One thing to remember; This is the
time to go all-out to produce every
thing that you are equipped to pro
duce. Costs of production will be
high; but prices are not apt to go
down much; controls or no controls.
Don't forget to live at home—a dol

Columbia, March 3.—Forest fires!
in South Carolina caused more dam-!
age in the last seven months than in
the last seven years, the forestry
commission said here yesterday.
John R. Tiller, assistant state for
ester, described the situation as “crit
ical.” He pointed out that there were
52 fires burning yesterday and that
the week’s (fires destroyed 34,406
acres of woodlands.
Tiller reiterated a plea that no
brush or trash be burned until the
woods' have been dampened by rain.
He described forests as “powder-
dry, all set for an explosive situa-
tiom that could be precipitated by
high winds.”
53 In Newberry District
Fifty-three wild fires raged
through 626 acres of valuable woods
in the Newberry district during the
last seven days of February, accord
ing to E. L. MiddlesWart, district
forester of Newberry.
The greatest fire loss during this
period was suffered in Laurens coun
ty where 13 fires burned 306.4 acres
while Saluda county had only two
fires burning 6.6 acres.
Every citizen is urged to notify his
county ranger, plow a wide fire line,
and have plenty of help available
before doing any burning.

Rep. Harold Cooley (D.-(N.C.)
chairman. House Committee on Agri
culture, teed off last week in a “fact-
and-flgures-laden statement” against
those who wrongly inform the pub
lic as to farmer prices. He said, “un
like manufacturers of automobiles,
tractors, shirts and millions of other
products, the farmer does not place
a selling price on his commodities.
The marketing of farm products is
one of the great free markets left
anywhere in the world. The farmer
produces commodities . . . and offers
them for sale ... he sells for what
ever the consumer thinks its worth
and willing to pay.”
He emphasized the fact that farm
ers have no control over the process
ing, handling, and marketing charges 1
and the whole sale and retail mark
ups placed on a commodity after it
leaves his hands ... there is no deny
ing that these charges contribute
substantially to the retail prices
against which consumers complain,
he pointed out.
The statement also compared net
income of American farmers with
non-zlgricultural income in the
United States following World War
II. “Non-agricultural income con
tinued upward from $164,575,000,000
in 1947 to $185,722,000,000 in 1948;
$185,980,000,000 in 1949; and $798,-
