The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1920-05-12

Mr.. j. H. Touchbelry near Manning
IS getting start with hogs. He
has FENCED in and planted a half acre
OF rape and has fine stand. Mr..
Iouchberry prefers the Poland China
hogs and now has five registered gifts.
, He also set out several acres of Ber-
muda grass last February which is
growing nicely. We need more hogs
to beat the boil weevil.
b. Walker Holiday has already
started his campaign against the boil
weevil. He planted about five acres
of peanuts and he has an excellent
stand: He has already had the weed
er going and the crop is showing up
fine, and as yet grass has given him
no trouble. Mr.. Holiday has lust
purchased some wire fencing with
which he will fence in n piece of his
best land and start Bermuda pas
ture, That is the right thing to do
for it is poor business to fence in a
swamp and few briars and call it a
pasture. Fencing will not make anv
swamp or briar patch pasture, it
takes good land and work to make
good pastures, they don't just happen.
Mr.. ]. R. Eadon is painting things
red around his place. possibly he has
become Bolshevik but I don't think
40 for what he is doing is simply good
business. And that is painting his
buildings. He is painting his. stables,
tobacco barns and tennant houses.
Painted buildings are fine ADVERTISE
ment for farm and farmer. They
increase the price of the farm. they
lost longer and also tells all who see
them that a business-like farmer is
living there. We need more paint to
make orr county look more prosper
Gus and business-like.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. Med. McFaddin en-
tnrtained Mr.. e. R. Root of Cleveland, :,
Ohio. at their home one dav last week.
Mr.. Root is son Of A. I. Root. the
man who understands and knows
bees better than any other man in the
work. and who PIT the bee business
on the map in United States. Mr..
Root is lust finishing n tour of the
United States. He has visited almost
every state in the Union. investigat-
ing every part Of the country that is
likely to prove good bee country
ond upon comnletion Of his tour of
this country will also investigate like
conditions throughout Europe and
hsia "nd Africa. Mr.. Root says that
Mr.. Warner. who hos large number
Of colonies on the J. Med. McFaddin
nlace. has some of the best queens he
has ever seen.
Mrs. Carrie Bragdon near Manning
knows how and makes very fine but
ter. | know. for I tasted about a
nonnd of it and it is as good as the
hest creamery buttor YOU can buv. Tho
butter hos rich yellow color although
no coiorinp matter is used and is
workc" and seasoned inst rioht. But
tcr-makinG seems to have become n
lost art on too MANY farms. Too
manv farmers depend on the creamery

Mr.. IT. II McFaddin Of Gable has
one of the two best crops of oats I
have seen in the county this sprinr.
Mr. J. VI. Tou"hhnrrv hos tl,o other.
Both men planted the Fulghum
variety, I think and they have fine
"ron. Th" straw has good length, the

In the corridor of the Home Bank
Trust Company and in the County
Agents Office you will now find pic
lures of the ideal type Of hogs. These
are actual photographs of live hogs
and not fancy pictures some artist has
drawn. By looking Mt these pictures
Won can fix in your mind the ideal hog
which you want to grow. Until you
do get such an ideal or model fixed in
yorr mind you will not grow any bet
trr hogs than YOU do now. The type
Of hoes shown in these pictures is the
type the trade now wants and if you
want to sell large number of hogs
at good profit you must have the
tvpe the trade demands.
