The Herald has received the letter which appears below, and is requested to publish the same by Mr. L, L. Rogers of Mullins, S. C. The Herald b ilieves that the farmers should plant largely of food crops this year and iL is certain that too much cotton would be unwise; but on the other hand we fcnow that clothing* is a necessity as well as food, and when we remember that cotton produces a good food a well as material from which clothes are made we arc obliged to say that v;c would doubt the wisdom of plowing up any cotton that has already been planted for the purpose of putting corn in its place; for we doubt seriously that too much cotton has in fact been planted. This letter comes too late after the cotton has been planted. The letter follows: W. GORDON McCADE & COMPANY Cotton Charleston, S. C., April 27, 1918 L L. Rogers, Esq., S District Agent, Mullins, S.

We feel that cotton has been un duly depressed and mat its intrinsic value is far above the present NewYork Future quotations, and as we advocated some time ago we now feel more than ever that it is time that everyone should give their co-operation to the vigorius prosecution of the war and that the South especially should raise such crops as are mostly needed. Therefore, we ask you to take up with your local organizations and others, advocating that some of the present cotton acreage be plowed up and replanted with food crops, especially with corn, thereby raising food crops which are so much needed and reducing the cotton crop whicn app^ently is not needed.

Again, we must not over look the fact that gain and food crop:* are greatly needed for home consumption and as the South has already been udvised that the railroad8 are taxed to their utmost capacity, the South may welt understand that transportation may not be expected for bringing food from other sections of the country to the South for their consumption. In the staple cotton districts, >t would be well to eliminate the planting of all extra staples, as exports facilities are limited and the fine goods spinners in this country to a largo extent are now working on Government Contracts for coarse goods, and we may expect a further curtailment of fine goods production, as must first look to the clothing of our men in every service and furnishing them other supplies.

' OBSERVED HERE Aftermath of "Spartanburg! Explosion'' Visible at' Charleston ' "Jit RARE PHENOMENON.. IN NORTHWEST SKY V f. . n i I j m y ' i Colored Observers Exclaim, rv n ?? iiviuaitcr l/uiiu tome, Up-State Reports. % + (Charleston Evening- Post, April 24.) Many people here last evening shortly after 8 o'clock observed a rare phenomenon in t.^e northwestern sky, when they gazed upon what has since been found to be the aftermath of a great meteoric explosion. No one has been discovered here as yet who actually saw the explosion, but several observers of the spectacular effect | have told of what was visible for several minutes just before dusk became intense. Meteorologist Scott, of the weather bureau, stated today that it would bo of much interest, if any one here of scientific training- had made accurate measurements of the position of the meteor, its precise appearance, its direction of movement, and its proportions. Reports from Spartanhui-p sind C!r?1iimhin foil r.f f-y "V v . ... kyi v? VV I A V L HIV III V I tcor's brilliant destruction. There was a crowd of people in inspection street in the number who saw the spectacle here, and colored watchers anions them exclaimed: "Hereafter done come." An observer living at Hampton Park Terrace gave out the following statement of what he saw: "I was in my back yard a few minutes after 8 o'clock last night, when my attention was called to something strange in the sky, well above the horizon, about 30 degrees, I should say, and by northwest in position. There were two or three intensely glaring lights suspended in series in an almost perpendicular, narrow snow white cloud. I could not figure out what the wonderful illumination was, but stood for several minutes watching it. I could not detect any special movement of the lights or slender cloud ribbon, but was struck with the remarkable beauty of the phenomenon, which stood clear against a black ground of unclouded blue. Some minutes later I entered the house, with the 'cloud light' still visible, and on looking for it again about ten minutes afterward 1 found it had faded away." No one here, so far as can be learned, heard the explosion described vividly at Spartanburg, and mentioned ac Columbia. The fact that the phenomenon appeared in the northwest sky here and in the southeast sky at Spartanburg serves to justify the con elusion that the great meteor was visible from coast to mountains in this State. Weather Bureau Rung Up A number oi people called up the weather bureau office last evening t<> ask what the disturbance in the sky was. Officials on duty went on the roof of the custom house and watched the display for some minutes, con-* eluding it was a meteoric "stranger," come to grief. Meteorologist Scott was at home at the time and today stated his regret that he learned of the phenomenon just too late to see it. A newsboy on Inspection street reports that he saw the meteor, as did a crowd of people there, and the colored observers were much excited and declared "hereafter done come." Seen Up-State. Following1 are Spartanburg and Columbia dispatches tolling of the meteor's performance in their territory, the more brilliant antics of the celestial visitor in that section of the State indicating that it must have been pass ing through upper South Carolina atmosphere when it exploded. ' Startles Spartanburg. Spartanburg.?A meteoric explosion in the heavens here last night startled residents of this city and apparently was visible within a radius or twenty-five mile3. The explosion cast a red glow upon the earth and left a white cloud streaming towards the east that remained clearly outlined for fifteen niinutes. At first it was believed, that it was caused by a sheltered at Camp Wads worth, but officers there said there had been no firing. n:a-?* .; Columbia Report.
