Crawford South Broad St. at Armory Phone 10 shapes the thought of British inves tors, .asked editorially more than a month ago: "Is America now to be afflicted by all the horrors of a business depres sion?" When this disquieting thought was voiced, the decline in the London market had barely begun. Since then every sector of the market except government issues has been in .an uninterrupted slide. In the New York stock exchange prices on the average have see-sawed in the past two weeks after declining to the lowest level in about a year at the end of February. . Declines in Wall Street brought sympathetic tumbles here. British financiers and government officials alike have long said that Britain! could hardly avoid the effects of an other U. S. depression. But. in addition, England is going through the same post-war pains that are now gripping the U. S. ec onomy. Some industries have run into the shrinking markets. Inventories are catching up with long depletions. Supply is now outstripping demand in some significant sectors of the British economy. Retail supplies of food, liquor and clothing have stacked up enough so that business has returned to the pre- 1 war pattern of seasonal booms and slumps. Retail sales fell 25 per cent January from December. CM rf.. you want roominess- Cj .r -that lots you ride roluxod and romfortaldt* mil,* after milt*!

Program Helps Corn Production Clemson, March 22. — A 5-point program recommended by the Clem- £ son college extension service is help ing state farmers increase corn pro duction. The program emphasizes thorough seedbed preparation, more plants per acre, adapted and certified hybrids,, more liberal fertilization and shal low cultivation. "Only three hybrids are recom mended by Clemson for 1949,’’ H. A. . Woodle, agronomy extension work Teader, said. They are N. C. 27, a yellow hybrid suited to the entire state; Dixie. 17, a white hybrid outyielding all oth ers but subject to weevil damage; and Dixie 18, a new yellow hybrid that resists weevil damage and stands up well. Dixie 18 seed is very scarce, however, Woodle added. County farm agents throughout the state are conducting variety demon strations this year. They will show how the new hytorids compare with the best open-pollinated varieties. r ^ Robert E. Wysor, III “■Service Beyond the Contract" GENERAL INSURANCE REAL ESTATE R. E.
