OCONEE COUNTY's GOOD FARM
some Other Farms in Our County.
Thanksgiving Day.

Editor Keowee Courier: For the
h';t time in eight years | recently
visited the county farm, and was
p'eascd to find so many improve
m"nts. The buildings arc in good re-
par; the inmates are well cared
FOR: the crop Is indeed good The
corn crop is estimated at 1900 bush
els, fodder 1860 bundles; peas S8
bushels, rye 25 bushels. hay 7h
iohs, mclasses 148 gallons, sweet po-
iatoes 200 bushels; Irish potatoes
ana peanuts yet to be harvested.
There are 16 fine hogs to kill, and
they will average 800 pounds each.
There are pumpkins to beat the
band, and chickens "world without
end.' At the way everything is SELL
iiG now. the county farm, under the
supervision Of w. r. Cobb, has made
ABOUT $6,440 worth Of produce, in
Guiding about ten bales of cotton.
While Mr.. Cobb looks after the
farm, stock, ETC., Mrs. Cobb takes
great interest and care in looking af-
ter the household duties pertaininr
TO the place--in other words, she
RotHers each one there with much
thought and tenderness. The county
IS indeed fortunate in having Mr.,
And Mrs. Cobb to manage the affairs
oI the county home and farm. They
VII do--keep them there. That is
my Judgment.
The Wolf Stake Section,
From the county farm we drove
over into the Wolf Stake section and
2rent the night at the home of Geo.
y. White. He is pusher-a get
'here-Elw sort Of fellow-and he
and his good wife make one feel at
home under their roof. They have
an interesting family
My next drive was to Robert
Whites for dinner He had killed
a porker the day before, and Mrs.
White knows just how to cook, and
We all enjoyed that dinner. One feels
perefctly a. ease in the homes Of
George and Robert White.
But Bob Boyd has THE potato
patch and the potatoes, too-the
largest that l have seen. Bob Is a
hustler when 1t comes to caters"
and anything else for that matter.
J m very fond OF Bob; he's good,
clever fellow.

Governor Issues Thanksgiving Proc
lamation-Urgcs Observance.

Governor Manning has issued the
following Thanksgiving proclama-
ton:
Conscious OF our supreme duty to
our fellowmen in this age Of strife,
not unmindful of our responsible
ties In this day of preparation, and
undaunted by no sacrifice in this hour
of need, the people Of our State, in
accord with their honored custom,
SHOULD cease from their labors for a
day OF Thanksgiving and praise to AL
mighty God, from Whom cometh
every good and perfect gift. In the
midst Of this great conflict it is be-
hitting that we should pause from our
work and pray to Him for guidance
in our future endeavor, praising Him
for the benefits He has given us,
blessed with bounteous crops, sus-
tanned by clear conscience, uplifted
by high ideals of justice and liberty
Tor humanity.
Let us pray that the spirit that
once imbued our countrymen in their
fight for independence shall, with
Ills divine benediction, be our guide
ut this time when we have cast our
lot with other free peoples to destroy
the forces Of iniluity, barbarism and
tyranny.
This day Of thanksgiving shall be
the occasion of calling our people ito
the seriousness Of the hour. Thanks
giving, prayer and fasting should
mark the day rather than feasting,
sports and entertainments. A world
tragedy is upon us. Let us realize
1t and turn with all our hearts to
God to guide us. praying that we may
play our part as Christian men and
women, and as patriots, and that in
His, good time He will lead us to VIC
tory over injustice, cruelty and op-
preston.

Turkey Raising Urged by Govt.

Washington, Nov. 21.-Turkey
raisers throughout the country were
called upon by the food administra-
ton to-day to keep immature birds
until they reach full growth instead
Of killing them for THANKSGIVING.
The administration expects full
supply Of turkeys this year at rea-
sonable prices, and cautions raisers
that the killing OF immature nocks
not only will mean loss on weight.
but may glut the market and bring
down prices generally.

MUST RAISE MORE PORK.
Sows Must Be Bred In Large Num-
bers to Insure Meat Supply.

TO win the war we need more
meat. TO get an increased meat sup
ply quickly hog breeding, must be in
creased materially throughout the
country, and in certain States an in
crease Of from 25 to so per cent in
the number of hogs is recommended
by the United States Department Of
Agriculture.
The situation is Of great import
ance. We must have plenty of meat
for our armies and the armies of the
allies in the field, and sufficient meat
for our civilian population and the
civilian population of the allies at
home. To have this meat, breeding
animals must reproduce themselves
so the offspring will be available for
slaughter in the future. Hogs can
be increaFed quicker than any other
kind OF live stock. Therefore lar
ger number of sows must be bred
now than I'm recent years.
In addition to the fact that there
Is an imperative demand for more
meat as a war measure, it should be
taken into consideration that we now
have an abundance of feed crops
With which to produce this necessary
increase in the number Of hogs. The
demand for meat is certain, and it
will be profitable to the farmer to
market some ofjthis heavy grain
supply on the hoof.
The increase in the number of
hogs for various States, as recon-
mended by the department. is as fol-
lows:
Missouri, SO per cent; Alabama,
30; Iowa, 25; Kansas, rs; Indiana,
20; Illinois, 20; Mississippi, 20;

No reports have been received from
Cache creek district. but this district
too. is probably experiencing high
water on account of the heavy rains
which have been general in that re-
gion. Bridges in neighboring districts
generally, have been washed away.
Trails are in deplorable condition and

Heavy storms are also reported
from the district north of Anchorage
ard the Turnagain Arm district is
having its share of rainy weather.
During the stormy weather of the past

but no particular damage other than
blowing down a few trees resulted
