tions of earth who have recently par
ticipated in making the world safe for
democracy against Germau tyranny.
l think the great service that King
Tobacco has rendered in this epoch
making period in the worlds history
should be enough to write it's name
high upon the walls of the halls of
fame. | am one that believes that
God put tobacco upon this earth for
mans solace and for his comfort, and
if we believe in the fact that man
should have these things, we of course
are broad-minded enough to give to-
bacco the place in mans life and in
the worlds history that it belongs.
So much for the little depression from
the real subject.
[ want to call the attention of the
trade to the fact that this years crop
cf tobacco will cost the farmer more
money to grow it than last years
crop cost him, or any crop in the his
tocy of tobacco producing in South
Carolina. With the cost Of labor at
least fifty per cent higher than last
year, land rents, fertilizers and in
fact everything from the plant-bed
un to the housing and curing will be
fifty per cent higher. I am not guess
'N'to va 'oi iii'oiii6 az an ttlil ldEll-
ing myself and am thoroughly famil-
lar with conditions as they exist.
Western hay costs from fifty to fifty
five dollars per ton. Last year was
a poor year for growing hay in east
ern South Carolina, and as a result
most of the farmers, and especially
the small farmer, is buying hay and
twu-dollar corn.
| have ment.o the above facts in
order that the trade may know our
real condition. I believe the COM
panies that buy our product are high
class concerns, made up Of sensible
business men who know that the
farmer cannot grow tobacco without
getting remnuerative price for his
crop. The public has gotteu used to
paying high prices for the manufac-
tured product. What the business
men, Of every walk will want this
year will be the highest, possible price
for the raw material.
Let us hope and pray that when
the companies send representatives to
the South Carolina markets this sum-
mer that they will send along train
loads of money and thus save the
farmer and the good name the tobacco
industry in eastern South Carolina

EEDY HENS ARE GOOD
MOTHERS.

Clemson College.--Tt is not gener-
ally known that the greedy mother
who eats almost all the food thrown
to the baby chicks is doing her best
to prevent the loss nt her brood Just
before a chick is !iatched it absorbs:
the greater part OF the %oik OF the egts..
This yOlk will not De' digestad for a
week or ten days. and if the chick Isl
.overfed it's system becomes ciogged,.
the yolk decays, and tire chick dies.
Many persons raising chickens in
brooders make the fat;li mistake OF
feeding the biddes too much. The
brooder is not greedy hen and it
cannot eat the food and thereby pre-
vent the chicks obtaining more than
they should have to eat:
Place the brooder on sharp sand,
have the temperature one hundred
degrees when the chicks are removed
from the incubator. and do not feed
the chicks the first day. Give them
buttermilk or sour miiR; otherwise
fresh water. A tomato can with a.
hole punched near the open end
should be filled with liquid and in
verted over saucer to prevent the
chicks from becoming wet.
On the second and third Days scat
ter little rolled oats on che sand
floor four or five times daily. On the
fourth day begin alternating rolled
oats with some coarse hominy or com
mercial chick feed The latter Is
preferable because it contains also
mIlet seed and cracked wheat. Scat
ter these on the fine litter to make
the chicks exercise.
On the fifth day provide dry mash
OF equal parts hominy. wheat shorts
| rolled oats, (or ground oats with the
huils removod), wheat bran, siftet
beef scraps, and bright yellow cotton
seed meal. Keep this dry mash be
fore the chicks constantly.
n these suggestions are followed
the baby chicks are likely to pass
through the critical period withou
any rnishap.

Washington, June Am attempt
to make transcontinental flight
from New York city to San Francisco
in less than two days with only one
stop 'en route will be made by the
army air service within the next few
days. A Martin bombing plane will
be used.
The start will be from Mineola,
Long Island, New York. North
Platte, Neb., 1900 miles from New
York, has been selected as the mid
way point. The schedule allows only
16 hours and 80 minutes for the first
lap and the departure from North
Platte is set for $3.50 o'clock on the
following morning. The plane should
land at San Francisco about 5:58
p. m. Officials here believe the trip
should be made easily within the
thirty seven hours and twenty-eight
minutes in the schedule
Capt. Roy N. Francis, flyer of
long experience both in military and
commercial planes, will be in charge
of the flight. He will be accompanied
by Lieut.. Edmund Clune and two or
three mechanics. The plane to be
used is capable of carrying one ton
of freight or from ten to twelve pas
sengers.

| The tobacco stand, as ! see it, is about
eighty per cent Of last years stand in
the hill. Take tl,n StanG nnd the gen
eral condition of the present prospect,
ard / thirk we arc fully twenty per
cent below last years prospect at this
time. This conditions was caused
largely by the fact tnat we had ex-
cessive rains early in the plant-grow-
ing season; and, secondly, most Of the
farmers in tReir eagerness to lie sure
of plenty of plants sowed too many
seed on their beds. This with other
causes produced small, slender plants,
which did not take root we'll. Most
of the farmers have about finished
resetting. Sorne of them setting IS
many as four and five times. This
is unusual for the tobacco grower Of
South Carolina, especially if he has
good plants and the right kind o.
seasons for setting. I have Eeen

ECONOMIC HOG
PROD U c TION
Plant Grazing Crops and Feed
Heavily at ALI Times.

Clemson College.-'tThe market hog
that sees his first birthday usually
loses money for the owner" This
statement is made by d. w. Williams,
livestock specialist of the Extension
Service, in discussing profitable hog
production in South Carolina. This
means that the hog must go to the
slaughter at eight to ten motnhs OF
age, weighing two hundred pounds.
rms is not an unusual weight for
hogs at eight months Recently one
FEEDER averaged over two hundred on
twelve head at five months. To make
profits from hogs it is necessary to
reed heavy at all times. A starving
process is a losing one in growing
hogs.
The hog raisers problem, therefore.
IS How can | make the most hog, in
the least time at the lowest cost?"
Plenty or feed provided ahead Of time
ls the solution. Pigs farrOwed in Jan
uary and February should be ready
for the October and November mar
kets.
Start now and provide the feeds
that will be needed this fall We can
raising hogs in dry lot on corn and
purchased supplementary feeds such
as shorts and tankage. While these
are always necessary to make the best
gains, we must use forage crops just
as much as possible. With the wide
use Of forage crops cheaper pork can
be produced in South Carolina than In
the corn belt.
BE sure to plant some supplement.
ary feed crop with your corn. Cow
peas. soy beans. and velvet beans all
furnish good grazing for hogs. In
the fall let the hogs do the. harvest
ing and you will find but very little
wasted. Let the hogs you are going
to market gather most Of the feed:
then when it gets so scarce that they
must cover great deal Of ground in
getting enough to eat, remove them
cleaning up the field
small patch Of sweet potatoes will
furnish much succulent feed. which
with grain ration will make very
satisfactory gains.
Every farmer. whether or not he
raise hogs. should have some alfalfa,
1t pays handsomely where it Is
grown. AS forage crop for hogs ie
is unexcelled.
1t Is questionable whether 1t Is ad-
visable to plant very many peanuts for
hogs this fall. says Mr.. Williams
While hogs make very cheap and
rapid gains on this crop. the carcasses
are greatly Disseminated against on
the market Soft drippy pork is not
desirable. South Carolina is now
producing hogs that sell to better ad-
v" tage than those from other South
crn States, because these hogs kill |
hard as a rule. 1t is to our advantage |
to continue m"rketing a superior prod |
uct which sells well t0G"~d the top Of |
the market rather than TO get rep |
utation for SOFT hogs and take cut !!
in price which is often three or four ,
cents per pound.
Hogs will be marketed this fall in !
carload lots from practically every :
county. Aim to provide a few surplus |
hogs for these shipments to help es-
fabIish a hog arket in this state. BE
sure to kill enough to essure your
home supply Of meat; then market |
the surplus In the future Of diversi-
fed farming in South Carolina the
hog Is one Of the most promising fac
tors.
