MOBILIZE
FARM WORK
OF NATION
Federal, State and Local Officials to
Pull Together to Solve Farm
Help Problem

WESTINGHOUSE the govern
ment plant for the organization of farm
labor, the details of which were an
nounced by the U. S. department OF
agriculture today, provision is made for
nation wide cooperation in the solu-
tion of the farm help problem. The
work of organization already has been
started in about 40 states, and it is ey-
pected that eventually every communi-
ty in the United States will be reach
ed. 1t is believed that the resultant
utilization of emergency labor will be-
gin to have an appreciate effect on
the farm labor situation before the
season has far advanced. Meanwhile,
the immediate and acute problem of
supplying labor for the harvests, now
beginning in the southwest, is being
handled, SO far as the United States
governments services are concerned
through the existing employment SER
vice of the U. S. department of labor,
which will continue to handle such
the new plan as it has in the past.
Nation and State Help.
The plan is based on close coopera-
ton on the part of the u. S. department
of agriculture and the U. S. department
of labor with state committees on ma
tional defense charged with labor mat
tiers, with the state agricultural col !
Ieges, with the county agents, and with |
county and local or township labor
committees or representatives to be
esta blished in every locality. The de-
partment of agriculture will represent
the federal authorities in determining
farm labor needs and in assisting in
organizing all available farm labor in
the rural districts. The u S. depart
ment of labor will devote it's attention
to organizing labor in urban communi-
ties and industrial regions, and will CO.
operate with the farm labor forces
where necessary by obtaining extra la
Dor from the populous centers.
Work for community Man"
The plan provides for strictly local
handling of all labor problems that
can be adjusted locally. The funda-
mental unit of the organization is the
community man" who, with the as
of such committees as he may
appoint, canvasses his own neighbor-
rood, finds out what farmers need
leIp, and what men are available for
supplying the local need, and effects
iuch adjustments as can be made To-
ally. If, after all local adjustments
AVE been made, there remains either
. deficit or surplus of labor, he re- a
,orts to the county man" whose bust G

ness it is to effect adjustments between
the several communities in his county.
The county man, in turn, reports any
deficit or surplus to the state man.,
who canvasses the situation for the
state as whole and reports to the de-
partment of agriculture, which, in close
cooperation with the department of
labor, is charged with the distribution
of mobile labor for the country as
whole

Wedding a Surprise

Coming as a great surprise to their
many friends in Moscow was the mar
riage of Miss Ada Barnes, the daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. F. Barnes OF
this city, to DR.. Thomas Elliott OF
Genesee. Although it was known that
Miss Barnes and DR.. Elliott had been
engaged to be married for some time,
no definite date for the wedding had
been given out The marriage took
place at Colfax late this afternoon.

Thus each unit in the system acts as

The plan provides that supplemental
reports shall be submitted by each

HOME CANNING

Every farmer should have
a small canning outfit for
use in preserving fruit and
vegetables for winter. An
abundance Of canned pro-
ducts Of this sort adds COM
fort and health to the family,
and often there Is enough
surplus to give a nice little
income. 1t is seldom that
canned fruits and vegetables
Of fine quality fail to COM
mand a good price. With a
good fall garden one does not
so much feel the need Of
canned vegeta bles, but there
are a great many Of the ten
der sorts that will not grow
at this season and must be
preserved in cans. Think also
Of the number Of fruits that
may be canned. Even where
one has neglected to have a
good orchard there are in
most localities an abundance
Of blackberries, blue berries.
huckleberries, grapes and
cherries growing wild. In
case enough vegetables have
not yet been planted to fur
nish a surplus to can. it is a
good time now to make up
the deficiency. Tomatoes.
map beans, lima beans.
sweet potatoes. and other
vegetables may yet be plant
ed for canning during the
late summer. Any one in
terested in canning should

BE 4 FARMER
PATRIOT

With the packing house assured for
the State this fall all farmers should
recruit at once in the army Of meat
producers which will put South Caro-
lima on a self supporting basis. as
we'll as help feed the millions Of peo-
pie who are now dependent on the
United States for food supplies. This
is the time for the farmer to exert
himself more than ever to grow
plenty of food stuffs on the farm.
The possibilities Of a good wheat and
oat crop are very poor, and this
makes it all the more necessary TO
prepare to grow more feed stuffs and
to grow more meat than ever before.
Be a farmer patriot.

county demonstration agent at once
for aid, unless you have already had
his services. in which case you ought
to know how to proceed without his
help. 1t is impossible for him to see

yourself after one demonstration.

Lime And Humus Work Together

The organic matter in soils is
constantly breaking down and
humus is being formed, This
decomposition, which is Quite es'
sential in a fertile soil, is pro-
NOTED by an application of lime,
which acts directly, as well as in
directly, by increasing the bac.
terial growth.
Humus is necessary for a pro,
ductive soil. 1t is beneficial in
each of the following ways.
1t enlivens the soil.
1t makes a home for bacteria.
1t lets air and water into the
soil.
1t retains the moisture.
Itkeeps the soil loose and warm
1t makes the soil productive.
1t prevents washing ann bak'

FARM NEWS.

son County Farmers.
Farmers Solve Feed Question.

Many farmers are complaining
tnat they cannot afford to feed
their live stock more on account
of the high prices of feed. De-
spite this fact, thirty head of
yearlings and calves, recently
sold at Nashville, brought an
average of $188,5O per head. A
big price, you think, but they
were registered Herfords. They
brought their Middle Tennessee
breeders a handsome profit, for
they were all young. They had
never had an opportunity to cost
much money. These feeders
were we'll pai9 for the feed their
calves ate, and are still in the
business.
It all depends upon the kind of
stock you put your feed into, and
how well you do your part, as to
whether you make money or not.

The High Cost Of Mud.

!. That's it exactly. Mud comes
high. A muddy road costs lots
more than hard, dry road. The
United States Department of
Agriculture has been carrying on
some Investigations for five years
in selected counties in Virginia,
New York, Alabama, Florida,
and Mississippi, and find that
good roads have increased land
value from rs to l94per cent and
reduced hauling costs to less
than one-half what they were
with bad roads.
In a word, it is cheaper to
build good roads than to drive
through the mud. Also and
moreover, it is pleasanter and
more conducive to happy homes
and friendly feelings.

Success And Reading.

Most persons look to the sue
cessful farmer with envy, But
there is no reason for this. The
successful farmer has been sue
cessful because of his close ap-
plication to the details of a busi-
ness which he has studied care
fully. The advertisement for a
farm paper in a recent issue of a
printers magazine expresses the
idea in this way.
Everybody looks up to and re-
spects the successful farmer.
He is one best asset in every
community.
'The rest of the world may be
madly, engaged in a feverish sort
of football scrimage for place or
power, but the man with a lot OF

ing always good live stock, is A

Egg prices are unusually high
Just now and there is no pros
poets that they will be anything
else this winter. Egg boycotts
in the cities are becoming CON-
mon. In New York the moving
picture shows are helping tell
the people who attend them not
to buy eggs until prices go down.
Evidently the average New York
family cannot have eggs and
movies both, and is going to do
without eggs.
That is the ridiculous side of
the high price situation. The
bvsiness side or it is this; The
average hen does not lay more
than half as many eggs during
| the winter as she would lay ii
properly treated. Almost any
farmer can add to his egg returns
this winter, and most farmers
could double theirs. Dry, clear
houses, free from drafts, atten
tion to parasites, green feed
grit, and lime, an abundant sup
ply of mixed grains and eithel
milk or some form of meat scral
will bring the eggs this winter
and every egg will bring a goot
price. The man who makes hi

In the house or barn. There she
hides quite content from the cold
weather until about the middle of
March, when the first warm
spring days tempt her out into

decides to multiply the fly family
and if the manure pile is not
convenient she searches out the
next best place in some filthy
backward or psjvy vault or gar

DR.. Jacob Talks on Hog Cholera.

To anyone interested in or
identified with live stock sanitary
control work it is apparent that
success in the control and eradi-
cation of transmissable disease
depends in a great measure on
intelligent public cooperation.
This is especially true with di-
seases that are widespread, and
of which hog cholera furnishes a
most excellent example" said
DR.. M. Jacobs, State Veterinarian
when interviewed on this ques-
ton.
in those communities where
we have been able to develop
deep interest and an intelligent
appreciat ton of the true nature
of hog cholera, most excellent
progress is being made and loss
les materially lessened. For the
past year or more we have car
ried on an educational campaign,
principally in the form of publil
meetings and demonstrations,
carrying the work into those Sec
tions where it appeared to be
needed. The result of these
meetings were so apparent that
we decided to strengthen our plan
in such a way, so that it could be
carried into all parts of the State
as quickly as possible under the
