Individual Airplanes.

Whether or not the average citizen
welcomes the idea of individual air
planes jaunting about in the air over
his head, TIE inventors are busy
enough trying to invent them. Sew
eral small planes are already more or
less on the way to such use in Eng
land. Italy and France. One reads of
planes already perfected. and that
"small and light, and capable Of being

Peanut Oil Gaininu Favor.

The production of peanut oil, includ-
ing both the cold-pressed and the hot
pressed, In the United States has in
creased from $4,000 pounds in 1912 to
95,934, 900 pounds in 1913, an increase
Of more than 21OOO per cent. The i'm
portation of peanut oil increased from
100000 pounds in 1912 to 6S,466,OOO
pounds in 1918. Practically all the i'm
ported peanut oil Is hot-pressed. Com
plete statistics for 1919 are not yet
available.
1t is apparent, say specialists, that
cold-pressed peanut oil is winning for
itself place on the American table,
justified by its flavor, nutritive value
and digestibility.

COTTON MARK ETING
MEETING AT SANTUC

Inc meeting scheduled to be held at
Santuc yesterday in the interest of
cotton marketing was held at the ap-
pointed hour, 3 o'clock p. m.. Thirty
sIH men attended the meeting and the
foli Ting program was carried out:
L.. j. Browning, president of the Union
County Branch of the American Cot
ton Association, represented the cotton
association and urged upon all the
necessity of joining the movement. He
stressed the fact that men of all oc-
cupatlons, including the manufacture
ers, should enter the organization for
lts purpose is the upbuilding of the
South. He showed need for coopera-
tion. if the best interests of the South
are to be met. He urged that.p}ans be
made for obtaining cotton grader
for Union County.
w. H. Mills, representing Clemson
College Extension work, explained in
detail the warehousing plan proposed
he showed how great was the loss
from weather damage, also from the
usual method of sampling and urged
upon all the cotton growers the neces-
sity Tor proper housing, holding SO as
to gradually market the cotton and
explained in detail the plans of tho
warehouse commission and the great
benefits to be derived. Cotton m,s+
be kept from weather damage, it must
be marketed for period of twelve
months, and to do these things. there
must be warehouse facilities adeouata
TO meet the needs; these warehouses
must be in easy reach of the farmer
The estimated cost of a wareborso
was given, both the cheaply construct
ed one and the brick building with
sprinkler system. He estimated the
cost of the cheaper structure at 50 On
to $3.50 per bale capacity, and the
better building at $l5 per bale capaci-
ty. Thus, a thousand bale warehouse
on the cheaper scale would cost from,
$4,000 to $4,000 to build The briol,
structure of thousand bales capac;-
W would cost about SIS 900. The diff
ference In insurance would just about
balance up the two propositions +be
rate on the cheaper building being
much higher than on the brick ware
mousse He urged that for small COM
munitles the cheaper structure He
explained in detail the entire question
and left the community the matter of
settling the question as to what kind
OF warehouse is to be constructed
and also whether there be anv need
for warehouse. If you already have
adequate facilities, and the rate ;s
reasonable, better not build additional
structures, but use what YOU already
have.

showed how the farmers are losing
large sums of money through improp-
er grading, giving examples of specific
cases to prove his contention.
The following committees, to fur

Membership in Cotton Association:
r. M. White, Chairman; J. F. Meador
and w. o. Jeter.
The cotton grading committee, along
with similar committees from the
other townships, will decide the ques-
tion of whether we are to have a cot
ton grader for the county. The cost
will be $4,000 year. The Santuc
committee at once got busy and de-
cided to ask for contribution of SOC
per bale produced last year. Quite
number of farmers agreed to ac-
cept that proposition. So soon as the
president Of the county cotton asso-
citation can report to the agricultural
department that $4,000 is on deposit
In a bank in Union County subject to
the demand Of the government, grad
er will be sent to the county, that is
provided he can be secured. There is
a shortage of graders, and in case we
could not be furnished with one, of
course this money would be refunded
to the contributors. The same sched-
ule as to committees will be carried
out at Union and Jonesville. The same
questions will be discussed by the
same speakers.
Union County, it seems to us, should
have an official cotton grader, and the
Santuc plan is as good as any. Let
each farmer contribute SOC for each
bale made last year and let the COM
mittees call upon the other business
intrests for contribution that will be
In just proportion to the amount con-
tributed by the farmers.
1t was brought out at the meeting
that some counties put up this first
years money and by charging for
grading that year get the money re-
funded and it is then returned to the
donor.
Other counties put up the first year
the $4,000 and allow all farmers to
have the service of the expert grader
free. This latter course seems the
one likely to be chosen in this county,
from what We saw at the Santuc meet
ing.
|
We do not care how you do it. lust
SO you get the cotton grader. We
feel that it will be a great step for
ward for Union County, and the cost,
$4,000 year, is a mere pittance from
each one. Let us have the cotton grad
er, and let US have him the coming
season.
AS to the warehouse question, we
await the announcement of the com.
mlttees appointed, but feel inclined
to say that certainly Jonesville and
Santuc need to build a warehouse.
and from the talk we heard at Santuc
yesterday, Santuc will probably build
