Mr. Taylor was born on the farm near Honea Path, in 1890, the second child in a family of eleven children. Nine years later his parents moved to Fork Shoals, in Greenville county, where he went to work in the mill at the age of nine years. At the age of nineteen and one-half years he enrolled in school at Honea Path, entering the fourth and fifth grades, and completed high school when 24. Ambitious to secure an education he went to the University of South Carolina in 1914, where he earned his expenses by working as a night watchman. His college course was interrupted by America’s entry into the World War, and he en listed and served as a private, re turning to complete his course when the Armistice was signed. By working at night during the school term and weaving in the mill during the vacation months, Mr. Taylor was able to pay his own expenses through school and was graduated in 1919, at the age of 29 years. Mr. Taylor’s entry into the con gressional race is by no means a surprise, as he has long been a student of national affairs.

X Farm Price Situation DEMANDS WISE PLANNING FOR FOOD AND SHELTER NEEDS OF FAMILY PAGE NUMBER EIGHT to grew ‘what the market demands’ as expressed in prices seems to lead like a jack-o-lantern further into the morass of low prices. ' With hog prices 41 per cent of pre-war cotton 42 per cent, cottonseed 44 per cent, corn 47 per cent, poultry products 60 per cent, diary products 69 per cent, fruits and vegetables 80 per cent, and all groups togeth er 56 per cent, it is clear that the debt-paying power of farm com modities is relatively poor. in contrast, the retail prices of things farmers buy are declinging moro gradually, being as a whole now at 112 per cent of pre-war. “The disparity in the buying and selling price levels shown puts the brake down hard on the normal paying of debts and the buying of goods by farmers. This may be offset to some extent by lowering 'uch of the costs of production as ean be lowered and in some cases by adopting methods that enable the individual to increase his out- nut. The situation, however, has reached the stage of an emergency in which farm values are seriously undermined and farm people are having to give first attention to a self-sustaining type of farming.” Instead of being a time for launching new farm enterprises for profit, it seems to Mr. Watkins more appropriate now to look out for the food and shelter needs of the family while applying the best known methods to the production and marketing of those cash crops with which the individual already has experience. “It is well enough to remember,” Mr. Watkins concludes, “that while hogs or yearlings sell for very lit tle cash they will if cured or can ned satisfy just as much hunger as ever. Now is the time to get a list, such as is available through the home demonstration agent, of the food requirements of a fam ily, and plan to can, cure, dry and preserve enough to insure a suffi cient and a balanced supply. This will become more acutely necessary with the continuance of the price situation which holds two dangers: first, that next winter will find too^ many farm people with insufficient food; second, that what has been learned in recent years as to the necessity of a properly balanced diet will be forgotten, with bad ef fects on the vitality and health of the farm population.” -X- CLEMSON COLLEGE, June 6.— “The continued irregular drift of farm prices to lower levels is con fusing farmers as to what to do or what to grow,” says D. W. Watkins, assistant director of the Extension • r Service. who adds that “attempting Records Show Climatic Changes Only Temporary Unusually hot, dry weather for a few years in any one section does not mean that cold days and rain fall are fading into the limbo of lost things. High and low records have been made and broken from the days of the first weather ob servers, only to be ironed out with thefpttlsage of time and the ac cumulation of statistics over a wide area. : Swings from dry to wet weather,, and back again to dry, stand out clearly in the charts showing the rainfall over the entire North Am erican continent from 1881 to 1931 recently completed by Dr. O. L. Fassig of the Weather v Bureau, United States Department of Agri culture. These charts show, for ex ample, that Oregon had decidedly more than normal rainfall during the first 25 years of this period, fol lowed by a steady decrease during the last 25 years. Utah and Ala bama, however, had just the re verse, the first 25-year period be ing dry and the second wet. Con ditions in Arkansas were still dif ferent. There two 5-year periods; (1881 to 1885 and 1925 to 1930) of heavy rainfall were separated by 40 years when the rainfall was much below normal. Throughout the section of the country includ ing Virginia, Maryland, and Penn sylvania there has been a remark ably dry period during the past 20 years, preceded by a long period of rainy weather. Unfortunately, there seems to be no rhyme or reason in the swings; from wet to dry weather and from hot to cold, so that meterologists can trace no important correlations between them. Fifty years in meteorology, however, is a very brief period. The charts made at the end of the next half century. Dr. Fassig says, may bring out def inite trends which the weatherman can use as a basis for long-time forecasts. -X A man is really never famous un- t’’ he is interviewed on his birth day. 1X1 The octopus or devil fish is a food delicacy in oriental countries.
