Summary of Crop Conditions
With The Prospects Outlined
For The New Yield of 1916
A careful study of the situation for
jri ti e past week or since the last govern-
P' meat report was issued on the crop
conditoins we are convinced that the
report was really better than the con
ditions would warrant. When we take
into consideration the fact that this
report was made so soon after the re
cent rains and floods, it is very easily
understood how this could be.
People are prone to put the best side
front; to make things look better than
they really are, and those people who
make the reports on the crop condi
tions in their respective localities are
no exception to this rule. The govern
ment investigators approached them at
a time when they were excited over
the conditions, and they reported with
out due and careful consideration of
the matter in hand, with the result that
the hopes of the country have been
buoyed up over the the prospects of an
average crop, that is in comparison
with thee rop of 1915.
Right here in this particular section
it is pretty generally conceded that the
loss to the cotton crop on account of
the recent and continuous heavy rains,

however, is a mere bagatelle, as com
pared with the loss in some other sec
tions, and even in some of our nearby
counties the loss from the rains alone
will not be over 20 per cent. This,
is estimated at fully 50 per cent., to
say nothing of the ravages of the boll
weevil. In some sections where both
tie boll weevil and the floods have been
at work the loss will be great.
The past week in this particular
sections weather conditions have been
most favorable. The sun has been
shining for most of the time, and the
farmers have taken advantage of it by
putting the finishing touches to their
crops in the plowing, and killing the
grass where possible. But, notwith
standing they have been as careful as
possible in this final cultivation to do
so in such away as would not cause
the cotton to shed its fruit. Reports
reach us, however, that in most in
stances where plowing has been done
at all since the rain that cotton is
shedding considerably. Such as this
however, if the seasons are favorable
from now on may put on a top crop,
which in a great measure will make
up for the reduced primary yield.
But, as a rule, the second crop can
never be depended upon with any de
gree of certainty.
From all over the state come glove,
ing accounts of the corn crop. Opin
ion has it that thee rop as a whole was
never better in the state, and especial
ly is this true of this section. We were
told by a farmer the other day that
Sumter county would produce more
corn this year than ever in her his
tory, “and the beauty about it,” con
tinued this farmer, 'we have plenty of
hogs and cattle to consume all that
we make. Hereafter the farmers of
this section, at least, are going to live
at home and board at the same place.”
There is every prospect for an abun
dant crop of peas, peanuts, sweet po
tatoes, velvet and soy beans. The
acreage planted to these products this
year is more than ever before so we
are reliably informed. We are also
told that an immense quantity of hay
has been saved by the farmers.
There is always the sweet with the
titter, and this will prove true with
the farmer this year, so far as the
short crop of cotton is concerned, in
that he is going to get for his cotton
a good price, byway of compensation
for the short crop.
From all over the South Atlantic
states the reports are very discourag
ing, and the result has been that cot
ton has reached another and new high
record, it being quoted at 13.95, the
highest price for the staple in six
years.
The present high prices that are pre
vailing for cotton is giving much en
couragement to the holders of the bal
ance on hand of the 1915 crop, and by
those who will be shortly marketing
the new. With the tendency is going
to be to hold on to the crop as long as
possible by the farmer, and in this he
should be helped and encouraged by
the banker and business man. for the
better price he gets for his cotton the
better able he will be to meet the obli
gations he has incurred with the
banker and the merchant.
jERVIGES A l .AMERICUS
CHUfIGHES AS USUAL
Rev. O. P. Bentley, cf Camilla,
preached two strong and interesting
sermons at the First Baptist church
Sunday. Splendid congregations
greeted him at both services. A fea
ture of the morning service was the
solo by Wyatt Chapman, and which
was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
Services at the other churches
throughout the city were, as usual, the
local ministers filling their respective
pulpits. Representative congrega
tions were present at them all. The
Sunday school attendance was also
food, the usual interest being mani
fested in the lesson and other ser
vices.
CARE OF THE TEETH
IS DR.PABK’S TOPIC
(Issued by State Board of Health;
written by Emory R. Park, M. D.)
“It is better to take pains than to
have pains take you.” One of the best
ways to avoid pain is to keep the
teeth clean. Tooth brushes are cheap
and water in most places is free, and
by using them many aches and pains
can be avoided and much money can
be saved that would otherwise be
spent for dental repairs, doctor’s bills
and drug store supplies.
Pure food laws and inspectors have
dene much in the way of eliminating
impure foods from the market, but
pure foods at once become impure, if
chewed with dirty teeth.
The enamel covering of a tooth is
hard, but rather brittle; therefore,
I eople should not pick their teeth with
a knife, with pins or other metal sub
stances, or crack nuts or bite other
hard objects, as such practices are apt
to crack the enamel and permit germs
to get in their dirty work.
Much good can be done by brushing
the teeth before going to bead and
after breakfast. They should be
v. ashed after every meal, just as the
dishes are. It is a good plan to have
a dentist look over the teeth every
six months. In this way small holes
will be discovered and can be filled
before much of the tooth is destroyed
and before toothache and abscesses be
gin. It is also less expensive and less
painful to have as mall hole filled.
Children’s first teeth should be cared
for the same as the teeth of adults;
otherwise the second set is apt to
come in crooked. Decayed teeth in
children and in adults frequently lead
tc indigestion, because the food can
not be ground up properly, but is
swallowed in indigestible lumps; and.
also,. the food being mixed with count
less germs in the mouth, will ferment
and sour in the stomach and intes
tines. This leads to poor nutrition,
wihch leads to weakness, which in
turn pre-disposes to many diseases.
A tooth should not be pulled out, if
doing so can be avoided, for not only
will its grinding surface be lost, but
part of the surface of the two teeth
that oppose it will be lost also. It is
marvelous what dentists can. do in
the way of straightening crooked
teeth and putting them in line. By
having them properly lined up the ap
pearance of the face and mouth are
greatly improved, and the total masti
cating surface is increased.
Babies should be prohibited from
sucking their thumbs, and if older
children have adenoids, such growths
should be removed. Thumb sucking
and adenoids cause disfiguration of the
arches of the mouth and cause the
teeth to come in out of line.

SEVERE PUNISHMENT
Os Mrs. Chappell, of Frro Tears’
Standinj, Relieved by Cardui.
Mt. Airy, N. C.—Mrs. Sarah M. Chap
pell of this town, says: “1 suffered tor
five years with womanly troubles, also
stomach troubles, and my punishment
was more than any one could tell.
I tried most every kind of medicine,
but none did me any good.
I read one day about Cardui, the wo
man’s tonic, and I decided to try it. I
had not taken but about six bottles until
1 was almost cured. It did me more
good than all the other medicines I had
tried, put together.
My friends began asking me why 1
looked so well, and I told them about
Cardui. Several are now taking it."
Do you, lady reader, suffer from any
of the ailments due to womanly trouble,
such as headache, backache, sideache,
sleeplessness, and that everlastingly tired
feeling?
If so, let us urge you to give Cardui a
trial, we feel confident it will help you,
just as it has a million other women in
the past half century.
