SOMETHING NEW--AND OLD

The war in Europe is causing peo-
pie to think. Heretofore newspapers
have urged rotation of crops. Glenn
con college bSs taught liberalization
and the farm demonstration agents
have talked boil weevil and the need
OF leguminous crops. Some farmers
have been wise unto their generation,
but others have pursued their stub
born way, "And as for tnthracnose,
there amt no sich," is just about the
way some have expressed their feel
ings. 4
But this war has put people to
thinking In o new way. They are
more ready to give heed to the warn
ing and appeals OF men who know.
The cry OF cutting the cotton acreage
In half Is meeting with favor now
In some sections and the legislatures
of Southern states ere being besieged
with appeals to put this plan into ef-
feet.
And yet as old Editor Solomon once
"AosS, ehSie 10 notuiuB new unQef
the SUM-" We think or the rotation
of crops as something new. and some
farmers through Incidence or other
cause seek to excuse their lack of
thrift by being suspicious OF and ac-
tualiy scoffing at experiment station
ideas. These might be surprised to
learn that the plan OF rotating has
been practiced scientifically and
with success in South Carolina for
a hundred years. ~ ,4s.,..,
Our agricultural schools are doing
o great work to educate our people.
but the principles which they teach
are. after all, but bringing the faraa-
er face to face with things that have
been tried and have been proved a
success for many years.
IN Tonmsy's Geology OF sca.b
Carolina" published in Columbia in
1s4S by A. Sidney Johnston, this
statement is made on Page a43:
The Anderson daily intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson, S.C.) 1914-1915, 1914-09-16

the question to be settled is what to
do with the expected surplus of the
1915 crop.
The size Of the crop would in it.
self affect seriously the price of cot
ton downward. But with the for
eign countries likely TO be several
million bales short In their takings.
the probability is that the surplus of
the present crop-over and above the
normal surplus-will be at least four
million bales.
The paramount question Is not
what to do with cotton thrown upon
the market. but what TO do with the
surplus. The situation is taxing the
best thought of the South.
Mr.. Mauldin's reasoning is t.lat
sporadic efforts to boost" the price
Will be useless unless that surplus is
provided for. Because when that sur.
plus Is thrown upon the market, It
Will put the price down to at least
i've cents. BY getting rid of the sur
plus, storing 1t for year. the cotton
mills will not be injured nor will
the grower suffer. For the price of
cotton will be given stability, perma.
nency and definfteness and mills and
producer alike, will have some basis
for dealings.
The plan which SiT. Mauidin pro-
poses will relieve the banking houses
OF the strain which will become al
most too heavy for their resources
next year when planting time comes.
The state can borrow the money and
handle the situation, can save the day
In fact, and can make the crop of
this year Toith something. And
eventually the state will never lose
cent.
II that 100000 bale surplus Is not
taken care of, it will be a constant
menace. 1t Is not wise to be calling
upon the legislature to take up the
people as babies. Paternalism can
become Offensive and burdensome.
But this is no ordinary misfortune
1t is well nigh disaster that is uni
versal.
When child Is Ill sometimes It is
well to take 1t off of a heavy diet.
When country is Suffering with
crop which 1t cannot digest, the thing
10 do Is to give 1t change Of diet.
1t Is recognized as a self-evfdent
fact that the cotton crop must be cut
In half next year. But even then
there must be money for planting and
1t Is out OF the financing Of the sur
plus of today that Mr.. Mauldin would
ma way to keep the South from
suffering.
There may be details which would
make his plan impossible of accom-
plishment but the fact remains that
II the Southern States will agree at
once upon this or some other plan,
the details will be shaped to fit the
conditions.

NO EXTENSION NEEDED.

With reference to the extra session
of the legislature extending the time
for the paying of taxes, there Is one
point that is worth considering. The
legislature has never yet failed to pro-
vide some relief measures for the dis
tressed or for the poor who have
trouble In meeting their taxes. But
the bulk Of the tax money coming into
the state treasury before the lat OF
January comes from the corporations.
Let US take Anderson county for in
stance. As shown in the report OF the
comptroller general for 1913, the total
amount of taxes paid in this county
amounted to s2S5,0OO. OF this amount
the banks paid slS,037. the cotton
mills, oil mills and fertilizer mills
paid $74.600 and the railroads and
telephone and telegraph companies
paid $4,000, or a total from corpora
tions Of 1887. Leaving $17s,S63 paid
by the individuals. AS there were
something like $4,000 individual tax
payers, the per capita was but $40 on
an average.
However, as the property in towns
and cities Is assessed higher than In
rural communities. IL is likely that
the average per capita tax paid in
Anderson county Is lesa thans SIS per
annum. 5S
Evidently there Is little to be gained
by extending the time. The corpora
tions woala appreciate It. inr Il Woul6
save them the interest on their money

CONVERT SURPLUS INTO CASH

The plan for financing the cotton
crop which Is submitted by b. F.
Mauldin, president OF the Bank of
Anderson, is one of the most interest
ing yet offered. Mr.. Mauldin does
not claim that 1t will be flawless,
and he does not claim that it will do
better than some others yet to be de-
vised
But. looking at the matter from
successful financier's point OF
view. he does feel that 1t will do
more than bring relief and remedy
He thinks that 1t offers CURE.
The problem is to handle the sur.
plus cotton Of this seusOm. II this sur
plus is not financed properly, and II
the acreage Is not reduced next year
the result will be another year OF
starvation prices on cotton. The is
sue must be faced. and Mr.. Mauldin
thinks that TO evade 1t or postpone
1t for another year is merely to pile
up trouble.
1t Is Mr.. Mauldin's intention II
this proposition meets with sufficient
favor from the thinking men OF the
state. to go tn New York and lay
1t before the financial heads there
The money may not be readily avail
able, but he believes that It can be
obtained upon such security ss he
would suggest. At any rate Chica-
go should soon have great deal OF
money as the grain crops will be O,
the move as soon as 1t eau find a way
to get to Europe.
The conditions now are unprece-
dented and call for titanic remedies
The immensity of the proposition is
almost staggering. but also is the cri-
sis insIstent and vast in It's reaches
1t will require something like s24,-
100000 for South Carolina alone to
handle her crop.
The surplus cotton crop of South
Carolina for the year will be half q
million bales. If ,ntire surplus
crop OF the south could be thrown
away. it would yet leave sufficient
amount OF cotton to operate the spin
dies and otherwise to meet the de-
mand for q year.
This demand Is curtailed, with re-
spect to other years, because of the
idle spindles in Germany. in Belgium
and In other countries where Ameri-
can cotton is woven Il Is true that
laws placing restrictions upon labor
have been anulled and women and
children are trying to keep the mills
actively at work. but the further ques.
ton arises that. with the present en-
barge On shipping, certain foreign
countries will be without cotton-per-
haps for months.
The normal surplus of 1900, ,O00
bales came over from last year, and
the present crop of 100000 bales
will exceed expectations by 1885,
600 bales. As Mr.. Mauldin says,
