If any one had any doubt as to
whether or not the South Carolina
State Bureau of Marketing was help
ing the farmer to dispose of his
surplus products the following note
received from farmer near Ridge
way in Fairfield county ought to be
convincing:

yet. l advertised 125 bushels of
Cleveland Big Boil Cotton Seed
through it and soon sold all at 80
cents the bushel. / also sold Al
pounds of Angora wool at sea-
sonable price. l also have sold
quite number of pigs through the
Bureau at good prices. Could have
sold five times as much Cleveland
Cotton Seed at the same price. Long
live the Bureau"
\ And then from way up in Oconee
near Westminster a farmer writing
Ito get some registered hogs and
other stock says:
Il think that the Bureau is rend-
ering the people of South Carolina
great service, and l for one at
least appreciate it." This week al
