Statistician Hare Speaks of South Carolina Work FARMERS SHOULD STUDY NOTICES CLOSELY Boll Weevil and Low Price of Cotton Demands Careful Study of Conditions Snluda, S. C, August 26.? Never before was there greater ne? cessity for dependable crop estimates nor was there ever a time, especially in South Carolina, when formers should study government crop reports} more carefully than today. For since the appearance of the'boll weevil in most sections of the atate many farm? ers are already asking themselves and, making other inquiry hs to what they shal plant In the place if eotton, es? pecial ly#those who contemplate a re? duction in acreage next year. To know Just what the reduced cotton acreage should be planUd in is to be the great problem confronting parctically every farmer of the state, and the data for its solution cannot be postponed. He must decide one way or anothet with? in the nex: few months. Will the so? lution be correct, will it be partially correct, or will it be a failure? Wo feel, as already sv?g*ested, that an n teiligent and careful study of gov? ernment crop reports by farmers and business rien will contribute much to? wards knowing just what crops to substitute'in place of cotton wherever there is to be a reduction In acreage, for from these reports the farmers will be able to learn just what crops ire being- planted In other places, the rcreage and production of^ eacb, the nevailiuj prices and the probable de nand for same at harvest time. With this information the farmer will know to plant those crops in which over ? roduction Is hardly probable and hereby obviate the mistake of plant 'ng some stop already grown to such in extent In other sections to meet the pro nable demands. One illustration will be sufficient to make clear my point. For instance, I after tho large crop a nd very low prloe of cotton in the fall of 1914 many, farmers felt that it would be, useless to plant a ful crop of cotton the next year and a Urge number of them, especially in the lower, half of the State, substituted from 1 to 4 acres of Irish potatoes to the plow for [spring market The loss which fol? lowed in the way of money spent for (se'-d poUitles, fertilizer, labor, etc., amounted to thousands of dollars, a large portion of which may have pe*n obviated by a careful study of the gov? ernment reports at that time, for theiy showed that the falb potato grow? ing1 states of the north had ^arriod( over in the fad of 1914 an unusually large wurplus which would likely be placed on the market In competition with' spring potatoes In May; or' June following. All those who planted pota? toes a.t that tlm?V for dommercigl pur? poses remember that at harvest time what might have been expected really jhapejied and prices were hardly suf 11 I clear to pay for barrels and diggng. It Is not the function of the crop re? porting service to advse what crops to plant, when to plant them or to what eater t, but it does furnish very de? pendable brformatlon as to what crops are planted In other section,, when they are planted, the extent to which they are plaited, the probable pro? duct .on and iho usual time for har? vesting each, and It appears trat such information, if property utilised, should prove to be of great advantage to every farmer in organizing his farm operations, especially in South Carolina where reorganization seems to bo certain within the neut few'years. Tour part, therefore, in the/, work Is oi! much value in making our esti? mates most dependable, and at the same time yon are rendering a great service to the public. n. b. Hare.

OTHER NATIONS DO NOT TAX NATIONALS Americans in Foriegn Countries Are Under Heavy Financial Burden Rio De Janero, August 26.?Ameri? cans residing in Kra/il have begun, through the American Chamber oil Commerce for Brazil, an active cam? paign for the abolition of, the Amer? ican income tax on citizens residing abroad. The Chamber has authorized a special committee to ?ngage a prom? inent lawyer of Washington to bring before C^nigreaa a bill drawn up by the Chamber dealing with the subject. The moral and financial support of all American chambers abroad and the foreign trade bodfrs In the ?nited states is -being solicited. Americans abroad are to be asked to urge their congressional representatives to make Independent representations to Con greae. Thecommittee which had the matter ter in charge recommends that total exemption be asked for* principally for tho reason that European countries do not tax their' nationals, engaged in husiess abroad, and that only total ex? emption will place the American on an equal footing with European com? petitors in developing American for-r elgn trade. The argument for exemption is based not only on the handicap In comparisbn with European oompeti ' tors, but also on the plitical theory that taxation without representation is contrary to American id-sals, the com? mittee pointing out that Americans living abroad are unable to express th?eir will concerning government pol? icies, being virtually deprived of the right to vote. It is also argued that Americans liv? ing abroad are involved in a greater amount of responsibility and effort for the good of American interests, impos irg a greater financial burden than would be the case at home: that while the American at home receives pre? ferential, protection for his business through import taxation against for? eign Corupetitiof, the American abroad is subject to the customs and taxes levied by his country of residence* without any prcferenUal protection. Danger that Americans abroad may relinquish their American citizenship and adopt that of the country where they reside rather than submit to what they deem an excessive ant! unjust tax, oosaibilty of evading the lax and un? fairness this creates, und hardship or the tux on Anuricaiis of moderate means are other recsons advanced, Why the income tax should be abol? ished.

GERMANY IS STORMCENTER Slovak President Predicts Dis? solution of Empire HATRED AND POVERTY TO CAUSE NEW WAR Hungarian Soldiers Recently Mobilized May Cross Border and Attack Czechs _ ! Budapest, August 2*?Central En ! rope and Germany will surely be I war and political storm centers soon I hi the opinion of Victor Dvorcgk, who was president of the Slovakiait republic for a period of a few weeks preyioua to the annexation of Slo. vakia by the Czechs in November 1918. Slovaks in the United Statt* invited him to visit them this sum? mer. "I have just completed a tour of all Europe." said Mr. Dv.orcak, "and these storms are in the air. Ger? many wi 1 break up into the small states of a hunde.-d years ago. The 3,000,000 Germans now held by ifW Czechs will join .the Sarons, while the Austrians will Join the Bavarians, perhaps. I "There wiil be a wai between jkyn Poles and the Czechs, as the latU^h have ::n understanding wit it the Uos oow government. In this war Hun? gary will help the Poles, in order to get back Slovakia, orce her province. Should the Rumanians have diffi? culties with the Russian Rolsheviiti over the old province of Bessarabia, this will be a signal for the Hungar? ians to get back Transylvania. Tho Hungarians know well that the Al? lies can't help the Caechs in a mili? tary way, and perhaps Wouldn't if they could. "The point that troubles the Hi n?, garians most is the possible atti? tude of the Serbs shoull the Hungar? ians engage in a new war. Tltey hope that Italy in such ea.se would .threaten the Serbs. Sim old the Hun? garians .first strengthen therruwives by helping the monarchists in Aule tria to overthrow that republic, and then both be joined anew under Hm<i , peror Charles, the case With Serbig might be helped.
