HO The Coui eyes Watch i COTTON FARMERS HAVE SERY[D NOTICE TO WORLD Columbia, July 11.--The reduction of 28.4 per cent in the cotton acreage this year as shown by the govern ment report issued on Friday, shows the temper of the cotton farmer in the opinion of R. C. Hamer, president of the South Carolina Division of the A merican Cotton Association who said yesterday that if the farmers did not receive a fair profit for their crop this year there would be a much more drasticc cut in the crop next year. "Our formers have served notice on the wod that they are tired of grow ing cotton at a profit to everybody else but themselves," said Mr. I1am er'. "They have cut the cro, this year over 5,000,000 bales and if this does nct bring then. a fair price they are going to make a much more dras tic cut next year. It is my believe that unless this year's crop brings a fair prcfit this fall that next year not one-h:li of a e'r'op will be raised. "In the o -.st the threat of the South ern fiar rer to reduce his acreage has not been taken seriously and " whent the American cotton association liunched its camipaign this year for a reduct ion there were many who smil ed an(d recounted many past effort along the sme line, practically all of -which had resulted in failure.

"It would really seem that the cot ton farmers are profiting by their bit ter experiences of the last year. Not only are they decreasing their pro duction of cotton but they are plan ning to market that which they do grow along the most scientific lines. A co-operative nirketing association is being formed in each state (if the belt. There will be a working agree ment between them all so that in the future there will be no rush of cotton to the market in the fall but instead the supply will be regulated to meet the dem.-nd.

The producer receives a great er net return, since he gets the mar ket price for his livestock less actual marketing cost. This is particular ly true of the miscellaneous stock, such as canners and veals, as it is not often thaL shipment of such stock is made. 2. Farmers become familiar with the market, and its diemands as to grades and classes and can govern production accordingly. 3. Farmers learn how to feed and otherwise care for stock to prevent excessive loss from shrinkage, death and injury while in transit. 4. Much time and labor is saved in the buying, collecting and de livering of stock, since the co-opera tive association handles the business through one manage'r. 5. Stock can be marketed when it is readly for shipment without waiting for buyers to see it. 6. In periodls of c:ar shortage the association can obta in cars better then can inrd ividuals. 7. Crippledl stock can lie disposed of at more nary market prices. 8. Higher standards of livestock breeding are established, since farm er shipping good material see that it brings correspondingly higher pr ices. 9. Better considleration is receiv ed at the cenitral markets because of the volutme of business and better iuarli ty of stock hand led through an association. 10. The conmmuity in general will ga in in reputation anrd iminport ance as a live, enterprising, live stock section.

The disease of the tubers is no doubt due to potato scab, but I can not be certain of this without first examining the tubers. Potato scab may be prevented by treating the potatoes before they are planted and by being sure that the ground on which the potatoes are being grown is not infested with the disease. Please tell me about the cabbage snake. Is it poisonous ? Cabbage snakes or "horse hair worms" spend part of their lives in the bodies of other insects and the remainder in the earth. When es U. S.

W. McLendon of Florence. This farmer is J. C. Wiggins of Effingham, who is not worrying at all about boll weevils and who states that so far as lie is concerned it makes little difference if there were boll weevils on every square inch in the county. Mr. Wiggins has sold tobacco as high as $600 per acre and cotton at its highest price, but he firmly states that there has been no better money crop for him than the sweet potato, for during the past four years he has made not less than $200 per acre from this crop. His success will po tatoes has been a great stimulus to the growing of potatoes by other farmers in the county. The crop diversification of Mr. Wiggins as practiced for five years is represented by this year's acreage sesmEEEEEEmmEEEEEI E RM STORES IN OA Clarendon's Store o 'he Store that mad -Is.. i.
