There has been some objection Of

that. None Of the $4,000 fund goes to |
the national organization Besides this |
fund the committee is asking for 5000 /
associate membership pledges in the
local and national organization The
double membership costs 50. OF this |
amount - goes to the work OF the |

that amount goes 90 the national cOun-
ell So that if 100000 were raised
here the total sum that would go 10
the national council could not exceed
$1,000 even if an the associate mem
bership pledges were taken. And what |
sum does go 10 the national council |
is for the extension Of the Boy Scout |

the committee thinks.

Drive a Success

The campaign for the eradication Of
scrub sires in Sumter county was de-
clared by the experts from the State
College of Agriculture, who conducted
it last week to have been complete
success. Although pure bred stock
was already found on most farms,
some ground for educational work
was discovered 1t was stated today
by County Agent Marshall that all of
the scrub hog sires in the county ex-
cept 10 had been disposed of last
week, and that the owners of nine of
these ten promised to replace their
stock with purebreds. Six purebred
animals were placed during the week.
Little was done in the replacing of
scrub cattle, but w. H. Howell, dairy
expert, who was here last week, ar
ranged to return in two weeks to un-
dertake the organization of several
community bull clubs, where the SEN
timent was found favorable. County
Agent Marshall asks that all interest

him as soon as possible, so that Mr..
Howell may have all the names in
hand when he returns.
