Farmers are working on full time
these fine days. 1t is the general ex-
pectation that this long spell of fine
weather will be followed by one of
foul weather. but is that always true?
Not necessarily.
Farmers are buying more fertilizers.

The other day "Hagood" was walk
ing the streets Of Sumter with a
bucket Of eggs and bucket of butter
when he met a certain gentleman Of
the bandbox type and was not recog-

hams, eggs, butter, etc. Possibly it is

bone. sausage. hogshead souse. ham
and eggs. chicken, home pie, milk,
money, butter, fruits, ETC., all Of which

a thrifty wife. Say, does your wife
