* KWo
Are Being Starved To Death
Because Of Too Much Stuff
The~ South has again became
famous by reasou of the fact that?
It (or we) ie the No. I economic
problem of the day." That la possibly
true, but there la a way out:
If the government will rurnlah ua
enough money to buy our clgHttjettea.
our anuff. our tobacoo, our|
autoinobllea and our gasoline, the
worm will turn. |
We make a good living except
for the neceaaltiea enumerated
above. We upend more for clgerattea
alone than we do for bread and meat.
We upend as much for anuff au we
<lo 'for clothing. We spend more for
cars and gaa thau wo do for
doctors, lawyers, school teachers,
preachers, milk, shoes, hats, underwear
and possibly rent on tenant
farms and town tenant residences.
. ..So. Mr. Government: you take
care of the few Items listed above,
-;:d t??H. JfV " uau tixfl Snuth roallv
g,> to town. We make plenty money
to live on; It's things that wo can't
do without that keeps us broke. We
have nothing left to buy homes and
farms tot? livg In and on after we
stock up on our habit-forming requirements.
....Some (plks talk about "bumper
crops" bringing prosperity. The only
tiling a bumper crop ever does Is
bump the 33,000,000 people who
grows It. You have never heard of
a cotton mill having to close down
when cotton was 12 cents and above.
You won't hear of any suffering and
unemployment in the west' when
crops are small, but large enough
to serve the purpose of crops. This
will apply to all other parts of the
country.
....The Good Lord didn't expect ua
to grow enough stuff In one year
to last three years. Had He consider.-d
that right and proper. He would
have made the years much longer.
You'll never see any good times
anywhere In the United States as
long as we make surplus crops. A
laree crop Is the first step toward
bankruptcy.... regardless of what
c-oiiomists, politicians, or prognosis.itors
say. Cheap food can't be
bought by a guy who is busted.
.We ha-ve big crops now of . every-. _
thing except money and religion
\\V have heard for years that our
trouble is "crop control." Well, they
wern't controlled last yar, but nobody
has decided what to do with
the stuff we don't need. The republicans
and liberty-leaguers were going
to export "billions of dollars
worth of goods when produced, but
evidently they have lost the address
of those "furrin" buyers. Poverty
will always follow in the path of
bumper crops: # when you stop half
of the U. S. from buying (because
they have no equity In their big
crops) you simply put the rest of
the country out of employment.
Check your records: when you get
thru you will find out that you have
never seen any prosperity when
excess crops were, produced. It can t
he done, that's all.

Rhame Explains j
Tournament Change i
E. CUrkaoq Khamo, district com-1
inlaaloner of the National Softball As [
aoclatlou, has transferred the district J
Softball tournament from Camden to
Wluuahoro.
This tournament brings many teams
to the three-day tournament which
will be lt?)d oil August 16, 17 and 18.1
The teams are accompanied by bun-!
dreds of fans from the respective cl-l
ties ami It means a nice revenue for
various business enterprises of the
community.
In explaining the transfer of the
tournament to Wlnnsboro, Mr. Rhame
J stated the lack of lights for night play
I at the local baseball held ulonu was
responsible for his action.
"We were very sorry to have to
make the transfer as Camden had
been designated as tv tournament city
by the state commissioner for many
reasons?chief being the accessibility
of the city to- the other communities
In the district," said Mi\ llhame. j
"We felt certain when we accepted
the tournament that there would be
Ughta rnaiaiieu on trie athletic held
where the softball game league teams
are played. The city paUBed a resolution
to install the lights, but thej
school trustees, having charge of the
property, lntersposed restrictions and
regulations which were Impossible
for tlie city to comply with. So we
got no lights.
"The tournamqnt Is in progress for
three days, and the players on thej
teams, together with the fans accorn*.
panytng them, patronize many busi-:
ness houses, especially the restaurants,
drug stores, Ice cream and soft j
drink parlors. It also means the purchase
of gasolene and oil at the tilling
stations.
"It does seem a pity that Camden
was obliged to forego entertaining the,
tournament. Wlnnsboro, less than
half the size of Camden, has a lighted
field and so it got the meet."

Growing Pullets
Need Attention
Pullets sometimes become Infested
with lice very guickly when on range
and should be examined (or these parasites
of ton, says County Agent W. C.
McCarley, who advises the use of sodium
tiuoride as a powder or dip to
rid the flock of lice For use sh a
dip, he advises one pound of the powder
dissolved in ten gallous of lukewarm
water. It Is wise to wult until
young chicks are completely feathered
out and weigh around three pounds
before dipping.
A clean range providing some shade,
a good growing mash, plenty of grain,
and an abundance of water will help
greatly In growlug out a good crop
of pullets.

("are in Harvesting
Handling Cotton
Ctomaot), Auk I.?There lu n trumetulous
loss to South Carolina farmers
each your lu the way seed totton
la picked and handled, this loss'
being due to rough ginning because
of excessive moisture In the sued cotton.
according to II. K. (J. Prltchard,
extension agronomist. Cotton should
be thoroughly dry before It Is picked,
or if It Is picked damp or wet. it
should be allowed to dry In the sun
for several hours, he states, Drying
should be repeated for several days
In order to get the cotton thoroughly
dried out.
Picking colon dump and packing it
down In sheets or wagons Is a very
had practice, the agronomist says.
Dinning cotton wet causes the gluuer
more grief than any other one thing.
No matter how good the gin equip
ment may be, It cannot hundlo green
or wet cotton and produce a good
sample. . 1
"Pick only well opened bolls, Pritch-I
ai d advises.' "lMck your cotton when
It Is dry. If you must pick damp
cotton, allow It to dry lu the sun for
several hours or spread in very thin
luyers in a building and stir often.
l>o not allow'the cotton to heat as
thlH will damaxe the fibers.
"In short, a little care In harvesting
and handllnK of your wet cotton
will mean more money to you when
you sell your cotton hales."
