The abnormal farm profits ranging, I estimate, at from four to ten times the average in dif ferent parts of the State. ? 2. The great ; 9careify and high prices of fertilizers, present prices being about 60 per cent, higher than Jasfc’year. 3. The scarcity and high price of food products. This con dition will certainly last as long as the war. ’ ' 4. The presence in our State of the boll weevil, w’hich may be -expected to cover the entire State within two years and seriously affect cotton produc tion in 1919of 1920; 5. The inadequate and con gested transportation facilities by both land and water. > 6. The obligation which rests upon every citizen to loyally respond to the needs of our f government at war? 7 r There is y ahundnnt evidence that many of our people are engaged in a perfect orgy money spending. I was tqki^to day of a large pjuntatjofi upon ‘which the tenants riiad -each made a net profitpf from $o00.()0 to l^oOO.Oo/itud that all of those tenauts . together qould probably bot raise $300.00 in caslixtoday; 'Tlrousands of mules are being ^shipped into the State, and many are laving sold to fanners "who eaiT gqt Itlolig without them.

The rural school selling the greatest number of Seals per capita will also receive a pennant. These pennants are very handsome, and it would be a great hon or for any county, town or school to win one of them. What about our « . n . county ? Let’s get busy and prin these pennants, every one of them, and put ourselves on record as being the best fighters againt. tuberculosis in' the State. Then too*- if we sell enough Seals we can get one of the tubercu losis nurses, who are going to be put on in South Carolina next year. These nurses will visit homes where there is a case of tuberculosis, teach the patient how to take care of himself, teaoh the family how to avoid get ting the disease, and make lectures in the schools on this subject. Many young men have been sent home from ahny camps afflicted with tuberculosis—sdme from this! coun ty—they need our help. Let’s reach down ik our pockets, and buy at least «t)ediundred Seals. This will be on ly a dollar, but a dollar may save a life A Chance to Volunteer. The services of the South Carolina congressmen Kaye been conscripted by Govern or Manning; ? > D, K. Coker/Food Adminis- r trator, and W, W. Long* Far^ M Demonstration Agent? for/the"' ' purpose of presenting to Vhe producing farmers of the the positive need of pla winter wheat at the rate of t acres to the plow. A brief but thorough campaign of has been involved for six of congressmen, who at a fere nee in the Governor's office. OT.by.telephone, have volunteer ed their services in this cam- paign. . Each congressman, it was agreed, should speak within hi9 respective district, visiting' the smaller towns and rural coj. - muniti€s rather than the county seats. The speeches will be both practical and patriotic, as the ever increasing scacjty of wheat nakes it plain that the farmers of eacli section will be forced to grow sufficient wheat to satisfy the needs of themselves and neighbors/Facts and figures will be presented to demonstrate to the farmers that the planting of wheat arthis tinve is not only necessitated by wbrid coalitions. hut it i« also a patriotm^rno. tribution.
