State Crop Statistics

Saluda March 22.-According to lie.
port of B. B. Hare. agricultural sta
tiscian for the Bureau of Crop EST.
mates, United States Department Of
Agriculture, there remained on farms
in South Carolina of the last years
corn crop on March l, approximately
22,500.0OO bushels, the quantity on
corresponding date of last year being
17,220,000 bushels. The amount re-
manning on farms in the entire Unit
ed States on March 1 was 1,572, ,397,-
900 bushels, or 501,000,000 bushels
more than on the corresponding date
Of 1920.
The average value of poor plow
lands in the state on March l, is re-
ported at S32 per acre, which is 50
Fer acre less than on March /, 1920.
The average value of good plow lands
was S6S per acre as compared with
$50 last year, the average for all plow
lands beng $50 per acre, as against
SCI last year.
The report shows the average casE
rental paid for plow fields in the state
last year was So per acre, the average
market value of such fields being S45
per acre. 1t would appear, therefore,
that the average value of rented lands
is about 10 per cent less than the av-
erage value of all plow lands.
Speaking of the present agricultur-
al outlook Mr.. Hare states that one
of his crop reporters has summed up
the situation as follows:
The agricultural outlook is the
gloomiest since the early COS Farm
labor supply is about normal, but the
farmer cannot use this proftably for
the reason that it is cotton fed labor.
and the outlook for cotton is zoo dan
gerous on account of the low price of
the staple, cost of fertilizers, boil
weevil menace and inadequate finan-
COS. Credit resources were PRACTICAL!
exhausted last year, and the 1920 crop
barely paid half the expenses. Henca,
there is likelihood Of a very little
cash or credit supply from banks,
and merchants having exhausted
their financial resources will not be
able to cut any figure in the rinanc-
ing problem.

Easter at Cades

Cades, March 29.-The community
Easter program held in the Cades
Baptist church was enjoyed by large
crowd last Sunday. The beautiful
decorations, the songs, the recitations,
and the appropriate talk of Prof. NJ.
F. Montgomery reminded all of the
solemnity of the the hour and gave
to each a truer conception of Easter.
Credit is also due to Mr.. D. ]. Kir-
ton, superintendent of the Baptist
Sunday school, and to others who as
sisted in making the program sue
cess.
Mr.. Montgomery's talk was not only
impressive, but also clear and logical,
and showed that he was imbued with
the spirit of which he spoke. Mr..
Montgomery said Before Christ as
cended to heaven, he gave this final
charge to his diciples, GO ye there
fore, and teeach all nations There
are three places to teacll-il the
home; in the school; and in the church
The home does not come up to the
spiritual standard that it should, nor
are we taught the word of God today
in the home as were our fathers. We
should have no other teacher than a
Christian in our schools. AS the child
is under the influence of the teacher
during so much of his or her time, is
it not essential that we should have
a Christian teacher? The church is
not playing the role of a teacher it
should. A duty befalls US as indivi-
duals to do our share in the teaching
of Christ's doctrine"
The program is as follows:
Song by children, Beautiful Morn
ing; Song by audience, "Christ
Arose; Recitation, "The Easter
Time; "Song of Easter" five girls;
Song by choir, "The Joy of Easter
Morning.; "The Lcrd is Risen In

HEED THIS WARNING

The south. burdened with crush
ing load staggers on the verge of all
abyss. In many respects the situa-
tioon is more appalling than that fol-
lowing the Civil war. Then, the war
which was fought in the cotton fields
of the southland. left the world bare
of cotton. There was hope of reward
in cotton growing. The World war
was fought in the great factory dis
tricts of the world, crippling their
spindles, destroying productive power.
An enormous surplus of cotton has ac-
cumulated. There is no hope that the
man who grows cotton during the
next twelve months will be rewarded
he may but further depreciate the
value of cotton already in the bale, he
may labor long and diligently and
if he cannot sell his cotton he cannot
pay taxes or debts with it, neither
can he eat it.
Cotton has declined in value, until
thre has been loss of a billion dol
lars on the 1920 crop. Cotton, the
south's chief commodity, has ceased
to be cash article. Quoted values
are far below the cost of production.
There is little demand for cotton a:
prices even below quotations.
If this condition is aggravated by
further Increasing the supply Of cot
ton it will mean utter destruction to
farming and to the commercial and
financial existence of the south.
Years, more than generation per-
haps, will be required for recovery.
A convention of farmers, merchants
and bankers was held at Memphis
early in December. There was more
than 1900 delegates present, represent
every cotton growing state. Plans were
adopted to prevent, if possible, further
over-production, and thus to avert dis
aster. A campaign urging the ne
cessity for acreage reduction, and
stressing the vital Importance of pro-
Quoting enough feed and food stuffs
for home needs, is now being waged.
We feel warranted in saying that aG-
herence to the plan adopted at Mem
phis will insure against heavy loss on
the 1921 crop, if it does not actually
enhance the value of cotton now on
hand. Furthermore it will place
farming and financial and commercial
enterprises of the south on basis So
fundamentally sound, it may DC hoped,
that forever there will be reoccurence
of the ghastly conditions that now
prevail.
The County Record appeals to the
good sense and business judgment
of Williamsburg farmers not to plant
more than 80 per cent. of their usual
crop of cotton. Another 13,000,0OO
bale crop means bankruptcy for the
south. Heed the warning.

SAFE CRACKER GETS
 LITTLE FOR HARD ' WORK IN ROBBERY

Two robberies in Kingman last night totalled five or six dollars in money and a few dollars in stamps. Both were probably pulled by the same man or men and both were oil companies, the Standard and the Union. At the Union Oil Company office they smashed the door in, rifled the cash drawer and then worked the combination on the safe. They made a haul of about two dollars and a half and some stamps. Some four hundred dollars worth of coupons were left untouched.
 At the Standard they broke in from the railroad side. There was no safe there and they made a haul of about the same amount as at the Union from the cash drawer. The greater offense there was the taking of a large number of keys.

ARIZONA TO SUPPLY :. . WASHINGTON CO.'S
 WOOD AND TIMBER

The King bill, which passed the senate of the United States some time ago granting the right to the people of Washington and Kane counties, Utah, to cut and take wood and tim Der from Mohave and Coconino coun- ties, Arizona, for domestic and other uses, has been formerly reported to the house. This measure was sought by the people living in southern Utah, where wood and timber is scarce, and who were prevented by the laws of the United States from going into neighboring states for their fuel and timber supply. Coai is costly to the southern Utahns, having to be hauled by team more than 100 miles, and the nearest wood is 16 miles distant from St. George. There are thous- ands of acres of land in the northern strip" that will be made available should the law be amended, as pro- vided in the King Bill. Mohave coun- ty has no objection to the measure; in fact, our people would be pleased to see our Utah neighbors get all the fuel and timber to supply their needs from our plenteous supply. South of the Utah line is one of the most magnificent forests of pine timber in the west, while just over the line the county is barren of forest. Arizona's congressman, Hon. Carl Hayden, has been active in supporting the measure and it is partly due to his efforts that the bill has been favorably received.
