Pick GREATER INTEREST BY CHURCH NEEDED 1 1 - . i ! Secretary Lane Suggests to Presbyterian New Era Conference MOVE IN DIRECTION Of THE GOLDEN RULE I As a moans of Solving Vital Problems in Society and Economics Lake Geneva, Wis.?Greater ininterest by the church in social and economic questions was suggested today by Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the interior, in a message to the new era conference of the Presbyterian church of the United States of America, which is discussing a five-year church program to meet after the war problems and conditions. These questions, the secretary of the interior said he hoped would be studied "neither from the standpoint of justifying the conditions which exist nor from the slandpoint of creating an ideal society." "The world wants progress," he said, "and docs not hope for a full realization of the golden rule today, but it must move steadily and definitely in that direction." Secretary CWno suggested that the conference appoint committees to "report authoritatively" on the following questions: , "flow can profit sharing be most simply and easily effected in industry ? "pow far should workers he entrusted with control of managerial policies ? "Can not a move be started to remove large industries and small from cities into towns and villages where the workers could have their own homes? "How may the social advantages of the country be provided in the country ? ... iii .1 E E ' ' UH't Hamsbotti d on Stake and Fail AUCTION - CASH PRIZl EVERYBODY ATTENDIN ' A, lendid small farms, Ramsbottom 3 mile from Clarendon, N.

The condition of the cotton cr ?p ? v< ry discouraging, he says, and he does not see how the crop condition could be estimated at more than >7 per cent. There has been an abnormal growth of the stalk, but the cotton has no* fruited, and the boll worm has worked ha roc in different States. He advised the farmers to hold. Hi> statement follows: At a meeting of the board of directors of the American Cotton Association July 14 in Atlanta, I was asked 11, go to Oklahoma and set. up the organization of the American Cotton Association on August 10. I started or. my journey to that State and am proud to say that my efforts were not in vain. I found the farmers, bankerr and business men very much interested in the organization, and had no trouble in setting up tbe organization, and I feel sure that it will oniy be a short whilo before that great State will be thoroughly organized. On my way to Oklahoma, I went by way of Birmingham, and Memphis, and from there I went over the Rock Island railroad to Oklahoma; this route carried mo through Birmingham, Ala., Tennessee, Arkansas, into East Oklahoma. I arranged to travel this route the whole way in the day time so I could get a good view of the crops. Now I will tell you just what condition I found them in. I found that each of the above named States had suffered from the same conditions; first too much rain, then hot dry weather. I found that cotton was sn ail from being drowned out, then the hot sun had caused it to turn yellow and stopped the growth and it was shedding all young fruit. There lis no possible chance for a top cover. No crop can stand two extremes and ever recover so as to make anything V THE HORRY HERALD, PC Iar! t , /. . 1111 1 ? mm^mmmmmmmmm " at the Si Dm, Butle r Bluff to Clarendon Clarend -Friday, Se| ES BRASS 6 THE SALE WILL BE ENTI1 BARBECUE DINNER WILL RCOPDinTiflM rtr Tiir nn! uLoumr ilurc ur int rn! , Butler and Walker farms, subdr a splendid neighborhood, within n a total of about 17 00 acres, wh small enough to place the prope red clay subsoil, which produces , v/hich insures proper drainage, s at a premium at this time, is in iy.

" wniiu in uKianoma Uity, a friend 01 mine took mo out in the country some 20 miles so as to got a good view of the/crops. 1, personally examined a field of cotton which wu* above the average. I counted the bolls . Ion 50 stalks. These stalks were the [best I cculd find and they only averr.;ved ' ix bolls to the stalk, and on a 1 great many of these stalks the youngIci bolls were very badly sunburnt and. would never develop into a good boll of cotton. This field of cotton hail entirely stopped growing. Not a fcioom could be seen in the fields. The g found was literally covered with squares and young bolls that had utopped off on account of the dry hot weather. They had had no rain for five weeks. The thermometer registered from 100 to 105, with hot winds blowing. The grass along side of the railroad was parched, and sparks from the murine had fiuspil the grass to burn. To keep the wheat ard stubble fields from burning, they had to plow a strip of land some ten feet wide so as to save the grain from burning. In the corn fields, you could not sec a single green blade. It looked as if one stalk should catch on fire the whole field would burn. It could not possibly make over a half crop. I met the farmers from the State of Kansas, and they reported that the Kansas crops were burned up and would not make a half crop. The same reports came from other States in the West. On my return home I came back over another route, leaving Fort Worth, Texas over the Texas & Pacific by way of Dallas and Shreveport and through Louisiana to New Orleans. As to crop conditions in Texas, I found that excessive rains had damaged t.ho r>rr?ri<a vovw krwllir ? - "t *.T lynvtiJ . J and I personally examined a field of cotton there that the boll weevil had completely destroyed. This cotton was as high as my head and only had about three bolls to the stalk and the boll worm had destroyed them. There was not a single bloom in the field and every square that was large enough had been punctured. I saw some farmers from Bu County, Texas, who said they did not believe that would be a single bale of cotton ginned in that county this year. The weevil had done greater damage this year than has ever been known. The farmers of the State of Texas met last week and they estimated the crop j condition of Texas at 48 per cent, and MWAY, S.

One 'king good I can say for Texas is they have a fine corn crop this year. By : far the best corn crops I have seen j lids year, and the best they have j made in 20 years, as it takes a great j d? al of rafti to make com in that; State. This brings me to the State o/ i Louisiana and their cotton arop is the poorest thud, has ever been known ih history, caused bv too much ra n. Also the same thing can be said of Mississippi and Alabama. After summing- up the whole situation, I do not see how the August 25 condition report can be more thun 57 per cent and the crops are deteriorating now every day. I want to say i o the farmers not to be in a harry to have your first cotton ginned. It will pay you to keep it in the seed for a while, and the longer you keep it? the higher the price will go. We have a cotton famine, and the world knows it. I saw an advertisement last week tike this in the Oklahoma Daily News: A cotton firm in New York advertised I that they would pay 33 cents a pound for 15,000 bales of middling cotton of the 1919 crop delivered at any compress. This shows that they have to have cotton to fill contracts that they have sold, and they well know that ii they do not buy cotton before November 1, that it will be very much higher by that time. I have never seen before an advertisement like this for cotton. All you have to do now with the new crop is to just hold it off the market and they will beg you for it and at your price. o DOUBLING THE CORN YIELD IN DILLON Clem son College.?Purebred com means more corn. In other word *, "blood will tell" in corn as well as :n animals anl people. That the yieici of corn can be greatly increased, once farmers are induced to use purebred seed; is well illustrated by the experience of three farmers in Dillon whom County Agent S. W. Epps induced to use purebred seed this year. He reports as follows: "Visited three of my. demon str;i tors that I succeeded in getting to plant pure seed corn. All three men are well pleased with the seed an I say it will make considerable more than any they have ever plantel. Mr. Z. A. Ellen planted one field in the pure seed and right near he planted, another field in his be*t seed. j ? L IJ LiL.L. ' ^|||^ .,v% ... i ( Iker Tract from Tabor and om m ii, 10:30 A.
