DOINGS OF OUR
CLARENDON FARMERS
j. B. Leee, who lives near Alcolu is
busy these days pulling stumps. After
the stumps are pulled they are cut
up and make the best kind Of wood.
This not only furnishes cheap source
of fuel but it enhances the value of
Mr.. Lees farm and enables him to
raise larger crops at less expense of
time and labor. Sometimes working
around stumps is pretty hard on ones
religion, SO you had better do as Hr.
Lee is doing and get a profit in three
or four different ways from one Op,
Grafton.

II. II. McFaddin of Gables is putting
up wire fence around his farm. 1t
certainly looks good 60 see neab
Well-built fence around Il mans farm
and it advcrtiscs to all who pass that
the man who lives on that fenced farm
raises crops for his own stock and not
for everyone else in the ncighborhood.
n fence is also safeguard against
animal diseases, for it partially iso-
latcs and prevents diseased stock
which runs at large from coming in
contact with his own stock. Do like
Nh McFaddin fence your farm and
keep your stock at home.

Quite number Of farmers around

Monday and Tuesday of this week
| inoculatcd 96 hogs. There are about
twenty farmers now awaiting for me
to come and inoculate their hogs.
Cholera is pretty widely spread over
the county and it is up to every man
who raises hogs to take as much pre-
caution as possible to prevent his
herd from becoming infected. The
practice of everyone allowing their
hogs IN at large at this time of
ye oonsiblc in a large degree
&c mt cholera epidemic
80" Now there is cholera in
vo, i"i' the thing to do is to
keep your hogs pcnned away from
sick hogs running at large and then
send for your County Agent and have
them made immune against cholera.
The time to do that is before your
your hogs are sick, after they are
very isck from cholera there is no
treatment that will care them. BY
fencing your farms you can almost
control cholera infection from outside
sources.

Now is good time to plow your
last years tobacco fields When |
visited Mr.. j. r. FurSc near Summer
ton last Thursday he was having his
old tobacco field plowcd and the plow
was turning up hundreds of tobacco
worms which were passing the winter
in the ground. The next cold snap
that comes along will kill all those to-
hacco worms that were plowcd up,
thing which will help to control to-
bacco worms this coming season.
When the moth Of tobacco worm is
hatchcd out it will ny to the nearest
tobacco field it can find. If you plant
tobacco this year near where you
planted last year and your tobacco
WAS eaten uD by worms last year you
can expect the same trouble this year.
Try and plow as many old tobacco
fields as possible before all the cold
weather is over. Everyone killed now
mcr.

Mr. f. G. Thomas shipped carload
Of sweet potatoes which had been
cured in his new storage house. He
realized a very nice profit from this
Sa'". Curing sweet potatoes in n pro-
ncrly built curing house prevents any
loss from cotting, either in the cur
ing house or when shipped to dis
tant market.

Of fencing ordered by individuals from
different wire companies. This amount
Of fencing will be n big help in fight

tines this amount in order to make
the fight a complete success.
