BETTER PRICES BUT LESS
INCOME FROM COTTON
AND TOBACCO
Clemson, Sept. 15.—The total num.
ber- of dollars from the sale of farm
products produced in South Carolina
in 1941 will be less than the number
received from, the sale of products
produced in 1940, says 0. M. Clark,
economist and farm management
specialist of the Clemson College Ex
tension Service, discussing the com
parative values of South Carolina’s
two chief money crops, cotton and to
bacco, for last year and this year.
“The farm income for the United
States is expected to be substantially
greater in 1941 than in 1940,” Major
Clark continues. “However, because
of the very much smaller cotton and
tobacco crops, the income to the far
mers of South Carolina from the sale
of farm produce will be less than in
1940, in spite of the prospective
higher average prices for cotton and
tobacco.”
Explaining this situation Major
Clark points to these figures:
“The value to the farmers of
South Carolina of the 1940 cotton
crop including the seed sold was
about 58 million dollars. If the 1941
crop for the state turns out to be the
same as the Government’s estimate
as of September 1, the lint would
have to bring better than 24 1-2 cents
a pound and the seed $50 a ton for
the crop to be worth as much as the
1940 crop was worth. At the produc
tion estimated and at an average of
17 1-2 cents a pound for lint and $50
a ton for seed sold, the total value
of the crop would be about 43 million
dollars, or about 15 million dollars
less than last year’s crop.
“The 1940 tobacco crop brought to
the farmers of South Carolina about
12 million dollars. The present
season’s crop is smaller than that of
last year but the average price will
be considerably higher than last
season’s average. If this year’s crop
is about in line with the Givemment’s
estimate of September 1 and sells for
an average of about 25 cents a pound,
the total income from tobacco will be
approximately 17 1-2 million dollars,
or about 5 1-2 million dollars more
than from last yea’s crop.
HOARDING OF FOOD INJURIOUS
TO ALL, EXPERT DECLARES
portant food staples by both con
sumers and distributing agencies in
the fear of possible future shortages
or for the purpose of avoiding higher
prices later.
The department insists that there
is an abundance of most foods. Only
in the case of some dairy products,
poultry products, some kinds of
meats, certain canned vegetables
and fruits, and products imported
from Europe or Asia, is there a pos-
| sibility, officials said, that the supply
' may not be large enough to meet
both the increased demand of this
country and of larger requirements
for shipments to Great Britain under
the “aid-for-democracy” program.
Washington, Sept. 15.—D. E. Mont
gomery, Agriculture department con
sumers’ counsel, declared today that
hoarding of food supplies either by
consumers or by distributors was in
jurious both to the general public and
the interests of national defense.
Hoarding, he said, was bound 1 to
have the effect of boosting prices
more than they would go up other
wise.
Montgomery’s statement was is
sued as the department received many
reports of large-scale nuying of im-
CHILD DIES OF ACCIDENT
John Earl Long, three-months-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. Ira B. Long of
the Union community, died Monday
afternoon shortly after being admit
ted to the local hospital of injuries
suffered when he was run over by a
car.
The accident occurred when a neigh-
1 bor was driving Mrs. Long’s car oht
i of a ditch. The child had been plac
ed some distance from the car on the
; ground and in backing out of the
ditch the car is said to have swerved
and run over the child, crushing its
skull.

I VJONDE.R- o
lookin' round
The State.
Chances are Governor Burnet May-
bank was burning one cigaret after
another at about 7:08 last night,
slowing down just a little at 7:55,
cutting down almost to normal by
8:07 p. m. and puffing away slowly
and just for the run of it by 8:36 p.
m.
Those were the times that state
wide election reports came in over
the wires of the Associated Press and
results were probably shot straight
to the governor.
The first statewide report came
over the wires at 6:06 p. m. from 180
boxes that reported these figures:
Maytbank, 9,342; Johnston, 9,155.
That’s when Mr. Maybank began fill
ing his room with smoke.
The second return was at 6:37 and
492 of the state’s 1,520 precincts in-:
creased Maybank’s lead to 1,547. This '
lead dropped to 1,488 when the 7:08
return came in from 610 precincts. |
At 7:40 the governor had 38,399,
votes against 34,246 for Johnston and
he was pulling away to a sizeable
I lead. Twenty-seven minutes later,!
returns from 1,062 boxes showed May. 1
bank to have 58,792 votes against'
j 48,053 for Johnston.
It was a tale of two cities that was |
bringing grief to the former gover
nor about that time. Charleston and
Georgetown were being heard from
and their votes were overwhelmingly
for Maybank. Johnston was holding
a deal on his own side of the street,
but the Anderson and Spartanburg
majorities weren’t anything like those
Maybank was piling up in the low-
country.
At 8:36, it was just about all over
but the shouting (or pouting, all de
pending). Maybank’s majority had
increased to just short of 20,000 and
about four-fifths of* the state’s pre
cincts had reported. The vote was:
Mafibank, 80,403; Johnston, 60,591.
Art. 9 o’clock with 66 more precincts
heard from, Maybank’s lead had
dwindled by about 1,000 but* It in
creased to 21,451 by 9:51.
The last report of the evening came
over the wires at 10:46 and gave re
turns from 1,367 of 1,520 precincts.
The vote was: Maybank, 89,284; John
ston, 67,693. The winning man had
picked up another 240 votes and he
was heading to the radio station to
tell the public how it feels to be
elected a senator.
Mr. Johnston followed up with
concession of defeat, but he seemed to
have the attitude prevalent among
Carolina supporters after the annual
Clemson game. “Wait until next
year.”
S. C. STATE FAIR
Columbia, Sept. 15.—With the 71st
South Carolina State Fair now only
a little over a month off, preparations
at the fair office in Columbia for the
annual exposition are almost com
plete. Long a policy of the fair man.
agement, everything possible is done
in advance of the opening dates, so
there will not be th? usual frantic
rush at the last minute, the plague of
so many enterprises.
The dates set for the fair this
year are October 20-25, the entire
third week of the month. The Car-
olina-Clemson game will be played
on Thursday of that week, October
23rd.
Many signs indicarte the greatest
air yet, D. D. Witcover, of Darling
ton, president, and Paul V. Moore,
Spartanburg county, the secretary,
are convinced. Inquiries evidence con
siderable interest and the demand for
exhibit space has been brisk.
With good times pouring extra dol
lars into the pocketbooks of South
Carolina citizens, the fair should
break all attendance records this year.
SERVICES AT CLAYTON MEM.

ial Universalist church Sunday, Sep
tember 21st, beginning at 11 a. m.,

tend these services.
