This committee consists of ,
Wannamaker, D. M. Crosson, 1
Tuten, G. L. Toole and W. 0. 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.
"The matter of agricultural lab?
is a most serious concern to the ei

tics show the certainty hereafter .<
an even far greater increase in tl
expense of producing cotton, the fe:
tilizer for 1921 being sold out i
.record breaking prices.
"The enormous earnings bein
-made by the manufacturers both i
Tiome and abroad and the fact th?
the cotton producer is unable to pr<
?luce cotton at prices being paid an
compete with other lines of industi
impressed upon the board of direc
tor the necessity of issuing a state
ment of depressing cotton prices tha
has ever existed. 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

Mrs. Linda Harrod Endorses Cham
berlain's Tablets.
"I suffered for years with stom-j
ach trouble and tried everything I
heard of but the only relief I got j
was temporary until last spring I T
saw Chamberlain's Tablets advertised
and procured a bottle of them from
our druggist. I got immedaite relief]
from that dreadful heaviness and
pain in the stomach after eating.
Since- taking two bottles I can eat
anything I want to without distress'

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.
