Dillon, 8. C., June 20, 1918 The article in the last issue of The Herald in which it was suggested that the government take some action toward reducing the cotton acreage in 1918 by limiting the farmer to an acre of cotton for every acre of grain planted seems to have touched a responsive chord. Every farmer with whom the editor of The Herald has discussed this proposition seems to be heartily in favor of; k. many oiner men, including bankers. merchants and inanutacturers, who look well into the future, take the riew that it is the only practicable plan to be adopted to save the 1S18 cotton crop, provided the government estimate of 15,000,000 bales tutus out to be correct. Another good feature of the plan, sug- . gested by the News and Courier, is , that it will have a tendency to ease { the labor situation which has become j ( very acute. This in itself is enough to ; ^ commend tne plan to the thoughtful : consideration of all men whose inter-I eats are effected b> the production |, of cotton. There is no peace in sight t. and the longer the war continues the! heavier will be the drain upon the. labor on the farms. So pressing is the need for men ut the front that | Qen. Crowder has revoked his recent j order to pass over men on the farms,!1 and hereafter the farms will not be! spared when men are called to the camps. Six hundred of Dillon Coun-1 t ty's young men are already in the1 h service and the indicuiions are thatby next year this time this number will be doubled. Labor at the pres-' ent time is scarce and by next year i it will be still scarcer. The farmer j 1 must begin to look well into the fu-| ' lure. No longer can he let each! ' day take care of itself. The next year . and probably the years to follow will | t bring him face to face with many se- j \ rious problems, and the best way to j 1 meet those problems is to prepare for < them in advance. Dr. Stackhouse is'. ' publishing a notice in another column of this paper urging the farmers of the county to meet at the court1,, house next Saturday at 11 o'clock 'L for the purpose of electing delegates || to the state convention of farmers toll be held at Columbia next Monday, j June 24th. It is the duty of every? farmer in the county to attend this? -meeting. This is a time when anl exchange of views on the problemsV confronting the farmer will prove off great benefit not only to each >nd^' ( .vidual farmer but the communiy^|ftf) 1a whole.

This is the first time Mr.' | Bethes has entered the lists for governor, but he has made two cam- j palgns for the office of lieutenant- I governor and his position on public I i matters Is quite as well-known as Mr. Cooper's. Mr. McLaurin is one of the oldest figures In the public ' , life of the state, and probably the ; best informed man in the state, but ^his alignment with first one faction , and then the other has left an elejment of doubt in the public mind as : to Just where he stands on the issues | of the day. Mr. McLaurin, however, I is able to take care of himself on I the stump, and even if his record is somewhat vulnerable, he is pretty, apt to make it interesting for the man who digs up the issues of 15 or 20 years ago. Mr. Richards and Mr., 1 Peeples have been affiliated with C what has been known in the past as 1 0 the "Blease faction." This faction! 1 received a severe blow two years ago | ? when Mr. Blease was defeated for! f governor. There have been feeble ut-\ tj tempts to revive the party, but so t far as can be learned the organise-' a tion is lacking in the solidity it has i * shown in previous campaign years, I Mr. DesChamps is not wedded to any' * particular organisation or faction.1 He, like Mr. Duncan, is conducting: what may be termed an independent' campaign. Not in many years have i ^ the voters of the state had an oppor- j tunity to choose from such a number of candidates with such a variety of {opinions. This far ahead it is not ! possible to forecast the result with '' jany degree of accuracy. - That there " will be a second race is a fact which ? o must be conceded, and the contest is ^ not likely to prove, very interesting j, until after the first primary. Mr. u Bethea and' Mr. Cooper are the only It two openly avowed out-and-out an- * tl-reform candidates. That one or the other will be in the second race is j * a fact that cannot be questioned. In! ^ the light of past events, however, it j p is evident that Mr. Bethea would be' j, j the stronger of the two in a second! y race with either of the other five, j s Mr. Cooper is a mighty good man and would make an excellent governor,! * but the Blease faction believes that' if he had not entered the race fori r< governor two years ago Mr. Blease i v would have been elected in the first, primary, and they still hold thisi j, grudge against him. So far as can be! C1 learned the Blease vote will be divid- tr ed between Mr. Richards and Mr. e1 Peeples, and one or the other may w be in the second race with Mr. Be- ** thea or Mr. Cooper, but it is claimed " that neither is strong enough with ^ the party to get the solid vote, and in ^ :hat event some of the Blease vote M A-ould go to Mr. Bethea or Mr. Coop-i yt -r. However, the primary is too far I tl> >ff to make any predictions as many pi hings can happen between now and! ^ he last Tuesday in August to change | PJ ne sianning or me various candi-i lates.

I WHEAT GROWERS TO SET FAIRTREATMENT i Farmer* In This State Will S? Par- ( mitted to Grind Wheat to a Liberal Extent. Columbia.?William Elliott, food administrator for Soutli- Carolina, recently attended a meeting of the food , idministrators of the several states n Washington, at which time the luestkm of grinding wheat in South Carolina was carefully considered and ipvu mi) aumorujr or Herbert Hoover, ederal food administrator, the statenent has been made that the most Iberal treatment, with respect to rinding, will be accorded the growers >f wheat in this state. The exact erms of the instructions to millers tare not yet been determined upon, >ut will be announced in the near ueure. In the meantime, however, be growers of wheat can rest assured . hat the present rules concerning the ] ruornt that a farmer can have ground rill be greatly altered, and that a armer will be permitted to have his rheat grounJ to a liberal extent. 1 EVERYBODY HELPINQ SAVE POOD NOW lot Only the Housewife, But the Men, the Hotels and Restaurants and the Farmers, Have Got the Habit. 1 Columbia.?In the first months of sod conservation, the housewives of be country were often heard to com u ?uu iu hi. ?vn? is me use I ( trying to are food In our kitchens rhen waste on ao much larger scale i going on everywhere?" The men, s public eating places, were partlcuirly pointed out as wasters; and it ras complained that in the manufac- . are of food there was another big \ raste. If this was true several months ago, owever, it is no longer a fair comlaint. The men of the country, both i business and in private, are doing heir part, in a patriotic way. to conerve the world's food. Since the increasing need of saving 'N rheat has been made pjain by the >od administration, many hotels and Bstaurants all over the country have oluntarily pledged themselves to do ithout wheat until the next harvest. And now an effort is to be made to icrease the coming wheat harvest by leaner threshing. It has been esti- . _ 1 lated that three bushels of grain in f rery 100 bushels threshed can be ^ ived by better, methods. Where c rain has been exceptionally poorly ? ireshed as much as 10 per cent haa m me into the straw stack. To correct lis waste has become very impor- I ,nt in view of the nation's war needs, id the food administration has this tar established a special grain reshing division to carry on a camilgn of education and to actually tip the farmers of the country to -eperly and to thoroughly thresh eir grain. Still another effort to increase the ' rur output during this crisis is b<^ g made by urging farmers not /i0 id over any of their crop for s'jed. ren if we have only a normal, crop ere is little fear that any risk-' would i ran in not holding over r e?d for ixt year's sowing.

Federal food administrations n all the states are also being iuitructed to see that manufacturers of issentlal food products requiring tugar take the first opportunity of nillding up their supplies.
