Messrs. Lee Grffin and Raymond

vote they turn his v. ay, and the two
are redoubling their efforts to secure
ilia election. This is one way Con
grcs.iiven have of remembering their

they all make it a point to distribute
their entire alluiment of government
seed. Uesides seed, the Congressman

"Let each crop pay for Itself,"
seems to be the motto of most of the
farmers this year, neeotding to Mr. J.
M. Niven. of Waxhaw, who was In
Mnni-oe Thursday. "Though liiion
county fanners made more money last

rn. "erv few are paying cash for
their fertilizer and supplies. Many
of them have money in the bank, but
I refer to buy on' lime. Oihers are
not so fortunate, having put their
earnings in automobiles and other
luxuries." Mr. Niven also said the
demand for fertilizer in Waxhaw was
tllltll' ecedented. He thinks farmers
are resorting to heavy fertilization to
combat the labor shortage.
"George Washington owned the

NO FLACE FOR SCRUB STOCK
Animal li Wasteful of Feed and Own
er's Labor Pure-Breds Ars
Worth More to Keep.
(Prepared lv the Vnlt-'rt Slates Depart
, ment of Am n-iilture.)
Scrub live stoek Is no longer fit for
perpetuation In th I'nlted States. A
scrub Is wasteful of feed and wasteful
of its owner's labor. The scrub animal
has served Its purpose ns a connecting
link between the old obsolete method
of farming anil new progressive meth
ods. Thousands o? farmers In this
country already have discarded scrub
stock und are better oft beenuse of
that decision. Pure-breds are worth
more to keep nnd are worth more to
sell. The scrub nnlinnl has been use
ful ns a connecting link, but our Him
from now on should be to make the
scrub extinct and to make It the mis
lng link so far ns live stock is con
cerned. That cannot be done immedi
ately, but It Is the goal toward which
we should work.
