The jindustrial and commercial
South has made marvelous progress
within the past few years and it may
he that a part at least of this pro
gress has been made at the expense
of tVie agricultural South.
Today we find our towns and vil
lages‘crowded, with never a vacant
house anywhere and yet in the rural
tections we find many acres Idle for
the lahjt of laborers.
But who Is to blame for laborers
leaving the farm? Since the Civil
war, this country has been without a
definite agricultural policy and has
been dominated throughout by a pol
icy of Industrialism, and billions of
dollars have been lost to Southern
farmers through the suicidal national
policy of encouraging low price cot
ton .In order that a few manuc-autnr-
rrs might get their raw material at
a low -price.
History Is merely repeating itself—
excess of urbanism was the ruin of
Rome..’ and modern costiliness Is
bora of ovfer development of com-
mercialtem. Luxuries and the wants
of the many multiply and the produc
tiveness of the field falls, for the
want of labor, to keep pace. It will
take more> than a congressional-edict
lo solver the high cost of living prob
lem, it will take a definite and per
manent National policy to stimulate
agriculture to euch an extent as to asm-
sure its growth and prosperity, for
no longer will sensible men toll from
sim to %un only to end their lives
where they began them In penury
and poverty.
’ It it^-very true that farming has
proven profitable during the past
three yeprs and yet it is a fact, borne
borne put by the last report of the
United States Department of Agri
culture that farm work and nroduc-
tiveness Is being seriously decreas-
ed.
The report shows that spring plow
ing and planting for South Carolina
is 17 per cent less than for the past
ten year average, and 11 per cent leas
for the ehtlre United States. Fully
two per cent of the wheat crop in the
state has been abandoned and the
estimated yield is thirty five thous
and bushels Jess than that of last
year, and that of the entire counry
is efitimated at 33 per cent less than
the ciop of 1919-

systemic diseases that come from an
unhealthy mouth aipl infected gums,
throat and tonsils you must sterilize
your mouth and throat night and ,

agreeable and most effective steri
lizing solution called Steroline which
absolutely sterilizes the mouth, teeth J
and throat, penetrating rven between !
the teeth.
Steroline. used as a mouth wash !
