OF FOOD CROPS
i? ..
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. C.
"To The Farmer."
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.
W4 further feel that unless something
is done along these lines thai
next season may see the Southerr
cctton fields white with cotton witV
no labor to harvest it and with 'th<

Allies to carry the war to a victorious
conclusion. 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.
Yours very truly,
W. Gordon McCabe & Co.

(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

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.
