(jasper farmers ] ABANDON COTTON I Ridgeland, May 28.?Jasper couni ty farmers are no longer depending ' v.?.nv. "King Cotton" for a living. ! This year there are not over 100 ; acres, if that amunt, planted in cot; ton throuhgout the entire county, I for the fanners have learned well i the lesson that the boll weevil and | low prices that if they are to make '<<1 living they must tijrn to other crops. As n result truck farming is claiming the farmers' attention, many acres of trdck having been ! planted and already marketed. Watermelons are looking fine and it now appears that shipments can be made by the first of July which will be about two weeks sooner than | usual. The sweet potato crop is the ' largest being planted, several thousand acres having been planted this year by local farmers. Already a potato curing house has been erected with 10,000 bushels capacity. The farmers as a whole have little ready money but practically owe none and having learned to live at home are in better condition as a whole than ever before in the history of Jasper couaty. If diversification of crops make progress in the next year as rapid as it has in the past, fro see cotton growing will be a cariosity in ' thi? section of the state. ID BUSINESS jreenwoodL S. C.

SEVERAL MILES OF STRINGY SPAGHETTI FOR CARUSO New York, May Z7.?.several1 miles of spaghetti for the personal j use of Enrico Caruso and his party, have been placed &n the steamship, President Wilson which will sail to-1 morrow for Italy with the famous', tenor an board. Caruso is not "carrying coal to' New Castle" for there is a reported j shortage of spaghetti in his homeland. ! i PASSING OF DEFLATION CRISIS; New York, May 28.?According to figures which have been submitted to the federal reserve agent here the dollar in youT pocket is worth | just thirty-one cent more than it was a year ago if you "use it to make purchases in a department store in this territory. Forty-two leading department stores in and around New York have submitted comparative price lists to the government, showing reductions; as compared with May, 1920, which' range from 15 to 48 per cent. . The figures are regarded as an-j other evidence of an early return to j nomal conditions and prewar pros-; perity, though financial experts; doubt that the low level of pre-war prices which prevailed in 1913 will' ever be reached tgain. Further retail reductions are expected to come gradually. Raw materials have dropped in many cases | over 100 per cent, but labor cost is only now beginning to show a light reduction. The manager of the largest de-j partment store in New York com-} menting on the report of the federal' reserve agent, said today: "The so-called crises of deflation j has been safely passed. Secretary of! Commerce Hotffer has already point- j - ed this out. The-dowering of prices j is a healthy, normal sj^n, pointing! I to general prosperity. I believe that wholesale prices are down slightly more than 30 per cent as compared with this time last year, j You will understand that my opinion is conservative If you look on other figures. The U. S. bureau of labor has set the reduction at about 38 per cfent. I beiieve the federal reserve board has suggested 41 per cent. "Although retail prices were never as high in proportion, as whole sale prices, they have dropped on an average more than thirty per cent, "Professor Irving Fisher of Yale has pointed out that we will p.'ob aoiy never go oacK w pre-war p. ices Generally speaking, pr'cc.5 in the United States are now approximately only 50 per cent higher than in 1913, while in Canada, Great Britain, Australia and Japan they are said to be nearly twice as high. In | France, I am told they are three 1 times as high, and in Italy six times. 1 I do not think there will be any further material reduction in either ! wholesale or retail prices of commodities sold by department stores funtil labor coats are lowered if there is a general reduction of wages, prices will unquestionably go somewhat lower, but I think it seems fair to assume that prices are now nearly a stable level." Here are some of the actual reduc tions in prices, comparing the retail figures in May, 1920, with those of today, on goods of identical quality and desirability, and showing how much further your dollar will now go: Women's suits, reduced 34 per cent; Men's suits 30 per cent; women's millinery 32 per cent; women's CUUWIl IWBlCTjr I vcuw, nvuivii ? i silk hosiery 35; silks and satins 48;] cotton dress goods 43; woolen dress goods 36; women's shoes 43 per cent men's shoes 3 per cent; children's shoas. 36 per cent.
