POTATO CURING BEGINS
Thursday and Will Last About Ten
Days.


The Abbeville potato curing house
is being heated and storing will be
finished by Thursday when the cur
ing process will begin Thursday
night and last about ten days.
Curing is accomplished by placing
the potatoes in an air tight house
and holding a temperature of ap-
proximately 100 degrees for a
period of ten days, after which time
all of the moisture is forced out and
the potatoes cured. 1t is only neces-
sary then to maintain heat sufficient
to keep the potatoes from frosting.
Sales will be made under the ju-
risdiction of the South Carolina Po-
tato Growers Association in January
or February and payments will be
on monthly basis. Potatoes sold in
February will bring an average Feb
ruary price of all sales made during
that month by the association.

TEST VALIDITY Of
GRAIN FUTURES ACT
MOVE MADE BY THE CHICAGO
BOARD OF TRADE-MANY
OWNERS OF GRAIN WILL BE
DEPRIVED OF PRIVILEGE OF
INSURING AGAINST PRICE

Chicago, Oct. 31.-The Chicago
board Of trade today made it's first
move to test the constitutionality of
the grain futures act when it filed in
federal district court here a petition
for injunction restraining the gov
ernment from enforcing the provis-
ions of the act.
District Judge Carpenter issued a
stay order preventing enforcement Of
the act until November 13 when he
will hear the proposition for a tenn
porary Injunction against enforce
ment Of the regulating act.
The law enacted to take place OF
the former Capper-Tincher act de-
clared unconstitutional by the su-
preme court was passed to become
effective November l.
The bill of complaint filed by
the board charges that the law seeks
to regulate as interstate commerce
trade that is wholly state: that it in
terferes with state rights to COVER
nor exchanges and that it seeks to de
prive board members Of their prop
erty by admitting representatives OF
cooperative bodies and permitting
them to rebate commissions in VIOLA
ton of rules observed by other MEM
bers.
Further charges of unconstitutlon-
atty are made on the ground that
the law makes violation of its provis-
ions a crime, "and constitutes the
secretary of agriculture, the secre-
tary of commerce and the attorney
general, a commission with power to
deprive offenders of their rights to
thereafter pursue a lawful avocation
whereas such criminal laws are un-
der the constitutional enforceable
only in the courts with jury trial.
Other sections granting wide pow
res of control to the secretary OF
agriculture, who is given authority
to designate what exchanges shall or
shall not be contract markets are at
tackled as unsound.
Fear of what might result from
the drastic provisions of the law, the
complaint says, may bring on serl'
Gus disturbance of the grain mar
kets of the country"
"Many owners of grain" it stated
twill be deprived of the privilege OF
insuring themselves against price
fluctuations through hedging con,
tracts, and irreparable loss to mem,
bers and others would result"

FURTHER DECLINE
IN COTTON CROP
FAVORABLE WEATHER FAILS
TO CHECK DETERIORATION
SOUTH CAROLINA SHOWS THE
HEAVIEST LOSS WITH A DE-
CLINE OF 3 PER CENT.

New York, Oct. 31.-Regarding
the cotton crop the Journal Of Com
merce will have the following to say
in it's issue of tomorrow:
Notwithstanding the favorable
weather that has prevailed over the
greater part of the cotton belt dur
ing October, further slight deteri-
Grafton has taken place. Final re-
ports of nearly 1900 competent cor
respondents of this journal, under
an average date of. October "a, in
dicate a decline in percentage con-
ditions of 0.8 per cent from
the condition figure Of SIS
per cent estimated a month ago.
Last year there was loss Of IA per
cent from condition of 44.7r per
cent, while in 1920 a drop Of no
less than 81 per cent was shown.
It should, however, be noted that
with the exception of the unusually
poor showing made year ago, and
a condition Of 48.1 per cent in 1919,
the present estimate is the lowest
for any October since 1903. For the
past ten years the average deterio-
ration has been 3.4 per cent.
South Carolina was the heaviest
loser, showing decline Of 8 per cent
Georgia is close second, with
drop of per cent, while North Car
olina, Louisiana and Alabama lost
each per cent. In Texas percentage
condition was maintained, while Mis-
souri, gained 2.3 per cent and Ten
nessee 1.6 per cent. Smaller increas-
es have also been made in Arkansas,
Oklahoma and Florida. This, when
contrasted with the report Of Octo-
Der last year, at which time indvid-
ual declines were numerous and
heavy.
Probably the most noteworthy
feature of the returns is their SINH
larity with those of a year ago. 1t
will be recalled that at that time
further long period of excessive
rain, followed by drouth, fine wealth
er set in, which greatly aided farm
ers in their picking operations and
served to some extent to couRteract
the unfortunate conditions prevail
ing earlier in the season. This year
a like state of affairs is revealed, and
cotton, after making a favorable
start, suffered a severe setback as a
result of excessive rainfall, and lat
er on of prolonged drouths.
The redeeming clement in the
cotton situation has again been the
almost ideal weather conditions pre-
valing during the picking season.
Although the improvement came too
late to materially affect production,
lit has undoubtedly done much to
increase the yield by allowing rapid
and close picking.

RELATIONS SEVERED
ESTATE Of n. Y.
UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE BY
THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT.
COMMERCIAL INTERCOURSE
WITH NEW YORK FIRMS is
FORBIDDEN

Mexico City, Oct. 31.-Commer-
cial relations between the Mexican
government and all persons or groups
of persons residing in New York
state were under suspension today
until further notice as the result of
instructions sent to the department
of the interior late last night by
President Obregon.
The president also had the va
rious Mexican state governments in
structed to refrain from commercial
intercourse with New York firms.
The cause of his action was the
writ of attachment obtained against
the Mexican consulate in New York
City in a civil action brought by the
Oliver-American Trading company.
(This writ was ordered lifted last
night by Supreme Court Justice
Tompkins at Nyacy, N. Y. News of
the lifting of the writ was filed to
Mexico City at about the same time
that dispatches telling of President
Obregon's action were sent out from
the Mexican capital.)
President Obregon's order, he said
also was prompted by other matters.
Among these he mentioned that
the New York court had not permit
ted the Mexican government to OBJ
tain redress there on contracts such
as those made for the purchase of
boats by general Salvador Alvarado,
when he was secretary of the treas
ury. A later date, President Obre-
gon's instructions pointed out, the
courts of New York permitted the
Mexican government to be sued and
its consulate closed, which action he
held to be contrary to international
law.
Coupled with his instructions last
night was the announcement that he
had ordered the foreign Office to ap-
ply article 33, pertaining to pernici-
Gus foreigners to Howard T. Oliver,
president of the Oliver-American
Trading company, should he attempt
to return to Mexico City.
Oliver, said President Obregon's
announcement, "has abused the ira
ditional Mexican hospitality, and, un-
satisfied with material advantages he
realized during his operations here,
he sought to provoke a conflict be-
tween Mexico City and the United
States"
Formal orders Cor reopening the
New York consulate had not been
dispatched from Mexico City last
night.
1t was explained the delay was
due merely to the absence of in
structions from the embassy at Wash
ington.
