It is as old as humanity itself. Civilized peoples had gone. a long way toward ridding their thinking of this false idea when Hitler revived it with his imaginary “Nordic” race, which has the sole right to factory employe. Finally, according to the C. P. C., cotton gives wages to far more people than does any substitute, and a cotton bag is useful to the housewife after she has emptied it of the sugar, flour, salt, meal or whatever it contained.—Columbia State, Nov. 9. BIG PENSION PLAN DEAD As generally expected the two big pension schemes for the mid dle-age population of the country put forward in California and Ohio were defeated Tuesday. ’ Though defeated the schemes are not dead. They will be put forward again in new form. The effort to bankrupt the country may yet be broken down. But if it is not one scheme it is another and sometimes two or three of them, and we have to keep busy beating ’em down.— Greenwood Index-Journal, Nov. 9 xx rule others, especially the Jewish Chevrolet- October Sales race. In recent news dispatches from Germany it is stated that Jewish physicians, scientists and teachers have been called back into service in Germany. As Secretary of Ag riculture Wallace epitomized the matter, “the racial situation in Europe is so confused that even the Nazi theorists have been ap palled, and have found it neces sary to retreat from the concept of a Nordic body to that of a Nordic soul.” Mr. Wallace, whose reputation apart from his official position is that of one of the foremost scien tific students of heredity, stated that “there is really no such thing as a pure race, in the sense in which the term is commonly used by fanatics, but the idea of a racially pure stock has great emotional appeal, and is also used for political and economic purposes to fool many people.” And it is not only in Europe that fallacious claims concerning mentally superior racial stocks are madd, he pointed out. They arise wherever people who have different manners, habits and customs live in the same commu nity. Differences in customs have no relation whatever to racial dif ferences, nor have differences in religious beliefs and observances. So far, the common-sense of the American people has resisted the efforts of foreign propagandists to stir up racial prejudices. We are not likely to have any more “witch-hunts” such as we had during the World War No. 1, when everybody with a German-sound ing name was under suspicion. But there is a steady pressure '^f propaganda being exerted upon the people of this country, in the effort to divide us into antagonis tic racial groups. Nothing could be more danger ously un-American than that. xx BUILD WITH COTTON STALK, BUR Down in Texas, at Gladewater, a manufacturing chemist, C. G. Rook, after two years’ research, is producing, but in small quantities as yet, “cheap, substantial” build ing materials from the stalk and burs of the cotton plant. He is erecting a model building in which these materials are used for the inner walls, floors, ceilings, doors and window frames. Ground cotton burs blended with gypsum will insulate the walls. Mr. Rook finds that his materials fabricated from the cotton cellulose take dyes readily. Fire resistance is another advantage; none of his building materials from cotton “will support a flame; several of the harder materials will not char when subjected to intense heat.” His flooding stands tests much severer than asphalt tile will stand. Mr. Rook has also made from cotton stalks a bast fiber which “tests stronger than jute and is considered a possibility for bagging.”—Columbia State, Nov. 10. Detroit, Mich., Nov. 8.—With Chevrolet’s production pace rising to meet an increasing demand for 1940 models, dealers delivered at retail 49,639 units during the month of October, a gain of 39.9 per cent over October, 1938, it was announced here today by W. E. Holler, general sales manager. Continuance of the upward trend visible throughout most of the 1939 model year was predicted by company officials as Chevro let plants swing into full produc tion. With a substantial block of un filled orders still on record, offi cials indicated confidence in the prospects for a continuing gain over the late months of 1938. during which period 1939 models were being introduced. Present indications are ’ that the plants will maintain a steady production pace. This will enable dealers to fill back orders, which Central Office officials have asserted loom larger in the sales picture this year than in many years pre viously. * Indicative of the manner in which sales and production have mounted hand in hand are the figures for the final 10-day period ending October 31. During that period, 26,741 units were retailed, the company report shows, as against 15,540 delivered in the preceding 10-day period, a gain of 72 per cent. Truck sales likewise show a notable increase, the October, 1939, figure being 15,325 units, a gain of 11,189 over the 4,136 com mercial cars retailed in the same month of 1938. Used car sales again topped the 100,000 mark, with a total of 102,686 reported. This is a gain of 10,903 over Oc tober, 1938. xx Market is doing a fine business for local producers. Prices re ceived for beans and other leafy vegetables have been most satis factory.—C. W. Carraway, Charles ton. Visits to Lester Daniel, R. A. Daniel, D. K. McGill, and A. Boyles show that their turkeys are maturing nicely. They will have 3000 turkeys ready for Thanks giving markets.—S. C. Stribling, Cherokee. After several days were spent in Virginia by a group of farmers inspecting beef cattle, three of these farmers purchased two Shorthorn bulls and one heifer.— F. M. Rast, Clarendon. At least one-third of all fields in our corn demonstrations were planted in yellow corn, the yield of which is showing up right a- long with that of white corn.—S. W. Epps, Dillon. Among excellent 4-H corn club demonstrations are those of S. B. Lawrimore, Jr., who produced 83 bushels on his acre, and Allen Tyler, with a yield of 31 bushels.— M. M. McCord, Georgetown. t Xt " Uncle Natchel” Returns Chilean Nitrate Radio Program Begins Its Fourth Year Flashes From Afield Caught From Recent Reports Of County Farm Agents. CLEVER PROMOTION This is the story of a bale of cotton made into five-pound sugar bags. It comes to The State | funds.—W. H. Craven, Bamberg. The beef cattle that the 4-H boys are feeding out for the spring show are doing very well indeed and it looks now as if these boys will make a profit out of this project.—Z. D. Robertson, Abbeville. More winter cover crops will be planted in Aiken county this fall than ever before. Oats and rye will constitute a big majority of the winter cover, with some vetch and Austrian peas.—F. W. Corley, Aiken. Our farmers are purchasing cat tle through the Fairfax Auction Market for feeding this v/inter. J. M. Thomas and Newman Harter already have on feed over 50 steers each.—W. H. Pressly, Allendale. The county’s cotton production will be 55,000 bales, an average of 355 pounds per acre, highest in the county’s history. Most of this increase is due to soil conserva tion practices.—E. P. Josey, An derson. A very encouraging fact about our crop demonstrations is the interest shown and financial sup port given by the business people in providing necessary contest • Uncle Natchel and Sonny, the two characters who have won friends throughout the South, as the featured characters in the Chilean Nitrate of Soda advertis ing, return to radio beginning Saturday, , November 25th, and Sunday, November 26th. The new series of programs marks the fourth consecutive year that Uncle Natchel and Sonny have entertained over the air Dramatic stories, based upon high lights of Southern history, are presented by a cast of actors headed by Frank Wilson, former star of Green Pastures, and Porgy, who has played the role of Uncle Natchel for the past four years. The general style of program, which proved so successful last season is offered this year. Uncle Natchel, Sonny 'and the young folks go for a Sunday ramble in the woods. Old time songs are followed by an Uncle Natchel story, dramatizing an historical incident of the old South. Through the half-hour program. Uncle Natchel expounds his homely and home-spun “natchel” philosophy. The stations and hours on which the new Chilean Nitrate program can be heard are as fol lows: WIS, Columbia, S. C., 4:30-5:00 P.

BLOOD TESTED BABY CHICKS For quick growing broilers, see us before you buy. Hatches every Monday. SIMKINS SEED CO., AUGUSTA, Ga. from the Cotton Promotion coun cil and, in this newspaper’s opinion, it is a first rate example of promotion effort. First comes the production of the cotton, and that gives 218 hours of work to a sharecropper. Next, this bale is made into 2,270 yards of cloth, and that process gives 126 hours of work to a textile mill operative. The cloth is sewed into 13,600 five-pound sugar bags, and that gives 106 hours of work to a bag- Another grower was added to the increasing number of Beaufort farmers growing hogs the Clem- son way when E. B. Mitchell, Lobeco, purchased 10 purebred sows and a purebred boar.—J. E. Youngblood, Beaufort. H. H. Haigler is making 200 bushels of No. 1 sweet potatoes per acre from vines.
