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.”

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

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.
