MARKETING FARM PRODUCTS
orangeburg Forms First Association In
State.--WiiI Handle No Cotton

! Orangeburg. The organization or
marketing association In Orangeburg Is
matter of greater interest agricultur-
ally than may be thought of In this
state. = The question Of providing
market for the farmer is big question
looming up before the business men OF
The south Orangcburg being the live
stock and agricultural center Of South
Carolina, w. w. Long. state agent,
'arm demonstration work, came hero
first in his plan Of organizing mar.
keting associations and inaugurating q
plan for the sale Of all farm products
according to standardized methods.
DR.. Long is anxious that publicity he
given this important step in agricul-
ture in order that the farmers may
know just what is being done for them.
Upon short notice a representative
gathering Of Orangeburg business mon
assembled recently at the court house
to hear what DR.. Long had to say.
The proposition was carefully gone
into and every man present subscrib-
ed to the enterprise. Orangeburg will
have the first marketing associations
In South Carolina.
The plan Is to employ an expert
buyer who will have headquarters at
Orangeburg. He will purchase all
produce raised by the farmer accord
Ing to standards. Cotton will not be
| purchased This expert will teach
the farmers how to grade their corn,
grain, eggs, etc, in order to secure
the highest prices according to grades.
! The trouble has been heretofore that
farmers would bring in corn. for ex.
ample, for sale, and the bulk OF 1t
would be q mixture Of good and bad
corn. He, therefore, obtained poor
prices for the corn. The nillers do
not care to purchase Southern corn
because it Is not graded The market
Ing association will fill this want and
the farmer will not only market his
products according to standards, but
will have ready market at any time
during the year.
The expert buyer will make his con-
nections for the sale Of produce and
will pay the highest market price for
same. The brokerage plan will be
adopted and the association will not
be allowed to pay more than per
cent to those who provide the money
to carry on the marketing associa-
ton. The marketing association will
furnish bags, containers. etc, for sale
: to the farmers at a slight profit, III
order that the farmer may sell his
produce in the standard way
The organization OF such mark citing
;. association in South Carolina will
= mean much, especially if the farmer
/, will use the association. Dr.. Long
:, will visit other communities to tel
= them what Orangeburg Is doing ant
. will endeavor to enlist them in the
work Of greater agriculture in South

not afford to increase the cost OF ma

Especially valuable is wheat bran
for feeding poultry when used in COM
bination with cut clover or cut alfalfa
Lime is essential to poultry, partic-
ularly during the laying season, and
sufficient quantities must be fed for
the making Of the shell Of an egg.
Foods rich In lime, are bones and
clovers, as well as bran and mid.
dlings, and the safe plan Is to feed as
large variety of foods as is posi-.
BILE.
Never depend entirely on oyster
shells as a source for furnishing lime
to poultry, as the percentage OF
soluble lime from the shells is very
small, indeed.
Grain foods are poorest in lime
substances, containing only about one
pound Of lime to the thousand pounds.
while white and red clovers will aver.
age from rs to 30 pounds to the 1000
pounds.
When feeding fowls for eggs, en-
deavor to equalize the food and pro-
vide the fowls with foods in proper
ton for obtaining the desired result.
When poultry houses have open
fronts with other sides closed to pre-
vent draughtsr there is no other or
better ventilation needed for the
fowls.
Poultry, bees and orchards are
winning combinations to play to
when one has the time and opportun-
tty to do so.
Poultrymen who are looking for the
largest profits in poultry raising
should become acquainted with the
making Of capon.
The capon is to the cock what the
steer Is to the bull; the barrow to the
boar, the wether to the ram, and when
marketed, the capon brings the high
est price the year round.
The mysteries Of capon1zing have
been narrowed down to practical and
sensible operations that are easily
performed by the average man with
out scientific course of training.

Siberia, Far From Being

Population of 100000, 900.

Stories Of the westward flight Of
Siberian exiles, following the revolu-
ton and the release Of about 100000
prisoners who have been held by the
Russian government In Siberia, gave
a somewhat wrong impression Of ST.
IBERIA. These prisoners have for the
most part been held in eastern and
northeastern Siberia. the cold regions.
They have worked in mines under
leartless overseers. Many of them
were exiled without trial, and most of
them were political prisoners, sen.
fenced after perfunctory trial by
government officials who took their
orders and meted out justice accord
ingly.
Naturally the news of the success.
full revolution and the release Of the
exiles resulted in a scramble to get
home. But it should not be inferred
from this that Siberia will within a
short time be deserted, observes the
Indianapolis News. To the west Is a
vast region into which, in the ten
years preceding the war, some 5000.
600 Russians went of their own &C.
cord. The total population of west.
ern Siberia is now 100000, while the
population of the rest of Siberia Is
only 2,5OO,OOO.
Although there are many rich DE-.
posits Of gold, silver, copper. iron and
coal In western Siberia, iron mines are
not worked much because of the lack
Of transportation facilities. 1t is chiei.
iy at present an agricultural region,
attracting Russian farmers who sees
better and cheaper land, as American
farmers once went west in search of
better opportunities. A British trade
agent, writing In the British Export
Gazette, says this district will sup.
port population of S00,0OOOOO, but
at the present rate of colonization il
will be many years before the popula.
ton becomes as large as that of Euro.

British agents estimate.
