MONEY IN POTATOES
Potato Crop Shows Good Profit
Even at Low Prices

Even at Low Prices
In spite Of the talk about mar
keting being the big interest Of
the farmer today, and in spite Of
those who claim that too much en-
phasis is put on production and not
enough on marketing, the yield
per acre is the factor that causes a
profit or loss in the farm enter
prise.
MANY reports have come to me
this year" says County Agent v.
L. Georgeson, "of potato yields of
two, four and six tons to the acre.
Needless to say, the farmers who
produced such small crops lost
money when the average cost of
producing an acre Of potatoes is
about $4,000 an acre, including
interest on the money invested in
the land, and the potatoes sell for
$zO TO w per ton.
'The farmers, however, who make
a point Of studying methods Of
production can show a profit. The
largest yield that has been brought
to my attention this year is that
of Mr.. Emil Albrecht, who lives
out in section 9. Mr.. Albrecht
raised five acres Of early potatoes.
He dug part Of his crop early and
shipped in Jugs. The rest were
shipped in sacks. When the last
potatoes were dug last week, the
crop looked so good that two of
his neighbors measured his land
up for him. They found that by
actual measurement he had 5 acres
in potatoes after deducting an g.
foot strip along the flume for
wastage.
''The association figures show
that Mr.. Albrecht delivered to them
IA, 41O pounds net Of potatoes, af-
ter deducting the weight Of the
Jugs and sacks. In addition Mr.. Al
brecht states that he sold on pri-
vate sale 5000 pounds, making a
total produced from the five acres
Of 10000 pounds or Is tons. This
is an average Of Is tons net Of
marketable potatoes per acre. Mr..
Albrecht says he knows that it
pays to work for a big produc-
ton"

kinds of nasty tricks in the fac
tory. These are short-sighted pol
icies. In the long run they work
to the disadvantage of labor. Still,
they are the usual recourse of La
Dor when it is. met by obstacles
that do not yield.
Fright here is the problem of the
employer of the next few years.
How shall he meet the new temper
of Labor? In my opinion that ug-
ly temper must be met by open
dealing, by setting before Labor
the facts under which business is
done and by admitting Labor pro-
excessively to greater share in
management of the elements of the
industrial relation which most di-
rectly concern Labor. That is to
say: the time to develop personnel
departments, set up profit-sharing,
organize shop committees and all
the rest of the things that belong
to this class is, not when Labor
is in the saddle and holds gun at
the employers head, but when the
employer himself is in the saddle
and is in the position to dictate
terms.
'The employer does nat have to
take this reasonable course, if he
does not want to. He can use these
next years to pile up trouble for
himself and his successors in the
days to come. If, however, the en-
polyer is wise, he will take advan-
tage of his position to set up the
best kind Of machinery, with which
to defend himself and his industry.
1t is not a question Of strikes in
the immediate future. It will be
a question Of sabotage. Sabotage,
however, is worse than strikes. 1t
demands it's own treatment.
In view of these conditions, in
vestors should give more thought
to the labor policies of the. COM
panies in which they purchase Sc
curities. An examination of cor
poration earnings shows that the
labor policy is great determining
factor between profit and loss dur
ing normal times. This especially
applies to various concerns in the
same line of industry. They all
pay approximately the same price
for raw materials; they all have
practically the same hours Of work,
but one company succeeds and the
other fails. Statistics show that
the difference is very largely due
to their labor and financial poll
cies. Therefore, conservative in
vestors will seek securities of the
companies which have a broad
minded labor policy, and which
companies are now developing

SEEK ROBBERS in
ANDERSON COUNTY
OFFICERS Making Effort to Find Perpc-

Anderson, Aug. 27.-Local county
officers are cXerting every effort di-
rected toward the apprehension of par
ties figuring in three Of the four burg
lares reported in and near this city
and county, the fourth case being the
attempted burglary Of the home Of
Walter Pilgrim Of Ware Shoals, in
Greenwood county, which is said to
have been attempted last night In
two Of the cases, the burglary last
night Of the Hampton Mercantile Store.
at PelZer, Of last Tuesday night, local
authorities are baffled to a certain ex-
tent.
Members of the county force went
to Piedmont early this morning to in
vestigate the robbery there last night
Of the Hampton Mercantile company
which was rified and a large amount
Of merchandise taken from the estab-
lishment estimated by the store man
ager at around 5000, or more. The
goods taken consisted principally of
clothing and shoes, the boxes in which
these goods were contained having
been left near the store at various
points along the road.
Discovery of the burglary was
made this morning, when Mr.. Black
we'll states that he was awakened by
the noise of an automobile which, he
assumed carried the parties who had
entered the store. The burglars gained
access to the store through a transom
