HAMER TALKS.
TO FARMERS

outlines plan, purposes and objects
oI proposed South Carolina Cotton
Growers Cooperative organization.
Ihe plan of this proposed organi-
cation is essentially the same as the
California organizations which have
proved their worth to the fruit grow
ers OF that state. The organization in
this state differs from the California
organizations in that we have nom
pershable commodity to handle in
stead OF perishable products. Five cot
ton states have already perfected or
ganizations of this kind and four of
THESE state organizations are selling
TINS years crop for their farmer mem
!. bers.t
The present system of marketing
cotton is absolutely wrong, and the
people are disgusted with it. Less
than 10 per cent of the cotton produc-
ers know what grade and staple they
nave when they go to sell. 1t is abso-
'lutely essential to know what we have
/. before we can market it inteligently.
1.-the present plan is wrong, the thing
: 70 do. is to get better plan. A bet
ter plan is a business plan for, sell
ing cotton. Everywhere business
farmers are indorsing this cooperative
plan of marketing. The farmers bus
mess is, production and he should have
ms own expert marketing agents to
do his selling.
An organization of this kind can Sc
cure adequate finances to carry on its
business. This year the organizations
I'm Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona and Mis-
from the Federal Reserve Banks, War
Finance Corporation and some of the
large banks in N. Y. City. These in
(. stitutions consider farm organizations
of this kind good business risks. Not
only have good business farmers in
dorsed this plan but leading bankers
and business men consider it the best
movement on record. j have signed
the contract, and 1 recommend it to
every other cotton farmer in South
Carolina. However, / urge you to con-
slider the plan very carefully before
signing;
tions Preceding organization has
shown the necessity of following GER
Organize by commodity and not
by communities.
q Pooling of cotton and. selling in
large even running lots. ~.

Farming Under Boil
Weevil Conditions

Clemson College, Nov. 12.-"Farm-
ing Under Boil Wecvil Conditions" is
the title of EXtepsion Bulletin 4S, pre-
pared by the Extension Service of
Clemson College and now ready for
distribution. The publication is be-

conditions and is full of infof1natid.i,
instruction and suggestion for farm
crs iii regard to best farm practices
II the presence of the boil wearii.
Calling attention to the fact tat
South Carolina is now having to face
The same conditions which other
Southern States have faced one after
another in the onward march of the
boil wecvil, the publication stresses,
first of all, the Importance Of learn
ing thoroughly the new methods and
practices for successful farming un-
der new conditions; and urges that
since there IS no single crop which
promises to take the place of cotton
as our main money crop and no COM
bination of crops which can be recon-
illcIuCN W XII SilllNt, oNt ldlflSIS IluSI
expect to continue to grow cotton and
should undertake the growing of new
money crops only on a conservative
scale, as plunging in new untried
crops will bring on problems as hard
to solve as are the problems of grow
ing cotton under boil weevil condi-
tions.
The first section of the bulletin is
given to a discussion of recommen-
dations for cotton production, with at
tcntion to such important matters as
stalk destruction, and other cleanup
work, thorough preparation of the
land, planting of improved varieties,
judicious fc:tilizing, rapid cultivation,
collection of wccvils and punctured
squares, and the use of winter cover
crops. These various subjects are dis
cussed in the light of the experience
Of cotton farmers in other weevil-m-
tested states.
The second section discusses the
question Of making the farm self sup
porting in order that the cotton grown
may be in the nature of surplus
money crop. Stress is laid upon the
production of staple food and feed
crops for landlord, tenant, and live
stock; provision for good all-year
home garden and a good home or
chard; provision for enough dairy
cows and poultry to supply all the
families on the farm; and the con-
servaIive development of the hog
dairying and beef cattle industries to
| fit into a well balanced diversified
| farming.
The third section, devoted to sys.
tematic soil-building, discusses croy
rotations with specific recommenda
tions for the several sections of tn,
state, summer legumes, winter cove,
crops, drainage and terracing, and tn,
judicious use of lime, livestock ma
nures and commercial fertilizers.
Brief suggestions are made in tn
latter part of the bulletin concernin,
the adjustment of contracts betweei
landlords and tenants to meet ney
conditions; cooperative effort in pro
| duction, standardization and market
, ing of farm crops; and the need O
; specific county programs of saf
, farming by each county in the state.

EAT LESS AND TAKE
SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Take glass Of Salts before breakfast
If your Back hurts or Bladder
bothers you

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trouble,
because we eat too much and all our food
is rich. Our blood is filled with uric
acid which the kidneys strive to filter
out, they weaken from overwork, become
sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and
the result is kidney trouble, bladder
weakness and general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel Like Jumps OF
lead; your back hurts or the urine ia
cloudy, full of sediment or you are
Obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night; if you suffer with sick
headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid
stomach, or you have rheumatism when
the weather is bad, get from your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass OF
water before breakfast for G few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys;
to neutralize the acids in the urine so it
no longer is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts ia inexpensive; cannot in
jure, makes a delightful efferVescent
Whitewater beverage, and belongs In
every home, because nobody can make
a mistake by having q good kidney flush
ing any time.

or less examined into since then. In
1916 there was so much OF it in the
affected sections OF Utah that the pub
lie health service was asked for aid,
but at that time it was not possible to
send any scientists. The service never
has enough men to go around. Alter
the war the requests for help were re-
newed and DIR. Edward Francis, one of
the specialists on bugs" in the ?. H.
S. was sent to Utah. He has spent a
part of two years there and his report
is regarded as conclusive.
He has shown that other blood-suck-
ing insects, such as the stable fly, the
louise, the bedbug and others act as
carriers for the bug" of the deer fly
sickness. The importance OF this is that
if it ever leaves its present range it has
lot Of handy helpers to give it a
lift. In many respects the bacilli re-
semble that OF the plague. The disease
which has for years ravaged the ground
squirrels of California is related to the
deer fly disease, or is the same thing,
but no case is on record of this disease
ever having attacked human being.
AS there is no way of curing the dis
ease the public health service has con-
sidered the question Of preventing it.
So far but one plan has presented it
self. That is to get rid of every jack
rabbit in the affected districts OF Utah.
In that way it may be the world may
one OF these days be saved from de-
vastating scourge.

SILK STOCKINGS MADE
FROM SAND IS LATEST
Cost Will Be Less Than One-Fourth
Of Present Kind.

PARIS.-Silk stockings made from
ordinary sand is the latest invention
of Michael Roiboul, young Russian en-
gineer with a small fortune, who estab-
lished laboratory in Paris: Roiboul
asserts that by combining silica with
other ingredients he has succeeded in
creating "a material which can be Woy-
en- as easily as the choicest silks, while
the cost will be less than one-fourth
By increasing the quantity of silica
used non-infammable films for cine
mas can be produced or even huge
blocks of rock crystal, which will bring
the cost of construction of cottages
within the limits of ordinary laborers.
Naturally some objection is seen to
living in glass houses, but Roiboul be-
lieves this can be overcome by adding
coloring matter which will produce a
product as durable as steel not costing
more than five cents a pound.
