Increased Lumber
Rates Cancelled

Washington, March 25.--The Inter
state Commerce Commission has de-
cidcd against the proposed increase
in railroad rates on lumber in carload
lots from points in Virginia, North
and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida
and Eastern Alabama to Eastern
trunk lines and New England territory
and has ordere dtheir cancellation.
These rates, which were based on
proposed abolition of the Water
Competitive" tariff on this lumber
traffic. were suspended pending inves-
tigation. Now comes the decision
turning down the increases. The case
is OF great Importance to the lumber
trade of the southeast.
In announcing its conclusion after
Il long review of the matter the in
tcrStatc commerce commission sum-
mariZeS its views as follows: 1.-The
water competitive basis of rates has
been in existence for more than TWEEN
ty years. 1t has been freely extended
over a large territory to a consider
able portion Of which there was never
any water competition and adjust
ment Of rates with competing lumber
producing territories have been made
with relation TO the water competitive
basis. While udnOubtedly water COM
petition had some influence upon re-
spondcnts original rates The present
rates and earnings hereunder do not
appear TO be unreasOnaby low. The
increases proposed are substantial.
There is no real contention on the
part Of respondents that the present
rates are unremunerative. We can
not disregard the fact that a large
percentage Of the lumber mills of the
south are closed down. While the de-
pressed condition of the lumber in
dustry would not of itself warrant Il
finding that respondents have not
justified the proposed increased rates,
respondent sare required TO show by
clear and convincing proof that the
proposed Increased rates are just and
reasonable. That has not been done
and we find that respondents have not
justified the increased rates.

Buenos Aires, Feb. 81 Correspond
ence Of The Associated Press The
cotton industry in northern Argentina
has quadrupled i'm Importance In
three years as result of aid given
to the farmers by the state railways.
in 1888 approximately $4,000
acres were planted while the 1920-2I
crop embraces an area of about 5O,-
coo acres.
The crop yield is from 1900 to L.
500 pounds per acre. according TO sta.
tistics published by the railroads, one
third OF which is fiber and the rest
seed. y gin and n cotton seed mill
have been constructed to take care oe
the crop.
The great problem OF the Argentine
cotton farmer is lack OF labor for
picking tn crop. Attmpts have been
made to use machinery for this, but
these have been reported as being only
partially successful.

Shipping Sweet Potatoes Out of South
Carolina.

Clemson College, March 26.-Soutn
Carolina is now becoming known in
the sweet potato markets of the coun-
try, and the extension service MAJ
keting agents are giving their time
and efforts toward sending out q
graded product and that we'll packed.
ventilated, and loaded for either Il
short or II long haul.
To date this season sixteen cars Of
sweet potatoes have moved out of this
state TO eastern, northern, and weS-
tern markets. Some OF these have
gone as far west as the state of Iowa.
and several have gone to points in
New York state, reports +. l.. Har-
key, extension market agent.
Most of these shipments have been
made by members of the South Caro-
lima Sweet Potato association. and
have been sold by the Southern States
Produce Distributors company, CO.
lumbia, s. c., which company has
signed sales contract with the Sweet
Potato Association. Potatoes ship
ped by members of the association
bear the brand "Sugarspuds, South
Carolina Sweet Potato Association,
main office, Florence, s. c."
The grading and loading Of one or
more cars at each shipping point has
been made a demonstration of proper
grading and loading by an extension
service market agent. and in several
instances great saving has been ef-
fectcd for the shipper.
Sweet potatoes are a very perish
able product and have never received
in this state the proper handling to
which they are entitled, since they
had not been shipped from this state
in car lots until last season. 1t is
therefore necessary that every ship

assistance offered by the Extension

Will Our Farmers Reduce The Cotton
Acreage?
(By w. W. Long, Director.D

Wy '" W. i<oliS, DlIcClOT.)
Clemson College. March 26.-Not
since the early 90s have the cotton
farmers been so perplexed and de-
moraiized as they are today. At that
time cotton was selling for 6 10 3
cents pound. 1t was most difficult
TO secure credit at anything like a
reasonable rate. The banks in the
state could be counted on your two
hands. great nu~aber of our farm
lers of today remember those condi-
tiohs ana they are reasoning with
themselves about as follows:t
Il have made cotton at cents
II pound and made some little mon
ey. j am going to make this crop on
the basis of and 10 cents a pound
for the reason that ] am not going TO
purchase anything for myself or my
tenants that l can do without 1 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. it
| is absolutely necessary for my tenants
to produce a crop that they can read
| lily sell for cash, otherwise they will
leave me-"
With these thoughts in their minis
and in their state of perpiexity with
| the little more favorable news TINT
! is now being printed in the press In
reference TO higher prices that may
be expected from cotton, fear that q.
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 great
deal OF land is being prepared for
Gotten 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 cents n
pound this fall, and that a six
million bale crop under these circum-
stances will bring in more money
| than twelve million bale crop.
We will have on July /, 1921, a
4
cotton. This surplus will in a great
measure have to be consumed by
foreign countries. We must ap-
preciate the conditions in Europe as
far from being normal. The armies
of Great Britain, France and Bel
gium are invading Germany. Peace
seems TO be i'm 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
Il six million bale crop holds out
some hope that our agricultural in
terests may in the near future be
placed on a safe and sound basis; q
ten or twelve million bale crop
means continuation of present con-
ditions.

Coffee Bean CRATER

Columbia, Morch 25.--The coffee
bean" agent has been at work in sew
eral parts OF South Carolina, accord
ing to j. Rhett Clark, farm demon
stration agent for Richland county,
and in many sections farmers have
been ''stung," contracts having been
signed in many cases.
The coffee bean agent is one who
offers the farmers bean, called the
coffee bean. which he always says
will net them big profits. He offers to
sell the beans at s25 bushel and TO
buy back that are produced at Sc per
bushel. Mr.. Clark says the bean has
no economic value and persons sign
ing such contracts are the losers.
