FOREIGN TRADE
SUFFERS LOSS.
Americas Business is Hit
Hard by Depression

Washington, Nov. 5.-American
foreign trade for the fiscal year
which ended June 80, suffered in
common with the general world
depression, according to an analy-
sis issued tonight by the COM
merce department. The department
however found the great decline IN
value from the previous year to be
due in a large degree to fall IN
prices rather than in quantities.
The country's total foreign trade
for the fiscal year 1922 was So
379, 900, 600, Of which S2,60S,90o.-.
600 was in imports and S3,?7l,-
100000 exports compared with
s10,176, 900, ,0G0 the previous year
divided between s3,654.ooo.ooo of
imports and Sc, SIC, 100000 OF the
exports. The nations favorable
trade balance for 1922 was only
slightly over $1,000, 100000 as
against nearly s3,O00,Go0,ooo the.
previous year.
4 Decreasing exports Of raw cot
ton were attributed by the depart
ment to various causes, chiefly
short production but partially to
the steady increase in cotton man
sufactures. in this country. Exports
Of agricultural produce, the de-
partnent estimated, comprised 10,
per cent of the entire crop value
on the farm, while exports of man
ufactured goods were less than
per cent Of the country's predue-
ton.
This last fact the department
declared, has much to do with
our ability to shake loose from
European economic currents in the
manufacturing industries. and with
the strengthening Of employment
in our home industries, we will, no
doubt increase home consumption
in agricultural products"

The Living Wage. Eanacy.
(Greensboro NeWs) :.


The railway labor board has
once more had occasion to take a
fall out of the living wage" pro-
posal. This viciously fallacious ar
guments may yet be the means Of
bringing organized labor into such
disrepule with the rest Of the
country, especially with the farm
ers. as to wreck its present pro-
gram and set back its progress by
decades. The agricultural bloc is
at present the most powerful single
group in congress. If it swings
definitely against organized labor,
it can and will play the wild with
the aspirations Of labor, even the
legitimate ones.
The farmer knows, just as the
railway labor board knows, that no
man is entitled to a living. wage, or
any other wage, until he has earn
ed it: and he cannot earn it by
doing half days work. Some Ia
Dor leaders are making preach
ments which amount 10 an asser-
ton that the laborer confers an
inestirable boon upon the world
merely by living in it, and that the
least that world can do in return
is to provide him with q comfort
able living. whether he works for
ii or not. These leaders have
perverted the doctrine OF the living
wage from its original presump-
ton. viz. that every man is en-
titled to a fair Tsturn from his Ia
Dor and that any industry in which
dividends take so large share Of
the profits that the workers nee
essary to keep the industry going
cannot live on the rest Of an un-
sound industry, into the entirely
different assumption that the pro-
fits of every industry must be di
vided among as many members of
labor unions us they Will support,
regardless of whether or not so
many workers are really needed
to do the wor. of that particular
industry.

Kill NEXT YEARS WEEyILs,
NOW.
Destroy Cotton Stalks Thoroughly
And Clean the Fields Well.

Clemson College, Nov. 4.-Clean-
ing Of the fields. the destruction. OF
the stalks, and the planting Of cover
crops constitute the most powerful
weapons for weevil fighting now in
the hands of the farmer, says Prof.
A. T. Conradi, Entomologist,. who
says that by efficient fail farm man
agement the farmer can dictate to
great extent how many weeyils
shall pass the winter. on the farm.
Though much warning has al
ready been given by the entonasl-
ogists, and though county agents
are preaching stalk destruction
right and left, many farmers are
apparently not convicned of the
need for immediate stalk destruc-
ton, says Prof. Conradi, and do not
realize that this is practically the
most important single step in any
system OF fighting the weevil.
Boil weeviis multiply in cotton
until frost kills it. Many thousands
OF weevil may occur in eacn acre
OF cotton. Weevils hibernate, that
is they pass the winter, only in the
full grown stage. Hibernation usu-
ally begins with the coming Of the
first killing frost. They hibernate
principally in cotton fields, and
standing stalks make for. them
splendid winter homes.
The most favorable condition.
therefore, for the successful hiber-
nation for boil weeyils is found in
fields where the cotton stalks,
grass. weeds, dead leaves. ETC., are
left during the winter. Under such
conditions the farmers may ex.
pect the greatest number of weevils
to survive the winter. There is lit-
tie -prospect for successful cotton
growing under such conditions. =
The earlier the cotton stalks are
destroyed, the fewer the; weevils
that will survive the winter, and
consequently the smaller the dam
age to the next crop. AS far as
possible. the stalks should be de-
stroyed two weeks before the first
killing frost.
In some sections the stalks are
uprooted. piled and burned. This
method is a very serious disadvan-
tase in destroying a large amount
Of vegetable matter which should
be turned under. Whenever the
farmer is equipped with piows and
mules so that the stalks may be
turned tlnder five to six inches af-
ter they have been cut down with
the chopper, it is very effective
plan: A less effective method is to
Craze off all green cotton within a
period OF a few days Whatever
method one employs, the destruc-
ton Of stalks must be thorough.
The following are a few Of the
many advantages secured from
cleaning the fields and destroying
the stalks.
/. A great many full grown
weeviIs are killed outright.
z. Many young stages IN the
plants are killed.
The fulH grown weevils not killed
are weakened by starvation if the
stalks are destroyed two to three
weeks before. the first frost and
these will not have sufficient
strength to pass the winter sue
cessfully.
4. The removal of the stalks
facilitates fall plowing and the
planting Of cover crops.
3 This fail cleaning program
is also of the greatest benefit ganer-
ally in destroying the winter homes
and the winter food plants of 9TH
er injurious pests Of the farm.

Johnsonvillc, Aug. 1.-THE Tobacco
Growers Association opened it's house
here today to receive tobacco under
contract at this point. Several mem
bers have brought in tobacco under
this new system and are trying it OUT
today. They are receiving approxi-
mately one-third the market value as
the first payment or the cash advance,
The remainder will be paid out as
the different grades of tobacco are
sold. In the meantime each member
receives participating certificate
for the tobacco delivered. It is hard
to ten how this new system is 90
ing to suit the farmers as it seems
that many of them were under the
impression that the tobacco would
be sold the day it was delivered to
the warehouse. However the next

edges knocked Off and it is thought
That after the farmers get more
familiar with the system that thew
will like it better.

The careful and thorough grad
ing of each piece as it passed

graders on every market was the

Complete satisfaction was ex-
pressed by the great majority of
growers, who were greatly i'm
pressed by the orderly system of
marketing and the first cash adj
vances paid today. The first adj
Vances on all grades were well
come surprise to most of the grow
ers, and ranged from $15.75 to $1.2O.
