Kitchen Work is Now

Efficient housekeeping meth
DDS are as important as capable
business management. Yet
thousands of women continue to
work under conditions that arc
little better than primitive while
men are aided in their daily
tasks by dozens of time and
labor-saving appliances.
Busy men would not counte-
nance the restrictions that
kitchen labor imposes upon wo-
men. So why should women,
who comprise Americas biggest
industry, permit drudgery to
take it's toll in precious time and
energy?
Household efficiency should
begin with the installation of the
Hoosier Kitchen Cabinet. 1t

l want to. call your attention to a
most interesting statement recently
made in a report on live stock con-
ditions in war stricken countries. It
has been stated that it will be nee
essary for the cattle men Of the
United States to raise and export
within the next few years, 40,000,-
600 head of live stock to rehabilitate
the herds devastated during the
world War. To what extent will the
State of South Carolina and the port
of Charleston figure in this gigantic
tranaction?
South Carolina has a total Of 49,
s32, $50 acres Of land within her bor-
ders. There are under cultivation ap-
proximately 6,500,000 acres This
means that number Of acres are on
the tax books as improved revenue
producing property.
Just consider adding to that num-
Der of acres within the next few
wears, the 100000 acres Of rich,
fertile lands now lying idle, which
are now on the tax books as idle
lands not producing.
Do you agree in the statement
that we can almost double the taxa
BILE wealth of our State by bringing
into utilization these 100000 acres
of idle lands? We are only just be-
ginning to realize the wonders that
may be worked through whole
hearted cooperation. True cooperation
breeds a spirit Of comradeship that
is worth while striving for and se!-
dom comes by any other means II
we 20 about the work we have IN
hand in a spirit Of true cooperation
we can make South Carolina the az
tive center of the live stock industry
in the United States.
Here the gulf stream closely skirt
ing our seacoast makes the temper
ature and moisture conditions JUS:
right for the rapid growth OF nour-
Iishing food for all live stock. In fact
these conditions cause such raplo
growth of grasses that it causes the
cotton grower to keep up an active
and continuous battle with nature u
keep down the grasses in his cotton
fields. Likewise, the cities seem to
i, lose out in their battles with nature
in keeping the bricks and stones OF
their streets and sidewalks
While we are increasing the taxa
ble wealth of our State in bringing
into utilization the millions Of rich
fertile, idle lands within the State
by the introduction Of the live stock
industry on broader scale, we will
at the same time keep at home some
of the funds we are sending to fan

Increasing the Taxable Wealth

Of an address by George R. Wheeler,
manager of the South Carolina Land
Owners Association, at the meeting
of the Agricultural Society Of South
Carolina on the plantation Of Hora-
ito Bigelow, Jr., Charleston county:
Mr.. President and Gentlemen:
In taking as my subject, "lncreas-
ing the Taxable Wealth of South
Carolina" l had several objects in
view, the foremost that Of having a
broad subject and one that would at
ford me the opportunity Of bringing
ND matters of vital importance to
the actual work of converting the
States greatest liability into an ac-
tive asset.
Before going further into the sub
ject, please allow me to say that IT
is my intention to be very plain and
frank in all my statements and while
/ would like to have this address in
elude many fiattering pictures and
Rowery remarks, yet l feel it my
duty to paint conditions as they act
ually exist, in order that we may
get right down to the discussion OF
righsing conditions and cleaning our

distant points for meats, butter, and
condensed milk.
The boil weevil has made his ap-
pearance within the State, hence, we
are brought face to face with the
fact that the cotton industry will, for
the next few years meet with con-
siderable reduction in production. We
need to be only concerned with one
danger in this connection and that
is what might be termed q boil wee
vii panic. The South Carolina farmer
is beginning to see the handwriting
ON the wall and has diversified or is
arranging to diversity his crops In
other words, he is going to cease BE-
ing a one-crop farmer, but we should
keep our eye on the boil weevilshe-
wiki. He is the man who will cry
"Wolf! Wolf" and do everything he

farmer cease to fight nature by kill

growing in spite of his efforts te

foundation for agriculture is live

or later. Why not hasten the day.

South Cardinals idle
acres alone would produce approx
mately s1,5OO, 100000 worth of farm
products and livestock to add to her
taxable wealth to build better roads
and support better schools and buy
the wares of the merchants OF her
cities and increase the bank deposits.
To haul the cattle and hogs and
sheep that would be raised on these
lands, if Iowa's production should be
reached, would require each year
1900 freight trains or fourty cars
each or twenty trains a day in the
Transportation of such products.
The surplus created by this produc-
ton over home needs would supply
cargoes for an endless chain OF
ships plying theocean to the markets
of the world.
Charleston has every opportunity
of developing into just as large, II
not larger packing center, than Fort
Worth or Kansas City.
The relation of Charleston to the
development of these lands is brought
into the discussion for the reason
that Charleston is the chief seaport
city of South Carolina and If Char
lesion does not see fit to stand right
back of the great work Of bringing
into utilization the 100000 acres
of rich, fertile, idle lands within the
State by the introduction OF the 1--we
stock industry on broader scale
then in that event, it will be neces-
sary to make some other seaport OF
South Carolina a great packing and
meat exporting center.
Charleston is surrounded with
thousands upon thousands Of cargo
producing factories which are not
turning out products any ways near
their capacity. There ars also tnous-
ands upon thousands Of farm factory
sites now lying idle. Every farm is
a factory and its products are ever
in demand and now that we nave
and will have for many years 10
come, large portion Of other parts
of the world to feed the need for the
increased of outputs of these farm
factories, together with the develop
ment of additional factories is SO
evident that no comment is neces-
sary.
To insure the success and pros
perity of any agricultural communl-
ty is to introduce the live stock in
dustry, making live stock the prlncl-
pal industryof the community. All
history, from the time Of Jesus
Christ down to this day, shows that
prosperity, happiness and right liv-
ing are brought about by the rails
ing and by the taking of human in
