Only 8,203,000 Bales Indicated Yield This Year. Washington, Aug. 1.-Decline of the cotton crop during July resulted in a reduction of 230,000 bales in the forecast of production issued to day by the Department of Agricul ture, a total of 8,208,000 bales being estinated as compared with 8,433, 000 bales a month ago. The con dition of the crop declined 4.5 points. Summarizing conditions the de partment issued a statement saying: "Cotton suffered more than the usual decline during July, being dam aged particularly by the boll weevil, especially in the newly invaded terri tories in South Carolina, eastern Georgia, southern and eastern Okla homia anid solbtherni Arukansas. Dam ate from this in iit throughQut the helt has been heavy and threat of tontinul a' increased damage is r:: reriou I: niany sections it to I! new growth. .-T tond n .v resulted largely n the ha'y luly rainfall which hI 'ut ' much of the V iupl if fertilizer and en ii .1 ell' a heavy grow0\th of grass which i.e::haustng m,uch ha lt remain.. rnier are unable to give a nai inisn ol fertilizer in most in n.. as has been the custom. n'hi ugh most. of the belt the pres ent condition of the plant is un prollising, since it faces on the one haniI the danger of drought and on the other increased damages from he holl weevil. "(onditions are favorable only in fringes of the belt of western -Texas, western Oklahoma along the .lississippi river from Northern Mis sissippi through Tennesee and into Mlissoouri in Virginia and North Carolina, the northern portion of South Carolina and in the delta sec tion of Mississippi where the plants are well rooted and sturdy with a gowl set of first crop boils." Cotton production this year was t'orecast today at 8,203,000 bales of 500 pounds gross weight by the de partment of agriculture basing its es tinate on the condition of the crop I July 2. which was 64.7 per cent of a normal. The condition by states follow: Virginia 82; North Carolina 75; South Carolina 62; Georgia 59; Florida 60; Alabama 58; Mississippi 68; Louisiana 59; Texas 62; Arkan sas 76; Tennessee 76; Missouri 80; Oklahoma 68; California 83; Ari zona 89; all other states 88. A crop of 8,433,000 bales was forecast from the condition on July 253vhich was 69.2 per cent of a nor mal. The condition was 74.1 per cent on .July 25 last year, 67.1 in 1919 and the ten year July 25 aver age is 75.4. Last year's crop wvas 1 3,365,754 bales, that of 1919 was 11,420,763 bales, in 1918 it wvas 12, 040,532, in 1917 it was 11,302,375 and in 1 91 6 it was 11,449,930. NOTICE TO PATRONS AND PUPILS.

Clemson Collge, July 28.-Pick ens county is making hay while the sun shines. In 1920 that mountain county bought from January 1 to June 1 some $300,000 worth of hay. One farmer bought a car of hay from the West, paying $180 for the hay and $200.19 for the freight on it. "What's the matter with us?" said County Agent T. A. Bowen, "we can grow that hay for less than $180 per car and save all the freight besides." The result of the county agent's question put to himself was a hay contest for 1921, for which the Pick ens Chamber of Commerce provided $100.00 in prizes to promote the growing of crimson clover and oats for hay. Some 50 farmers entered the contest, but because of dry weafther and poor stands many drop ped out, leaving a dozen to finish the race. Only farmers who had never grown clover before could enter the contest. Around 1,000 pounds of clo\'er seed w 2re bought co-operat ively for the contestants. The first prize of $50.00 was won by Clar'enc'e Freeman, Pickens i. 1, a onl 2-hor:e farmer who mad(e a lit tle better than three tons per acre. ie is now growing cane and peas following to see how much provend r can be grown in one year on the same land. The second prize, $25.00, was won by Leslie Morgan, Pickens, who made two tons of cured hay per acre; third prize, $15.00, by A. M. Morris, Pick ens 1 1-2 tons of hay with no fertil i:,er at all; and fourth prize, Sloan Childress, Easley, 2 1-2 tons consist ing largely of oats with very little clover. The contest has resulted, as County Agent Bowen hoped, in bringing many farmers to realize the economy of growing their own hay, and preparations are being made for seeding many acres this fall. The third prize winner, A. M. Morris, has turned back his prize money to start a tund for the 1922 contest; and the fourth prize winner, Mr. Childress, is buying enough seed to piant five acres on him one-horse farm. The county agent has advised his farmers that the hay land will make a crop of late corn even better than otherwise, provided the stand of clover was good, and many of them have their acres in corn, which is doing well. Several farmers and land owners including A. M. Morris and County Agent Bowen, are pro viding each tenant on their farms with an acre of land rent free to grow clover and oats, followed by corn. IN MEMORIUM. In loving rememlbrance of my (lear wvife, Clevie Robins Stewart, wvho en tered into eternal rest July 20, 1920, one year ago today. In the cold gr~ave I saw her lie, oh my grief too dIeepl to tell; oh, how I miss you Clevie, no tongue can ever tell. I watchedl you (lay and night, andl your dear hands I clasped, until at last, with a broken heart, I saw you breathe your last; andl bending over the open coffin, looking at your white folded hands which wvill never, no never, clasp mine in this wvorld again. Gazing upon your closed eyes from which I have so many times seen the -light of -love shine forth. Bereavements long withheld descend sometimes as chastizing grief upon our nature, to remind us of our duty 'to our Heavenly :Father, and direct our thoughts to that happy and blessed home wvhere all tears and sorrow shall be wiped away. There is healing in the bitter cup God takes awvay or removes far ,from us those wve love so dlear, to increase our faith and impress on our minds the uncertainty of life, and to teach us to look forward to that reunion in another world, where there will be no more separation and no more sad good byes. I have often been told of a wonderful country, a land that no mortal hath seen, where rivers of crystal forever are flowing. Through fields of perpetual gr'een; the "sum mer and sun are forever unclouded, andl never there falleth the night; a land where the brightness of flowers eternal and bright. They say in that land is a glorious city whose walls are jaspe'r and gold, with glittering streets of most wonderful beauty, and wealth that can never be told. They say the inhabitants never grow wveary, they never knowv sorrow or care; that joy without measure and peace everlasting are given the blessed ones there. I read in the Blible the wvonderful story how Jesus was nailed on the tree andl how in the bitterest agony dying, he opened that country to me aInd to all. By faith in his love and the grae that he gives me, I look to that country divine, and know. that among the re wards there awaiting, a robe and a crowvn shall he mine. A few ,short yC;'rs of evil past, we 'reach the hap. py shore where death divides friends at last. We shall meet to part, yes to part no more. Loving husband, J. W. Stewart.

SAME OLD STORY BUT A GOOD ONE. .Mrs. Mahala Burns, Savanna, Mo.. relates an experience, the like of which has happened in almost every neighborhood in this country, and has been told and related by thous ands of others, as follows: "I used a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy about nine years ago and it cured me of flux (dysen tiry). I had another attack of the same compaint three or four years ago and a few doses of this remedy cured me. I have recommended it to dozens of people since I first used it and shall continue to do so for I know it is a quick and positive cure for bowe1 troubles." CARD OF THANKS. We wish to thank our friends and neighbors and especially Dr. E. F. Wyatt and J. A. Cannon for their kindness during the illness and death of our dear husband and brother, F. E. Farr. May God's blessings rest upon you all. Mrs. F. E. Farr and family. H. W. Farr. HOME COMING AT TABOR. Saturday, August 13th, is home coming day at Tabor church, four miles east of Pickens.
