BRIGHT OUTLOOK
Crops of Edgefield County Give
Promise of Large Harvest.
Food Crops In
creased.

Sundays issue of The State con-
tanned brief reports from a number
of counties throughout the State
upon crop conditions, the following
being sent from this county:
"As Edgefeld is an agricultural
county, the very encouraging out
look for a large harvest from all
crops Is causing the people to be
more buoyant in spirits than usual
at the midsummer season. As re-
suit of the food preparedness agita-
tion early in the spring there has
been an increase of from 80 to 40
per cent. in the acreage of food
crops. More attention has been
given to corn in Edgefeld county
this year than ever before. 1t is
predicted that enough corn will be
produced this year to supply the
needs of the county without ship
ping in a busnel next year from the
West. 1he cotton acreage IN the
county has been slightly reduced
and the stand is not as satisfactory
as during an average year. How
ever, cotton has improved wonder
fully during the past two weeks.
If rain falls within the next few
days all of the early corn will be
practically made and all of the old
est cotton will be heavily fruited.
If the continued high prices prevail
in the fal! and the expected harvest
is realized, the farmers of this
county will handle and deposit more
money in bank, as well as buy more
automobiles, than they ever have
before. The war has not yet affect
ed the people of this section to the
extent that they feel compelled to
economical"

Best Cure for Fodder Pulling
Itch"

Are you approaching the time of
year when your hands begin to itch
to pull fodder? If you are afflicted
with this peculiar disease, then
Clemson College has a prescription
ready and waiting for you. Glenn
son College says the thing to do is
to scratch your hands when they
itch this way, but keep them abso-
lutely off the corn. On this point
recent press bulletin of Clemson
says:
"When the lower leaves of the
corn begin to turn yellow, and ears
begin to look as if they are fairly
good sized, the farmers hands be-
gin to itch to get into the field and
pull the fodder. Instead of stand
ing right still and scratching his
hands-which is the quickest and
best way to get rid of the itching
sensation, and as the long headed
man will do--hundreds OF farmers
put all hands to work stripping the
corn stalks. Yet, experiments con-
Quoted by Mr.. D. r. Coker of
Hartsville, S. c., showed that fod-
der pulling resulted in reduction
of yield of from 10 to "a per cent,
depending upon the ripeness of the
fodder r,-and the loss from rot is
from s to 10 per cent more in the
grain from the fodder-pulled corn
than it is in the grain from corn
that has not been fodder pulled"
The next time you feel the "fod-
der pulling itch'' tickling your
hands, read over again the figures
