j|fye ^troiD uitH Jems.' i Eatircd at the Post office at NewSnry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. I E. H. AULL, EDITOR. i Friday, March 11, 1921. We received the other <i.v.7 a bulie- j tin from Clemson college giving sug-! gestions for 1921 for the farmers, I we suppose. The suggestions srej good, but just along the line that The Herald and News has preached for / * the past thirty years and more, liaise .your own supplies on the farm and then begin to think about the sur- 1 plus and. the money crops. But first provide for your own household. And you know there is mighty tine authority lor tnat doctrine, cu ijiuvide for your own household, even higher authority and command than Clemson college or The Herald and News, but we mean to provide by growing on the farm what you need for the farm and cut down the J ^ --4-1 4?/v w> n lr A amount 01 "cotton you expect tu maivt. i This cotton situation seems to be so serious that the president of the press association is now writing letters to the editors telling them just what The Herald and News has told the farmers of this country for the past thirty years, reduce the/ acreage of cotton and grow on the farm what von need to suddIv the farm, and a little more so as to provide against j ^ accidents. Maybe we did not tell it in such strong terms so as to make the impression it should have made, but certainly we have been telling it for lo these many years. We have put it this way, and we would do the same thing just now, first grow all you need for the sup. port of all the people and the stock you have on your farm, and then grow all the cotton you can regardless of the price, because if that cotton is yours and you owe no man ar.yhing for it you can just let it wait until you get ready to sell it and if you do ' not get the price you want or think you should have why just throw the cotton in the barn and let her stay there. And the farmers who have been doing that are the ones who are the more readily going to reduce oAwxoera tliie roor WViVWgV VU1W J VMA* The truth of the matter is it would be well if there should not be a seed t of cotton planted this year, and then ' we coq}d find out if tha plan woulc1 exterminate the boll weevil. That is what we have been told, that the only Way to get rid of the boll weevil was to plant nO cotton and sow the land to grain and other crops. Sun- ( pose we all try it this year. The News and Courier correspond ent from Columbia says the legislature was a deflation body. Favored economy and so forth. Well, thamay be correct but they did not de flate very much when it came to mak-' ing appropriations and levies. The levy is bigger than, ever and the ap .propriation the largest yet. < <?> DYSON ~ . a I made a hurried trip to Dyson anc the oki home near by on Friday af ternoon of last week. I wrote tht folk at home that I was coming anc would be glad to have them meet me. and I sent the letter the day before I intended to go, but like a telegrarr I sent from Greenwood to Anderson last year when I was connected with the census, I got there in time to deliver my letter in person, so efficient and swift are the mails these days oi rapid transit. But I was in good > - ' % luck, for my young friend, John Carv ter, was there at the station with his Ford and kindly consented to take me out, and I lost no time. I had not been there for a little more than a month and I maks it a rule to go home at least once a month. I was pleased to find the folk all well and happy. I have often remarked that I am an optimist by nature and inheritance. My mother, wtVia ie> vnnnoror tllSTl n wVlf?lp 1 of. of VTUV ??? J ?wv women I know who have not onefourth the number of summers behind them that she has, said to me that she had about come to the conclusion and had so told my brotherin-law and father that she was going to pack up and come down and stay with me if they did not stop their constant complaining and moaning about the hard times and the low price of cotton. She knew that she would find optimism at my house even if we did not Know wnere tne Dreaa for the next day was to come from. She says she has seen much worse times than these when there was no sugar and no salt and many things ? ? #*? ? ? #$ ? ? ? ? ?
