..LTha devastation wrought by the boll weevil' to tha cotton, orop of
Barnwell County has once more cruelly remanded the farmers that it is
poor business judgment to depend upon the one-crop system. Lulled by
the comparatively small amount of damage duxsng tha hot, dry summers
of 1925 and 192$; whea good crops were produced, many fondly believed
that the weevil menace had passed. Their experience this year proven con
clusively that such is not the case. r * ^
Barnwell County leads the State in diveniflcaiion, but one more crop
is needed to make an ideal system. It Is tobacco. Beginning in the early
Spring, many farmers market kbpuragito to b« followed by cucumbers,
watermelons add cotton. Tobacco Would be marketed after watermelons
and jwt ahead of cotton. Probtably^the one thing that kelpa the "weed”
from being planted quite generally is the fact' that it is not * lazy man’s
crop. It also requires motb intelligence than the average negro, born and
reared in a cotter? field, can command. However, it is said to be a very
profitable crop eevemi years out of ten and tfiose who give it intelligent
work are rewarded with liberal profits.
Tobacco was tried on a small scale in this county a few years ago,
hut because the farmers didn't get rich quidk the first year they gave up
in dikgust and returned to cotton. No crop that has enriched so many
people should be condemned because of one failure, caused mainly by in<-
experjence. Think of the many times that the planting of cotton has
proved disasterous! • ^
Over in Orangeburg, the members of the Young Men’s Business
League of that city are encouraging the farmers .to plant tobacco next
year, offering to build a warehouse and provide a market if the farmers
agree to plant 2,000 acreq. Something along the same line should be done
ini Barnwell. A warehouse adjacent to the tracks of the Atlantic Coast
Ltrre Railroad is already available. With sufficient acreage, no difficulty
will be experienced in getting buyers to come here.
* . Already a number of local farmers have signified their intention of
pioneering the movement nfext year, ft* is reported that R. R. Moore, a
progressive farmer of the Smelling secUort, will plank 30 acres; Barney F.
Owens* of Dumbarton, stated Thursday that he will plant 15 acres if there
it a probability of a convenient market; Terry Richardson, of Barnwell, will
probably plant 15 or 20 acres; Herbert W. Sanders, also of/this ctiy, will
plant a small acreage, and there are others who can be induced to give the
crop a trial.
One barn; wo are told, will take care of five actaa The cost of the
building is not prohibitive and where it is advisable to make the experi
ment on a small scale, two or more fanner s could cooperate, each
planting a small “patch” until they had learned how to grow tobacco
profitably.
The lands of Barnwell County am said to be admirably adapted to the
production of bright leaf tobacco, which commands the best prices on the
markets.
In a very short time the cotton crop will have been harvested. As
sooni a* that is out of the way, we suggest that the banker* and butoiess
men invite the fanners to meet with £hetn at the 1 Court House slid see
Whether or not a sufficient acreage can be pledged to intaraat buys— waul

This section of South Carolina is too fine to allow it to remain in a
continual state of deprersion and “hard times.” when just a little coopera
tion between the business merv and the fanner* can provide a safe founda
tion upon which to build a generous prosperity.
We are interested in knowing what our readers think of thia sugges
tion and wilt gladly give first-page prominence io any comment* along this

A martrhis wife and daughter spent
a few hours in Barnwell Thursday af

to Boetxxrt. They are making the long
journey a-foot, except flor occasional
rides given them by passing motor
ists. The trio left Savannah Wednes-

has come into some question. Ameri
ca needs her good flyers to teach and
inspire the youth of the land in fly-
lag—and not to risk life unnecessari
ly in stunts which mean nothing par
ticular to advancement of aviation.
Tha resulth attained through stfsunt
flying are not worth the great risks.
In spite of the fact that a very
II cotton crop is being made in
Barnwell County tha year, the farm
ers are cheer Ail. the reason being
that the price continue* it* upward
climb, which offset# to a great degree
he ravages of the boll weevil during
he summer. If the prices continue
on the upgrade, the grower* will re
chive as much or mote for the abort
crop a* they dU for the bumper yield
last year and »Uo save on picking
and ginning.
Trading has been more active in the
cotton n)*rke‘. than it has been for a
like period in several years and the
price has been almost steadily upward
notwithstanding a vast amount of
liquidation *nd profit taking.
As a result of the big gains of
Friday and Saturday, following rather
more two-hided fluctuation* earlier
in tha .waak whaa ■aieoag sffinii were
made to bring about a reaction, the
market advanced 189 point* from the

At last, it would seem, a very per
plexing question ha* beem removed
from the mail bag of etiquette au
thorities and no longer will it be
nseewary to “guess” in reply to the
q<—tion: “When sn engagement is
broken is it necessary for the young
lady to return the engagement ring.”
A legal ruling has been handed
down in an Eastern court, the magis
trate holding that, since the engage
ment is off, the man who bought the
solitaire is entitled to keep it The
young woman who had her ex-fiance
arrested tor larceny when he took
back the diamond engagement ring,
was naturally very much disapointed.
Now the matter is settled officially.
Of coarse the youhg women will
continue to decide the question in the
future, probably, as they think best.
To avoid disappointment, however,
me suggest the young man wlp boys

Another cause for the active de
mand for contracts was the advice
that spinner* were becoming alarmed
at the situation and were buying
■pots more freely, the spot sale* in
Southern markets now running ahead
from day to day of the spot sales in
the same markets last year.

Another stimulating influence has
bran the belief that the new govern
ment report would show a further re
duction in the production forecast,
many traders looking for 13,000,000
