The latest to gain recognition is Mr. John Rice; « son of the late Judge Ben *i\ Rioe, of this city. Several years ago, he and his mother and two brothers moved to Columbia, where John engaged in the practicje of law. lu addition to his law practice, he has engaged in farming “on the side” and Sunday’s issue of The Columbia Record contained the following in teresting account of his agricultural activities: One of Richland County’s most promising young peach farmers is .

'> John I.'-Rico, prominent young Columbia attorney, whose orchards * X, are located about a dozen miles from Columbia on the Camden road. farm contains 104 acres, of which 65 are devoted to peaches. Although this, orchard has been put out less than three years, Mr. Rice Mates that he will gather between 1,500 and 2,000 crates of paaches this year, which is considered-a very fine yield far the first crop. Mr. Rice' has only two varieties of peaches on the farm,*the Elberta and the Georgia Belle. A reporter of The Record, in com pany with Mr. Rice, paid a visit to the orchards. The reporter was very much impressed with the well grown and well kept orchard. Noticing that the trees were well grown for throe years of age. Mr. fyice was asked about the kind and amount of fertilizer used. “Of commercial fertilizer we used for each tree about two and a half pounds of nitrate of soda, and about twice that amount of an 8-3-5 mix ture. We also plant a cover crop on the ground each year, either velvet beans or rye, turning this under. We find that this cover crop helps a great deal.” “How has. the market been for peaches this year,” Mr. Rice was asked. "We have done remarkably well this year, I think. On the, local mar ket at Columbia and a few towns nearby in which we have sold, we have averaged between $1.50 and $2 a bushel,” he replied. He stated fur ther that it is not his intention of growing peaches mainly for the local market, hut because of the fo.ct that the crop turned out better than ex pected, this year, it was necessary to nut the fruit on the local market. Mr. Rice was asked about the dis posal of his fruit next year in case there should be any reason for a poor market. “I am expecting to put up a tan nery for fruit that gets too ripe for shipping purposes and of course if the market should fall-so there would be no profit in shipping,.. I could can my peaches.” Hfr. Rice stated. Mr. Rice in addition to his peach farm tried a few acres of dew ber ries this year and he stated that he was well pleased with the expei iment.

New Orleans, Aug. 2.—The- past week in the cotton market witnessed _ ,’4 ‘ —r* a culmination' of the advance, which started after publication of the last government report, reaction wiping -out the greater part of that advance. Monday Octobet traded up to 25.03, 203 points above the level prevailing before the last government report was issued &n<l Friday October was down to 23.44, or 159 points below the peak nf the recent advance. The high of the early week was the result of speculative buying, which featured the sensationally bullish con dition report and crop forecast issued July 23. Until Monday Jthe dry con dition in the western belt remained unrelieved.,- Since then, the greater part of the western belt has received good rains. ) Accordingly speculative interests, which bought , on the drought, sold freely mi the rains and -prices eased oflKin consequence. Secretary Hester announced Satur day that the consumption of Ameri can cotton the past season totalled 14,247,000 bales and carryover ait the end of the reason was only 2^80,- 000 bales. These totals were consid- fcre&tfxtremeAy bullish as they showed hat despite the large crop marketed last season, the carryover into next season has been barely moPe than / half million bales greater than a year ago, when it was considered that sup plies had reached famine proportions.

This is to be a year of construction and expansion to care for thelp^es- ent demand for service ^nd. provide for the needs of the immediate future. ^ During the five-year period, including 1925, our plans require an expenditure of $3,460,000 in South Carolina. Practically all of this is pew money, which must be secured from investors. '■r There is* no difference in interest between the tele-' phone subscriber and the telephone stockholder. If we serve the owners of the property wisely and efficiently, we shall render the largest benefit to the public. , / We must have rates low enough to enable every person who ought to have a telephone to have one, but sufficient to pay the cost of producing the service and • earn enough to attract capital to take care of this growth. • ■ v . \ • ’ * / , v •• S'.'
