Clemson College, Sept. 4.?If past and present experiences indicate anything as to the future, farmers along with the rest of the world are about to witness the beginning of an era which has been the dream of a few philosophers for a long time, thinks' G. H. Aull, agricultural economist of the South Carolina Experiment Station. ' "Recent events suggest something far superior to the direct gains which might result from the destruction of crop surpluses,"- says Mr. Aull. "Even the most-enthusiastic support| ers of the Agricultural Adjustment Act do not advocate'its methods exj cept in an emergency such as that | which confronts us. Farrpers who plant and cultivate with a view to destruction at a later date are pursuing a most foolish course and pne which would^certainly lead to ruin. "It is possible that out of the sad experiences of the past will come a knowledge that it is more profitable to sow good will than to sow grain, to cultivate confidence rather than cotton, and to breed happiness rather than hogs? "At any rate there is no surplus of many things which farmers can provide with little effort and less ex pense, and no government can con-u 1 tinue to pay for the destruction of those things which are persistently I produced to excess," Mr. Aull con- I eludes. ' Unless these facts are recognized now the farm problem is I destined to become more-rather than I less acute." Labor department officials in I Washington estimate an employment I gain of 750,000 and an increase of factory payrolls in August over July I of 12,000,000. Secretary of Labof fl Frances Perkins, commenting on the situation, said: "This is not the time I to throw hats too high in the air," 1 and then recalled that winter was I just ahead and that the months of I November, December and January I normally show reverses. t , .She said I employment was still 28.4 per cent I and ^payrolls 48 per cent below the I normal average in 1026, and, while the August figures were encouraging, I "we must try soberly to reach that I normal peak." I Judge Watkins has disqualified I himself from presiding at the trial of I T. N? Tinsley, on charges growing I out of the closing of the National I Exchange bank at Chester. Judge H John Paul of Virginia will preside on I the week of October 8. The case in- I volves only the alleged overdrawing of Tinsley as a depositor. ...
