Editor The Advertiser:

Editor The Advertiser:
Why should the farmers of thc conn
tie" OF Anderson, Oconce, Union, New
berry. Cherokee, York, Chester Fair
iield, Marlboro and Darlington be able
to get insurance on their dwelling and
tenant houses at an annual cost vary
ing generally from 25c to about SOC
per Sl00 Of insurance a year and in
the two counties Of Abbcyillc and
Greenwood at an annual cost of soc
year per SlOO insurance, and the
farmers in the other counties OF the
state be unable to get insurance for
less than $l,20 per 500 insurance a
year?
The answer is that in those coun-
ties the farmers have organized mu-
tual insurance companies Of their own
and have been carrying insurance in
these companies for the last Is or 20
years at the cost indicated.
At the present time the amounts of
insurance carried by these various
companies in the counties named arc
about as follows:
Abbevillc-Grcenwood Mutual ms.

CARE SHOULD BE USED
IN SELECTING SEED

Department Of Agriculture Warns
Southern Farmers Against Selection
OF Any and Every Seed.
Of their market
washington, ID. c., March 13.-The
department Of agriculture, on April
y, 1914, and again on March 2, 1915,
issued warnings to farmers of the
Southwest against planting varieties
or cotton that usually produce a sta
pie or less than seven-c -cighths inch in
length, especially such varieties as
are said TO produce half seed and half
lint In view of the approaching
painting season, the department wish
cs 10 reiteratc these warnings for the
benefit of the entire cotton belt. The
producers of cotton, for their own
welfare, should heed this advice. and
should exercise iudicious care in the
selection of planting seed.
Cotton Of less than sevcn-cighths
men staple is of approximately the
same spinning value as the bulk of the
cotton OIL India. On economic prin-
ciples. the American product should
DC maintained Oil higher lever of
intrinsic worth than that of India in
order that the American crop NAV NOT
DC lorccd TO compete in the markets of
the world with the cotton of India.
Cotton of less than seven -eighths
inch staple is inferior to the average
American quality, and localities that
producc such cotton in appreciabe
quantities soon establish rcputations
for an inferior product. The price
of all cotton in such markets will suf
fer on account of the poor reputation
of them market.
Competent cotton buyers discrimin-
ate against extremely short staple
whenever such cotton is discovered
they should be equally careful to dis
crlminate in favor OF cotton of good
staple. The farmer who produces in
ierior cotton is likely to find that his
product brings a price materially low
! CT than quotations would Indicate as
/ us true value. The seller commonly
looks upon such discrimination as a
penalty, while the buyer considers
tnat he is paying the full value for an
inferior commodity.
AS the variety of seed planted is
inc primary factor in determining
length OF staple, and as there are
early maturing prolific varieties which
produce staple Of least an inch in
length, no farmer .or community is
justified in planting an inferior vari-
ETY., or in expecting the full market
price for debased article of com

Women Teachers Have Good Reason
For Dreading tuberculosis.
That teachers are especially prone to
tuberculosis Is the statement made by
the bureau OF educational hygiene of
the city OF New York. This department
says that this disease ia 20 per cent
more prevalent among teachers than
among others Of corresponding sex and
age and that about half of all deaths
among women teachers is caused by
tuberculosis, and this In spite of the
fact that teachers belong to a better
hygienic grade than the general aver

Strenuous, nerve taxing work that
causes physical exhaustion and nerve
breakdown is given as the main cause
Terman states that -four hours of &C
tnal teaching represent about eight
hours OF ordinary Office work" What
Is probably the second cause Is lack
of sufficient rest and regular exercise
in the open air.
Speaking along this line, the state
board of health says: "The wan, tired
look that usually marks the teacher,
especially about the close of school, is
too often a condition of serious conse-
Quence. It may be just tired, rum

the board, land as quickly as possible

gains her usual state of health and
vigor she subjects herself to an open
risk against tuberculosis as well as to
other diseases.
What the wise teacher will do is
to avoid overwork and nervous strain

MADE A POOR GUESS

The Chinese General Know Moro Than
Did the TIhetan Buddha.
At the entrance Of the lamasery at
Kumbum are eight large monuments,
which contain the ashes Of eight
Buddhas. Long years ago, at the be-
ginning Of the Ming dynasty, after
hard fighting the Tibetans were driven
back from Chinese territory, which
they had overTun for hundreds Of
miles When the victorious Chinese
general reached Kumbum he sent for
these eight Buddhas and said to them:
You can read the future. Can you
tell me when You are going to die2'
One Of them shrewd enough to under
stand the generals mind, said, 'aTo-
morrow" NO." said the general; sit
will be today" And it was.
Quite a number Of temples and
buildings make up the lamasery. The
chief temple, which is dedicated to
Tsong Kaba, the great reformer OF
Tfbetan Buddhism, has roof Of gold,
var1ously conjectured as being from
one-eighth of an inch to half an inch
thick. Inside is a large image of
Tsong Kaba, said by some to be OF
gold, but it is probably overlaid with
gold The temple threshold is covered
with planks, and we saw many poor
deluded people prostrating themselves
in worship there. Around the main
building are many large prayer wheels
which are kept well on the turn by the
devotees to obtain merit = Christian

HANDS FELT LIKE

Miss Mary ]. Pickell Relates
Improvement in Condition;
Praises Tanlac.

Men and women in every walk of life
are now expressing their gratitude to-
ward Tanlac, the premier preparation
which is being introduced at the East
Side Pharmacy in Mount Holly. Miss
Mary ]. Pickell, who resides at $50 E..
State street, Trenton, has this to say of
the Master Medicine:
''For some time past have suffered
from indigestion, which, although it
didn't cause much pain, was annoying
In the extreme. Its worst effect ON me
was an overpowering weakness and a
sick feeling after meals. I sometimes
felt like my food was rolling around in
side me just after eating.
''My circulation was very poor. indeed
Every morning my hands would feel
like they were dead, all numb and life
less. Tan1ac was recommended to me
by friend. 1 hadn't much faith in it
at first, but the improvement it has
brought has entirely changed my views.
although haven't finished my first
bottle, my food digests much
better. no longer have that sick feel
ing after meals and am gaining strength
daily. The way it has improved my cir
culation is wonderful; my hands aren't
numb in the mornings. I just want to
pass the good news about Tanlac to
Others
Tanlac is being specially introduced
in Mount Holly by George H. Kille, at
his East Side Pharmacy.

The Trade WInda

The constancy Of trade winds is due
to the permanence Of the conditions
which rule them. As the heated air at
the equator ascends surface winds set
in from north and south and. uniting,
ascend In their turn and flow of In
opposite directions. AS the velocity Of
the earth's revolution from east to
west is much greater at the equator
than at the poles, wind blowing along
its surface to the equator is constantly
arriving at places which have higher
velocity than itself; hence it is retard-
ed and must lag behind, and under the
influence Of two opposing forces it ID
compelled to take an intermediate d.
rectton, so that what was originally a
north wind Is DETECTED and flows
southwest, while what started as o
south wind becomes northwest. From
the great service they have rendered
to navigation these reliable winds are
called trade winds.

Canning, preserving and picking en-
able any farm family to double the
price which it would otherwise obtain
for such things as sweet corn, peas,
cucumbers, onions, peppers, berries,
currants, plums, cherries and a dozen
similar commodities. This plan en-
ables one to charge full retail prices
and so make the farm return high
profits.
Nearly all farmers know how to pro-
duce crops, but few of them are skill
full at selling. This is the main diff
ference between the Budlong success
and the many failures which have been
recorded. Mr.. Budlong himself says
that, as general thing. he does not
get better crops than other people. The
Land he uses is not as good as the av-
erage Cook county soil, but he buys
many carloads Of manure from the
city and keeps the ground In a fine
state Of fertility. The fertilizer Is
plowed In every fall. Sometimes he
has green crops, like peas. soy beans
or clover, to work into the soil in the
fall. There Is a scientific reason for
handling land In this way, especially
the blowing in Of an abundance of sta

land although they frequently neglect

While 1t is true that Mr.. Budlong IT.
rigates his farm by pumping water
from the drainage canal, he does not
attribute his success to this control of
the water supply, for be was success
full long before the drainage canal was
built In brief terms, his first step
toward success was the upbuilding
Of soil fertility, and then when the big
crops came he made his own market
for the bulk Of the products, getting
all cash that was possible to obtain
from the commodities raised. He keeps
close records Of all crops and knows
exactly what any given line of produce
costs him. He can tell what proper
ton of the expense each acre should
bear, what the labor is worth and what
dividends aye paid by each particular
unit of land every season. From long
experience he knows that diversity of
production is better than to risk every
thing on single crop. 1t is probably
true that If the whole enterprise hung
on one product his success would be
much less pronounced than it Is.
