I. APPELT-------------------------------------------Editor F. M. SHOPE -----------------------------------Business Manager I'UBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY. WEDNESDAY, JULY 11, 1917. Economy is in full swing in the new bathing costumes, and field glasses are much in demand. It is openly charged in congress that th : Council of National Defense is letting contracts for war supplies to its own members at exhorbitant prices. But what else is to be expected when the council is composed of the very men who control the output of this country? THE FARMERS AND FOOD CONTROL. An illuminating side light on the food situation is con tained in some expressions inserted in the Congressional Record recently by Senator Smith of Michigan. 'T'hese were from farmers' organizations and individual farmers, and they without exception endorsed the food control m '!asu res before congress. 'These expressions give us a pretty clear idea as to whence come the present panic prices. We are told with great unction that this is the first time in our history that the farmer has received for his products what they wevre really worth. But let us see. What is the obiect of food control? Whence comes the insistent d1 , ..aid? Plainly, the de manl is the direct result of foc ; prices that are out of all proportion to wages and to ;>rices in every other line. Is it reasonable to believe that if the farmers were re ceiving anything like the present retail prices-minus, of course, a reasonable per cent of middlemen's profit-that they would be not only willing but anxious to kill the goose that lays the golden egg? The plain truth is, the farmer is not benefitted by the present high prices of food in any degree to recompense him for what he is injured by extravagant prices in other lines. He is paying vastly more for every purchase he makes, from a plow point to a tractor engine. What he gains from his small profits on his sales of food stuffs is more than offset by the enormous increase in the cost of eurything that he must buy to operate his farm. This the farmers know, and this is why they are, almost with out exception, heartily in favor of government food con trol-a control which will establish a minimum as well as a maximum price. The speculating food pirates will have to hunt some other scapegoat for their sins instead of the farmer and his "interests." [HE STATE Of SOUTH CAROLINA, COUNTY Of CLARENDON.
