r-The' Farm. arid the Farmer By William R. Sanborn

A fanner living near Spartanburg in Randolph, county iold a story about a big hog at the meeting in that burg the other evening. This "stag" weighed a good 1.000 pounds, he said, "and the butchering was a man's sized job; in fact it took several of us to do the work. A tree and a block and tackle was a part of the equipment." The output of lard was 457 pound3, he stated. John Duke, of Williamsburg. tells of rendering 250 pounds of lard from a 750 pound "stag" killed at the Grant Watkins' plant, a few days since. This ranks as the heaviest hog killed at ihe plant this season. A team of registered Belgian mares, 8 and 9 years old, topped the horse offerinc at the W. K. Crampton sale.

also dispose of a lot of heavy White Rock hens at the same time, at going prices for chickens. "This experiment with capons' seems to be so satisfactory," said Mr. Koons, "that I intend going into the business in a much larger way the coming spring." Capons are always in demand and we have never known the capon market to be

over supplied, although at times prices are better than at other seasons. Federation Is Growing The national secretary of the American farm bureau told the annual conference of Illinois farmers, at Springfield, that the statement that the farm bureau is losing members' 'is unqualifiedly false. It is gaining in members at the rate of 20,000 per month." In-

asmuch as the central headquarters

at 1.100 for the pair. Seven norses t. Tnomvorcvir, , -.",.,,, ,,,.,

went under the hammer, lne net oi 4

the sale was given at $4 890. ! The M. K. church at Williamsburg will be the scene of a large farm gatb-j tiing on Monday night, at the Green, township bureau meeting. In addition to a few remarks from Dolan, Pitlinger and Hunt, the program includes! music and good things to eat, as the; story runs. Finds Capons Profitable J. K. Koons, a farmer living on route) t; out of Camden, over toward Gratis,! tells us that he is experimenting withj

White Rock capons this year, and that the venture has been found profitable. He has 65 of these capons, all last spring's chickens, the smallest of

which now weigh 10 to 12 pounds, j

wmie some tn meui weigucu uj m pounds last week. Mr. Koons says he thinks thi3 a good time to market these bird3, and that they will bring high prices in New York. He does not intend, howfver, to ship them, either alive or dressed, to strangers in that distant market, but will dispose of tiiem at (he Parker plant at Eaton, Mr. Parker having offered 35 cents a. pound for the birds alive at the farm. .He will

know. The Chicago officials have recently asked that membership fees be remitted monthly by the state officials, instead of their waiting to make annual or semi-annual settlements. Now a Going Concern

The live stock sales plan is having its only tryout to date, at the East St. Louis yards, where there are some 50 commission firms. The first week's business was 44 cars and in the second week 67 cars .went over the "Producers' " scales. These shipments came from Illinois. Missouri and Iowa. We are not advised that any action has yet been taken to install one of these associations at Indianapolis, or else

where, but a committee is looking over the various fields and i3 figuring on

the chances for paying patronage. Tuberculosis in Poultry. Dr. W. A. Billings, of the Minnesota university, says there is no euro

for tuberculosis in the poultry house, and that a few affected fowls mcy communicate the disease to the entire flock, through the soil and contaminiv tion from the droppings. The germ

may be seen through a microscope, and the best and right way to head oft the spread of this malady is with an axe. Birds dying from tuberculosis should be burned. It is generally be

lieved that poultry does not become infected from catle and hogs, but this is not definitely known to be true. It is possible that certain of our wild

birds carry infection from flock to; flock, but this is only a surmise. Volume on the Farm. Volume of business is a key to farm prosperity, writes an Ohio man. He gives this story as an example of what he is driving at: "Of 90 Washington county farms recently surveyed, the 36 with a cash income over $4,000 cleared three times as much money as the 54 with less than $4,000 comingin each year.' Bread Supply Increased. The latest figures from the International Institute at Rome indicate that the wheat crop of the world in 1921 exceeded that of 1920 by seven percent, that rye increased 36 percent, that the barley crop was about normal

and that there was a 13 percent loss in the oats crop, figured on the basis of the out-turn in 1920. Russia, Portugal and the Serb-Slovene states were not reported on.

With a 36 percent greater supply of rye and seven percent more wheat than in 1920 we find the bread supply increased by 43 percent, as rye is a

favored bread grain in Europe. Pota

toes, a prime necessity, seemingly fell short from seven to 10 percent, taking the average of the countries reported from. Thi3 increase in bread grains by no means provide a large surplus, but the inability of the stricken nations to buy and consume freely, partially accounts for the comparatively low prices on wheat and ry e in the world's markets, as figured in American dollars. Immagine what would be the result if we could actually get distribution of the grain needed into the famine districts of Europe and Asia, until all were adequately fed and supplied with

iseed.

SUSTO FOR DELICATE CHILDREN

Tested and Approved at Onej

ot Our Greatest American I Medical Colleges. i i For the first time in history we are i able to offer to our people a remedy ; tested and approved .by a Professor of '. Physiological Chemistry at one of our!

greatest American Medical Colleges.! After testing SUSTO in many cases j and for many months in his final re- j port he says: I "In every instance where under-' nourished infants and children were ! given SUSTO, important body-weight! increases were registered. A notable j case is that of a boy of eleven, who j had been under weight for three or ; four years in spite of the best medi-i cal and dietetic treatment. SUSTO J produced a gain of six pounds." j Similar tests were made upon chit-; ' dren. adults and aged people suffer- j ing from malnutrition, nervousness, j auemic conditions and others recuper-j ating from illness. In every case SUSTO demonstrated its power to; .stimulate the appetite and increase ! bodily weight and strength. There-! tore, we feel confident that those who j have delicate, ailing children or : adults who need strength, lack energy, j are nervous, anemic, run down, under; weight, or feeble old people, can find; nothing better than SUSTO. j SUSTO sinmlv adds to the daily

diet in concentrated form the growth- j promoting, strength and life-giving

omenta of yeast, rice. eggs, niiik. beet protein and iron that they are not getting in their daily food and whioh are necessary to sustain, strength and lice. For sale by Clem Thistleth'waite. r Advertisement,

.Dickinson's Jewelry Store

An Institution for Three Quarters of a Century

Seventy-two years ago the Dickinson Jewelry Store was founded by R. B. Dickinson It was operated and improved during that time for 57 years by the founder, who made the name Dickinson represent the utmost in quality and value in everything in the jewelry line. Fifteen years ago, at th6 retirement of Mr. R. B. Dickinson, the store vyas taken over by his son, Mr. O. E. Dickinson. The store was thoroughly remodeled and made into one of the most modern jewelry establishments in this part of the country. The stock carried at that time was very limited. Under the present management new departments have been added and much more extensive lines of all standard jewelry merchandise are carried in stock. Growing from an extremely modest start, the business developed and the volume has increased each year. Our policy of selling only the very best merchandise from America's leading and most responsible firms has given us the prestige for dependable merchandise, second to none in the state. The constantly increasing cuts made it possible to sell on a closer margin, thereby giving our trade the benefit of the very lowest prices at all times. The store is known throughout this part of the country and hundreds of the older families still possess clocks, watches and silver that have been in their possession for approximately half a century. Our business has shown a constant increase each year until 1921. We, together with all other businesses, felt to some degree the lack of buying activity, and while we did not do quite the volume of business that we did in 1920, the splendid values offered throughout the year, and our host of friends who always buy here, gave us a years business that we are tremendously proud of. Analyzing 1922, we believe that the leading business men of the country are correct in forecasting a great revival in business activities in ail lines. Men like President Harding, Secretary Mellon of the Treasury, Secretary Hoover, Governor Harding of the Federal Reserve Board, John Wanamaker, foremost American merchant, John Patterson of the National Gash Register Company, unanimously agree that business is on the up-grade and that the farmer, laborer, salesman, merchant, manufacturer and professional man will all feel the revival in business that will make 1922 the beginning of one of the most prosperous eras in the history of our country. Naturally Richmond and the surrounding territory will get its share. Our part will be to continue to sell you dependable merchandise at the lowest possible prices and to increase our facilities and render even better service to the trade than we have in the past. Our friends know our policy and the kind of service they get, and we invite your new business.
