Eleven approved alfalfa growers

Three corn variety tests changed
the ideas Of at least so farmers on
the proper variety Of corn to pro-

Two wheat variety tests have also

extension specialist, the county news
papers and the different community
organizations, an extensive corn
planting week and a seed selection
week campaign were conducted. The
chief reason for pushing these two
campaigns was to get farmers in the
habit of planting their corn sufi-
GENTLY early to make corn the de-
pendable crop we strive to make it.
In pushing this campaign every eff
fort was put forth to get the proper
information before the farmer.
The result Of these campaigns
were doubtful in the minds of some
of the people who were putting forth
most of the efforts to properly con-
duct them, until later in the field sea-
son when actual contact with a large
number of actual corn farmers and

dustries have developed in about the
same ratio as corn, records showing
that only five carloads of hogs were
shipped from county shipping points
last year, while to date this year IL
carloads have been shipped out, and
it is estimated that there will be at
least 20 more car loads put ON the
market and a large reserve of breed
ing stock kept over. Most conserv-
ative business men and farmers be-
lieve that corn has been the largest
factor responsible in getting farm
ers to divert their attention from the
specialized wheat farming to a di-
versified. farming, with confidence
that there is a bright future before
that industry in this section of the
country.
The approved seed corn growers
are also getting results in their work.
They have well established in their
W minds the type of corn that is
best adapted for this section of the
country, and have worked diligently
through the different cooperative
agencies to put this type of seed on
the market in preference to poorly
selected and unacclimated seed. Witt
the educational work at the different
shows, the corn schools, and these
pioneer growers, the results this last
year were large in actual acreage,
and the spread of influence in this
particular project is growing more
RAPIDLY than expected. Further re-
suits, that speak in terms Of money,
are that a number of farmers have
sold their corr in the field for SIS

mand for all the feed corr that can
be purchased on the cob for soc a

conversation with them, proved amp
ly that these campaigns were mot n
vain. A remark such as this, is rep
resentative of the feeling of most
of the farmers who are developing
their corn acreage: "You know that
corn planting week did a lot of good
in this community. l was a little be-
hind with my work and l sure felt
awfully bad that l did not get all Of
my corn planted during corn plant
ing week" The same thing is true
regarding the seed selection week,
and an inspection of most corn farm
ers' granaries the middle of Septem-
Der showed that they were sufi-
GENTLY interested in their corn to
make a seed selection early enough
to insure them of at least another
years crop.

COTTON MARKET At
NEW HIGH POINT TODAY
Spots Are Quoted At 27 3-8c
On Americus Market, With
No Offerings

Spot middling cotton is quoted on
the open market in Americus today
at 27 3-8 cents. This is good news
to the South, although it comes too
late to do much good to the farmer,
as this seasons crop has all been
gathered. No gins are now running
and have not been for sometime.
The price quoted today is the
highest the market has reached in
sometime. About three years ago
the market reached the unusual
height Of Al 1-2 cents when it began
to take the toboggan, going down
to as low as 8 cents. Then the as
tendency began, until today the mar
ket registered twenty points, or 81
bale higher than yesterday.
1t is estimated that the stock on
hand in the two warehouses in Amer
icus is aronud 5000 bales, with no
offerings.

HOGS AND COTTON ARE
STUNT Err MONEY CROPS
County Agent Marshall Talks
On Best Farm Products For
This Section

Sumter county's best money crops
are "hogs and cotton" George O..
Marshall, county farm demonstration
agent, said today. Explaining the
development of hogs as a money crop
here, Marshall declared hog sales are
being held in Sumter county every
month in the year, with five to eight
cars sold for cash monthly. Pur-
chasers are principally representa-
tives of packing houses located in
Georgia and other states. Since the
Inauguration of cooperative sales
here five years ago, Marshall said
today the marketable quality of
Sumter county hogs had increased
approximately rs per cent. Local
hog buyers had entirely abandoned
their activities in this territory as
meat hogs are now sold 100 per cent
through farmers sales. Sales are
lightest during winter months val
ues ordinarily are at their lowest
point, with majority of sales held
during the early spring and simmer
months.
Besides selling thousands Of dol
lars worth of hogs monthly, Sumter
farmers who formerly purchased
quantities of western cured meats
now raise their entire suoply Of botl
pork and beef for farm purposes
