FACTS ABOUT COTTON.
World production of cotton outside
of the United States, for factory
consumption, has averaged 7,138,900
bales a year for the past
10 years, according to U. S Census
figures.
Pink boll worm, the most deadly of
all enemies of the cotton plant first
made its appearance at Hearne
Texas, in 1917. Like the boll weevil
1 it came from Mexico.
Foreign grown cotton to the number
of 682,911 bales was imported
into the United States last year. It
consisted mostly of Egyptians, and
was the largest quantity ever imported.
The number of ginneries in the
United States in 1919 was 22,418, of
which 18,815 were active, and ginned
an average of 602 bales each.
Of the toal of 18,815 active gins
in the United States during 1919 all
but 93 were saw-gins.
Roller gins are used principally in
ginning sea-island cotton and the
lOng-stapIe cottons of Arizona and,
California.
There is now enough cotton in the
world, unspun to last nearly two
years.
The total capacity of gins in the
United States indicates that a 12,000,000
bale crop could be ginned in
a single month. The total engine
horse power employed in ginneries

Bolivar Co., Miss., was the only
country which ginned more than 100,
000 bales in 1919; seven reported
more than 75,000, 25 more than 50.000
and 128 more than 25,000 bales.
The cotton crop of 1919 was ginned
in 887 counties, of which 308
ginned less than 5,000 bales each.
From the year 1900 to the out-;
break of the Great War in 1914 the
number of cotton spindles has iny
creased at the rate of about 3,000,000
every yearSince
1914 the number of cotton
spindles fit for use has been reduced
from a total of 154,000,000 to a total
of 138,000,000, a decrease of
16,000,000 during the six years.
in me uniteu aiaie? mere are
counties which have more than 100,000
cotton spindles each.
Bristol County, Mass., with 7,632,003
cotton spindles, leads all other
counties in the total number.
Rough Peruvian cotton is used to
seme extent for mixing with wool in
the making of wool textiles, especially
imitation woolens.
Chinese and 'Indian cotton is used
to a very limited extent for mixingj
with American upland cotton in the
manufacture of the cheaper grades
of goods.
Nearly all of the cotton consumed
in the United States is domestic upland
cotton.
The term "upland" is applied to
all cotton produced in this country,
except sea-island cotton and includes
the long staple upland varieties.

C. Fields, Florence County Farmer,
Makes Money l>y His Plan
Mr. C. Fields, who lives about two
miles from town on Route two, says
the Timmonsville Enterprise, is one
of the few farmers in South Carolina
who was not forced to sell any of his
last year's cotton crop and yet owes
no man a cent. His idea which has
proven very successful during the
thirteen years he has lived at his
, present place has been to raise all
his family and farm consumes, sell
enough "rough feed," as he calls it,
to pay his expenses and raise cotton
as a clean surplus. He does not plant
tobacco.
Makes Money.
Thirteen years ago Mr. Fields
bought, his present place and went
in debt for $500 on the purchase
price. Since that time, by farming
on a business basis, he has paid off
the debt, built hint a fine home, developed
his land to where it is in a
high state' of cultivation, bought modern
farming implements, built good
fences, owns all of his stock, purchased
two automobiles, lived well,
had plenty, enjoyed life, still has his
last year's cotton crop on hand, and
owes no man any money.
He has taught his boys to be workers
like himself and although he has
only a small farm, when considered
in the light of some of his neighbors'
acres, he cultivated his own
land. He has constantly followed
the plan of raising everything he
needs on the farm he can raise, have
a little surplus left over to sell to
his neighbors, and then putting the
remainder In cotton. The wisdom of
this plan is demonstarted by the success
he has made of farming.
Ideas of His Own,
In conversation with Mr. Fields,
he shows that he has ideas of his
own and is independent of any one
else. "I am a great believer in taking
advice?if given by a man who
has made a success of the thing he
advises on," stated Mr. Fields. "The
fellow who talks about something he
has made a failure on himself, can
keep his advice to himself; I don't
want it," he continued.

COAL, TO BE ABANDONED.
KlectrlcAl World 1? ComSng Boon Says
Wizard Steinmetx.
From Brooklyn Eagle.
Cooking and heating by electricity
is nothing new. Nor is the electrifying
of railroads, nor the operating of
* factory plants by electricity. But Just
at present the cost of electrifying is
too high to revolutionize entirely all
our domestic life.
Dr. Charles P. Steinmetz, electrical
wizard of world-wide reputation, predicts
the day when electricity will be
so cheap that it will be universally
used, when the government will not
allow fires of any kind with in the
city limits, because thfey are dangerous,
dirty and unsanitary; dangerous
because of conflagrations, dirty because
of handling the coal and ashes,
and unsanitary because of the smoke
rantiona. The electrlcaMevelopment
is iitill la its Infancy.*'

and gases in the air.
Will Regulate Temperature. v
He says further:
"No fires will mean no furnaces in
the cellar, no ranges in the kitchen,
and no steam power plants. When
we use nothing but electrical power
for heating, lighting and other purposes,
the supply will come through
transmission lines from big central
stations of many millions horsepower.
These stations will be located
wherever power is available such as
waterfalls, ,coal mines and oil and
gas wells. The will eliminate the
wasteful process of hauling coal from
the mines to the small power houses
now scattered all over the country.
"All these steps tend toward cheaper
electricity. Startling will be the
change when this comes. At present
when we want to keep warm on a
cold day we use a furnace, kitchen
range, the fire place and other unsatisfactory
and unsanitary methods.
In > " *- '
.u mv Duuiiuri, wueu me temperature
is above normal, we are practically
helpless and have to suffer. Electiic
fans give some relief.
"When heating is all done electrically
and I want 70 degrees in ray!
heme I shall set the thermostate at
70 and the temperature will not rise
above that point. This temperature
will be maintained uniformly regardless
of the weather outside. This will
also hold true on the warm days
when the temperature outside may be
90 or 100 degrees. The same electrical
apparatus will cool the air,
and what's more it will also keep the
humidity normal at all times.
Electrical Cooking.
"Then, too, there is ventilation,
which does not exist in the average
home today. At nresent we have in
depend on windows, doorways and
electrical fans to blow the bad air
out and with it we lose,in winter'.niost
of th0 heat we produce in our furnaces.
When electricity is developed
we will have an apparatus for bringing
fresh air into the house, destroying
thc bad air, and recovering the
heat from the warm exhaust air.
"Cooking by electricity will also
be much more satisfactory. No more
coal ranges and a great deal of our
frod eau be cooked on tht. table. This
can also be automatically regulated.
For example, we want to cook a
cake. We know this should be at a
heat of#220 degrees for a period of
4 0 minutes, so we set the regulator
at 230-45 and cease to worry. At
the expiration of forty five minutes
the heat is automatically turned off.
"Entertainment in our homes will
also be improved- There will be no
need to go to some congested, poorly
ventilated hall for a musical concert.
We just push a plug into a base re

cleaner or table lamp, and we can
have the concert brought into our
homes; also the sermon.
"To suppose that we are approaching
a limit is absurd. There is no
more end to invention than there is
to science. Every new scientific discovery
gives rise to thousands of in
