POULTRY AT SUMAS

Sumas is beginning to get envious
of the fine success that many Lynden
farmers are making in the poultry
business, and the 3umas News-Ad-
yocate last week contained the FOL
lowing bit of advice in regard to Su-
mas and the poultry industry:
1T is somewhat remarkable that
more Sumas farmers have not gone
into the poultry business. Only a
small tract of land is needed-10 to
20 acres-to handle couple of hun
dred hens, from which 8. good living
for the average family and small
bank account may be accumulated.
Any kind of an old hen now is worth
$1.75 to $500. and eggs always bring
a fair price and ready market. or
course. to make the business profit
able it is necessary to bre.h only the
best laying strains and then handle
them properly.
lover in the Lynden district poul-
try raisers are making more money
than the pea growers, and probably
more than the milk producer, con-
STEERING the r.ount of morey invest
ed. There are not enough chickens
raised around Sumas to supply the
local demand. to say nothing of the
outside demand. Then. too. the poul-
try business is an all-year income pro-
Queer. There is an exceptional OPP
portunity here to buy small tracts
and engage in the poultry business
with a small investment, compared
to other branches Of farming

SPORTING NOTES

The game of football at the Pee
Dee fair between Sumter and Florence
on Friday resulted in the defeat Of
the Game Cocks by the score Of 81
to 6. At the beginning it looked like
q, Came Cock day when Sumter made
the only touchdown recorded against
the Florence eleven in the past two
seasons within four minutes Of play.
Sumter kicked Off to Florence and
then held the Gate City lads Tor
downs causing the ball to be Sunlter,s.
Immediately Sumter scored their onl%
touchdown of the game and the only
one against Florence in two seasons.
Several Of the local boys were forced
out of the game on account of lnJu-
ries and it was against the substitutes
that Florence piled up their five
touchdowns. The local lads are in
hopes OF securing a return game here
in a few days.
The game was witnessed By about
1000 spectators. For the Came Cocks
the playing OF. Ray and Lebby in the
line and Bui1l; in the baciheld We're
best on defense while Wright at enc
y:as best on offense. Rrunson wal
ters and T.. Jones were best for Flor
encc on oifense ard defense.
Florence relied on straight foot
ball for their scoring while Sumter
used the pass frequently.

WOMAN'S MISSION

Night

Thursday was the final day Of the

convention. so far Us tnc delegates
arc concerned. However. several OF
cf the officers of the organization will
remain in the city this morning in an
effort tc complete their work.
The services yesterday afternoon
were we'll attended and was presided
over by Mrs. Baxter HAYS, who also
conducted the devotional exercises.
Several committees Of the organization
made their annual reports, which
were duly received and filed.
After these committees had report
ed the .emainder of the afternoon was
taken up by miscellaneous matters.
such as the election Of delegates to
the Southern Baptist convention, the
passing of resolutions, the appoint
ment of messengers and other mis-
cellaneouS matters.
Last night tie church was we'll fill

teresting address was delivered by
Rev. W. NJ. Whitesides of Spartan
burg.
A very elaborate programme OF mu-
sic was given Tor this occasion and
was greatly enjoyed.
The big feature of the entire con-
yention was the address made by DR..

The convention has been a great
success, due largely to the warm CO.

all over the State, although some de-

THE WONDER
OF THE TIME
Three Bales of Staple Cotton
Sold For S1,425-Comments
By Harris

Columbia, Nov. 5.-"New York cot
ton men say here that there are ten
buyers for every bale Of cotton says
Cotton Oil News. Now, isn't it fun
ny, asks Commissioner Harris, that no
body wanted ioticn at $40 per bale
cheaper on August 1st, and the crop
hasn't changed over 100000 bales
since that time?.
There is less cotton or, cotton
cloth per capita today than Vat any
other period in the history Of the
world-since cotton became world
wide comm odity," says Mr.. Harris
Now, these statements are facts,
and with such condition, why on
earth should the farmer hasten to
Sell when by warehousing his cotton
he can borrow money to carry it until
next, June or July and sit will pay him
greater profit to do this than to huy
fertilizers, pay high priced labor, high
price mules to grow cotton in 1920
under boil weev:l conditions.
Short staple cotton is selling in
many places in this State for 40 cents
and above. Six months from now 40
cents cotton will look as out Of place
as 25 cents would today for the good
grades.
Long staple is selling freely on the
market at SO and SO cents pound.
That being the case, good grades OF
short staple should be bringing 80
cents. There has never been such a
disparity in the prices of the long and
"a farmer carried three bales Of
staple cotton to one Of the markets in
this State and when he went to set
tie, the buyer counted him out ST.
425, and laid~it on the counter. The
farmer looked at it in surprise, as II
he didn't want o-take it. The buyer
said That's your money" The farm
er replied II know it, but only sold
you three bales Of cotton" as much
as to say that was too much mor1e!,
for three .bales Of cotton.
tAil this goes to prove that we've
got a worlds famine in cotton and
that cotton has never sold for it's val
ue.. And I really believe that long
staple cotton will touch 81 a pound
or above-and why shouldn't it?
When it is converted into mercerized
goods, and even into silk and sold
back to the producer at anywhere
from SO to SIS a pound and upwards,
why shouldn't it?
eff the farmers Of the South would
not sell another bale Of cotton fo',
the next 80 days. the buyers would
he going out to the farms, hunting 1t
in their automobiles and would not
say sIIere's what Til give YOU" but
then they would inquire: "Whatil
you take for your cotton ?' Then you
would have tn. pleasure of rigging
UP your old rusty scales and weighing
it on the farm-and he'd be glad to
get it at that.
