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."

Tot Found in Pit
Near His Home
Syracuse* N. 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.

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.
