FARM DEPARTMENT.

starting with one woman, two years
ago, there are now over seventy wo-
men shipping in weekly their grad
ed and guaranteed eggs. Two years
ago no one thought of fattening poul-
try before sending to market. To-day
no one thinks of sending poultry to
market without first fattening 1t. The
women realize as never before that
a standardized fowl produces high
er priced eggs and market poultry
than a mongrel. The improvement
in preserving is also marked. Two
years ago only one woman produced
really standard preserves and jelly.
Now there are nine who can for mar
ket and many others who put up a
few dozen to sell. The original wo-
man who sold preserves has so de-
veloped her business that she has
built factory and has planned for
an output of 10000 containers. The
members of the local home demon
stration club assist her and in this
way not only make pocket money for
themselves but improve their own
work, and in few years the entire
community bids fair to BE- well known
for it's specialized products. The
number of dozen eggs sold, as re-
ported to the extension agent, is s.
142, and the pounds of poultry, 49,
667. The value of canned goods ac-
tually sold is $512, and the total
amount of all products is $S,504.94.
In the State last year approximate
ly 5000 containers of such stand
ardized products as Dixie burgoo,
pine bark fish stew, Brunswick stew,
soup mixture, blackberry jam, fig
preserves, plum jelly, grape juice,
artichoke relish, and butter were put
on the market through the South
Carolina Home Producers Associa-
ton. This year contracts have been
signed for about 100000 containers.

College of Agriculture. Nurseries
are making numerous shipments OF
young trees while scores of farmers
are making plans for their future or
chards. The care that is given the
young trees from the time they arrive
at the railroad station until they are
planted plays a large part in deter
mining VIII tther or not they live, Mr..
Maghill says.
Trees from the nursery should be
heeled in at some spot convenient to
the orchard site just as soon as pos
sible after they arrive. This is
done by digging a trench deep
enough to fully cover the roots and
sloping considerably more on one
side than 1t does on the other. The
trees are then separated and their
roots placed close together along
the trench with the trunks on the
sloping side. The soil is then care
fully worked in around the roots
and tramped down solid.
A good way to keep the tree roots
from drying out while ths planting is
being done is to put them in a barrel
or tub half full of thick mud made
by mixing water and clay soil. The
barrel or tub and the trees can be
moved easily from place to place II
they are placed on sled or wagon.
Most commercial growers of the state
prefer to plant their trees in the fall,
since the soil is more tillsbte at this
time and becomes firmly settled
around the roots of the young trees
before they start growing in the
spring. How sver, il bad weather
stops the planting before the trees
are all set those that are left can be
heeled in and kept over for spring
planting. Damage from rabbits to
the newly set trees can be stopped
by putting poultry netting two fest
high around them.
Apple trees are best planted about
35 by S5 feet and peach trees about
"a by "a feet apart. When the holes
for the trees are being dug, the top
and sub soil should be kept separate
so that the richer top soil can be plac-
ed around the roots of the trees. II
is not a good practice to mix straw
manure or leaves with the dirt as
the holes are being filled as these
tend to stop the rise of water thru
the soil and may cause the tree to die
because of lack of moisture. Care
should be taken to pack the soil well
around the roots.

WIDE INTEREST IN SYSTEM
OR FIGHTING ROUNDWORNIS

The system of swine sanitation,
worked out in the laboratories of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture and first put into farm practice
in Mclean County ILL.,, is attracting
the attention of many farmers else
where. The intestinal roundworm,
which this system seeks to eliminate.
is now recognized as one of the most
important causes of loss to the hog
raiser. Practically all reports from
localities where it has been used have
been Favorable.
During the last IL months the sys-
tenn was tried out in the experimental
work in Mclean County on nearly
10000 pigs of both fall and spring
filters. In August practically all the
pigs were in remarkably thrifty con-
dition, and the farmers are enthu-
siastic over the returns obtained
from the little extra care and labor
expended.
The Mercer County (Ill) Farm
Bureau has announced that 1t will
put a man to work lining up the
members for a worm cleanup cam
paign similar to that put on In Nc
Lean County. The Institute OF Am
erican Meat Packers has given spe-
cial attention to the round worm
work in the report of its committee
on animal diseases. The president
of the American Veterinary Medical
Association says that this system of
eradication is one of the most inn
portant recent developments in the
hog industry. Bankers in the Corn
Belt are taking an interest in the
new plan, and one of them in a neigh

Close to 800 Fayette county farm

learned the method of distinguish
ing between the good and poor lay
ers in their poultry flocks by attend
ing poultry culling demonstrations
held by County Agent w. r. Gabbert
and the extension division of the Col
Iege of Agriculture. A total of SS
fiocks were culled in the demonstra-

were handled being discarded be-
cause they showed characteristic
signs of being poor layers that had

Demonstration work In sheep
breeding has had a marked effect on
wool production in Montgomery
County, Ind, as is shown by the fact
that in 1918, 10000 pounds of wool
were produced in the county, while
in 1921 the sheep breeders associa-
ton alone pooled and marketed more
than six carloads. On a tour OF
farms on which sheep breeding and
feeding demonstrations were being
conducted in 1921, under direction of
the county agent, 3S automobiles
were required to accommodate the
people interested, while in 1918, on
a similar tour, only were needed.

Barred Rock Pullet Sets New Mark
On Station Farm

Lexington, KY, Nov. 11.-All pre-
yious records for the number of eggs
laid in a year by individual hens in
the experiment station flock of the
College of Agriculture have been
broken by a Barred Plymouth Rock
pullet that has just completed her
first year of laying with total OF
263 eggs to her credit, according to
an announcement by j. II. Martin,
in charge of the college poultry work.
This is three more eggs than were
laid by White Leghorn hen that has
held the farm record since 1919. The
most striking thing about the new
record as seen by poultrymen here Is
the fact that good breeding, the right
kind of feed and proper care made
II possible for hen to lay 200 eggs
more in a year than the average hen
on Kentucky farms lays. The new
holder of the farm record is the re-
suit of only three years work on the
part of the college poultrymen to
get Barred Plymouth Rocks that will
lay a large number of eggs in year.

FREIGHT RATES REDUCED


The nations freight bin will be re-
duced approximately $3.50, 100000 a
year under rates, which went into eff
feet Saturday night, experts esti-
mated. At the same time wage re-
auctions amounting to S134, 100000
per annum were put into effect by
decisions Of the Railroad Labor
Board.
The new freight rates recently
ordered by the Interstate Commerce
Commission following extended hear
ings, make average cuts Of about six
per cent. 1t was explained by ex-
perts of the Interstate Commerce
Commission that total reductions
from the increased rates granted the
railroads by the commission on Aug
ust 26, 1920, have amounted to about
II per cent, The reduction put into
effect prior to the latest order of the
commission amount to approximately
five per cent, and under the new
rates which became effective Satur-
day the AVERAGE reduction on all com
modities of six per cent. is effected
According to the experts, the II per
cent reduction granted shippers effect
a saving Of S450, 100000 annually. and
OF this amount S200,000,000 has al
ready been saved through reductions
previously ordered.
In ordering the new reductions in
rates the commission pointed out in
it's decision that many rate readiust-
ments resulting in reductions have
been made since the increase Of 1920.
Some effected substantial volume of
traffic, such as export grain, btu
minous coal, to Lake Erie ports for
The Northwest, sand and gravel I'M
eastern territory, ore, lumber and Pc
.roleum and its products.
While the railroads have contended
hat reduction in rates will not re-
store normal traffic, the belief is
general that the new rates will has
EN- business recovery and result in
tonnage.

CROP CONDITIONS THIS WEEK

The fine rains Of Sunday night
and Monday came just in time to dc
the maximum good to both corn and
cotton. A good season is reported
from all parts of the county and a
big rain from some sections.
lMr. j. S. Ruffin, the government
weather reporter in Covington, re-
ports fall Of APO for Sunday night
and Monday.
Some crops in the bottoms were
Z overflowed, but the water got off
right away and no complaint is made
of serious damage. Some of the hill
land washed quite a good deal, but
that damage done does not seem to
be serious.
The weather since the rains is a
little cool for cotton, especially at
night, but good farmers tell us that
it is better to have a little cool
weather after rains at this season
because the cotton will not scald so
much and will hold the fruit better.
If it warns up in a day or two we
will be all right.
Our little wheat crop is being
threshed and marketed.
Mr.. B. B. Boyd, of the local mill.
tells US that 1900 bushels have been
sold on the local market up to date
and he expects the crop to be about
10000 bushels The price is from 81
to $1.10 per bushel This is a small
wheat crop when it is remembered
that the people of Upton county
consume about 10000 bushels per
year, but it helps and indicates that
our people have not entirely forgot
ten this important crop.
Second crop Irish potatoes are be-
ing planted, and if the land has been
kept free from vegetation and is kept
stirred during the dry season which
will likely follow, we may have an
abundance of this fine crop.
Let us hope that the turnip patches
and fall gardens will not be forgot
ten.
We still hear reports of the boil
weevil activities from all parts of the
county, but no serious damage is re-
ported as yet. If it gets this crop it
will have to work fast, because cot
ton is growing and fruiting rapidly.
Corn blades had begun to twist
little before the rain, but that is all
over for the present, and the pas
lures and the lespedeza hay crop are
looking fine.
Looking over the crop conditions in
the county as a whole, we are con-
strained to believe that we have
abundant reason to give thanks.
