Tablets that are Nausea
less, Safe and Sure.

Doctors have found by experience
that no medicine for colds and influ-
enza can bo depended upon for full Of.
fectivcness until the liver is made thor
oughly active. That is why the first
step in the treatment is the new, nausea
less calomcl tablets called Calotabs,
which are free from tho sickcning and
weakening effects Of tho old style calo-
mel. Doctors also point out the fact
that an active liver may go long way
towards preventing influenza and is ono
of the most important factors in en-
abling the patient to successfully with
stand an attack and ward off pncu-
monia.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed

est interference with your eating, pleas

has vanished, your liver is active, your

81, 1920, the worlds consumption of
cotton was 10,366,165 bales. If con-
sumption is as great for the CORES
ponding period this year, there will
still be left "carry over" of 9,S66,208
bales on July 81. 1921.
We believe that the general econ
omic condition of the country makes a
marked reduction in the acreage of
cotton necessary. Under safe sys-
tenn of farming very few farmers
should plant more than one-t third of
their total cultivated lands in cotton
This holds good for normal conditions,
not merely for emergencies. Every
farmer should study the question of
acreage and should work out some. sys-
tenn of crop rotation suited to his
soils and needs. County agents can
be of assistance in recommending sys-
TENS of rotation for particular farms
The following is a three-year system
which may be changed in minor ways
to suit particular farms:
First ycar-Cotton followed by a
cover crop such as crimson clover or
abbruzzi rye.
Second year--Corn with cowpcas or
velvet beans.
Third year-Small grains followed
with cowpeas, soy beans, peanuts, etc.
Sweet Potatoes
1t is the opinion Of the Extension
Service that sweet potatoes as Il crop
for home consumption, and in Il con-
Servatlve way as cash crop should
be included in the program for 1921.
The South Carolina Sweet Potato
Growers Association now has an eff
ficient system of marketing sweet po-
tofn ,,> L.,
demand for 1921 now appears to be
good.
Land left idle on account Of de
creased cotton acreage should be
planted largely to corn. 1t is one of
the safest crops which can be grown
in South Carolina. The new freight
rate from the corn belt to South
Carolina makes the price of im-
ported corn in this state higher than
IN any other producing section.
Peanuts
While the very low price of peanuts
for the past year has been very dis
couraging to the growers, it should be
remembered that this price is due to
the heavy importation of vegetable
oils from China and Japan, and that
even this decrease i'm price is not in as
great proportion as the decline in the
price of cotton. We believe that pea
nuts still deserve conservative consid-
GRAFTON in the 1921 program.
Oats
! Where farmers have not been able
to put in crop Of oats, we believe
that it is still time to plant on good
land with a reasonable chance Of max
ing fair crop.
Tobacco
Tobacco growers in this state have
IN the past grown this crop with Il
view of securing the largest possible
quantity. In view of the surplus of
cheap grades of tobacco not only from
the fields of this country but from
other countries, it is essential that we
plant only such lands in tobacco as are
known to produce tobacco Of good
quantity and to use only such fcrtili-
Zcrs rs are known to tend toward the
production Of high grade tobacco.

GENERAL SUGGESTIONS and
CROP RECOMMENDATIONS

Clemson College, February 21.-The
fsExtension Service representing Glenn
8 sc:a College and the United States De-
partment of Agriculture is advocating
this year principles in farming that
have always proved sound even under
the abnormal conditions Of the last
,ssx years. The principles in brief are
SSase follows:
Soilbuilding through the use of
coker crops, legumes, livestock, and
crop rotations. Economic production
Sis based on large production per acre

sprSfglscttgssis synonym osuwith profit
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1921-02-23

this year it is particularly necessary to
live and produce crops economically
AS one county agent has expressed it,
go ahead"
Closely associated with economic
production both for the market and
for home use, and are two important
lines of progress which the Extension
Service is promoting. These are.
First, the skillful selection and use
of purebred seed by communities and
counties.
Second, the improvement of our
livestock by the use of purebred sires,
| and an increase in number so as to in
sure the necessary improved livestock
, on each farm to supply the needs for
milk, butter, eggs and meat, and to
utilize the food crops resulting from
diversified farming program.
Farmers who are growing any money
crop for the first time are urged to
plant only experimental acreages. In
planting crops for home use full ac-
reage should be planted so as to insure
adequate production even under poor
crop conditions.
Cotton
The situation now existing in the
SoeIof liluuoCIy 10 GHyCnlng
we have ever seen before. During
the war Central Eruope was not a
customer for our cotton but produce
tion was curtailed so that notwithstahd
ing. that fact, prices were maintained
in keeping with costs. Cotton grow
ers generally believed that following
a cessation Of hostilities Europe would
demand a normal supply of cotton.
The following figures are quoted from
the Market Reporter published by the
United States Bureau of Markets I'M
der date of January 20, 1921.

able production.
Living at home by filling our
barns, corn cribs, smoke houses, gran
aries and pantries with home raised
products sufficient not only for the
families of landlords but also for all
tenants and livestock. Many of our
white landlords now practically live at
home while buying Western foodstuffs
corrected and the entire farm made
self-supporting. The attention of far
mers is called to the fact that the in
creased freight rates will add greatly
to the cost of imported foodstuffs this
year.

the economic production of the sur.
