Thursday, August #13, 1931 lYic^urxiui^iv McLUJKMiCK, bUUTH CAROLINA THE GREATEST VALUE EVER BUILT INTO A Ford Far The Beautiful Ford Tudor Sedan i f - % . i i \ 7 *. • (F. O. B. Detroit, plus freight and delivery,' Bumpers and spare tire extra at low cost.') W HEN you buy a Ford car today, you buy what is unquestionably the greatest value in the history of the Ford Motor Company. Never before has so much beauty, comfort, safety and performance been offered at such a low price. The low price of the Ford is something to think about because it. means an immediate saving of many dollars — always an important consideration. But far more significant than price alone is what you get for that price* When high quality is combined with low price, you may justly take pride in having found a most satisfactory purchase. See the Ford — ride in it — learn something about the value that is built into every part. The more you know about it, the more certain you will be that it is the car for you* It is literally tnie that when you “get the facts yon will get a Ford* w THE FAMILY DOCTOR JOHN JOSEPH GAINES, M.& “POISONED HEARTS” My readers, I feel sure, will pardon this bit of personal history, since it might concern many thousands of people who are past middle age— at a time when we watch oui common enemy from every possible angle of attack; life grows precious as years advance. Possibly nine years ago, I began to get sudden, vague, alarming symptoms—a feeling that I was about to drop and “pass out”; it was far from pleasing, I assure you. I had never paused to take an in ventory of myself. These “spells” came suddenly, anywhere, and without warning—the immediate symptom, a rapidly weakening heart. Being a smoker, I at once thought of tobacco. From one of these attacks I staggered into the office of a neigh bor physician. After some examination he said, “you’ve got a poisoned heart, doctor—I don’t think it is tobacco; on the other hand, I don’t see at this moment just what it is; you need a heart tonic, and need It right away, ’till further investigation.” Well ... “investigation” revealed poisoning by a substance known as “indican.” Its cause, PUTREFACTION OF THE CONTENT OF THE COLON. Not decomposition, mind you; PUTREFACTION, going on inside of my digestive canal. It had been going on a long time, creeping on, as my bodily indolence grew more chronic. I set about to clean house, and at once. This indican, in large amounts within the body, will, in time, weaken the entire cardiovascular system, until death may result; then, the newspapers say “victim of a heart attack.” So many these days; Possibly hundreds of sudden deaths caused by indican poisoning—simply because we neglect to look up evidence in that direction! To test for this poison is easy. Two test tubes required. In one^ put equal parts of the patient’s urine, chloroform, and pure hy drochloric acid; add a few drops of hydrogen peroxide; shake the mixture, and pour from one tube to the other a half-dozen times; if indican is present, a heavy blue color will appear in the mixture, vary- ihg with the quantity of the poison. Then, clean out and keep cleaned out! Not once, but for a year! Showing Progress On Farms In The State (By Henry S. Johnson, Sec. S. C. Bankers’ Association.) PAUL A. WALLACE GOES FROM RENTER TO PROPRIETOR. From renter to proprietor of some 2500 acres 6f land, about 1800 of which he has under plow, is the way Paul A. Wallace, now only about 30 years old, has leaped for ward as a farmer in Marlboro County, near the line of Chester field. ' “If the weevils don’t get me and the weather plays fair, I’ll make cotton this year at a cost of :iot more than 6 cents a pound,” he declared recently. Wide-scaled diversification and use of power characterizes his operations. He displaced eight families with a battery of tractors on the places he operates and he uses a motor car in getting over his fields to look after each group of workers several times a day. He keeps close accounting of costs and pays his wage hands at the end of every week. He can tell you the per acre and per bushel producing cost of the large volume of wheat he ?narket- ed this year and of how the cost was distributed. “The cost was $15 to $18 an acre and I got around 18 bushels to the acre,” says he. He marketed it as threshed, hauling,it by motor truck directly from the fields to a mill 30 miles away. Thus he sold while the farm board was holding the price taut and got 85 cents to $1.00 a bushel for it. “I made money on wheat, but the- main profit will come from Ihe soy and Velvet beans with which I am following up wheat and other small grain,” says he. tyx. Wallace now has a large herd of Duroc hogs and expects to start a herd of Hereford* cattle this fall. “What I am at is the producing of things on large scale to bring in money regularly through the year as money is expended,” says he. That’s the way manufacturers and storekeepers operate. In this sec tion, where several staple products can be produced successfully, farm ing can be conducted in the same way.” He still operates the place with which he as a renter first became a sizable farmer. He has pur chased an additional 800-acre place and has under lease a third place of 1100 acres, some of which he sublets. WATERMELONS YIELD PROFITS TO MANY GROWERS THIS YEAR Most South Carolina growers found watermelons more profitable this year than this fruit was to them in 1930.. Prices paid growers imthis State during the period of heavy marketing this year aver aged 25 to 40 per cent above last year’s returns. It is estimated that growers in the big melon pro ducing district that embodies Jas per, Hampton, Colleton, Allendale, Bamberg and Barnwell counties re ceived a total of more than a half million dollars for melons in July. Yields of some fields were cut short by drouth and there was a price break the latter part of July. But 80 per cent or more of the dis trict’s melon crop, on the whole al most as good as last year’s, was sold while prices were good. Here’s the experience of a grow er on moderate scale: From 33 acres near Barnwell D. T. Black sold ten carloads of melons and helped fill two additional cars -dur ing July and at the end of the month there were about two car loads of melons still in his fields. For those he had sold he received a total of $1350. Production and marketing costs amounted to $424. Allowing for the melons he still had for sale, he made around $1000 off the crop, which was cut short by drougth and all of which was not sold while prices were high. Good Times Knock ing At The Door There has been so much bunk written and spoken about the pres ent situation in the business world that it is refreshing to find one or two sane observers with their feet firmly on the ground of facts and common sense. Such an observer ! s William G. Shepherd, business considered survey of the economic world. His principal finding is that good times are knocking at the door, and that the main im petus for another era of prosper- itj- will come from the United States, says the Greer Citizen. “We always get some new and good ideas out of hard times,” says Mr. Shepherd. “Such ideas were our postal savings banks, our improved banking regulations, our Federal Reserve System, the idea that workers are consumers and, as such, must lot be crippled by wage rductions. We are now coming to the end of blind production, in w he race of individual nations to cor ner the world’s business for them selves. Maverick nations are out, and there will be something new in the world—law, order, and cer tainty instead of world-wide busi ness anarchy.” How can we explain one-six teenth of the world’s population doing one-half of the world’s business? It’s as easy as two times two. Here’s a fact to put down in red letters: Americans are the machinery masters of the world. They are spending $23.00 per year for each man, woman, and child, in the country on machinery. That’s the highest rate for machinery in the world. The British, who export half of all they make, spend by this same yard-stick only $10.00 a year, the Germans $9.00, British India 17 cents, China five cents. “Americans talked about being big, two years ago,” comments Mr. Shepherd. “We’re still big. There’s no reason for not talking about our bigness now. For in our bigness lies power that we were forgetting. Because this is our own country and we are so close to it, we did not realize, until recently, how •com pletely the rest of the world has leaned on us, looking to us for guidance. Financially and eco nomically, there are just two diVT* isions in the world. Part One is a single unit that can act as a unit. Part Two consists of 101 other na tions or geographical commercial units which play a part in world commerce. It cannot act as a unit because it is divided. All of the world looks to the United States make the first step back to prosperity.” 1X1 RAILROADS FIGHTING BACK REFRESH AT OUR FOUNTAIN There is nothing that will restore your pep these hot days like k cool refreshing drink at our foun tain.

SELLS MORE LAND IN JULY THAN ANY MONTH THIS YEAR One of the land banks that op erate in the Carolinas disposed o' \ a competitor to be reckoned with more farm land during the month ! until the motor truck had grabbed The railroads, it appears, are girding their loins and bucMing on their armor for a joust with the motor trucks. The Southern and the Seaboard have decided to low er rates on baled cotton to ?neet the prices charged by the ?notor trucks. It is encouraging to see the rail roads showing some of their old- time fighting spirit. When tlv motor truck entered the field as a competitor in the transportation of commodities the railroads had not sensed the change that was taking place or felt secure in the highly efficient service they were rendering in the world of trans portation. The motor truck worked on the principal of a cancer of the body. T here was no pain until the disease was fully developed. It was slow but deadly. The motor truck had the advantage of a free transpor tation line, maintained at the ex pense of the public, and its cost of operation was low. Labor unions did not have anything to do with fixing the salaries of employees, and the motor truck also had the advantage of being able to deliver, commodities from the door of the shipper to the door of the receiver. Lawmakers themselves did not realize that the motor truck was Some August Garden Hints WHEN FOOD SOURS BOUT two hours after eating, many t. people suffer from sour stomachs. They call it indigestion.

The land bank’s experience tends to confirm the belief of ag ricultural economists that farm land values have reached rock- bottom and that, in general, only a rise may be expected now.

CLEMSON COLLEGE, Aug. 3.— Consecutive plantings every 15 to 21 days *ull keep a supply of orisp vegetabfeF for the home table and some for local markets, suggests A. E. Schilletter, extension horticul turist, in urging gardeners not to relax in their determination to have year-round gardens. To this end' Mr. Schilletter sug gests that plantings be made now of beans, beets, carrots, corn, let tuce, turnips, and that plants of celery, cabbage, collards, and to matoes be transplanted at once. He urges also that this is last call for planting fall Irish potatoes. Fall tomatoes, Mr. Schilletter re minds us, bring a good price on the local markets and in order to have a full supply of this vegetable, he urges the setting of strong stocky plants which should go deep into the ground and be well watered.. Any fruits which fail to ripen be fore frost can easily be saved and allowed to ripen in a cool dark place, he says. Like animals, plants must be fed continuously, and Mr. Schilletter advises that if good results in the garden are to be obtained the fall crops should be fertilised as * abundantly as the spring crops. He suggests well decomposed stable manure and a side dressing of some quickly available form of nitrogen.
