Facts,Figures and Farmers MARION W. WALL, County Agent Sorghum Demonstration. Mr. M.. W. Hensel, Sugar Plant Specialist, was in the county last week with the County Agent looking after some sorghum syi^p demonstrations. Mr. Z. V. Blue is testing out four varieties of sorghum cane this year and we will soon be ready to make a complete report on the test. Mr. Blue is now making some very good syrup and will have this for sale in a few days. It is being put up in gallon and half-gallon cans. Co-operative Shipment of Lime Mr. Coltrain, representing the American Limestone Co., accompanied the County Agent in the Cameron community one day last week and they succeeded in getting orders for 33 tons of lime to be shipped co operatively. This is a good start for those at Cameron who will need lime this fall. I will be glad to come to any community and assist in getting up carload lots of lime. It is a thing that will have to be used on lowlands and in the upper part of the county if we ever expect to make a great success with clovers and alfalfa. Now is the time to order. The price is within range of the farmers and a few tons for every farm will be a good investment. Arrange to Attend the Community Fairs' Beginning on Monday, October 3rd, at Hemp, and continuing through Tuesday, October 11th, there will be eight community fairs in the county. Perhaps every family has a premium list—-’if you have not it is your own fault for they have been distributed all over the county and then some. This booklet will tell you all you want to know about any of the fairs, and from the looks of everything now there will be more interest in these community gatherings than has ever been expected. The people are collecting exhibits and there will be many visitors at each fair. We have secured the services of Mr. C. R. Hud son, state agent, and Mr. S. L. Home wood, development agent for S. A. L. Railroad, to do most of the judging and it is evident that they will have their hands full at each place. Don’t sit down and wait for the last minlite to come, but go out in the Aelds and select something. Let’s all get to gether on these fairs and demonstrate our ability to co-operate and pull to- g*ether for a better agricultural com munity. Sign-Up 'Month Sept. 15 to Oct. 15. The above dates have been desig nated as sign-up month over the en tire state, and there are just a few in Moore county who have not signed the co-operative contract for the cot ton and tobacco associations. Don’t wait and have me to come and preach a real sermon before you sign, but make it a 50-50 proposition and meet me half way. That is the great trouble now with the farmers—they wait too long to consider a good pro position and accept too quickly a bad one. Every one has had enough time to consider for himself but there is a great tendency to stand back and “ see what the other fellow will do.” Its up to you—not the other fellow. Never marry a girl who ,is not afraid of a mouse, unless you want to play second violin. CAMERON ROUTE 1 Mr. J. Currie' Shaw was a San ford visitor one day recently.
