agencies, many OF which are main
tanned at heavy expense OF course,
they study and rely to large extent
upon government reports but are not
absolutely dependent upon them. On
the other hand, the farmer has never
been sufficiently we'll organized to COL
lcct such information and without the
government reports would know little
or nothing Of the actual or probable
supply Of any crop and could, there
fore, have no idea as to the prices that
would prevail as determined by the
law Of supply and demand and would
be absolutely at the mercy Of inter-
ested spectators who could bear or
pull the market to suit themselves.
1t would appear, therefore, to be TO
the best interest Of the farmer, as
well as other classes of business men,
to carefully study government crop
reports and assist whenever an oppor-
tunity affords in making them as ac-
curate and dependable as possible.

VALUE OF CROP REPORTS
Farmers Protected from Spectators by Government
Crop Reports

b. b. Hare, South Carolina Field
Agent Of the Bureau of Crop Esti-
mates, United States Department of
Agriculture has the following to say
In reference to Importance Of govern
ment crop reports:
The one great industry of South
Carolina is agriculture, it's annual! out
put being larger than that Of all other
industries combined. Much has been
accomplished during the last decade
In diversiffcation, increased production
and farm organization. In fact, the
industry is being organized as never
before and is passing to what may be
termed a business basis, as distin-
guished from the traditional routine,
hit or miss method Of the past. In the
transition its problems must be solved
III the main in exactly the same way
as are the problems Of other industries,
by the study Of records Of past per-
formances in connection with present
prospects and future possibilities. Yet
1t is singular how little he great ma
jority of us know Of the agricultural
resources Of the State from a business
or economic standpoint. 1t is surpris-
ing to learn how little we know about
the production, or supply and demand
Of any particular crop. The object
therefore, of this article is to call at
tcntion to the Importance and eco
nomic value of reliable agricultural
statistics and possibly stimulate an in
quiring interest in government crop
reports.
1t might be stated at the outset that
no large industry, business or enter
prise can be long and successfully
conducted without records Of past
performances and knowledge OF ex-
listing conditions upon which to base
present activities for future develop
mont. For example, no man with eX-
pericncc and business ability would
engage in any business enterprise re-
quiring all Of his capital without first
studying the past records Of the in
,dustry and acquainting himself Of its
relation to other industries and the
The great Industry Of agriculture can
not be properly and successfully con-
ductod as such without records show

BUY PAINT WITH

There's as much difference in tho
character OF paints as in people. You
want paint that not only looks well on
your property, but that will give you
the best service at lowest cost.
That Is the reason you should buy q
paint containing the greatest amount
