It has become the fashioniMhle thing for the smart set to attend footliall games for charity, | join unemployment committees and get their names and pictures in the pap<<r. Several million dollars has been rai.sed, with the result that every tramp and drifter in the country it beading for New York as fast as he can go, to get some of the easy money that is being handed out to any'body who can pull a pour face.

S. R. DDRROH, tf Aud’tor, Lajre.is Couitty. "A» li%du»try l*ro»ptr»..So /*ro*prr TS« Back to the Farms / • /. Fitfures recently announced by the Federal Bureau of Census make the startling disclosure that in the United States we have lost 2.3'. of our farms during the past 10 years. South C'arolinu, according to the same report, has lost IS.l'.. In 1930 we have in South Carolina 34,799 farms less than in 1920. It is alarming to note that South ('arolina has sustained the second largest percentage loss, and the second largest loss in total number of farms in the South Atlantic Statert, and is third in the entire United States in the total number of farms aban doned. Such a condition constitutes our serious problem of today. It presents a rhalh :tge to industrial, financial, commercial, politi cal South Carolina. Cotton manufacturers recognize the problem. They deplore the wholesale mr ement of population from the farms to the mill \’11lages. i They are so deeply concerned that they believe the future of the cotton manu''ac( uring industry In no small way is depend ent upon Jhe rehabilitation of the farm^ and a re-establishment of confidence in a':riculturei. • With this definitely in view, the cotton manufacturers have frequently encouraged the production of a better grade of enroll pwwrmowpr prof it fhU haaia, ^vatb hntlar tmwi that a ihatler nrtoe Jram the milla.mav he iuatified. 1'he AMociation •»'<i ir set-policy, cooperated witK CIrmson College in this direction. The mil la have persist t^ntly encouraged farmers to return tq- the farms. « 'There should unquestionably he a distinct movement back to the farms. The cotton manufacturers would to a man be in thorough sympathy with such a movement. Curtailed production has necessitated a surplus of labor in the mill vi|lage.s, and while doing everything possible to alleviate the trouble, it is entirely unlikely that cotton mills will be able to offer employment in 1931 to anything like the number who worked for the mills in 1929. Sympathy, however, cannot solve the problem. Constructive action is necessary. Serious thought, confidence in the future, and a well defined program of agricultural revival is required. . ~~ The cotton manufacturers call upon land owners, bankers, merchants, law makers, in fact the public at large, to help solve this, the serious problem of ouTr state. -— Comw Manufacturers’Association y SOUTH Carouna 'l Si S,
