A SUCCESSFUL oHAuTAuQuA

The Standard Chautauqua course
with which Glenwoodites and nearby
neighbors are being entertained this
week is quite successful affair, both
in the line of entertainment and also
from the financial viewpoint, this be-
ing the first year the undertaking has
paid its way.
Thus far in the program the numbers
have been very satisfactory, and we
are promised an equally good program
to the end.

Come varied voices Of eighty years.
We hear them gaily. glcefully sing
| In bird tones OF the sunny spring,
When childhood has only childish
And sees bu, the smiles that nature
wears
When the world is new to the eager

And the feet are feet, and the heart Is
light.
We hear the concert Of happy notes
When youth in crystal cloud castles
floats,
And trusts in the promise Of coming

While treading lightly LIES present

When Love and Hope are companions

And the Angel Of Happiness is near.
We hear the sober songs that rise
lin heavier notes to the duller skies
When pressing tasks leave little time
To stop and join in the Ioy-beiis
chime,
When weeks and months slip into the
years
Sometimes through the rain of falling
tears.
We hear again the sweet~harmony
or voices near that we know must be
More blest than all because they have
come
More close to the Jewelled Gates OF
Home,
The heart hymns of a long-chastcned
life
That conquerer comes from the stress
and strife.
Through varied voices Of fourscore

The ear that listens intently hears
Another Voice that is sweetest OF all

OF INTEREST TO FARMERS.
Edited by T. NJ. Cathcart

With the coming of frost the boil
weevif has gone into winter quarters.
He will hide under brush, grass, cot
ton stalks, in cotton bolls that are
partly cracked, in fence corners and
in edges of woods near the cotton
fields. Knowing that he has these
habits, what should we do? Are we
going to sit idle and let him sleep in
peace this winter? This is a question
that every farmer will have to decide
for himself. Ali cotton land should be
broken up with two horse plows as
soon as possible and all stalks cover
ed up. This will kill thousands that
probably would live through the win
ter and be ready for work early next
spring. All ditch banks and terraces,
straw fields, etc., should be burned off
thus killing many weevils. All fence
rows should be cleaned off as this is
another hiding place for them.
When the weather begins to warm
up in early spring the weevil will
leave their winter quarters, fly
straight up in the air and which ever

Heretofore The County Record has
observed only one holiday-that of
Christmas Day. We are not prepar-
ed to say whether this practice has
been maintained in the past as a
business principle or merely from
having fallen into an old rut and un-
able to extricate itself. Let this be
as it may, we are, beginning with to-
day, adopting a new policy, that OF
closing down our plant and giving
the employees an opportunity to enjoy
Thanksgiving Day outside OF IT'S
walls, in hunting, fishing, frolicklng,
or praying as they may severafly
elect. At any rate The Record feels
that it has a great deal to be thank
full for and that the day, November
27, A. D. 1919, was set aside for its
force as much so as for other and it
intends to take it. This issue of the
paper was printed yesterday hence
the office is closed today. So
for the time, tell your troubles to the
fellow who is still in the old rut and
not trying to get out.

1t is earnestly hoped that the Will
liamsburg delegation and others inter-
ested will arrange to. meet with the
delegations from sister counties in the
Pee Dee section between now and the
time of meeting of the Genral AS
smbly in January. The object of the
meeting is to consider and if possi-
Bile reach some definite conclusion on
the Santee bridge question. Williams
burg, Dillon, Florence, Darlington and
others we understand are unalterably
in favor of bridge at Murray's Fer
ry. and from a casual glance at the
map it will readily be seen that this
is the logical place for it to span the
river, as it is on a direct line from
Charleston through Berkeley and on
through the Pee Dee section, offering
as it does its great benefits to a
larger number of people. 1t is propos-
ed that the county delegation meet
in Florence to consider this very I'M
portant matter before the end of the
year.

MUST CHANGE TACTICS

The County Record heartily in
dorses the movement inaugurated
here last week under the auspices Of
the South Carolina Land Owners AS
sociation, directed towards improved
marketing facilities for the products
of our farmers and for the erection
of a large potato curing house at
Kingstree, etc.
Now that we have with US, and
will continue to have with us in more
virulent form from year to year for
some time TO come, the boil weevil it
is a foregone conclusion that our peo-
pie, especially the farmers, must re-
sort at once to combative measures
in order to save themselves, many Of
them who seem to know nothing but
cotton, from absolute ruin. The
quicker such measures are adopted
and put on foot the better it will be
for them.
From the experiences of other sec
tions and other states where the
weevil has made himself known we
cannot afford to trrow out our chest
in a defiant manner and vouchSafe
the impression that "the weevil wont
hurt me" He'll fool you as sure as
satan unless you change your farm
ing tactics and head him off.
We don't think Mr.. Weevil ever
stuck his beak into county better
able to combat him than Williamsburg
b right now. Our farmers have been
3 sperous for the past
and are in good shape
They can well afford to
ON cotton to large eX-
devote their time and means
pursuits.
iready know how to grow to-
successfully, which is fine
y crop; no section can beat US
ing sweet potatoes; our sandy
is especially suited to peanut
Ilture, and no state outside of the
bluegrass region is better adapted to
the raising of hogs, cattle, sheep and
goats, all soil builders and bank ac-
count increasers if properly handled.
Now is the time to turn yourattention
in this direction, Mr. Farmer, and we
believe there is no better way than
by cooperating in every possible way
with the South Carolina Land Own
ers Association whose business it is
to assist you in the proper methods
of production handling, marketing,
etc., of such crops and commodities
as will put the weevil to flight and
money in your pockets. GET BUSY.

COST OF RAISING
ME. SWEET CORN

OYono, Me-, Eec. 24-When the
Maine producers and packers of
sweet corn were engaged. last spring,
in a controversy over tic question of
what price per pound for cut corn
should be paid at the canning fac
tories, the State Corn Growers Asso-
citation requested the University of
Maine agricultural extension service
to secure data on the cost of grow
ing sweet corn in Maine.
Maurice ID. Jones, farm manage
ment demonstrator. was assigned to
the task. He has just submitted a
report that contains information Of
general interest and should be help
full to the growers and packers in set
tlement of their price problem.
Through the efforts of the Farm
Bureaus and county agents many
farmers in the corn belt were induced
TO keep accurate records, ami from
these records and replies to ques
j tionnaire the data has been com :
piled. The information was received
from 81 farms. All of the counties
in which sweet corn is raised for
factories are represented except Ok
ford and York, in which there were
Daily Kennebec journal., 1919-12-25

no Farm Bureaus when the records
were being kept.
The analysis shows that the cost
per acre of raising sweet corr On 2oS
acres was s11456. Allowing . credit
of s12.s3 per acre for fodder, lett a
net cost of $101.63. The total pFoduc-
ton of cut corn raised on the 209
acres was 275S pounds: net cost OF
production per pound, 8 6SL100 cents.
But these figures were based On the
1919 crop. and the 1919 season was
exceptionally good for sweet corn.
The seed ran unusually well, there
were practically no early falf frosts
to shorten the growth, and except in
two counties there was a gooI
amount Of moisture, along with the
warm weather.
The average yield per acre of cut
corn in the last five years, accord
ing to available records. did not ex-
ceed 1000 pounds, while the figures
of this year show an average consid-
l'erably in excess of that amount. Mr..
Jones deduction is that, considering
average yields and costs, there il no
profit for the Maine farmer IN rails
! ing sweet corn for the factories at
less than five cents per pound.
In reckoning the cost, the following
items were included, based on aver
ages compiled from the records of 81
growers: rent of land, 1922; use OF
machinery, A.14: interest on invest
ment, $1.91; fertilizer used, GIG
pounds. $1S.27; manure used. 1872
tons. s25.S3; horse labor, at II cents
per hour, 1858; man labor, 1927
hours at 81 cents per hour. $3.50;
seed and other costs, s3.25.
Mr.. Jones says the records show
it pays to plant sweet corn before
June L.. The average yield Of all
corn planted before May "a was S0sa
pounds per acre; between May "a
and June !. 'S233 pounds; between
June 1 and June 10. 244l pounds; after
June 10, 1892 pounds.
