THURSDAY, MARCH 12TH. 1936. ‘‘The HumbuK Danger.” “ ‘We were close to a revolution when Roosevelt took office,’ Governor taxation ? Then, too, conditions a s a whole have undergone a great change and the farmer g are no longer content to submit to the privations incident to five-cent cotton when a large per centage of the populatii n enjoys the luxuries of life. It is this changed condition and the problems it has created that the News and Courier re Olin D. Johnston asserted,” an Asso ciated Press dispatch from Columbia reports. Where was the “revolution”? Where were the signs of it ? They were not in Charleston. When the banks closed many people were alarmed antii ex cited, “panic” affected all of us—but nobody grabbed a gun. In South Carolina the writer has witnessed before 1932 two periods when the price of e tton dropped be low five cents a pound Nobody grab bed a gun. In March, 1933, when Mr. Roosevelt tork office the cotton mills had been running about as usual s inoe October, 1932. Thee was no problem of unem ployment in them. Nowhere in S:,uth Carolina during the first six months of 1933 three months before and three after Mr. Roosevelt took office, was unusual dis turbance or crime reported in South Carolina. After the “holiday” the banks that deserved to reopen would have reopen ed anyway. The fact is that between 1922 and January 15, 1932, three or four times as many banks “went br~ke” in South Carolina as after that time. If losses and depression be excuse for “revolution” we South Carolinians -St* should have resorted to it ten years before Mr. Roosevelt arrived to stop it. The naked fact is that in 1933 we had had most of our losse s and not much remained to be lost in banks. The nearest approach to “revolu tion” or “insurrection” that we have seen in a long time in South Carolina was the textile strike. That wa 3 in 1934. Mr. Rooseveelt was president. Mr Roosevelt did not stop that vio lence. Our own people put a stop to it. When the South. Carolinians are go d and readly for ‘revolution” no man will stop it without planty of cannon and machine guns. Danger of “revolution” in 1933! There was m re danger of humbug in South Carolina. That danger we still have with us.—News and Courier. The News and Courier is such a bitter and caustic critic of the New Deal—to such an extent that it think s that “nothing go J can come out of Nazarath"—that it is probably a waste of time to remind our Charleston con- temp'rai y that in the closing days of the Hoover administration Mid-West farmers had resorted to shotguns to save their homes and farms fr m fore closure and dairy farmers were riot ing in an effort to keep their products from the market in the hope * f forc ing living prices therefor. The people generally had 1 entirely lost confidence in the hank 3 and were withdrawing funds at such a rate that if Presdient Ro sevelt had not ordered a “bank holiday” there probably would have been no banks that “deserved to reopen.” True, there was no bl ody revolu tion in South Carolina, but we have been told that merchants in Colum bia and other cities of the State were fearfud in th se dark days that whole sale looting was “just around the cor ner” where prosperity was supposed to be. There is no d'enying the fact that the pe pie ns a whole were in the depths of despair and almost without hope in the closing days of 1932 and anything could have happened but for the steadying influence . f Mr. Roose velt’s election and the revival of hope in his leadership.

It may agree wdth General Johnson Hagood that our money is “stage money," but even that i s better than no money at all. It is also true that the News and Courier ‘^writer has witnessed before 1932 two periods when the price of cotton dropped below five cents a pound,” but isn’t it equally as true that five cent s cdtfbn in 1932 was more ruinous to the farmers than a like price in the two periods referred to, due to the fact that the c:sts of nufactured articles that the form- had to huy were much higher, to nothing of the increased burden of Mr. and Mrs. John nounce the birth : f a baby bey on March infant son has been n; ryclear Scoville, Jr., f Alvertise in The Pi Feeds, Se WE FEATURE SP AND GARDEN S!

I decided to use certified harm Relief No. 1 cotton and try to produce certified seed from my cotton. 1 secured two bushels of certified seed for my project. I selected a day type soil and turned it early in February. 1 believe in winter plowing because the soil has a chance to pulverize before planting time, thus insuring a better stand; and the water holding capacity of the soil is increased. Early breaking of soil also aids in the control of insects and diseases. I planted my cotton on May 2nd. using 600 pounds of 6-S-6 fertilizer to the acre. No top dressing was used in producing this crop. I cultivated my cot- team. Then. too. I tried to produce the most cotton possible per acre at the low est cost per pound by following proper cultivation methods; and then the most important factor was keeping neat, ac curate records of the project. The fact that I did produce certified seed was another very important factor in my winning.
