The forests under the protection of the Gov ernment flank the higher moun tain masses, help to retard the melting of snow, delay the run-off, and feed the water gradually to the springs and streams. Regulat ed stream flow is important in ir rigation, preventing floods and conserving water supply over dry seasons. Cultivated crops in the Intermountain region are worth about $150,000,000 annually. Pro tection of the national forest wat ersheds which supply water for ir rigating these crops is one of the major services of the Forest Serv ice in this region. “Is it not time for cotton grow ers to stop and think? «Every in formed person must realize that their condition is serious. Over production, increase of foreign growth, and reduced consumption face us, as well as the high cost of production of American cotton. * ♦ * ♦ * “In 1928-29, the world used 15,226,000 bales of American cot ton; the same period the world used 10,598,000 bales of foreign cot ton, or 4,628,000 bales more Ameri can cotton than foreign cotton. While the figures on world . con sumption for this season are in complete, the figures from the fol lowing countries: America, Eng land, France, Spain, India, Italy and Japan estimate world con sumption from August 1 to October 1, 1930, as follows: “One million^ nine'hundred and eighty-six thousand bales of Am erican cotton consumed this year against 2,785,000 bales last year, or a reduction in three months of 799,000 bales,, which is equivalent to 29 per cent reduction in Ameri can cotton consumed. “Last year, the world used 1,185,000 bales of foreign cotton during this period against 1,366,000 rales, a reduction in three months of 191,000 bales, or 14 per cent. “From reliable sources, it is esti mated that, if figures from all countries were available, they would show world consumption of foreign cotton would now be 8 per cent less tham American cotton for the first quarter of this season. “These are - facts which should have most careful study of farm ers. What is the cause of this steady drift from American cotton to foreign growths? Is it quality or is it price? It is a fact that dreign cotton of the same relative grades and staple over most of the above period has sold cheaper than American cotton out of which he can make his goods. Whether or not the foreign producer of cotton s making money, we do not know jut we do know he is improving the quality of his cotton; increas ing his production and taking our markets. « * « * * .pkjg faut f rom Ameri can cotton cannot be stopped by artificial means and the farmer will recognize this after viewing the facts. If we are to continue producing on our present scale it must be grown at a price that will compete with the foreign producer and no agency, governmental or otherwise, can offset this fact. “With these facte before him, the farmer should put the acreage not planted in cotton into grain, food crops and hay for hogs and cattle which would give a balanced agriculture and lead to relief which cannot be otherwise obtain ed. “Production and consumption must be balanced. Another large crop added to the tremendous bal ance now carried over would spell disaster and we would see a very low price of cotton. A balanced agriculture with reduced cost of production and improvement in quality would change a disastrous condition into successful farm ing. * ♦ * “With these thoughts, I, myself, am reducing my cotton acreage 50 per cent this year and increasing my acreage in other crops, which in turn will increase the produc tive power of my land. “I plead with my fellow cotton producers to give most careflul consideration to this situation. RICHARD I. MANNING.” XXI One Life A Day Is Auto’s Toll CARS KILL 384 IN 365 DAYS IN STATE IN 1930 X- Bone meal, poultry manure, cot tonseed meal, and sewage sludge are very good commercial fertiliz ers for the lawn. They are safe to apply and give fairly quick results. Apply fiom 10 to 15 pounds to 1,- 000 square feot in late winter 6r early spring. An old rule followed by many beekeepers who winter their bees in cellars is to take them out when the soft maples are in bloom. This is a good rule in localities where these trees grow, say agriculturists of the U. S. Department of Agri culture. Watch the weather re ports closely and choose a time when a “high-pressure” area is just passing and a “low pressure” area is approaching. At such a time the weather will be cool so the bees will not fly, and with a “low-pressure” area approaching it will soon be warmer so the bees can make a flight. Bees in good condition rarely fly unless the out side temperature is as high as 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The State says the automobile killed 384 persons in South Caro lina last year, an average of more than one person each day of 1930, death statistics announced yester day morning by the state board of health, reveal. The automobile death toll was nearly seven times as great as that of railroad acci dents and almost 100 more than the total from general accidents. The same statistics show that the automobile was accountable for more deaths than typhoid fever, whooping cough, malaria, dip- theria, diabetes and a host of oth er common ailments. Its number of victims was ex ceeded only by those of cancer and malignant tumors, diseases of the circulation, influenza,' . intestinal diseases, parturition, pellagra, pneumonia, premature births, tub erculosis and infant mortality. The total was an increase of 29 over the 1929 total of 355, although fewer people were killed in the last three months of 1930 than in the corresponding period of 1929. . One of the largest per centage increase was in death from alcoh olism which claimed 66 people in South Carolina in the year in com- Darison with, 41 in the previous year. In addition there were two deaths from wood alcohol poison ing. «.• The number of homicides drop ped from 276 in 1929 to 243 last year but the number of suicides increased from 95 to 118, 44 of the suicides coming in October,-Novem ber and December, Drowning claimed an even 100 lives in the year, 13 less than in 1929. South Carolina did not have a fatal airplane accident in the year nor were any deaths recorded as seing caused by rabies, cyclone and tornado accidents, typhus * fever and undulant fever.

The ratio of deaths to injuries—one to two and one-half—is extremely high. Each day fire destroys thirty-three lives. The records show further that there is a daily average of five school fires, five in churches, fif teen in hotels, one in a hospital, four in warehouses, six in depart- ihent stores, two in theatres, eight in public garages, three in print ing plants, and ninety-six on farms.
