Ts It issued the following address night: "At a meeting of the board o: directors of the South Carolina sion of the American Cotton Ass ti on on July 1, a request was from the great commercial pape England, the Manchester Guan that a detailed statement be covering the production of cotto America and the various ma bearing thereon, and the abilit; America to furnish sufficient ? crease of cotton to fill the want the world war, it being plainly st that the world will need an enorn increased supply of American cot and that legitimate line of the co industry is intensely uneasy, foll ing five consecutive crops with certainty .of a short crop this y The statement issued by the cei bureau of the agricultural dep ment shows during the present j there has been an enormous deere in the available supply of cotton, demands for raw cotton exceed the supply to a greater extent tl at any time in the last 50 years, pl ly pointing out the certainty ol cotton famine. "We believe that the time is hand for the farmer to take st< and find where he is as to his presi holdings of cotton and the crop tl is soon to be gathered. With five s cessive short crops and with the c tainty of another short crop in 19! it is unthinkable to the average m that manipulators and gamblers cotton can depress the price two a three cents a pound per week, fc such are the facts. "The enormous increased cost production of cotton received serio consideration of the board, it bei: clearly shown that the present cr will be by far the most costly cn produced and that cotton for fata delivery is being sold on the Ne York exchange far below the cost ? production, which will result in for ing higher prices when the mills d mand this cotton.

It was also show] that the European countries, such a Germany, Austria and the Czecho Slovaks, who were large users of lov grade cotton were in distressing neec of some and steps were being taker to get this cotton into these countrie; .through our representatives abroad . .and open up market for every bale .-..of .same. There can be no question '.but that these efforts will succeed. "Our committee was appointed to prepare a statement through the press pointing out to the farmers, -merchants and bankers the necessity of holding cotton, the erection of warehouses, and arranging for the se .curing of competent graders and the ? ...i enlargement of the organization of rfche American Cotton association, and impress upon the farmers, bankers : and other financial interests of the South the vital necessity of joining - with the American Cotton association for the purpose of protection of our . commercial life. ?"It was unanimously agreed by the "entire board that the association 'would cooperate with and render . every assistance possible in the erec 'tion of warehouses in the boll weevil ^section, it1 being fully recognized that >ith the existing world shortage of food crops the demand for the future would be record breaking and that under boll weevil conditions these warehouses would be needed for the storage of these food crops; and that one of the most important duties of the American Cotton association was the diversified agriculture and the protection of the entire agricultural interests of the South. To Care For Distress Cotton. Plans have been perfected by the finance committee in cooperation with the bankers of the state, who ?re large members of and stand be hind the association to take care of all the distress cotton, and both the I small and large farmer will be able to get all advances needed to hold his 1920 crop for a profitable price. "The most thorough and systemat ic campaign ever conducted in the state was arranged to start on July 15 for warehouses, graders and mem bership of the American Cotton asso ciation. Under this plan, it is the con census of opinion that warehouses will be erected in each and every county in the state sufficient to ware house the cotton and other agricul tural products produced therein. Un der these plans the state warehouse commissioner reports over 100 al ready in course of erection. That graders will be secured for cotton markets in every county and organi zations formed to market cotton and other agricultural crops in time to open, cooperative marketing in all of the counties . of the state and the membership of the American Cotton association in this state will be in creased by 30,000 members. "It was shown that mutual fire in swanee companies were no longer experiments but wonderfully benefi cial, safe and sound and it was decid ed to take steps for the oganization ofthe same in the various counties of .the state. Special attention of the business was called to the advantage Of organizing such companies. The organization of a statewide mutual fire insurance company is now under consideration to obtain a low rate of insurance. Save Farmers Money. Orangeburg county is a concrete example of what is now being done in many counties in SouthCarolina. The American Cotton Association of I .Orangeburg county, along with the Farmers Union and Cotton Market ing association, has established a mar ket at Orangeburg that has brought that market from being the poorest] in lower South Carolina to one of the best. It brought more cotton to that market the first seven months of its operation than had been handled there for the 12 months/previous and saved to the farmers wno patronized it from $5 to $50 per bale at a cost of 30 cents per bale. Already Aiken Calhoun and many other counties are ready to follow Orangeburg's exam ple with the 1920 cotton crop. "We earnestly call on every repre ent member of the association to get active and enlist the. sympathy and enroll as many nrembers every fellow j farmer, merchant, banker, business and professional man and all the good women interested in liberating | our fair .la^^pniJme^?5wlavino' ? fluences of those, who would kee^p.j' the Southern farmer in industriar' slavery."-The State*. Peanuts Important Southern Money Crop. Few crops have experienced such a rapid growth in acreage and pro duction as has the peanut during re cent years. And the South is the greatest gaine1*. Unknown commer cially before 1870, the Agricultural Department reports the yield reach-) ed $45,886,000 bushels raised on 1,861,000 acres in 1918. A decided slump in both produc tion and acreage occurred in the past season, with only 1,251,000 acres planted, resulting in a yield of about 33,260,000 bushels. The price of pea nuts was so much greater in 1919 than in the preceding year, however, that, according to the Bureau of Crop Estimates, the total farm value on December 1, 1919 was $79,839, 000, or only $90,000 less than the to tal value in 1918. The peanut market this year thus far has been steady, having neither sudden drops nor abrupt advances as experienced in former years. The rapid growth of the peanut industry has caused a brisk increase in the development of peanut oil, peanut meal, peanut hulls and peanut flour. A national advertising campaign to explain the methods of preparing j raw peanuts should result in'new out- [ lets and should greatly increase the demand for the raw nuts.-Manufac turers Record.

Value of a College Education There was never a time when expert knowl edge was so highly prized and so highly com pensated. i High wages for untrained labor will tempt many a young man to discount the value of a college education. But such an education, repre senting the work of four years, viewed merely as an investment of time and money, is equal in earning capacity to an estate of more than $50, 000. What estate comparable with this can give the parent of average means hope to give or leave to his son? What young man can acquire that much value in the same time at any other business? Education fits one for a life whose possibili ties are limited only by his capacity and charac ter. Eventually for the untrained there awaits the slavery of ignorant and undirected effort. Clemson College brings within the reach o? every young man in South Carolina the benefits and possibilities of a technical education. At Clemson College a boy from the humblest home in South Carolina can prepare himself for a high place in the service of his state and nation. W. M. RIGGS, President.
