I ;et close" together It is a matter for regret that the _ urmers of South Carolina and the j; usiness men of the towns and cities re so far apart and have so many _ ilferences. Conditions in this re- ^ pect are certainly not as bad now as riey have once been, but at present liey are had enough. However, lianks to the agricultural colleges, _ ne farm demonstrator*, the farmers' istitutes, and similar affairs, the irmer has grown to understand the usiness man better and in turn the usiness man understands the farmer etter. Yet there is room for im- ~1 rnunmAnf Many farmers have an idea that ie minute they cross the city line, pming into town, every man in town fill begin looking for an advantage a fleece the farmer out of his hard- A arned money. Of course this is not rue with all the farmers or with even majority of them but that it is true rith some is a settled fact. Evidently all the farmers in Texas ? re of this class, judging by a letter E ecently sent out by a well known 'exas concern. This letter cannot pplv in Yorkville or in South Caro- ^ int for that matter, but it was not written for York county people. Howver, since there is certainly somehing of interest in the letter it is eproduced in order to give York ~ ounty farmers an idea of how they * ook at the cotton situation in Texas: "We are not in the cotton business, ut we know enough to say that an ~ rticle or a commodity is only worth 1 irhat it will bring when it is offered or sale. If 8 cents per pound, or ven 7 cents per pound, is all that a armer can get for cotton, then that s all cotton is worth regardless of it f>ncta tn tvii?co it "It is said that a farmer cannot aise cotton at less than 10 cents per I >ound, yet a great many thousand ? 'armers got rich, or at least inde- * >endant, raising it at 7 cents per 1 >ound, and that was when everything l slse that he raised was sold at a very nueh lower figure than is ruling tolay. Resides this, he didn't get $7.00 >er hale for seed as he gets today. i "We give you the following com)arisons: "He buys a hoe for oOc that used to :ost 75c. "He buys a file at 15c that used to :ost 35c. "He buys a single tree at 35c that jsed to cost 50c. "He buys a sweep at 8c that used o cost 15c per pound. "He buys a plier at 75c that used to ;ost $2.00. "He buys nails at 4c that used to , ;ost 5c per pound. "He buys wire at 3 l-2e that used J :o cost 10c per pound. "He buys hames at 50c that used to ?ost 75c. "He buys traces at 45c that used to 1 :ost 75c. "He pays GOc for picking where he jsed to pay $1.00. "He borrows money at 8 per cent, o 10 per cent, where he used to pay 12 and 15 ner cent. "He sells wheat at $1.00 that used :o bring 00c. "He sells oats at 50c that used to iring 18c. "He sells corn at 75c that used to >ring 15c. "He sells hay at $14.00 that used to iring $4.00. "He sells turkeys at $2.25 and ( sometimes $4.00 that used to bring 00 ! o 75c. 1 "He sells chickens at $3.50 that I jsed to sell at $1.25 to $1.50 per lozen. "He sells a horse at $150to $225 diat used to sell from $50 to SI00. "When he was confronted with the ibovc conditions he bought land on ;ime, cleared it, fenced rt, and soon mid for it, raising cotton at 7c nor nound. But if, indeed, he is making ess profit this year than formerlv, die same condition is true with you, ind with us, and with the business world at large."?York News.
