Charleston May
Be Tobacco Port
Secretary Wallace Says Weed
May BE Stored at That
Port

Washington, Sept. 23--Steps are
being taken with Il good chance of
success to make Charleston a to-
bacco exporting and storage port.
Charleston business interests, in
cluding President j. NJ. Whitsitt, Of
the Carolina Company, have been
in correspondence on the subject
with Thomas 3. Young, of Florence,
director of the South Carolina iii
vision of the Tobacco Growers AS
sociation, and with Senator E. d.
Smith.
Senator Smith has in turn en-
gagged the interest of Secretary Of
Agriculture Wallace and e. G..
Moss, investigator of the bureau of
plant industry OF the depart
ment. has beer to Charleston to
examine conditions as to their suit
ability for tobacco concentration
and storage.
Mr.. Moss is now preparing his
report to Secretary Wallace and
the Secretary has written the fol-
towing letter to Senator Smith
pending the fling of his report:
Dear Senator Smith: I beg to
acknowledge receipt of your let
ter of the Sd instant making in
quiry as to whether tobacco stored
in the port of Charleston. S. c.,
would become infested with worms
and suffer deterioration. It is the
opinion OF the specialists of the de-
partment to whom the matter has
been referred that with proper care
tobacco could be safely stored in
the city of Charleston. The tobaS-
co would be subject to the attack
of the tobacco beetle. This beetle
is practically cosmopolitan and &C.
ours wherever large quantities OF
leaf or baled tobacco are handled
or stored.
Although the greatest loss oc-
ours in the Gulf states, cons;der-
able damage is caused by this
beetle in the more Northern states.
To insure against loss from this
insect the tobacco should be in
spected for the presence of the
beetles. IF free from infest5tion
it may be stored in a clean, screen
ed wareholse. If infested, it should
be treated by fumigation or heat
to destroy the insect.
Tobacco in storage is also sub
ject to injury from mold. mast,
souring and other forms of deter
ioration, dependent primarily on
and state of the tobacco wher
placed in storage, and the tenn.
perature and moisture conditions
in the warehouse It is believed
that tobacco which has been prop
eriy conditioned before packing IN
the hogsfead could be stored in
Charleston without danger of such
deterioration, provided necessary
safeguards are taken as to the To-
cation and construction Of the
warehouse. A location on the wa
ter front or On wet, poorly
drained ground is undesirable and
the construction of the warehouse
should be such as will afford ade-
suuate ventilation as well as pro-
lection from the weather.
Sincerely yours,
Henry c. Wallace, Secretary
The idea is that the warehouses
at the great government terminal
at North Charleston could be used
for tobacco. Local interests be-
lieve that the necessary conditions
are met there, Notwithstanding the
fact that the warehouse is near
the water front. because 1t is high
and dry and situated similarly to
warehouses in use for this same
purpose at other seaports.

PERCY D. SNOWDEN.

Percy D. Snowden after an Hines!
o. five long years, being confined tt
his bed for the last seven or eigh
months, on January 9th, 1922, quite
ly passed away. When it became
known that Mr.. Snowden was dead
one who knew him, remarked, "Wel
he is rejoicing in the presence of his
Redeemer at this moment"
Mr.. SnowGcn lacked but little Of
reaching mems allotted age, and dice
in his 66th year. For forty years
he was an elder in Indiantown Pres,
byterian church; joining the church
early in his boyhood, and always iV,
ing a consistant Christian life. He
was hospitable to fault; kept an
open house to his friends and rela.
tives, and was never happier than
when he had these about him. When
ever help was needed, he was al
ways ready to do more than his part.
Being one of the elder members of a
very large family connection, he has
always been looked to as counsel
lor, and his influence has always been
for good. Those who knew him from
early life, knew him as one whose
disposition was peaceabIe, gentle and
kind. He was also friend to the
colored man and frequently gave them
good advice; having known many OF
his Fathers Ante e-Bellum slaves.
Not his family only, bu: a host OF
friends, his church at her regular
services, and her communion services,
and all who knew him well will miss
him. But as we held him in remem-
brance we do so numbering him
among the Redeemed.
We the Session Of Indlanrown Pres
byterian church wish to pay aim this
tribute of love and respect, and to
express our sorrow in the loss we
have sustained in his death. There
fore be it resolved. t5,y
1. That we have sustained a great
less in his passing. We mourn his
absence and miss his wise counsel and
sincere devoting and exemplary 10y
atty.
2. That we bow in humble sub
mission to our Heavenly Fathers will.
8. That our hearts go QUO IN SYM
pathy to. the bereaved wife and chill
dren. Also that page OF our church
records be dedicated to his memory,
and that these resolutions oe spreaa
thereon, and copy be sent TO his
family.

DON'T INCREASE COTTON CROP
A Reduction of Last Years Acreage
is Recommended.

Columbia, Feb. 2S.-Convinced they
say, that any increase in cotton acre
age this year would be absolutely
ruinous to the state, officials OF the
South Carolina Division of the Amer
ican Cotton Association have issued
a statement setting forth the facts
in the situaaion as. they see them'
and urging every interest in South
Carolina to unite in an effort to hold
acreage down at least to that OF l92l'
A further reduction would be strong
ly advisable the association says
-Four major reasons are given by the
association Why the acreage should
not be increased and it says there
are numerous minor reasons, the four
principal ones are: INA .-.e
sFirst. An increase in cotton acre.
age would cheaper all collateral held
by Southern banks.
SECOND. Under boil weevil condi'
tions an increase in arrangements an
increase in possible disaster by the
4holl weevil.
"Third. Ar increase in cotton acre
age means a decrease in food and
feed crops. Let's make the Southern
farm self sustaining before we again
undertake to raise surplus Of cotton
'Fourth. After bearing the brunt
of defiation neither our bankers, mer-
chants nor farmers are in position
10 finance a large crop.
aUnder existing conditions we ought
not to run the risk of crop failure
and thus embarrass banks, merchants
and farmers. Plant only such crop
as can be financed with comparative
ease"
The association in its statement
takes the view that while "a large
acreage this year would not by any
, means insure a large crop, it would
certainly very greatly depress, the
price will be ruinous, if we overplan'
and the boil weevil repeats her 1927
performance, ruin is certain, eithel
xvav Won look at it our only salvation
is in a very small acreage"
The association says that it feels
it to be it's duty to sound this mote
of warning to the farmers Of tn
state and it reminds them that ii
il better to be safe than sorry"

LETTER FROM Mr.. JENKINS.
Farmers Should Support Cotton Grow
ers Cooperative Association.

Columbia, Feb. 28-"f the farmer
of South Carolina do not enthusias
t,cally support the movement now OF
foot to organize and put in success
full operation the South Carolina Cot
ton Growers Cooperative Aassocia
tion, they need start another farmers
movement because it will be a fail
ure," says ]. H. B. Jenkins, vice-pres
ident of the Peoples Bank end Trust
Co., of York in a letter to W.. B
Wilkerson, a York county farmer, g
copy of tbe letter having been made
public by she officers of the cooper
ative association in this city.
Mr.. jenkins letter was in reply to
one from Mr.. Wilkerson asking the
attitude Of the bank towards the
movement. Mn. Wilkerson had writ
ten Mr.. Jenkins that the banks in
many counties of the state were
strongly backing the movement and
: asked if MIR. jenkins bank would fav-
or it.
"In our opinion the proposed CO.
operative marketing movement" con-
tinued Mr.. Jenkins, "is the only move
ment that has ever been started by
the farmers that has ever had teeth
t., it. A cooperative association with
the proper enthusiastic support, un-
der honest and capable management,
OF organized in South Carolina and in
the other cotton states will do more
to bring about and regulate orderly
marketing of cotton at 1air profit
than anything else that can be done.
Therefore the Peoples Bank and Trust
Company strongly recommends the or
ganization Of properly managed CO.
operative marketing associations, and

ers among cur stockholders; we num-
Der hundreds of farmers as patrons
and we are and will be just as will
ing, if not more so, to assist financial
association as those who are not. The
association as those who are OF. The
fact that the government through the
great war finance corporation and the
large financial institutions in the
money centers have endorsed cooper
alive marketing associations and have
expressed a willingness to extend and
are already extending financial as
sistance in large amounts is in itself
evidence of the soundness of the prop
osition. It is a great pity that the
farmers of South Carolina have not
lcng before organized such an asso-
cation. They would now be enjoying
the great benefits that are being en-
jcyed through associations already
, organized in Texas, Oklahoma and
Mississippi. ,,.s.,,g.r.s .-
"The farmer who does not join in
this movement is not only standing
in his own light but is rerarding the
future development of the South.
