X ARB OCR PKO^LE SAVING? .We have been hearing much re cently about saving food to hel i win the war. Vfe have the insU- teht urging of all our informed pub lic officials and men in charge thai the people everywhere In this coun try practice some kind of selfnde- nlal of eome of the'things needed to help in winning the war. It has been suggested ITS^t a whea'tleas day every week be observed, and sugar- less day. and a‘ meatless day. How * many of these days, are observed :•» Colleton county homes? A»re our people really saving anything at all? Perhaps some of then) are. but is It because of the high prices mor * than anything else, or are a goodly number of homes In ►his, 'county really denying themSeives of some article of food to help save to “win X . the war?’* ,We hnow' of some homes where there are ••wheatless” days and "meatless'’' days, hut w • fear that this is not true In ps man.v_ as should b<- phsesrvlng them.

Both these moves are fine, and are worth a great deal to the farmers of that progressive county. The packing house will be fine for Col leton Xounty also. We.are glad to see this. But what we have mentioned things for is to raise the question as to what is being done for the farmers of Colleton county- Or rather to raise the question mt to what the farmers of Colleton county are DOING i FOR THEM SELVES. Why la it that the far era of this county, and. for that mat ter, the farmers of all the counties of this and other states, are sitting idly by f.nd permitting everythins that tends to better their conditions to be fathered and furthered by tho business.men of the towns and cit ies?. Even Orangeburg county, one of -dhe three best counties ‘in • the United States, 'according to the cen sus figures would not have had T packing house but for the aid given by the rton-farniing business men of the city qf Orangeburg. The same thing is true as to the marketin', bureau. n Farmers of Colleton, we put tfm question straight up to you: Why dp you not take hold of some of these nooded matters and brins things to pass for yourselves? Why must you wait an the non-farming, or semi-farming business man to at tend to your essential business or ganizations? Don’t you know they arej not going to do these things foe your own benefit? Do you not kmev that they are dope that Die business men qiay make more and greatc: profits? We do not Ida me the busi ness men. for thls^is an evidence o- their business acumen, but wc see reason whyXarmers shouM not be gin to attend to some of their own business. Fur an example of what it occurs fo The PreWK and Standard would be of great benefit just now is a marketing bureau for the farmer-- of Colleton county—a bureau which would not only sell but buy.
