q. J. WATSON Commissioner
A Weekly Bulletin of
information

this week writes: "You have sold my
pigs, now sell my fine young Jersey
cow" The Bureau Is going to do Its
best to obey orders. Another farm
woman up in Spartanburg county
writes: "rhe Bureau is invaluable,
but have not found a Grandfather
clock yet" The Bureau being very
young is finding 1t difficult to get the
Grandfather clock, but surely some
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 moro 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 vf an ad.
