SMITH GIVES PLAN
FOR WEEVIL YEARS
CONTINUED from page /, column A.

waited land in the whole country to-
supply the truck needed and produc-
tion is easily overdone. Peaches for
the outstanding farmers with suit
able conditions are advisable. There
is room for an annual S5,000,0O0
peach industry in this state yet un-
developed.
These statements may seem dog
matte. but they are based on numer-
Gus farm management surveys and
cost of production studies made in
the cotton belt and other parts of the
United States and nearly two years
work spent in investigating systems
of boil weeyil farming on sandy and
sandy loam soils in the south, par
ticularly in the southern part of
Alabama and Georgia. Economic up
heavels, such as are likely to occur
at any time, may throw things so diff
ferently as to change the probable
future system of farming, but with
conditions back at normal again,
farming in lower South Carilina will
develop along the lines have out
lined. This being what I believe the
future holds forth it is, of course,
what l would advice the farmers to
undertake and thereby avoid costly
mistakes."

ion on the basis of property currently
'etired from service.
In the boards valuation report,

corporation is loo per cent efficient
there should be no deduction for de-
probation unless capital 10 the amount

its value of the physical property Of
$~70.00U,000 only considered the first
appraisal made by Professor Anderson
and myself, using prices prevailing in

board made deductions which were alb

The cost of reproducing the physical
