South Carolina Is not a dairy state. It uses annually about $14,000,000 worth of dairy products shipped In from other states. Somo of this importation is duo to tho fact that while thero Is largo i amount of farm butter pro duced within tho stato, no steady de mand for It has boon developed. For tho purposo of creating an Interest in this farm mado butter, and to teach tho women to mako a better product, contests,, which were open to home demonstration club members wore started during 1921 in eleven ties. 1 Butter demonstrations Were given In all tho women's clubs, nnd all in- trested persons woro invited to a demonstration by th.o. stato specialist at tho county seat. Three hundred sixty women and girls enrolled for Itho.contest8, and of' tlieso 120 s,ent buttor for overy judging. Without ex ception there wns a great improve ment in the packages brought to mar ket and tho quality of tho buttor sold, as the women learned to what extont tho buttor Is affected by the tcm- poraturo UBod for rlponlng and churn ing fetul the foods for tho cow. "Contest butter" sold very readily at tho various club niarkots, nnd those who did not enter tho content woro obliged to mako improvement in tho quklity of what they offered for sale or lose the market for their but tor. Extension workers report to the United States department of agrleul turo that the buttor produced in nil parts of the stato has boen par coptibly Improvod as a result of those contests.

Sufficient bait is proparod to supply tho party for tho day. In tho afternoon, tho party Is divided into pairs, ono person car rying tho bnlt and placing it in the runways, whllo tho other porson uses a prod to locato and open tho run ways. Tho county agent or specialist sponds somo time with each pair, giv ing lnutructlons. All tho infosted area represented by tho farmers nttonding Uio "party" Is covered and poison bait applied.
