Summarize of Crop Conditions
With The Prospects Outlined
For The New Yeldof 1916

A careful study of the situation for
4 the past week or since the last govern
ment report was issued on the crop
conditions we are convinced that the
report was really better than the con-
ditions would warrant. When we take
into consideration the fact that this
report was made so soon after the re-
cent rains and floods, it is very easily
understood how this could be.
People are prone to put the best side
'front.' to make things look better than
they really are, and those people who
make the reports on the crop condi-
tons in their respective localities are
no exception to this rule. The govern
ment Investigators approached them at
a time when they were excited over
the conditions, and they reported with
out due and careful consideration of
the matter in hand. with the result that
the hopes of the country have been
buoyed up over the the prospects of an
average crop, that is in comparison
with thee rop of 1915.
Right here in this particular section
it is pretty generally conceded that the
loss to the cotton crop on account of
the recent and continuous heavy rains,

however, is a mere bagatelle, as COM
pared with the loss in some other Sec
lions, and even in some of our nearby
counties the loss from the rains alone
will not be over 20 per cent. This
is estimated at fully so per cent, to
say nothing Of the ravages of the boil
weevil. In some sections where both
tie boil weevil and the floods have been
at work the loss will be great.
The past week in this particular
sections weather conditions have been
most favorable. The sun has been
shining for most of the time. and the
farmers have taken advantage of it by
putting the finishing touches to their
crops in the blowing, and killing the
grass where possible. But. notwith-
standing they have been as careful as
possible in this final cultivation to do
Sc in such way as would not cause
the cotton to shed its fruit. Reports
reach us, however, that in most in
stances where blowing has been done
al all since the rain that cotton is
shedding considerably. Such as this
however, if the seasons are favorable
from now on may put on a top crop,
which in a great measure will make
up for the reduced primary yield.
But, as a rule, the second crop can
never be depended upon with any de-
gree of certainty.
From all over the state come glow.
ing accounts of the corn crop. Opin-
ion has it that thee rop as whole was
never better in the state. and especial
ly is this true of this section. We were
told by a farmer the other day that
Sumter county would produce more
corn this year than ever in her his
tory, land the beauty about it," con-
tinued this farmer, we have plenty Of
hogs and cattle to consume all that
we make. Hereafter the farmers Of
this section. at least, are going to live
at home and board at the same place.
There is every prospect for an abun.
dant crop of peas, peanuts, sweet po-
tatoes, velvet and soy beans. The
acreage planted to these products this
year is more than ever before so We
are reliably informed. We are also
told that an immense quantity of hay
has been saved by the farmers.
There is always the sweet with the
hitter, and this will prove true with
the farmer this year, so far as the
short crop of cotton is concerned, in
that he is going to get for his cotton
a good price, by way of compensation
for the short crop.
From all over the South Atlantic
states the reports are very discourag-
ing, and the result has been that cot
ton has reached another and new high
record, it being quoted at 1896, the
highest price for the staple in six
years.
The present high prices that are pre-
vailing for cotton is giving much en-
cCuragement to the holders Of the bal
ance on hand of the 1915 crop, and by
those who will be shortly marketing
the new. With the tendency is going
to be to hold ON to the crop as long as
possible by the farmer, and in this he
should be helped and encouraged by
the banker and business man. for the
better price he gets for his cotton the
better able he will be to meet the obli-
cations he has incurred with the
banker and the merchant.

CARE Of THE TEETH
IS DR.. PARKS TOPIC

NAoouOu ny StdlS bOdfu Oh Health .
written by Emory R. Park, M. d.
1T is better to take pains than to
have pains take you" One of the best
ways to avoid pain is to keep the
teeth clean. Tooth brushes are cheau
and water in most places is free, and
by using them many aches and pains
can be avoided and much money can
be saved that would otherwise be
spent for dental repairs, doctors bills
and drug store supplies.
Pure food laws and inspectors have
done much in the way of eliminating
impure foods from the market, but
pure foods at once become impure, if
chewed with dirty teeth.
The enamel covering of tooth is
hard, but rather brittle; therefore.
PEOPLE should not pick their teeth with
u knife, with pins or other metal sub
stances, or crack nuts or bite other
hard objects, as such practices are apt
to crack the enamel and permit germs
to get in their dirty work.
Much good can be done by brushing
the teeth before going to bead and
after breakfast. They should be
washed after every meal just as the
dishes are. It is a good plan to have
& dentist look over the teeth every
six months. In this way small holes
will be discovered and can be filled
before much of the tooth is destroyed
and before toothache and assesses be-
gin. 1t is also less expensive and less
painful to have as mall hole filled.
Children's first teeth should be cared
for the same as the teeth of adults;
otherwise the second set is apt to
come in crooked. Decayed teeth in
children and in adults frequently lead
tc indigestion, because the food can
Lot be ground up properly, but is
swallowed in indigestible Jumps; and.
Also. the food being mixed with count
less germs in the mouth, will ferment
and sour in the stomach and intes-
tines. This leads to poor nutrition.
which leads to weakness, which in
turn pre-disposes to many diseases.
A tooth should not be pulled out, if
doing so can be avoided, for not only
will its grinding surface be lost, but
part of the surface of the two teeth
that oppose it will be lost also. 1t is
marvellous what dentists can. do in
the way of Strengthening crooked
teeth and putting them in line. By
having them properly lined up the ap-
pearance of the face and mouth are
greatly improved, and the total masti-
eating surface is increased.
Babies should be prohibited from
sucking their thumbs, and if older
children have adenoids, such growths
should be removed. Thumb sucking
and adenoids cause designation of the
arches of the mouth and cause the
teeth to come in out of line.

Exorbitant Hotel Rates

Carl G. Fisher, president of the Indianapolis
Speedway, is waging war on the hotel men OF
that city who charge exorbitant rates during the
races Fisher is pretty far sighted business
man and knows that the other speedway courses
recently opened in the Middle West are giving
the indianapolis event stiff competition. Follow
ers of the sport will go to the cities where they
are accorded the best treatment. If Indianapolis
hotel men persist in driving the harpoon into
persons who attend the races there, they will go
to the cities where hotel men have sense enough
to appreciate the worth of the patronage by
keeping their rates normal. It was recently
pointed out in full page advertisement in the
Indianapolis newspapers that that city cannot
outgrow it's small town reputation if it keeps up
a narrow gauge policy and makes itself an object
of ridicule and scorn throughout the country.
The Speedway is one of the best forms of adver-
tisement Indianapolis has, and if it loses the race
