The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1920-04-21

many inquiries Will pc made for pure
bred and grade Guernseys followed by
many orders for same, and if a farm
er has one or two purcbred heifers to
sell each year it will bring him quite
nice little roll. Mr.. Lancaster who
was here last week now has orders to
purchase four carloads of grade
Guernsey cows and will have to 20 to
Virginia, Maryland or PENNSYLVANIA
to get them. Here is chance for
Clarendon breeders to get some of this
trade.
A meeting was held at the Trinity
school house last Wednesday by inter
ested farmers of that section for the
purpose of organizing a block in the
bull association. Almost all the stock
was subscribed that evening and
enough prospects are in view to get
up all the stock without any trouble.
That means one purebred Guernsey
bull will be put in Trinity section.
A like meeting was held in the
school house at Sardinia last Thurs
day evening. About thirty men and
boys were present. A block was or
ganzed at once and w. N. Rush was
selected as the best man to keep the
bull. j. f. Cousar was elected the
director
Last Friday evening another bull
ASSOCIATION meeting was held at Du-
Rants school house. All present sub
scribed stock and enough men are in
view to take all the stock which will
assure a good bull in this section.
The farmers in the Davis Cross
roads section care also very much in
favor of bull association. A meeting
Will be held some evening next week
to organize a block and elect bull
keeper and director. If possible the
county organization should be COM
pletcd by May 1st.
A Guernsey bull will also be placed
in the Davis Station ncighborhood, for
j. Ebert Davis who is putting in a
dairy must have good bull and
several farmers from that section to
whom | have talked are very much in
favor of a bull association, as Is Mr..
Davis.
Another block of the bull associa-
ton should, be organized at Manning
Tor tN2rc are fifty or ns5rc COWS with
IN radius of two and onc-half miles.
Many of these COWS are fine grades
and some Of them purcbrcds and thcv
should certainly be bred to good bulls.
In these days feeding Il scrub COW
with high priced feed IS a losing pro-
position, and as you can't get cheap
feed get purebrcd cows. You can do
that.
}. Y. Carrigan who lives at Davis
Cross Roads has two purebrcd JERSEY
COWS, number of purebrcd Duroc
hogs and purcbred Rhode Island
White and White Lcghom chickens.
You can easily see that Mr.. Carrigan
believes in purebrcd stock and if YOU
Will ask him he will tell you that there
IS more profit in them than in scrubs.
More Clarendon farmers should be-
come purcbred believers.
{. A. Harvin of Davis Cross Roads
mas commenced to raise beef cattle. He
started by first sowing field with
Bermuda grass, Red top and Lcspcde-
IA. Several days ago when was down
thcre these grasses were coming up
thlck and gives promise Of a fine pas
ture. Mr.. lIarvin has some land fcnc
ed and plans to fence more this wear.
lie IS starting right. Too many men
go out and buy good stock without
any thought Of pasture and other feed
for them and the result is that on
Scant feed the stock naturally get thin
instead of fat and then the man gets
dlsgusted and tells the world there is
nothing in good grades or purcbrcd
cattle, that he'll raise scrubs every
time. If when farmer starts into
something new, he will go over the
project with thought and care and
with a dash of common sense for
seasoning he is pretty apt to come out
ahead of the game. Pretty apt.
