FARM WOMEN LEARN TO USE
BETTER MARKETING METHOD

Acting upon the advice OF extension
workers, South Carolina women have
made steady advances in standardiz-
ing the products they offer for sale
and in increasing their output For
example, in Charleston county. start
ing with one woman two years ago,
there are now over seventy women
shipping in weekly their graded and
guaranteed eggs. Two years ago no
one thought of fattening poultry be-
fore sending to market. Today no one
thinks of sending poultry to market
without first fa tcaing il. The women
realize as never before that a stand
ard bred fowl produces higher priced
eggs and market poultry than a mon
grel. 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 market and many
others who put up few dozen to sell.
The original woman who sold pre-
serves has so developed her business
that she has built factory and has
planned for an output of 10000 con-
tainers. The members of the local
home demonstration club assist her
and in this way not only make pock-
ct money for themselves. but improve
their own work. and in a few years
the entire community bids fair to be
well known for its specialized pro-
ducts.

In the interest of improving the
cattle industry throughout the south.
the first annual Fat and Feeding Cat
tie Show and Sale will open for two
days. Thursday and Friday. November
23 and "a, at the Bourbon stockyards,
Louisville, with the largest cash
prize list ever listed. in similar
show, amounting to $5,125, besides
cups and medals. The first day will
be devoted to judging the cattle and
the second day of the show will be
devoted to the auction sales.
The cattle show and sale is expect
ed to attract feeders and raisers from
all parts of the south and buyers
from the big cattle centers, Louisville
being the shipment point from the
states south of the Mason and Dixon
line and the states of the Ohio valley.
the stock yards being the logical
place for the buyers of the Chicago
and eastern packers to select their
meat animals and the feeders from
states north OF the Ohio river to get
their supply of stockers and feeders.
Among the prominent authorities
who will attend the show are Den

throughout Kentucky and Tennessee.
Each club will be in charge of the
county agent from its respective coun.
ty. Each boy and girl has fed one
calf and a keen rivalry will exist
among them. twenty-five prominent
buyers from the largest packers have
accepted invitations and will act as
judges in the different classes also
being competitive buyers for choice
animals.
On account OF beef values being
much higher than a year ago 1t is ex.
pected that the finished animals will
bring practically twice as much per
pound than the animals sold at the
show at the state fair In 1921.
In connection with the show and sale

WASHINGTON MAY BE FIRST
TO WIPE OUT TUBERCULOSIS

Washington is expected to be the
first of the As states to make definite
plans to wipe out all bovine tubercu
losis within its borders. In 20 of the
30 counties area eradication work has
already been conducted in co-opera-
tion with the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture. The commits.
sioner of agriculture and the state
veterinarian have planned a state
wide program that will be presented
to the legislature in January. The
governor is understood to be in favor
of the plan, and there is every rea-
son to believe that sufficient money
will be- Appropriated so that with the
cooperation of the department on the
present basis all the cattle in the
state can be tested within a reason
able time, probably two years.
The light infection of the cattle
herds in the state and the fact that
most of the cattle already have been
tested make the outlook particularly
promising. An indication of the low
percentage of tuberculosis was found
in Spokane county this summer. The
veterinarian in charge tested 469
herds, containing 2.754 animals. and
condemned only four
