Bale No. 2, exposed on dunnage and ^
turned after each rain or once a week, ^
dropped in ne marketable weight
from 487 to 480 pounds. (Seven pounds

further attention duiing the test, dropped
from 489 to 485 pounds. (Four 0(
pounds lost) cc
Bale No. 4, flat on ground during ^
entire test same surface down at all c
times dropped from 492 to 260 pounds ^
(232 pounds lost). During the test this
bale absorbed moisture until it weigh- m
ed 912 pounds on June 7th. In re-con- u
ditioning. 420 pounds of moisture rs
went out and 232 pounds of moulded
and ruined cotton were thrown away. ^
Bale No. 5, on the end on ground
during the entire test with the same .
surface down at all times, dropped
from 505 to 385 pounds. (Loss 120 se
pounds.) nc
Bale No. 6, on edge during entire ^
test, same surface down at all times,
dropped from 503 to 438 pounds. (Loss ca
65 pounds.) ar
Bale No. 7, on edge on ground, turned
from time to time, at least once a a
week, dropped from 495 to 473 pounds. *
(Loss 22 pounds.) s*
The most striking fact disclosed was ?'
that of a 492 pound bale of cotton stor- ^
ed flat on the ground for six months ut
Jost 282 pounds, leaving 260 pounds
for the market, while another bale i(
property stored in a warehouse lost ^
only two pounds. This means that if ^
the price was 30 cents a pound, the ?*
loss on the first bale was $69.60. "Hie
loss on the bale in the warehouse was 18
hut sixty cents. n
Now that we have discovered the *r
actual loss suffered year after year
from the careless handling of the cot- ^
ton crop, let us take a look at a crop m
which can and should be made a money
crop?sweet potatoes. w
South Carolina produced in 1919 ^
on 84,000 acres of land 7,560,000 bushels
of sweet potatoes, valued at $11, *?
189,000 on the farms. By reason of improper
storage and disease, possibly j*
one-half of this crop was lost to the
growers and to the consuming public n
as a food. In other words, after put- tr
ting your money and labor into the w
production of this splendid food crop,
by careless methods you permitted a m
monetary loss to the state of not less ?*
than five and a half million dollars;
a fearful economic waste when we con- y?
sider that fod stuff is badly needed m
and that a similar loss is occurring
year in and year out. It is a wellknown
fact that a large percentage
of the sweet potato crop can be saved ^

The Negro Question ^
Before going into this subject, I desire
to address a few words to our col- j
ored farmers.
cc
Don't get panicky with the coming
of the boll weevil?keep your head.
Don't believe tales brought to you
about the opportunities in the North ^
and West for the Negro. The place for .
the negro race is ra the South, the ^
climate suits him better; constitutionally
they are not able to withstand the JV
long cold northern winters. They know
the disposition of the white people of ^
the South and the white people know a<
them, and generally, there exists a
feeling of kindness between the racs.
Many southern colored farmers hare
made nice fortunes during the past e\
few years, and many negro tradesmen, U
carpenters, painters, brick masons, oi
plumbers, saw mill workers, and labor- b;
ers have not only made a good living, ci
but have made considerable money, si
Some of these people have raised their 01
standard of living, are good citizens fi
and are happy and contented.
Is this true of the North and West ? o:
I believe that my knowledge of condi- a:
tions in those sections, enables me to v
tell you that it is not. In Washington,
New York Philadelphia, Chicago, si
Springfield, Cleveland, Columbus, To- n
lado and many other northern and ti
western cities, race riots are occurring b
with distressing frequency. You may g
esire to know what causes these riots an*
11:henorth and west, where you have his
robably been told that conditions for ing
fie negro race are preferable to those tor
t>und in the South. The elements of his
lie white lace, with which the negro kel
omes most frequently in contact in gel
fie north and west have a.feeling of rec
ctive enmity towards the colored del
lan. while this feeling does not exist the
1 the South. What has caused this oui
jeling in the north ? It is due to cometion.
The element in the north per>rming
manual labor, for which the
eero is. at this oeriod. best suited. a
nds the negro an active competitor
id a situation of this kind, whether
be between nations or races, proices
friction. The white labor has not1
with alarm the rapid increase in the *
>lored ,population in many northern ^ar
id western cities, and determined ef- on
>rts are being made to drive the ne- tar
ro out of these communities. I am Pro
ank to confess that I hope this move- ma
ent will succeed, as I believe it will
timately prove beneficial to jrour
tee. As previously stated, you are wa
iown and understood in the South, n,n
id generally there is a feeling of
ndness toward you on the part of ^
ie white people. The slums of the mc
g cities of the North, with their 1
vere winter climates, are certainly
>t to be compared with the great
it-of-door climate to be found in the ^p|
)uth, where you and your children
,n make a good, comfortable living ^
td enjoy many privileges. C
At Toledo Ohio several years ago. h'in
negro came to me and asked me if cop
knew where he could find a good thii
and for a butcher shop in North Car- of t
ina. He told me he was from North nie<
irolina originally. I asked him why in 1
; wanted to leave Toledo and come
ick south, he told me that he found
>ledo agreeable in some ways, but 1
at Via u-ae not. nprmittpH tn wnrlr flt I day
s trade, and that he had to do jobs ope
various kinds to make a living. ^ho
Just think of it?Idon't believe there ???
any locality in the south where a 'ast
(gro is not permitted to follow his hav
ade. This man brought his wife aund
to see me, and she told me that
,re had been quite different, with , 1
ore difficulties than she had expec- corT
d, and that she and her husband ries
anted to get back to North Carolina, her
tiis was a most respectable couple a*
id after several years trial, they 26t]
>und the situation in the North not hav
? easy as they had been led to believe
would be. Since that time conditions I
the north have become more se- clot
ous for the negro, on account of the hicl
ade competition that I have mention- IST*
L My advice to the negro race is, dur
ay in the .South, live clean, decent ver
dustrious lives; raise the standard reti
' living in your homes, and you will in '
od many a helping hand extended
>u by the southern white farmers, 5
erchants and bankers. pri<
Soil Fertility Fundamental the:
In any system of farming"Soil Fer- *0-'
Ity is Fundamental". The arrival of
e cotton boll weevil, the scarcity an J 1^1
gh cost of farm labor, and the great- Dl
increased cost of seeds and commeril
fertilizers make it absolutely necsary
for the farmer who is not in
tsiness for his health and pleasure,
it for a good living tostudy and ap- Pun
y farm practices that increase crop ]
elds.
Coastal Plains Soil Deficient in Organic
Matter
Coastal Plains soils, generally
eaking are deficient in organic mat- Ke?
r. In order that the most profitable B
eduction of crops shall be secured,
en when using fertilizing materials,
will be necessary to so arrange the ^
op rotations that organic matter in
nsiderable quantities will be turned sus1
ick into the the soils low in this ma- ren(
rial. In arranging the rotations, it
lould be planned as nearly as posble
to ptovide, by the growing of w^(
titable leguminous crops and turn- ^ss
g themin, the required nitrogen in ftlAi
e soils for the nonleguminous crops CQr]
' the rotation. In order to grow the
guminous crops in the rotation sue- m
;ssfully and in some cases too, the pjje
>nleguminous crops, it will be neces- .
iry to use liberal quantities of lime
1 the soils. It is quite evident from ^es.
le large number of acid or sour soils j.
the Coastal Plain section of South you
arolina that not near enough lime is
;ed by the farmers at the present j,
me to secure the largest and most a
rofitable crops. I believe that drain- f
je, lime and cover-crops will greatly
icrease the productivity of your soils. ^ j
A Blanket of Green 1
Let us put a blanket of green on gar
;evy acre of our cultivated lands this it.
ill. It will keep thousands of dollars ing
F fertility from being washed away E
y the winter rains, and it will in- Ma
-ease our production next fall, be- let
des adding to the attractiveness of san
ir country. Bare desolate looking Th<
elds are a poor advertisement. gai
In closing 1 Dnng to you we woras
f Henry W. Grady, of Georgia, who
s far back as 1888 gave voice to this Foi
isioa: 10"When
