Select Your Seed Corn Early

When corn ripens, drop all other
business and select an abundant sup.
ply of seed corn from the standing
stalks. The process is too important
TO be conducted incidentally while
ihlsking. When selecting seed corn
give the process your entire atten-
ton. Get the very best that is to be
had and preserve it we'll, and your
increased yields will return you more
profit than any other work you can
do on your ia. m.
The yield Of corn in the South can
easily be doubled by proper selection
of seed and proper cultivation.
If you must buy seed, pay your
neighbor a reasonable price for Sc
lected dried seed of a variety that
has made good in neighboring
6eld; but don't pay stranger a fan
,r;co for seed claimed to give
miraculous yields.
"Trust in Providence and keep
vour seed corn dry.
Actual tests have proved that care
s,,l,v stored seed corn will yield as
nncb as 1S bushels more to the acre
+han seed from the ordinary storage
# the corn crib. This would mean

Our Tobacco Industry

An industry that mas multiplied
twenty times in volume and eight
times in value in the course of nine
years-that is apparently the record
o. tobacco IN South Carolina, accord
ing to figures for the tobacco sales
in this State during the month OF
August, as compiled by the State
department of agriculture, commerce
ana industry. August sales in the
state this year were 44,345,92I
pounds, as compared with 2,O6S,3S9
pounds in August, 1910, and the
money paid by buyers for this to-
bacco was $1O,944,l16 against about
sl25. 900 for the same month IN 1910.
The figures for August, 1919, must
be a revelation to most people IN the
S.a,A who have taken only a passing
interest in tobacco and have not re-
garded it as one of the leading crops.
They will be forced so to regard 1t
from now on. A crop that sells into
figures like these is a great factor IN
economic life of State and deserves
20 have the best attention OF the
State for its improvement in the
several branches Of production and
marketing.
As the Evening Post has pointed
out on more than one occasion, the
remarkable development of the to-
oacco-grow;ng industry in South
Carolina in the past few years should
oe Of special interest to Charleston.
The raising OF tobacco is confined al
most entirely to the eastern counties
.: the State and Charleston, while
interested in the whole State, has
always regarded the eastern section
as the territory with which its rale-
tions were and ought to be especial
ly close and has always felt especial
ly close to the people of that section.
Moreover, it is highly significant,
from this viewpoint, that most Of
the new tobacco region is in territory
nearer Charleston than the old fields
and that the growth of the tobacco
belt of the State is toward this city.
Paintings on a large scale in Dor
chester, Berkeley and other nearby
counties have undoubtedly contribut-
ed largely to the great increase in
the crop of this year over that Of
1918.
In the face of the boil weevil,
bringing with it the necessity for
severe curtailment of cotton acreage
and thereby only augmenting the
movement of the farmers associa-
ton for such curtailment, the farm
ers of the State and especially of the
eastern counties, are looking for sub
stitute crops. Those of the tobacco
belt know they have good one in
tobacco and those in neighboring
counties who have not yet tr1ed To-
bacco will undoubtedly be induced to
do so before many seasons have pass
ed. Most farmers in this part OF the
country are accustomed to produc-
ing a crop that is strictly money"
crop, one easily sold when the time
has come to market it, quickly con-
vertible into cash. Tobacco, when
markets have been well organized
and warehouses provided, is such a
crop. 1t will not be surprising in
time TO see South Carolina near the
top of the list of tobacco-growinng
States and no city will benefit from
this development in so great meas
ure as will CharleSton.-Charleston

Both democratic and republican lealers predicted tonight that an overwhelming vote of approval would be given before adjournment to- morrow.

Republican Leader Lodge and Senators Penrose of Penn sylvania and France of Maryland in- sisted that this formality be followed. Its reading took more than an hour. with the Senate virtually deserted. An incident enlivening the procedure was the inadvertent adoption of the con ference report, but, upon objection by Senator Simmons, the action was set aside. Senator McKellar of Tennessee, democrat, who was presiding, hastily put the question on the report and formally declared the report adopted, but Senator Simmons who had not spoken, induced him to annul his de- ci sion
