cOLLETON COUNTY
LIVESTOCK PROGRESS

Colleton, June 2.-That Colleton
County is making rapid strides in
livestock development is evidenced
by a report of the first annual meet
ing of the Colleton County Livestock
Association which was held at Wal
terboror May 80. This association
was organized only month or two
ago, and County Agent F. w. Risher
reports that there is already a large
membership and that every section
of the county had good representa-
ton at. this first annual meeting.
On the program for the meeting
there were two illustrated lectures
on livestock, one by V. W. Lewis,
and the other by D. w. Williams,
both of the Animal Husbandry Div
ision of the Extension Service. There
was also a talk by County Agent q.
D. Robertson, Of Hampton County,
on cooperation among farmers.
After the addresses there was a
general business meeting of the as
sociation at which some very import
ant steps were taken to advance the
cause of good livestock in Colleton
County. The association pledged it.

the hogs which weighed total Of
24,19O pounds.
The hogs were graded by L. c.
Madison of the Animal Husbandry
Division of the Extension Service,
and buyers who had come to bid up
on the hogs were allowed to make
their bids. The sale was made on the
ground to an Orangeburg broker and
commission merchant, since his bid
compared favorably with prices on
the Richmond market to which it
had been planned the shipment
would be made.
Prices received were 17.23c. for
first grade, 16.25c. for second grade,
and 15.25c. for third grade. There
were 50 grade one hongs in the lot.
The total cash received for the sale
amounted to $4O13.9O.
Other shipments will be made from
the county in the fall. County Agent
Mills says, "There is a large number
of surplus pigs and shotes in New
berry County, and the cooperative
sale has solved the market problem
so that the farmers will not hesitate
to grow them out"

Frank Moss's Bungalow Burned.

A fire, which was the probable result
of Sunday fishing, and the carelessness
of someone, caused the loss Sunday of
Frank Moss s bungalow and contents.
The fire was discovered about the
noon hour in the grass on Frank Moss s
moving, and was running from the
Branch toward the bungalow. Help was
called and the small stable was saved,
but the bungalow was entirely con-
sumed.
On Saturday Mrs. Moss had mat
tresses and bedding moved into the bun
galow, making it ready for occupancy
when other members of the family ar
rived late this week. The fire seems to
have started near the branch from some
one carelessly dropping a lighted match
into the dry grass. Mrs. Moss and
others saw fishermen going down the
stream but a short time before and a
place was found where evidently lunch
con had been eaten and food heated.
