f vikws cnyrron outlook '? " i Economist Fact* on Supply and Demand r cieiuson College, Nov. 10.- -The best future of the cotton situation fs *th0 home of continued increases in the consumption of cotton to replenish empty shelves and stocks the Jorld over, and its worst feature is the size of the carry-over, thinks p w, Watkins, chief economist of the Kxtension Service. Discussing the latest information on the cotton outlook and auggegJng considerations for economy in prWluc, tion, Mr. Watkins says: "Acreage has been reduced for the third consecutive year and is this year 20 per cent below thikt.of 1920. Carry-over on August 1, however, was the largest on record, being somewhat larger than the consumption of this year's crop. Dut this year's smaller crop and some increases in consumption give promise of whittling down the carry-over by a .million bales or go by the end of this cotton - year (August 1, 1983). Foreign production was reduced this yehr, largely because of low yields per acr$.. increased foreign production .is expects ed for the coming year. World consumption of American cotton gained at the expense of foreign cottons during the past year and the price differentials.: are still faVorable to the use of America!}. "Boll weevils will probhbly be worse next year than during the present year, though, of course, the damage may vary widely in different areas as usual. This year's income from the cotton crop is such as practically to insure less money spent on boll weevil poisons and on fertilizers. "Since there is no indication that foreign production will be less next year, American growers may expect no early easing up of this competition, especially in the shorter staples'.' $e shall probably Se$ :>wider differ-3 entials between the different staples than ytave existed recently; hence grow'enr\olijyi do well to consider the production of the medium to longer staples on those lands especially adapted to such varieties. In South Carolina certain medium'or one-inch ' varities have proven themselves and - according to the outlook it would- Jbe a mistake to discontinue these. It,, is highly desirable, however, that good seed of the better medium-stapled varieties be more widely disseminated through some system of exchange or on a reasonable sale basis. "The .jive-at-home idea needs yet to be extended to many cropper* a* a means of lowering cash expenses while maintaining adequate food consumption, Most other farmers in South Carolina have materially increased their acreages and output of crops for home use. Perhaps the greatest short-coming under present conditions is in the growing of nitrogen supplies in the fornv of summer j or winter crops. The use of the I higher-yielding lands for cotton and , the seeding down of other lands for improvement purposes, a trend that has been evident for some years, should now be speeded up. Fertilisers should be selected with unusual care. Many lands need a little liibe, butN specific recommendations should ,'be secured. , "The price of supplies, equipment, nitrate fertilizers and labor will bo apparently somewhat lower in 19S3. Good mules may bo a little higher, rath?r than cheaper, if present acreages of cultivated crops are maintained. The regular channels of credit will perhaps afford somewhat less funds for cotton growing than during the present year. Government financing of farmers through the new Regional Agricultural Credit" Corporation of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation is reported to be on the basis of acceptable security. It is not expected that the crop mortgage alone will be considered as acceptable. No federal seed loan funds are provided at this time, and there is a pretty general feeling that if such loans are provided, the terms will be mpre stringent than in the past. However, several factors indicate a reduced demand for credit. "The fuller use of equipment (as, for example, the same house for curing tobacco and sweet potatoes or the same house for curing potatoes and, brooding chicks) is very much in order. Cheap devices such as trench silos or log smoke-houses are worth considering. The same idea of care^ ful planning extends to all the details of running the farm. General recommendations must be interpreted to fit specific conditions am different farms in the light of the prospective supply and demand situation for cotton suggested above." A Democrat and Republican running for township treasurer in a Missouri county, received the same number of votes. They flipped a coin and the Democrat won it. Motor Vehicle Plates Ready Columbia, Nov. 30.?Motor vehicle license plates for the year 1033 are now ready for distribution at the offices of the Motor Vehicle Division of tho State Highway Department in Columbia, according to announcement by Wilbert V. Sutherland, head of the 1 division. The plates for the coming' year, manufactured at the State peni-j tertiary, are of attraciive pattern:! bla,^k lettering on white backgsc.pund and bearing in addition to the atfcte designation and the number, the following legend: "The Iodine Products State." I^awa governing . the distribution and displaying of 1933 license plates are the same as for last year, it is stated. All motor vehicles in oplha-1 tion after January first positively must display the new plates. The Highway Department has no authority to, extend time to the public generally or to special individuals, it is added. The department's offices on tho ground floor of the State office build-; ing are now open for distribution of t the plates. Also they may be ordered, by mail if the necessary information | is sent in and the correct rehiittance. made by post office or express money | order or by certified check. Personal checks cannot be accepted and cash is sent at the sender's risk. On request, the department will mail application blanks to anyone who has not received them. Attention also is called to the fact that vehicles must be registered in the name of their owners. Persons having vehicles not properly registered, should secure transfer blanks from a dealer and see that legal title to the vehicle is correctly recorded. "Mr. Sutherland and his assistants in the motor vehicle division handled the colossal task of distributing the ^license plates last year with remarkable efficiency," said Chief Highway Commissioner, Ben M. Sawyer. "They are prepared to render the^ same kind of service this year, and only ask the co-operation of the motor vehicle owners irr the proper filling out and prompt submittal of application' blanks."

Y., Nov. 26.?Howard Huxter, three, who fell into a fivefoot pit 20 yards from his home and lay there during an afternoon, night and morning, while a posse combed the southern side of the city for him, was declared today to be none the worse for his experience. He may, the doctor said, get a cold. The child, sought by police, state troopers; boy scouts, jmd volunteers, including men and women neighbors, was found by his father, Horace. The father, returning from the home of a neighbor, heard a feeble cry of "Daddy, Daddy," coming from the vacant lot separating the two houses. Then he espied a small hole in the turf and, bending down, heard the voice of his son coming from the ground. Hurriedly he pulled the boy out. "You're not going to whip me, are you, Daddy?" the boy whimpered. After his fears on this score had been allayed, the lad found a new worry, as his father hurried home with him. "Daddy,"'he said, "I've lost my rubbers." Safe within the house, the little one was Wrapped up in blankets by his mother, and given hot soup.

Anderson county finds itself with its appropriation for court expenses exhausted,, and the regular December term of common pleas court has been annulled by Judge Spearman who says he would not hold court, if jurors could not bo paid. A bird dog on a farm near Allendale, running from another dog, made a blind leap and landed in a vat of boiling sorghum syrup, causing its death. Fertilizer Meetings To' Be Conducted It is planned by the county agent to conduct fertilizer meetings in vorious communities of Kershaw county which meetings will begin within the nox?t several days. It is desired that anyone wishing to have a fertilizer meeting in his community will nptlfy the county agent as soon as possible in order that the schedule of dates may be arranged to tho best advantage.* These meetings Will be very important in view of -the fact that it is expected that our farmers will mix most of their fertilizer this coming season. Thousands of dollars have been spent for fertilizer which we did not need, very much, while because we did not know the needs of our soils and crops we did not perhaps apply some other fertilizer which was needed more. This subject has been thoroughly studied out and it is expected that recommendations can be made for each community which will enable the farmer to more nearly purchase and use the fertilizers actually needed for tho particular soil typo and the particular crops to be grown. It is always hoped that cooperative orders may be placed wherein the fertilizers so used may be secured at .. , ? ... i. .... even cheaper prices than are now indicated. It should be remembered that farmers who planted austrian peas or vetch this year and whH> secure good stands will not need to purchase very much nitrogen fertilizer if any. Those interested in having a meeting in their community aro requested to notify tho county agent as soon as possible. a 1 1 111 1 " if \ Louisiana Woman Takes 12th Husband Monroe, La., Nov. 23.?Louisiana's most married woman, Mrs, Carolyn McDonald-fWalters-Bronson - Burgess-Chevalier-<*arden White - Luigi - Hatfield"Willis-Pifflehall, was married for tho twelfth time at Columbia last Saturday, it was learned here yesterday.
