Aug. 7.—In a state- me.'.t today General Manager Alfred Seal borough announces that the pro gram of th*! South Carolina Cotton Growers’ Co-operative Assc.’iation lor the new fiscal year commencing August first includes plans for ma- toi ialiy enlarging the membe:*ship of the Association and the number of balr s of cotton handled by it. A go at:r volume of business will help to reduce per-bale operating costs thus increasing returns to members, although the Association already is securing totter net returns for its members than they can get else where. Several new service feat ures for members will be introduced. To take charge of these various activities of the Cc'tton Co-operative General Manager Scarborough has secured the services of Stanley F. Morsi^,* consulting agricultural engin- ee:’, who until recently has had of fices in New Y<v*k and New Orleans. Mr. Morse was one of the first agri culturists to * engage in consulting woik in this country and is chairman cf the Division of Consulting Agri cultural Engineers of the American Society of Agricultural Engineers. His work has consisted mainly of in specting, planning, supervising and managing fai'ming enterprises in the South, Southwest and Latin-America. He is a strong believer in the devel- opnimt of the South and particular ly in the agricultural possibilities of South Carolina. He has recently ac quired the historic Edgehill Planta tion at State burg fc«r his home with the idea of giving up extended vis its to Latin-America and devoting more tim? to the agricultural inter ests of the South. For some years Mi’. Morse has bee n interested in and associated with the farmers’ co-operative move ment. Ho Organized farm bureaus in two Illinois counties and organiz ed the Arizona Farm Improvement Association (now the Farm Bureau) and served as its secretary fo" three years. For five years he has fcoen a member of the American Cranberry! Exchange, one of the most successv- ful farmers’ co-operatives in the country. He alsc organized the ag ricultural extension work in the Stato of Arizona and served as Di rector cf Extension there until he resigned to enter private consulting j work in 191^. Mr .Morse studied at the Massa- j chusotts Agricultural College and | graduated from the agricultural j school at Harvard University 22 | years ago. He owns and operates two business farms. He brings to thn work a bread knowledge of ccmmer’- cial farming under varied conditions ard practical experience which it is believed will be of value to the members of the South Carolina Cot ton Gnawers’ Co-operative Associa tion.

A 3,000 acre fire in the strawber ry belt cf southeastern Louisiana re cently caused considerable losses by destroy.ng large quantities cf pine “straw” in the w(»;ds. Huge quanti ties of pine straw are used eve: y year as a protective covering for the strawberry beds, says the Unitec States Fcrest Service. Loblilly pine st aw is us^d in preference to that of longlcaf pine because it rots quickly and practically disappears by the end of the summer. Woodlot owners in this section sell their yearly fall of needles at prices ranging from $3 to $7 per acre and averaging about $4. Their woods are kept remarkably clean,- all hardwood brush, fallen branches and other debris being gath ered i n piles before the straw is rak ed together to be carried to the fields. txt Keeping Records Pays A fa:vned in Maine sold 20 dozen more eggs in April than in Novem ber, but he did not realize, until he had kept an account book, that he rc.tt/id $4 mere profit in November; this taught him the value cf early patching in order to obtain eggh when prices were highest. Another farmer found, after keeping records and accounts on his farm business, that he was paying .$1.07 for feed w.th only $1 returns; this led him to study his feed costs and put them on a better bas ; s. The keeping of records on one farm led the owner to the real.zation that on his particular tarm a combination of dairying, pi.al- try raising, orchard cultivation, and potato growing would provide the most steady income. txt If an automobile war looms, there will be many of us making an effort to keep ofcir flivvers out of the trenches. . , i Ladies and ger-tlcmen of South Carolina who are abuot to leave us, meet Mr. Slcmp. Yon renvmber him, unquestionably. Who could forget T. Bascc'.n! He is coming back into his own and much more will be heard c-' him in these part;; before the summer : s over. Indeed, the arrows point to the ea’ly activity of Mr. Slemp in this vicinity; undoubtedly he and Colonel (is it “Colonel”? 4 Joe Tolbert will have conferer.ee; just who else will be called’ in for con sultation canno; be stated at this time. According to the Washington Bu reau of the Springfield Republican. Mr. Slemp has been added to Mr. Hoover’s campaign management “to handle tbn Republican campaign in the border and Southern states.” In the South Mr. Slemp will have im mediate charge. He was on Mr. Hoover’s pre-convention board of strategy” and did fine service. In deed, Mr. Slemp has the reputation! of being just about the best man in tlv country to assign to the job of! getting Sc cithern Republican delc-i gates into line. But now Slemp’s activities will be | in other fields. We surmise that when Mr. Slemp comes South now he will not seem to see the brother in black. Any conference held with those faithful supporters of the Grand Old Party will not be within the gla:e of the noonday sun. Fc<>r Mr. Slemp will be tactful; he is a strategist and his job now, accord ing to the Republican’s report, is “to capitalize for Mr. Hoover’s benefit the activities of the dry Democrats bolting Governor Smith in the South.” Yes, lady and gentlemen bolters, you positively have got to meet Bas- com; he will show you just how to do the trick, and in ’order that your sensibilities—those old sensibilities inherent in Democrats of this region —may not be bruised, he will hold hi-s dark cohorts in reserve and in the background. And—we whisper it for ytiur par ticular attention—Ithere is a prospect of money. For hear you this: “The question of how far the Re publican national committee should aid, financially and otherwise, the bolt from Smith organized at the dry conference in Asheville is now re ceiving ccnsideratkvi by the Repub- ‘ Lean leaders. Bishop James Cannon. J Jr., of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and one of the lead ers of the Anti-Saloon league, has frankly invited campaign contribu-' tions from the Republicans.
