Mrs. F. P. Erwin was another of
Clarendon's prize takers at the State
Fair. She took first and second prize
on Barred Rock chickens, first prize
on doe and litter Of Belgian hares,
and first prize on pecans. Talking
about pecans you should see the fine
ones Mrs. Erwin grows. Three of
them makes handful and are so thin
shelled to be easily broken with the
fingers. They are the kind that COM
mand good price and are always in
demand because it don't take cold
chisel or squirrel to crack them.
Plant some pecans on your own farm,
they will furnish you some pocket
money, give you all the nuts you want
yourself and the boil weevil can't eat
them.

lnoculated IL head of hogs for Mr..
j. r. Griffin at Pinewood this week.
Since May of tkis year have inocu-
lated nearly two thousand hogs in this
county. This use Of serum to prevent
hog cholera is a wonderful thing for
hog raisers and farmers and saves
millions of dollars worth of meat
every year. However, there is still
some rumors floating around that this
serum treatment kills the hogs. If
anyone still thinks that I wish you
would go down to Davis Cross RoaGs
and ask any Of the farmers in that
section whether it killed their hogs.
Ihey Will have very convincing
story to tell YOU.

On exhibit at the State fair attract
ed great numbers of people, especial
~ those f rom boil wcevil counties. 1t
was in the Cotton booth Two stalks
of cotton we're exhibited. Great large
stalks with long, stout branches. but
they didn't have a singel boil on them.
The man from whose farm those cot
ton stalks came made 1850 pounds Of
seed cotton per acre in 1918, while this
year he made just 1Gs pounds per
acre. Some difference isn't it? That
man refused tc believe the boil wcevil
would 40 any damage in his section.
Ihat belief cost him $25,000 He lost
that much on his cotton. The same
thing will happen in Clarendon unless
the cotton acreage is reduced and
some other crop grown IN its place.

DOINGS OF OUR

You ought to have been at the
Pinewood Community Fair. Every
body near Pinewood was there and all
had good time and became better
acquainted with their neighbors and
also found some things were being
grown in their community they did
not know of before. They even had a
watermelon on exhibition that had
just been pulled from the vine the
morning Of the fair. There were
splendid farm exhibits which shows
that the Pinewood people raise some
things besides cotton and corn. They
are also thinking seriously about the
boil weevil and are getting ready for
him.

10. Feed wcll-balanced rations.
Corn is rich in carbohydrates, but
poor in p rotcin. Alfalfa, lover hay
soy beans, tankagc oil meal cottonsced

protein.
II. Provide good shelter, dry bed

Mr.. w. R. Davis Of Silver has
already started to fight the boil
weevil. dor know whether he had
8 that in mind when he planted his
crops last spring or not, but anyway
he planted a lot of corn and velvet
beans, They grew up and made SO
bushels of corn per acre and oodles of
velvet beans. This fall after pulling
his corn he bought Is head of Here
ford cattle and is now pasturing them
in his bean fields. That is mighty
good farm practice and is good busi-
ness; also an excellent way Of fight
ing the boil weevil. Every farmer in
the county should have some velvet
beans on his farm every year.

sweet, or alkaline, the nuts will turn
out to be pops" Lime is the only
thing that will make SOIL sweet or al
kallne. Pure ground limestone is the
best form in which to apply the lime
and it should be applied in at least
one ton per acre, and two OF three tons
would be better. The lime will then
give you nuts in the pods and will
also benefit every other crop you grow
on that land, which makes it very
good investment.

sum- as it is sometimes called. It's
chemical name is Calcium Sulphate
and it will NOT CORRECT ONE
OUNCE OF SOIL ACIDITY. In
stead II calcium sulphate or land
plaster is used repeatedly it will make
a soil acid instead of alkaline, which
Is Just the opposite of what the far
mer is trying to bring about. When
land plaster is put in the soil the
calcium is taken out and the sulphu-
ric acid is set free and it will then
take an application OF limestone to
counteract the effects of the land
plaster. The only place it will paw
formers to use land plaster is to an
ply 1t to stable manure, where it will
combine with the ammonia and keen
1t from escaping into the air, and even
then it would pay better to use acid
phosphate. for each ton Of acid phos-
phate contains several hundred pounds
OF calcium sulDhate. When you want
to correct soil acidity apply pure
ground limestone. Don't huy some

Great Success Coon Hunting

Clanahan, the two great coon
hunters of this place, report sig-
nal success in their industry.
Saturday night they captured two
fat coons. One they got by fell
ing a tree and the other by camp
ing beneath the tree and waiting
for daylight. Their captures
were made in the wilds of Pryor
Cove where most excellent
mast has rendered the coon a
corpulent parsonage. To add
aroma to their captures they
caught a specimen of "Mephitis

falling to bring in a specimen.

and his dogs know how to track
and tree the coon.

PRYOR HOSIERY MILLS
TO BEGIN OPERATIONS

Jasper, Nov. 20. The Pryor
Hosiery Mills will begin opera
tions in about two weeks with
force of 40employes. a consider
able number of whom are trained
workers. w. L. Goodwin, who
is superintendent of the plant,
has been in charge for the past
three weeks, and a large number
of machines have been installed
and other arrangements made.
The establishment of the plant
is due to the interchangeable zeal
of MIR. A. r. Pryor, after whom
the concern is named. In spite
of almost unsurmountable OBJ
stacles he pushed it on to success
and now is ready for business.
Associated with him are large
number of representative citizens
of Jasper who were desirous to
create something for the better
ment of their town. The plant is
solidly backed, so much so, that
when asked recently how many
employees could be utilized Mr..
Pryor said, AS many as can be
got. When asked to explain
this rather enigmatical reply he
said that so abundant was the
capital that could be obtained for
the enterprise that it was meas
ured only by the number of EN-
ployes that could be secured, and
that it would be doubled, trebled
or even quadrupled if employees
could be secured. This position
assumed by the Pryor Hosiery
Mills company will mean "a great
deal to the town and result in it's
doubling its size in a very short
time for the demand for houses
and lots will be Unprecedented.

One season tenants can grow only
one season crops; one season crops
are mostly cultivated crops; contlnu-
Gus tillage reduces soil fertility. There
can be nc good farming on tenant
farms until the lease is length
ened, so that the tenant may SOW
non-cultivated, long-lived crops; they
hold it and improve it. While these
crops are holding the soil they are
also holding the tenant. If he sows a
pasture he is likely to want to remain
to use it if lie lines the soil and
grows clover, ne would like to get the
benefit of the increase i'll yield of the
cotton or the corn following the clo-
yer.
But, there is another side: he can
not be eXpected to sow pastures, lime
the land, and grow clover, unless he
knows one of two things; either that
he ran stay to get the benefit or that
he will be paid for his unused share.
For instance: lining lasts at least five
years, and only one-tifth of the total
benefit comes the first year. If the
owner furnishes the limestone, if the
tenant hauls and scatters it, then the
tenant has an interest in the limestone
thruout the period of five years to
the full amount Of his labor. If one
crop is harvested off the lined land
and he leaves, lie should be paid four
ffths Of the cost of hauling and scat
tering the lime If he stays two years
he should be paid three-ffths when he
leaves. The same is true of other per-
manent improvements, such as build
ing fences, terrucing the land or even
hauling manure, turning under crops,
etc
Be sure that your contract covers
these points. Let the tenant know that
he is expected to improve the farm,
but that he may stay on the farm long
enough to reap the benefit and thar
III case anything unforeseen arises to
end the contract, he is to be paid for
permanent improvements less the BEN
eft he has derived.
Lay out good crop rotation for the
farm and agree to carry it out as near
ly as possible Plan for some livestock
and let the tenant have an interest in
it. Make the home and surroundings
as comfortable as possible; good ten
ants live in good houses. Tenants
should also remember that good farms
and good landlords deserve good ten
ants, and can get them in the end

November and December are months
when many rental contracts are ended
and new ones made. No contract, how
ever well worded, can take the place OF
the Golden Rule" in dealings between
landlord and tenant. Honesty and fair
dealing on both sides are the only safe
guides. Generosity is usually proita-
BILE. AZ good written contract should
he made to supplement the Golden
Rule" and not to be substituted for it.
1t helps two men TO keep their agree
ments, but does not necessarily force
them. 1t prevents MISUNDERSTANDING,
where they otherwise might arise.
A good contract insures the landlord
a fair return on his investment and
the tenant good living in return for
his labor, and what is equally impor-
tant, it insureS the soil against i'll
treatment Tenancy iii itself is not al
ways bad thing. Most of our best
farmers once were tenants early in
The game; to them tenancy was a step
to ownership. 1t would he n safe bet
that the best farmers, of today were
the best tenants in earlier years.
While @hey were making money for
themselves they made money for the
landlord. Records show that the great
er the income of the tenant. the great
er also the profit Of the land owner.
There is also direct relationship be-
tween the profit of both parties and
the length OF time the tenant stays ON
Il single farm. In one survey of tliiS
point, tenants who remained only two
years on the same farm made IN ill
come of S357 those who reRnined
six years made an average $291S.
Where the tenants profit ranges from
500 to $500 the owner only re-
ceived 10 on his investment; where
the tenants profit ranged above
$1,000 the owner made 21% on his
investment. The larger income and
interest rates, which go with farms
and tenants who stay together, are due
TO soil improvement and increased
Yields. These are not possible under
one season leases.
