TWO GOVERNMENT REPORT SHOWS COTTON 67.1 Columbia, August 2.?The American Cotton Association today gave out the following statement: "The government report shows 67.1 per cent. The American Cotton Association shows 67 per cent. This report being the only correct report issued of all private reports. "Our association is in receipt of a ~ ^ rtttAiur can flood oi teiegrams num tion of the country, and every phase of cotton trade, from, the producer to the manufacturer, asking for detailed information. It being absolutely impossible to reply to all of these inquiries, however, the following state"FAKE" ASPIRIN WAS TALCUM Therefore insist Upon Genuine "Bayer Tablets of Aspirin" IpAYIll^ Millions of fraudulent Aspirin Tablets were sold by a Brooklyn manufacturer which later proved to be composed mainly of Talcum Powder. "Bayer Tablets of Aspirin" the true, genuine, American made and American owned Tablets are marked with the safety "Bayer Cross." Ask for and then insist upon "Bayer Tablets j>i" Aspirin" and always buy them in the original Bayer package which contains proper directions and dosage.

LIVER DIONT DICES S?yi 65 year Old Kentucky Lady, After a Few Dose Meadoreville, Ky.?Mrs. Cynthia Higginbotham, of this town, says: "At xny age, which Is 65, the liver does not act so well as when young. A few years ago, my stomach was all out of fix. I was constipated, my liver didn't act My digestion was bad, and it took so little to upset me. My ap peuie was gone, i was very weaK... I decided I would give BlaekDraught a thorough trial as I knew It .was highly recommended for this trouble. I began taking It I felt better after a few doses. My appetite Improved and I became stronger. My bowels acted naturally and the least trouble was soon righted -with a few j nient is issued: In Poor Condition. ' The general trade has no conception of the condition of the growing crop. It is two of four weeks late; il has a diseased root system; no tap root; has less fruit than has ever eben known in the past twenty-five years. Even with ideal seasons and without insect damage and a late frost only a moderate crop can be made. With adverse seasons we are facing a*crop calamity. On account of the sappy condition of the crop; the lateness of same and the above conditions it offers an inviting field to insect damage. Caterpillars would bring a complete crop disaster. With neither adverse seasons or insect damage there would be more suffering on accunt of the need of raw cotton than resulted in England during the Civil war. In reply to inquiries concerning supply, cotton experts are now working on the cost of production, supply and demand. With the information before us we find that the cost of production will be at least one-third more than last year. Profit For Producer. A minimum price will be set, based upon supply and demand, that will brine to the producer a prfit in line with the profits being made by the manufacturers who are buying cotton at the present prices and are manufacturing it into cloth and yarn, buying cotton .under these conditions will find that he has adopted an exi tremely poor business policy. He ' will never live to see the day when he will have th opportunity of buy ing cotton as cheap as the price now I prevailing. The minimum price of 1 the American Coton Association will be far in excess of the present price. Beyond the question of a doubt the i cost of production has greatly in creased. 1 Preliminary Report. "The American Cotton Association is now making a preliminary report I of conditions, showing conditions of cotton since July 25 up to date. This condition indicates still further dej terioration. Under these conditions I it would be absolutely impossible with j even normal weather conditions and j without insect damage from now on, I to produce a crop in excess of 10, 000,000 bales. The demand from the j world for raw cotton will be the J greatest ever known. It will exceed i supplies now on hand plus the yield from the growing crop under normal conditions by at least 9,000,000 bales. Where will this cotton come from? The spinners found when it was too late they could not spin an imaginary surplus of long staple cotton. We state most positively that long staple cotton the world over has been absolutely exhausted. The manufacturers have an awful amount of goods sold, based upon being able to buy long staple cotton. This places them | in a dilemma as the purcnasers refuse to cancel. They can blame no one except themselves." BILL TO FINANCE COTTON , ? Columbia, August 4.?The South Carolina Cotton is in receipt of the following dispatch from Washington: "The house of representatives has just passed a bill which Would amend in two particulars the existing law so far as to facilitate the carrying of cotton and other non-perishable market_____ m WAS BAD Who Tells How She Was Relieved ts of Black-Draught doses of Black-Draught" Seventy years of successful use has made Thedford's Black-Draught a standard, household remedy.

"Representative W. F. Stevenson, j of Cheraw, who is a member of the banking r.nd currency committee, in' toduced bills looking to this end in i consequence of request from the | South Carolina Cotton Association. "The result was that the banking ! and currency committee reported a , bill which provided for that 'drafts and bills of exchange secured by j shipping documents conveying or se; curing title to goods shipped, and in| eluding demand obligations when se| cured by documents covering commodities in actual process of ship; ment, and also including bankers' ac! ceptances of the kinds described in | Section 13 of the Federal Reserve ! Act' shall not be considered as money borrowed and subject to the provi[ sion that no one person could borrow over ten per cent, of the banks' capital and surplus. ! "Under ruling by the comptroller | in 1917 it*was decided that if such drafts were held by the banks for ' more than a reasonable time awaiting j the arrival of the cotton or other merchandise they become prommissory notes and subject to this 10 per cent. nrr>vision. Under the present meth od of handling cotton, this ruling tied up the shipper of cotton and hampered the dealing in it very seriously. "The bill which has passed the House would make it absolutely sure that as long as the goods are in ship; ment and the draft and bill of landing ! are held together, the 10 per cent, j limit does not apply. In addition to I that the bill amends the law so thai a farmer or merchant may borrais money on notes secured by shipping | documents, warehouse receipts, comj press receipts, etc., as much as 21 J per cent, of the capital'stock of the < bank, provided the warehouse tfe;I ceipts securing the note are worth 1C per cent, above the amount of the i note. "In other words, with ^ warehouse I receipt for cotton for $10,000, ja I man can borrow $9,000 and he can do | enough of this to take up 25 per cent. I of the bank's capital and surplus, inI stead of ten per cent, as now allow! ed. Although the banking and cur, rency committee has thirteen, Repub| licans and only eight Democrats, all ' but one member of the committee vot1 ed for the favorable report when it j was proposed by Mr. Stevenson, the bill, by a majority of 240 or more votes against 40." DON'T PULL FODDER Clemson College, August 7.?A circular issued by the Extension Service several years ago on the bad practice of fodder pulling contains some very convincing facts and proofs that should be considered again just at this time. Experiments on the farm of Mr. David R. Coker, at Hartsville, were the source of the facts and conclusions, some of which are here given. . The results of experiments for four years on the Coker farm show sonclusively that if fodder is pulled when the bottom leaves begin to turn there i3 a loss of at least 24 per cent, in yield of corn. If pulled when three-fourths of the leaves are dry, there is about 10 per cent, decrease in yield. The 1913 experiments showed a decreased yield of 27.3 pei cent, when the fodder was pulled early; and the 1912 experiments showed a decreased yield of 13.1 per cent, when pulled late. But the above represents only a part of the total loss, since much of the loss comes through the effect on the yield of the next year's crop. Seed corn taken from a fodder pulled field is much lower in vitality than seed corn taken from a field properly matured and developed; consequent ly, when such seed are planted a decrease in crop yield necessarily results. And not only will the yield be lowered, but the quality of the corn also, for anything which tends to lower the yield will in most cases cause more inferior and waste in corn An experiment to determine just what loss there would be from planting "fodder pulled" corn as compared with matured seed showed that there was a decrease of 7.2 per cent, in yield; and there was 12 per cent, of rotten corn, as opposed to 2.5 per cent, in the other, which means a total loss of 16.7 ver cent, from the use of "fodder pulled" seed. Add to this 16.7 per cent loss the vrst effect of fodder pulling (24 per cent, decrease in the preceeding . year's crop), and you have a total loss of 40.7 per cent. Is it surprising that the yield of corn in the South is so small? | What is the answer? Stop pull1 ing fodder. Plant more hay and stop ' pulling fodder; but to those who feel ' that they must pull fodder, let this I 1 1 T _X 1 1 X J.1 De said: ljeave at least two ur wuree I ! acres of your crop unpulled from 'which to select your seed corn for ' the following year, so that you may ' keep up the quality of your seed and '.not suffer the second of the two lossj es set forth above.
