The farmers, bankers and business

They can name the price at which
they want to sell. want to urge
our bankers and business men to get
behind the cotton and let's save South
Carolina from financial ruin by all
forces working together. We can add
many million dollars to the wealth Of
our State. Single handed we can do
nothing, together we can do anything,
that is right and I know that this is
right. Cotton is our great money
crop and when we get rid of what we
now have on hand it will be long

country in the future as we have IN
the past. 1t is up to US.

Azruzzi Rye
Read carefully what DR.. r. Y. Win

"Abruzzi rye was introduced into
our country from Italy: . more, than
fifteen years ago. From it's earliest
introduction it proved to be better
than the common winter rye through
out the South. When compared With
the common winter rye at our Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, the
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1922-09-20

Abruzzi has been much earlier fur
nishing more and better grazing and
producing about one third more seed.
No other winter cover crop will give
more grazing or more organize matter
to turn under on poor land as will
Abruzzi rye. " '
Ten years ago the State Expert
ment Station started seed selection
work with this crop to further i'm
prove it's seed yield and grazing quail
ties. The first lot Of these seed were
distributed to growers Of the. State
last year. Recent reports from grow
ers who secured seed show that the
time spent in its Improvement was
we'll spent. Several growers who
thought they had grown Abruzzia rye
found that they had been groWlng
common rye sold as Azruzzi. A few
had purchased Rosen rye for Abruz-
zi. The Rosen rye was originated in
the northwestern part Of our country
and Is not at all adapted to our State.

FARMERS MAY, GET .p1CRIC ACID

Clemson College, Sept. 18.-Soutf
Carolina farmers can get more picric
acid. The U. S. Department. of Agri-
culture announces that "a limited sup
ply Of this explosive }is now on hand
at Edgcwood, Nd, and that it is be-
ing offered to farmers for agricultural
purposes free Of cost except the
charges for. cartridging, packing and
freight. This cost is z cents per
pound for eartridging and packing!
and about two cents per . pound for
freight to central point plus freight
to point Of local delivery.
Picric acid is high explosive used
in the World War, and the government
is now distributing its remaining sup
ply as an agricultural explosive to
stimulate land clearing activities.
Picric acid has given entire satisfac-
tion to thousands of farmers in
many states who have used it for
stump blasting, ditch digging, etc.
One car of 1900 pounds was used
by South Carolina farmers early this
year.
The material is packed in cartridges
the same size and shape as used for
dynamite, but the picric acid cartridge
weighs 6 ounces, while the dynamite
cartridge weighs 8 ounces. The six
ounce picric acid cartridge has the
same explosive force as the 8 ounces
dynamite cartridge. Since one pound
Of picric acid does the same work as
one and one-fourth, pounds of 40 per-
cent dynamite, the cost Of picric acid
at around 8 cents per pound is APP
proximately one-third the cost of the
equivalent quantity Of dynamite at
usual retail prices. 1t is clear there
fore that it would pay farmers who
have stump blasting and other ex-
plosive work to do to secure picric
acid from this government supply.
1t ,is of interest to note that picric
acid keeps Indefinitely if. stored in an
ordinary dry place; is not affected by
heat or cold; is not so sensitive as dy-
Mantle and therefore even safer to
handle; and gives no. Injurious effects
in the way Of headaches, such as come
from dynamite fumes. ~.
Order Through County Agent
Because of the greater cost of
freight in less than carlots, the De-
partment Of Agriculture will not re-
ceiYe orders from individual, farmers
but will deal only with; Q, cooperating

consolidate them into. carlot orders
and forward them to the Department.

DOES IT PAY SELL COTTON
BELOW COST OF PRODUCTION

We now have about 100000 bales
Of cotton held over from the 1921 crop
and cotton is now selling for $4,000
bale more than 1t was IL months
ago. Let's calculate little and see
II it pays to mold cotton great nary
are always ready to say that it does
not pay to hold cotton but that the
best way is to sell as fast as you get
it ginned. BY holding these 100000
bales Of cotton to date we have added
$10,000,000 of wealth to the State. II
this cotton had not been held off the
market that amount of wealth would
have gone into the hands of the specu-
lators. Has it not paid to hold it?
The same thing can be done with
the crop we are now gathering.
think that our State will not make
over 100000 bales this year and if it
is held off the market for even six
months at least 19c a.@pound can be
added to the price it is selling for to-
day. Another $50 bale can be made,
adding $30,000,00O; Of wealth to our
State. Now, is this worth our while?
certainly think it is. Considering
the condition of our State at present,
the business interests of our State
cannot afford to lose this great
amount of money.
How can this enormous amount Of
money be saved and added to the
wealth of our State. Cotton is now
of the best collaterals in the world
on which to have money advanced and
it is doubly SO now, for it is admitted
by some Of the best cotton men in
the world that we have not enough
cotton for the worlds consumption in
1923 even if the consumption is no
greater for next year than it has
been this year. If this cotton is
warehoused and the receipts turned
over to the bankers, believe that
they can get money on them and I
want to urge every farmer who has
not signed his cotton to the Co-opera-
tive Marketing Association to ware
house his cotton and keep it off the
market. I think that you are bound
to see higher prices in the near fu-
ture. The world is no longer going
to believe the big crop estimating
lies. They are now beginning to
realize that we will make under ten
million bales this year and they are
beginning to wonder where the cotton
is coming from to clothe the people
Of the world. If not another bale of
spote cotton were sold in the South
Ror 80 years, you would see cotton
sell above and think you would even
see 30c cotton. The cotton is growing
shorter every day and the world is
needing cotton cloth as it has never
needed it before. A South wide hold
ing movement for better prices should
be started at once. So long as cotton
is thrown on the market it will not 20

about as fast as she gets it out.

AMERICAN LEGION NEWS
! OF SOUTH CAROLINA
BY B. T.. Adams

American Legion members from the
various posts over the State are plan
ming to attend the national convention
to be held in New Orleans October 16
to 20. South Carolina should be we'll
represented as the convention is not
likely to be held so near home in
many years. Cities in all parts of
the country want the big meeting and
it is right that it should be shifted
around. Members in South Carolina
who are contemplating attending the
convention should get in touch with
the department adjutant at Spartan
burg and secure information with re-
gard to rates and accommodations
All hotel reservations are to be made
through the department adjutant.

Then there are the white frocks
which in no way pretend to be tai
lored but which cling desperately to
the old-fashioned ideas of fluffy ruffies.
But they are new sort of ruffle.
They are narrow and plated and
massed together, making neat sort
of frilliness rather than careless
sort, If you understand the distinction.
The organdies that are coming from
Paris are lovelier than they ever have
been, for they are redolent of new
touches that make Cor charm piled
upon charm. There Is one which has
a rather narrow skirt for Its founda-
ton. but .he nature of the materials
keeps It held out in a stiffness that
can only be had by using organdie.
Then the skirt is trimmed with seven
rows of tiny frills in groups of three.
Not only that, but the frills are made
by shaping them into petals that run
along one right after the other. Above
the groups of rufiling there are
groups Of handmade tucks, of course
Then on the bodice the same idea of
trimming is carried out and the arm.
holes are left plain with no sleeves
