PACKING HOUSE DATA
FOR SOUTH CAROLINA

Clemson College, S. c., May a.
Owing to the recent movement to
establish a packing house at Or
angeburg and Greenville, it was nee
essary that some data be obtained
in regard to the number of hogs in
the state in order. that the business
men in terested might be intelligent
ly advised as to the practicability of
establishing them. The data was OBJ
tanned by the county agents by
school districts, and forwarded to
the extension division at Clemson
College, where it was tabulated by
Mr.. B. B. Hare, statiscian and
crop reporter for South Carolina.
The figures shown below compare
favorably with those in the 1910 CEN
sus for South Carolina.

George w. Williams of York, who

years, has been transferred to the
command of the battleship Oergon at
San Francisco. He was to go to a

illness of his wife, who was unable to
make the trip across the continent, he
was instead, at his own request, kept

Down From GreenyilIe.

Charley Lyon, who formerly held
the position of devil in this office, is
down from Greenville visiting friends
and selling automobiles. He is in a
red racer, and our son Bill tells us
that it has twice as much power as
any car in town, will run sideways,
and either forwards or backwards at
ninety miles an hour. He got his
information from Charley.
Charley informs US that his father
has arranged to have all his friends
in Abbeville county visit him during
the summer. He expects every man
who ever voted for him to bring his
wife and spend at least two weeks
with him. In order to accommodate
the guests he has rented a twenty
four room hotel OH Caesars Head.
Ninety six people can sleep in this at
night, and besides this he will have
several large tents in which the men
may sleep. He will have first class
barbecue cooker an hand, and ex-
poets to have a barbecue every other
uay. He will be able to entertain
about two hundred at a time, and in
this way he hopes to have a chance
to have all his old friends with him
before the summer is over.
Naturally he cannot write to all of
them to ask when they can come,
but he would be glad to hear from
them all at once telling him which
two weeks of the summer will suit
each one best so that arrangements
may be made for the entertainment
of all parties.
1t will be much more enjoyable
for parties to make the trip through
the country in buggies, and covered
wagons, etc., as they will in this way
be able to 60 about the mountains
and see the sights. 1t will be no
trouble to take care of all stock which
the visitors bring for this purpose, as
there is good grazing on the noun
tains.
Charley also tells US that his father
went up to Pickens sometime ago to
spend the night with an old friend
and while up there ne ran out OF
socks. He purchased twelve pairs OF
beautiful "reds" at S1.00 per Dozen
which Mrs. Lyon promptly gave way
on his return to Greenville.
From all that Charley tells us we
fear his mother has a hard time
making his father act as if he were
accustomed to a big city like Green
vile.

greatest of the industries centering
in Ogden. Through the development

outlet for their crops, one which
brings them steady and consis-

not only be ascribcd much of Ogden
prosperity but also that of every
community, including the entire

self has been benefited and its rich
ness enhanced by this culture of

Ranking second only to the sugar
industry, is the canning business
which is largely located in Weber
and Davis counties and is centralized
in Ogden. Through the growth OF
this industry which was founded in
1888 by ]. n. Pierce and his asso-
ciates, who forsaw the possibilities
OF the great development that has
been made, the farming activities
OF northern Utah have been given
another outlet for products of the
soil and thousands upon thousands
OF dollars have been expended yearly

Constant expansion OF the indus
tries located in Ogden, the founda-
ton OF new factories, the attention OF
its capitalists not only to the welfare
OF their own city but TO the growth
OF industries in other section OF both
Utah and Idaho has focused atten-
ton OF the western people-and many
eastern residents as wcll-on Ogden
as the manufacturing center OF the
entire intcrmountain country. These
developments have been combined
with the Capitalization OF railroad
termini and the general advantages
OF an agricultural district until to-
day Ogden takes front rank among
the western cities and it is making
more rapid progress as an indus
trial center than other communities
OF the west
Ogden has been located, it seems,
in a place that Nature intended
should be a commercial center-for
from this point radiate in each di-
rection OF the compass the most
feasible, the most direct routes for
railroads, electric lines, and roads
which are the prime necessity in such
for Ogden has been reinforced by
the efforts of her progressive citi-
zens, who realized this condition and
have decided to sponsor its greatest
upbuilding, through their invest
mcnt OF capital, industry, energy and
brought the progress to its present
extent and has heralded its future,
Standing in the very forefront OF
Ogdcn's development are the sugar
making, meat packing, food-canning
and allied industries There are other
establishments, many OF them, but
they are directly or indirectly allied
with these great businesses develop
ed within the past 20 or 30 years and
around the three greater food pro-
duciug efforts are conferred the up
building efforts Of Ogden, with its
corresponding development OF the
remainder of Utah Idaho and con-
tiguous territories of Wyoming and
Nevada.

lands and high standard of sanitary

lands and high standard OF sanitary
conditions.
The Ogden Packing & Provision
Company holds the record of being
the largest meat packing plant west
Of the Missouri river cities and with
its addition, now being completed,
will have a capacity to handle about
90 times as many hogs as it did when
founded in 1906 with corresponding
increase in the handling of cattle and
sheep as well. This gigantic plant,
housed in buildings that vary from
one to FIVE stories in height, has been
upbuilt entirely by Ogden capital and
industry, although today its market
extends entirely across the United
States while England's markets have
already been opened for it and the
demand comes now from other
European and from South American
countries.
In this industry, too, the entire in
terests of Utah and southern Idaho
are contradiction through this one
plant there is an outlet for all of the
hogs now being produced in this in
termountain territory and for many
more-for the great bulk of cattle
and sheep, as well. Cache County,
through its hay fields and its feed
ing grounds, through its development
of the hog industry and the cattle
business, profits every year from
the growth OF this immense plant.
There are other notable plants in
Ogden, such as the John Scowcroft
and Sons Company with its large
overall and work clothes factory and
its wholesale houses. This has been
another achievement of Ogden's cap
italists, a development by its own
citizens until today the Scowcroft
establishment holds the first place
for factory of its kind in the en-
tire west.
The Ogden Union Iron Works,
recently incorporated, will succeed
to the business OF the Western
Foundry & Machine Company and
will develope that industry, needed
as an ally to the other great man
ufactories The Eccles Sugar Com
pany entering the field by incorpor-
alton this year is also to extend
Ogden's growth as a factory com
munity beehive OF industrial
growth.

failures are common, the purchase Of

pensive but efficient spraying outfit or
to purchase cheaper somewhat less

Danger Of 0verplanting.

Early apples cannot be stored to

for that reason they must be used
up shortly after arriving on the mar

There Is no doubt u danger Of over

would not be profitable. However. In

As TO CHILD LABOR BILL
Some Facts Of the Legislation With
Which the Voters May Not Be
Properly Informed.

Tie child labor bill. which forbids
interstate traffic In goods turned out
by factories or mines employing chill.
dren under fourteen years Ut age or
working persons between fourteen
ana sixteen more than eight hours a
day, Is a fine piece Of humanitarian
legislation. BY making It federal
law congress, thanks to the inslstence
OF President Wilson, has done some
Thing most of the Intelligent people
OF the United States have desired for
the last 20 years.-Collier's Weekly.
But why not tell the whole story
and say that the child labor bill is In
Its origin n Republican measure which
would never have been enacted except
with Republican support and that Its
most determined opposition came from
Democratic senators representing
states Of the solid South, which form
the backbone of the Democratic party
why not tell, also, that the need
OF such law is not because of condl-
tions In Republican states, all of
which already have laws regulating
the labor of children, but because Of
conditions In few Democratic-ridden
Southern states which have-time
and again-defeated every effort to
curtail the employment of children In
their factories.
Why not tell. too. that "joker" hns
already been discovered In the bill
which may leave the door open for
evasion Of Its restrictions In the Dem
ocratic states where child labor is
lawful and still tolerated, II not en-.
couraged?
Finally, why not ask why President
Wilson remained deaf to the demand
for this fine piece Of humanitarian
legislation for nearly three years and
half Of his administration md be-
came active for II only on the eve of
his campaign for reelection In which
he wanted TO throw out this hook for
votes to make Republican progressIves
believe he was with them for progress
sive measures all the time7-Omaha

STRAWBERRY MULCH
OF GREAT Benefit
One Of Most Advantageous Prac.
tices in Care Of Plants
Good Berries Result.

Undoubtedly much OF the vIgor md
freshness Of strawberry patches which
are SO protected that the ground does
not freeze any time during the dor
mant season, is due to the slight bac-
terial action which goes on In un-
frozen ground In winter. which changes
lot Of unavoidable plant food into
available form.
Regardless Of the season of the year,
all ground which has heavy covering
on II Is apparently richer than that
which is left bare. When we have
snow which remains well through the
winter the ground Is In much better
shape thnn In other years and II
the following season Is u normal one
the crops usually do better. Because
OF this fact snow hns often been called
the poor mans manure.
Although strawberry mulching Is
not practiced extensively. II is one
Of the most beneficial practices In the
care Of strawberries. II does us much
rs nny practice toward the growing Of
good strawberries and n heavy nulck
