SUMTER CORN AT s1.s5 BUsHEL.

n corn of the 1921 crop has just
been marketed at $1.95 per bushel
cash. And yet some farmers insist
that there is nothing in raising corn
that Georgia cannot compete with
the great corn states in the raising
Of this grainl But a Sumter eoun-
ty farmer has proved that HE can
compete with the Western states.
And so can every other farmer if he
with use his brains in his farming OPP
erations along with other necessities.
The man who has just done this is
Gordon Heys, well known as one of
the county's most progressive and
intelligent young farmers. The
amount of corn he marketed at S1.35
bushel was 500 bushels. And here
is how he did it.
Instead of caring his corn off to
market in the ear and at the same
time disposing of his younger hogs
because the market price happened to
be lower than it had been, as a large
number of so-called good farm
ers have done in this vicinity the last
few months, he kept both on his farm
and he put them together. There
were 80 head of hogs and he made
a test of their feeding record in
order to satisfy himself and to know
exactly whether he was making a
profit or a loss, and how much.
At the beginning of the test the
80 head of hogs weighed a total of
8,64O pounds. They were fed for
period Of 81 days-less than two
notwithstanding 500 bushels of
corn and one ton of tankage. They
were sold last week and when nut
on the scales weighed 5000 pounds,
or gain of 1880 pounds. This gain
per head per day was l. -5 pounds.
The feed required to obtain one
pound of weight was 4.25 pounds of
corn and 81 pounds of tankage. The
hogs brought 1871 per hundred.
Deducting $40 for wages for man
to feed the hogs for the 81 day ne
Rod, and also the cost of the tank
age and other expenses, the profit
remaining gave market price for
Al
the corn of $1.35 per bushel This
corresponds to the best offered price
OF the past season of Sc cents a
bushel f. o. b cars for first class
Sumter county corn.
This was record kept by Mr..
Heys and verified by George O.
Marshall, county agent, who has been
consistent advocate of keeping corn
and pigs at home instead of selling
both on the open market. For not
only does the farmer who feeds the
gram get a better price for his corn.
put he secures higher grading for
ms hogs because of the increased
weight and therefore picks up an adj
dltlonal one to three cents a pound.
But lnspite of the advice to hold
onto pigs and corn, number of
sumter county farmers have sold
both at low prices, and the result is
mat they and the community both
are much poorer today for it.
The great corn country with which
the farmers here say they cannot
compete learned long ago it could
not afford to market much corn 9th.

tistics of Wisconsin libraries. The
bulletin states that the ideal circula-
ton decided upon by some state COM
missions is nine books per capita in
places with population of 1000 to
5000. According to the statistics
based upon the latest annual report
sent to Madison from our library we
are close to the ideal circulation, the
number of volumes circulated per cap
tia for Ladysmith being eight and
siX-tenths.

EASY MARKS FOR EASY MARKS

With German marks being peddled
around at three for a cent perhaps
there was an excuse for the New York
Wag who in trying to sell d bill OF such
goods a week or so ago remarked in
passing that 'this is the day of easy
marks" and then proceeded to unload
on the unwary. 1T may be well to re-
member there are many "astute" mon
sey changers in the big cities who are
loaded up with German coinage and
who are. casting right and left to find
market for their unpopular treasure
There is always temptation to buy a
hundred thousand dollars worth of
money for a five dollar bill or whatnot.
Those who are inclined to yield to such
Get-Rich- Quick Wallingford tempta-
ton. however, should remember the
Confederate bills that are stacked up in
the garrets of little homes from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, so that when
the great city propaganda begins,
aimed as it will be first at "stabilizing
the German monetary SYSTEM they
will see the part of wisdom is to seal
| up their pocketbooks.
That Germany will come back there
can be no doubt, because the Germans
are an industrious people. They are
i likely to regain power while the world
sleeps, but no matter how rapidly they
get to their feet it is generally agreed
that before they run very far the
whole Of their monetary system will
have to be changed, and in the new
issue of the national stock the exist

d0usly reduced in value if not entirely
wiped out Beware the Greeks bear

\ DISTINCTION WITH
OUT A DIFFERENCE

When Rock LeYeille was in Canada,
recently, he was told that Canadian
money was at discount compared
to American money, or, rather, that
American money was at premium,
for, of course, Canadians could not
consent to say that their money was
at discount. But when Mr.. Lee
Veille bought bill of goods in a Mon
treal store and was told that it
amounted to $40, he received no
change back from two twenty-dollar
bills. 1t appeared to him to be dis
tinction without a difference.
Perhaps Canadian merchants charge
people from the States more for goods
than they charge their own people on
the theory that Americans have more
money to pay with. That is the way
the European merchants do, according
to reports. In Germany and in some
other continental countries Americans
are charged three times as much as
home folks, because they can stand it.

construction contracts showing that in

than half that amount for the similar
period in 1921 Yet the pessimistic
Democratic leaders in the Senate most

no progress in the Republican effort to

tracts in one year is not progress Of
a desirable and commendable sort, we'd

The American Federation Of Labor
is strongly opposed to the proposed
government ship subsidy, as inimical
to public interests and destructive of
the nations hope for sea power. 1t
has wired protest to congressional
leaders opposing favorable action. On
the other hand, President Harding is
strongly for it, to the point of threat
ening to call an extraordinary session
of congress to pass a subsidy bill if the
present congress does not pass one. A
ship subsidy seems to have worked
well in Japan and in some other coun-
tries viewed from national activities,
but how it affected the common people
is a conjecture. We are rather far
inland to venture an opinion on a ship
subsidy, but we are strong for a Great
Lakes-St. Lawrence waterway; we can
see how that will benefit Northern
Wisconsin.
