Considerable dissatisfaction is be ing voiced over and opposition i s be ing developed again t the proposed ginners’ code ad fttftd by the South ern Ginnerj Association at Memphis a short t me ago, which would fix a price of about $7.60 a bale for gin ning, bagging and ties. Manifestly, this is too high in comparis n with the present and prospective price.- for cotton and it is hardly likely that the cede will be approved by the adminis- trat^n. Knowing the ginners of Barnwell' Crunty as we do, we are quite confi dent that they dD not favor such a high scale of prices. In the past they have shown their entire willingness to cooperate with the farmers of this section in every way and we see no reason to believe that they have un dergone a change of heart. Two years ago, when cotton de clined to six cent* a pound, the gin ners cf the county met with the farm er* at the Barnwell Court H use and •greed upon • charge of 12.M) a bale, which price was also in force aga n last year Thi« being true, it L« hard ly reasonable to suppose that they would advocate a price even higher than that charged when cotton wa* 40 cents a pound We have talked with several gin ners in the past few days and wh le they admit that it will b** neces.-ary 0 to charge a higher pro* than for the past two yesr*. they think that ff.V) to $4 a bale will be fair, both to them selves and to the farmer«, if they are to carry < ut the provision* « f the Na ll Industry Recovery Art. Wi l'd suggest, therefore, to our fkrme- friends who may be panning to attend the meeting called f.r next Wednesdsy in Columbia that they talk with the gmner* in their respective aatghhorh <d # in order that they may be able to speak intelligently at th«- ■ert ng We are sure that they will had the ginner* a* realy to cooperate as they were two years ag . i witl keep a close watch on evtr- beddy who signed up am( if they fail to live up to their ritten word cn the agreement, i will .-ee that the k.k.k. gives them not is. we have plenty kluxes in our midst to see that the govverment gets justic. kindly noti fy the seckerterry of the treasure that i am waiting to hear from him with my monney. my wife thinks i sold you all my 4 akers too cheap, but she ain’t a good bizness man like me and i told her to lock after the kitchen and the wash place and i would take care of all trade* with uncle sam. some of the cotton i will plow up on reseat of my menney will make over 2 bales to the aker, but my word is my barn, and she will be plowed up a-cording to trade. > ^ yores trulie, mike Clark, rfd. farmer.

Used Freezing Method. The Indians made maple augur by repeatedly letting the sap freeze and scraping off the frozen water on top after enph freezing. Trees usually produce from five to forty gallons of sap each. Fine stands of gugar maple have appeared on cut-over areas In many localities. These young maple treee are mixed with beech, ypllow birch, hemlock and other less desirable species. In most of these young stands maple trees are tall and slender because they have grown close together and have not had room to spread their crowns. Increase In the diameter of a tree Is dependent upon the leaf surface exposed to sunlight and consequent size of the tree crown. The growth rates can be increased by thinning the young stand to give the maple trees a chance to grow larger crowns. If the purpose is lumber production the trees should be kept in close posi tion to shade out the. side limbs, but for maple sugar production a tree with a large crown is more desirable because it will produce more sap. Dense Stands Need Thinning. The "sugar bush” can be developed by opening up the dense young sap ling stands, leaving the well-formed young maple trees room to grow wide crowns. By the time the tree gets Into good production It should have a crown 30 feet In width. Maple airup and maple sugar are considered hy foresters as forest products and often prove to be the chief source of forest revenue.
