CROP CONDITIONS
ABOVE LAST YEAR
Large Increase In Acreage to Win*
ter Wheat?Hare Makes Report j
Saluda, May 17.?The bureau of
crop estimates 01 wie ui?n^u
department of agriculture has made
known through the office of its ag
cultural statistician for South Cari
lina the following announcement
with reference to crop and live stock
condtions in the state as of May 1.
The acreage of winter wheat is es
timated at 168,000 acres, conditions
84 per cent of normal, total produc
tion being 1,835,000 bushels. This
represents an increase of 8,000
acres over last year but 17,000 acres
less than in *1919. The acreage to be I
harvested for grain in the entire
United States is estimated at 38,-,
721,000 acres in 1920, and 49,105,
000 acres in 1919. Condition of
crop is reported at 88.8 per cent.,
forecasting a production of 629,
287,000 bushels compared with
577,,763,000 bushels last year and
729,503,000 in 1919.

same as that of last year, (24,000 ;
' acres), condition being 85 per cent
of normal. 1
About 86 per cent of the plowing
necessary for spring planting was
completed by May 1, compared with 1
67 per cent on the corresponding 1
date of last year and a ten year 1
average of 84 per cent. However,
germination has been very poor and :
much cotton is being planted over. 1
The early plantings of corn were 1
seriously injured by frosts in April 1
and the low temperature during the 1
past ten days has caused much cot- '
ton to die. ?
The mortality of live stock was
probably lower during the past year
than for many ye$rs previous, due
Jargely to mild winter and disap
pearance of the cattle tick. There >
were some local outbreaks of hog
cholera, but timely inoculations di
rected by county agents prevented
wide spreading.
The number of livestock out of
every 1,000 which died from disease
or exposure during the past year
was as follows: Mules and horses,

Condition of all live stock on May

swine, 90.

MANUAL ISSUED
Charlotte, Mich., May 17.?To be
a perfect lady a girl can not use
rouge, wiggle, toddle, chew gum or
cross her legs in public, nor sing rag
time.
'So says Mrs. James Randolph,
club-woman and head of the Eaton
County League for Reforming High
School Girls.
A "Manual of Manners" has been
prepared by the league, Mrs. Ran
dolph says. It will be supplied to
every high school girl in Eaton
County and later it is planned to ex
tend the work of the organization to
other cities
The manual, which contains forty
two pages, deals with everything
from a "come hither eye" to eating
two pieces of ^cake at parties.
According to the manual how can
a girl be a perfect lady if she:
Crosses her legs in the street cars
or other public places?
Chews gum in public?
Receives her boy friends on the
street comers or in dark nooks in
the parks?
Powders her nose in public?
Tells her girl friend in shrill
tones in the movie theater what her
boy friend said the previous night?
Uses rouge or a lip stick?
Toddles or wiggles at dances?
The manual says "it can't be
done."
The "modern Hoyle" also points
out to girls that their boy friends
are not "Chesterfields" if they?
Loll in front of pool halls, flicking
admiring eyes at passing girls.
Insist on monopolizing a popular
girl at dances.
Ignore the "wall flowers."
Remain at girls* homes after Iff
j'clock at night.
Dance cheek-to-cheek.
Hold their hands in their pockets.
Whistle in public.
Parents also come in iot a iew

;hem not to bar daughter's 'sweetie'
from their home and thus encourage
her to meet him on the corner.

PINK BOLL WORM
GETS ATTENTION
Washington, May 17.?Plans for
carrying on a war of extermination
against the pink boll worm were
discussed here today at a conference
between representatives from every
cotton growing state and the de
partment of agriculture. A commit
+ ?A n-t twrt frftm ssfcatp was I 1

named to draw up a campaign to be 3
presented at session of the confer- 2
ence tomorrow.
Texas has failed to provide ade- ^
quate measures for confining the f
pest within areas discovered in the 1
state, Chairman Marlat of the fed- 1
eral horticulture 'board told the con
ference. Unless Texas was willing to i
cooperate fully with the other states <
he added, the latter would be a com- '
pelled to employ measures to pro- 1
tect themselves through quarantine. <
Delegates from Texas disagreed
with some of the criticisms, con
tending that the question was a na
tional one and hta responsibility for
the entrance of the pink boll worm
from Mexico lay with the federal
government and not with Texas.
The federal governmnt had control
of the border, they added. I

The danger spot now lies in the
nfestation in the El P*iso district
)f Texas, Charman Marlat said, add
ng that in his opinion, the only way
;o create a non-cotton zone. Repre
sentative Hudspeth of Texas said
;he problem required the coopera
tion of Mexico and that creation of
i n on-cotton zone along the Ameri
ian side of the border would be use
ess in stamping out the pest unless
Mexico created a similar non-cotton
;one on her side of the boundary.
Other Texans said they had ,in
'ormation that the governor of that
itate was planning to .submit the
Arhole question to a session of the
egislature.
A suggestion that the federal
jovernment should reimburse the
m++nTi otowpis in the non-cotton
jones instead of the stales, was fa
vored and referred to the special
:ommittee.
