J. G. Moody, Jr. . Mayor of Barnwell. Tuberculosis ranks fourth among the diseases as a cause oi death i7r South Carolina. It ranks fourth as a cause of death in Barnwell County. According to the records of the Bu- L, -iu of Vital Statistics, 19 persons "died from this disease n Barnwell 'ounty last year. This would indi- ate. according to stati-tical authori ties.that there were more than 190 ac tive cases of the disease ii. the county in 1923. Further investigation will re- Whether it is cheaper to rent than to buy a farm in this State is a prob lem confronting the farmer today. Interesting data bearing on this much-discussed question has just been made available by the Sears- Roebuck Agricultural Foundation: A government survey covering 77 farms in Barnwell County on which cash rents were paid showed that in 1920 the average cash rent was $3.33 per acre and that the average valuation per acre was $#1.00. This means a gross return to the owner of 8.1 per cent. In the case of other farms in this county which were rented to kinsfolk, the cash rent was $2.10 per acre, which amounted to a gross re turn to the owner of .5.9 per cent on the rated value of his land, which Was $36.00 per acre. While these figures may not apply with equal force to individual farms in the county, elaborate tests in most counties have shown them to be cor rect. Furthermore, while it is true that these figures are based on 1920 reports ami land values in most states have fallen materially since that time, it. is believed that cash rents have fallen in approximately like pro portion. The ratio between rents and land values given above may theie fore be taken as applying to the pres ent year. State and local taxes in most States, are somewhat higher than in 1920, consequently—the net rent income i$ usuallv veal that very few of these patients are undej- treatment and that ma ty artrJiv-ing in close contact with mem - bers of their families and neighbors v thou* takii'.g any precautions what ever.
