'IENERAL SUGGESTIONS AND CROP RECOMMENDATIONS '61ogon College, February 21.-The ni n Service representing Clem I lege and the United States Ue artment of Agriculture is advocating 6 year principles in farming that a lways p roved sound even under Sabnoril conditions of the last ears.. The principles in brief are Soilbuilding through the use of cor crops, legumes, livestock, and eto rotations. Economic production in ased on large production per aorp this eans fertile soils.

Many of om white landlords now practically live at home while buying Western foodstuffs for tenants. This system should be corrected and the entire farm made self-supporting. The attention of far. mers is called to the fact that the in creased freight rates will add greatly to the cost of imported foodstuffs this year. 3 After the above has been plan. ned arrangements should be made foi the economic production of the sur -plus or money crops.

Will you save v ANK & TI this year It Is parti-ularly necessary to live and produce crops economically. IAs one county agent has expressed it, "This is a year to patch up, fix up and go ahead." Closely associated with economic production both for the market and for home use, and are two important lines of progress which the Extension Service is promoting. These are. First, the skillful selection and use of purebred seed by tommunities and counties. Second, the improvement of out livestock by the use of purebred sires, and an increase in number so as to in sure the necessary improved livestock on each farm to supply the needs for milk, butter, eggs and meat, and tc utilize the food crops resulting from a diversified farming program. Farmers who are growing any money crop for the first time are urged tc plant only experimental acreages. In planting crops for home use fudl ac reage should be planted so as to insure adequate production even under poor crop conditions. Cotton The situation now existing in the cotton industry is unlike anything we have ever seen before. During the war Central Eruope was not i customer for our cotton but produc: tion was curtailed so that notwithstanid ing that fact, prices were maintained in keeping with costs. Cotton grow ers generally believed that following a cessation of hostilities Europe would demand a normal supply of cotton, The following figures are quoted frow the Market Reporter published by thc United States Bureau of Markets un der date of January 29, 1921. World's supply of cotton at close of 1919-20 season (July 31, 1920) -------- 5,846,0( World's production season 1920-21, --- ------------ 19,788,0( ,Estimated world's consump tion for season 1920-21 provided consumption con tinues at the rate so far ------------------- 13,166,25( Total world's supply for sea son 1920-21-. ..-- 25,62-1.004 Estimated world's supply based on above provision July 31, 1921 --- ...... 12,457,751 'This would be the largest "carr: over" ever knwn, being 4,105,75( bales more than the previous record which was 8,352,000 bales in the sea son 1914-15.

HOW DOCTORS TREAT COLDS | AND THE FLU First Step in Treatment Is a Brisk Purgative With Calotabs, the Purified and Refined Calomel Tablets that are Nausea- I less, Safe and Sure. I Doctors have found by experienco I that no medicine for colds and influ- I enza can be depended upon for fullef fectiveness until the liver is nade thor- i oughly active. That is why the first stop in the treat ment is theonow, nausea less caloinel tablets called Calotabs, which are free from the sickening and weakening effects of the old style calo mel. Doctors also point out the fact that an active liver nmy go a long way towards preventing influeia and is ono of the most Important factors in en abling the patient to successfully with stand an attack and ward off pneu mneit in. One Calotab on the tongue at bed time with a swallow of water-that's all. No salts, no nausea nor the slight est interferenco with your enting, pleas. iro or work. Next. iorning your cold has vanished, your liver is active, your system is purified, and you are feeling fine, with a hearty appetite for break fast. Druigists sell Calotabs only In original senled packages, price thirty flvo cents. Your money will be cheer fully refunded if you do not find them delightful.-(Adv.) 31, 1920, the world's consumption of cotton was 10,366,165 bales. If con sumption is as great for the corres ponding period this year, there will still be left a "carry over" of 9,866,208 bales on July 31. 1921. We believe that the general econ omic condition of the country makes a marked reduction in the acreage of cotton necessary. Under a safe sys tem of farming very few farmers should plant more than one-third of their total cultivated lands in cotton. This holds good for normal conditions, - not merely for emergencies. Every |farmer should study the question of I iaereage and should work out some'sys .;tem of crop rotation suited to his soils and needs. County agents can be of assistance in recommending sys teis of rotation for particular farms. The foilowiing is a three-year system which may be changed in minor ways to suit particular farms: First year--Cotton followed by a crop such as crimson clover or abbruzzi rye. Second year-Corn with cowpeas or velvet beanls. Third year-Small grains followed with cowpeas, soy beans, peanuts, etc. Sweet Potatoes it is the 0'pin ion of the Extelision Service that sweet potatoes as a cro) for home coisumption, and in a con servative way as a cash crop ,should be incluled in the prograin for 1921. I The South Carolina Sweet Potato Growers' Association now has an ef t1ficient system of marketing sweet po-1 tatoes in effect in this State, and the aimad for 1921 nov appears to be good. Cr Corn iLand left idle on account of de I crease(l cotton acreage slouldl be planted largely to corni. It is one of the safest crops which can be grown in South Carolina. The nev freight rate fromli the corn belt to South Carolina makes the price of im ported corn in this state higher than ml anp other poducing section. in ay oher Peanuts While the very lowv price of peanuts 1for' the past, year has been very d is Icouragmng to the growers, it should be remiembleredl that this price is dlue to thehevyimplotationl of vege'table olfrmChina and Japan, and that Ieven this decrease in price is not. in as great proportioni as the decline in then pice of cotton. We believe that pea nuts still dleserve conservative conls id.. eration in the 1921 program. Oats Where fa rmer's have' not been aible toI put in a cr'op of' oats, we b~el ieve that ti still time to plant ont giood land with; a r(easonable (epanee of ma~k Tobacco grower's in this state hav inl the pa1st growvn this crop witha view of securcintg t he largest possible qaity.
