: . . _ IV The Chesterfield Advertiser Paul H. and Fred G. Ilearn Editors I 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. Noting that a hog had recently sold in Iowa for $40,000, a Georgia editor suggested that the last breakfast lmcan he bought must have come from that hog. TWO VIEWS OF THE FARMER Dr. Bailey of Cornell University, mad not be a prophet or the son of a prophet, but he has a vision of the fu tun.' tha is encouraging to the tiller of the soil. A professor in Cornell University ought to know all about, corn and corn raising as well as cotton. lie says: "The coming generation will see the ri>e of the farmer. "The farmer holds to the personal ownership of property. He is never out of employment, lie is a solitary man rather than gregarious. He is primarily a producer and his income is a consequence of his own application. He follows a natural day. He is conservative because nature is conservative. He is responsible for his materials from seed time unto har vest. iii' is not a want- earner; ne works for himself." The learned doctor might have added tnat the farmer not only works for himself but for everybody. Without the work of the farmer the lawyer, the doctor, the merchant and the great army of overall wearers the world over would starve. But here comes a farmer who is not in accord with the rosy views of Dr. Bailey, lie writes to his local paper. "My experience teaches me that the only slave on the farm is the owner, who as a rule goes to work at ti and Vorks until 7 at night, working twelve hours, while the hired man begins at 7 and quits at (5, working ten hours. The hired man has his three meals a day and no one to question how much he may eat; he knows how much money he is to get for his labor and he gets it. But the owner knows not what he is to get." The practiced editor, who is somewhat of slave himself administers a mild rebuke to this writer, thus: "The truth of the matter is, every body has every reason in the world to be happy and fuel thankful and fortunate; and if the facts were known, the most persistent heelers and loudest complainers were never in such hijrh estate nor making so much money? never before in their lives?than they are today. So we who think, or pretend to think, we are "slaves"?whether we are employers, employees, landlords or tenants?are "slaves" only insofar as we enslave ourselves with discontent and delusions, and to the extent to which we fortfe our own chains. When William Howard Taft was asked if im mitfht be the "dark horse" at the Chicuiro convention he replied: "No indeed, I am no dark horse, bay horse, dappled jrray horse or calico hor-e. | am nobody's Dobbin." "TIME AND A HALF" OVERALLS The Textile Mullet in i- not enthused over the overall fad. The editor of that practical journal remarks that if he could draw tin- same wajjes as the regular wearer of overalls he would have a pair befort nifrht lie makes this st a 11-m < 111 * Tho lailroiid arc 'It1 iiiciimi iny .? i i hi" rs ni)ur> wotk and brick masons in sonic sort ions arc forcing people to ilo without homos or pay them $I2.">0 per day. The man in the overalls wants time and a half for every hour he works over eight hours, whereas the lawyer, tne doctor asd the merchant has to work overtime in order to tret enougt to live on. Overalls, according? to this editor, may cover a multitude of profiteers. I UN IN CONGRESS When a bill was introduced in Congress by Mr. Good, of Iowa, to appropri ite $210,000 to add rooms and a new roof to a building for the Treasury Department Congressman I Blanton, of Texas, wanted to know why the roof could not he patched, adding that he had to patch his pants, end by patching the roof it could be made to last another year. Mr. Good replied that they had patched the roof before Mr. Blanton had patched his pants, and now they needed a new roof. Perhaps Mr. Blanton decided he needed a new pair of pants as he Withdrew hi* objection. PRINT PAPER FROM ALASKA Sometime ago the Advertiser stated that Alasku would prove to be something more than an ice house for Uncle Sam. There have been a number of developments'in that country that prove our contention true. Here is the latest. Mr. Meredith, our new Secretary of Agriculture says: "Alaska is destined to become a second Norway, with her enormous forests of rapidly growing species suitable for pulp, her water power and her tide water shipment of manufactured products, Alaska will undoubtedly become one of the principal paper sources of the United States. A substantial development of the paper industry in this wonderful region, combined with the intelligent reforestation of pulp lands in the older regions, should settle forever the question of a paper shortage in the United States." POPULATION DRIFT TOWARD THE CITIES "Where are all the people coming from?" is a question frequently heard in our cities. Almost every town in the country, from the largest to the smallest is experiencing an acute shortage of houses. In places where three or four years ago a large percentage of the houses were vacant, a place to live can now hardly he had for love or money. Preliminary census figures are showing heavy gains in populations for many of our cities during the past ten years. Figures fov- the rural districts have not yet beiji gives out, but we would not be surprised to see decreases in many farmtfig sections. These *^ts to us indicate one thing in particular, and that is that the farming business must be made more attractive if people are to remain on the farms and production maintained or increased. The farmer trills til town milililir luiouliu.i \uuirac "'"""J " "h in town art* bettor than he can make farming, and so long as this is true wo may expect the drift from country to city to continue, with decreased farm production following in consequence. Prices of farm products are high, of course, when compared with prewar prices; but when compared with other commodity prices they are not high. Railing at tne farmer as a profiteer will get the city consumer nowhere. In fact, any effort that unduly lowers the prices farmers receive for products is bound in the end to put prices higher than ever; because if the bussiness of farming is made unprofitable enough farmers will quit or so reduce production that the demand will automatically force prices up. The country and the world need more food and clothing, but to get them a fair price to the farmer?a price that will insure him a wage in line with what urban workers receive.? will be necessary?The Progressive Farmer. FARM FACTS From Here and There in South Carolina Florence County is to have a $50,000 company to establish a chain ol weet potato curinjc and storage houses, and to conduct a pedigreed seed business in conjuetion therewith.

' A SECOND APPLICATION OF FERTILIZER All fertilizer manufacturers and i dealers report that the movement of i . ! t'lk'or:. and fertilizer materials] is several weeks behind the usual I schedule. Not only have strikes and 1 other causes delayed the getting of raw .materials by manufacturers and mixer-, but the railroads have not i moved shipments with the necessary .'promptness asd rapidity. The facto-; ; ries are three to five weeks behind ' i with their orders, due to car short- ! I"'1^'- . .

Cottonseed meal, tankage and like materials which have in past been largely used to supply nitrogen are such valuable feeding stuffs that their prices have become almost prohibitive of their u^e as fertilizer. Sulphate of ammonia, a by-product of coke ovens, : , is less abundant because of coal I I jtrikes and lack of transportation. ! Nitrate of soda has not been brought j from South America in sufficient i quantities because of a Tack of ship ping facilities. The supplies of acid I phosphate have been lessened also by strikes, lack of transportation and in- 1 ^ ability to procure necessary materi- di als for its manufacture. And potash ^ has neither been produced in this ( country nor brought from France and y? Germany to meet demands. In short, co the demand is greater than usual, 1 ?' ac the supplies available being less than the demands and the railroads have ^ not been able to move the products (jj rapidly enough to meet the require- ? ments of the trade. The results are that many believe p( that it will not be possible for the far- ' w mers of the South to obtain their aj fertilizers in time to put out the full j p, amounts which they want to use at m the time of or before planting the c8 crops. As evidence accumulates, it tends j m to show that the best time to apply th fertilizers is at the time of or be- pi fore planting the crops. That is, when all things are considered it is sil doubtful if a given amount of fer- th CONSTIPATION j: I b< And Sour Stomach Caused This oi Lady Much Suffering.
