PAUL. H. HKARN Editor and Publisher. TAKE WARNING?SOW GRAIN It is very probable that cotton will ext year bring; a fancy price, but the irmer who fails to note the rising rice of all food stuffs and makes only otton next year is almost sure to jffer. To quote from The Manutclurers Record: "The Ki-ain crop of the present ear was 1,100,000,000 bushels smallr than the cron of the nreeedinir par. "Europe's demand upon this couny and Canada for wheat will take a pry considerable proportion of the ipplies of both countries, and prob)ly at a steadily advancing price, he phenominal activity in the manuicturing interests of the country akes a larger demand for foodstuffs an in periods of depression. We, lerefore, face the situation of urope's heavy demand upon us for >od and our own increasing con- . iniptive requirements in conjunc:>n with a decrease in supply of arming extent. "Before the next grain crop is proiced the country in all probability 11 be swept absolutely bare of wheat ul corn and other grains. We shall, erefore, go into the next crop seasi under conditions that would guar itee high prices even if we could > absolutely sure that the crop of )17 would exceed the unprecedented eld of l<lir> TVi?>rnfr>r?. iinHnr ;ry best conditions we cannot hope r any material decline in the cost f grain to the consumers of the untry, and the cost of grain will rgely measure the cost of all fooduffs. "If, however, through the failure of le farmers to sow and plant for a ;ry big acreage in grain, or if, by ason of unfavorable weather contions such as we had this year, we tould in 11)17 have another short op, the country would face what ractically might be called a food imine which could not be relieved > the extent of bringing prices back ? normal conditions lor se\eral years > come. It is needless to say that the South specially should give increased atmtion to the production of fooduffs. If this section should be smpted by the high price of cotton ) neglect putting in a large acreage i wheat this fall and an acreage taxig cultivating capacity next spring in ther grains, or if it should neglect ) product at home the livestock eeded for home consumption, this ear's high price of cotton would rove a curse instead of a blessing, he South, like the rest of the coun-y, will have to face from now on, jr the next year or two at least, rices for foodstuffs which we have ot seen since Civil War days. The anger is so serious that every bank r and every business man ought to o-operate with the farmers not only 1 encouraging them to produce food:uffs, but in adiing them financially herever it may be needed to make it ossible for them to cultivate grains nd produce livestock." WHO LAUGHS LAST When the first reports came from le wires Hughes was said to be electi. This caused the Republicans to ugh long and loud, which reminds us f a story. Two Irishmen were walking along igether when they saw another Irishan, a little fellow, approaching icm. "I am going to do up that little int. Just watch me," and he laugh1 long and loud as he rubbed his inds together in anticipation of an isy victory. When he tackeled the little Irishan he got the best beating of his fe. On getting to his feet again i said to his companion, "It's a >od thing I laughed first." It is our time to laugh now and s realize that "he laughs best who ughs last." IVE STATES FOR PROHIBITION 1 - ? L OUIlt-Wlll^ |U Oil 1 III IIWI1 IIIHUU suuantial gains 10 the late election, ve States in which prohibition was i issue went dry, according to tele- ( aphic reports. The States thus rented are Michigan, Montana, South , ikota, Utah and Nebraska. The reIt in Michigan is the more surprisg as that State had been headquarrs for the manufacture of beer for any years. Anti-Saloon League officials claim at with these five States added to e dry column one-half the Union is favor of prohibition. AFTER THE BOLL WEEVIL The Department of Agriculture at ashington is at work on a plan to < ive out the boll weevil. The plan is not been made public and will >t be until further experiments are j ado. It has been stated repeatedly ' at there is no known remedy for adicating the boll weevil but the { ashington authorities now say, give j em time and they will knock Mr. J >11 Weevil higher than Gilderoy's j te. If this proves true another laurel j 11 be added to the Wilson fcdminisition. ,, \ FREE TRADE VS. PROTECTION I ] Savoyard, the brilliant and learn-1 ed newspaper correspondent, in a recent article points to England as a country that has thrived under free trude. He refers to the fact that . free-trade England is financing the biggest war in tjie world's history and doing it on a gold basis. England borrowed $250,000,000 from New York bankers and gave as collateral $300,000,000 gilt-edged securities. Nearly all of the other belligerants are high tariff nations and they will all be bankrupt when the war ends. English statesmen say the war will last eighteen months longer and that they have the funds to finance the war to its close. They are counting, of course, upon winning the fight. When General Winfiel'l Scott Il:.n- ^ cock was running for the presidency some one asked h m how he stood on the taritt. His answer was he "didn't stand on it at all? that the tarilF t was a local issue," and that, to a man in a Lousisiana sugar plantation looks f very much like the truth. Patrick Has Farm Loan Association r c Patrick, Nov. 12.?E. J. Watson f met with a number of f armers at t Patrick on Thursday morning and j organized a farm loan association with the following officers: J. P. r Poison, president; S. L.

Poison, appraising t committee. s The membership at present is only , 11, with application for loans a amounting to $28,000 but these are all good industrious men that will make the association a. success, and others will be added at the next meeting. HOME READING The reading farmer is the successful farmer. The more specialized branches of agriculture become the more necessary is it for the farmer and fruit-grower to keep up with the times. The advances of science are being applied to agriculture as soon as to other hnsinoss ?n<l if f >* ?" or docs not stay abreast of times and ( reduce the cost of operations as soon ' as ways and means are found to 1 reduce the same he is waging an unequal war in the field of competition. ^ The United States Department of * Agriculture, Washington, D. C., and 1 the various State Experiment Sta- ' tions and Agricultural Colleges of the * country are always ready to respond to the requests of farmers for information and to furnish publications on the various subjects of interest to the farming public. * The agricultural press is constant- N ly bringing the important new devel- r opments and the old information ^ before its readers. The trouble is 1 that all the farmers are not readers I of papers and bullletins. Now that 1 the winter is coming on there will be many long evening on the farm when * reading may be done profitably. * The Kualist wishes to suggest that its > subscribers send for all publications ? listed in the column "Recent Publica- t tions", and keep them on file for fu- t ture reference and start a file of the r Ruralist and spend some time during a the winter indexing the same so it may be used as a reference book for the boy and girl.

It's a Horrible! [ You're bilious, sluggish, constipat- t ed and believe you need vile, danger- a ous calomel to start your liver and 1 g clean your bowels. Here's my guarantee! Ask your q druggist for for a 50-cent bottle of s Dodson's Liver Tone and take a spoonful to-night. If it doesn't start . your liver and straighten you right u up better than calomel and without ^ griping or making you sick 1 want a you to go back to the store and get 0 you money. n Take calomel to-day and to-morrow you will feel weak and sick and nau- ^ seated. Don't lose a day's work. n Take a spoonful of harmless, vegetable Dodson's Liver Tone to-night and wake up feeling great. It's per- _ fectly harmless, so give it to your j cnimren any time. It can't salivate, k> let them eat anything afterward. ASHCRAFTS Condition Powder* A high-class remedy for horses uid mules in poor condition and n need of a tonic.

Number of these voters making heir marks on the rolls, 282, or 23.8 >er cent. Number of enrolled voters from 30 ,o 39 years of age, 1,000. Number of these making their hark on the rolls, 258, or 25.8 per rent. Number of voters from 40 to 49 rears of age, 736. Number of these making their nark on the rolls, 191, or 25.9 per rent. Number of enrolled voters from 50 ;o 59 years of age, 443. i\uniDer ol these making their narks on the rolls, 144, or 32.5 per :ent. Number of enrolled voters 60 years ind over, 502. Number of these making their narks on the rolls, 216, or 43 per :ent. Total enrolled voters in Chesterield county, 3863. Total number of hese making their marks on the rolls, 109. Percentage of Democratic voters naking their marks on the rolls, 26.8 >er cent. At Dudley every man who signed he roll, wrote his own name. In an>ther precinct exactly half of those iigning the club roll made their mark. These figures are going on record igainst Chesterfield county and we >ublish them in order that we may jc fully aware of the condition and lo all that is within our power to remedy this deplorable showing before another enrollment takes place. Reformation should begin at the dace of enrollment. We are inform;d that the clerks often sign for a nan who is fully competent to write lis own name, because the handwritng of the voter in question may not )e legible. Henceforth those in n.,..r ?u? i?i ? ? - ' ui inc uuuivs <il mv tunc ot en ollment should insist that every man vho is able to do so should sign his iwn name. This, no doubt, will greaty improve appearances in this mater. The situation is still very serious, vhen the careless voter is accounted 'or. Chesterfield county should rally .0 the South Carolina slogan, "No'iliteracy by 1920," and then roll up ler sleeves and go to work. MR. LONG'S URGENT APPEAL Clemson College, Nov. 1, 1916 Gentlemen: If there should be a ailure or even a shortage in the vheat crop df this country in the lext twelve months, the matter of vheat bread would become a serious iroblem and the price would possibly >e higher than any time within the ecent history of our country. I am writing to urge that you will nake a special effort to have as large in acreage seeded as possible in vheat. You could not perform a rreater sen-ice to your people just at his time than to call their attention o this most important matter. Please nake every effort to secure as large in acreage as possible. Respectfully, W. W. LONG, Director Co-Operative Extension Vork. Flour Mill at McBee McBee, S. C., Nov. 8, 1916. ro the Farmers of South (^arolina: The farmers of South Carolina are ailing to appreciate the necessity of eeding a large acreage of grain, eslecially wheat. As you know, the price of flour at his time is higher than possibly at ,ny time since the Civil War. If here should be a shortage in the ;rain crop of this country or the Argentine Republic next season, the luestion of wheat bread would be a erious problem for our peopFe. In order to assist you in marketing ny grain you may raise, or convertng same into flour for your personal ise I am installing a flour mill of one mndred barrel capacity per day here t McBee and will be able to take care f any grain you may raise for the larket. If you contemplate puting out any rain this fall will you kindly advise ie of the amount you expect to sow? Yours truly, J. D. INGRAM.

We have recently passed through rigid, regular army inspection and ood all right. In fact, our captain lid we made the best record of any >mpany in the 1st Regiment, and we :el quite proud of it. The weather is awfully dry out sre and the sand storms are fierce, hey are worse at night than at any Lher time, and it is almost impossible > sleep at times. The army has a new field shoe, he sole is almost one inch thick with >b nails about one quarter of an inch >ng. They are so stiff it takes a jod soldier to bend the sole.

Roy Melton says, join the army and :e me world, but you will have to alk to see it. The other day someone asked rank Vaughan how he liked Texas, e said "It tastes pretty Rood." Will Sellers said that the definition f "guardhouse" was "A haven of ;fuge from reveilles, retreats, drills rid check calls."

J. Watson, commissioner of friculture of this State, yesterday, r. Watson has just returned from tour of the counties in Georgia iuched by the Savannah river, where : carefully observed the strides the ;st is makincr thftro fVl lid that only last Friday some newly fected places were discovered in eorgia and the pest is now in Burke >unty, which is just across the river om Barnwell in this State. He deares that if the boll weevil makes ie same progress next year as it did lis year and the last, it will probaly ach a line up to Columbia by next ill. However, he thinks that in case , should proceed that far by next s ill it would do no material damage ltil the following year. Col. Watson was one of the speak's at the big boll weevil conference Augusta Friday. Yesterday he nphasized his remarks made there i the effect that he considered the I lvent of the bol weevil a blessing ither than a calamity, because it ould awaken the people who are so igrossed with the one crop idea. He so said that with the present shortje of the wheat, oats, potato and re crops the farmers of the South ive the greatest opportunities of eir lives. "Wheat is higher now an ever before," he said, "and any rclligent farmer can make a good ? op of wheut during the fall and inter and harvest it in time to pl^nl cotton crop in spring." Commissioner Watson says that en after the boll weevil has come i believes that with the use of pedieed strains of seed and the use of xy intelligent methods the farmers , this State will be nble to make a tie of cotton to the acre.
