LOWLANDS CONGRESSMAN HARE WANTS SWAMPS DRAINED. Also Says That Federal Inspection Service Should Be Expanded on “Dumped” Cars. 4. Washington, Sept. 4.—Congress man B. B. Hare of the Second South Carolina District has been here dur ing the past week conferring with Officials of the division of drainage of the Department of Agriculture as to the possibility of draining the swamps and lowlands of the coastal counties of the Palmetto State, especially those in his own district. Mr. Hare is satisfied that if the swamp lands along the coasts of South Carolina and Georgia were properly drained thtkr agricultural potentialities would increase to such hn extent that they would be “among the very best and most productive areas in the country, particularly for fruits, truck crops and vegeta bles.’* “The soil,” he says, “is ex ceedingly fertile and full of humus, and a proper system of drainage would make it the El Dorado of the South.” While the Congressman is optimis tic over the prospects, he neverthe less recognises that a number of ob stacles and difficulties will have to be met and removed before it will be removed possible to accomplish what he pro poses to undertake in Congress with regard to drainage, but he thinks that “with determined effort and^ consentrated action it should be pos sible to attain the end desired within the next decade.” Another matter which Representa tive Hare said he intended to press as soon as Congress meets in Decem ber is that of legislation to expand the existing Federal inspection service which applies to the marketing of fruits and truck crops. "No broker or commission merchant,” declared the Congressman, “should be allowed to report a car or shipment of fruit or perishable truck as being ‘dumped’ until he first hold* a certificate from a government inspector authorizing it, because under existing conditions unscrupulous commission merchants may report to the shipper that his car of fruit or vegetables has been ‘dumped’, and the shipper has no way of knowing whether it was sold and the proceeds pocketed.” Mr. Hare looks forward to being able to secure the necessary legisla- j tbn in this particular before the, next crop season begins. “Such an i extension of the inspection service,” he holds "should prove to be of great value not only to the shipper for the reason that it would remove the pos sibility of his being deliberately rob bed as is now sometimes charged, but to the honest commission mer chant who now' has to suffer because a few unscrupulous commission mer chants by unfair dealings can create a reputation or impression by which ‘the good as well as the bad are in jured.”—News and Courier. Save Planting ‘ * ' '' ■rnmmmmmmrn ~ Few farmers realize the importance of the saving of cotton seed for plant ing. Good seed is one of the most Important foe tors in the making of « profitable crop. This holds true with practical]^ all crops, especially does it apply £o cotton. Seed that are damaged or immature or badly mixed should never be used for planting pur poses. While th^ season has been unusually dry, seed should be saved from ^he early picking, as the first boils opened are more nearly matur ed than the last which are now open ing. Another big factor is the ginning, which should be done in a private gin where possible. If this can. not be (to’fie, a public gin may be used if the seed roll is thrown before the cotton to be saved for seed is ginned. We wou^d ordinarily get a mixture ten to twenty-five per cent, from a toale of cotton which was ginned just before hand. Where public or pri vate gins are used we can easily see the value of cleaning out the seed line and disposing of the roll in the jgin before beginning.

Fatty degen eration of the heart kills many. Fat accumulates on middle-aged business men, and that kills them before their time. In old age especially fat is dan gerous. And in old age it is most difficult to get rid of dangerous fat. The heart won’t stand exercise that might take the fat off. The feeble will cannot control diet. The safest place In the world as regards accidents is the cabin of u big steamship on the ocean. Next in safety comes a railroad train, and before long the flying machine will be safer than either. The man in greatest danger is the fat man past middle age, eat ing heartily and hurriedly when he is tired. Don’t insure him. Good, news for little automobile owners. Gasoline prices are slashed all over the country. Yes terday, in Eastern territory, the cut was three cents a gallon.. In the Middle West many buy gas under 14 cents. It makes a big difference to those that count The cost of living and motoring. It means nothing to the big men; they don’t care what gasoline costs. And many of them, owning oil stocks, feel rather sad. A three- cent cut in gas may mean a $30 drop in oil stocks. A short-horn bull was sold in the Argentine Republic yesterday for $60,000, record price for that breed. The real record is the Govan News. Monday was salesday and while quite a number of farmers were in the city for the purpose of ginning and selling cotton, the attendance at the legal sales was small.

Barnwell People Must Believe Such Convincing Tentimony as Mrs. Gignilliatt’s. No one in Barnwell who suffers backache, headaches, dizziness, rheu matic pains or distressing urinary ills can afford to ignore this twice- told story of a Barnwell resident. It 4s confirmed testimony, telling of last 'ing benefit from Doan’s Pills—a slim ulant diuretic to -the kidneys. It’s 'evidence that no man or ‘Woman in Barnwell can doubt. Mrs. R. C.

Theyt are built to give ' • " 'Vii price paid in this country by the Carnation Farms Company for a Holstein bull—$102,000. ^ These prices show what can be done by breeding among animals. You can get a periectly good bull for $40. But a little change in the shape of the animal, pro duced by a careful selection of the mysterious chromosomes, makes a big difference. Students of eugenics think care ful breeding will produce equal improvement m human beings, They are mistaken. Learned men, including church men, once taught that there was a roof to this earth, solid, held up by its own strength and called the sky. When Galleo denied it and said the earth was a round ball whirl ing around the sun, he had to get down on his knees saying that he ‘‘retracted, abjured and abhorred bis false teachings”—which hap pened to be perfectly true. The idea of a solid sky above us, with stars planted in it here and there,-faded out: But hbw tlfe radio experts of the Navy say the earth actually has a “roof’ of an other kind. It exists, presumably, where our thin atmosphere melts awgy into the ether, “ an ionized region in the higheTlevptw-of-tba.- atmosphere,” - the scientists call it. Tfie Industrial resources of the South I are so diversified that the r Railway System is fortunately able to purchase a large part of its supplies along its own rails. While we are carrying the products of our shippers to the markets of the t 'V country, we are also buying from luml for our own use coal, iron -ties, equipment, rails— the thousahd^nd one things that are needed to operate^^nd maintain a railroad system of the tnagnitude of the Southern.
