RAISE OWN FOOD
THEN OTHER CROPS
G. Fields, Florence County Farmer,
Makes Money by His Plan

Mr.. c. Fields, who lives about two
miles from town on Route two, says
the Timmonsville Enterprise, is one
of the few farmers in South Carolina
who was not forced to sell any of his
last years cotton crop and yet owes
no man a cent His idea which has
proven very successful during the
thirteen years he has lived at his
present place has been to raise all
lis family and farm consumes, sell
enough rough feed" as he calls it,,
to pay his expenses and raise cotton
as clean surplus. He does not plant
tobacco.
Makes Money.
Thirteen years ago Mr.. Fields
bought his present place and went
in debt for $500 on the purchase
price. Since that time, by farming
on a business basis, he has paid off
the debt, built him a fine home, de-
veloped his land to where it is in a
high state of cultivation, bought mod
ern farming implements, built good
fences, owns all of his stock, pur-
chased two automobiles, lived well,
had plenty, enjoyed life, still has his
last years cotton crop on hand, and
owes no man any money.
He has taught his boys to be work
ers like himself and although he has
only a small farm, when considered
in the light of some of his neigh
bors' acres, he cultivated his own
land. He has constantly followed
the plan of raising everything he
needs on the farm he can raise, have
a little surplus left over to sell to
his neighbors, and then putting the
remainder in cotton. The wisdom of
this plan is demonstrated by the sue
cess he has made of farming.
Ideas of His Own.
In conversation with Mr.. Fields,
he shows that he has ideas of his
own and Is independent of any one
else. 81 am a great believer in TAX
ing advice-if given by man who
has made a success of the thing he
advises on" stated Mr.. Fields. "The
fellow who talks about something he
has made a failure on himself. can
keep his advice to himself; 1 don't
want it," he continued.

FACTS ABOUT COTTON.

World production of cotton out
side OF the United States, for fac
tory consumption, has averaged T.
13S,9OO bales a year for the past
10 years, according to U. S. Census
figures.
Pink boil worm, the most deadly of
all enemies Of the cotton plant first
made Its appearance at Hearne
Texas, in 1917. Like the boil weevil
1t came from Mexico.
Foreign grown cotton to the num-
ber Of 682,911 bales was imported
into the United States last year. 1t
consisted mostly of Egyptians, and
was the largest quantity ever i'm
ported.
The number of ginnerles in the
United States in 1919 was 22,418, of
which 1885 were active, and GIN
ned an average of 6O2 bales each.
OF the toal of 1885 active gins
in the United States during 1919 all
but 93 were saw-gins.
Roller gins are used principally in
ginning sea-island cotton and the
long-staple cottons of Arizona and
California.
There is now enough cotton in the
world, unspun to last nearly two
years.
The total capacity of gins in the
United States indicates that 12,-
100000 bale crop could be ginned in
a single month. The total engine
horse power employed in ginneries
Of the United States in 1918 was
973,717.
Bolivar Co., Miss, was the only
country which ginned more than 100.
600 bales in 1919; seven reported
more than $4,000, 25 more than So
600 and 12S more than $4,000 bales.
The cotton crop of 1919 was gin
ned in 8S7 counties, of which sos
ginned less than 5000 bales each.
From the year 1900 to the out
break of the Great War in 1914 the
number of cotton spindles has in
creased at the rate of about 3,000,-
600 every year.
Since 1914 the number of cotton
spindles fit for use has been reduced
from a total of 154 100000 to a to-
tai of 13S,O0O,0OO, a decrease of
100000 during the six years.
In the United States there are 6S
counties which have more than 100,-
600 cotton spindles each.
Bristol County, Mass, with 1882
003 cotton spindles, leads all other
counties in the total number.
Rough Peruvian cotton is used to
scme extent for mixing with wool in
the making of wool textiles, especial
ly imitation woolens.
Chinese and Indian cotton is used
to a very limited extent for mixing
with American upland cotton in the
manufacture of the cheaper grades
Of goods.
Nearly all of the cotton consumed
in the United States is domestic up
land cotton.
The term upland" is applied to
all cotton produced in this country
except sea-island cotton and in
cludes the long staple upland varie-
ties.

DILLON BOY STARTS PAPER.

The following is from the Mullins
Enterprise:
Our neighboring town, Loris. has
begun the publication of a newspaper
and the people of that section feel
congratulated on the initial issue
that came from the p ress last week
The News is fortunate in having as
its editor and business manager, Mr.
j. 1. Allen, Jr, prominent young
attorney of that place. a graduate of
Wake Forest with b. A. and L. L. B.
degree. Since locating in Loris he
has built a successful law practice

and gases in the air.
VIII Regulate Temperature.
He says further:

He says further:
No fires will mean no furnaces in
the cellar, no ranges in the kitchen,
and no steam power plants. When
we use nothing but electrical power
for heating, lighting and other pur-
poses, the supply will come through
Transmission lines from big central
stations Of many millions horsepow-
er. These stations will be located
wherever power is available such as
waterfalls, coal mines and oil and
gas wells. The will eliminate the
wasteful process of hauling coal from
the mines to the small power houses
now scattered all over the country.
All these steps tend toward cheap
er electricity. Startling will be the
change when this comes. At present
when We want to keep warm on a
cold day we use a furnace, kitchen
range, the fire place and other un-
satisfactory and unsanitary methods.
In the summer, when the tempera-
ture is above normal, we are practical
ly helpless and have to suffer. Elec-
trio fans give some relief
When heating is all done cleo
trically and 1 want 20 degrees in my
hcme shall set the thermostate at
70 and the temperature will not rise
above that point. This temperature
will be maintained uniformly regard
less Of the weather outside. This will
also hold true on the warm days
when the temperature outside may be
80 or 100 degrees. The same cleo
trical apparatus will cool the air.
and what's more it will also keep the
humidity normal at all times.
Electrical Cooking.
Then, too, there is ventilation,
which does not exist in the average
nome today. AT present we have to
depend on windows, doorways and
electrical fans to blow the bad air
out and with it we lose. in winter most
OF the heat we produce in our fur
naces. When electricity is developed
We Will have an apparatus for bring
ing fresh air into the house, destroy
ing the bad air, and recovering the
heat from the warm exhaust air.
Cooking by electricity will also
be much more satisfactory. No more
coal ranges and great deal of our
food can be cooked on the table. This
can also be automatically regulated
For example, we want 10 cook a
cake. We know this should be at a
heat ofe 220 degrees for a period of
As minutes, so we set the regulator
az 230-45 and cease to worry AT
the expiration of forty five minutes
the heat is automatically turned Off
Entertainment in our homes will
also be improved. There will be no
need to go to some congested, poorly
ventilated hall for musical concert.
We just push plug into a base re-
ception, as we do for the vacuum
cleaner or table lamp, and we can
have the concert brought into our
homes; also the sermon.
ITO suppose that we are approach
ing limit is absurd. There is no
more end to invention than there is
to science. Every new scientific dis
covery gives rise to thousands of in
