Rice and Tobacco Acreage Reduction
Heaviest, Compared With the Past
Year. Wheat Yield VIII Be Consid-
erably Less.
Forecasts of the country's principal
farm crops made by the department OF
agriculture from their July condition
indicate there will be no record-break-
ing production in any crop in the Unit
ed States with the possible exception
of corn. Conditions during June caus-
ed a reduction in the production fore
casts of every crop as compared with
last months estimates.
There will be bumper corn crop,
but other crops are well below last
years production and in some in
stances below the average production
of the five years prior to 1920. Tobac-
CO will be one-third less than last
year and one-quarter less than the five
years average. The potato crop will
be smaller by 100000 bushels than
year ago, rice production will be
only a little more than half as large
as last year and apple production will
be less than half the last years crop
Wheat Shows Decline.
The wheat crop showed decline of
100000 bushels during June, win
ter wheat showing a reduction of s.
100000 bushels and spring wheat TO-
100000 bushels. Kansas winter wheat
showed improvement during the
month, as did that of Nebraska and
Oklahoma, but in Ohio, Indiana, ILL
nois and Missouri the forecasts show
ed a reduction. Every one of the i'm
portant spring wheat states showed
a reduction as compared with a month
ago.
Corn this year was in the best con-
dition it has been on July l in more
than a score of years, it being 6.5
points higher than year ago and IA
points higher than the 10-year aver
age. With favorable weather, officials
believe, the crop may surpass last
years record.

FORTY PERCENT OF PEOPLE
ARE HALF SICK HE STATES

Forty percent of the people of this
state are half sick and fully ninety
percent of these can attribute their
sufferings to stomach troubles.
Such are the main points in Garren 5
new health theory which has stirred
Milwaukee, where Mr.. Garren's re-
representatives. have been visited dur
ing the past few weeks. This is due
to modern conditions, said Garren
In an interview.
These people" he went on have
oyerworked, rundown digestive or
gans, owing TO too little exercise in
the fresh air, and too much hastily
eaten food. 1t isn't kidney trouble,
or nervousness. or liver complaint,
or dozens of other diseases invented
by imaginations.
. sound digestive apparatus that
is doing its full duty in getting every
particle of vitality out of the food
is what makes good health. Only
keep the stomach in condition, and
there is likely to be but little sickness
My medicine, Garren's Tonic, re-
stores out of whack stomachs to
normal condition and destroys chronic
constipation. Thousands of people
say this is the reason for my big
success and explains why l am at
tracing such an unusual amount of
attention all over the state

Says Found Boon to Humanity.

partmcnt OF Agriculture finds merit
in the fly-killing properties claimed
for sapi;ng grown from the seed
OF Il kentuck! coffee tree by the late
Prof. George +. Holmes, of the Uni

been sent here by the university for
n test Of the properties claimed and
with the hope that the seed will be
distributed throughout the country
to exterminate the pests.
Prof. Holmes asserted that the tree
gave off a peculiar poison fatal to
flies, and, therefore. was a boon to
humanity. He planted it in his gar
den and requested that it be dedi-
Gated as his only memorial. At the
direction Of the faculty metal plate
inscribed Holmes Tree" was fas-

Mclaurin Mentioned as Referee.

Columbia, May "a new rumor
is given strong circulation in Colum-
bia, and also in other parts Of the
State, to the effect that some proml-
nent Democrat will be recognized by
the administration as diSpenSar Of
patronage in South Carolina. The
name of John j. McLaurin, who has
been in Washington recently, is men,
toned in this connection. Press dis
patches from Washington indicate
that prominent Republican leaders in
the national capital are giving this
plan consideration. The plan is be-
ing considered because of tho dead
lock that appears to exist between
the two Republican factions in this
State.
The question has been frequently
asked here Of late, What is holding
up the appointments which have al
ready been discussed as possible? :?
Recently it was announced unofl-
cially. that Jos. w. Tolbert would be
the dispenser. but another course
now seems to be pending.

NO TRACE OF 05,0OO GIRLS.
That Many Vanished Last Year, anI
Their Fate Is II Mystery.

Washington, May 4. - Sixty-fye
thousand girls disappeared in the
United states last year without leav-
ing any trace. The great majority
were lurcd to the big cities from the
small towns and farms. They have
dropped from sight and their fate is
an unSolvcd mystery.
This story was brought to the Ma
tionnl Congress Of Mothers and Par
cnt-Teachcrs Association Congress
here with Il plea for the creation OF
central bureau to help find missing
girls. Lieut.. Catherine Van WinkIp,
Of the District Of Columbia police de-
partmcnt, told the convention that
one Of the biggest needs Of the coun-
try was to save the army Of girls who
annually are lost in the maclstrOm
Of the big cities. Police departments
and civic associations devoted to the
task are unable to cope with the sit
untion successfully, she said.
She asked the convention to take
immediate steps to create central
bureau. with auXiliaries in all parts
Of the country. for the purpose Of CO.
ordinating and enlarging the facili-
ties for tracing lost girls.
