COTTON IS LOST.
Some of the farmers are seeing
this year what the boll weevil can
and will do to them in the destruction
of crops. It is discouraging to
see a large field of fine cotton almost
entirely denuded of bolls. Thw
is what we all see in many places now
whenever we take the trouble ol look- j
ing. It means that the farmer who '
has depended on cotton must learn
to depend on something else to more
or less extent, and th-3 sooner h
can make this change the better it
will be for all.
As we have so often said the racing
of cattle and hogs is a good thin?:
in this county just as the farmer
choose to make it so. There ar?
people in this county making money
on raising stock this year. We wain
to see the number of that kind increase.
After this we hardly think that
any -of the farmers will neglect the
planting of the supply crops. They
will not neglect these they are used
to do, for they now know that it
will mean ruin to depend on cotton. I
With plenty of supplies raised on the
farm the planters will he just as independent
as they ever were, provided
they manage in the right way.
Then there is the tohaeeo crop for
which there is so much suitable
ground in this county. Although war
prices will never prevail again very
soon, yet the average price that can
be had for this crop per acre is an
inducement to the planters to make
tobacco a part of th?ir rotation of
crops. The tobacco crop is sure to be
on tho increase in Horry County, af- i
tor this year. It can take the place
of cotton in Horry whereas the farm
ers in many other counties will find ,
it necessarv to hunt something else. |
Tn the States where the boll wee- I
vil has taken cffect for a number
of years pa^t. and where the farmers
have been compelled to turn
their attention to other things instead,
't is now claimed that conditions
are greatly improved over what
they were when they all planted cotton
and depended on it. Wo are
looking for the same beneficial
chancres here within the next few
years.

"Even a Ford car will wear onf
some time and without oil it will
not go anywhere.
o .
Try to avoid the loss of fine things
by failing to give them the necessary
care and attention after they
are put into use.
Those who expect to make anything
on ctftton after this will have
to get it in the ground early and
mature it in June. That is the way
it looks now.
o
Tlv.* growing of truck for the markets
should ho encouraged in t h i:
section of tho ?tato. In some of the
other coast courses farmers arc
making good money every year on
lettuce.
Why is an ice pick a good too
about other th'ngs besides ice foi
which it was invented and firs1
used ? Because by its use one car
got to a fine point in required opera
tions.
There i.-- a lack of jobs wa ting fo>
the man now who could pull dowi
big money about a year ago by on I;
half filling his position. There ha
comt a great change and there wer
many who did not thrnk it could eve
happen.
o
Lubrication of machinery is ius
as necessary as blood in our bodies
There are m^ny who do not knov
this. A machine that is poorly lu
bricated will wear out in a shor
time and become worthless, whil
one that is not lubricated at al
will often ruin itself in a few hour?
o
The way to get business is to g
after it. Conway needs and want
all of the tobacco business the towi
can get. It would therefore pay t
get the prize houses buijt by anothe
year and just as many more im
provements of that kind as it is pos
?ible to mak6. . ,?...

farmers carnot rai?e cotton as
money crop on account of the bol
they will be compelled t
turn their .ittention to the next bos
thing in this section, whicn is to
bacco. They will raise more an
trore, and if they have any sens
they will improve the grades tha
they raise from year to year.

T
\s Horry County is bound to be
'onie a great tobacco raiding county,
the business men of the town
f C' nway should redouble their efforts
to provide hero by the next
eaion all of the facilities and build
ings that can possibly be needed for
taking of the larger and larger
crops that the farmers will produce.

Now is the time when the Summer
dwellers at the beach and tin; mountain
side ^ill be returning to their
winter quarters. Just as they sought
coolness in the hot days, they
will seek warmth in the cool days,
and so it goes. People who feel
that they must accomplish something
in this world, cannot afford to
lose too much time in trying to follow
the climate. Many have overdone
it.
o
CLEAN SEED POTATOES.
Clemson College.?There are maj- ,
or potato diseases and about ten
times as many minor ones. South
I Carolinians do not know anything
about a lot of these and it is to be :
hoped that they never will. But
a great many South Carolinians are
importing some of them every year 1
on northern grown potato seed and ;
are planting the seed without so
much at*, a disinfectant bath. And '
|every time a grower does this he '
learns something he did not need t<>
know about some potato disease.
I Growers can do at least two
things, suggest the plant pathologists. 1
o Irmivc uie greatest possible freedom
from potato disease.s
1. Insist on getting "certified" j
seed. Northern seed growers who
are willing to have their crops inspected
during the growing season
and at harvest time by federal or
state inspectors can have their crop 1
"certified" if it meets certain standards.
Such seed will cost the South
Carolina planter more than the un
certified seed but it is worth more. . 1
2. Give the seed from any source 1
a treatment in a solution of eorosiv- 1
sublimate or formaldehyde. The
cleanest looking seed may bring the '
spores of one or more destructive
diseases to the farmer.
Farmers should avoid making
even a speaking acquaintance with 1
these diseases. Otherwise they will
soon be entirely too familiar.
The county agent? or the botany
division. Experiment Station Clemson
College, S. C., can furnish information
of value in this connection.

house, guided by a staff' of efficiency
engineers, said in reference to the
arrangements of the departments:
Tremendous Increase in Costs.
"In the course of the preparation
of 770 charts, showing in detail the
present organization of the departments
making up the Washington
service, tho commission has become
convinced that there .are many op-'
portunities for increased economy
and efficiency that would bo brought {
to light by a systematic measuring j
up of the existing org, nizations and j
existing methods of doing depart-;
mental business with standards that
have developed in the business world
through the incentive of competition.
It has noted complex, indefinite,
poorly designed organization; inadequate
provisions for administrative
control and supervision, apparent
duplication between departments and
within departments, conflict of authority
and overlapping of functions;
overmanning, under standardized procedure,
unnecessary records and
other unbusinesslike methods."
Very recently a group of engineers
made an unofficial survey of the gov
ernment activities as related to engineering,
architectural and public
works, finding that construction work
of one kind or another is in the
hands of nine separate departments,
operating through 34 bureaus or
services, together with four agencies
not attached to the departments.
This makes 3K in all, and the annual
expenditure for construction of all
sorts for the government amounts
to more than half a billion dollars
a vear.

NATIONWIDE FIGHT
ON MALNUTRITION
The story of a nation-wide effort
to eliminate undernourishment in
growing children is told in the
scrapbook of a milk specialist from
the federal department of agriculture,
who has cooperated in the
last two years in more than forty
milk campaigns held in cities and
rural districts throughout the
United States. All of these campaigns
have been held in the interest
of better health for children,
and in every case where a milk
compaign has been put on there
has been an increase in the consumption
of milk, which has amounted
to as much as 80 per cent in
some cities. What this means to the
lipnltli of t.hr country is hard to mons
lire, for milk campaigns put on in
one city have resulted in more campaigns
in neighboring cities and
rural districts, and the milk week
lias grown into a long education on
the food values of milk.
The milk campaign week was
started in Connecticut in 1918,
when six cities, the first of which
were Hartford and New Haven, organized
to combat undernourishment
among their school children,
rhe movement spread to Rhode Island,
where Newport took up the
work, and this campaign was followed
in rapid succession by campaigns
in four New Jersey cities.
Boston then went a step further,
and put on a twelve months cam>aign.
Among other cities which
have taken up the work are l)e
troit, Pittsburg, Kansas City
Topeka, Davenport, Iowa City,
.\kron, Spokane, Seattle and Madison.
Other cities have planned campaigns;
and Iowa and Kansas put
on a State-wide campaign for two
years with splendid results.
"What is behind the great inlerest
in milk?" asks a bulletin ot
the department, and answers, Undernourishme'nt.
There are many
children that are under weight and
undernourished. A survey of 10,000
Chicago school children showed that
40 per cent were 7 per ccnt underweight
and the investigatois were
surprised to find that of those underweight
57 per cent were from
comfortable homes in the residential
section, and only 16.2 per cent were
from the stock yards district. "This
fact,' says the milk utilization
specialist," 'demonstration the need
for teaching more about the value
of foods, ?for the fault here was
not poverty but ignorance of the
necessity of certain foods or growing
children.'
"Undernourishment is not confined
to the cities. In one of the
counties in the richest agricultural
section of Kansas it was found that
of 0"9 children in 30 school districts
110 were at 'east 10 per cent
underweight and only 42 per cent,
of them used milk every day. Also
in three townships in Iowa 51 pe;
<"ent of the children .wore underweight."
'From figures like these a citv
r ay gi uge the necessity of a milk
campaign," says the specialist. "A
'nmpaimi is never conducted by the
Dairy Division of the United States
Department of Agriculture unles.there
is a local feeling that it is
needed. It i& then made certain
that th?"? milk is pure and wholesome,
that the supply is adequate,
and the price reasonable to the
producer, the distributor and the
consumer. In such campaigns the
Dairy Division co-operation of the
local agencies."
The value of milk in the diet
has been shown very strikingly in
the milk-feeding demonstrations
carried on in the schools. In Kansas
City, for instance, a survey in a
certain school district in May, 101;?

had fallen to 2"> por cent

expected that all would ho brought
up to normal in a short time

COUNTY IN TEXAS HAS " 1
FINE HOME-LIKE JAIL
If you happen to visit the county
jail in Breckenridge. Texas, and see 1
a group of men playing cards or r
dominoes or some other game; if :
you happen to be there at noon i
and see these same men prepare 1
and cook a meal that would satisfy ]
the appetite of a hard-working <
harvest hand; if you happen to see <
a certain solidly built, companion- j
able man who seems to be the
"ringleader" of the bunch, you will t
wonder where the prisoners are, yon t
will wonder what the hilarity is all t
about, and you will wonder who the <
companionable ringleader is. i
The group of men are the prison- t
ers, says the Baltimore Sun, the
games and banquettuig a?*e a dailv t
routine and the solidly built "pris- i
oner" is not a prisoner at all?he is i
the jailer. James B. Harrison, th^ t
jauer, nas made it his business >n i
life to "brim? up" prisoners and h^ 1
tries to make his companions feel \
literally "at home." 1
To accomplish this purpose Ha'*- t
rison chums with the prisoners, h* *
eats with them, plays with them i
and tells them they are not 'had i
fellows' at all. Tho jailer not onTv c
keeps them supplied with ma pa- ?
zincs, newspapers and indoor ?amc\ j
but they enjoy music and movies. *
The men prepare and cook thci> i
own meals. ?
They can have anythmrr to en' \
thoy want. A plate of food is no' \
shoved through Iho cel^ door v.' (
them, not in Harrison's toil. Tnst^a^ 1

mittiniy th? men to prepare their own (

"The chocolate pies th?se men 1
make are wonderfu'." said Harri- i
son, "and the way they can cook 1
other dishes is a great surprise. Th ^ ]
boys liave games, magazines, news- :

mit the prisoners to assemble at the ]
windows in the jail overlooking an

We are trying to beautify
the plot of ground around the jail

PARMER AS A FACTOR IN
THE PROSPERITY OF NATION
In its September review the National
City?Bank of New York says.
Hie plea of the labor leaders against
i reduction of wages would bo sound
f wages were being reduced below
.he level of prices ruling for the
products of labor, or below the general
compensation of the great body
>f workers outside of their own organizations.
The trouble at the present time is
:hat what the labor leaders are protesting
against has already happened
;o more than one-half the worker-?
>f this country. The former are tryng
to maintain the pay of a minority
at the expense of the majority.
The farmers and producers of practically
all primary products and raw
naterials have taken reductions of
ipproximately one-half the value oe
heir products. The prices of their
products are back to the pre-war
evel. They have lost a great proportion
of the purchasing power they
lave been using in recent years, and
lie market for the services of all
he workers who have been supply
4-1 1 u. ; l ?i 1
ii^; trill-in iu^ ut'trn tin tuiini attuiunerly.
This is the fundamental cause
>f the unemployment which has
spread over this country in the last
/ear, since cotton, corn, oats, live
stock, rice wool, hides, dairy prod
icts, flax seed, the principal metal
ind other primary products he^an to
'all. It is true that as factoryvorlcers
and others were thus fo'-cod
>ut of employment the evil effects
lave been increased, hut the original
mpiflse and the main influence com\s
from this great bod" of people
>vhr extract wealth dirertly from
mture and who are largely dependent
upon wov'd markets.
Moreover there is n<> prospect rr
i recovery of farm nrodn^ts to th ?
ev^ls of war time. Doubtless thrv
ire now unduly depressed and will
swing back to a norma-1 levol with
improvement in general ronditi^ns
nit any exnectation that thev wi"

present rreneral level of waives and
