VALUE OF ClF Farmers Protected from Sr Crop R B. B. -Hare, South Carolina Field i Agent of the Bureau of Crop Esti- ( inates, United States Department of I Agriculture has the folowing to say i in reference to importance of govern- i nent crop reports: "The one great industry of South ( Carolina is agriculture, its annual out- I put being larger than that of all other I industries combined. M'uch has been I accomplished during the last decade I In diversinfcation, Increased production f and farm organization. In fact, the I industry is being organized as never 1 before and is passing to what may be I termned a business basis, as distin- < guished from the tiraditional routine, < hit or miss method of the past. In the i transition its probliems must be solved I in the main In exactly the same way I as are the problems of other Industries, by the study of records of past per formances in connection with present prospects and future possibilities. Yet it is singular how little he great ma jority of us know of the agricultural resources of the State from a business or economic standpoint. It Is suriris Ing to learn how little we know about the production, or supply and demand 1 of any particular crop. The object therefore, of this article is to call at tention to tile importance and eco nomuic value of reliable agricultural statistics and possibly stimulate an in qui-ing interest In government crop rep'orts. t It might be stated at the outset that t no large industry, business or enter prise can be long and successfully t conducted without records of past performances and a knowledge of ex Isting conditions upon which to base present activities for future develop ment. For example, no man with ex perilence and busi ness ability would enwage ill any business enterprise re <Iuiring all of his capital without. first studying the ipast records of tile in Austry and acquainting himself of its relat lion to other industries and the deland of tile publie gene'rally.

As a matter of fact agricul ural statistics, consisting of data per alning to acreage, condition, prospec Ive yields and total production at itated intervals, are of vital import tnce not only to tihe farmer as a class, it, men in other lines of business, as nanufacturers, dealers, jobbers, bank rs and investors, having a present )r prospective interest in a county or itate, must, for the proper conduct of heir business, have knowledge of the acts that affect the prosperity of the ,ection or sections in which they are nterested. It is a deplorable fact that some armers object to government reports, laying that if the reports were not is mued speculators and businePs men of Inancial centers would not know of he stipply of any crop and a high >rice to the producer could always )e maintained. This is only one of ius business delusions, borin largely if ignorance and indifference to husi iess methods, for he should know that he speculator, manufacturer or busi iess man Is following a particular inc of business and it is a rare thing o find him deceived at any time as to he actual or prospective s-t pply of any rop. The only other man who oh.ects r government reports is the Interest d speculator, Who oppos s them lbe -ause lhte elieves that hi orop reiorts tre made entirely for the benellt of the aritner and he realizes 'hat troy con atn the most reliable 0 i)r'rma1'nn as o ('enlitbin and proittioi of th pe ilative crops and. :ha' the li hI of riith In regard to same prevents him rom spreading false reports in order o bull or boar the market and there >y make hiis irofits from the unusums >etting and ignorant.

Of Course, they study and rely to a large extent upon government reports but are not absolutely devenident upon them. On t the other hand, the farmer has never c been suillelently well organized to col- I lect such informatipn and without tie government reports would know little ' or nothing of the actual or probable supply of any crop and could, there- t fore, have no Idea. as to the prices that I would prevalI as determined by the C law of supply and demand and would s be absolutely at the mercy of Inter ested speculators who could bear or bull the market to suit themselves. $ It would appear, therefore, to be to the best interest of the farmer, as well as other classes of business men, to carefully study government crop reports and assist whenever an oppor tunity affords in making them as ac curate and dependable as possible. v Ask YJDealer V Grand Prize FHrearms6OAmmuniton S Write for Catalogue a THEg REMINGTON ARMV.MCCO.I c The excellence us the Shirt St Fashions and The result is o ings are of th< trade exclusiv4 eVf, The handsom of those show Everyth Linen WEL IS HIELD Il0\ Wasihington, iMay 15.-An bpinion D the effect that the brewing of beer ontaining 2 3-4 per cent alcohol is lleigal has been given by Attorney leneral Palmer to Internal Revenue onniissioner Roper, but oificlals ex lained it 'would not operate to stop he manufacture of this beer pending decision by the federal district court f New York in a case now under con ideration.
