DAIRY
HINTS
CONTESTS IMPROVE QUALITY
Demonstrations in South Carolina
Have Done Much to Promote
Dairy industry.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)s
County and state butter contests, a
feature of South Carolina extension
work for women last year, accom-
plished much in the way Of improving
the dairy industry there. South Caro-
lima Is not dairy state. 1t uses an
nually about $14,OOO,O0O worth Of
dairy products shipped In from other
states. Some of this Importation is
due to the fact that while there Is a
large amount of farm butter produced
within the state, no steady demand for
1t has been developed. For the pur-
pose of creating an interest In this
farm-made butter, and to teach the
women to make a better product con-
tests which were-open to home-demon-
stration club members were started
during 1921 in IL counties.
Butter demonstrations were given
In all the women's clubs, and all in
terested persons were invited to DEM
onstration by the state specialist at
the county seat. Three hundred and
sixty women and girls enrolled for the
contests, and of these 120 sent butter
for every judging. Without exception
there was a great Improvement in the
packages brought to market and the
quality of the butter sold, as the
women learned to what extent the but
ter is affected by the temperature
used for ripening and churning, the
care and cleanliness In handling, and
the feeds for the cow.
Contest butter" sold very readily at
the various club markets, and those
who did not enter the contest were
obliged to make Improvement In the
quality of what they offered for sale
or lose the market for their butter. Elk
tension workers report to the United
States Department of Agriculture that
the butter produced in. all parts of the
state has been perceptibly improved as
q result of these contests.

The growth Of deposits at the
Mason State Bank are indicative OF
the progress being made by the
Mason district, and this fall the de-
posits at the bank are the largest
they have ever been at this time of
the year, which is indeed an incou-
raging sign.
The bank officials are hustlers and
are doing everything in their power
to promote the interests of the Ma
son district and that their efforts
are appreciated is shown by the high
esteem in which the officials are held
by the people of the district.

GIVES ADVICE

sit is to be hoped that every per-
son who can do so will exchange War
Savings Stamps, soon to fall due,
for Treasury savings certifcates,H
said Postmaster c. /. Larson. "The
large amount Of money invested and
the great number of persons who
purchased war saving stamps show
ed that the people of this country
could save money when the necessity
arose. Now, if they will take the
money they saved when they bought
stamps to aid the government in the
prosecution of the war and buy
Treasury savings certificates, they
will demonstrate that the thrift les
sons of the war have not been with
out effect. The holders of war
savings stamps have seen invest
ments of about $2O.50 grow to $25
in five years and larger amounts in
the same proportion. They can see
the same thing repeated if they rein
vest in Treasury savings certificates.
Interest accumulates at the rate of
A per cent each year, compounded
semi-annually. These savings GER
tificates are exempt from the normal
Federal income tax, and from all
State and local taxation Except es-
tate and inheritance taxes, and may
be held to the amount of $4,000, ma
turity value, for each issue, by every
member of a family. They are
backed by the credit of the United
States Government, and afford an
easy and sure method Of saving"

The balloons were started in a gusty

showed, however. that when an altitude
