Under the law, he said, the restaurants have 30 days after the 26th to comply. He said there are “some” restaurants in the county with C ratings and worse, but that they are making an effort to have their premises in shape for inspection before the 30 day limit elapses. s Forecast For Cold Summer As ture’s most penfect food for humans, is milk and that nature’s mbst per feet food (for cattle is lush f^st-grow Equipment for electric hotbeds is dred and Creditors of the said Shel- ! forenoon, to. show cause, if any they mpi£- plentiful this year, and Mr. ^Warner, deceased, that they ^ave, why the? said Administration be and appear before me. *'in the should not -oe grantert.' ” Bowers suggests that-growers desif-^ ing grass.

I further understand that certain ( other cold summers have come along! • in conjunction with many dust storms ■ and other causes. - * The above is not saying that 1648 may not witness a cold summer/but farmers and others will be wise to plan upon normal weather, at least so far as temperature is concerned. As to rain-fall, this seems to follow a <^cle and many sections of the! United States are now entering al dry cycle. Crops which can prosper; with little rainfall are to be preferred ‘during 1948. ■ , Importance of Diversitjcalion ! The failure of certain crops duo-: to a wet spring or early frost, or too much or too little rainfall, may be expected almost any year. C)n the other hand, as years go on, each crop failure should be less-disastrous than preceding ones owing to the lessons which may be learned. The impor tant thing, however, which all farm ers and others interested in farm yrops should recognize is the import ance of diversification of both loca- jtion and rotation so that a fair por-' tion of the crops will come through safely whatever may-happen to cer tain other crops. When Purchasing A Farm Now a word of advice to those who are looking for 'farms, but have not! | yet purchased one: Get* a’farm jm the» j central part of Jhe country which is II iiuC-Ukt yattjec^to dry spells or wet i ! spells. Buy a farm equally divided between upland and bottomland, 1 with some Woodland and with an /independent water supply. Before making any purchase, visit the new U. S. irrigation developments in the I southwest. They are worthy of care- jtul study as the sa-callcd'"arid” land is very very rich. The very fact that it has not had rainfall causes it- to retain the mirierals and vitamins Vi'iiich have been largely washed out of much farm land “subject to normal rainfall throughout the cen turies. ’ » GENERAL ELECTRIC PUT LOWERED PRICES \ AHEAD OF OTHER THIHGS Soys South Has Advantages For Dairy Industry The South has certain advantages over the North in raising cattle and producing milk, C. G. Cushman, da- ■ry specialist of Clemson Extension service told a group of farmers at the joint meeting of the Farmers Fellowship club of Oak Grove com- jtiunity. ^ "A mi it! climate affords ri longer growing and grazing season, which mefms less cdst for housing and feed ing livestock,” he said. About 40 fanners wcie present at the meeting, which was presided over by D. E. Brown, president. County Agent C. B. Cannon introduced the guest speaker. * In a technical discussion of dairy fanning, Mr. Cushman sa.d that na- General Electric lowered prices'because we wanted to do our part to stop the present spiral of inflation. General Electric lowered prices on electrical appli ances in greatest demand—because that is where low ered prices on General Electric products will do the most good and have the greatest effect. General Electric lowered prices regardless of the fact that G-E profits are not high—are not at present levels high enough. We did this because we know that in the long run General Electric can prosper only as the people of this country prosper. We believe that producing more goods • for morr> people at less cost is the soundest way of running a business. And we feel that inflation ih this country has readied a dangerous level—for the wage earner, for the man w ith savings, and for industry alike. ' Do you k.iow what inflation can do to you? As money buys less and less, your savings lose their buying power. Life insurance policies dwindle in value. Money saved to take your wife to the hospital.won’t pay lhe hilt when the time comes. Pay checks buy less and lees. Retirement money won’t pay for retirement. This applies to the man who brings home a weekly pay check, to the man with a little savings in the bank or a life insurance policy, and to companies that have to build new plants and buy new machines to fill future needs and provide future jobs. Inflation is a sinister thing. It steals up on a country and its economy in a gradually accelerating two-step of prices and wages—each trying to get one step ahead of the other—and there is no red line to show-when the danger point has been reached. Inflation is like a fire. Once it gets well under way, it can never be checked until everything is destroyed. Sfelf-rustraint by industries and individuals *■ 7. the best check You as an individual can do most by buying less .and saving more—thus avoiding bidding up the prices fur scarce goods. Business and industry can do much r>y lowering prices whenever and wherever ]>os8ible— voluntarily.
