^ '-m. V0L 25 ~ CHERAW, S. C., NOVEMBER 3, 1921 " NO. 52 outline program TO MEET WEEYI1 Combating of Pest Serious Problem Group of Planters and Extension M ori erg Give Helpful Suggestions. Some weeks ago a number of business men of the state realizing that there is a crying need for a well thought out program for agicultural procedure under boll weevil conditions asked Dr. W. W. Long and R. I. Manning to form a committee of well qualified men to formulate such a program for the state. These gentlemen appointed the following committee, which met the Co. lumbia on September 27: Dr. W. W. Long, Wade Drake, J. Ross Hanahon. R. C. Hamer, J. W. Gaston, G. W. Duvall, Dr. W. C. Brown, R. B. Cun ningham, B. W. Segars, R. I. Manning and D. R. Coker. Mr. Coker was selected as chairman and Mr. Cunning, ham as secretary. All were present except Mr. Hamer. The opinions of every member as to the best farming methods for boll weevil conditions were fully expressed and all agreed on the main features of a program. A subcommittee, consisting of B. W. Segars, R. B. Cunningham, J. W. Gaston, Dr. W. W. Long and D. R. Coker, was appointed to draft the program. This committee met 1n Columbia October 5, all pres. ent except Dr. Long, who was represented by Mr. Blackwell, and the accompanying program and recommendations are the result of their work. This program in substantially its present form . was submitted to all the members of the committee. Mr. Drake^s approval of the program has noA been received and Mr. Hamer has withheld approval as he considers it conflicts with the cotton association's plan of not more than one-fourth of any farm being planted to cotton. The program was submitted to a meeting or rarm demonstration agents ai Clemson college Friday, October 7, and was discussed and approved. The program, therefore, goes to the peo. pie with the authority of a strong and experienced committee and with the o. k. of the extension department. The suggested program follows: SUGGESTED PROGRAM FOR FARM. IXG IX SOUTH CAROLIX V UXDER BOLL WEEVIL COXDITIOXS The march of the boll weevil aero?.-1 the cotton belt has been accompanied by panic and demoralization. Farmers, bankers and merchants frighten, ed by one or two years of heaVy losses, have in many cases, curtailed operations and credits to the point where farming was stifled and labor was forced to leave the country to preven starvation. There are signs that a similar panic may occur in parts of this state unless means are taken to reassure the people and point out a safe course for agricultural operations end a group of practical farmers and business men in cooperation with the under boll weevil conditions. To this % and where proved successful should Extension Bureau have studied the be increased as rapidly as the people situation in the light of their own experience and that of other states and the accumulated experimental results of governmental agencies and beg leave to present the following suggestions and program as one which will meet the situation, preventing deraor. auzauon anu euaunng uur winning and business interests to continue profitable operations. It is especially important to prevent our people from stampeding into new and untried fields of agriculture in which they will fail for lack of Information and experience. Promising new crops should of course be tested The problem is not so much as to (what to do as it is how to reassure the people and get the information of how to proceed to every farmer, renter, and sharecropper in the state. This must be done if it is done at all hy the larger farmers, merchants, bankers and professional men who should make it their business to reach the isolated farmers and tenants and discuss wiith them the program of operations under boll weevil conditions. The greatest responsibility rests upon the landowners. If they are going to continue to own their lands they will be obliged to see to it that those who farm them have correct Instruction and active supervision until he thoroughly learns the new methods of operation. A few broad principles of operation for the whole state may be suggested: First, Destroy immediately all cotton stalks as soon as the crop is gathered. This will prevent the hatching of millions of new weevils during October. The old weevils do not hibernate until cold weather and the destruction of their food supply will cause them to die before frost. The carrying out of this suggestion ac once is imperative and every effort should be made to induce every farmer in th state to do this work at once. L Second, During the fall and winter j destroy all cover in which weevils may be hiding, burning ditch banks and . margins of woods and ^cleaning up around stump.s Fodder and hay! i stacks should not be allowed to remain near cotton fields. Third, Cotton should be liberally fer tilized with a quick acting fertilizer ; containing about 50 lbs. of available phosphoric acid per acre, ammonia [ and potash to be used according to the i character and relative fertility of the soil. All applications of ammonia should be put down before the middle of June. Over-doses of potash have a tendency to delay maturity and encourages overgrowth of stalk. Fourth, Early planting of approved varieties of cotton with plenty of seed. The farmer should have at least 3 bu. of good seed foi^each acre he is going to plant. He should plant at least two bushels before April 1st in the lower half of the state and before April 10th in the upper half of the state reserving a bushel per acre. If a stand is not secured by the first planting he should plant over not later than Apriil 10 in the lpwer half or April 20 in the upper half. If large quantities of seed are used good stands are usually secured from extra euly plantings and the experience is th^t under boll weevil conditions the greatest crops are always made from the earliest plantings . If Stands are not secured at a comparatively early stage the land in tended for cotton should be put into other crops. Fifth, Cotton should be left thick in the drill. This distance should vary with the height of the natural growth of the plant, 3 or 4 in. not being too close as a minimum and 8 or 10 as a maximum. Sixth, The question of poisoning for boll weevil is still in the experimental state but your committee believe that poisoning with calcium arsenate is valuable, especially if done at the proper time and under favorable conditions. Heavy damage from plant lice following dusting with calcium arsenate early last August makes doubtful as to this treatment when applied at that time. The weevils should also be picked from the plant ill uic can) siagco anu ao owu uo punctured squares are noticed they should be picked up twice per week until mid-summer. In no case should nlore cotton be planted than can be properly handled at all stages and promptly picked by the labor on thi farm, for it is the height of folly to plant a crop and let the boll weevil eat it up for lack of attention or allow it to become blue in the fields for lack of inckins force. Everywhere it must bo insisted o that the individual farmer and tenant raise an abundant supply of food and feed and that this food and feed be properly conserved. The man with r crib full of corn and hay, a smoke house full of moat and molasses, a hundred bushels of sweet potatoes a storage house, and a garden full of vegetables cannot be put out of business by the boll weevil or any other pest. Storage houses for keeping sweet potatoes should be everywhere constructed as this is one of the greatest crops we have and one which every farmer can raise. ' For rppor Coastal Plain and Sand llill Kegion. The cotton acreage here may be regu lated according to the available labor to take care of cultivation, weevil control and prompt gathering. In nc case, however, should more than 50% be put into cotton and tobacco together. A liberal acreage should go into corn and velvet beans. Hogs should be carried on every farm and cattle where possible. Sorghum, peas, sweet potatoes and in some cases peanuts should be planted. In every county the farmers should utilize fully the Government farm experts. No one can advise intelligently and correctly ju-t what each indiviual farmers should do. The demonstration agent, however, can tell you exactly what to do for he knows your conditions and has available all the necessary information to advise you upon each detail. The year 1921 has been more favorable for the boll weevil than any sinct he entered the belt in 1892. Consequently he has done more damage than ever before. His damage next year and succeeding years will depend on weather conditions and the intelligence and industry used in lighting him. We urge all our citizens to cooperate to carry this message to every farmer and farm tenant in the state. Unless i the main features of the above pro' grain are generally adopted the whole j state will suffer. Last but not least call on the Extension Agents and Clemson College I to help In every problem. 1). R. C'OKKR, For the Committee. o College Sweaters, $4.9S to $15.00 at J. S. Burch Co.

To satisfy the demands of fans in every quarter of the United States and Canada who could not be reached quickly enough by the press and who could not crowd in at the newspaper i bulletin boards during the world series j&st ended, the Western Union Company, in addition to providing telegraph circuits for all the press associations and for scores of individual newspapers was obliged to set up a-"circuit" containing over 45,000 miles of wire. The company chose its most expert baseball reporter to manipulate the "master key" at the Polo Grounds. This key flashed the signals thorugh a mass of multiple "repeaters" which connected up all the large centers on the North American continent, and from each of these centers a further net-work of wires was set up to supply city and hamlet in the immediate neighborhood with a full and detailed description of every ball pitched, every decision of the umpires and every movement of the players. Hundreds of thousands of fans seated in theatres armories, open-air coliseums and other temporary meeting grounds often knew that the ball just pitched was a called strike before many of those at the Polo Grounds could catch sight of the signal on the great score-board behind left field to which they had to refer when they missed the gesture of the umpire himself; for the "master key" knew everything, and translated the intricate mysteries of every game into the language of fandora, and flashed the magic words to the cheering multitudes with the speed of light. The description was sent from sight, no "copy" being supplied to this operator-reporter, who flashed the plays exactly as he saw them before a pencil could have written them down. An idea of the magnitude of the circuit which furnished the news of every game simultaneously to all the hundreds of cities connected to it, without the intervention of any human agency other than the man at the Polo Grounds and his worthy assistant, may be gathered from the fact that a vast rectangle, New York to Montreal, Toronto, Detroit, Chicago, Win nipeg, Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, PhoenixAlbuquerque, San Antonio, New Orleans, Jacksonville, Savannah, Wilmington and Norfolk, back to New York via Pnstnn anH fViot hofwoft,, 'hese fringes of the electrical spider'.web side lines criss-crossed and intersected each other at every Important repeater point of the Western Union system, and extended to the haunts of the fans in many a village whose total population is less than a thousand souls, mostly rooters. Suggestions from Our Readers. The rain brought the following suggestion from a business man: , "The crossings at the town hall cor- ^ tier after every rain are in bad shape ^ and I want to suggest that the town to eliminate this, put down cement covering the centers of the street around the "Go to the right" light post . and reaching up Second street as far as the Covington Hotel and down Sec- ^ ond street to Ladd's Drug Store, up Market street for about 20 ft. and down Market street for the same distance. This would keep the mud off of the crossing and help the looks of the square a hundred fold." ] Another business man suggests: "Call attention to auto drivers dim- 1 ming their lights. I came near having i serious accident because of someone . driving meeting me blinded me with his high powered auto lights. It is positively dangerous for ladies to drive a car after night because of thought, less drivers failing to dim their lights. Editor's Note: We think both of the above suggestions deserve the consideration of our readers. 1 The paving of the corner at the town ' hall would certainly add to the sightly. 1 ness of the corner and would be a fair i start toward obtaining our ambition I to see the business streets all paved < an dlt would certainly eliminate the 1 muddy crossing trouble. The other suggestion with reference I to dimming automobile lights is we ( think, covered by an ordinance, if not 1 it certainly ought to be. However, it should not be necessary to have to resort to the law to get on- people to i observe the rule of throwing on dim- i mers when meeting a car. No one wants to cause an accident so we beg < those driving at night to have consid- , eration for the other fellow. o Hyacinth & Narcissus bulbs ready potted for 25c at J. S.

An important meeting of all Merchants, Farmers and Business mec will be held in the Court House al Chesterfield oh Monday Nov. 7th al eleven o'clock. Mr. W. J. Tiller County Agent has called the meeting to outline a program in farming to defeat the Boll Weevil. Everybody who is interested in the welfare of his business ,and county is urged to be present. Mr. R. C. Hamer will be on hand to present the cooperating marketing idea. % Everybody is urged to be at this meeting. T. P. C. A. Meeting. The Young Peoples' Christian Asso. ciation held their regular Tuesday evening service in the Episcopal churc last Tuesday evening, and a good program was rendered with Miss Blanch Poston as leader. Miss Lucile Poston reau ^Genesis 3rd Chapter 2-24. A dialogue on "The Fall of Man" taken from the 2nd and 3rd Chapters of Genesis, was given by Misses Elizabeth Stricklin and Annie Laurie McBurney. Miss Viola Sanborn recited "Room' at the Top" and Miss Mary McLeod gave a very interesting reading on "God and His Relation to Man." Miss Queen Godfrey at the piano and Mr. Sumwalt with his violin furnished the music, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. A number of yisltors were present and their presence was appreciated, ty and we hope visitors will feel at liberty to attend the meetings each week. The next meeting will be held in the Methodist church next Tuesday evening at 7:30 and it is hoped that there will be a very large attendance. 0 P. A. R. Meeting. The Old Cheraw's Chapter D. A. R. held a very delightful meeting at the home of Mrs. L. A. Meiklejohn on the afternoon of Oct. 26th. The 9ubject of study for the afternoon was "Our Town" and the members very appropriately responded to roll call with the names of town afflcials. After hearing some interesting current events in National and State D. A. it. circles read by Mrs. E. W. Duvall, :he following program, replete with nolufnl information was coven: "Form of Government and Duties ind Powers of Officials" by Mrs. W. P. Pollock. Short talks on the various departments: "Health and Judiciary" by Mrs. C. L. Prince. "Education" by Miss Strother and "Public Works" by Mrs. L. A. Meiklejohn. During the social hour a delicious ice course was served by the hostess. The meeting then adjourned. o WEEKLY COTTON LETTER. By Savannah Cotton Factorage Co. (All inquiries answered promptly.) The cotton market has suffered from lack of support during the past week. The scarcity of money reduced the number of outside speculators, leaving the market in the hands of professionals. There was some complaint of a poorer demand, but exports held up and cotton offered for sale found buyers at about 25 points off January futures for Middling. January high during the week was 19.28 on October 28th, and the low was 17.85 today, Nov. 1st. It is hoped that a better demand will appear in the near future, as this is the one thing needed to start a bull market Germany is reported to be buying cotton for shipment from January to July 1922 and no doubt other countries will get their share during the season. The next Ginners' Report will be published on November 9th, at 10 A. M. . ( h GRAVES IN ST. DAVID'S CEMETERY CIIERAW Near the rear of the church is the I grave of p Miss Flora Mclver Died June 7, 1886 e She was a first cousin of Judge Edward Mclver. She with Miss Hannah v' Wilson, both young ladie3 of Cheraw, k together with several other prominent II people from Charleston, were killed r in the great Santee River trestle * wreck, the train falling through the V trestle while on its wky from Charleston to Cheraw. 1 Just a few days before this wreck ? the Erauee of the rnilrnaH had hoon changed. Up to that time different roads had different gauges and it was B decided to make all the roads stand1 ard. This work was done in a day and 1 it was thought that the wreck was caused by the rails spreading on ac* count of not being spiked well in the 5 hurried change of gauge. ) J. L. IRBY DIES IN NORTH CAROLINA 1 ' Prominent South Carolinian Passes Away for Pneumonia. Funoral at Hagood Today. % i . The State Nov. 2. News was received in Columbia yesterday of tbe death at Greensboro, N. ' C., of J. L. Irby of Boykin, who pass| ed away after a brief illness. Mr. Irby attended the state fair in Colum! bia last week, going from here to North Carolina. He contracted pneumonia and died within a few days. Funeral services will be held at Shi loh church, Hagood, at 3.30 o'clock this afternoon. No doubt a number of Columbians will go to Hagood fbr the funeral as Mr. Irby was well known in the capital city. He was always keenly interested in he welfare of the state fair and was an annual exhibitor of horses up until three or four years ago. He was at one time an officer of the society. Mr. .Irby was horn in Marlboro county November 21, 1864, and therefore if he had lived a few weeks longer he would have been 57 years of age. H< served on Gen. Wilie Jones' staff in the Spanish-American war. He was a charter member of the South Carolina club which for so many years gave the state ball. Mr. Irby was a planter Surviving are his wife who was before marriage to him was Mrs. B. C. a Trippett, a daughter of Colonel Cash; t and two sister3, Mrs. James McArthur e and Mrs. A. F. Htlliard of Cheraw, and t one brother, John D. Irby of Marlboro t county, and one daughter, Mrs. Carl Emmanuel of Boykin. f t THEY ARE WEARING i 1 Red and orange and blue were the outstanding millinery colors. v Square veils with embroidery or f chenille dot trimming are being worn E extensively with dark fall hats. The ^ high colors in millinery seem natur B ally to call for two toned French dots F and these are frequently seen on and ' around Fifth avenue. 1 Suede combinations in footwear are favored at present and are being ^ worn with light tweed suits particu- * larly, o rwith any fall suit that is in E a moderately light tone. The colors Q most often seen on the street are gray u with black gunmetal or patent leather f while some people seem to prefer 1 shades of brown and tan. 0 Two women were seen on the Ave- 0 f nue this week wearing French oxfords of gray suede with V-shaped inserts d e? gray elastic at each side. c All black costumes are relieved p with bright touches of red. Red heels on patent leather slippers was the f color on one costume otherwise all r black. Another woman painted her lips a bright red to match her bright a red leather handbag she carried . 4 A hip length nutria cape gathered into a band was seen on the Avenue, j, Tweed suits are popular, with blue t a favorite, but all high shades rep. j resented. Small hats, often of felt, g wool hose, and low heeled strapped 0 slippers have generally accompanied them, the hose and hats usually ti matching the color of the suit. ti A coat seen on Fifth avenue was a made in the style of a coat dress, with e bloused upper section, made of black r caracul, and snugly fitting skirt sec- l; tion of black cloth. t Wool scarfs are out in great num- c bers, these worn usually in prefer- t ence to furs with tweeds and homespuns.

THE ROMANCE IF A HOT BISCUIT Reaching across the breakfast table for a hot biscuit does not at first seem romantic. j There is romance, however, even in a mundane hot biscuit. Its exis- J tence is possible only after hundreds, yes, thousands of years of experimentation. Romance is all along the fi backward way from the modern mill, to the days of the quern, the saddle stone, and the old old rounded grinding stone of the Stone Age. Those ancient forefathers, or rather foremothers of mankind, first ground Sr their grains and nuts by using a round piece of sandstone a3 a grinder, and another stone, the surface of a rock, as a base. T< Then came the saddle stone, a concave base qn which grain was spread and rubbed into a coarse meal. Thei 19 dough was laid on heated flat or con- of vex stones covered with hot ashes and ca baked. bl Somewhere around 200 B. C. the sc liiern came into use. One stone re- ' solved and crushed the grain against on another. Huge mill stones driven by bc vater power are credited to the Ro- nil mans; steam power to the men of the pr L8th century. Romance is ?->mis found tw jven in a pan of hot biscuits. a Bake ovens of a kind, have been di- ne covered in tne ruined courtyards of sci he ancient Chaldeans. Apparently 1 ;ach houreholder possessed one where Ot some kind of cakes or biscuits were du >aked. be Modern grinding of wheat might du )e called the first step toward the ichievement of present day hot bis- ni? suits; a knowledge of the uses of be reast and baking povtfer the second; toj nd the manufacture of self-rising lour which began in Charleston, S. C. ind enabled housewives to prepare / lot biscuits and bread more easily ind economically than before, the hird and last. E" Over 10,000,000 barrels of self-rising lour are now being sold annually in he Southeast alone. Biscuits are as sommon there as soda crackers -and ringer crackers are in the North. Self-rising flour is nothing more or No ess than high grade of plain flour, >lus refined acid phosphate, ordinary 2i >aking soda, and dry table salt?sub- 3i itantially the same chemical properies as appear in the usual baking 51 owder formula. The acid phosphate 61 ind soda, under the influence of moisure and heat, react and liberate leav- ^ ming gas, which bubbles up, giving 8t o the dough the light, cellular struc- 9t ure required for perfect baking. 101 Calcium phosphate, used in this ll? lour, is necessary for perfect nutriion. "Cereals & Cereal Products" 3sued by the U. S. Department of Agriculture states that: ^ "Phosphate is perhaps the most aluable of all the mineral foods of ilants. It is certain that phosphate No lays a most important role in {he ital organism, aside from its useful- ^1 less in the building of bone. Phos- 3i hate is quite as indispensable as 4t vater or air to vegetable or animal ife." 6t 7t The usual formula for baking pow- 11 ler and that for the self-rising flour s about the same, except that bak- ^ ig powder Contains a considerable uantity of corn starch or some filler 111 ised as a preservative.. The manu. acture rof self-rising flour has inteligently added just the right quantity f ingredients to a barrel of flour to liable the housewife to prepare her ... .of Doa properiy. x\o overaose or unaer- * ose is possible. * Baking powder, however, on acount of the necessity of covering the rice of cans, corn starch ar.d the. remendous cost of distribution costs c he consumer at the rate of $4 a bar el. A barrel of ilour, containing sclfising ingredients has but 25 cents tei dded to its cost. Adding a loss of ch 0 cents worth of flour which has to e taken out to make room for these ^ ngredients gives a total of 6."> cents, 'his is a saving of $3.35 a barrel. Or ^ te 10,000,000 barrels used in the loutheast annually it means a saving f $33,500,000. Self-rising flour has been subjected o the closest scrutiny and examlna- ^ ion by many State and National food . uthorities who have'never questionco d its purity and wholesomeness. No ur ule or regulation has ever been pubIshed to prohibit its sale, all author!ies recognizing the saving to the no onsnmnt. nn.1 f V. ^ I uiiouujci cxiiu iuc ausuiuic puiiijr ui ^ he product. , o ty Mrs. E.
