Jnn. 17?$1,032.37a was the amount received by South Carolina cotton growers from the sale of cotton seed to oil mills during the month of December, it whs announced here today by D M. Lipscomb. Secretary of ! the South Carolina^ Cottonseed CrushI ers' Association. Th4S estimate was based upon tho reports of two Federal agencies, the Bureau of the Census and the Agricultural Marketing Service. Growers' cash income from sissl during December was $2u().ooo greater this year than last. During the first five months of the current season, bo j ginning August 1. South Carolina j mills have paid growers $:?,930.000 for (cottonseed. This is about $."iU,nOO .ess than during the same period last year. The difference is due to tho fact that less seed have been sold. With the South Carolina cotton crop 11 per cent larger than a } ear ago. s<hm1 receipts by the mills to date are approximately equal to those of last year. This indicates that considerable seed remain to be sold.

Nobody's Business Written for The Chronlole by Gee McGee, Copyright, 1028. , ^ THE ITALIAN ARMY IN REVERSE - At tho tlmo this la writ ton, 11 Dtico la planning to visit the Greek-Italian buttlofront in Albania. You recall that Albania I* tho little helpless uouutty that thla KHHtl lUftDU r?Q.W . known us the "ill duoo," annexed to his bin country because he wanted to do something smart like Hitler. Ethiopia Is another piece of property that be took by force. Hallo Selassie will got his country back, tho, at tho end of the war, or perhaps sooner. We wish Mussolini a pleasant trip to tho war area. He will of course carry his running shoes with him so's he won't got caught betwiat a rock and a hard place. We would not advise him to go too close to the actual battle lines. ^ Being low and dump.v like he is going to make it mighty hard for him to foot It fast enough to keep from being poked in the back by a bayonet. As a matter of fact, he should venture forward In a good V-8 and he'd better be sure that it can run in reverse down hill and up hill faster than a Greek soldier can run. As a matter of fact, It looks liko the battle front will come to him in Italy within a few weeks and thus save him the trouble of going to it. ?Now it is possible that by tho time this article appears in print that 11 Duco will have his soldiers fighting with their facos toward the enemy and the whole picture might be changed. He has about 15 Italian soldiers (or marathon hikers) to I Greek fighter. If he can whip Greece with numbers, the picture will of course be changod. But he had better not get up too close to his brave men: they might turn around suddenly in an effort to retreat and "tnomp" him to death. ?Poor old II Duce! He used about the same amount of sense in the matter of getting into this war as a mouse puts out when he nibbles cheese on a mouse-trap trigger. He had to do something. Other countries (tho democracies) had all of the wealth and he thought It was a good time to take part of It or all of It away from them. His troubles have Just started. Hitler possibly regards him as a gumboll by now: he can't help II Dace very much. In fact, his hands are full also. * FLAT ROCK MUSINGS ..it pays to advertise. rar. slim chance, jr., lost his dog last week and it looked like she was lost for keeps, he put a "ad" in the paper on tuesday p.m.. and the next morning he heard .something rubbing against his front door; when he opened it there stood his dog with his newspaper In her mouth, we won't say that "slssie" actually read about herself, but she had a Idea that she was advertised fur. when the paper boy flung the. paper in the front yard, she picked it up and carried it in to her master. ..another young man has vollunteered and gone to the army, his name is useter work, lie got it into his head that In- was needed at tho front, so he left everything behind and went forward, he wants to get into the flying corpse if possible, he has never flew except in a ford, but he knows his machinery, he wants to commeifce at the ground and work up. ho will clean planes when they light on terra fir ma and expects later on to be allowed to do a little bit of solo-ing by hisself. he could not wait on the draft, the works aro all fine people and have lived here 2 yr. ....there have been sevveral repossessions in our midst since xmus. the moores lost their baby grand, the squares are shy a raddio and a walnut bedstead. tho waites returned 2 mattresses of their own free will and accord, they had counted on getting holllday gifts of monney to pay for same, but noLhing better than a dressed rooster in value was glvven to them, the all-nlte garrage permitted his 2 gas pumps and his garrage tools to be took back, sevveral first, second and third hand cars have returned home. ....the weather has bonn so bad In flat rock foy the past 25 days nothing has benn Indulged in except setting around the fire, somo government chocks trickled In last week to the joy of all concerned, including the grocer and dr. hubbert green, farm work will start in martoh If It alnt snowing then, no new building is in progress, but some Is being talked, vizzly: torn head is thinking of enlarging Ills kitchen and making it serve as a dining-room. his famlley has bonn enlarged by the marriadge of his darter, "frizzley" head.

MORE DAIRY CATTLE IN STATE BIG NEED Clemson, Jan. 18.."There Is a large outlet for dairy products In South Car* olina which if supplied with reasonable adequacy would require many more milk cows than we now have", says O. M. Clark, extension agricultural economist, discussing the general outlook for dairying and the need for more dairy cows In South Carolina. "A recent survey indicates that about 44 percent of the farm families of the state do not have a mik cow, and only 36 percent have an adequate supply of milk". Mr*. Clark explains. "An increase in dairy cattle numbers in this state is desirable for the purpose of correcting this deficiency regardless of the national outlook for dairy products." Regarding the dairying prospects in; the country as a whole Mr. Clark' points out that the number of milk cows on farms has been increasing during the last few years and will probably continue to increase over the next two or three years. The production of dairy products will quite likely be greater in 1941 than in 1940, but the demand fs expected to bo stronger, and prices of dairy products will probably average a little higher in 1941 than in 1940. The total income from dairy products will be higher in 1941 than the year before. i The areas in which the fresh or fluid milk is produced for markets in 1 South Carolina are so separated and ! independent of each other that the j national outlook with respect to dairy ; products may not apply in any great degree to the fluid milk markets of this state. However, the national situation does influence the prices of other dairy products of this state and of milk cows themselves. Made Member of Firm Frank L. Campbell, who has been cotton buyer for Oliphant and Company, Rock Hillfand will be a member of the firm. Mr. Campbell will continue to live in Chester, and will have an ofTice here! Mr. Campbell and family came here from Camden in 1931. . Their many Chester friends are delighted to know that Mr. Campbell's new connection will not take them away from Chester.

K EVERYTHING sold off the farm reduces its fertility. Most crops remove as much or more potash than any other plant food and a great many of them remove more potash than nitrogen and phosphoric acid combined. Unless care has been taken to replace this necessary plant food each year, chances are the potash now in your soil together with what you apply in ordinary fertilization is not enough to get you the yields and quality which mean most profit. Consult your county agent or experiment station about the amounts of potash needed to grow the crops you plan for 1941 and how much your soil will supply. See your fertilizer dealer early. He will tell you that there is plenty of potash on the market and show you how little extra it will cost to apply enough for greater returns on your investment. Make more money in 1941.
