Talks to Farmers
CORN AND HOGS.
BY r. F. PECK
COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE

ing a normal crop of corn this year,
and there has been considerable
carry-over of the 1920 crop of corn.
The corn crop throughout the coun-
try is reported normal, with con-
siderable carry-over from last year.
SO naturally there is no immediate
prospect for good price for corn.
While that is true, we have an
unusual condition regarding the
hog market, normally, the price of
corn and hogs fuctuate together
I remember as a boy, when corn
sold for so cents bushel, bacon
sold for 10 cents per pound. The
same relative prices will not pre-
vail during the coming year, be-
cause we have a normal crop Of
corn with considerable carry.over
and fewer hogs than at any time
within my memory. / know of
very few sections of the State which
have enough hogs to supply the
local demand.
For the above reasons We may
expect the market for hogs to be
good. The farmer who will buy
brood sows can in short time
grow pigs and within the year pro-
duce meat that, from present indi-
cations, will sell for a good price.
In this way the farmer can realize
a better price for his corn than he
could Of hoped to secure by sell
ing the corn on the grain market
Raising and feeding hogs gives the
farmer a quicker turnover for his
crop than in any other way.
Now that hogs can be immuniz-
ed from cholera and "hogfu.' .
there is not the danger of loss
there was before preventive serums
were perfected.
With present prices for feeder
steers and the low prices for hay
aud roughage, it would be we'll for
farmers to do some thinking and
give some study to market condi-
tions before rushing their feeder
cattle on the market Well inform
ed cattle men agree that by next
spring the market will Justify car
rying over cattle, and by feeding
on the farm, much fertilizing ma
terial could be retained. If we ex-
pect to make money in live stock,
we cannot get out of the game
when prices slump and get back in
it when prices are at their best.
We must get good foundation stock,
give them good feed and attention,
accept the lean years when they
come, and be ready when the mark
ct is good to have something to
market.
Prices for farm products are GO
ing to be better because the sup
plies accumulated during the war
for the European market, and did
not reach that market because of
the sudden ending of the war, have
by now been disposed of. The
dumping of the war surplus on the
home market, and the slowing up
of production because of the low
prices caused thereby, has resulted
in the depletion of the surplus.
Another fact that will result in in-
creased prices for farm products is
that smaller percentage of our
popuI alton than ever before is now
engaged in the production of food
crops.
/ repeat that the present time
and conditions are opportune for
the wide-awake farmer to fortify
himself for maximum production
by securing, at present favorable
prices, foundation stock for the
future, and at the same time restore
to the soil the fertility taken from
IN the production of crops to it

THERE are as many little things
l. that tone up this summers costume
and lend it an accent, as any season
has afforded. There are wells for those
who like their softening lines, small
fur neck-pieces that are graceful and
kind to their wearers, girdles of
"ivory" and beads or composition" In
different. colors that are new. There
are many new necklaces Of crystal and
of seeds, new styles In beaded purses
and others Of new kinds Of leather,
including ostrich skin, and there are
even a few new parasols, with those
covered with cretonne a cheerful re-
vival. BY all such means charming
changes and harmonies lend interest to
summer costumes.
A pretty company Of new shopping
bags reveals these necessities made of
summer silks as well as of ribbons.
Tricolette and heavy crepe weaves are

Q UMMERTIME sets many lovely
- scenes as backgrounds for the
summer girl, or anyone else who takes
these backgrounds into consideration
when choosing her frocks. For most
of US, practical clothes for this work
aday world In which we find ourselves
are as important at least as those that
are decorative, and 1t happens that
the ginghams, chambrays, percales and
other dependable cottons that make
our frocks for work have attractions
equal to those that make the dresses of
our leisure hours. Special designers
plan these dresses on lines that prove
as charming as any others.
But the business Of living requires
US to have frocks for play and leisure,
and summer brings with 1t the crisp,
diaphanous stuffs that belong to 1t
alone. Organdie and dotted swiss have
their day under the skies of summer,
and she is wise who makes the most
of il. These materials come In the
most exquisite and fiower-like color

MAS highway system. The federal
bureau reports that only 1875 per cent
of Californias highway concrete is
inferior.
California's concrete pavement 10
practically all four inches thick. The
use of this thin slab, which came In
for so much condemnation in the first
report, made it possible to give large
part of the state good highway serv-
ice at reasonable cost. The design
was determined nearly ten years be-
fore the heavy traffic came, SO that,
measured by results, the California
commissions work appears to have
been a success. Seventy per cent of
the defective pavement occurs on clay
and adobe soils, but a large mileage Of
the same thin pavement on these ad-
verse soils still remains in good condi.
ton.
The bureau found the four-inch slab
inadequate (the commission itself has
abandoned 1t in favor Of fve-inch
reinfaced concrete design and ad-
vises that experimental sections be
made on the unfavorable soils. 1t
also finds that the three-eighths-inch
carpet coat, famous in California, does
not give a service commensurate with
its cost.
OF interest in all parts Of the coun-
try is the bureaus finding that there
is nothing presented by the entire
California study which indicates that
concrete is not a successful pavement.
Simple, satisfactory methods for class
flying the conditions of concrete
roads have been developed from this
study which Mill be- found invaluable
In classifying roads in other states.

Columbia


Several proposed plans for the con-
struction OF permanent highways in
South Carolina were considered at a
meeting of the executive and advis-
ory committees and the nine vice
presidents of the South Carolina good
roads association held here.
The meeting was presided over by
L. D. Jennings of Sumter, president
OF the association.
Sentiment at the meeting seemed
In favor Of a bond issue. President
Jennings in speech before the COM
mittees expressed the belief that this
issue should not be for less than
.$5000O.0 900.
'1f North Carolina can build perma-
nent highways why cannot South Car
olina?" asked Mr.. Jennings. and he
answered his own question by declar-
ing that it could. Confidence was ex.
pressed by him that the people of the
state would authorize the building OF
permanent highways when they were
shown that these highways could be
built without cost to them, the state
merely having to lend its credit.
