The writer did not visit the
Ehrhardt community fair last year.
We are told it was better than it was
this year. However that may be, a
most creditable exhibit was made at
the school house in Ehrhardt last
week, and we thoroughly enjoyed a
short stay on the grounds. The spirit
of the fair is the main thing as we
see it. 1t affords an occasion for the
people to get together and enjoy the
comradeship of each other. 1t affords
an opportunity for people to exhibit
their products with very little ex-
pense attached, and it encourages the
production Of good crops, Some fine
samples of Bamberg county crops
were shown at the fair, as we'll as
fancy work, home products, etc., and
the antique room was full of inter-
esting things.

The Colston fair is to be held soon,
and then will come the county fair at
Bamberg. We hope the people of the
county will take a deep interest in
the county fair this year. Those fur
thering the fair are putting in some
hard work to make it a success, but
these efforts will come to naught II
the people do not cooperate. Every
farmer in the county should not only
take part in the fair but have an ex-
hibit. There is scarcely farm in the
county that could not exhibit some
thing of interest and instruction to
others. The fair programme will be
full Of interesting things, and the
four days will be complete with in
struction and entertainment for all.
We hope to see all booths filled with
farm products, home canning and
fancy work products. etc. The county
has many interesting antiques, and
we hope the owners of such articles
will arrange for their exhibition.
Mrs. Sallie Owens is chairman of
this committee.

fail to be struck with the unanimity
with which leading men in the rural
districts hold the opinion that South
Carolina must, in some manner, learn
to grow cotton under boil weevil con-
ditions and that cotton must be in
the future, as it has been in the past,
the chief money crop of this section.
There are some good reasons behind
this opinion and while the movement
for substitute will no doubt con-
tinue, the fact is to be faced that
coastal South Carolina will continue
as a cotton region if any way can be
found to produce the staple.
Although, says the Charleston
newspaper, perhaps this section will
gradually work its way into other
money crops besides cotton or dairy
production, but for the present at
least the great majority of farmers
will strive to produce as much cot
ton as they can and that is a con-
dition that should and must be faced
by the agricultural advisers Of this
state. They should bend their energies
chiefly to teaching farmers how to
make cotton in the presence of the
boil weevil a thing which can be done
by the proper methods, as experience
in other weevil-infected states has
demonstrated. Moreover, the depart
ment of agriculture at Washington
should leave no stone unturned toI
work out methods of weevil control,
subordinating most of its work for
the time being to this end, which is by
far the most important agricultural
problem facing the country at this
time.
1T is certain that the world will be
starving for cotton for long time to
come. Not only have recent crops been
small, but the demand. already great,

buying power increases with its re-

The Bamberg Herald favors pay
inc state and county taxes on the in
stallment plan and seems to think
that this would make tay-paying
easier for the rural population. But
does The nearald realize that IN
places where the installment plan Of
taxpaying prevails the taxpayer Is
called on to make his first tax pay
ment for the current year IN the
spring. whereas state taxes are not
PAYABLE until the last day OF the
vear?-News and Courier.
1t appears TO The Herald that it
would be just as practicable to have
the first installment paid in October
as in the spring. The payments may
be made payable at any time most
convenient to the average taxpayer.
The fact that cities employing this
plan make the first payment in the
early part of the year does not de-
tract from the idea in the least. We
presume in such places the first pay
ment is made in the spring because
it suits most people to pay then. In
the case of the installment plan be-
ing used for collection of state and
county taxes. it would. Of course,
provide for the first payment to be
made in the fall of the year. The
whole idea is simply to make the
pavment of taxes easier on the mass
of taxpayers. A great many people
would not care to bother with in
stallments at all. whereas to others
it would provide great convenience

Succeeding With Asparagus.

Congressman James F. Byrnes,
who made short speech at the an
nual meeting of the South Carolina
Asparagus Growers Association in
Ridge Spring, said that his organl-
cation was the greatest forward
step in agriculture in the lower part
of the State within his recollection.
The Williston Way believes that in
this judgment Mr.. Byrnes is probably
we'll within the mark; not because
this association has promoted good
feeling among it's members and not
because it is now nearing the million
dollar mark in the value of its annual
output, but because 'it is demon
strating that cooperative marketing,
properly managed, is not only practic-
able but the only feasible thing for
the farmer"
1t is only laterly that the aspara-
gus growers have gotten their assocl-
alton on a sound basis. For long
time, says the Williston Way, it was
an association in name only so far as
the actual selling of the crop was
concerned. But about year ago it
set up real organization "and to-
day." says the Way, latter having
sold it's product through its own ap-
pointed Representatives in the large
cities of the nation, with an expert
enced manager and an able and ef-
fcient president, it stands out
bright light to farmers raising other
crops"
During the past season, it was
stated by General Manager j. W.
Jones, of Ridge Springs, 116 refriger-
ated cars of asparagus we're shipped
out by the association members and
with express shipments nearly 10000
crates of Dixie asparagus went to the
consumer, Mr.. Jones believes that the
South Carolina growers are going to
secure a reduction in refrigeration
charges, for which they have been
contending. and after thorough
survey of the markets he declares
that he does not think the asparagus
growers have anything to fear from
increased acreage if they will Or
ganize and work together.
One of the most valuable lessons
the members of the South Carolina
Asparagus Growers Association have
learned is in grading and packing
their crop. Chief Inspector W. n.
Wooley stated at the recent annual
meeting that fully two-thirds of the
members are now putting out practl-
callv perfect asparagus and told OF
one grower who offered him dollar
if a single sprig of the wrong size
could be found in one of his packages.
The inspector, much to his surprise,
failed to earn the dollar.
With such a spirit it is not sur
prising that the Williston Way should
confidently predict that the asparagus
Industry in South Carolina is only in
its infancy and that it has bright
future before it.-News and Courier.

ST. LAWRENCE CANAL
PLAN AGAIN ATTACKED
Maritime Association Pleads
for State Waterways.

Resolutions condemning the project
for Great Lakes-St. Lawrence ship
canal were adopted yesterday by the
Maritime Association of the Port of
New York and sent to President Hard
ing, Secretary Hughes, the chairman OF
the Senate committee on foreign rela-
tons and the chairman of the House
committee on foreign affairs.
The proposed development is solely in
the interest of Canada, to the detrimen;
of the United States. according to the
resolutions, which continue: THE bene-
fits which the States of the middle West
are said to expect therefrom are, in the
minds of practical navigators, impos-
'sible of Accomplishment; and the ex-
penditure of the many millions of dol
lars necessary to carry 1t to completion.
in view of the present high taxes, Is
unwiSe and unwarranted."
In conclusion the resolutions declare
that the canals of the ST .e OF New
York, improved and maintained by the
State without one iota of expense to
the Federal Government, should have
an opportunity to demonstrate their
utility before any other proposition in
volving the creation of additional water
ways between the Great Lakes and the
Atlantic Ocean is given serious con-
sideration."
at dH OTBdHizatlOH meeting OF the
newly elected board of directors OF the
association, held Thursday on the floor
Of the Maritime Exchange, Walter T..
Firth was reelected secretary for the
ensuing year and Mr.. Firth, George w.
Lethbridge and James p. McAlliste-
were made members of the executive
committee to serve with President
Charles II. Potter and Treasurer Andrew
NJ. Campbell. c. Lynn Bundy was
elected manager and Walter s. Smith
assistant manager.
