BAt'if FARM BOARD'S PR(KiRAM
In order to avoid, if poaaible, u
rueurrence of the culamity ot 1020
to the South, the time haa come for
mobilizing the organised intelligence
of the South behind the program of
the Federal Farm Board. Without
the cooperation of farmer* and busiiu'hh
interests, it is impossible for
the Farm Board to render its moat
effective -aid.
The opportunity now presents itself
for every business and civic organization
and every banker and business
man, newspaper and local
leader to show his patriotic spirit in
supporting the new agricultural policy
of the Government, and at the
same time serve the best interests of
Vhe farmers and Local business jnen.
These things should be done:
'Bring local business men, bankers,
professional men and farmers into
local meetings and explain facts of
the "Present Critical Situation in
Gotten" forcibly to their attention.
Give widespread publicity of facts
of situation, and activities of local
organization in newspapers. '
Organize local committee to conduct
campaign.
Provide through local committee to
take order* for seeds mid provide
< redlt for purchase of such seed.
Remember 192'!. The Federal
l'apm Board warns against too largo
a cotton acreage the coming -mason.
What- tile Federal Farm Board can
do in lt?:tu for the Cotton Growers
of the South will depend upon what
the cotton farmers do in cutting the
acreage at least ti.UOO.OOO m res,

It always -pains me, when I offer a
man a cigarette, to hear him say in a
self-righteous tone of voice: "Thanks;
1 never smoke." I haven't asked him
whether or not he smokes. I don't
give a darn whether or not ho
.smokes. 1 have merely made a courteous
gesture. And if he doesn't
care for a cigarette, let him say so

reading day after day of the activities
of this generation. What he
wanted to say was this:
"it seems to me that 'everybody

get somebody else to do something
for them. Why doesn't the governonent
do this'.' Why doesn't the
government do that? People seem to

! Murdoch Johnson
; Running for Senate
The last issue of the Aberdeen
, (N. C.) Pilot carries the announce
ment ?>f Murdoch M. Johnson, formerly
of <'amden, as ?t candidate for
the state senate from his home county
in North Carolina. If elected Mr.
Johnson will have the distinction of
having served in lx>th the South Carolina
and North Carolina general assemblies,
and his many friends in this
county will hope for his election. Mr.
Johnson has made good in his adopted
home and is a member of a large
legal firm in his city. In the presidential
campaign, two mepibers of
his firm were avowed Hoover Democrats.
while Murdoch stood by the
regulars and made many speeches in
behalf of AI Smith, lie is held in
high esteem in that section and is
iecogni/.ed' as an attorney of great
ability. I
In making his formal announcement
Mr. Johnson reviews the general
situation in the state and pledges
ins efforts if eleetod to the solution
of some of tiu* problems which
confront the farmer, particularly
with regard to taxes, and also promises
to lend his assistance to the
movement to curb reckless use of th_
highways by uutomobile drivers.
MII.UON COWS NKKDKD
We need a million more cows in
Georgia, according to the statement
of Peter Hahnsen, in his visit to Vi(latin
last week, and Tlie Telegraph
has no doubt he is entirely correct.
Dr. Hahnsen is a veterinarian and
farmer, and ought to know whereof
he speaks, particularly on account of
the long service he has rendered
Georgia as state veterinarian. He is
a German, with all the qualities of
that peculiarly efficient and observing
people, and we can well afford
to li-ten seriously to what he says.
Dr. Hahnsen is of tin- opinion thai
we need this many mwecuus to lake
t are of Georgia's needs alone, an I
! that they -hould not be just "cows."
hut real productive animals that will
: pas f??r their keep ami give a prufi'
to then keeper-. The scientists and
other people who keep up with ?>ur
health assert that every man, woman
and child should have at ica-t a quart
o> good wholesome, clean, sweet milk i
every day as a minimum to keep up
the blood stream to its normal qualities
and enable the body to function
as it should and keep the doctor away.
Such milk contains 15 out of
the 1(5 elements required by the human
body, where as most of our food
has been denatured through cooking
and processing until it contains very
few of the 1(5 requisite elements.
Hut we should make no mistake
about starting in on the dairy program,
as advised by Dr. Hahnsen. He
doesn't mean to go out and buy or
acquire a bunch of scrub cows, without
any feed for them, and expect
to make a profitable business on any
such schedule. A cow is said to re
quire the income from two gallon*
ot iniik to pay for her keep and attention.
Anybody with a two gallon
cow is about breaking even, giving
all the Wo: k that i - dom- in the el'-!

Georgia, we find that it is too expcnsive**to
depend upon. No man is
wise who thinks this plan will work.
1 he great feature jjbout animals is
that they will gather their own feed
if it it grown on the farm where they
can get it. they clean up the fence
""'iips and waste places and get tons
and tons of stuff that is ordinarilywasted;
they do their own threshing
and sacking, and convert this feed
into milk without any freight charges

Would Establish
Memorial Park
Tho Revolutionary battlefield V)f
< amden would be purchased by the
state and turned into a memorial
park, designated us "State Rattle
J'urk," by a joint resolution introduced
in the Senate last Friday by
Senator G. C. Welsh of Kershaw.
The measure was read the first time
and referred to the committee on
finance.
By the resolution, the state Would
appropriate $<5,500 to buy approximately
425 acres, known as the Revolutionary
Battlefield of Camden,
which lies about, aeven miles north
of Camden. With the purchase of
the land, the resolution provides tftaV

THRIFT THOUGHTS
The three component parts of
thrift, as some expeft points out, are:
earning, suving, and spending. Ono
must earn to save, and without earnings
or savings, one necessarily cannot
spend. As thrift week is being
nationally observed, it is just as good
a time as any, to devote serious study
to this subject The mistaken idea
prevails, particularly among young
people, that thrift means niggardly
stinginess or miserly grasping of
money. It means nothing of the
kind. On the other hand, it does not
signify lavish, foolish, sinful tossing
of money, however small or large the
amount, to the four winds of the
heavens. In the world's economy,
thrift is one of the cardinal virtues.
It creates, establishes and increases
a fund which wisely and usefully invested,
or expended, insures more
business, more work, more opportunity
of employment, more wages, more
payrolls, more material prosperity to
build up a section of community.
Thrift conserves, quickens, stimulates
the arteries of industry, commerce
and finance. Without it, humanity,
broadly speaking, would be classified
into two great camps?the wastrels,
spendthrifts and high-rollers and the
hoarder, miser and grasper. -Productive
industry would stagnate and its
plants dismantled. There would
he no business confidence with which
to carry on the affairs of everyday
life. A child cannot he taught too
j early the importance of thrift. And
in the teaching the childish mind
should not be too heavily impressed
with the idea of saving everything.
Once it masters the lesson that way,
the very object of instruction is defeated.
Earn, save and wisely spend.
That defines intelligent thrift.- And
those who practice it will inculcate
a sound sense of values that will prevent
them from living up to the hilt,
with no thought of the morrow.?
Spartanburg Journal.
REAL WEALTH
%
Land is realty, real estate, reai
property. It may be called imj)erishable,
and from it proceed all forms
of wealth. "It is a solid sort of
thing that you cannot lose if you
have paid for it." said A. W. McAlister
yesterday, in an address to the
real estate board. It is real wealth.
It furnishes all the food except a
fraction that comes from the sea. Go
o\i the banquet list, excluding the
P*'-ducts that come out of the ocean,
and everything thereon, whether
meat, bread, vegetables, is merely a
form of the chemical substance of the
soil, wrought upon by the sun. All
the ten thousand comforts, the utilities
of society are in their original
form soil, or that which underlies the
soil
All of which is so commonplace as
knowledge that the amazing thing is
that a society could ever to any ex.
tent forget it. This country has been
passing through a period in which
land, as measured by the universrtl
measure of value, the dollar, has been
depreciated. That is a state of mind;
it is setting up unreality for realty.
It is a sort of mental disease^
It is a setting up of false dettni|
tions; fatuous; folly which must bo
| paid for. What a stupid make-believe
| it now begins to appear. ^
Land is t<> human beings more than
h\ definition 'it appears. By an an,
cicr.t system a man may have lordP
;> >\er a -mall or greater portion
of tho land's surface in tho period
h, : aitii i mergence from tho soil and
the retmn rest in it; and this is
.tth-d Land ownership
and land '.wv?-. land hunger, are powerful
f.t.fashioning the spirit.
We shall he the l>otter for it when
: we get back to a wholesome regard

Grade, Staple, Character
Demand for manufactured cotton
controls the price of raw cotton,
and the price 1h measured by the
cotton's suitability to this demand
In other words, Its (juallty.
Quality is defined by official
standards of grade and length of
^?? staple.
Crude considers color or brightness,
presence of dirt or other foreign
matter, and "ginning preparation."
or physical condition of
the lint.
length considers only the uieusure
of the fiber.
Thirty-seven grudes and over 34
lengths are officially recognized.
In addition to these, cotton
duality depends on other factors
like strength of the liber, crosssection
area. t>ody. shape, flexibility,
conformation, and relative uniformity.
These other factors ure
called "character," but well-defined
standards have uot yet been
fixed to cover them.

Fewer Wild Farms
If the Reclamation bureau at
Washington has Its way, no more
engineering work will be done on
now, or old reclamation projects
until their soils have been studied
and their fitness for farmjng has
befn determined.- There used to be
strong disagreement over reclaiming
more wild land. The Department
of Agriculture has maintained
that u lot of it wasn't tit for farming
and its reclamation would only add
to the "marginal" land that agriculture
Is now burdened with. It
seems like others are coming around
to this view.

BIG BUSINESS
"An Idea of the present status of
large-scale cooperative marketing
in the United Qtates can be gained
from the fact that more than ISO
farmers' marketing associations
each transaot an annual business
exceeding $1,000,000. Five or six
have an annual business approximating
$60,000,000 each. Two have
passed the $80,000,000 mark. Yet
only about one-third of our farmers
are members. As a group, our
large cooperative associations do
a conspicuously efficient Job." ?

Eight States Fight Erosion
Eight southwestern states have
joined hands in a regional plan to
prevent further soil erosion. Their
representatives met at College Station,
Tex., to detail the work ahead.
H. H. Bennett, soli erosion specialist
of thfe U. 8. Department of Agriculture,
is reported by newspapers
to have told the conference about
entire counties In which the agricultural
lands have been practically
denuded by soil erosion.

"In California, where highly or- I
ganlzed fruit industries have been
developed, ootton growers are aware
that a standardized prodhct la neo- H

for community organization to H

has maintained Itself in the Coach- I

the Irrigated valleys are now plant- j

Makes Pouud for Pound I
"The North Oarollna Experiment j
Station found that a pound of seed 1
cotton was produced for every .
pound of fertilizer used up to 1,000 j
pounds per acre. Similar results
have been obtained at experiment
stations in other states. An agronomist
at one station says that the resuits
indicate high Quantities are
practicable. The danger lies in using
too little rather than too much
fertilizer."?Ward H. Sachs.
V-O r?
Although cotton cultivation is progressing
in the basin of the Niger
River, in Africa, says the New York
Times, the present tendency is to
concentrate on large plantations
along the Senegal ltiver. This territory
is nearer the coast and
"would lessen the cost of cotton
seed and fertilizers that must now

"The first two bales of cotton
ginned in Jefferson County this

used these goods. When I use V-O, I
know I will have a successful crop."
