COTTON GRADERS
FOR SEVEN COUNTIES

Clemson College, September H.
Seven Counties in South Carolina
will have expert cotton graders dur
ing the coming season; namely, An
derson, Clarendon, Darlington, Sum-
ter, Greenwood, Laurens, and Or
angeburg. This cotton grading
work is financed jointly by the Elk
tension Service, the United States
Department of Agriculture, and the
individual counties, and is under the
administrative direction of C!smson
College. The graders are selected
by the Bureau of MAJ ees Of t..
lited Sta rs I ,pa' t,ent Of Agri-
culture froM u perien II men
and are given technical instruction
by the Bureau of Markets.
This is a disinterested CHASING
service, and it is hoped that it will
help to reduce the difference be-
tween the prices pa ! il c.'Hc;' by
the mills and the prices received by
the farmers. It should enable the
farmer to know the value of his cot
ton and to realize that value more
fully.
In this connection it rs interesting
to note that studies made in North
Carolina have shown that the aver
age cotton mill paid about s11.50
per bale more than the farmer re-
ceived. for the same class of cotton.
It was estimated that so points, or
$3.50 per bale, would amply meet
the cost of freight and othe- legiti-
mate charges in sending the cotton
to the mills. The employment of
expert cotton graders should help to
save for the farmers at least a con-
siderable part Of the remaining So
per- bale.
Department Circular Sc, of the U.
S. Dept. of Agriculture, entitled
Suggested improvements in Meth
DDS Of Selling Cotton by Farmers"
contains some interesting facts and
figures on this subject. It may be
had from the u. s. Dept. of Agricul-
ture, Washington, D. C. ....

PETERSBURG
WOMAN TELLS
HOW DRECO
CURED ECZEMA
Had Spent Hundreds of Dollars,
Without Success, in an Effort to
Cure II, Until She Took
DRECO.

Miss Daisy Ferguson of 70 Ball
ingbrook, Petersburg, Va, says:
ct had suffered awfully for seven
years with eczema on my neck and in
my head. I had spent several hum
dred dollars in an effort to cure it,
but without success. I have now ia
ken three bottles of Dreco, and since
taking it the eczema is drying up,
the redness is going away and it is
better than at any time before. It is
practically we'll, but I am still tax
ing Dreco because I fel sure it is 60
ing to take it away entirely"
Dreco is pleasant to take and re-
lieves rheumatism, cleanses the blood
regulates the bowels, overcomes con-
stipation, acts on the liver and kid
neys, and is for skin troubles, such
as eczema, saurvy, boils and pimples.
Dreco is made from juices and ex-
tracts of many medicinal herbal
plants which act on the vital organs
in pleasant and prompt manner.
Dreco is highly recommended in
Abbeville by P. B. Speed, Druggist.

Feeding For Eggs.

Clemson College, September H.
Probably the most important reason
why more eggs are not produced in
South Carolina is the overfeeding Of
corn. The fowls are frequently kept
in unsanitary, mite-infested houses,
or roost in the trees, or the flock
contains so many different kinds and
ages Of chickens it is impossible to
feed or manage them inteligently.
These unfavorable conditions should
be remedied, says Prof. F. C. Hare,
of the Poultry Division, who makes
the following suggestions.
There is one constituent Of food
that has an important bearing on
egg production and the development
of chicks It is called protein, and
from it is made the flesh, feathers,
blood, and the whites Of the eggs.
If less than Is percent Of protein is
present in the ration, the hens lay
few eggs, while the biddies are
stunted, become stupid, and die.
Corn or hominy contains only a
little over 10 per cent Of protein, so
that unless the poultry can supple
ment their supply Of this constituent
from bugs, worms, or meat found on
the range, we should provide the
hens and chicks with foods that con-
tain more protein: This is exactly
where many persons fail with poul-
try; they feed their fowls in the
winter, when there are no bugs, the
same as in the spring, when there
are insects everywhere.
Buttermilk and Corn.-Where but
termilk or thick, sour milk, is avail
able, the simplest and best way to
provide the needed protein and bal
ance the ration, is to give the layers
and growing chickens ali the butter
milk they can drink. Feed whole OF
cracked corn once daily in warm
weather, and twice daily in cold
weather. II the hens range around
the mule lots and pick up. waste
food, omit the feeding Of grain
simply putting out pans Of butter
milk. 80. ~,
All Grain Ration.-A balanced IA
ton for laying hens can be secured
by feeding twice daily equal parts
by weight Of corn, peas, and oats.
This food will produce eggs In win
ter from well matured pullets
Middlings and CeFn-Anether SIM
pie method for/ obtaining eggs In
winter is to feed wheat bran and
middlings mixed with water each
morning, and To feed corn at night.

CROP ESTIMATES.

The government report issued to
lay by B. B Hare, SeL:n Carolina
t::elo Agent of the Unitsd St"t.. l'e!
oartment of Acricult'lra. shows that
.:e!e was a decline c. i>pcr cent in
condition Of both cotton and rorn
from July Is, to Angus 25. Cotton
declined from VI to 6: per cent in
Sout!s Carolina and corn from - to
76 per cent. The deter:oration Ia
Of both is attributed almost
wholly to excessive rains during the
latter part of July and the first two
weeks Of August. The bon weevil,

cretly for eight months has had of
course no bearing upon, and the rea-
sonable discussion in the future can
not possibly affect the high cost Of
living. If any single individual can
be charged with responsibility for
the high cost of living that man is
Woodrow Wilson. The living costs in
December and January last were sub
stantially what they are today. Mr..
Wilson then had exactly. the same
laws he now invokes. He had neither
time nor inclination to deal with a
problem then practically as acute a.;
it is now. He never even touched
the subject, except patronizingly and
as an ephemeral ill of no conse-
l'quence or Importance. He makes it's
solution depend now upon the imme-
diate ratification of his treaty. He
would frighten US by cheap and
specious statement, devoid of econo-
my, logic and wanting in any sound
reason. He covers his own derelec-
ton by an unfounded counter charge
Remember his address to Congress,
December 2 last. -
"The moment No. knew the armis-
! tice to have been signed, we took the
harness off. It is surprising how
fast the process of returning to a
peace footing has moved in the three
weeks since fighting stopped" His
idea of reconstruction then was, it
will not be easy to direct it any bet
ter than it will direct itself. When
he had ample time for action last
December and might have prevented
the subsequent continuance Of high
prices these are his words: Our peo-
pie do not wait to be coached and
led. Any leading strings we might
seek to put them in would speedily
become hopelessly entangled, be-
cause they would pay no attention to
them and go their own way. The
American business man is of quick
Initiative At that time we had a
competent federal food administra-
ton, completely organized through
out the nation. Mr.. Wilson deliber-
ately scrapped this vast organiza-
tion, which might have removed a
part, at least, Of the causes Of higl
prices. Now, months aftar he has
dismissed the federal and State agen-
cies, he is calling them together
again to deal with the question. The
ratification Of the treaty may ia
crease exports, but increase in ex-
ports will not reduce prices at home.
If responsibility for the high cost Of
living rests upon any agency or
man, it rests upon the present ad-
ministration or Woodrow Wilson"

Of course, is doing considerable dam
age to cotton in the extreme south
ern counties.
It appears from the table below
that, the western and central counties
suffered more severely from the ex-
cessive rains than did the eastern
and northwestern counties, the con-
dition of both cotton and corn being
much better in the Pee Dee and Pied
mont counties than in other sections
of the State. ...... ..
The forecast Of production of cot
ton in South Carolina will approx
mate 1,160, 900 bales. Of course, the
final out-turn will be larger or small
er than this amount as weather con-
ditions hereafter are better or worse
than average conditions. The aban-
doned acreage Of cotton since June
25, according to reports made by
correspondents and from personal
observation Of the Field Agent, will
not exceed 2 per, cent.
The corn crop for the State will be
smaller than usual, the condition in
some localities being very good while
in others it is very, very poor. The
abandoned acreage in the State will
be at least 10 per cent, the most of
which is confined to late paintings.
The estimated production for the
entire United States is 1858, ,OO0, 900
bushels, which is approximately 275,-
100000 bushels. more than the esti-
mated production in 1918.
Cowpeas and peavine hay are the
best for years but the acreage is
much smaller than usual, the seed at
planting time being very scarce and
unusually high priced. Estimates
show that there is a per cent in
crease in the number of fattening
hogs in the State at this>time over
that of last year.
