Greatest Exhibition . j I Of Them AH Will Be ! ? :. Held b. S, Carolina "B^prcre-r And Better" In Every Way? The State Fair Is Scheduled For October 2.1-26 By BEN E. ADAMS (Specially Written For The State Fanner' ^ Section) j Indications are that the South Carolina i Stat*. Fair this year will be the greatest ex- { Mbition held in the Palmetto state in many. years Definite action has been taken to brim* j together strong classes of dairy cattle ana j other livestock. Increased otemiums have | been offered and the dairy class opened to I the worki. One of tlie outstanding authcri- j ties on the Guernsey ana Jersey breeds has teen secured to place the ribbons in the! dairy show. The premium list of the State Fair -ias j jus' been issued end will be sent to farmers and cattle breeders in the two Carolinas and , > In manv other states. The fair will be held et the State Fair ( grounds at Columbia the week of October to 26 and is expected to draw the largest attendance in the past six years. Usually fine amusement attractions have been secured. South Carolina's State Fair is one of the oldest agricultural exhibitions in the United States. It is known as the "show window of South Carolina" and in recent years has truly become the one place when the entire state meets one week in the year. Able Management For ten years the fair has been under the able management of President D. D. Witcove and Secretary Paul V. Moore. Despite unfavorable economic conditions in the state and nation for the past five years these oliiciah have pushed ahead and have giver, the people of the state a fair they could be proud of. Mr. Witcover is a merchant of Darlington. He has long been interested in the agricultural and livestock interests of the state and has given liberally of his time in making t.re Stat- Fair an institution worthy of the name. He has mapped out a progressive program 01 nvr?ar>c:if>n for the fair and plans to make many improvements in the buildings and grounds during the coming year. Mr. Witcover is prominent in the public life of the stat and is a member of the very important1 Santee-Cooper Authority which is < xpected to develop the $37,500,000 water power and navigation project on the Santee and Cooper] I rivers in South Carolina. Another important figure in the official! life of the State Fair is A. Frank Lever, v:ce I president and holding an important position j in the Farm Credit Administration. Mr. | Lever is a former member of congress and was at one time a member ot the Federal m?? t T2/\or/9 onruvnf-.mpnt. nf PrSSi rctlH- U'^au wj t*t,fv***v***v?v v- , dent Woodrow Wilson who was his personal friend. Paul Moore la Main Spring Actively engaged in handling the fair and devoting tlie greater part of his time to the promotion of the institution is Secretary Moore who is a farmer of Spartanburg county. Mr. Moore has long been engaged in lair work and came to the state fair in 1924 as ad'isory director. The following year he was made secretary and has occupied this position since. He has a year-round office in an office building in Columbia and shor'. ; before the fair opens, moves his headquarters D. D.

Outside of good breeding the next important problem for the dairyman to consider is the cost of feeding his animals. The man who produces the met of his feed stuffs is the dairyman wh i has the la.-gest bunk account and the brst credit. It is a known fact that milk is produced cheaper in the summer than during the winter months This, of course, is because the cows are on pasture. Succulent Feed Necessary For winter feeding we must supplement our pasture with a succulent. Our best winter pasture in corn ensilage. The use of ensilage as a source of succulent winter J feeding is widespread and the economy of I its use is rarely questioned. Ensilage should be fed liberally during winter months. Many fanners are feeding ensilage during the entire year at a profit even with plenty i of pasture in summer, and when dry weather affects pastures, those with ensilage seldom feel the effects of dry weather.

Ensilage is succulent and palatable. It is a good substitute for grass in winter and a valuable supplement for pasture in summer. Our experience shows an acre of corn that will yield ten tons of ensilage to the acre when fed to dairy cows in the form of ensilage will produce about 400 pounds more milk than if the corn were fed in the dry stage. Every feeder of eight or more cows should provide himself with a silo of some kind even-though it may be only a trench silo. The trench silo has its place with the small producers. It is a known fact the trench silo was tne nrst uuiiwuia iucu for storing green cut corn which is now known as ensilage.

I Butter was imported freely until early ill June but since then production has been , gaining as compared with normal and surplus stocks have accumulated in storage. At the same time prices have fallen quite rapidly altho'.'jh at present they appear to ee fairly well stabilized. Much of the butter producing country n -d j a severe drought last summer and product on was extremely light.

The government has been purchasing m >_t erate amounts of butter and this has tended j to sustain the market. To a large degree, tne trend of the butter market during the next ' few months will be influenced by the quanI tities of butter purchased for relief purposes. ! If these purchases are heavy, the market I will probably remain steady or advance; if light, there is a possibility that surplus stocks will cause a decline. 23 Million Pounds Of Butter Were Imported in Six Months Period New Zealand, Argentine, Holland, Latvia And Lithuania Send Quantities T. U. S. ', New York Correspondence The heavy imports of butter during the winter and spring months this year has revived agitation for an increase in the butter tariff. Wisconsin producers have requested an increase in the tariff and more recently Peter G. Ten Eyck, New York State Commissioner of Agriculture and Markets, has requested the tariff Commission to increase the rates. imports ciuiing tne iirst six montns tins year were approximately 23,000,000 pounds. These are the heaviest imports in many years and possibly the the heaviest on record. Imports arrived in large quantities from New Zealand, Argentine, Holland, Denmark, Latvia, and Lithuania. The present tarir its ncr pound but prices in other countries were so low and domestic prices sufficiently high so that it was profitable to import butter. At the present time domestic prices are at levels where importing has ceased and it is. extremely doubtful if much butter can be imported for many months to come.

On Juiy 1 the stocks of evaporated milk m manufacturers' warehouses totaled 285,477,000 pounds. The evaporated milk industry was one of the few branches of the dairy industry that was under code and. on the whcle, the code worked well. Prices were stabilized at a moderate figure and held there for several months. Recently, however, there has been a tendency for prices to decline because of the oversupply. It now seems probable that prices will have to be reduced unless production is curtailed. S31 JNG, Oxford, N. C. . ii ^
