n McBEE PEACH GROWA ERA ENTHUSIASTIC. Clemson College, May 31?The peach growers around McBee, in the section now coming to be known as the Carolina Fruit Hills, are very enthusiastic over the prospects for a good crop this year and ovej- the prospects for permanent succeed Mth peaches in that section. Tiae Extension Service horticulturists report I that there are now about 240 acres of peach orchards in the McBee community, 180 acres of which are new orchards set this year and 60 acres of old orchards now in full bearing and with a fine crop of fruit set and developing. T.ntont rpnnrtu ?ro that th_ lo?? cold spell, which killed much fruit in various parts of the state, did little damage to the McBee peach orchards; in fact, some of the trees seem to have been benefitted by the cold weather, which helped to thin the to? heavy crop. To further insure a fine quality of fruit many trees are being thinned following a thinning demonstration by the Extension Service horticulturist. Some most encouraging advance prices have been offered the growers by the buyers, these prices running as high as $2.50 per crate f. o. b. McBee plus one-half of any amount roceived over $2.50 after deduction of expenses. It now seems assured that not only at McBee but also throughout the sand ridgie section of the state commercial peach growing is to become a permanent and prosperous phase of farming. * COOPERATIVE SELLING IN ALLENDALE COUNTY. Allendale, May 29?Another Illustration of the way ip which South ^Carolina farmers are learning to . ^ profit by co-operation comes from Allendale county. County Agent Robertson in a recent report calls attention to the successful outcome of his latest shipment of hogs and the successful operation of an egg circle. In regard to his shipment >f hogs he says that the day on which the hogs were loadedfor shipment a local buyer was present and made a bid, which was not accepted. The car was shipped and netted the farmers who made the shipment 1 1-2 cent per pound over the price offered by the local buyer. The county agent concludes his report with this significant remark: "In the future I do not expect to have any trouble in getting our livestock marketed co-opera- , tlvely." A dozen cares have been r ' shipped co-operatively from Allen dale county this spring, a fine rec ord * former all-cotton county. In connection with the borne demonstration agent of Allendale county Mr. Robertson reports also the organization of an egg circle at Barton. The first shipment^ was on May 5 ' wben there were 90 dozen eggs brought in for shipment. These were handled by the agents and only a few were found unmarketable- The .eggs netted .27 cents per dozen, 1 though at that time eggs were selling & iin Allendale, the county seat at 12 1-2 cents per dozen. The organiza' tion and operation of this eggs cir- 1 1 cle is one of the good results of the 1 Barton Community Club and County Agent Robertson makes this signifi- ' P cant statement in closing his report: "Our community clubs will soon demoust rate to the people that they are fl worth while." ffc o More Relativety. * (Letter to the New York Herald.) To the Ne'w York Herald: As the Object of test questions is to arrive at :a person's common sense I will sub mit one that our great grandfath?ers used to argue until they almost came to blows over it: A hunter sees a squirrel on thej trunk of a tree and tries to shoot it. As fast as he moves around to get a a good shot the squirrel moves [ around also and always keeps the tree betweei^iiniself and the hunter. ? TMnallv tlw hunter notices he has I Iked all the way around the tree. Did he go around the squirrel? The answer in J.he little book from Ich I quote is. "No, he did not."

The figures are regarded as an-! other evidence of an early return to; normal conditions and pre-war prosperity, though financial experts doubt that the low level of pre war prices which prevailed in 1913 will ever be reached again. Further retail reductions are expected to come gradually. Raw materials have dropped in many cases | over 100 per cent, but labor cost is only now beginning to show a slight reduction. The manager of the largest department store in New York commenting, on the report of the federal reserve agent, said today: "The so-called crisis of deflation has been safely passed.
