The Government Reports a Short Cotton Crop

IF you borrow cash on your improved farm land now
to put in livestock, principally cattle,! hogs, poultry,
etc., which the boll weevil cannot destroy-the cash
proceeds of the ldan will enable
you to hold your ?otton crop off
the market until a reasonable
price is offered for it.

DISGUISED BLESSING
FARM demonstration agents working in the boll
weevil invested counties of South Carolina under
the direction of Clemson College and the United States
Department of Agriculture have launched a fencing
campaign whiclrwill be the forerunner of a livestock
industry in this State," says the Columbia (S. C.)
Daily Record.
"The farm fence, it is realized, must be the begin
ning of livestock racing if the industry is to prove
successful. Since a change has been made imperative
and the farmer in the infesied area must turn away
from cotton, the time for experiment has passed. If
the farmer is to beat the boll weevil, he must make
the change in his farming operations demanded by the
exigencies of the situation. Turning away from cotton
he w:,lnaturally turn to livestock and the growing of
food crops, and following this new program he must
adopt the methods which will insure success from the
start.
"The farm fence is a primary requisite and among
the first essentials.
"A strand of wire will not fence out the boll weevil,
but if it fences in cattle and food crops on land that
has heretofore been devoted to the growing of cotton,
it will help to starve out the pest, and during the pe
riod of time required to make the transformation from
a cotton country to a livestock country the benefits
accruing to the farmer will more than offset the ex
pense involved in making the change. In a few years
the farmer who now deplores the coming of the wee
vil will, if he meets the situation in the only way that
the weevil has ever been beaten anywhere they ha\e
appeared, find that the pest is a blessing in disguise.
"Already many farmers in the lower part of the
State are recognizing the blessing through its disguise.
They have to change their agricultural program even
though they have known that it would be to their ad
vantage to do so. Now they have no choice in the
' matter, but. driven to make the change in self-pre
servation, they are welcoming it and looking forward
with confidence to the future."

To the People of South Carolina:
The General Assembly at its h
session passed a joint resolution pi
viding for the erection of a buildii
as a memorial to those who died
the service of this country during t
World War, and to all others wi
served, whether as soldiers, sailoi
marines, nurses or members of ki
dred organizations devoted to tl
cause for which the war was fougl
Under the resolution the sum
$100,000 is made available from tl
State treasury whenever, in the opi
ion of the Memorial Commissio
which also^was created by the res
lution, a sufficient sum shall be<
raised by popular subscription. Th
commission, of which the Governi
is chairman, has decided that $40(
000 is the proper amount to be give
by the people of the State in dire
donations.
The building, which will be erec
ed on lands now held by the truste'
of the University of South Carolin
will have an alcove for each count
and in these alcoves will be preser
ed in marble or bronze or other in
perishable form the records of tl
sons and daughters of the State wi
gave all, offered all. The memori
structure will be held by the Soul
Carolina Historical Commission. Tl
building could easily be made 1
house the records of all the wars i
which South Carolina has participj
ted, and thus, in the course of a fe
years, to become an admirable hi
torical museum -and library. Reli<
and records of the Revolution, tl,
War of 1812, the Seminole Wari tt
Mexican War, the War of Secessioi
the Spanish American War, and i
nally the great World War could r,
assembled and forever preserved.
In this building may be held th
meetings of Veterans, various hi:
torical and educational gathering
and other assemblages which ha\
for their purpose the betterment c
our State, and the honoring of thos
who have served and died in the daj
.of dire need. The structure will b
an inspiration to patriotism, couragt
justice and gratitude.
South Carolinians have been Som
what careless as to the preservatia
of their historical records; a prop11
respect for gallant deeds and gr?n<
sacrifices has not always been ev
denced. This neglect of historical ii
formation has continued to the pre:
ent day, and unless we do somethin
speedily for the collecting and safe
keeping of our latest war record*
the generations to come will be de
prived of materials of grea' value
of inspiration and of a compete un
derstanding of operating fcctors ir
the lives of their forefathrs.
JHen of this State fougt splendid
ly in the Thirtieth, the eighty-first
the Rainbow and other divisions, in
the navy and in the mrine organi
zations. These men ddicated their
lives to the great caue of universal
justice. It is due then that the mem
orial be erected; its necessary for
the rest of us thatA'e ?rect it, else
we shall suffer beouse of duty and
appreciation negltfted of inspira
tion lost. Those wio suffered the un
told miseries of n'ud?' fields and bat
tie perils, thos: wP traveled over
the treacherous seafwill ever be re
membered grateful1 by us all. This
memorial is but on token of this re
membrance.
The work and orifices of our wo
men have made brilliant page in
our history. Witf0* their unified as
sistance, their^ropathy, prayers
and courage, tlmoraIe of our fight
ing men woulnave fallen and bat
tles would ha been lost. Shall this
chapter of 0'nistory be neglected?
The memorialing will keep the
facts fresh mind
South C'Iina as a State is bet
ter; we a?dividuals a*e better for
aving hat*16 soldiers, sailors and
, marines friends? brothers, sons,
: fathers, Jbands. We are better, too
i for hav bad the noble women

is 7 ended, but we have yet anoth
b esk before us. It is for us now to
j' animated the high-souled ideals
:h inspired the armies and the
"Its; it is for us to show apprecia
'n.
Ingratitude will never be used as
i adjective to describe South Caro- I
ia. Thi5 is not an appeal, because I
) appeal to the people of South |L
Carolina in this connectoin should be
necessary but merely a reminder that
yrou have the privilege of making i
contribution to this very worthy
lause on or before November li,

Constipation.
The beginning of almost every se

want to enjoy good health, keep your
bowels regular. This is best accom
plished by proper diet and exercise,
but sometimes a medicine is needed
and when that is the case you will
find Chamberlain's Tablets are ex

their action, easy and pleasant to
take. Give them a trial. They only
cost a quarter.
