C. —Heretofore—for the past twenty years—there has been only one farmer in the Williston section who raised any wheat. John N. llarfksinon, Sr., of White Pond, just across the Barnwell county line in Aiken county, has always raised enough to supply his family with flour.

AUGUSTA, GA. hardly a farmer —hardly a white farmer, to say the least —throughout the Wil liston section who has not sown grain— wheat and oats. More than 150 bushels of wheat for planting have been shipped to Mr. Hankisnon’s station. White Pond, alone. Around Willlston the farmers have planted in like proportion. There will he a harvest of winter grain in the spring, and even though wheat advance even higher in price than it has already gone, the price of flour will have no ter rors for the people of this section, for they will have made their own and will have wheat beyond their needs to market at the fancy prices. The new year has found the farmers of this section with their faces turned confidently toward the future, deter mined, as a rule, to make the most of the changes which a peculiar necessity Let me send you FREE PERFUME Write today for a testing bottle of ED.

In other words, they are instead of be moaning the fact that they cannot de pend longer on all cotton, planning to put in other money Crops, but first to make their farms self-sustaining. Here after there are going to be more live-at home farmers in this section than ever before. Farmers Making Ends Meet. This is the season at which the small farmer who depends on cotton and cot ton money begins to feel the pinch. At this season of the year he usually finds it necessary to go to the bank or to the supply merchant and draw a little ad vance money to tide him over until he makes his arrangements later on in the early spring for ’money on which to make a crop. This year he is drawing no advance money, at least not as a rule, and he finds that lie is getting along pretty well without it. While a few months ago when it r»e came apparent that cotton would not bring the cost of production the average farmer was unable to figure out now no was going to manage to pull through, lie is managing it capitally. He has gotten over his scare. Hardly a farmer in this section who has not a shoat or two. corn in his crib, potatoes, chickens and eggs, plenty of firewood, feed for his stock, and a few hales of cotton either n the warehouse or on his place. Got Ten Cents for Cotton. A good many farmers in this section got ten cents a pound for their cotton. The Farmers Union Mercantile Company, a co-operative concern operating a big supply business at Willlston. paid its customers ten cents for their cotton, and although it worked a hardship on the company, which still has a tremendous amount of cotton which Is being held, it has served to strengthen the Farmers’ Union, which has already proven a most beneficial factor in this section, and. as a matter of fact, throughout Barnwell county. Business has suffered at Willlston as it has suffered elsewhere, but merchants report improvements, a steady improve ment. and say there are signs of reviv ing confidence. In other words, the pendulum has begun to swing backward. There is a not inconsiderable trucking industry in this section, and one money season is not far ajyay. The restric tions which have been placed upon the cotton acreage will have the effect of in creasing this year the truck-growing in dustry. PLUM BRANCH NEWS Plum Branch, S. C. —The rains for the past six weeks have made our roads impassable and materially af fected our trade. Our precinct went 72 to 12 in favor of the new county and if the legisla ture grants it a charter we may look for better conditions in this ection, especially in our roads, as we will be within six miles of tile county seat (McCormick). Mr. C. L. Harper, one of our popu lar townsmen, returned from the hos pital in Greenwood Wednesday night on the 6:45 train, after an operation for appendicitis. Judge Harling, a veteran of the civil war, had a stroke of paralysis Sunday and is in quite a critical condition at the home of Ur. J. 15. Adams, where everything possible is being done for him, hut with little hope for his re covery, as lie is quite an old man. Mr. W. H. Harling, the genial cash ier of the Farmers’ Bank at Edgefield, was over this week at the bedside of his venerable uncle, Judge Harling. We had four new famlles to move down from Anderson county and buy homes near here the past two weeks. Our close proximity to the county seat will make our farm lands more valu able and naturally attract new blood and develop much of our idle lands. GOLF AT FRISCO. San Francisco. —Charles T.
