C KEEPING COTTON ACREAGE IN HAND lteasons Why South Carolina Farm ers Should Hold Down Crop. Clemson College, March 26.-South Carolina farmers are being strongly advised by V. W. Long, State agent of demonstration and superintend cut of the extension division of Clemson College, not to plant an acre more in cotton than they planted last year. This advice is based by Mr. Long on reports received at Washing ton which show that, at the present rate, this year's crop will be an enor mous one and the ofice of demonstra tion work at Clemson college is has tening to urge the farmers of this state not to follow the lead of other sections in what appears almost cer tain to be a losing policy. Reports which have been pouring into Washington from many parts of the South show that Southern farm ers, acting on the strength, it is be lieved of the good prices received on the last crop, and not content with holding the crop at this figure and receiving equally good or only bi liht ly lower prices, intend to tincrease their acreage all along the lI n. 'T'hough it is too ('aly for definite es timates, it appears probable the crop raised will be too large for the tmar ket to bear, provided the present. po icy of the farom ers continu es. "'The time when everybody else is raisinag a lot of cotton is just the time for its not to raise a lot of it," said Mr. ILong in discussing the situation. TiIs principle holds true in any bus Iness. We are not urging the farmer to cut his cotton acreage, for we wish to proceedl conservatively. Blut what we are urging upon hin and urging as planting any more cotton that h planted last year. Let him put the ,sme amount of land in cotton again if he wishes -to, and, with the con stantly improving conditilous of soil fertility in the state, it is likely that we shall make more 1 Otton than last fear even thwn. probably :a millioni :+ .l a halt' hales, which is iiite ai much cotton a.< South Carolina is called up on to produce. or has any right to produce." Iiesi des the consideration of mme diate price, Mr. Long poit i ed out that it was the part. of wisdom for South ('arolina plant"rs, especially those in the lower part. of the state, to hegin a plicy of ret renchmient In co)ttoit growing and to have their di versiication 0policy well established in ort r to present a good defense to :o thae .0l weevil when it arrives. 'lo Be -xpected. It veis to be expected that there woul he opposit.ilon to tie Duke cotton warehouse plan. It is a grai lplan. a. fact whic in it:wlf is stllieient to ensure the opositon of little minds. The plan, if carried out, will do much to promote the Ii nanciatl independence of the cotton farmers of the South and save them each year from having to ttar.'ri. al in et I~ Iair entlire crtoI) 5 ).t as; It Is grown. TbhIs, of course, enisur ues op 1)o)sition from those who (do not want the cotton farmers of the South flnan cially Independent and also fronm those who profit biy the necessIty that coin pels cotton farmers to glut the mar ket each fall wIth almost their enCre prioductlin of the fleecy staptle. ('an there any good thing come out ':f Nazareth?" asked Nathanlel. That Is Ite attItude of maniiy mnen as to ay piropiosition that coimtes ftromi or is en dorsed by rich men. And finally, an attemttpt is beIng made to make cotton warehotuses a pioliticail issue, a means of getting oflice, and fromt thIs source of coutrse conies critIclsm of a non Itolitical cotton warehouso system. Mr. D~uke, however, has receIved en dorsenment of hIs plan and piroises of supplort for It suifliclento assure success. if he wIll ditsregard the carintg critiles, t he chmron Ic croakers and the piolitichans huting for an of f1c-gettIng Issue and go ahead with his plans, the practical opieratlon of the proposed great 'warehouse system wIll be thte best vindlicat ion of his sircerity of putrpose and soundness of judgment. After the system Ihas been In operation three years, it wIll have won the ipralse of all save thtose whto are blind sliply because they wIll not see. A newspaper is a Slatnese twIn of Sthecommnity in whIch it is located and prospers or suffers as thtat comn muitty dloes. There are busInesses in GreenvIlle whIch could enjoy ox elptional prosperIty, whtile around them business stagnation was the rule, but not so wIth a newspaper. It is thIs fact which keeps every worth while newspaper alert for those thIngs which will benefit the business of its home town and section and makes It vehemently champion them when it has found them. TFhe Piedmont is convinced that the D~uke warehouse plan will prove a blessing to the cotton planters and manufacturers and if those two class en In the Piedmont section prosper, all other clauses will prosper with thorn. --Oraennlen Dal1= Piedmont. M'LAURIN GIVES HIS PLATFORM (Continued from Page Three.) Lion to a restricted primary, and 1 be lieve the people will do as they (id with Tillman--send mli to the United States senate. 1 believe ho will make good in spite of all handicaps and just as Tillman has done win the conil dence and respect of the entire coun try. Believing this I shall vote for Gov. Ilease. To Carry Movement. I am a candidate for governor be cause I feel that I can serve my state by carrying forward this movement with which I began my career in 1890. The political part of it never appealed to me at any time with half the force that the industrial possibilities did. My Impatience with this phase of the movement often led me into antago nism with its political leaders. Aly nearnest endeavor will be if I aim elected to so shape political af fairs In South Carolina as to provide safety to future generations from a split. among our white people which is inevitable when class is eternally arrayed against class. The next torward movement in this state should be in the line of indus trial development. The masses have remained unsatisfied hecause mte political agitation has not and never canl accomxplish anything in the way of financial reliet'. The farmer's product is still priced by the buyer, and what he consumes by the seller. 'Tiis will continue un til a proper system for marketing the cotton crop Is provided by law. White labor is leaving the farms for the imill and workshop. This makes more coinpetition between la borers in the towns; swells the ranks of non-producers. and raises ever higher the cost of living. The only remedy is to increase the prolits on the farm by cutting out the middle men and speeul ators who absorb pro lits but produce nothing to either feed or ioiite ni:utikinid. If I can turn some of the energy now devoted to politics into the (e velopmcunt. an(t conservation of the natural resou rees of our11 state, I can find no bet ter field for the use of brain and body.
