Wht>n the gathering crop-timed
come "business'' keeps crowding on a
fellow whom people call a clodboppe#
or hayseed, and so much so ob this "scribe"
that he has scarcely had time
to even scribble. Hie rains put me
back several days, too, and 1 have
been so held down trying to cut and
*hock my bottom corn ahead of the
frost. The cold nights with graces of <
f"ost, kept me scared, end I cut some
too green. But then you know thai
no real late com will dry out with-*
out shriveling. I had six acres to
one plow, with a quantity of stalks
to the land, and a good little crop t
made, too, and I am proud of it. But
the good Lord did it. He made me to
work mighty hard at it, until it grew,
and then the frost stayed off, and 1
am very thankful. ' You see, none of
us can do one thing ourselves.
. The weather went to the other ex*
tree (from the drought) and got wet,
so wet that very little of small grain
has been sown, and farmers were
thrown back in the gathering of
crops.
I do not know what the boll weevils '
are doing for a square meal now, as S
green boll now would appear as a
stranger. If there had been reason,
able weather in September there
would have been a rank seqond
growth of cotton, and a good pasture
for weevils.
Now as cotton gathering is being
finished, it shows up very short. Ws
made the plant, all right, but the boH
weevils beat us to the fruit. I have
heard of one small section as making
the best crop they ever made. Well,
the boll weevils are helping them, bjr
taking every other section's cotton,
and if shortage put up price those
few will coin money, and we lose.
The Presbytery met here at the
Presbyterian church last Thursday,
the 19th. Your correspondent was
not able to attend that meeting btft
the report is that it was a gqod
meeting. There were some of the
best addresses and, withal, the meeting
was profitable from the several
angle that these meetings work from
or to.
Mrs. M. L. Fairey of Orangeburg
spent last week with relatives her*.
Your correspondent enjoyed her visit
very much, as it was at his home she
visited. She bears the relationship
of niece to him.
W. D. Lancaster and Hayne Smith
of the West Springs section attended
services a the Baptist church here :
last Sunday. We were glad to have |
you gentlemen; come again.
The community fair came and went 1
and I will try tc say something next i
time. Some we wanted to see there 1
were not present. It was said to have
been good.
The four minute speakers appoint*
ed to speak at the Baptist church here '
AtAvufer I&th, on the 75 Million Cam- "
paign, Messrs. A. G. Kennedy and J.
A. Crosby, were here as appointed.
Mr. Crosby made a very short talk,
only a few remarks, saying that he
did not think Salem needed to be 1
talked to, as it was so near paid up 1
(both said this), but he said it was 1
well to get every one to give some. 1
thing. His remarks were well taken. '
Mr. Kennedy made a most excellent <

very impressive. He related the story '
of ) .ie widow sacrificing to feed '
Elisha, and that it was good to have 1
that spirit in the churches today. We
enjoyed these services. With them '
were Mr. and Mrs. Crocker and Mr. 1
Crosby and Mrs. Crocker (who was ('
Miss Annie Shirley) both of. MonAetna's
choir, sank two duets and
Mr. Crosby a solo, and this alone wae
a treat. We are glad that they came F."
down. Very few people were present.
I am sorry that Santuc is showing up
so badly of late. It may not impress
strangers very favorably.
Last Sunday (fourth Sunday) was
the regular preaching day at the Baptist
church here and Dr. Lee Davis
Lodge of Limestone College preached. >
There was a large congregation pres- 1
enl and was well pleased with the
sermon. It was fine. This was the
day appointed to ordain two additional
deacons, R. E. Moss and L. B.

said that they con Id listen to his sermon

The Lowly Peanut in frouble
The |>eanttt war Ss gone into court,
thanks to the Sherman act, according
to The Nation's Business. If international
unpleaaantagSBpa would follow
the example of the improglso over
peanuts and resort to the tribunal of
justice, it would be a happier world.
The affair of the peanuts has not
been without its bitter feelings, and
has not involved natters of small consequence.
When peanuts come from
the ground, they nead cleaning and
shelling. In course oi time the growers
have organized a cooperative association.
The concerns making a bus.
iness of cleaning sad shelling peanuts
have formed a trade association.
Between the two organizations
there has been something of a feud.
The growers alleged that the cleaners
and shellers dtpressed prices, to
the loss of the former and the gain of
the latter. The growers even undertook
to have their peanuts cleaned
and shelled by a concern which was
not in the membership of the trade
association.
A " ? - * * -
a query utat dobb up in ttie mind
of the casual observer is, where did
the cleaners and shelters' association
expect their members to get business
when the growers had been reduced
to bankruptcy, and twitched to some
other crop like Bathrooms or chickens,
upon which peandt machines can.
not be profitably need, so far as yet
known in these parts?
In the peanut case, the grocers' organization
takes the initiative. In
Wisconsin, however, a milk-producers'
cooperative marketing company has
been summoned by state officials to
show why it shoald not discontinue
practices that are onfair. The practiea
chiefly in qusptipn is a "service"
ehasge exacted by. the association of
dealers. The atiegation is that
through this device members obtain
a higher price tat their milk than
fatness who are BOtaidc the association.

Survey's Motor Guide
Shows Nation's Beauties
Washington, Oct. 27.?Although it
is not generally known that Uncle
Sam is in the buide book business,
one of the most interesting guides
to motorist routes throughout the
' Golden West," is that recently published
by the U. S- Geological Survey.
The great variety of mountain scenery
to be found in Colorado and the
panoramas of the plateaus and deserts
of Utah, i> the theme of the latest
addition to the series which the
Geological Survey has been publish,
ing at intervals since 1915. Specifically,
the route described follows that
of the Denver and Rio Grande Western
railroad from Denver to Salt Lake
City.
The guide book, which may be obtained
at the department for one dollar,
not only treats of the scenery, resources
and the human activities of
the region traversed, but explains tht
forms of the mountain plains and canyons
along the route, how they hav<
been developed by the ancient terrestrial
forces. It describes the rocl
strata which undcrly the country anc
which have controlled the forms ol
the landscape. Many of the beds of
these rocks are most interesting, foi
they contain the remains of strang<
animals, now extinct, that roamed th<
country ages ago.
The skeletons of great monstert
have been unearthed in many placet
olong the route, and even their tracks
preserved in sandstone, have beer
found.
' The rocks also contain the metal
liferous ores that have made CoIorad<
and Utah famous the world over ant
have added untold millions of dollari
to the country's wealth. The guide,
book gives Interesting expositions 01
these rocks and precious minerals, de
scribed by mineralogists and geolo
gists. The history of the mining dis
tricts passed along the route formi
one of the most fascinating and ad
venturous chapters in the country'i
own history. The most interesting o:
the old damps described is possibly
Leadvilie> where great wealth in lead
silver, gold and sine was produced.

thousands of dollars of property do- j

Succeeding With Asparagus
. I " r |
. News and Courier. ^
I Congressman James F. Byrnes, who i
f made a short speech at the annual <
P meeting of the South Carolina Aspar- '
p r.gus Growers association in Ridge ]
i Springs recently, said that this orp
gahization was "the greatost forward i
step in agriculture in the lower part <
i ?of the state within his recollection." i
i The Williston Way believes that in j
, this judgment Mr. Byrnes is probably 1
i well within the mark; not because this;
association has promoted good feeling 1
- among its members and not because
> it to novr nearlng the million dollar
I mark in the value of its annual outi
put, but because "it is demonstrating
. that cooperative marketing, properly
f manager, is not only practicable but i
. the only feasible thing for the farm- (
- er."
It is only latterly that the aspara- ,
I gus growers have gotten their asso- (
- ciation on a sound basis., For a long 1
> time, says tbe Williston Way, it was ,
P an association in name only so far ua
7 the actual selling of the crop was ,
I, coitecnted. But about a year ago it ,
set up a real organization "and tor

ities of the nation, with an expcrinced
manager and an nhlo and efclent
president, it stands out n bright
ght to farmers raising other crop*."
During the past season tt was statd
by General Manager ,1 \V. .Tones,
f Ridge Springs, 116 refrigerated
ars of asparagus were shipped out
y the association members and with
xpress shipments nearly 60,000
rates of Dixie asparagus wen: to tinonsumer.
Mr. Jones believe> that
he South Carolina growers are goinv
o secure a reduction in refrigeration
harges, for which they have been
ontending, and after a thorough sur
ey of the markets he declares that
te does not think the asparagus grow
rs have anything to fear from in
reased acreage if they will organize
ind work together.
One of the most, valuabi U ? ...
he m? rnb? rs of the South vir ilji.a
Vsparugus Growers a^soc,..,! has
earned is in grading and packing
heir crop. Chief Inspector \V. 11.
iVooley stated at the recent annual
neeting that fully two-thirds of tin
nembers are now putting out prnctirally
perfect asparagus and told of
>ne grower who offered him a dollar
if a single sprig of the wrong size
rould be found in one of his packages.
The inspector, much to his surprise,
Tailed to earn the dollar.
With such a spirit it is not surprising
that the Williston Way should
ionfidently predict that the asparagus
industry in South Carolina is only in
Its infancy and that it has a bright
future before it.
Improved Methods Increase
Rice Production
Tokio, Oct. 24.?While Japan does
not produce sufficient rice for the
needs of her people, who, even after
sn elaborate banquet require a bowl
or more of their staple food, production
has kept pace with the increase
of the population. In the early days
nf the Meill mien wk?n Hi
?MV f?vpM?ntion
was 36,000,000, there was 35,000,.
D00 koku of rice produced. This year,
with a population of 70,000,000, the
crop is estimated at an equal number
of ktku. The increase in production
is due more to improved methods than
greater actusge under cultivation.
