The policy followed not ocly ~
the United States and Egypt nut
also by India, OF making a redLc-
ton in the acreage planted to CO..
ton in 1921 seems most wise. l. IS
our conviction that continuation
OF this policy for one more season
will be necessary to dlsslpate the
surplus cotton still on hand N
Egypt and America and put the
price of cotton back on reason
able profit basis. Il is
essential to the welfare of the
world, and to the cotton producer
in particular, that a sufficient re-
turn be received to MAINTAIN the
culture Of cotton on a profitable
Easis'
While the consumption of cotton
has been greater this year than last
there is still reason to believe that
we will go into next year with be-
tween 100000 and 100000 bales
of carry-over in American hands.
This is more than normal. A big
crop of 1922 would again flood the
market and result in low prices and
further poverty for the cotton far
mer.
If it is profitable. for the British
Government to limit cotton acre
age in the countries under its con-
troll because of the fact that too
much cotton is being grown, it GER
tainly is equally profitable for
the farmers of the South. acting On
their own initiative, to do exactly
the same thing.

There was also another member OF

that is Senator Lightsey of Hampton.
The Hampton senator labored in

honors, but is running for reelection
to the senate. He has antagonized

newed by the makers it is likely

,nent to the bank.
Indifferent farmers are Oroha bly
not posted in regard to these mat
ters bet they ought to be. Toe
many Farmers pay 100 little at
tentiOn to the business end of THEN
affairs. The local banker is the
best business friend farmer ever
old business with. Ii credit i:
needed the mos; economic way ior
the farmer TO utilize that credit is
in the form of bank loan ct
legal rae Of interest and use the
money to pay spot cash Tor the
supplies he needs. 4 deposit ac>
count at the bank ard a check book
is the simplest a-,d safest method
Of keeping books and doing busi-
ness with the general public. The
finest medium Of exchange evel
invented is bank check. A bank
check requires no receipt in the
settlement Of accounts between par
ties, and if all obligations and pur-
chases were made by checks there
would be but little or no need for
currency except for small pocket
change. The ole time business OF
supply merchants and long time
prices is fast playing OUT. The
quicker the day comes for that
primitive and expensive system for
farmers to be obliterated and for
gotten, the better. The merchant
should sell strictly for spot cash or
terms Of thirty-day accounts, and
farm credits should be supplied
through our banking agencies.
Congress now has under consid-
GRAFTON measures for providing the
machinery for short-time farm
loans from six months to three
years. This Federal Banking
System, if enacted into law, will
duobtless utilize the local bankers
as the medium for reaching the
farmers. Agriculture cannot be
profitable unless the farmers are
supplied with cash loans at a very
low rate of interest so that they
can pay cash for what they buy and
get out of the habit of making ac-
counts. It is easy to make an ac-
count but it is oftentimes a heart
rending difficulty to pay it. 1t Is
uneconomic and unbusinesslike tC
buy supplies on time, oftentimes
even without asking or knowing the
price of the articles purchased.
If the farmer must have credit,
let that credit come through his
banker in teh form Of loan at a
legal rate of interest. Meet every
such obligation promptly the day
it falls due if it is humanity pos
sible to do so. If not, pay as far
as.you can and get an extension on
the balance, but give prompt at
tention to the matter in either
event. Of course, no hard and fast
rules can be laid down under con-
ditions existing for the past Is
months, but there is certainly no
excuse for failure to renew past
due notes. Farmers who can and
will pay out of debt should try
and get on a cash basis and stay
there. 1t can be done if farm
I: ing is operated on the right kind

The destruction by the bol!
weevil to the cotton crop for the
present year will be the greatest
ever recorded even with dry
season. and with adverse seasons
the destruction will shake the cot
ton consuming world from center
to circumference. Millions of dol
lars have been spent in efforts to
discover some plan for either de-
stroying the boil weevil or mini
mizing his destruction. Up to the
present all efforts through scien-
tific channels or otherwise have
failed, and even at this early stage
in many sections Of the. belt the
boil Weevils are. 80 numerous that
the farmers are becoming despond-
ent and are ploughing up their
young cotton and putting in other
crops. ": ..'
The following plan is about as
practical as any plan. that has been
suggested up to date for produc-
ing cotton under boil weevil condi-
tions:
l.. Prepare your land in Oc-
tober by blowing it up with dyna-
mite. ... .,~ -.
2. Lay it off in rows y feet
apart, and plant your cotton seed
in December.
8. When your cotton comes
up thin it to one stalk in a hill

8. Spread '',T7aI,t;;iiet ,ot'' he
tween all cotton rows and replace
it every day.
7. Burn off all nearby woods
and cut down dead trees and
burn them.
8. Dust the following mix
ture on your cotton twice a day:
EPSON Salts, Calomel, Cream of
Wheat and theg white of"an egg.

ton in February and try to have
it all ginned and sold by March
18th. This will enable you to
go to work and grow corn, peas.

THE ISSUES

The action Of the Lexington county
Democracy at the convention last
week will put squarely before the,
people. the issues raised at the last
session Of the legislature. In instruct
ing the delegation to the state con-
vention to support similar resolu',
ton next Wednesday, Lexington
county will take the lead in making
the issue Of this summers campaign.
The program of the Joint Commit
tee on Economy and Consolidation,
which the Lexington county Democ-
racy endorsed was of wider scope tha:
the title Of the committee would i'm
ply, because it not only undertook to
apply the principles Of scientific busi-
ness economy to the operations Of the
government, but it also undertooksand
partially accomplished the shifting OF
the tax burden from land and visible
property to incomes and othe,
sources. AS a result of the work OF
the last legislature, money is now
flowing into the states treasury from
the gasoline and income tax laws, an6
every property owner will this fall
and winter, when tax paying time
comes, find that his taxes on his lands
and houses, or merchandise and
equipment has been correspondingly
reduced. Had the full program Of
the committee, as it passed the house
under the leadership of Mr.. Hughes:
chairman Of the ways and means conn.,
nnittee, and as advocated by Senator
Christensen, been ! adopted, there
would have been still further reduc-
ton IN the state levy. II the proper
fight is made at the state convention.
