August 4.—Vondl- tiont that confront the South In handling the 1915 cotton crop and the eondltlona a year ago arecoh- trested by W. P. O. Harding, ot the Federal Reserve Bulletin. The po sition of cotton today is much strong er and flnanlcal and other conditions are much better than a year ago, in Mr. Harding’s opinion, and If the people of the south will not weaken their position “by tripwire action," they have little to fear. t’The cotton tragedy of 1914,” nays Mr. Harding, "will be succeed ed In 1915 by nothing more serious than a drama.” Mr. Harding warns the south In its desire to see a broad market established for cotton to do nothing to . embarrass President Wilson In his conduct of Internation al affairs. “It should be remember ed,” says Mr. feJIarding. ’•that He president owes a higher duty to th south, to the whole country and to^ mankind, at this- juncture then th« ■r establlsment of cqtton .values. Se rious complications between this country and any, .foreign icountry certainly would not erihiyice cotton . values.*’ • . . ~ | 'Lodge, Aug. 9.—Whenever your scribe falls to contribute his local, he always has the feelings of the defaulter.

S. department of agriculture. No. 277, entiled '"Cotton Warehouse Construction.'* Type* of ware houses designed to command a low’ insurance rate and to minimixe the coat of handling are described In detail. An earlier , Investigation, the results of which have been pub lished in Bulletin Big, of the U. 9. departmentf of agriculture, showed that althougli the existing storar-e facilities In the south. If used, couM take care of an ordinary crop, few of them were properly located, mapy poorly designed, the insurance rates and cost of handling high, and that In general there was need of a great change in taking care ot the cotton crop from the time It lit picked ’Hill! finally marketed. The so-called “country damage" 1^ <octoa -s wkti- mated at from 930,400,000 to $75.- 000,000 a year, almost al\ of which could be saved w ith «.u a icqaaie warehouse system. When ..properly store-? a*fT insur ed, cotton Is considered by many to be one of the very best collaterals tbat can be Offered upon which to loan 'money.* Money loaned on cot ton stored In such warehouses should command a very low rate of inter est. One of the primary reasons that farmers and business men have for storing cotton, la to enable them to borrow money upon it. until mark et conditions improve. Tbe correct designing of a cotton warehouse is of much Importance becaase upon the construction of the warehouse depends tne rate of In surance charged for toe cotton in side It. The average Insurance rats, it Is said. In the buildings now ia use Is as high as fft a year on $100 In standard wsrenouses properly protected by aulomatre Sprinkler eqlpment. this rate could be reduced to 25 cents on $100, It la a curios fact, that many of the warehouses now in use cost more to build than If they had been made to conform to the standards. . #*,************ /‘SOWJDATS AND WHEAT* / OBITUARY * Vi WILL AGAIN BE ADVICE ******* ***** After compering conditions aT-* tion certificates to help spp.i prohihi- fectine the market this year nhd tion,’on Smith CnrnUna on the I4»h * - •» •W • * / last, Mr, Harding aavs: ('onipxriMi of t'ondltlons.

On the theory that general rondi toins this fall, will he very slniilar to those of last fall, especially inso far as need for economizing and for diversification is concerned, the ex tension forces of Clemson College will devote themseWfij*, as last year, to urging the sowinf; of winter graiK crops. The extension division Is Issuing two posters which will he distribiif- ed about the state. One poster gives advice for seeding .oats and wheat. The otherj urges farmers to take ’’The Second Step-—Livestock." These posters will be placed conspic uously. TMs will be the first act of the falT campaign. Clemson College uftres farmers *0 sow large areas to Oats Mils fajl. To this advice is added the warding ♦hat farmers should get their oats in the ground earlv and not wait "ntM late, as so many-did last voar The seeding (if oajs,,- should bogie about the s nd of September. Farmers are “advised *o sow enough for home consumption. The state has ever/ reason to feet satis fied with the wheat experiment of ♦ast fall. Today there are probably more flour mills in South Carolina that! ever before and the railroads have granted favorable shipping rates. South Carolina is now in p nosition to raise enough wheat for her ’own bread .’and this Is what should be done. The college will also urge upon farmers the iniportanee of giving "lose* attention to fall and winter gardens and to poultry. These things are monev-savers that are possible to every farmer. Although conditions are enough like those of last vear to warrant advising the same farm practice, the general agrionltural situation is ex- oedted to be far brighter this fail and itvi* 5 not likelv that there wtil he artVthing like the demoralization and discouragement o.* 1914.
