Is noteworthy that OF
the clover seed listed the majority
Of the offerings are from women farm
ers.
This week the offerings and wants
are now more diversified than ever
before, even peafowls and magnolia
blooms now figure in the list and one
woman outside the State has asked the
Bureau to dispose Of two pairs Of solid
gold trimmed eyeglasses for her. She
had read of the effectiveness of the
South Carolina Bureau and wrote
from her home In the city Of an ad
joining state. OF course the request
cannot be complied with, but it illus
trates the fact that the individual in
need sees the value Of such service.
Now that the planting season for
cowpeas is at hand and the supply of
seed Is SO abundant there Is every in.
dication that the greatest acreage in
cowpeas ever known In South Caro-
lima Is going to be planted and since
the publication Of the Departments
bulletin on Farming the Air with
the Cowpea," No. 81, has been issued
giving the results Of last years work
numerous calls for nitrocuture at 40c
a bottle delivered to be used in inocu-
lating cowpeas, are being received.
The Department is in position to
furnish the fresh cultures Immediate
ly upon receipt Of orders, and If the
experience of such men as Mr.. Gerety
of Charleston, and scores Of others
whose names are. given in the bulle.
tin is worth anything, general advan-
tage will be taken Of the opportunity
to get more luXuriant pea crop and
store more nitrogen in the soil than
heretofore.
