Also rye, rye grass and crim son clover and wheat. The card lists the recommend ed varieties, rate of seeding, date to seed, fertilizer rate per acre at seeding time and amount of top- dressing per acre. This card is available free at the county agent’s office and can be tacked on the wall of a building for future reference. Nitrogen Coat Chart Also the Clemson College Ex- tion Service has available free upon request information card No. 83, entitled, “How Much Does My Nitrogen Cost?” which lists the names of the various nitrogen fertilizers, their per cent of nitro gen, pounds of nitrogen per ton, cost per ton and the cost per pound. * At a glance at the chart a per son can tell which source of ni trogen is the best buy. Top-Dreat Winter Grazing Farmers who have not applied top-dressing to temporary or per manent grazing should do so at once while high temperatures are with us. Grazing of grasses or grain is a good labor saving system as the animals furnish the labor in har vesting. Hold Farm Meetings Two farm meetings for white farmers have been scheduled for the showing of a new motion pic ture entitled, “Price and Future of U. C. Cotton.’” The meetings are being held in cooperation with S. C. Gambrell, vocational agricultural teacher of the Gray Court-Owings high school, Mon day, November 12, at 7:30 p. m., and with W. E.

W. Harder eign imports. While trade con spiracy Is illegal, there seems to be enough conspiring of Amer icans against Americans for FTC to get exercised shoot before taking up possible conspiracy of Americans against foreigners. • • * Out on the West Coast there is a substantia] industry in the catching and canning of tuna fish. A little over 25 years ago a few pioneers saw the opportu nity to bring to the consumer a high protein sea food. * • • Bat tans production did not really hit its big stride until after the defeat of the Japs. 0 0 0 And that was when the Japs started invasion of the American market. No one seems to know Just what the volume of Jap tuna in the U. S. market really Is. Surveys show in areas as New England, Jap tuna is ac counting for half the volume 0 0 0 For several years the Amer ican industry has been seeking relief through adjustments of tariff rates as obviously Amer ican labor rates cannot compete with 7c an hour Jap labor rates, o 0 0 The result has been in this year alone American packers have re duced prices as much as 40% in a frantic effort Just to keep their brands on the market in compe tition with Jap Tuna. * * « There is also this added handi cap. American packers must pack tuna according to rigid .sanitation laws by both federal and local governments. Jap packers are not so hindered, oo-o So far, no one seems to know Just who got the FTC to take action. Surety-U. S. packers did not complain on each other. * * « So It appears to boll down to two possibilities. One Is that a couple of the huge grocery chains in the nation who have been posh ing Jsp tuna under labels they control may have complained to the FTC. o*o Or it is possible, some feel, that someone deep in the labyrinths of the State Dept, may have in fluenced FTC to take up the case of Jap interests versus American enterprise. Possibly, unless either some champion of free enterprise such as Rep. Wright Patman, or Sen. Edward Thye get either the House or Senate Small Business Committee to investigate, it will never be known who initiated this action. 0 0 0 It la difficult to abed light on behind-the-scenes maneuvers. • o* For example, it makes little difference what anyone thought, or thinks nowof Sen Joseph Mc Carthy. For long the senator was apparently obnoxious to some; strongly supported by others. ooo But it la iignlficant that despite the outcries against him, a toa of bricks was not dropped on the Wisconsin senator until he an nounced plana to Investigate the State Dept. From that time on, sporadic, unorganised outbursts turned into a concerted, organ ised drive to stop McCarthy. Hosiery mill. Saturday was a bug day for the kids.
