Tobacco Growers to Make
Protest.

Florence, July 21.-An indigna-
ton. mass meeting of all the tobacco
growers of the South Carolina belt
will be held'in Florence at IL o'clock
Friday morning, to protest against
the low prices being paid for to-
bacco. 7. Benton Young, secretary
of the South Carolina Tobacco asso-
citation, called the meeting after he
had received requests from practical
ly all the markets of this section, to
take some action. Dissatisfaction Over
the situation has been growing since
the 10Th, when the markets opened.
The farmers. are demanding that
something be done to protect their in
terests. Marion, Mullins, Kingstree,
Lake City, Manning, Hemingway,
Sumter and other markets today call
ed Mr.. Young over the long distance
telephone and said they would have
strong delegations at the meeting to-
morrow. Mr.. Young has been busy all
day today answering. queries from
individual farmers as to what could
be done. He regards the situation as
serious. present prices are not pay
ing the cost of productions" he said
today, 'ssand this is particularly dis
,tressing in view of the presentSdire'
need for money. and'the proper re-
turn on farm products"
1t was reported here today that
several markets had called off sales
on the opening date and since be-
cause of the low prices. Some of
those who have continued to sell de-
clare there is no competition among
thebuyers, and that representatives
of tobacco companies have not yet
even received buying instructions.
All phases of the situation will be re-
viewed at the meeting tomorrow.

Census Figures for Charleston.

Washington, July 21.-The bureau
of the census, department of COM
merce, has issued preliminary gen.
eral occupation statistics for Charles
ton, which, though subject to change,
are probably approximately correct.
The number of persons engaged in
each particular occupation will prob
ably not be announced until the tab
ulation of the occupations data, now
in progress, has been completed. This.
will be about July 1, 1922.
According to the returns of the
18th census, there were 32,205 per-
sons ten years of age and over in
Charleston engaged in gainful occu-
pations in 1920, constituting Ala
per cent of the total population of
the city (67,95z) and 1913 per cent
of the population ten years OF age
and over. In 1910 the 28,453 gainful
workers were 48.4 per cent of the
total population of the city and 59.6
per cent of the population ten years
of age and over.
Of the gainful workers of Charles
ton in 1920, 21,662 or 67.3 per cent,
were males and 10,543 of 1927 per
cent, were females. The male gain
full workers constituted 81 per cent,
of all males ten years of age and
over in 1920, as against S1.6 per
cen. in 1910, while the female gain
full workers constituted 36.5 per cent
of all females ten years OF age and
over in 1920, as against ALL per cent
in 1910.
Of the gainful workers Of Charles
ton in 1920, 1O,32o, or 80 per cent,

in the Cotton
Situation.

While no man can more than guess
at the trend of the cotton market and
Farm & Ranch would not presume to
az. Use in the matter, it is safe to say
that all signs point to a better mar
ket for good staple this fall and win
ter than we have at this time. The
situation is more bullish than bearish.
The reduction in acreage indicates
about a 10000 900 bale crop. Reduc-
ton in the use of fertilizer and more
than the usual supply of boil weevils
leads one to believe that the total
crop will fall far under present indi-
cations. Again, the German mills are
being financed and other European
countries r very apt to increase
consumption, and if they do, the
worlds supply will not appear nearly
as large as it did a few months ago.
Statisticians said, awhile back,
that the worlds carry-over would be
around 100000 bales. They we're
counting bales, not spinnable cotton.
No one believes that there will be
100000 bales of good carry over
or anywhere near that amount. At
any rate it behooves cotton growers
to cultivate well and to grow and
save as much cotton as they are able.
AS long as you have planted cotton,
save what you can.-Farm & Ranch.

The dairyman's cream checks for a
given month amounted to 1882, the
cream being obtained from a herd Of
q cows. One year later, after doing
~herd-record work, he was able with
a herd Of % cows, just n more than
he had at the earlier date, to sell
cream to the value Of S223.60, or
ly three times as much-a pretty good
return for care given to culling the
herd and improving the management.
While the current prices for butter
fat have increased somewhat, they
have not trebled in a year, so it is
obvious that there has been a large In
crease in the productiveness OF the
herd.

DAIRY RECORD QUITE USEFUL
Profitable Practice to Keep Daily Tab

Keeping daily records of the milk

COW testing association, is a profitable
practice. This is shown by reports on
herd records received by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
An instance where a herd has been

ment of the labor problem. For ages the peasant
has been perssting in his question and the noble
has been trying to make an answer that would
stick
His first answer was perhaps as good as any;

for many century. But it never fully satisfied
Othels had 10 be trumped up 10 supplement it. By

make the peasant accept Cavanistic view Of his
fate But these did not satisfy. The peasant
learned 10 call his feeling aspiration instead of
coyeousness, and rejected the theory that he was
doomed by the Nazarene to poverty. The next
answer was a lie harder 10 meet. Il know how,
but you don't" That. however, has finally been
overcome by the free school system If the aver
age abo.ing man today is not as wise as the aver

"A is A NATURAL TREE STATE


Florida is natural tree country, having more
kinds of native trees than any other part of the
United States, says the State Marketing Bureau
This argues in favor OF more attention being given
to the home fruit garden, which should be an adj
junc of every farm, and fruit nut-bearing trees
should have place on every town lot
The development of the commercial fruit in
terests of the country has resulted in neglect
OF the growing of fruit trees on small scale, as
is possible everywhere, especially in Florida. The
large commercial interest in fruit growing has
been the outgrowth of the perseverng efforts of
those whose fruit gardens showed possibilities
and served to demonstrate the best local va
rietes
Fortunately our state now has many fine
series, and some of them issue very comprehen-
sive catalogues, indeed they are regular guides
to the work Many varieties OF fruit trees, in
Guiding peaches and figs, bear early, and any
home owner who will give his trees reasonable
always have plenty to eat in a fresh
form and for preserving.
The growing of fruit is pleasant and health
full employment, and nothing else contributes
more to the esthetic side of life as we'll as to the
health of the family, and to profit, than proper
attention to fruit trees.
The lack of fruit gardens the farm and
ABOUT TOWN. anu SUBURBAN MONIES IS IG&fCLaDlC.
Not only fruit trees are absent but berries

found on every farm and every fair sized
suburban home lot.
