David R. COktr Issues Statement

David r. Coker, of Hartsville,
Chairman of the State Defense Coun-
ell, has issued the following statement
to the people of South Carolina:
"rhe State Council of Defense wish
es to call attention to several features
on the present and prospective situa-
ton which seems to call for thought
full consideration by all of the peo-
pie Of the State, but especially by
the farmers.
Tremendous advances have recent
ly taken place in fertilizer materials
and especially ammoniates. Tankage,
cotton seed meal and Dried Blood are
already so high that it is doubtful
whether they can be profitably used
as fertilizinf materials. This is be-
cause these materials are more and
more being used as food for live
stock, being substituted to some ex-
tent for corn, wheat bran and other
materials which can be used for hui
man food. Sulphate of Ammonia,
which has been largely used for fer
tilizers, is almost entirely off of the
market, being required by the govern
ment for the manufacture Of muni-
tions. 1t is altogether probable that

Argentine Wants Reply to Note De-

Buenos Ayres, July 16.-Argentina
has instructed her minister in Berlin
to demand of the German Government
an answer to the Argentine note call
ing for satisfaction for the torpedoing
of the Argentine steamer Toroan and
the promise to cease attacks on Ar
gentine ships.
Pending the receipt of this reply,
diplomatic relations between the two
governments remain on their former
basis, but rupture is considered i'm
mnent, the general opinion that Ger

NEW YORK GUARDS GATHER
Assembling Preparatory to Entering
Federal Service.

: New York, July 16--New York
took on war-like appearance today
when $4,000 members of the National
Guard assembled at the various ar
mories to mobilize here preparatory
to entering the Federal service Aug
ust 5.
All the units in the greater city
are said to be at or over full war
strength.
The Fifteenth regiment, composed
of negroes, was the first to leave the
city for Camp Whitman at Beekman,
there to await the call to move south

conduct it as a unit in the French

i next spring the average farmer will
be unable to buy any. source of am
monia except Nitrate Of Soda, which
is now nearing $4,000 per ton with
a possible further advance. There is
no certainty that even this material
can be obtained in adequate quanti-
ties as it is also used largely in
munitions of war.
This situation seems to call for the
planting of every acre Of stubble land
and all vacant corn middles to cow
peas which is the only available le-
gume for planting at this season.
Later on (September 18th to October
15th) it will be advisable to plant
cover crops in all of the cotton.
The farmer who understands the
situation now and takes all possible
steps to meet it in advance may be
able to carry on his operations next
year without contracting fertilizer
bills SO heavy as to endanger his
profits. The farmer who stakes no
thought for the morrow" will be in
a very different position and may
face situation next spring out Of
which he will be unable to figure a
living.
We trust the people of the State
will carefully consider the above stu
alton caused by the prospective short
age and high prices of fertilizer and
will take all possible steps to lessen
the threatened danger to our agricul-
ture.
Another very difficult problem
seems to US to confront our people.
If the State this year produces an
average or even three-quarters of an
average cotton and tobacco crop and
it sells at anywhere near present
prices, there will be, after debts are
paid, the greatest volume of surplus
money ever known in this State. Pre-
vious periods of unusual prosperity
have almost invariably been accom-
panied by speculation, extravaganza
and large investments mNnew enter
prises. With the boil weevil on our
threshold and with the war present
ing kaleidoscope of problems which
al any time may reverse the financial
outlook, our people should show a
wise conservatism this fall. If the
present outlook for a profitable busi-
ness is released it will present great
and unusual opportunity to all farm
ers and business men to pay off ac-
cumulated debts and to lay aside a
surplus to meet boil weevil condi-
tions and other probable contingent
cies.
Every man who reads. and thinks
should use all of his influence to see
that the prospective prosperity is
properly utilized and does not event
ually result in disaster. Waste and
extravaganza should be frowned upon
and made unpopular by public senti-
ment.
The government will undoubtedly
offer other issues of bonds from time
to time Gnd large part of the profits
of our people must go toward financ-
ing the Nation if the war is to be
successfully conducted. The Red
Cross, the Y. NJ. C. A. and other
national charities must be supported
and supported literally.
After debts are paid and national
financial needs fully attended to
every dollar not required for modest
but comfortable living should be safe
ly put aside for future use.
The State Council of Defense re-
quests the County Councils, the news
papers and the citizens generally to
give the widest possible publicity to
the above suggestions.
