producing the same values.
Charles L. Parker, a business man of
Triton and a farmer on large scale,
spoke on the subject of farming and stock
raising for profit. He said he will raise
100 bushels of corr-to the acre on 70 acres
this year and that he will fatten from 800
to 1000 head of cattle and several hun
bred hogs. He said he is using heavy
horses in his blowing and Is going 10
inches deep and stirring up the sub-soil
for the purpose He said also that he is
going just as deep for his cotton, and
proposes to show a bale or more to the
acre on rs acres. On his cotton land this
year he has already begun work by turn
ing under all the cotton stalk left from
last year.
J. D. Cook, another prominent farmer
of Chula, this county. made a statement
Of his methods and how he produced 5000
pounds of pork. has 80 live hogs. ISL
bales of cotton, LOO bushels of corn and
quantities of forage, cane and vegetables

says. as did the other speakers. that the
farmers, to get more values per acre must

and crop best suited to his land, and then
during the growing season must not be

MILLS Of THE SOUTH
MUST CHANGE PLAN
OF CHINA SHIPMENTS
President of international In
stitute of China Tells How
Cotton Goods Must Be Sent
to Orient Markets

CHARLOTTE. N. c., Jan. 16.-Dr. Gill
bert Reid, president of the international
Institute of China. who has spent many
years in that country and studied trads
conditions closely. is of the opinion thaA
in order for southern mills to eempete
successfully for cotton goods trade in
China they must organize a plan to ship
their goods direct.
Addressing Columbia, S. c.. audience
he had the following to say relative to
proper means for opening up trade rela~
tons with China by southern mills:
TRADE HAS IMPROVED.
Trade in piece goods in China has inn
proved a great deal during recent years.
but American exports to China have fall
len off. 1 am much impressed with the
opportunities offered manufacturers OF
the south, and particularly those OF
South Carolina, for building up a large
trade in China. The port at Charleston
Is the greatest on the Atlantic between
Norfolk and New Orleans and the near
est American port to the Panama canals
] am Informed.
why don't South Carolina nanufac-
turers combine their efforts, ship to
Charleston, and thence via the Panama
canal to China? 1t is, / repeat. the only
way for American goods to meet Eng
lish German and japanese competition.
yet undersells US IN the finished product.
which Is of an inferior grade Here is
the reason: Your cotton is manufac-
tured in South Carolina and shipped to
commission men In New York; by these
factors it is turned over to the Chinese
firms, or Americans in New York, who
deal exclusively in Chinese exports and
imports; the China firm turns the cotton
over to eompradores, who are natives OF
China engaged in business in New York.
THE compradores ship the fabric to
Shanghai. where the Chinese firms dis
pose of it to the Chinese merchants in
other cities.
CUT OUT THE HAULS.
why not cut out the excess and un~
necessary haul? Why not cut out the
commission men, compradores and New
York Chinese merchants, each with his
portion to take out of the profits? When
the day comes that cotton mills OF the
south can ship direct to China by
Charleston and Panama, thus eliminating
wear and tear and loss I'm com missionss
then the mills can save enough to fol-
low the example the Dukes, Of North
Carolina Those enterprising men put
their agents in all parts of China and
now the American-made cigarettes are
sold there almost as generally as in this
country. What the Dukes have done for
American tobacco the southern cotton
mills can do for the one American agri-
sultural product of Wei gwEle se.Sh

OF the world"
