And what are the prospects for profits from crops other than cotton? A number of factors enter into the answers to those questions now engaging the interest of furhiers of South Carolina, says the Extension Service of Clemson College. It has been the common experience of the South to receive less money for a fifteen million bale crop of cotton .than for an eleven million bale crop. With an average season the same number of acres we had in cotton last year will produce this yeur fifteen million bales. Sn?'ti ? # ?? : ?.. 111 view wf the high cost of production this yeur would probably be marketed at a serious loss to the producers. Many farmers in this State und throughout the South have learned to live at home by supplying practically nil their needs from the farm. This policy needs to be applied to every farm in the State, rented farms included. The landlord will necessarily have to take the initiative in inducing tenants to produce needed supplies. Such a course as this leads to commercial freedom of the South, restoration of fertility to the land, and a permanent profit for agriculture. What should we plant in South Carolina on these lands taken out of cotton? We cannot afford to let fields lie idle any more than we can afford o grow cotton at a loss. To properly answer the above luestion will require some thought on he part of every farmer. The best ayout of crops for one farm might lot suit another nearby farm. The guiding principle should be in each :ase to plant crops that promise to jay better than cheap cotton. So ar as is possible crops should he frown that may be fed to livestock. ?Vhen crops are fed on the farm und he manure returned to the land the toil is enriched, wheras cotton does lot increuse the fertility of the land. Certainly there should be an increased acreage this year in corn vith velvet beans, sorghum for feed ind syrup, sugar cane for syrup, lefunie hay crops, soy beuns and pealuts for hogs, sweet and Irish potaocs, home gardens, and permanent matures. Plans should be made this ipring for putting in a large acreage n alfalfa next full. In planning u system of crops the ' abor requirements for eafch crop nust be taken into consideration, frequently the crop which sells for nv mom. per acre ih net the most irofituble crop, because of the exceslive labor cost of that crop. Labor ih now the most expensive l equirement for crop production. ( Drops which require less labor, ?uch 'or instance as alfalfa, may compete ' lucessfully with cotton. There are lundreds of farms in the State which lave their most profitable ncres in ( termanent pasture sodded to Bcr- , nuda grass. Along the coastal plnins, , relvet beans, soy beans and peanuts vhen pastured by livestock make urge returns at a small labor cost. MR. HENRY D. P1GG 7rom The Lakeland Journal: Mr. Henry I).

GERMANY MAY BE BACK OF i ANARCHY IN HUNGARY ' ? i Washington, March 24.?The Hungarian government's adoption of Bolshevism is regarded in well-informed diplomatic and other quarters in Washington us the gravest and most serious development in the international military and political situution since the signing of the armistice last November. It is regarded as a move of a gume played jointly by the German, Austrian, and Hungarian governments, in association with the Bolshevist Soviet authorities at Moscow, in an effort to save Germany in particular, anil her central power associates incidentally, from payment of the penalty the En tent Powers represented at the Paris Peace Conference contemplate laying on the enemy. Evidence is cumulative that such a game is well under way, and that the pawns on thi international chess board have been moved rapidly since the end of February, when it became evident to Germany that the Paris terms would be harsher than she had expected. Rather than accept the terms that are being drafted in Paris, it was intimated toniirht- thi- sill! hnrit i??u ?t Berlin and those over whom they still exercise a real measure of inlluence at Vienna and Budapest are threatening all Kuropc and the rest of the world with the anarchy and chaos of Bolshevism. The resignation of Count Karolyi and of the Hungarian Cabinet with an appeal to the "proletariat of the world" and intimations of a declaration of war against the Kntente arc believed to he a part of a program for dangling the threat of Bolshevism before the I'aris Conference. The Hungarian adoption of Bolshevism is regarded in particular as the fruit of German machinations to overthrow the Kntente projects for the formation of the new buirer Slates of i'oland, Czechoslovakia, Rumania and Jugoslavia. The situation confronting the Peace Conference is believed in wellinformed quarters here to be too serious to warrant further temporizing with the Bolsheviki. SOLID SECURITY FOR YOUR BONDS It is the Wealth of This Great Country Somewhere Near Hundred and Fifty Billions of Dollars. How many holders of "Libertys" realize fully the security that Is back 5f that property they own? It Is the wealth of the riche-st natlon of the earth. Here's but a glance at what that wealth comprise*. With 6 per cent of the world's population and 7 per cent of the world's land America owns of the world supplies: 70 per cent of the copper. 52 per cent of the coal. 20 per cent of the gofcl. 66 per cent of the oil. 40 per cent of the iron and steel. 53 per cent of the silver. 60 per cent of the cotton. 26 per cent of the wheat. 6ft per cent of the corn. 3ft per cent of the meat supplies. Other mineral and agricultural projects In proportion. Today Europe owes us $10,000,000.)00; four years ago we owed her nearly half that. Lastly our annual inrome, that of ill the people and industries, is today wreathing like $70,000,000,000 annually and our nationnl wealth close to 1360,000.000.000 Don't sell your government securities They will mean more to you by?nd by. UGH! CALOMEL MAKES YOU DEATHLY SICK Stop using dangerous drug before ? auvaid you i li t horribltt! You're bilious, sluggish, constipated and believe you need vile, danforous calomel to start your liver siid clean your bowels. Here's my guarantee! Ask your Iruggist for a bottle of Dodson's Li- j /or Tone and take a spoonful tonight. ' [f it doesn't start your liver and , itraightcn you right up better than calomel and without griping or making you sick 1 want you to go back to the store and get your money. Take calomel and tomorrow you will feel weak and sick and nauseatd. Don't lose a day's work. Take a spoonful of harmless, vegetable Dodson's Liver Tone tonight and wake up feeling great. It's perfectly harmless, so give it to your children any time. It can't salivate, so let them eat anything afterwards. Adv. 2. STEVENSON SPEAKS ON LEAGUE OF NATIONS The Hon. W. F. Stevenson addressed a crowded house at St. Paul's Methodist church last Sunday evening. On invitation of the pastor, the Rev. 11. J. Guess, Mr. Stevenson spoke on the subject of the League of Nations, which the speaker preferred to call the "League of Peace." lie was introduced by Senator G. K. Luncy. Mr. Stevenson saw in the "League of Peace," now being organized under the leadership of President Wilson, not only the fulfillment of prophecy, but the natural and logical development of Christianity. Some six thousand years ago, he said, there was a chorus in the heavens when the "Htars sang together" over the establishment of the earth and the appointment of man to rule over it. Four thousand years later there was another chorus in the heavens when the angels sang of "Peace on earth and good will among men." And now, said he, two thousand years after the coming of the Prince of Peace, the people of the earth are "oniinir toirether to form n Ii>aotip thnt will fo"'vrr keep pcai(r on earth. Mr. Stevenson brought out the fact that the league as now constituted 's no now thing, that three hundred years ago, when America vas beginning to be settled a Frenchman proposed sueh a league amont' the nations of Europe and drafted a consti'iition strikingly similar to the coveiant of Mr. Wilson. Then there have been many other attempts along that line since then, the most notable of which was the Hague Convention, v.hich would have succeeded had it not been for the retrugradc action of Cermany. As a result of the Hague Convention the United States now has treaties with some thirty nations, many of them European, and all endorsed by the very United States Senators who are making such an outcry against "entangling ulliances." The Monroe Doctrine, he thought, would not be placed in jeopardy but made stronger than ever when it became an accepted principle umong all nations. VICTORY CROPS GOOD !
