MORE LIVESTOCK SOLD
HERE THAN IN ANY COUNTY.

Few folks, even those living
right here at home, realize the inn
portance of the livestock industry
in Sumter county, and not until
actual figures are given does it
begin to dawn upon them that the
county stands at the head of the
list when it comes to raising hogs
for the market.
During the past week ten cars
of hogs have been sold in the c1un-
ty and one car of cattle. At Les
lie three cars of hogs were sold,
at Plains three cars of hogs were
sold, at Americas four cars of hogs
were sold and one car of cattle.
This is a record which we are
proud to tell the world. 1t shows
that we are among the foremost
counties in the state to go to the
head Of the class in the matter of
stock raising, and what is more,
the end is not yet.
Scores of farmers are adding to
their already large stocks, believ-
ing that this is destined to be one
Of the biggest money makers, next
to the cotton crop, at least it es-
abhshes a record for thriftiness of
the farmers in the diversification
of their various farming interests.
Mr.. c. c. Hawkins is our au-
thority for making the statement
that Sumter is selling more hogs
than any county in the state.

ED COMMENT
FINDING OUTLET FOR
SUMTER DAIRY PRODUCTS.

(From the Vidalia Advance.)
When Steele county, Minnesota,
held its agricultural fair at Owa-
tona few weeks ago, says an
agricultural paper, it became
known that this little county
claims to be the richest farming
community in this country, and
that its wealth is founded on the
dairy business. There is one cow
for every inhabitant of the coun-
ty. The butter manufacture of the
year is placed at five million dol
lars. The county has twenty
three cooperative creameries II
also produces its due quota of
grain, hay, potatoes and hogs. And
most convincing proof Of all, it has
Dank deposits amounting to $500
Tor every man, woman and child
IN the county. Evidently it paws
to keep dairy cows.
1t is not necessary to recite the
oft-repeated story of how these
Minnesota farmers have to feed
their COWS most of the year. Thew
even have to house them and
warm them part of the year. We
can raise all our feed, and have
Vear-round pastures. And what
are we doing?
There is only one excuse for rs
not no. dong what the Steele county
Minnesota, people are DOING. and
'nat IS a lack of energy. You

Of the fruit vending stands and

not one of them carried any Geor-

And do that job in the proper way!

That George, the willing and eager chump,
Is giving the orders around the dump

And George did it, and forged ahead!

But use your knob
