DOINGS OF SOME .1..
OF OUR FARMERS

Judd Plowden of Summerton has set
an example for all of our Clarendon
farmers. He raises all mis- pork, beef,
eggs, chickens, milk, butter, lard,
vegetables, ETC., that is consumed on
the farm. In other words he lives and
eats at home. He don't depend on tin
cans or live out Of grocery store.
The last ten years Mr.. Plowden has
bought no meat, flour OF lard, eggs,
chickens, milk or butter. Can you
say the same thing? The one thing
that will do more to make you pros
porous, happy and contensed is to raise
your living on your own farm. Then
when you sell your coston you can
put your money in the bank and not
have to give your WHOLE years cotton
crop to the storekeeper. It's bad bust
ness for a farmer to depend on a
grocery store for his living. Think it
over and ask Mr.. Plowden how he
does it.

partment of Agriculture is big
thing and reaches in every nook and
corner of the country. Why not let
it work for you? In Georgia the
experience of the cotton planters has
been that they made almost as much
money from an acre of peanuts as
from an acre of cotton and it took
them only one-third the time to make
the peanut crop, giving them time to
grow at least one other crop on the
same land that year. We have thou
sands of acres of land adapted to
peanut growing in Clarendon. Inves-
tigate for yourself and find what you
can do with peanuts.
