The Crop Balance

The American corn crop this
season is valued at more thar
81. .000. .00O, 900. So is the cotton
crop. So is the hay crop. The
wheat crop, of which so much is
made, is inferior to all of this
royal trio. but should bring three
quarters Of, ! billion. The value
Of al agricultural crops together
is estimated at $1,000. 600, 900,
which may look small compared
with time valuations. but is q
billion and q quarter larger than
last year.
That extra billion and u quarter,
put into circulation, is going TO
be one Of the biggest factors in
re tablishing American prosper
ity after the sad slump of the last
gear or two. That is-if the
farmers are able to market their
products ct the estimated prices.

A Billion Dollar War.

There is a war on which does not
deserve the attention of the Hague
Tribunal, the League of Nations or
any other body which concerns itself
with producing peace. It is the Bill
lion Dollar War, the war between
the princes of the tractor industry,
Mr.. Ford and Mr.. Mccormick.
We call it the Billion Dollar War
because the combined resources OF
the international Harvester Company
and the Ford interests must easily
reach that large round figure.
General Ford was the aggressor.
He crossed the frontier two weeks
ago, cutting the price of his tractors
from $625 to 1896. Last week the
Harvester Company reduced the price
of it's tractors $3.50 and offered to
throw in free, a three furrow plow
or a tractor disk harrow with each
purchase.
Mr.. Ford says his aim is to sell a
million tractors a year. Harold Nc
Cormick, who has put grand opera
aside for the time being and is sing
ing the song of business, tells his
staff that the Harvester Company
must outsell Ford.
Consider the dazzled farmer. He
stops sorting seed corn and watches
the battle. of the giants. Every gun
fired shoots money into his pocket
| He will not attempt to arbitrate. He
will pick tie tractor which suits his
needs and his purse.
A war like this may be hard or
the treasury Of Ford or McCorm-
ick, but it is a good thing for the
country. Reduced prices mean big
ger sales. Bigger sales mean busy
factories and fewer unemployed. The
money comes from the farmer, and
after passing through two or three
hands, goes back to him. Tractors
solve the farmland problem. Trac-
tors result in diversified crops. Trac-
tors mean bigger production of food
and more to eat for everybody at
Fower prices. The increase use OF
tractors stimulates the iron and oil
business.
If Mr.. Ford and Mr.. Mccormick
can stand the war, who shall deprive
them of their pleasure?

Cooperation in Virginia.

At meeting of the Virginia Co.
operative Sheep and Wool Growers
Association held at Lynchburg Feb
ruary II, the reports of tire business
done during the past year indicate
that the growers, by pooling their
product, had received 8 cents a pound
more for their wool than they would
have received had they not sold it
CO. operatively. The wool in the 1921
pool came largely from 13 counties.
1t was decided by the association
members to expand the organization
tine coming year, so as to cover a
larger portion Of the state. TIE wool
will be graded according to the ten
tative grades suggested by the de-
partment. An effort will be made to
establish and operate ut least one
bonded warehouse.

Putting on Top Dressing.

The Adams-Evans Company con.
tractors engaged IL paving Kingstree's
streets are making progress despite
the very unfavorable weather the past
week. The entire work was held uE
several days during the week by
copious rains, but has been carried OF
during every hour that weather would
permit. The concrete has been in the
process of placement on Academy
street this week, and on Tuesday
men and machinery were put to work
laying the asphalt, or t@ dressing
on Main street, starting at the ia
cobs home. With favorable weather
the bulk of the concrete work will be
completed in a few weeks. Work is
occasionally retarded by tine breaking
of water pipes while p!owing the
streets preparatory to laying the con-
crete.
