South Carolina Farmers May Sen
l. Product. -
To the Editor Of The State

To the Editor Of The State. :.
note from an exchange that South
Carolina farmers are unable to- sell
their pork on account of 1t being soft Z
finished. For your information want
to say that soft finished pork brings,
the highest price of any on the Amer.
Jean market, and there is a market for
all the hogs in the country that are
In condition to be butchered. Prob.
ebly from 10000 to 10000 such, hogs
can be sold this spring to the packers
in Suffolk, Va. the Suffolk Meat COM
pany or the Suffolk Packing company.
Both of these concerns buy locally and
in car lots. The man who Is conn,
planning about a market probably has
thin meat, which is not desirable. Soft
finished pork is desirable for cooking
as it is easily boiled or fried out.
I Thousands Of tons will be used In,
army rations by Gamers putting up
pork and beans for the armies Of
Europe in the next few months. The,
way most of this meat is disposed OF
by farmers is to cure It and next sum.
mer and fall take the peak OF the.
market.
At retail in New York and the large
cities of the country these hams ssli
for 46 TO so cents per pound, and
tho bacon; at the same price. There
is. one great trouble about these hama
w-thera has never been a time whsn
There has been enough to 60 around
or to fill the demand. And still there
are formers In. southeastern. Virginia,
and northeestern North, CarSlipa who
average raising about q thousand hogs
q year besides their other crops. -,
! I will, send you the name and adj
dress OF one. Of the best soft pork
packers who has ever operated In, the
section mentioned. If YOU: desire to.
make Columbia the foremost packing
centre OF the Southeast this man may
be induced to Join hands with you, I
am interested In the welfare Of South
carolins, and would like to sse ~
bloom. .r -
j., At present the farmers who will
plant the little white navy bean and
harvest it and put u on the markSt
will make q fortune. Tne crop was
short and the demand greater than
usual Ask your grocer what hs can
sell them for. South Carolina can
tma'a ttmarket them month earlisr. than
those further North and get the hish
Eprice and still take q crop Of corn OK

Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1916-04-14
HELD ACT WAS JUSTIFIED
Judge Put Himself in the Prisoners
Position and Felt He Would
Have Also Slain.

If there was one thing Ossup Mango
was partial to, it was a good moving
picture. So he settled down in an aisle
seat with sigh of expectation as the
eighty-seventh episode of ''The Haz-
ards of Hannah" began on the screen.
Just as the note explaining the vii
lain's motive was flashed on, stout
man with all his hair in his whiskers
wedged himself in front of Ossup on
his way to an inside seat.
"Pshaw, missed the motel" thought
Ossup. "Ah! He's going to blow up the
bridget"
Half a second before the dynamite
went off, a thin woman with three
babies in her arms got in front of him
on her way in.
And love explosions, tool" NUT
tered Ossup. But few minutes later
he frightened, for the aeroplane chase
started.
All during the chase Ossup was gaz-
ing at the back of a fireman who had
got wedged between Ossup's knees and
the seat in front.
81 know" thought Ossup. I'll wait
for the second show and see the parts
these people have made me miss" And
he did, and during the note scene the
thin woman stood in front of him on
her way out, the fireman blocked the
bridge explosion and the stout man
hid the aeroplane chase.
1t was then that Ossup Mango killed
the two ushers who came down tC
ch;de him for complaining aloud. But
later, the Judge who tried him, being &
movie fan himself, discharged hin
with words of commendation.-
