TOBACCO MEETING HERE.
Will Be Held on Friday, November
2S.-Experts Will Speak.

At various points where there is
some interest in tobacco growing
meetings will be held and experts on
tobacco culture will give talks and ad-
wise in the methods of handling the
crop to those who are interested in
growing it this next season In many
sections where tobacco is a new crop
it has proven a failure because those
growing it were not familiar with
the proper methods of growing and
curing. One important thing in new
tobacco growing sections is that the
growers have the services of some
competent and experienced tobacco
grower to give personal supervision
of each field. Experts of the devel-
opment service of the Southern rail
way and the agricultural extension
forces of Clemson college, co-opera-
ting, will make talks on the subject
at these meetings.
Meetings are to be held at the fol-
lowing places: Tuesday, November
25, at Batesburg 10:30 a. M, and
Ridge Spring 200 p. m; Wednes-
day, November 26, at Johnston 1890
a. m. and Trenton 200 p. M; Thurs
day, November 27, at Williston 1890
a. m, and Blackville 200 p. M; Fri
day, November %, at Bamberg 1920
a. M, and Branchvllle 200 p. m.
1t has been demonstrated in South
Carolina that good light tobacco can
be grown and sold at good prices
The average 'one-horse farmer. in
some bright tobacco districts is max.
ing $4,000 to $4,000 worth of to.
bacco in addition to his regular crops
of corn and cotton. America is now
exporting to China as many cigarettes
as were manufactured in the United
States ten years ago. Every man in
this section interested in growing to-
bacco should attend one Of thees
meetings.

tentative constitution with the Sc
lection of the name "American Le-
gion.'' The action of the pioneers Of

dorsed by a similar meeting held in
St. Louis May s to 10, 1919, when
the Legion was formally recognized
by the troops who served in the Uni
ted States and constitution in con-
formity with the first one was &C
cepted. The first national conven-
tion was held in Minneapolis, Minn.,
on November 10, II, and 12. These
dates were selected to celebrate the

and more than twenty thousand del
'egates were present.

American Legion was organized in
July. Mr.. Julius H. Walker, of Co.
lumbia, was elected State comman-
der. All State officers and commit
tees were elected at this time. The
executive committee Immediately ap-
pointed organizers in every county,
and Mr.. E. H. Henderson, of Bam-
berg, was appointed organizer for
this county, and he very easily Sc
cured the requisite number of charter
members. These members met in
Mr.. Henderson's office last Friday
and completed the organization fol-
the Bamberg county post.

COTTON 40 CENTS AT COPE.
One Hundred and Eight Bales Sold al
This Price.

Cope, Nov. 16.-The first killing
frost of the season appeared yester-
day morning and there was some ice
in hog troughs and other exposed
places.
One hundred and eight bales of
cotton were sold at this market yes
terday for 40 cents a pound, by
Messrs. H. N. Antley, N. G. Thomas,
J. C. Hayden, J. D. Thomas and c. E.
Antley and was bought by B. B.
Williams & Son, of Norway. This
above cotton was not the best grade,
but it was the best price ever realized
on this local market.
Cotton seed is selling at S95 ton,
but on account of the car shortage
the warehouseahere are full and sew
eral large farmers are waiting until
the local buyers get cars and empty
their warehouses.
The gins are running on short time
there being very little more of the
staple in the fields and practically
none picked out.
There is talk of a peanut factory
being erected at this place before
another season, which goes to show
that the farmers are not going to
depend on cotton alone, now that the
boil weevil is here.

Good Farm. Records.

Sugar cane nine feet in height, a
potato that weighs nine and quar-
ter pounds, and 64 bushels of corn
from one acre are some of the rec
ords made on the plantations Of Mes
srs. G. Frank HERS and his son E. L.
HERS, of the Ehrhardt section. The
mammoth potato is from the patch
of Mr.. E. l.. HERS, while the elder
Mr.. HERS produced the fine cane
and made the splendid yield of corn.
They both farm right together. Both
the potato and the sugar cane crops
are fine, and will net good profit
to these progressive farmers.
The yield of corn Mr.. G. Frank
HERS made is very interesting. The
yield was, to be exact about it, 64
bushels, one peck and four quarts
Corn is worth 81 a bushel, and the
corn from this acre is worth, there
fore, s12S. In addition to the corn,
approximately 900 pounds of fodder
was pulled from the acre, and the
value of the fodder is about SIS. Sev-
en- bushels of peas were picked from
the same patch, the value Of which is
about S21, making a total of S177
from this one acre, which is pretty
good revenue, when the cost of grow
ing these crops is considerd.
With plenty Of potatoes, peas, corn
and syrup, the boil weevil, we pre-
dict, will not seriously alarm the
Messrs. HERS.
