CROP CONDITIONS ABOVE LAST YEAR Large Increase In Acreage to Win* ter Wheat?Hare Makes Report j Saluda, May 17.?The bureau of crop estimates 01 wie ui?n^u department of agriculture has made known through the office of its ag cultural statistician for South Cari lina the following announcement with reference to crop and live stock condtions in the state as of May 1. The acreage of winter wheat is es timated at 168,000 acres, conditions 84 per cent of normal, total produc tion being 1,835,000 bushels. This represents an increase of 8,000 acres over last year but 17,000 acres less than in *1919. The acreage to be I harvested for grain in the entire United States is estimated at 38,-, 721,000 acres in 1920, and 49,105, 000 acres in 1919. Condition of crop is reported at 88.8 per cent., forecasting a production of 629, 287,000 bushels compared with 577,,763,000 bushels last year and 729,503,000 in 1919. * wo in Thftt.p is the Acreage vi ijv ? ? same as that of last year, (24,000 ; ' acres), condition being 85 per cent of normal. 1 About 86 per cent of the plowing necessary for spring planting was completed by May 1, compared with 1 67 per cent on the corresponding 1 date of last year and a ten year 1 average of 84 per cent. However, germination has been very poor and : much cotton is being planted over. 1 The early plantings of corn were 1 seriously injured by frosts in April 1 and the low temperature during the 1 past ten days has caused much cot- ' ton to die. ? The mortality of live stock was probably lower during the past year than for many ye$rs previous, due Jargely to mild winter and disap pearance of the cattle tick. There > were some local outbreaks of hog cholera, but timely inoculations di rected by county agents prevented wide spreading. The number of livestock out of every 1,000 which died from disease or exposure during the past year was as follows: Mules and horses, " OA. 4-4 irom aistras*; wme, iiviu u>o ease,20; from e"?osure, 10; sheep from disease, 14 and exposure 9 fj swine of all ages, from disease, 45.

'So says Mrs. James Randolph, club-woman and head of the Eaton County League for Reforming High School Girls. A "Manual of Manners" has been prepared by the league, Mrs. Ran dolph says. It will be supplied to every high school girl in Eaton County and later it is planned to ex tend the work of the organization to other cities The manual, which contains forty two pages, deals with everything from a "come hither eye" to eating two pieces of ^cake at parties. According to the manual how can a girl be a perfect lady if she: Crosses her legs in the street cars or other public places? Chews gum in public? Receives her boy friends on the street comers or in dark nooks in the parks? Powders her nose in public? Tells her girl friend in shrill tones in the movie theater what her boy friend said the previous night? Uses rouge or a lip stick? Toddles or wiggles at dances? The manual says "it can't be done." The "modern Hoyle" also points out to girls that their boy friends are not "Chesterfields" if they? Loll in front of pool halls, flicking admiring eyes at passing girls. Insist on monopolizing a popular girl at dances. Ignore the "wall flowers." Remain at girls* homes after Iff j'clock at night. Dance cheek-to-cheek. Hold their hands in their pockets. Whistle in public.

A commit + ?A n-t twrt frftm ssfcatp was I 1 VCC Ui mu ixvm v?v? ~ ?? named to draw up a campaign to be 3 presented at session of the confer- 2 ence tomorrow. Texas has failed to provide ade- ^ quate measures for confining the f pest within areas discovered in the 1 state, Chairman Marlat of the fed- 1 eral horticulture 'board told the con ference. Unless Texas was willing to i cooperate fully with the other states < he added, the latter would be a com- ' pelled to employ measures to pro- 1 tect themselves through quarantine. < Delegates from Texas disagreed with some of the criticisms, con tending that the question was a na tional one and hta responsibility for the entrance of the pink boll worm from Mexico lay with the federal government and not with Texas. The federal governmnt had control of the border, they added. I L^LramzmizTiirtiTdmniniJiir Min RE These reduct in stock for som< Goods, Clothing, all description for LOOK! READ!
