South Carolina is not. asked or ex-
pected by the federal govrnment to
raise foodstuffs for export. We are
only asked to feed ourselves. The
burden placed on the farmers in this
State is simply that they raise
enough to feed South Carolina, and
this is certainly not an unreasonable
request. The rest of the country has
the burden of both feeding them
selves and the allies. 1t is entirely
possible and probable that transporta-
tion difficulties within the next year
will preclude the possibility of foods
and feeds being imported into this
State from the West. South Carolina
annually uses 53,0oO,000 bushels of
corn, whereas the State only produced
last year 100000 bushels. 1t is
therefore imperative that more corn
must be grown. 1t is probable that
.Ramberg county, however, grows suf-
lent corn for home purposes, but

DR.. w. w. Long is authority for
the statement that South Carolina
leads the United States, and there
fore the world, in the value Of agri-
cultural products per acre. This is
an interesting bit of information, and
something that is not generally
known. DR.. Long also states that
South Carolina stands second in the
Southern States in the value of
agricultural products per farm, Louis
lana being ahead of us by a small
margin. He calls attention to the fact,
however, that by a farm is meant
each tract of land farmed by one in
dividual; that is, if farmer operates
twenty-horse farm, tentanted by
twenty share-croppers, the census de-
partment considers that twenty farms
instead OF one. Inasmuch as the
share-cropping system is largely used
in this State, it is likely that this
States leads in this respect also. In
the matter of wealth per square
mile, South Carolina stands sixth in
the United States. AS Bamberg is
said to stand first in the amount
tof income taxes paid this year,
it is reasonable to suppose that
we must lead South Carolina; and,
therefore. the United States. And
the United States leads the world, as
is generally known.

The city of Aiken, which is only
slightly larger than Bamberg, has a
business street $50 feet wide nicely
paved with vitrified brick, which gives
one passing through the town an ex-
cellent impression Of the place. 1t
looks business-like At one end of
the street, stretched across it, flies
large service flag, containing a star
for every Aiken county man doing
service in the army or navy. A
paved main street and service flag
would add much to Bamberg's busi-
ness district.
