The Daily Mail made an effort to
ascertain some of the facts at the
bottom of this movement, and in do
ing so, secured the following article
from General NJ. L. Bonham:
81 am distressed to hear that
Greenville is casting coveteous eyes
upon our fair land of Brushy Creek.
/ don't believe that many of the peo-
pic of that section desire to make
this change. We of Anderson, are
just now preparing to build good
roads, which will put every part of
the county in close touch with the
county seat. 1t is not true that the
Brushy Creek folks never come to
Anderson except to pay taxes. They
come because they are interested in
many firms of business here; be-
cause they have innumerable kindred
and friends here; because the history
and traditions of their families for
generations are bound up with the
county of Anderson, and they come
because they know they are welcome,
that they are we'll treated, and the
bankers, merchants, lawyers, all the
business men of the town like to do
business with them and to see them
I venture the suggestion that this
movement is being engineered by
somebody who has an ak to grind,
and that it has not been seriously
considered By the conservative ele-
ment of the people of Bruchy Creek
who have most at stake.
"Anderson does not want to give
up Brushy. Creek and wont do it
without a fight to the finish. Of
course we recognize that if the ma
jority of the Brushy Creek folks
want to 60 to Greenville they ought
to have the right to go without any
interference on our part. But first,
they ought to be given free, fair and
unbiased opportunity to hear and de-
termine the issues for themselves"

COTTON OWNERS TO

COTTON FOR EXPORT

Columbia, Jan. 1E.-ownera of
low grade cotton have been called
to meet next Wednesday at their re-
spective county seats by President
R. M. Mixson of the South Carolina
Cotton Association. At these meet

called upon to pledge every bale for
export shipment.
"President Mixson today address,

are asking for something unusual in
requiring an option on this cotton
also in asking for twenty per cent de-

"The officers of the American

these foreign mills the option
sought to enable them to perfect
their arrangements for handling a

EXERCISE QUITE IMPORTANT
Close Confinement During Winter
Months Is Not Conducive to
Profitable Results.

During the spring season fowls hay
ing free range get abundant exercise,
but during the cold months man. hens
suffer from lack of exercise. Close
confinement without exercise Is not
conducive to getting the best results
from a flock, although the feed pro-
vided may be the best, for idle hens
oon grow too fat to lay. II is al
most impossible to give laying hens
that are confined too much exercise.
The fowls may be encouraged to ex-
ercise in various ways, such as sus-
pending cabbage heads, beets, etc, so
that the birds have to jump for them,
and scattering grain In the litter. The
litter should be from four to eight
inches deep and may consist of straw
(either cut Or whole), hay, leaves,
buckwheat hulls, shredded corn fodder,
or any like convenient material. The
hens should be kept hungry enough
so that they Will work diligently all
day for the corn scattered in this lit
ter, say poultry specialists Of the

ture. Whenever the litter becomes

SALT ESSENTIAL IN RATION
Material May Be. Supplied by Mixing
With Feed, or It May Be Left In
Convenient Box.

Practical observations and scientific
Investigations have shown that salt
is essential in the ration of a dairy
COW. From n to three ounces per
day is needed. depending upon the
mount of milk produced. Accord
ing to Babcock's Investigations at the
Wisconsin experiment station, a COW
needs one ounce per day per 1000
pounds live weight with an additional
Clio of an ounce for each 20 pounds
of milk produced. Salt may be up
piled by mixing the proper amount
with the feed, or It may be placed in
some convenient place where the COW
can get at 1t daily and take such
amounts as her appetite demands.
Many dairymen prefer to place a lump
of rock salt where the COW can lick
1t at will. This is really cheaper and
there Is less work. But. however you
feed IT, don't forget that the cows
must have it-not once every week
or two, but at least each second day
and each day is better.

should be kept dry, clean. well venti-

surface and adding fresh SAND or
gravel. or by digging over the land

or dipping in a solution, the latter
method being preferable. The nests or

the nesting material removed when
ever dirty, care being taken not to

DAIRY
FACTS

"soarder" Should Be Discarded Forth
with and Replaced by Profit

How many dairymen would keep a
hired hand on their place who got up
when he felt like 1t, worked when he
felt like 1t. and did just us he pleased2
Such a hired man would be u losing
proposition n the nan who would
keep him would soon become bank
rupt.
On the other hand. how many dairy
men are keeping boarder dairy cows
that produce just as little milk as they
feel like producing, with little or no
profit to the owner?
A dairyman cannot afford to keep
a man that does not do more work
than he is paid for doing. Neither
can he afford to keep a COW that does
not return more money to him than
he puts into her in feed and labor.

GREEN FEEDS FOR CHICKENS
sprouted oats, Alfalfa Meal, Chopped
Alfalfa, Glover Hay and eeets
Are Recommended.

Good kinds of green feeds for hens
I'm winter, recommended by the Uni

are sprouted oats, alfalfa meal,
chopped alfalfa and clover hay, cab
bages and mangel beets. Cabbages
may be hung up in the poultry house;
the beets are usually split and stuck
on a nail on the side wall of the pen

one OF the cheapest and best winter
rations for the dairy heifer, according
to the Missouri station, is an average
daily Of about six pounds of alfalfa
hay, I'VE pounds OF corn, and silage ut

about twenty pounds dnily). This
kind OF ration has kept the helfers

FEEDING COWS SAWDUST

The ~facetious statement, re-
peated in a Joking way, Put
green goggles on the cows and
fool them by feeding sawdust
and shavings," is apparently not
going to be necessary in future
to feed them that product. 1t
has been found by experiment
that sawdust from non-resinous

first must undergo a process OF
treatment with certain acids,
which change II part Of the dry

P~Tesident-eiect Harding's confer

though by no means ended, seem al

LIKING of certain of his policies into
definite form. or course the two that
arouse the greatest public interest are
those relating to foreign affairs and
the League of Nations. and to the plan
for recognizing the nations business
and establishing II on a more econom-
&c basis.
In discussing an association Of ma

Harding has converted to his own
views such lrreconcllables as Senators
.RoraA and Reed, or even Mr.. Bryan,
whose Invitation to Marion aroused
the ribaid hispghter of the paragraph
ers. But Mr.. HG.4gsfoh have
brought his theories into form ut for
presentation to the world. According
TO what is said to be authoritative In

proaeh to the formation of his 'asso-
citation Of nations" should be to OBJ
tain the assent of the five leading ma
tlOns, tue Onlttu olultS, OTcut DIituiif
France. Italy and Japan. his theory
being that. once these nations have
Joined. the other nations will fall In
line. The basis OF this association Is
to be a world court to deal with justi-
cable questions.
Mr.. Harding holds that no assocIa-
tion OF nations can succeed without
the Endorsement OF the leaders Of pub
lie thought. In America and elsewhere.
and That these leaders must reach
agreement In the essentials, leaving
details to be settled later; that all
governing features must be eliminated
from the association, each nation re-
manning free to make Its own de-
cisions: that the agreement must be
specific enough to prevent he posi-
bility of an offensive and defensive
military alliance of the five great
powers. and the association of ma
lions itself must place all nations or
nm equal footing In the presentation
OF their views on matters Of world
policy.
