^Should produce
B BETTER TOBACCO
Harris Favors Planting of Higher
Grades.
^ The State :
a , b. Harris, in his annual > port to
^the general assembly, calls attention
to the great Increase of tobacco production
in South Carolina last year
and the decreased returns for the
/ crop. Although the state produced in
L ax cess of 80,000,000 pounds, which
dfcwas 20,000,000 pounds more than
Bthe crop of 1918, the returns to the
F?Woro reduced by $800.000,.
"The loss was in the very low price foV
the cheaper grades of tobacco. Mr.
Harris sucgests to the legislature
that growers might be stimulated to
t produce a better grade of tobacco, if
suitable prizes were offered. Farmers
must depend to a large extent on tobacco
as a substitute for cotton, particularly
in the Pee Dee, and the commUsioner
of agriculture reminds that
such procedure would be both timely
and appropriate. His suggestion foll'ows.
"Is it a coincidence, is it the perL
versity of fate, or is it the result of
W a well worked out plan that South
Carolina in 1919 produced 20,000,000
pouuds more of tobacco than she
produced in 1918, and yet received
therefor $800,000 less? Just at this
I time wheu it is so necessary t0 have
convincing facts and experiences with
which to appeal to our farmers in order
to get" ?hem to avoid boll weevil
1 film that one of the substitute
crops from which we have a right to
expect money was in a measure a disappointment
in 1919.
' "Th average price paid for tobacco
last year in South Carolina markets
was but 20.10 cents per pound,
while for the year preceding it was
33*06. The average for ten years was
*" *- ?J KMurine that
20.19 CtfUlB UUU tuv yimv v? ?
tin*# had gone as low as 7.28, 8.52
and .* *3 I submit that the fa-uiers
of Louth ?arolin did not et eno ;/h
for their tobacco last year, and that
they must take steps to protect
themselves this year?for they must
plant tobacco. There is more reason
for it then ever, the world is calling
*' for tobacco, and the South must not
be satisfied with a 'good' price, but
must have a fair value,
"The 1917 crop brought an average
of 24.09 cents, which was in excess
-of the 1919 crop. The unconvincing
plea of the tobacco buyers
was t'::?i there was no at- and t: j
year for the cheaper grades, and that
is where the loss was felt. I heard
of some tobacco selling for as high
as 95 cents and some other as high
as 75 in quantity, but it was the
cheaper grades that caught the descending
prices. It appears to be in
common sense that there should be
a demand for the cheaper grades.
(Since the European embarg0 has been
lifted th? cheaper grades, it would
appear, should have a greater demand
than they did the year before.
I am willing to admit that the sand
lugs and other cheap grades brought
an unusually good price in 1918, but
that is no reason why we should be
^featisfiecLwith the prices of 1918. I
H&m bringing this matter to the attenj
tion of the general assembly with the
hope that some methods can be taken
to encourage farmers to make bet
ter tobacco, and greater yieias, same
system of prices that will encourage
them."

Beer Loses in Courts.
New York, Jan. 5.?Today's decision
by the United States supreme
court banning 2.75 beer from manufacture
and sale was regarded by <
brewing interests as merely a setback,
not a defeat, and the * ht to
have 2.75 beer adjudged a legal, non
intoxicating beverage will continue.
"This decision affects ' nly the wartime
prohibition act, which .has onlyeleven
more days to run, anyway,"
declared Emory R. Buckner. of the
legal firm of Root, Clark, Bucknerj?nd
Dowland attorneys for the brew
ers. He continued:
"The decisi n certainly does not I

Intoxicating. It is purely an academic
decision.
"Certainly the fight will go on.
'The legal actions which will determine
the validity of the eighteenth
amendment, the question of whether
or not it ha s been legally submitted,
and the point as to whether a beer
which is in point f fact non-intoxicating,
may be sold under it, all
remain to be settled.
"This decision plainly states that
in so far as the war-time prohibition
act is concerned, it is immaterial
whether 2.75 beer is intoxicating or
not, but it does not in any way affect
the legality of the sale of 2.75
beer under the eighteenth amendment.

William H. Anderson, anti-saloon
league leader of the "dryfe" was jubilant.
He said:
"It in very apparent that the liquor
interests will get no relief from the
courts. And we think they will find that
they will not get much from
the politicians, either. The issue la
now a straight fight on law enforcement
against nullification."
