COTTON LETTER New t York, March 7.?Liverpool came in as due. Prospects cf a change in May weather boosted spots nearly 2 points to a new low.

We advise caution and federal aid if you intend to straddle, but if you are long, you will soon be short, and possibly broke. Anyway, let Mr. Mellon go ahead. SEE IF YOU CAN WORK THIS PUZZLE '. . Cigarette tobacco was selling at 25 cents per pound in 1927, standard brand cigarettes were selling at $6.00 per thousand (plus stamps) in 1927. Today (1932) cigarette tobacco is selling at 9 cents a pound and standard brand cigarettes are selling at $6.85 per thousand, (plus stamps). In other words, raw tobacco has declined about 62 per cent., while the manufactured product has advanced about 14 per cent. The tax rate on cigarettes is the same now as 1927. Ans.: Bad habits. JESSE JAMES' METHOD ^ ..The new emergency freight rate is like this: you go into a restaurant and order a 25-cent meal and* pay 50 cents for it, and suddenly the proprietor pokes a 44-CoIt in your shortribs and demands 10 cents more, .just because he has been charging so rhuch for his food....he ran his trade off, and thus, he began to slide backwards.... to such an extent. .. .that he can't quite pay his rent. AX-MAN SPARE THAT TREE ..In the public's mind, generally speaking, it matters not how much and how often cotton mills ,business houses and other enterprises cut wages, ibut just talk about cutting wages and salaries of state or county tor city employees and listen at the howls and hisses. . .For every dime that has been taken from the income of politically employed men and women, a dollar has been taken from the common laborer, the operative and the worker. Less than 2 per cent of the men and women employed and paid by the taxpayers, directly and indirectly, have had their pay cut to any appreciable extent and not over 1 per cent of such employees have lost their jobs, But look what's happened to business: about 30 p6r cent of such empioyees have lost their places, which meant Spread and meat. ..If Mr. Jones is receiving $300.00 j per month for his 8-hours-ji-day job, it does not necessarily mean that hej won't work as hard and remain just I as honorable at $250.00 per month. J Wry- few industries enjoy reducing the wages of their operatives: in fact they rarely ever do so until their own income is not sufficient to keep the wheels turning around. "A state or city is not able to pay any better salaries than a cotton mill if the money to do so can not be paid by fair tax rates. ..Under normal conditions, when stores and shops and garages and farms and dairies and undertaking parlors are making expenses and a little dab of money, it is nothing but right that the masses be making a good living, plus a dollar or so a week for a rainy day. But when mills are closed down, banks busted, land being sold for taxes, millions of people out of jobs, good people living on corn bread and water, fine boys and girls without sufficient food and clothing, what do you expect? Do 'you expect taxpayers to keep the "favored few" lolling around in the lap of luxury? That's politics. ..No man is any more in favor of paying high wages.... if possible to do so and keep a-going... .than thb scribe. I can prove that. But why ruin the whole country in order to keep up a bad policy and please the sentimental? My idea is..pay good men and women all they are worth if i you are able to do so, but if you ain't I the next best person who will work for-what you can spare. ..Rent is not as low as it should be, electric lights and gas rates are high, but food is so cheap that it's a ain. We have let the "Joneses" get ua in a mess. Jt is time for somebody ?0 think. And I ain't -mad, nuther: just disgusted.... because a sensible man told me tonight. . . .'If you cut the salaries of our public employees, they will leave you and get jobs elsewhere." I'd like to know where that "elsewhere" is. Why, folks, "Elsewhere is more broke than we are.

I, MARCH FARM CALENDAR Things To lk< Done As Outlined By ClentHon College Olemaon College, March 7.?To guide farmers in the essential activities of March, R. VV. Hamilton, agronomist, K. H. Rawl, horticulturist, J. T. McAlister, agricultural enginoer, and Alfred Lutken, entomologist and plant pathologist, make the following brief suggestions: Agronomy.?Make, save and use farm manures and compost in producing crops. Before buying' fertilizer, study carefully the needs of your fioil for plant food to feed the plants grown on that soil. Buy ma-.' terials and mix. fertilizer so that plants will be supplied with food most needed. The price of cotton next fall will probably be low. Plan to produce it at low cost. Read First Corinthians, chapter 3, verse 6, and plan an acreage of food and feed crops accordingly. Horticulture.?Set out fruit trees that have not already been set. Plant raspberries and blackberries any time this month. Pfuno ai\d spray fruit trpes. Cultivate and fertilize orchards. Plant salsify and parsnips) now for next winter. Insects and diseases. ? Remove bands from apple trees, scrape rough bark off, and kill the over-wintering codling moth larvae. Burn twigs severed by the pecan twig girdler. Grow corn as far as possible from last year to control billbugs and borers. Control cutworms with poisoned bran mash. 'Dust tobacco plants with arsenicals to control flea beetles. Plow under leaves and shucks in pecan groves as an aid in scab control. Spray potatoes with Bordeaux when first leaf spots appear. Plant wiltresistant tomatoes, such as Marglobe and Break o' Day. Agricultural Engineering. ? Cut stalks and trash with disc harrow before plowing instead of burning. Use a two-horse middle buster with wide double-tree I for laying off evenly spaced rows. Equip the riding twohorse cultivator with opener center shovel, fertilizer distributors, and disc hillers to save labor. Plow terraces just before planting and make them wide enough for three rows of crops. Use two-horse machinery wherever possible and save labor for growing feed crops. Tarrant?Woodward A wedding of unusual interest to friends was that of Miss Blanche Tarrant to Hosea W. Woodward in Greenwood, Thursday morning at 11 o'clock, February 25, at the home of her parents. The impressive ring ceremony was used and the bride s pastor, Dr. C. M. Long, of the Presbyterian church officiated. Only members of the family were present. Mrs. Woodward is the daughter of Mr. and "Mrs. J. R. Tarrant, of Greenwood, and at the time of her marriage was District Agent in Home Demonstration work in the northwestern district of South Carolina. Before entering demonstration- work she taught school and at one time was a member of the Bishopville school faculty. * , Mr. Woodward is a resident ,of Bishopville and a scion of a prominent Lee county family. Farming and banking have been his chief interests.?'Bishopville Messenger. Fred D. Felt, a Philadelphia movie threatre doorman, has been arrested on a charge of avoiding ttye payment of income taxes on nearly $250,000. Felt has been working for $15 a week for a movie theatre owned by his brother. The government claims that he owes $52,710 in income taxes. } Predict Heavy Weevil Infestation Every indication points to a heavy infestation of boll weevils in Kershaw county1 this spring. The extrejnely mild'weuthor has not killed weevils as formerly. It is urgent that those farmers who plan to plant cotton this year make early arrangements for poisoning. The l-l-1 mixture is recommended, This consists of mixing together 1 gallon of blackstrap molasses and 1 gallon of water and stirring into this 1 pound of calcium arsenate. Do not mix this in large quantities and use after being mixed for several days as such old mixtures will burn the foliage of the young cotton. A sufficient amount should be mixed in the morning tQ last for that day. One big mistake has been made in the past by farpier's waiting too long to poifllfn. If a farmer waits until l\e finds weevils working in his field he is too late the;! to start poisoning. The first application of this sweetened poison should be applied when the first squares appear on cotton; or in case the farmer finds that weeviD are working in the buds of the cotton before the squares form hp should poison at that time; however, lie should not wait later than when the firfet squares begin to form. It should be remembered that a few early weevils may lay sufficient eggs to do great damage and destroy the middle part and especially the last part of the crop. It is^%xtremely necessary to push the crop as rapidly as practical because this year it will probably be a race between the farm, er and the boll weevil to see who will get the largest part of the crop. That will especially be true if we have a wet year. Where fertilizer is put under the cotton seed before planting it should be stirred well into the soil before the seed are planted. This will insure a better stand of cotton as the tender tap root of the young cotton plan may be killed or severely set back by^coming into contact with the condensed concentrated fertilizer put into the soil unless this fertilizer has been stirred and mixed with soil. ^ The first side dressing of cotton should be applied at chopping time. It will probably be a good idea for farmers planting cotton to secure a sufficient amount of calcium arsenate and molasses early in order that they will have it on hand and there will be no delay in applying to poison at the proper time. For further, information on boll weevil control kindly get in touch with your county agent, Henry D. Green. Prevention of Pellagra As ocean waves follow each other and waste away, so have the recurrences of pellagra each spring and fall for several years. Will this be true again this year or not? why should there-be a return of this malady Which is apparently preventable? If the reasons assigned as the cause be correct and if the teachings by the various agencies at work in the county be worthwhile, there should be less cases incident and it is not unthinkable that there should be none. Therefore, let those who have heard and needed help to spread the in- , formation which will aid in preventing this malady which costs the people of Kershaw county so much in physical suffering and loss in a financial way. Pellagra is caused by eating the wrong food. It is not sufficient to say that a person has enough to eat tf 1 o noroocarr tn tVin j quality and variety of the food consumed each day. The missing essential in a pellagra producing diet appears to be a vitamin called the pellagra-preventing factor or vitamin. This is usually supplied by the following foods:* Milk, cheese, lean meat, poultry, fish (salmon), tomatoes, greens (spinach). Any of these foods, which may be canned for later use. are equally efficient then as when fresh. Therefore it is apparent how essential it is for the people to try to raise everything on the farm for consumption both from an economic and health standpoint. There are cases which require the attention of the family physician for conditions which need professional advice but the wise and safe thing to do is to ward off the disease by proper living in order to avoid the necessity of calling in medical aid. Let everybody in our county strive to assist in stamping out this disease, which was less in 1931 than any year lately. Keep up the good work, says A. W. Humphries, M. D., director, Kershaw County Health Department. Mrs. Thos. G. Bilbo, wife of a former governor of Mississippi, has sworn out p warrant in which she charges Dr. C. Lamar Smith, dentist, ?on-in-law of Bilbo, with assault and battery. Shad Fishermen Ruined By Storm ?5tv Mantco, N. O., March 8.?tShad Ashing, Dare county's largest industry with a half million dollar investment, stood paralyzed in midseaton today for week end storms had swept away virtually every fisherman's net. The loss in equipment was estimated at over $250,000 while the loss in uncuught fish would probably total another quarter million dollars. Storms wh^ch swept over this, coast during1 the week bud wreaked havoc enough when they tore away the neta which for many fishermen were their only means of livlihood. Today, scores of families faced destitution for, in addition to the loss of equipment, they have no means of procuring additional nets and boats with which to recoup their losses and continue to bring in the weekly funds for bread ami meat. In addition, much other damage was'done along the coast. The 04-mile-an-hour gale blew water four feet deep through many of the villages; scores of small craft were blown ashore at Hat terns the Nags Hcad-Konnoke Island highway and causeway was damaged $150,000; Mann's Harbor and East Lake ferry terminals were washed away. Wharves and piers were destroyed at Manteo, where a 100-foot barge was stranded; damage to fisheries outside of Dare county was estimated at $350,000, and piers at Wilmington and Wrightsville beach were wrecked. Shad fishing got underway halfheartedly the early part of last month for fish were not as plentiful as in seasons past and catches were few. In many communities fishermen and their families eked out little more than a bare living with their nets but gardens helped solve the food problem. f The fishing industry in North Carolina, R. H. Felder, of the United States bureau of fishes, said some time ago, ranks as one of the greatest in the state with an investment of $l,f>00,000 and employing over 5,000 people. This industry, in which Dare county plays a large part, thus was struck a severe blow by nature's cruel ca<priciousness. In Dure county, approximately 1,000 men gain a living from tho contents of their nets. The pursuance of their occupation requires an expenditure of about $2,500 a day in operating expenses.
