COMMKNT8 ON MKN AND THJNQ8
By Spectator
Behold the blitzkrieg of Bre'r Bolt
weevil. "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*. V

Ml New Pipe Line to Serve Southeastern States

? 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

Officers, though apparently baffled,
believe they will soon have the culprit

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

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.
