Cause of Appendicitis

When the bowels are constipated, the
lower bowels or large intestines become
packed with refuse matter, that is made
up largely of germs. These germs en-
ter the vermiform appendix and set up
inflammation, which is commonly known
as appendicitis. Take Chamberlain 8
Tablets when needed and keep your
bowels regular and you have little to
fear from appendicitis.

Interesting Food Statistics.

A recent investigation conducted
by B. b. Hare, Agricultural Statisti-
clan of the Bureau of Crop Estimat-
es, United States Department of Ag-
riculture. relative to food require
ments in South Carolina, shows the
following average quantities of food
stuffs consumed per person per
month: IL pounds of flour; pounds
or pork (eaten or utilized in cook
ing); 3 pounds of other meat "A
pounds of sugar (including that
! used in cooking, canning, preserving
fruits, etc.; 16 eggs; gallons of
milk (including cream and whole
MILK
1t is observed from the report that
80 per cent of the wheat flour con-
sumed last year was grown within
the State, while SO per cent of the
meat, 80 per cent of the vegetables
and Sc per cent of milk and butter
consumed were produced within it's
borders.
1t appears that each person within
the State consumes an average of
1872 pounds of flour annually There
fore, if we have a population of L.
100000 1T will require approximate
ly 5,500,000 bushels of wheats to sup
ply our yearly needs. The total pro-
duction for the State in 1920 has
been estimated at 1,7S5, 900 bushels,
Cr about 100000 bushels less
than our annual requirements
The average pork requirements
per person is shown to be about S4
pounds annual ly In other words it
will require 1 hog netting 16S lbs
to supply the needs of two persons
each year or it will take about S45,-
0o0 of such hogs to meet the States
annual requirements. However.
should the hogs net $50 pounds each
the number could be reduced to
about 100000. 1t would be of inter
est to know which would be more
economical for the state as whole,
to raise 100000 hogs netting $50
pounds or $4,000 hogs of 16S
pounds each.
Further observations made from
this investigation are to the effect
that the average distance of all farms
in the State from market is approx
inately miles, and the average size
load from farm to market is 1879
pounds, the average size load from
market to farm being 1922 pounds.
The average number of days spent
annually per farm in hauling produce
fertilizers, etc, to and from market
is estimated at 27 days, or little
less than per cent of all work days.
The total number of motor trucks in
the State used exclusively for farm
purposes is estimated at 1888 and
the number of farm tractors at g.
.956.
Mr.. Hare states that another in
tcresting feature Of the investiga-
ticn. as shown by the :abulation of a
large number of reports of farmers
from all sections of the State, is that
only SO per cent of the amount of
commercial fertilizers used in 1920
will be used i'll 1921. However, a
very large percentage Of the last
years crop of cotton seed Will not be
sold or exchanged for fertilizers. as
has been the practice heretofore, but
will be put back on the farm from
which they were obtained.

WILL OUR FARMERS REDUCE
THE COTTON ACREAGE
(BV w w Long Diractor

(By w. w. Long, DIRECTORY
Clemson College, March 4.-Not
since the early COS have the cotton
farmers been so perplexed and de-
moralized as they are today. AT that
time cotton wa selling for 6 to 8
cents pound. II wac most difficult
to secure credit at anything like a
reasonable rate. The banks IN the
State could be counted on your two
hands. y great number of our farm
ers OF today remember those condi-
tions and they are reasoning with
themselves about as follows:
Il have made cotton at cents
pound and made some little money.
L am going to make this crop on the
basis of and 10 cents a pound for
the reason that l am not going to
purchase anything for myself or my
tenants that / can do without l am
going to practice the most rigid
economy. Cotton is the only crop that
| can grow that will bring in any
money for myself or my tenants. 1t
Is absolutely necessary 70 my ten
ants to produce crop that they can
readily sell for cash, otherwise they
will leave me-
With these thoughts in their minds
and in their state of perplexity with
the little more favorable news that
is now being printed in the press in
reference to higher prices that may
be expected from cotton, l fear that a
great many of our farmers will be
tempted at the last moment not to
reduce their cotton acreage as much
as they had intended to do some
thirty or sixty days ago. Any one
travelling in the Piedmont will be
impressed with the fact that q great
deal of land is being prepared for
cotton and, owing to weather condi-
tions, the preparation is of a most
excellent character that will have a
decided effect on production.
To my mind there is only one
answer to the arguments of some of
our farmers as above set forth and
that argument should be driven
home on every occasion; namely,
that ten or twelve million bale crop
will most likely sell for 5 cents a
pound this fall, and that six
million bale crop under these circum-
stances will bring in more money
than a twelve million bale crop.
We will have on July l, 1921, a
surplus of nine million bales of
cotton This surplus will in a great
measure have to be consumed by
foreign countries. We must APP
preciate the conditions in Europe as
far from being normal. The armies
of Great Britain, France and Bel
GUM are invading Germany. Peace
seems to be in the distant future and
until peace Is declared and the pur-
chasing power of the people in
Europe is restored in a measure, cot
ton will of necessity not be in de-
mand, and any Surplus that may
exist will have greater influence on
the market at this time than at a
time when ordinary and normal con-
ditions prevail. The production of
a six million bale crop holds out
some hope that our agricultural in
terests may in the near future. be
plaled on safe and sound basis; n
ten or twelve million bale crop
means a continuation of present con-
ditions.

The figures are available. They
serve to remind parents that a great
deal depends on how seriously the
child takes school duties, and how
well he or she 'keeps up during the
early years of school: 1t is the boy
o. girl whose class standing Is good
who deveiopes an ambition to be we'll
educated, and the reverse of that is
true-those who fall behind and fail
to win promotions find school work
drudge and take advantage of the
earliest opportunity TO drop out al
together. To be educated is becom-
ing more and more valuable. The
right sort of education in so far as
schools are really capable of edu-
eating is apt to be the one that is
started right. 1t is we'll, therefore,
to bear the Bureau of Education's
figures in mind.
