After taking a few bottles of this grand somach tonic I felt much better, then soon I had a good appe tite with no longer a worry about in digestion or other stomach troubles. “My little girl had no appetite and as a result she seemed weak and ner vous and looked pale.

At Clemson’s recent Farm and Home Week, County Agent Hop kins came forward and received the Grassland Farming trophy that was presented Anderson county by the National Fertilizer Association. And Hopkins tells me that the Borden Milk Station at Anderson is receiving from 23 to 25 tons of milk a day. This far exceeds their early expectations when the sta tion was built and the milk routes started a year or two ago. • • • Nenmatode Control Works County Agent McCord tells me that the treated areas in tobacco fields matured normally during the past dry hot summer while adjoin ing areas not treated against nema tode fired and burned and much of the leaf there was lost. King of Marion reports excellent results on tobacco too. And County Agent Johnson of Beaufort reports similar good re sults on tomatoes. This treatment is put down in the furrow at fertilizing time and costs from about $10 to $10 per acre for material. County agents j have the full instructions about its use. You can get them there late next winter when you might wish to get ready to use this material under valuable crops that are af fected by this underground pest. Remarkable results have been secured in home gardens also. Folks To Feed The statistician figures there are two and a half billion folks in the world. And earth’s population is increasing by 25 million each year. eW have 155 million folks in this country, or just a little over 6 per cent of the earth’s total. For every' person we have there are 16 to 16 others somewhere in the world also hunting something to eat. Our population increase is now the fastest of any country on earth. It amounts to 7,000 a day, or 2 1-2 million a year. When We cfime Here, thefe“wefe 800,000 Indians inhabiting the land. They had an average of 2400 acres per person. Now we have 12 acres of land, all told, per person. In the world thers is an average of 14 ac res per person. But ours averages better land than the world as a whole. And we are in the most productive zone. Holland has 10 million people and 6 1-2 million acres of land. That’s only two-thirds of an acre per person. Yet they have a high standard of living. Much of their land was reclaimed from the rich ocean bed, and it is farmed very intensively. These facts were brought out by the famous Dr. Bear of Rutgers at Clemson’s recent Farm and Home Week. They help frame a picture of earth’s future. They show us where* we are headed. There pre few fertile areas to add to ur pres [ ent totals, except rich dry deserts. All deserts of earth are not fertile. But most of ours are. We have 1 150 million acres of that parched land. We now irrigate 25 million of those acres and a vast produc tion comes from them. Dr. Bear says we have water enough to eventfualy irrigate perhaps 20 mil lion additional acres of desert. And likely the future holds the secret for reclaiming sea water so that Tin-: ('IIKIM IAN S< IKM K Momtou Often referred to os "a newspaperman's news paper" the MONITOR covers the world with a network of Nows Bureaus and correspondents..

The colored folks told us it was bad luck to turn i around and go back for something you forgot. That is, unless you made a circle im the path with your right big toe and spat in it. Then the “spell” was off and it ‘was OK to go back. We didn’t brag about good health or good luck, 1 for that was thought to make it change. And many of our folks would not make a posi tive statement about what they were going to do or what they promised to do. It was thought that this was taking too much au thority in their own earthly hands, our future being with a Higher Power. Such statements were us ually prefaced by a phrase like this, “Lord being willing,” I will do so and so. Regnery Fights Density Cotton Washington, Spt. 22. — Walter Regnery of Joanna, S. C., chairman of the American Cotton Manufac turers .Institute today explained the institute’s opposition to mak ing high density cotton deliveries on future contracts. As head of the Institute's cotton research committee, Regnery said if the Cotton Exchange Monday voted to permit this new type of futures contracts to go through, it would become a source of new headaches for thfe American textile plants “Once compressed, high density cotton cannot be readily restored to standard density and conse quently it is non-acceptable to most mills which do not have the specialized equipment for its pro cessing,” Regnery explained. He pointed out that the average mill already has heavy investment in complicated “opening” and cleaning machinery needed to pro cess normally baled ^cotton. In most cases, textile plants would' not have floor space necessary to install additional sts of machinery. Other Institute members also are alarmed over the prospect of mar ket chaos that could result should high density cotton be deliverable on futures contracts, the textile information service stated. Change Is Re jaded Nek York, Sept. 22.— Members of the Ne wYork Cotton Exchange today rejected by a vote of 179 to 114 a proposal to make high dens ity cotton deliverable on cotton fu tures contracts. The members acepted another proposed amendment to the by laws, however—to extend the daily trading period by one-half hour. Beginning Monday, Sept. 29, trad ing on the exchange will close at stead of at 3 o’clock as at present. 3-39 p. m. (New York Time) in- The vote on this amendment was 227 to 14. High density cotton results when the fiber is tightly compressed under extra pressure into very hard -bales. The rejected proposal would have compelled mills which buy cotton for future delivery y) accept high density bales. Since more cotton can be shipped in limited cargo space when the compressed bales are used, export- man’s available fresh usable water fers favored the high density plan, might eventually be unlimited. | However, many American tex- Over the non-desert portions of tile manufacturers opposed it, say- our country we have a vast yield i n g accepting cotton in such form potential to add to our production with supplementary irrigation. We must feed our growing millions mostly by vertical farming, not by lateral expansion. That is, yields must be pushed up rather than acreages out. And both experi ment and experience sho wus that a vast frontier lies there. Clemson is experimenting and the county agents are demonstrating the new facts in the field. OOO Fall The cicadas are buzzing their last tunes of summer. Soon they will be heard no more. The night call of the katydid and the crick et will be silenced by the frosts of winter. The leaves will stage a riot of color, turn brown, and fall, leaving bare trees to stand against the cold winds that blow. Growth will case from the soil, and all of Nature will take its rest. As these things are happening, it’s time to bum out the cihmneys, clean and ready stoves and fur naces, lay in the fuel supply and see to the fall grain acreage. • • • Boys Are Thai Way Kids often develop funny habits.

A tawny finish is achieved by applying light oak stain, followed with a thin coat of beinge paint while it’s still wet. When the wood is dry, finish in the usual way with wax, rubbed well. Use soap and water to clean the garden hose, as dirt will deterio rate the rubber: If stubborn spots remain, sponge with dry cleaning fluid and wipe dry. White lead paint is good for coating top and bottom edges of storm doors, If left unprotected by paint, moisture will rot the wood. Make certain the paint is dry be fore hanging the doors.
