brance to the friends Of Mrs. Katheride
Gilbert to know of tbs following incidents
connected with her uniting with the Congl
church in Mo,risvile forty six years ago
In September, 1875 three persons came
into membership with this church by pro-
fession, each of them in early middle life,
and each the center of the family circle to
which they severally belonged. Their
names in the order of their decease were
Mrs. George W. Hendee. Mrs. Esther
French Fitch and Mrs. Katherine Clement
Gilbert. They had been closely allied in
friendship previous to the event spoken of
above and that intimacy of friendship grew
stronger as the years went By, terminating
only with the separation which death in
terposes. regardless of all ties of affection.
The first break occurred something like
twenty years ago; another last year, and
now the third, inthe death of Mrs. Gilbert.
It happened that in the year 1875 Mrs.
Hendee, with her husband, the H IN. Geo.
W. Hendee, at that time Representative
in Congress, were travelling in the West
when | received letter from him saying
that his wife had learned of the intention
of her two friends to unite with the church
at the next celebration of the Holy Com.
munion and asking if the time for holding
this service could be deferred so that Mrs.
Hendec might join them in the declara-
ton OF their new love and faith, and life,
and service for Christ in connection with
His church. Such an arrangement was
made and these three names were placed
en- the records of Il e church 46 years ago,
bearing the date of October l, 1875.
How much it meant to the church and
the community at that time and through
the years intervening to have this acces-
S: on, no one can tell until another book is
opened-"the Book of Life'-for when
these names were written in the Register
Of the Congregational church Of Morris

in for simple membership-theyc carried
along with them the personality and the
possibility of each individual at maximum
Each, with her special gifts, be-

Of Christian work to which she was called.

The Truth
About Cotton
Is Not and Never Was a
Money Making Crop
slMarion starl.

We have been criticized for our
editorial last week, advising the
farmers to cut out the cotton crop.
This worries US but little. We know
f; full we'll that the farmer has never
thrived and prospered as a cotton
grower, and in giving up q business
at which he has lost money for. ages
! he certainly cannot get much the
worse in the change. This is cot
| ton country, because we made it
q cotton country, and we erred in
making it so. Any one-crop sys-
tenn will fail. Divcrsifcation is
our one and only hope. And even
diversifcation viii fail to save US
and make us If We persist in plant
ing any crop, like cotton, which re-
Quires the use Of commercial fer
tiliZer in quantities. Cotton has
been curse to US, and until we
shake off the shackles we will re-
main commercial slaves The pop
ular cry is what shall I do for &
money crop?" If we would simply
| keep books and note that Of the
money taken in by the farmer.
from his cotton crop, he pays most
Of it for commercial fertilizer. we
would arrive at the conclusion
that through our great cotton crop
we simply handle a lot Of money
that we have. for our own uses, a
very small money crop. A small
crop Of tobacco, with small sales in
vegetables. fruits, milk, butter,
eggs, poultry, calves and pigs will
produce more cash than the aver
age farmer now actually uses for
his own purposes. In addition
| there can be produced other COM
modities which will bring cash,
such as syrup, pinestraw. wood,
watermelons, and many t h +
things of the kind which can be
produced on the farm. In other
words. when we stop buying tons
and tons of commercial fertilizers
! for cotton crops, our need for
money crops dwindleS rapidly.
Example: When this writer was q
lad, he set out, under the direc-
tions of his father, twelve pear
trees. One tree died. From the
eleven remaining trees we sold
more than one hundred dollars
worth of pears per year for ten or
| fifteen years--and they are produc-
| ing at the same rate to this day.
Eleven pear trees have produced
more than $1,000 in cash = for
nothing! Those trees produced
more profit than the average cotton
plantation. And still-this is 4 cot
ton country. We have SAID before,
and "" repeat hcre-twelve we'll
bred, young hens viii produce
more profit than an acre OF cotton
and they produce fertilizer al the
same time Until we open our
eyes to the situation we will con-
tinuc 10 produce cotton. al 4 loss.

Milk Producers Organization Need.
cd.

Clemson College, Nov. 29.-Good
reasons for milk producers or
ganization in South Carolina at the
present time include Cd the sta
bilizing Of volume and price of fluid
milk: CD the standardizing Of the
quality of dairy products; CD the
ability through such organizations
to get loans from the War Finance
Corporation to develop the dairy
industry in the state.
In the first place, through such
an organization the producing
farmers could stabilize the volume
and price Of fluid milk now retailed
in the towns and cities. This would
mean better understanding be-
tween producer, distributor, and
consumer. AT present the dis
tributor regulates everything, in
cludlng the price to the farmer and
the price TO the consumer. Ar
rangements for handling surplus
milk could be worked out also, thus
insuring continuous production.
Secondly, there is a great need
for proper standards of quality for
dairy products. These standards
must be formulated and placed on
the statute books of the state before
they are effective. To do this it is
necessary for an, organization to
stand for this need and convince
the state legislature of their neces-
sity. These regulations are needed
to protect the consumer against
paying high prices for inferior pro-
ducts and to protect the producer
of high quality products against the
unscrupulous producer All milk
should be bought and sold on
quality and percent Of butter-fat.
In the third place. by organizing
the producers may benefit from the
recent ruling OF the War Finance
Corporation which permits loans
for developing he livestock inter
sests under favorable terms.
In order to make such an or
ganization workable, suggests Prof.
J. p. LaNfaster, Chief of the Dairy
Division OF Clemson College, it is
probably best to organize the state
by districts and then ,federate these
district organizations into one
state organization. For practical
convenience the state may be d.
vided into four marketing districts:
the Piedmont, Columbia, Charles
ton. and Augusta districts.
