m The Chesterfield Advertiser Paul H. and Fred G. Ileum Editors PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY Subscription Rates: $1.50 a Year; six months, 75 cents.?Invariably in advance. Entered as second-class matter at the postoftice at Chesterfield, South Carolina. CHEAPER FERTILIZERS The Agricultural department at Washington informs farmers thai they should obtain their mixed fertilizers 30 per cent, lower than the price that prevailed in the spring. Manufacturers of fertilizers, after a conference with officials of the department have established a basic price f.o.b the ports of Norfolk, Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah and other Southern ports. This is good news for Southern farmers. Thirty per cent, is a fairly reasonable reduction, though prices have been pretty high for some time. In this connection it is gratifying to learn that ten big fertilizer plants will be established in the South by the Tennessee Copper and Chemical Corporation. The copper company has been operating for many years a big plant at Copperhill, Tenn., turning out a large quantity of sulphuric acid as a byproduct. It has acquired large holdings of phosphate rock in Florida and plans entering the commercial fertilizer field on a large scale. The headquarters of the corpora tion will be in Atlanta. South Carolina should bid for one or more of these plants. One at Columbia would help this section. NO TAX ON FAIR TICKETS Revenue Commissioner Roper has given out from Washington the in formation that it has been decided to eliminate revenue tax on all county fair tickets, admission and grand stand, where the fairs are not conducted for a profit. Mr. Roper's head is level. County fairs are usually conducted solely for the benefit of the county in which they are organized. They are usually financed and operated by public-spirited citizens whose interest is to build up their community. The county fairs always rank high as educational and inspirational institutions. NO UNJUST LEGISLATION Referring to some Republican threats as to what they will do to the South in the way of drastic legislation the Augusta Chronicle suggests that it is only talk. The Chronicle says: "Should they attempt to really handicap the South it would he easy enough to drive them away from any such sectional and un-patriotic purposes, by merely getting a few thousand protests from consumers of goods manufactured in northern centers, to the manufacturers, who would stop the deviltry in a jiiTy. The South may be "a conquered province," but is one of the North's juciest trade plums, ami when the loss of is threatened, these northern senators and congressmen can he shown a great light." A BAD VOLCANO Java, an island in the Dutch Last Indies, has had a volcanic eruption that cost -10,000 lives and destroyed 20,000 acres of rice and other crop. , the hot ashes and hot mud doing millions of dollars damage. .lava has a population equal to th it of New York, Ohio, I'enn ylvama, Illinois and Texas. It has over 100 vuitanui^ ri 11 ami me eruptions occur quite often, but not with urli destruction as the lost one. LOS ANGELES DEMOCRATIC Just before the recent election in Los Angeles, California, for mayor. Senator Smoot and Senator Lodge sent telegrams to the manager of the Republican candidate's campaign in which they requested that every Re publican support the Republican candidate for mayor in the coming city election. "Don't let this administration point to Los Ant?eleg as a Democratic city a year hence when the national campaign is on. The nation is Republican. We hope Los Angeles will be." What happened? The city that had been in the Republican column turned right around and in tin- face of Senators Lodge and Smoot, elected a Democratic mayor. Here are cotton export figures that are interesting, especially to the rot ton fanner. Before the late war our exports of cotton amounted to an average of hales. In lit IK the shipment fell to l,t>4 1,000*bales. With the war ended and Kurope it> great need our exports for the next year or two should he enormous ami prices in proportion. Notwithstanding the severe criticism of Postmaster (Jeneral Burleson "his last report shows a surplus instead of a deficit. The postoflice department has been run at a yearly loss prior to Mr. Burleson's time. ' t MimiHi'e MCBEK COMES UP SMILING .WITH A TOBACCO WAREHOUSE ' , ' Not having a tobacco warehouse at McBee and badly needing one a number of farmers and merchants as well as several other citizens, called a meeting, organized a company and built one. As many of the county's prominent tobacco growers are financially interested in this warehouse it stands to reason that the farmers will give it the preference, when it conies to sellj ing their crops, and it seems reasonI able to expect that such an arrange mont would guarantee fair dealing and honest efforts on the part of the ; management to get the highest price i for the S(? Hers. 1 Messrs J. A. IVtree anil C. M. Jones I two men of many years experience 1 in all branches of the tobaeco hosii ness have taken over the management : of the warehouse. Mr. I'etree comes to Mcltee from Winston Salem, N. C., and Mr. Jones is from Walnut (love, in the same state. Both men come to South Carolina well recommended, as to honesty, reliability and efficiency. They have secured Mr. Joe Hayniori, of Winston Salem, as auctioneer. Mr. llaymore has a great reputation and should ktiow about all there is to si lling tobacco as he has done nothing else for thirty ne iuui> ii win i ma .wt?uiitain, N. C. Buyers' representatives have made arrangements to he on hand from many points and will reina'n Until the output has heen bou-dit up. Thel opening oeeured Wednesday of this week and was well attended. COUNTY AGENTS WILL HELP SHIP HOGS TO MARKET The farmers of Chesterfield County who expect to sell hops, whether one pip or a carload, should at once till out the cards that have been sent them by the Extension Forces of the Department of Agriculture. By so dump now they will facilitate s-h nnumt to market when ready to ship. The questional^' that has heen sent out inquires as to the number of brood sows each farmer keeps. It is also necessary that the department he informed as to whether a pure bred boar is kept and, if so, what breed,us well as the number of hops weiphinp over 1 .TO pounds will he ready for market about October and how manv durinp the wub.-r These* questions have not heen asked as a matter of curiosty, nor for the purpose of taxation; hut that the farmer may he helped in disposing of his swine to the best advantage and with no cost for the service. A number of hop raisers have failed to answer these questions and seem to repard [ the efforts of the Agricultural Department with suspicion. The reason for this attitude is beyond comprehension. If any one in Chesterfield County has been misinformed or is not fullv en 11 hti'iied io :lii< mutter Mr Til lor will he only too ylnd to yivc full informuiion onthe sunject. Olio of the yrcatest drawbacks to the swine industry in South Carolina in tin- past has been tin- problem of marketing. Many farmers with a few surplus animals for sale have found i it almost impossible to dispose of them and are d iseouaryed and feel that there is no market for their hoys or future for the business. This is a mistake, for there art: a numlx r of the best markets in the I'nitod States to winch we can ship, and prices are hitch as any time in the history of the country. However, to realize the greatest net returns it is necessary to ship in carload lots which few farmers in this section are prepared to do. To relieve this condition a number of the County Ascents in the stile have adopted the plan of cooperative -hippiny when- a la rye number of farmers with one or more hoys yet to top*.ther and ship a carload. Those shipping ha.e realized three to four ca nts above the price on their local mar. els. This method has been so very .-imeessful that Mr. Tiller is hopiny and planning to make a number of -liipmei t s next, fail and winter. If? wishes to show the practicabiii'y of I the pi.in, the value of cooperation and 'the profit which the swine husine-I . hold.-, out to tho (ihcstoriield farmer. To help him in this pl;in he needs to i.now the names of those < specling to have urplus stock for sate together with the approximate nwinher of head. Mr. Tiilep n quests any one who ex| peet to have one or more hogs for ale this fall or winter to lill out and mail the earl thai his heen s at out i rom the Itepartment ?>f Agriculture. II the card has not been received by any one it wou'd he well to communicate u ith .Mr. Tiller.
