DIVERSIFIED CAMPAIGN
PROVES VERY SUCCESSFUL
Will Be Continued This Week. Cen
trail Meetings to Be Held in
October

The diversified crop campaign
which was conducted last week under
the auspices of our chamber of COM
merce proved very successful accord
ing to reports made by 7. M. Mills,
farm demonstration agent for New
berry county and C. P. Mcdaniel,
secretary of our chamber of COM
merce
The campaign opened on Monday,
September 18th at Little Mountain
where a large crowd was present and
the week closed with meeting at
Vaughnville school on Friday after
noon. The campaign will be continued
this week. On Friday morning Mr..
Mills and Mr. Mcdaniel will visit Tab
ernacle school section at 10 o'clock
and Whitmire in the afternoon at
3 o'clock. Practically the entire
county was covered during last week
and at each place visited much inter-
est was manifested.
In addition to the farming program
being discussed, Mr.. C. Schmolke,
creamery expert Of Clemson college,
accompanied Mr.. Mills and Mr.. Nc
Daniel and discussed the creamery
project which has been agitated for
the past few months. Mr.. Schmolke's
talks on this subject proved very IN
teresting and educational, and those
interested in the creamery declare
that the prospects look brighter now
, than ever before, however there will
not be anything definite done toward
the establishment of the creamery
until the majority of the farmers OF
the county signify their willingness
to support 1t to the fullest extent. A
large number of farmers at each place
visited on the campaign have already
pledged this support and others are
expected to do so at an early date.
Dates for Central Meetings
The dates for the two central meet
ings to be held in connection with the
community meetings have not been
definitely decided, in view of the fact
that some difficulty has been expert
enced in securing speakers wanted.
It is thought however, that the meet
ings will be held during the first part
of October. One will be held at
Prosperity and one at Newberry. just
as soon as the speakers can be secured
the dates will be published. In the
meantime, every one interested in
diversified farming and the establish
ment of a creamery is urged TO
watch for the notice of the meetings.
In connection with the farming
program, it might be we'll to mention
that Mr.. Mcdaniel is due much credit,
for the body of program was adopted
from one originally prepared by him
and submitted to the farmers of Ker-
shaw county some months ago. 1t
is considered by the agricultural
committee of our chamber of COM
merce that the program as outlined
is a safe and sane one and any far
mer carrying it out in any degree
whatever will find it very rotftable.

When l was a schoolboy and was to

Has $50 Species of Birds.

Costa RIGA is about the same size
as West Virginia, but over $50 species
of land birds have been found in that
little Central American republic,
whereas, in all America north of Mex
leo only some 500 species are known.
And in the Andean region, within an
ever smaller area, a larger number of
birds has been recorded than from
Costa Rica. In Andean Colombia, for
example, expeditions of the American
Museum of Natural History actually
secured specimens of over 1,150 spe-
cies of land birds, or more than twice
as many as exist in the United States,
Canada and Greenland. In tropical
South America birds are practically
nonmigratory. They are, therefore,
continuously subjected to the intiu-
ences of their surroundings and do not
mix with birds from other localities
two factors of the utmost Importance
in the evolution of species.

Relic of Primitive DAYS.

Primitive man wore a collar for or
namentation before he wore much of
anything else, so the stiff collar is not
a modern part of mans attire. In the
fourteenth century neck chains, or civ
cry collars" were worn in England,
symbOlizing allegiance to one or an
other feudal baron. These collars are
still used in European officialdom by
orders of knighthood. The collar ruff
fe became the vogue among the rich.
Later, when starch was introduced
from Flanders, more people could af-
ford the %ruffies, and they assumed
such proportions that a proclamation
was issued against them. Even the
church took steps to reduce their size.
In the United States collars were in
general use in 1850. They stood
straight up and were conducive to
anything but comfort.

from China's coastwise routes. The
VAR tables, bowls, trays and boxes
used daily throughout Japan and
China. and sold to thousands of tour
lists, come principally from the little
towns of Naha and Shuri. The trade
in the ware is conducted by the wom-
en-, who do all the merchandising, and
in fact have charge of it. They are
strictly one-price merchants, the
amount first asked for an article be-
ing the one at which it is finally sold,
no matter how much bargaining Is
done. The women are straight OF
back and erect of carriage, due to tha
custom of carrying everything on their

Nowhere in America has there been

as in California. But these languages
are now rapidly disappearing. Sew

six and others by only twenty or th1r-

passes without some dialect, or even
