MUST IMPROVE CONDITIONS.
faming Should Be Made More Attractive
and Profitable.
The chief factor in making agriculture
permanent is that the social, educational,
recreational, and business
opportunities shall equal those of the
city or town . Fanning must become
sufficiently profitable that the farmer
can reasonably expect to amass
as much wealth as his fellows in the
eity. If this opportunity does not
exist the number of farmers will con- J
tinue to decrease and the type of men |
left in this industry will not equal j
those that have brought the American
farmer to his present high status of
loading the globe from the standpoint
of per capita output. Progressive
evolution in agriculture probably
means that the unit of production
must develop sufficiently to make a
specialization in labor possible that
will compare favorably with that of
other industries.
The farmer's life offers the greatest
opportunity for expression of individuality
that exists in any vocation.
Matters of personality, of effij'
ciency, and of organizing and business
ability are more directly expressed
in the returns he receives and in
the direct of accomplishment he experiences
than in any other line of
endeavor. The man who is alert,
quick, wide-awake and observant, is
more completely appreciated than in
any other industry, for he must discover
his needs and gain his rewards
through close association with each
ef the manifold phases of nature.
There is no one, to tell him the things
to do except himself, and his direct
measure of his own results are the
ehiefest of his rewards.
Nevertheless many improveemnts in
the housing and social conditions of
the farm must take place. The standards
of the citv with its heme con
vcniences and labor raving devices
mnst be made available to the housewife
and her family. Their need for
companionship must be met by improved
social conditions.
The war developed a very fallacious
aurgument in many branches of in-j
dustry through the assurance of cost
of production plus a certain profit on
government war contracts. It has
given many industries, not excluding
farming, the idea that they are entitled
to a profit on everything they
do regardless of their efficiency or the
demand for their product. The old
economic fact that profits do not come
unless a demand for products exist,

is ignored.
It is only by treating agriculture
as a national industry run along
strictly business lines, that the necessary
profits will be assured. The
growing of crops must be coordinated
with the demands for farm produce,
just as a manufacturing concent adjusts
its output to the growth of its
sales organization. The great disadvantage
is that agriculture is organized
on the small unit basis, but with
the proper study of the problem, and
with a constantly growing intelligence
among farmers, organization will be
as feasible as anywhere in our citizenship.
Farmers will then confer oftener
with the industries so closely related
to their business, and understand
the problems as a whole rather
then merely as the problems of the
farmer.?G. A. Cardwell, Agricultural
and Indusrtial Agent, Atlantic Coast

Crop Estimates for South Carolina.
Saluda, June 9.?According to re
port of B. B. Hare, agricultural statistician
in charge of the crop reporting
sendee in South Carolina for the
Bureau of Crop Estimates of the
United States Department of Agriculture,
the following estimates are noted
which show the condition of the
following crops on June 1st:
Wheat 80 per cent, of normal; oats
84; alfalfa 91; hay 85; cowpeas 83;
rye 86; cabbages 90; onions 91;
peaches 52; pears 60; apples 65; watermelons
75 and cantaloupes 70.
The report shows that the commercial
acreage planted to watermelons
this season will apporximate 11,000
acres, cantaloupes 1,200 and cucum1,500.
Barnwell county appears to
have the largest acreage of each of
these crops, and Blackville is one of
the largest, if not the largest, shipping
point. Other shipping points for
j melons are as loflows:
Barnwell, Lena, Furman, Allendale,
Cave, Kline, Denmark, Ulmer, Scotia,
Sycamore, Fairfax, Estill, Luray, Barton,
Dunbai-ton, Hattiesville, Baldock,
Appleton, Hilda, Olar, and Tillman.
The indicated production of wheat
in the state is 1,848,000 bushels,
against 1,785,000 bushels last year.
The acreage of oats is shown to be
1455,700 acres, or 5 per cent, more than
last year. The condition of 84 per
cent, forecasts a production of 10,481,000
bushels, or 65,000 bushels more
than in 1920.
J Peaches in central and western
counties were seriously injured by
frosts in April, while in the eastern

did not suffer so much from late
frosts as peaches though considerable
injury is now being reported on account
of blight.
During the early part of May rainfall
was abundant and farm work was
delayed to a considerable extent. Dura
greater portion of the month nights
were too cool and crop growth generally
was very poor, except the last
week of the crop reporting period
when there was a seasonable growth
and development of all crops.

Paint Rock, Ala.?Mrs. C. M. Stefan,

Interesting account of her re irery:
"I was In a weakened condition.
I was sick three years In bed,
offering a great deal of pain, weak,
nervous, depressed. Z was so weak,
I couldn't walk across the floor; Just
had to lay and my little ones do the
work. I was almost dead I tried
every thing I heard of, and a number of
doctors. Still i didn't fet any* relief.
I couldn't eat, and slept poorly. I
believe if I hadn't heard of and taken
Cardul I would have died. I bought
lx bottles, after a neighbor told me
| what it did for her.
"I began to eat and Bleep, began to
I gain my strength and am now well
and strong. I haven't had any trouble
since ... I Bure can teetify to the
good that Cardul did me. I don't'
think there Is a better tonic made
; and I believe It saved my life."
For over 40 years, thousands of women
have used Cardul successfully,
In the treatment of many womanly
ailments.
If you suffer as these women did,
i take Cardul. It may help you, too. i
