Secretary Sweet, of the Department
of Commerce, says the
increase in tonnage in the past
year of 737,623 tons, is about

tonnage for any previous year in
American history. Thus does
the administration of Woodrow
Wilson continue to grow in usefulness
to the American people,
adding to the prosperity of the
country.
With four big special sales in
progress in Chesterfield bargain
hunfers ought to have a happy
time. This is a good opportunity
for people who have been dealing
with mail-order houses to try
trading at home.
The sacrifices these merchants
arc making will be well rewarded
if some of our citizens learn what
good bargains are to be had right
at their door.
THERE'S LIGHT AHEAD
The European war is not an
unmixed evil to these United
States. In many respects Europe's
loss is our gain. Europe
will be compelled to buy our
wheat, corn, cotton and other
products and will have to pay
good prices to get them. Millions
of dollars will flow into
this country from over the sea.
Our big manufacturing plants
are enlarging their facilities,
lorced to by the demand for
their products. Among the very
many new enterprises that are
the result of the war is a chemical
company that will iuvest$14,000,000
in three plants to manufacture
chemicals that have heretofore
been imported from Europe.
The shipyards of the
country have orders for vessels
that will amount to$1,000,000,000.
These are staggering figures but
it is pleasant to know that business
prosperity is not limited to
these great concerns iu the East,
but will be distributed all over
the country. Every day the establishment
of some new enterprise
in the South is recordedThose
who read the daily papers
cannot fail to see that business
is on a flood tide of prosperity.
Secretary McAdoo's plan to
make $30,000,000 available
through Southern banks to assist
our bankers, merchants and
producers is one of the big things
of the big Democratic, administration.
This money will be deposited
in the Federal Reserve
banks of Atlanta, Dallas and
Richmond. Secretary McAdoo,
in a statement recently made
said there was no occasion for
alarm about the future of cotton.
Wo should think not, with all
of this money pledged to the
ton growers. As explained by
the Secretary of the Treasury it
is possible for a local banker to
take Farmer Brown's note, secured
by a warehouse receipt on
cotton, and rediscount that note
at Richmond, Atlanta or Dallas.

Stop Planting Scrub
SeedTo I ncrease Yield
Wbftk'a the use, Mr. Progressive
Farmer, of waiting until
next Bpring to select your seed
corn when you can do the ikork
so much more effectively now?
What's the use of planting ginrun,
badly mixed cotton seed
when, by field selection now, you
can make sure of a supply of pure
seed for planting next year?
We do not claim that pure
seed will double yiolds; but we
are certain that by getting the
variety of cotton or corn best
suited to your conditions and
then keeping it pure by careful
selection, you can increase your
yields from ten to thirty or even
forty per cent. In other words,
good seed will mean an increase
per acre of from two to twelve or
fifteen bushels of corn and of
from 50 to 250 pounds of seed
cotton. Aren't these increases
worth working for?
In selecting seed there are several
points that is well to bear in
mind. Some of these are :
1. Choose a variety best adapted
to your local conditions. A
variety of corn or cotton well
suited to the western. Carolinas.
Tennessee, or Northern Arkansas
may, on account of different
climatic conditions, be a very
pcor variety for south Georgia,
Florida and all the Gulf Coast
country. Here is where our
state experiment stations can
help us. True, thev may notal
ways be able to name thepartic
ular variety that will prove Li st
for our conditions; but they can
name the three or four varieties
that have done best, and from
these a good yielding selection
can be made.
2. Hold constantly in mind
the ideal type. In other words,
once the desirable characteristics
of a variety have been settled
upon, in making future selections
see that they are made
only from plantspossessing what
are the most nearly ideal qualities.
8. Plant a seed patch every
year. It is manifestly impracticable
to hand-select each year a
sufficient amount of seed to plant
our whole crop the next year;
but it is comparatively easy to
carefully select enough to plant
an acre or so. Then from this
seed plat selections can be ma lc
again for the next year's seed
plat, while the general run of
seed can be used for the whole
crop next year.
4. Avoid mixing after harvesting.
With cotton seed, however
careful we may be in selecting
seed in the held, it is simply
impossible to keep them pure
with our presei i ginning methods.
Where a small hand-po.vor
gin is not available, probably the
best plan will be to hold the selected
cotton in the seed until
the rush ginning season is over,
and then have the ginuer clean
out the roll and clean up thoroughly
in order to prevent any
other varieties getting mixed
with yours.
5. Avoid losses in stored
seeds. Weevils and rats particularly
should be kept away from
1 ^ '
curn, ami it is important
that the cotton seed should be
kept dry and net allowed to
heat.
To carry out these suggestions
will be neither dillicult nor expensive.
and doing so will mean
bettir seed, bigger yields and
larger profits, This being true,
can you anv longer afford to
plant scrub seeds??Progressive

How the County
Fair Is An Inspiration
By Peter Radford.
When you enter the agricultural department
of the county fair, you feel
your soul uplifted and your life takes
on a new power?that is the inspiration
of the soil. You are overpowered
by the grandeur and magnificence of
the scene?that A* the spirit of the
harvest. You can hear the voice of
nature calling yow back to the soil?
that is opportunity knocking at your
door. It is a good chance to Bpend a
quiet lipur in contact with the purity
and perfection of nature and to sweeten
your life with its fragrance, elevate
your ideals with its beauty and expand
your imagination with its power.
These products as food are fit for
the gods, and Ha nn nrtiHe. of
mere? they ought to bring tip-top
prices on any market in the world.
The products of the soil are teachers
and preachers as well. Their beauty
glveB human life its first entertainment,
their perfection Btirs the genius
in artists; their purity furnishes mode\p
for growth of character and their
marvelous achievements excite our
curiosity and we inquire into the wonderful
process of nature. /
Before leaving the parlor of agriculture
where nature is parading in her
most graceful attire and science 13
climbing the giddy heights of perfection,
let us pause and take a retrospective
view. How many, of you
know that after these wonderful products
are raised, they can seldom be
marketed at a profit? Take the blushing_Elberta,
for example-r-they were
fed to the hogs by the car'oad last
year. The onion?the nation's favorite
vegetable?every year rots by the
acre in the Southwest for want of a
market and as a result hundreds of
farmers have lost their homes. Cotton?nature's
capitalist?oj ten goes
begging on the market at less than
cost of production.
It is great to wander through the
exhibits while the band is playing
"Dixie" and boast of the marvelous
fertility of the soil and pride ourselves
on cur ability to master science, but
It is also well to remember that there
is a market side to agriculture that
does not reflect lis hardships in the
exhibits at a county fair. ,

"New Freight Depot
for Charming Cheraw
S. T. A. McM*lu8 and J. A.
Watson have jvttfc sold part cf
their property on Front street at
the foot of Market to the Seaboard
Air Line Railway company
for terminal purposes. This is an
ideal location for the purpose
and the company will spend between
$50,000 and $75,000 on
freight depot and concrete cot
ton platform. This move has
been made to compete with the
Atlantic Coast Line which has its
tracks behind the buisness house
on the north 6ide of Market street,
the Seaboard's new property
being on the south side. Three j
years ago Mr. McMaous sold to I
tho On*sr, lino Rkilvrmd Ootii. I
pany certain property on north
side for $13,000,and the company
spent neurly $10,000,000 on
freight depot, platform and
trackage and got nearly all the
freight, going into and out of
Oheraw.
With these new facilities for
shipping, Oheraw will be second
to no city in the state as a convenient
local freight center.?
