ENTOMOLOGIST- WARNS '
OF TINK BOOL WORM
Formern Freed to Wnteh Closely for
i . Signa of l'eut Herc f/dngerous
Taen Doll WcerflL
CLEMSON COLLEGE, Nov. ll.
State Entomologist A. ir. Conradl, of
Clemson College urges cotton farmers
to bo awake to tue dangers of the pink
boll wpnn of cotton and to learn
enough about this pest to detect lt
the instant lt appears in a field in
South Carolina.. if. it should appear.
Pr?T. Cnnradl states that the pink
worm* is tho most destructive of all
cotton insects and tho fact that it
has been introduced into Florida has
led him to prepare a statement which
will help tho farmer o to recognize the
pink boll worm or suspect-its pres
ence in their fields should it be there.
The damage done by the boll weevil in
the South has been BO vast that tho
entomologist urges Southern farmers
to go to any. length to prevent an
other such insect enemy from gain
ing.a foothold in this, country.
Vigilance pt the most-wide-awake
sort IB-advised and, though the pink
poll -worm may never h? Introduced
into the State and though outbreaks
whenever they occur may bo stamped
out successfully, lt will bo well for
all formera to be on the safe aide and
take the time necessary to learn
som otb in g about this insect. . Prof.
Conradl advises all farmers ?to write
to tho United States Department of
J Agriculture for a bulletin on the pink
boll-worm .hy W. P. Hunt, lBBued Aug
ust 7.,,1914. This will give them the
necessary information.
. The immature stages of the pink,
hoi 1 worm occur- in Egyptian cotton
S?jd and furnish a ready means of
artificial. 'spread ovor great distan
ces. In ?912 the State Entomologist Of
Arizona seised 500 pounds bf Egyp
tian cottonseed which contained thia
pest Those who have studied the
situation .carefully have always be
lieved that the pink worm could es
tablish /itself in this country if in
troduced and its presence Would
greatly., increase the . . difficulties of
producing cotton. Though the gov
ernment: has established a quarantine
against all cottonseed from, foreign
countries, it appears that bales of
Egyptian cotton? unlike our short sta
ple bales, carry a comparatively large
amount of. seed, which: Would make
sucn shipmonta especially dangerous
wh?n'-coming from pink boll worm
infested, territory. ? .
Tho, ty brm injures squares and bolls
causing them to drop and in bad
infestations damaging tho.crop to tho
extent of BO per cent. Where a single
lock1 of, boll lo infested, the other looks
open prematurely, causing short and
kinky fibre.'Thu value bf fiber is fur
thormore reduced by the insect's habit j
pf staining ead it appears' that it also
causes .:r?dh?tion . of ol? in-the . seed,

MARKET REPORT
Financial
... (By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK. Nov. 12.-An lmport
antdevcloptnciit toward the , resump
tion of. regular operations in tho lead
ing financial markets of the world was
recorded today, when sterling ex
change fell to normal rates. - Cables
on London were quoted at 4.87 8-4 and
sight drafts at 4.87. There were heavy
offerings of bills, but buyers were
scarce.
Exchange on Germany fell to a new
low figure, ' the decline being attend
ed by reporto of the establishment of
additional merchandise cr?dita by
Hamburg and Frankfort interests.
There were indications that prepar
ations were being quietly made to re
open the stock exchange, presumably
only, for cc sh. Announcement was
on a restricted bunin, with dealings
made that some houses with exchange
memberships were reinstalling private
wires to out of town points.
Advices from London were less re
assuring, so far as they had to do
with the resumption of market deal
ings there. The government's refus
al to extend the moratorium would, it
is feared) necessitate more liquidation,
especially in American issues. For the
first time in some weeks, the Bank
v3f England failed to show a gold in
crease in .its returns. Instead, the
bank. lost about a million dollars, in
cidentally Bhowing a slight falling off
in liability resorves.
The ruling of the federal reserve
I hoard definlnfl commercial paper is
expected to mdko some changes in
rates Boon after the new system gets
under .way. Additional retirement of
?emergency currency was reported-by
local bunko, bringing the total of that
movement to date to over $46,000,000.

DISCUSSES MEAT SHORTAGE
CHICAGO, m.. Nov. ll.-Address
ing on audience composed of stock
raisers from practically overy state in
tho Union, at the National Dairy Show
'convention hero recently, Secretary
Houston of the. United States Depart
ment of Agriculture declared tho
short meat supply to bo ono of tho
most serious problems confront lng tho
American agriculture Mr. Houston
approved the plan of cattlo raising on
large ranches and declared that no
effort would bo spared by the Federal
government in further increasing pro
duction from this source but insisted
that the proper solution o? this prob
lem depended on an increased inter
est in live-stock raising by /armers
and in moro systematic control and
eradication of hog cholera, cattlo tick
and tuberculosis.
Figures wore quoted from Govern
ment reports, showing that the pro
duction of meat in tho United States
during tho past 14 years had fallen
off 3,000,000,000 pounds and that tho
population of tho nation during this
timo had increased 22,000.000.
A plan has been developed and
proven successful by which tho Stato
uses ita sovorlgn power..to; pr?vido
homesteads",of small "lots", of land
26 acres to tho family, allowing easy
payments for long time, with oppotx
tunity ot export direction va that tho
inexperienced laboror may become an
expert farmer and pr?vido an inde
pendent homo for his children, co
operating in communities, developing
tho human assot as well as tho .land
to ita highest efficiency.' , -
