? ? ? HARRIS COMMENTS % ON COTTON CROP I "The farmers may be looked upon as a trust if they counsel and agree to reduce or curtail acreage given to cotton next year. Yet the financial trust of this country can curtail credit all it pleases, under the heading of "deflation." Therefore, suggest to the farmers that instead of curtailing their cotton acreage next . year, they merely deflate it," says Commisioner Harris iit his Weekly Market Bulletin. "Let's get the 1 VT * > i ?e Styie. i>o nayseeu uuamcss ivi no. We can see fancy words too. Let's deflate our cotton crop and make the rest of the world as miserable over the lack of cotton as they are trying to make us feel over selling cotton below the cost of producing ' it." Commissioner Harris says that if the farmers will warehouse their x cotton and get the merchant to take payment for debt in cotton receipts hen the merchant can carry the receipts to the bank and square their accounts, and in that way a whole lot of debt paid and the title and * ownership of the cotton remain in the name of the producer until he gets ready to sell it at a favorable nrice. Commissioner Harris declares that if the farmers of the state do , not sow oats this fall they will be doing a great injury to their state and to themselves. This is the time when the necessity for small grain crops is most pressing. It will act as a balance wheel for a cotton crop and atHhe same time will present the necessity of buying grain at an advanced price from the. producers of the West. ? The state department of agriculture has had numerous requests recently to inspect oats in carload lots shipped into the state. Commissioner Harris declares that the buyers should in every case have a distinct contract as to the grade of oats expected and should always buy subject to inspection. This applies ' to hay as well as to the oats. Some dealers in hay have had trouble be-i cause they bought without permis-1 siOn to inspect, and Grade 1 Timo- j thy sometimes turns out to be weeds i ajid stalks and straw With hay. It pays to take every precaution in buying feeds from outside of the state. $ Most of the seed oats shipped into' the state are in good order, but some that are chipped to Georgia an reshipped into this state are found to contain Johnson grass seed. Commissioner Harris urges the dealers ' and buyers to look out for this kind of oats for the Johnson grass, or Means grass, is a pest in an oats field, authough in a meadow it beats the world for hay. While the guest of a farmer's club in Aiken county, Commissioner Harris inspected a number of cotton fields infested with the boll "weevil. He found that the weevil had not only punctured the tender young squares, but actually had bored into the bolls and had eaten / out the hearts of the' seeds and there deposited the eggs which make the grub that make more weevils, and so on until the whole country is over run with the destructive Constipation Causes > Serious Ills . T , NR Today?Keep One of the world's greatest scientists says that more than- 90% of all human ills can be traced directly or indirectly to constipation. How many sufferers realize this?

Washington, Sept. 30.?Warm and | dry weather which enabled cotton to j open rapidly and the harvest to : make good progress during the week | ended yesterday, the department of agriculture reported tonight in its 'weekly crop bulletin. The cotton crop made very good ' progress in Tennessee, the bulletin : said. The bolls are all open in central and southern Georgia and Dick j ing has been completed in many localities, but in the northern portion ! of the state still is blooming. Some inmprovement was reported by the department in late cotton in North Carolina, but no material I change was indicated in South Carolina. In the latter state the department said weevils were doing much I damage in the central and southern portions and were increasing northward toward Lancaster county. The crop made fair to excellent j progress in Oklahoma and fairly I good advance in Texas, a fair top | crop being indicated in Oklahoma j and also in many sections^ of Texas. ;The warm weather and light rains 1 A vVoneop wnra in !

George H. Hodgson, Vice president of the company ,in announcing the reduction, said the lower cost .pf raw materials was ^he cause. "The price reduction is effective now." he said. "It will not reach the people until spring, when goods we are now manufacturing are placed on the market. 1 BIG BREAKS IN WHEAT WERE RECORDED TODAY Chicago, Sept. 25.?Big breaks in the price of wheat took place today largely as a result of agitation for a general cut in food cost. The smash of values in wheat amounted to as mifch as 12 3-4 cents-a bushel and the market closed on a semi-demoralized condition, December delivery at $2.25 to 2.25 1-4 and, March 2.15 to 2.16. In sympathy with the weakness of wheat other grain markets ( also gave way, and both corn and oats fell to the lowest price lewk. ^et for the 1920 crop. tieretoiore, wneat -nas Deen advancing despite setbacks in the price of other grain. The chief reason ascribed for 9uch strength 'was huge sales of wheat for export to Europe. Today, however, -the stimilus of export business appeared to have lost its influence and especially near the end of the day, s the wheat market tumbled wildly downward. > COST OF A CHURCH WEDDING lv Ernest Poole in "His Second Wife" (The Macmillan Company.) With memories of weddings at home and of her dreams for one of her own, which she had planned so often, she begged Joe to let her be married in a church, and Joe gave in good naturedly. He went to a minister who had a small Presbytetian church on the next street. There he soon arranged to be married. But then, in his ignorance of such mat ters, Joe said in his blunt off-hand ways: "I like to settle these things ahead so if you'll just name the amount ?" he stopped. For th? clergjonan straightened up as though at an insult. Joe reddened. "Look here," he blurted, "I didn't mean?." "Oh, that's all right." The other man was smiling queerly. "How long have you bden in New York?" he tasked. . "Nine years." "Ever been inside of a church?" "No, I can't say that I have." "Then why do you want to get marrie ere?" Joe smiled frankly. "The f bride's idea. "I thought so," '^aid the preacher A glint of humor came into his eyes. "You asked me what it would cost to get married. If you'll gc down to the city hall, it will cost you exactly $2. But if you care to bi married here?well, tjhere' an old scrub woman I know who for nine years every Sunday has come tc this church and put a quarter in the plate to keep this institution going for you. And 4f you care to use it, il will cost y.ou just what it has cosl her. Figure it out and send me a check, or else go down to the citj hall." STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA COUNTY OF ABBEVILLE.
