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. 'This
year, however, a systematic calipaign
was conducted and the government re

what THE
reage reduction of 28.4 per cent. Some
private reports place the reduction at
over 30 per cent.
"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. Itead of the farmei
asking tIe buyer each fall wh.t he
will give him for'his cotton, the buyer
will be asking the farmer, represent
ed by the co-operative marketing ex

s hipping associations are given be
low.
1. 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

The disease of the tubers is no

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.

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF
DIVERSIFICATION
Clemson College, July 13.-"I have
a farmer who believes so strongly in
diversification that 40-cent cotton did
not change his plans, and he is there
fore in better condition financially
than many larger farmers who pinned
all their faith to cotton." says county
Agent J. 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
