Editorial
When a young man
goes into business now
adays he is told not to
do so many different
things that one often
wonders how he ever has
the courage to attempt
ANYTHING.
How much better if
writers would only devote
more of their time tell
ing WHAT to do rather
than WHAT NOT to do!
We don't say this with
out grounds. For years we
have followed the policy of
showing new employees the
RIGHT way to reach the
top in this store. We don't
fill their heads with a lot of
DONTS. The result is one
of, if not the most efficient
organization in the city.
But IL we are compelled
to tell a person NOT to do
q thing, We try to make
clear the reason for not do
ing it.
Every man or woman
wants to do his or her work
RIGHT. and nine out of
ten times mistakes are
made through lack of in
struction rather than
through Indifference or
careleSsness. Aren't we
right, workers?

HOG PRICES DROP
Sold at Fifteen Dollars q HUI.
dred in Chicago

Chicago, Aug. 28.-The SIS hog,
$3.50 nearer the slender purse of the
high cost OF living victimS made its
appearance in the Chicago stock yards
today. His advent was Immediately
followed by slump in provisions and
grain as we'll as live cattle and sheep;
Meat products on the board of trade
decreased sharply in price but the Ie-
clil1es were not evident on the retail
market.
Corn and oats felt the effect of the
hog and provisions decline but butte-,
eggs and boultry in large or small
amounts were unaffected by the stock
yards drop.
A continuance of the decline in live
hog prices was looked for by. traders
who pointed out that $4,000 of the
rs, 600, 900 animals received at the
stock yards today were unsold and
that $1,000 more were expected 20
arrive before the opening tomor-
row. Cattle of the higher grades were
25 cents less per hundred weight and
sheep and lambs were fully so cents
cheaper.
The drop in hog prices was the
greatest since 1917 and traders who
look for still lower figures pointed out
that Eastern storage houses are be-
lieved to be already crowded with
meat products leaving only a dones-
tic outlook.

Washington, Aug. 29.-Senator

nounced the Versailles document as

Tobacco Barn and po
tatO House.

Clemson College, Aug. 29.-R. E.
Currin, superintendent of the Pee Dee
Experiment Station, and George P.
Hoffman,, Extension horticulturist,
have worked out a. plan for the con-
version of tobacco barns into; sweet
potato curing houses and as a result
it is likely that a good many tobacco
barns will be soon converted for the
1919 potato crop.
In his bulletin on Tobacco Cul-
ture in South Carolina (Extension
Bulletin 43) Mr.. Currin has two
types Of tobacco barns, either of
which can be converted and used for
potato season, which does not. con-
flict with the tobacco season Any
similar tobacco barn can be made
back into a tobacco barn season af-
ter season by following the sugges-
tions below.
The tobacco barn plans referred
these tier poles tongue and groov-
ed floor for q ceiling with four or
five holes for ventilation.
The work of conversion could be
done after tobacco curing season.
and potatoes would probably be sold
before another curing season, The
ceiling laid on the tier poles could
be easily taken out and the floor
taken out in sections. The inner
walls would remain, and another
season the floor and ceiling could
be restored for potato curing.
Such a plan for the economical
use of one building for two purpose
seems to offer every condition for
success, and in fact it has been
tried out with entire, satisfaction, ac-
cording to report receivedsrecent-
ly by Superintendent. Currin.

American Cotton Association
Issues Report of Condition
Of Staple Crop
COTTON PLANT DISEASED
IN MANY SECTIONS
Results Will Probaly Show the
Largest Yield Reduction Ever
Recorded

Columbia, Aug. 28.-The American
Cotton Association issued the follow
ing report tonight, placing the condi-
ton of the cotton crop on August Is
at 58.2 per cent. The government
crop report, giving condition on Aug
ust 25, will be issued September 2.
There was a difference of only L per
cent in the last American Cotton AS
sociation report and the government
report:
"The condition of the growing crop
up to August 25 for the belt is 58.2
The crop is from two to four weeks
late. It has a. diseased root system;
sappy and unable to stand reverses;
extremely poorly fruited. shedding and
showing rapid deterioration and prem
ature opening.
Insect damage has been record
breaking. Boil weevil damage IS the
largest ever known. In addition to
this boil worm, army worm and REQ
spiders have done serious damage.
There is 5s-serious damage also from
boil rot.
Labor is extremely short and un-
satisfactory The. gathering of even
the record breaking small crop, which
is no way certain, will be a most
serious. problem. Under favorable
weather conditions delay in gather
ing will be serious and will result in
cotton standing in the fields unpick-
ed. causing crop grade to be low.
With adverse weather conditions loss
es on account of extreme labor con-
ditions will be enormous, resulting in
the largest percentage of off grade of
any crop ever gathered.
Acreage abandonment will be 8 IA
per cent. This is the largest amount
ever recorded. The farmers are
forced, on account of the great
scarcity of labor and the record
breaking seasons, to abandon this
amount of acreage. This will show
the largest reduction in the yield
probably ever recorded. No deduction
has been made in our condition report
for abandonment, nor will the De-
partment of Agriculture show any
deduction for acreage abandonment
until the end of the season"
