EOX SEASON OUT

The season for hunting foxes in
York county and South Carolina came
to a close last Wednesday and R. A.
Foster of Rock Hill No. 4; Dan Latti-
more of Hickory Grove; Hay Moore
of Rock Hill and numerous other fox
hunters of this section are already
looking forward to next September 1,
when the fox hunting season opens
again.
r. A. Foster Of Rock Hill No. 4, who
according to his friends, would rather
hunt foxes than do almost anything
else went down into Richland county
Monday thinking to have couple OF
days sport before the season came to
a close; but the rain knocked up the
trip. '.
Talking about fox hunting yester-
day Mr.. Foster said: I'VE had some
pretty good hunting around Blalocks
in Bethel and Ebenezer townships
during the season just closed and we
are looking forward to even more
sport next season. I have four gray
foxes at home now that I expect to
put out in that country this year for
breeding purposes.
I'VE had six gray foxes and three
reds in the vicinity or Blalock'S the
past season and we didn't succeed in
catching but three of the grays. The
three reds left the country entirely
and we didn't get any races out of
them. Just where they got to nobody
seems to know although everybody is
of the opinion that they are out Of
the county
I'VE may get those three grays
again. They have grown quite wary
and have learned to climb and of
course that makes it harder on the
hunters"
According to Mr.. Foster, foxes are
loose in q number CT communities in
the eastern side of the county and if
they manage to survive the spring
and summer there will be plenty Of
sport for the lovers Of the chase over
that way next fall.

endorsement Of the Rock Hill Cham
Der of Commerce and several farmers
in Rock Hill and vicinity. The follow
ing on the subject is from the Rock
Hill Herald of yesterday:
The York county legislative delega-
ton seems rather slow in taking action
on the request of the Rock Hill Cham
ber of Commerce concerning county
tax to provide funds for the employ
ment of a boil weevil expert for the
county; or provide whereby Catawba,
Fort Mill, EbeheZer and Bethesda town.
ships could be taxed to raise the funds
for the securing Of this expert.
A wire was sent to each member OF
the delegation, with request that
each wire the proposal. Senator Hart
wired that the matter would be consid-
cred by the delegation yesterday. This
morning the following wire was receiv-
cd from Representative Carothers: Il
voted for boil weevil expert, but ma
jority of delegation opposed at present
However, matter not definitely settled
yet"
The telegram urging action was sent
by the chamber of commerce directors
after learning that a large number OF
farmers were interested in the securing
of some one direct from boil weevil ter
ritory to advise them as to the best
methods of overcoming the handicap OF
the weevil in the growing Of cotton.

CHICKENS SLOW SALE

Hens are hard to sell ON the York
vile market at Is cents n pound, ac-
cording to Mr.. J. Warren Moore, well
known farmer of the Philadelphia sec
ton. "a few months back l was get
ting from 20 to 25 cents a pound for
chickens without any trouble; but
here of late it has been a hard mat
ter to sell at Is cents.
Mr.. Moore was in the courthouse
Yesterday for the purpose of making
his tax return for 1922 when he start
ed to talking about the declining price
of farm products and country produce.
81 don't hardly know how to return
my property this year." he remarked.
"T don't know whether it is worth
anything or no.. ] have n lot of cattle
that have been feeding for more than
a year and I am not able to get any
thihg like their cost, If | sell them.
For years l have managed to raise
enough produce on the farm and sell it
at a profit to pay my living expenses
and thus enable me. TO hold my cotton
as Il surplus. But tell you am hard
put to it now"
Mr.. Moore probably sells more vege-
tables, fruits and chickens on the
Yorkville market than any other single
farmer: but according to his state
ment yesterday. unless the market i'm
proves he is going to nave to go out
of the business.

Richard G. Tolman, director of the
fixed nitrogen research laboratory OF
the department, announced the secre-
tarys position with regard to the Ford
offer in an authorized statement which
he read Tuesday before the house
military compittee. The secretary's
views as expressed by the witness
were that, if the terms were as he had
outlined, the proposal would result
in making available a considerably in
creased supply of fertilizer in time Of
peace and give us assurance of ade-
quate supplies of explosives in case of
need" The statement was read by DIR.
Tolman after the committee had COM
pleted an examination, lasting more
than five hours, of w. B. Mayo, chief
engineer and personal representative
of Henry Ford. Mr.. Mayos testimony
included repeated statements that Mr..
Ford intended to manufacture fertili-'
zer in their completed forms at the
maximum production capacity of the
Muscle Shoals plants and would make
every effort to manufacture item at a
minimum cost to the farmers, using
every known formula and working his
chemists meanwhile to discover i'm
proved methods. '.....

It is the presumption Of course that
the New England strike, involving
$4,000 textile workers who have left
their Jobs, is chargeable altogether to
the operatives; but we are not so sure
about that. The issue is 20 per cent.
reduction Of wages which the mill
operators are seeking to enforce. Any
tyro can see that the wages an en-
blower can pay must be limited by the
profit he can make; but we are in
clined to suspect that this is not the
whole question in the present case.
Readers of The Yorkville Enquirer
will remember some comments we
made on this subject some time back.
It was a self-evident fact then and
more so now that the supply of cot
ton was far below requirements. No
boGy understands this better than the
spinners. Regardless Of the demand,
there is not enough cotton in existence
to keep the mills running during the
year. Some Of the mills must stand
for q part of the time in any event, for
lack of raw material. The bulk Of the
raw material is still in the hands of
the producers. The price'is now below
the cost of production. If the mills
should go to bidding against each
other in the present situation, prices
would soar and soar, and the profit
would go to the producer On the
other hand, if the mills shut down and
quit consuming, the raw. material In
the hands of the producer grows
heavier and heavier and stands to be
sold cheaper. The mills really have
very little to lose by closing down, be-
cause many of them are going to have
to close down anyway. OF course we
cannot say positively that these New
England mills are playing the game
we are here outlining; but as we un-
derstand it, the New England mills
are not giving their labor any more
than Southern mills are giving theirs.
We have no reason to think that the
New England mills are any fairer to-
ward their operatives than are the
New England operatives toward the
New England mills. We can see no
reason why the New England mills
cannot operate as we'll as the South
ern mills. Although 20 per cent.
decrease in wages is the apparent is
sue in this question, taken all in all
we are not at all sure but what the
real issue is a prospective increase of
from 80 to so per cent. in the price of
cotton unless that Increase can be pre-
vented by checking of the immediate
demand for cotton.

Fifteen hundred dollars for n boil
weevil expert! It is to laugh. 1t is
about % years since the boil weevil
came out of Mexico, and he has been
coming this way ever since at the rate
of about 60 miles year. All the while
the experts have been trying to head
him off and all the while he has been
.leaving experts behind. Each new
sixty mile belt has been planting one
crop too many, and each new sixty
mile belt has accepted the lesson only
after it has become completely bank
rupt: Some few wise individuals in
each section, being fore-warned were
fore armed; but the percentage has
been small Of course in this genera
tion also it may be truly said that IF
they hear not Moses and the prophets,
neither will they be persuaded though
one rose from the dead" Boil weeVll
expert! The idea! Who wants to put
himself In such a ridiculous position
for fifteen hundred, or even three
thousand dollars a year? Boil weevil

new crops of weevils? Will we never
never learn? .....

It was to the September term Of the
court of commSn pleas instead Of the
February term that sessions business
was tackled on in order to save the un-
necessary September and February
terms Of the circuit court Of York
county. The grand jury had gotten
after these two unnecessary common
pleas terms, and then the argument
was put up that the September term
was justifiable for the purpose OF
clearing the jail" There has been
practically no clearing Of the jail at
the September term, however, and very
little common pleas business at either
the September or the February term.
There seems to have been a special ef-
fort at this February term to make the
same look like it was necessary; but
even at that there has been but three
days Of business out Of the six days
provided for. F.
