"And he sure Is e-blUslng something surrlgorons", to quote a plowboy. j Threw young men went from my El Itecuerdu farm to join Uncle Ham's fighting forces, as was mentioned a while back. Now let's see; an Idea comes to mind. We are paid something for produclug soil conserving crops, aren't we? Well, how about hatlon, liberty, freedom producing crops? Do we get a bonus tor produclng three volunteer fighters; Well, now; that's a great problem of statecraft, though ^my guess Is that for producing fighters we won't recdlve aqy more 'Guvmeut aid" than if we had produced sheep-burrs. Too bud, What? If Uncle Sam wishes to get the full martial ardor and demoniac fervor from farm boys drawn Into the army he might say "Boys, either "get" the enemy or go home and pull fodder." Oh, boy! The Germans wouldn't stand a chance. Not that we pull (or strip) fodder at El Recuerdo. Oh, no! Somebody told us long agd that the corn would lose 25 per cent !t the fodder were pulled. So we throw away the fodder, though horses and mules seem to like it and thrive on It. The point is1: is the fodder worth the loss In corn? Some of my tenants still pull fodder and some still pull me. Those who live in towns with closed banks on July 5th might have strutted about among their creditors proclaiming their readiness to pay all bills due. As it was following the bank closing ? in 1933. Remember? Many men boasted of how they had been caught; and many others turned down creditors because of bank closings. When, at length, t^e clouds cleared, it was found that many of those who had lost so much in the banks?according to their talk in the street-?had little or nothing in the banks. ' The average number of employees in manufcaturing plants of the United States during 1932 was 6,571,000; in 19J8 the number.-had risen to 8,827c 000; at .{brood Of March 1941 the number was 11,147,000 and at the end of June Ttras estimated to be more than twelve millions. The total employment outside of agriculture was about 40,000,000, ot 12,000,000 above the depression low. The military forces have taken a million two hundred thousand more than Jin 1932. But Welfare goes merrily on. , The national income is today''at the rate.of $85,000,000,000 a year. It is expected to reach ninety billion dollaa a year. H Our State needs leadership In many matters. That leadership need not be exercised through public office, though an office of sufficient importance is both a good sounding board and-a spring board.?Wo need leadership in general business matters, something which Organized Business, Incorporated, of South Carolina is undertaking; we need leadrship - in certain social mattei/s which must be handled wisely, judiciously and firmly; we need leadership In adjusting our people to the present economic conditions. Where. are our Elder Statesman, men whose experience prepares them to think calmly and wisely, and'whose ability, character and lack of personal ambition command the respectful attention of the State? We have a score or two of men who like to regard themselves as leaders, but they don't lead. On occasion they may get together and lubricate a political machine; but thOy hare no popular strength. What we need is some one( or several, who enjoy the confidence of the people. Sometimes I think a few men should be endowed or pensioned for general public service, outside of political office. Once a man become* a candidate or plans to enter a political race he has to watch his p's and q's so as not to say anything which might be used against him. It is interesting to road the figures Indicating t oqr jjmrchases of things we could produce Here.. Here are the figuresr Freeh meats rn TTTTTT 18,561 tons ? Meats, cured, etc 15,917 tons Ghapfcs 77 1,884 tons'. Poultry dressed . .7.. 7 lit tons Butter 451 tons Insane, dried 2,816 tons Cheese ?... 1,600 tons ^ Eggs 1,164 tons Flour (wheat) 56,348 tons -^The probability is that ten thousand freight cars would be required to haul these articles, all of which could be produced ill our Stele- * Most of us think of freight rates as evils to be endured and abQut which nothing can be done. The average citizen does not have to concern himself about freight rates because he neithfe/* "ships goods by rail or water noy/receives them directly. When he buys his coal, or clothing, his groceries, automobile, tires, gasoline, or fertilizers the freight has been added to the price and is not something brought to his attention. We are ini dined to think that a hundred pounds . of freight is a hundred pounds and. wJii pay a freight charge as a hundred pounds according to the miles it must be hauled. We simple souls are always being Jarred and jostled violently by learning that the pleasant dreams are far from the hard realities. In the first place we have classification of goods. 20 tons of crushed rock will not cost the same for freight as twenty tons of hay. Nor would one ton ,of corn be hauled at the same rate of one ton of steel rails. So you see, for freight rates purposes, weight by itself isn't all. Well what about distance? A mile is a mile isn't it? Well not for freight classification. For example, we can ship a 500 pound lot of shoes from Columbia to New York for $1.60 but that same lot of shoes can be brought from New York to Columbia for less. If the freight were less from Asheville to Columbia than from Columbia to Asheville one might think it cost less to run down steep hills than to climb them; but the rates do not seem to be based on that. So up and down hill are the same. But what little I've said must show that this matter of freight rates is something which can disturb the "sleep-of a man in business. ,r Two things stand out; the port of Charleston serves the purpose of holding down freight rates because Of water competition, even though we don't use the port. But if we don't use the port how long shall we have the benefits which 'come from Charleston as a point for basing freight rates? The second point which Impressesus is that In all this intricate freight business only an expert can tell what's what, whether the freight on a given article should be fifty cents a hundred, or forty five cents. ,. . When I look at a rate book I wonder how the mind of men ever contrived so much-to mystify men and to make simple things so difficult. I wonder if those who prepared the rates really understand the whole matter, or whether they, too, stand appalled at their handiwork. Can it be, I wonder, that they are like the French people, who, according to a Dough-boy of the First World War, don't understand their . own language? Said the Dough-boy: Its no Use to study French; these _ ' people don't understand^ It/* Now listen: two old French women meet In the. street. A says something. B says 'Oul'. Then A repeats it! B says 'Out, oul'. Than A says It the third time. B responds with gusto 'Ah, on'! They say things three tlmee to be understood. I got no time for all that pollylng to get an Idea acres*.

Ml New Pipe Line to Serve Southeastern States IIIM i i . mi i i !> . | mmmm rnmm . ' n ? I'm1 "p.j i TTHE above map shows the route of a new pipe line which will run 1?61 miles from Baton Rouge, La., to Greensboro, N. C, and will serve seven southeastern states. This new vital transportation link will be constructed by the Plantation Pipe Line Company and will be rushed to completion as soon as legislation now before Congress is passed, ft will handle 60,000 barrels of petroleum products daily to help meet the shortage induced by government requisitioning of SO tankOil for other service. The area to i be reached by the pipe line normally receives 89 per cent of its petroleum products in whole or in pert by tankers moving over the long route from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic seaboard. On completion the new line will supplant the use of 10 to 15 tankers and will assure the southeast of a constant supply of petroleum products not subject to the hazards of a sea[ voyage which in times of emergency might be perilous. Eighteen army campsi,completed or under construction arc in the area to be served by the line and approximately 17 per cent of the military aviation gasoline required this year is to gd to this area. The Plantation Pipe Line Company is jointly owned by the Standard Oil Company (N. J.), Shell Union Oil Corporation and Standard Oil company (Kentucky). RURAL ELECTRIC U8ES ARE SHOWN IN SURVEY i > * Clemson, July 13.?The use of electrictly, varying all the way from electee lighting to the operation of sausage'mills, is finding its way to the farm as the electric lines are taken to more and more farms each year through the Rural Electrification Authority and the power companies, i says G. H. Stewart, assistant agricul- i tural engineer of the Clemson College \ Extension Service. 1-" f I -A recent survey of Tural electric 4 service in Marlboro county is cited by J Mr. Stewart as pbrhaps typical of the use to which farm people are putting electric current.More than 35 uses i were being made by the Marlboro farm families reporting, 73 percent of these users being owners and 27 percent tenants. In order of popularity lights come first, and as might be expected, 100 percent of those having electric current hare electric lights. Other uses, , with corresponding percentages, are: radios, 90.6 percent; hand irons, 81.9 ; I percent; refrigerators, 60.6 percent; , water pumps, 41.7;; hotplates, 16.7 ; .percent; ranges, 10.2 percent; per- , fcolators, 9.4; fans, 9.4 percent; mixers,S.7T?T7!ent; heating pads, 5.7 per cent; chick brooders, 6.5 percent. ? | Other usee included churns, waffle ] | irons, vacuum cleaners, toasters, , clofcks, sewing machines, roasters, , and . the like among household equip- j ment, and motors, clippers, milkers, ( seed cleaners, grindstones, battery < charges, separators, qpd .corn shell- i era among farm equipment. - I The survey showed, that electric ] household equipment greatly exceeded \ electric farm equipment so far and j that the use of electric power for farm j operations has hardly been touched, j The electric brooder was the most j popular piece of farm equipment, followed closely by small motors. The average consumption of electric ' power on these Marlboro farms was 78 kilowatt hours and the average J electric bill was $3.75 per month. - < Burglaries Baffle Officers Chesterfield is distrubed over an ' epidemic of robberies that have oc- ' curred during the past fe\ftr weeks. 1 Eight homes have been entered and . only cash takep. Bureau drawers, cedar chests and , closets have been rMtsacked, their contents scattered In an apparent search for hidden' money. Silverware, watches, eveh pistols have been handled and left. / Eight such burglaries have been reported to the officers. All entries buti one were made in daylight when the family was away from home. A house on each side and one in front of the home of the chief of police were entered. The.amount of money taken ranges from a few cents - to several dollars, no large amounts having been reported. The culprit Is Apparently bold as well as shrewd and has--so-far left only the most slender slues. Officers, though apparently baffled, believe they will soon have the culprit behind the bars.-?Chesterfield Advertiser. ... "... * BOLL WEEVILS ABUNDANT CONTROL MEASURES URGED Florence, July 14?"High winter survival of boll weevils followed by ideal weather conditions for weevil development in June explains the abundance of boll weevils in South Carolina at the present tlme'\ btate F. F. Bondy and C. F. Rainwater, entomologists of the United States Department of Agriculture located at the Pee Dee Experiment Station. "The average square Infestation on several farms in Florence county, examined during the week ending June 28, was 31 percent. "Regardless of whether or not** early season control measures were used,' if weevils are abundant in their fields growers will have to oontinue to apply control measures to protect their cotton crops. "The first generation of boll weevils began to emerge from the first punctured squares during the last week of June in the Coastal Plains area. Fields should be examined frequently for weevils, as 70 percent of the squares have already been found punctured in some fields near wooded areas." The new cotton dust developed by Bondyand Rainwater"which controls the boll weevils without causing leaf lice injury should be an added incentive for the farmers to dust their cotton. This dust Is described in detail In Circular ?3-538 of the Bureau )f Entomology and Plant Quarantine, copies of which may be obtained by writing to the Pee Dee Experiment Station. This dus? can be prepared t>y mixing calcium arsenate and derris at home and is also sold to the farmers ready mixed. The readymade mixture is an advantage to the farmers who do not haVe the facilities for properly mixing it at home. Yes Sir! It's Cotton At the lakeshore or by the sea* side, this new cotton seersucker bathing suit with bare midriff is ideal for 1941 vacations. Largo tropical flowers lend to the attractiveness of th? outfit. Advises Canning Of More Peaches - " ?-U 1 * Columbia, S. C., July 16?South Carolina Poach growers are in the midst of harvesting the largest crop of peaches ever grown lu this State. "The fact that so many peaches are being picked and selling at such reasonable prices offer housewives of the State a wonderful opportunity of canning and preserving peaches for winter " tpie," declared J. Roy Jones, Commissioner of Agriculture, today. Mr* Jones states further that there will be a heavy movement of peaches the next few weeks and suggests that even those who have to buy peaches should put up some this year, He called attention to information recelv* ed at the State Department of Agrl- culture that indicates high prices for canned peaohes this year. The Call* fornia Cling Peach crop is short and packers there are paying twice as piuch for raw peachso they did last year and furthermore shipping facilities for nomdefense goods will be greatly curtailed. Peaches should be a regular part of the dally diet every day now, thinks Mr. Jones, because of their excellent taste and as a HOiirce of YltaminfL Ha _ thinks the same Is true of other fruits and vegetables now available.
