HOMES NEEDED.

There seems to be wall through
ont the country over the scarcity OF
the shortage in residential houses Is
more veenly felt than in others IN =
Richmond Va, on September l,which
commonly known in that city as
knowing day. hundreds OF 1amilieS
found themselves without homes
In Kingstree there is shortage
of residences the year round, and on
" this week a gentleman had TO give
up a position here because ne couio
not secure a house for himself and
family to live in. This gentleman
was Mr.. ]. w. Swails, who recently
came here to accept a position as
manager of the Liberty Milling Com
pany's plant. After trying in vain
for two months to secure a nome
here, he rendered his resignation 10
the company and is leaving this week
for Wilmington, N. c., his old home
and thus Kingstree loses a good clti-
zen. Is there remedy for this con-
ditior of affairs?

that parent whose blood is StrongeS'.
When. therefore, two old breeds, Il
Poland China and Berkshire or Jer-
sew and HolStein. are mated there Is
a bitter conflict between bIoodS ana
influences that have required CEN
turies to reach their present state.
In cross breeding the first cross Is
sometimes good, but after that such
breeding is very uncertain, oecauS+
the nature of the offspring VIII de-
pend upon whichever of its breeds
gets the mastery. Moreover, there
Is danger that sometimes the good
blood in each parent will balance that
in the other, which will cause an out
cropping of some bad characters that
had been held in check ever since tne
breeds began. Because OF this un-
certainty of results, cross bred siFe
should never be used nor any cross
bred females kept for breeding eA
cent where a pure bred is at the heao
of the herd. Because breeders uh-
derstand this. a cross bred can never
bring more on the market than 1t l.
worth for meat, and the farmer VINO
breeds such animals loses his chanee
of selling his best product at pure
bred prices. If for no other reason
than this, a farmer should hesitate
to cross breed. Keep in mind cleari!
the difference between a purebred ana
a crossbred. The purebred is the Of
spring of two purebred parents OF the
same breed. The crossbred is the Off
spring of purebred parents of differ
ent breeds. A crossbred can never De
registered, though each of its parents
was a bred champion. If cross breed
ing is inadvisablc, however, grading
is advisable and is recognized as the
Quickest economical way Of building
ND a herd. Grading is the mating
Of purebred with a scrub OF WIN
a grade. Generally the pureoreo
used is the sire, and the scrub or
grade used is the dam. Grading Is
perfectly safe because all the power
is on one side and the results can De
predicted. A purebred Hereford buii
mated with scrub COWS will produce
calves of which more than eighty per
cent. have the marks Of the sire
Such is the power of pure blood over
mixed blood. There is no better way
for the farmer to begin than with
grade COWS anda purebred sire. In
few wears he can make his herd
profitable one and he Will nave
learned how to take care of pureorec
animals.

While in Lexington picnic was
given b. the Farmers Union OF Rock
bridge TO the Farmers Union of Au-
gusta county. 1t was a great event
and after the crowds had eaten, there
we're hundreds OF baskets of choice
victuals still untouched. One thing
they lacked. however, and this they
are entirely unacQuainted with
our famous pine bark fish stew and
barbecued hog and rice
In fields where as a small boy We
played ball or attended circus have
been buit up solid blocks Of magniti-
cent residences, along smooth, we'll
kept streets, bordered with beautiful
NAPLES that have grown up in the
form of huge pinecones.
All alone our course of travel we
could not help noticing the wonderful
progress that has been made in the
last eight or nine years. This thought
struck US at Latta and Dillon. Then
we strike North Carolina and from
the car window it is easy to note the
march of progress from Fayetteville
to Greensboro, and from there on to
the Virginia line there are material
evidences of a new era in the old
Tar Heel State. Arriving at Dan
Vile, Virginia, the largest leaf to-
bacco market in the world, we had
to inquire to make sure that we were
really passing Danville, A large,
new depot and other changes COM
bined in greatly Transforming its ap-
pearance.
At Lynchburg, Virginia, perhaps
the wealthieSt city Of its size in the
South, the home Of vast number
of manufacturing enterprises turning
out variety OF articles ranging from
shoe pegs to locomotives, new depot,
great concrete bridges, viaducts and
skvscrapers loomed before US in the
early morning haze and caused US
again to inquire, "Where are we at.
And so it is a fact that throughout
the length and breadth Of the "Old
Dominion" wave Of unprecedented
progress has covered the State and
in many instances, va
cant, discarded fields into blocks OF
buildings and cow paths into beautl-
ful streets and thoroughfares. We
are back in kingStree now and, after
all. there is no place like home.

Why Cross Breeding is Not Advisable
Farmers sometimes get the mis-
taken idea that cross breeding will
improve their stock. On the contrary
cross breeding has many disadvan-
tages, and farmers are strongly ad-
vised not to attempt it. 1t has at
times been used with success in the
hands of breeders of long experience,
but for the experienced breeder it is
breeding is the mating of two pure
bred animals of lent breeds; 1or
example, a purebred Hereford bull
with a purebred Angus COW. 1t
should be clearly distinguished from
grading, which means the mating OF
a purebred with scrub or an animal
of very little pure blood, and which
can be done with perfect safety and
is urged upon farmers. One OF the
principals upon which livestock breed
ing is based is that like tends to be-
get like. When two purebreds OF
the same breed are mated, we ex
rect the offspring to be like its pa
rents, because there is behind eacl
parent a long line of pure blood
When two purebreds of differen
there at once takes place battle O.
breeds and the offspring will be ik'
