' OCTB WILL OOa IN J TOBACCO CROP. , X Action Taken on Anfkorttjr Voted by 1 Convention of Association i Lnet Week. \ A reduction of 23 1-S per cent of i the 1921 tobacco crop, compared with1 that of 1920, waa determined upon Monday at Florence by the executive ^ committee of the South Carolina Tobacco association, acting upon authority voted it by the'convention of the association there last week. Enactment of a compulsory tleing and grading law is expecte^ to curtail further the production, as T. Benton Young, secretary of the association, stated according to the statement of the committee. Immediately upon passage of the rnanlntlnn fnr rmliiAHA. Af#ieial */* t vviuvitVUi Vft* IWtm UV" tlco Wt? sent to North Carolina that her Bister state is with her for the betterment of the tobacco industry. The wire to F. D. Carr of Wilson, as follows: "Executive association of state association today passed resolution to reduce tobacco acreage in thlB state by one-third also favoring passage of law forcing grading and tieing which means another large cut in production. This bill will likely pass. Committee feels that this state will bQ keeping good faith with her sister states in this movement on this basis in view of the fact that we cut over 18,000.000 pounds last year, and we call upon our sister states for faithful performance of our mutual obligations." Probably thQ best indication of the reduction sentiment in South Carolina lies in the information which the secretary placed before the commltijl & wee? ?t>talned U in a con sub of the ?^^>here last week. Of thoBe atf 1 ceeeOthe meeting 23 6 expressed /' an?1>i>?''ve8 on reduction, with the -^.ng results?six for 50 to 100 \ /tent, reduction; 119 for 50 per V. flat cut, one for 40, 21 for M 'J 1-3, eight for 25, one for 20, 58 daurh/ or cuttinS but not stating any lives 1 >m?unt, 13 did not express themsel.es, and seven favored two to two y and one-half acres to the horse, yj- Steps were taken also to get en/ acted into law a bill now pending in the general assembly to compel tteing and grading of tobacco in South Carolina. In urging the support of this measure, W. E .Lee, of Titnmons. ville, submitted an interesting comnarisnn hptwpon retnrno nf tnhannn crops in North and South Carolina, for the past ten >ears. Including a phenomnal return in 1919, when North Carolina averaged 51 cents above South Carolina, the northern state has received $38,714,000 more for her crop than the southern state. Other years. North Carolina has received an average of five to six cents per pound more than 3outh Carolina. On this basis, excepting the unusual year, Bhe would have made $13,367,000 more than this state. A special committee on ways and means to effect this program and to v watc h legislation was appointed. (Members are B. F. Williams of Darlington, chairman; S. B. Poston of Johnsonville; W. E. Lee of Timmonslille; C. O. Dixon of Mullins; T. Benton Young of Florence, secretary. The legislature will be asked also, upon adoption of the grading and tieing act, to adopt in South Carolina | the North Carolina schedule of wareI k house charges, which are a reduc .tion. Tvl, Besides adopting these very special fie policies, the committee stressed I the fact that tobacco planters if they hope to make anything on their crops this year, must turn their attention wholly to quality of production, and not to quantity. Where 1 available, also they urge using home grown seed of successful types. I Three important resolutions were passed. One of these requested the I general assembly to invite Mr. Aaron Sapiro of San Francisco, Calif., who . spoke here last week and made a most impressive presentation, to address the legislature on marketing ' legislation. Another' extended sincere thanks to the extension service at ? Clemson college, and recognized Dr. W. W. Long, director, as "of invaluf able service to his state and one 11 tinn whnni wo are itenenHinc fnr | leadership in helping us to solve our serious problem of marketing." The } other one, in full is as follows: "Whereas our production questions have in a large measure been at least temporarily solved, and whereas, it is urgent now, to look to and emphasize more the question of developing the marketing side of agriculture. "Be it resolved by this executive committee of the South Carolina Tobacco association and the organization committee of the Tri-State Cooperative Marketing association that the extension forces of this state be called upon to exert every effort in that direction; and that we meraorallze the legislative delegations from the tobacco counties that the usual appropriations for this extension service be taken care of by fc th0 legislature now m session.

The hint was a good onp. and the song went into the acts. On learning that the actors were singing his song, this thoughtful young man. so the story goes, sent around a case of that same stuff to the homes of each of the actors. It is said that nearly every actor In the country now wants to sing the song, and the boss of the young man Is trying to think of some appropriate medal to he struck In the honor of bis live wire.?New York Sun. The Best Informed. The matron of honor at the wedding had twice been a charming widow before she married her present husband. During the preparations for the wedding she had kept much in the bachground lest some one would twit her on being experienced In weddings, but at the ceremony she came out with flying colors determined to outshine ! the bride In receiving attention If possible. And she got It, too. The ceremony had proceeded without a hitch until In the middle of one of the responses, when the little bride forgot. She hesitated, stammered and then was silent. For a minute every one was disturbed and then one of the ushers leaned over to the matron of honor. "Prompt her, Marie," he ordered in a whisper loud enough for most every one to hear him.
