Army and Navy to Join in Pro gram of Mimic Warfare. New York, June 3.-Instructions to the fleet for the joint army and navy battle operations against sur rendered German warcraft and the obsolete battleship Iowa off the Vir ginia Capes from June 21st to July 20th, made public today, reveal an .elaborate program of mimic warfare. The enemy vessels to be destroyed by aircraft and gunfire include the U-117, U-140, U-lll, UB-48, the des troyeds G-102,:,S-132, V-43, the cruis er Frankfurt and the battleship Os tifriesland. 0 The former German craft will be brought to the firing point and an chored in position about 50 miles east of Cape Charles light vessel in not less than 50 fathoms of water. If more than one ship of a type to be bombed is in the same vicinity, the submarine or destroyer to be bombed will be distinguished by red, white and blue circles on the deck to avoid confusion. . Opening operations against the U-117 will be launched by seven di visions of naval planes using 163 pound bombs. If this submarine has not been sunk by naval aircraft, army planes will attack with 250 pound bombs. Should the aircraft fail to sink the other submarines, a divis ion of destroyers will attack with gunfire. Attacks by all aircraft will be made at an altitude of not less than 4,000 feet and at maximum speed. The sub marines will be anchored in column formation, 300 yards apart. The sub destroyers, one for each submarine, will then approach from a distance of 5,000 yards and attack, opening fire at not less than 3,000 yards. Each destroyer will be allowed ten rounds per gun. At the conclusion of the gunfire, any submarine afloat will be sunk by depth charges by a wrecking party from the North Dakota. The search for the Iowa will bring into play all the ingenuity of air craft and destroyers. She will move under radio control of the Ohio and at the zero hour will be at some point between the latitude of Cape Hatter as and Cape Henlopen, 50 to 100 miles off shore, steaming at maximum speed in a general direction off the shroe. The Ohio, while controlling the Iowa, will be five miles astern of her. Army and navy seaplanes and four army dirigibles will form a scouting 'line between Cape Hatteras and Cape Henlopen and will scout eastward for 100 miles off shore or until contact is made with the Iowa. As soon as contact is made, aircraft will flash the news giving the position, course and speed of "the enemy." Planes on the scouting line will then assemble by divisions, and proceed to the attack in order to light bombardment squad rons, then heavy bombardment squad rons and seaplanes. Should any? of the German destroy ers remain afloat after the attack by aircraft and destroyers, a division of battleships will finish them at a range of 10,000 yards, using secondary bat teries only. The air attack on the Frankfurt will be with navy 250-pound bombs and army 300-pound bombs. The board of observers will make an ex amination of the ship after each at tack. A second series of attacks will be made with 520-pound bombs. The experiments with the battle ship Osfriesland July 20th include zi series of aerial attacks, each plane dropping two bombs in each attack. 'On the second dfcy, 1,000 pound bombs will be used, and if a hit is scored, 2,000-pound bombs will be dropped. If the bomb attack fails to sink the Ostfriesland, the dreadnaught Penn sylvania will open fire with her main battery at 18,000 yards. Full or half salvos, may be used to obtain the necessary number of hits with the least expenditure of ammunition. If the Ostfriesland is still afloat after the Pennsylvania has used her heavy artillery she will be sunk by depth bombs. Variety Tests With Corn. Clemson College, June 6.-In 1900 the South Carolina Experiment Sta tion began a series of corn variety tests at C?emson College. Later these tests were extended to the Pee Dee Station at Florence and the Coast Station at Summerville. Tne objects of the experiments have been, first, to determine which of the standard varieties most commonly grown in this state are best adapted to soil and climatic conditions, and secondly, to test new varieties and varieties which have made exceptionally good showing in other states. The data obtained from these tests have been published by the Experi ment Station as Bulletin 207, entitled "Variety Tests with Corn." The in formation enables the agronomy di vision to give the farmers of the state reliable advice regarding the merits of the different varieties, and it is hoped to bring about the grad ual elimination from the fields of the state of a large number of inferior varieties. Comparative yields in 1920, for ex ample showed a wide difference in pro duction per acre of the different va rieties, the highest yielding variety at Clemson College making 62.2 bush els per acre, the lowest 37.5 bush els. The difference of 25.1 bushels be tween the highest and lowest yield ing "varieties, due entirely to good seed of a superior variety, illustrates the striking importance of using seed of the best varieties. The bulletin contains a number of tables showing comparative yields with data as to weight of ear of corn, per cent of grain, weight of grain, bushels per acre, etc., and also ta bles showing average yields for cer tain periods of years, the physical characteristics of varieties, sources of seed used, and the rain fall at the three stations. Bulletin 207 is now ready for dis tribution and may be had upon appli cation. ' Rape Pasture Valuable. Clemson College, June 6.-"I be lieve that rape pasture is the best all-round pasture for hogs in South Carolina." This is the statement of Prof. L. V. Starkey, chief of the ani mal division, based on the experience of the animal husbandry division this spring in the use of rape for hogs. "When cur rape pastures were ready to use," says Prof. Starkey, "we cut our grain ration in two for those sows which were turned on the rape pas ture and there was no reduction in weight or thrift." Below are some of the points in favor of rape for pas turing hogs: 1. Rape analyzes as high in protein as cotton seed. 2. Rape will grow anywhere in South Carolina. This is not true of alfalfa, clover, and some other for age crops. 3. Rape makes a splendid pasture in both winter and summer. 4.' Seed and seeding cost less than any other forage crop. 5. Rape is soon ready for pasture, requiring usually abput eight weeks of good growing weather. Precaution. Rape will do better on low, moist fertile soil than on high poor soil. In any case it should not be pastured until about twelve inches high and then not too closely, since enough leaves should be left on the plants for them to get food from the air. It is advisable to have the rape field di vided so that the hogs will not be kept on the same field all the time. Tem porary fences may be used for such division. It is well to feed a small amount of grain to hogs which are on rape pas ture, especially young and growing stock. Brood sows, however, may be maintained on rape pasture with very little or no grain. Shade and water in the rape pas ture are desirable and if it is not present there, the hogs may be turn ed on the rape at night and brought into a lot in the morning for shade and water during the day. This prac tice has been used successfully by the animal husbandry division at Clemson College. If hogs blister while in the rape they should be rubbed with a little oil and should not be turned on pasture until the dew is off, since it is the water on the rape which really causes sunscald or blister. The oil will soothe the blisters and also pre vent the water from adhering to the skin. Weevil Menace Not Known Now. Clemson College, June 2.-"Boll wevils are in my cotton in great numbers. Would you advise me to* plow up the cotton and plant some other crop?" This is a question being asked by hundreds of South Carolina farmers in the infested counties of the state, says Prof. A. E. Conradi, chief of the entomology division, who says that advice from any source concerning this matter is not dependable, for there is no man who can tell in ad vance whether or not it would be wise to plow up cotton and plant other crops on account of boll weevil infes tation. The cotton boll weevil is an insect whose activities depend on weather conditions. If the weather in June and July is comparatively warm and dry, we may expect to make a cotton crop so far as the weevil is concern ed. v In other words, abundance of weevils at this season of the year is no indication of the loss that may be expected, for the reason that so far the weevil has had every advantage and cotton every disadvantage. On the other hand, if June and July are comparatively wet, one may expect severe loss from the boll weevil. It must be remembered that the average South Carolina weather conditions, especially in the southern half of the State, are very favorable to weevil development. During 1920 experiments in poison ing the boll weevil in Georgia, Ala bama and Louisiana, showed gain, notwithstanding the adverse weather conditions. Experimental work, in South Carolina showed no gain, but it must be remembered that the weather conditions were decidedly adverse to poisoning. Until poisoning has reached a more certain and "foolproof" stage cotton growing under boll weewil conditions will continue to be a gamble, sound policy, therefore, demands that every farmer grow his food and feed and raise cotton only as a surplus cash crop. j Every cotton farmer in the infested territory should read most carefully circular 162 of the United States de partment of agriculture, which is very brief and definite discussion the subject of poisoning the weevil A Boy's Bill of Rights.

The Future of the Country Weekly. What is to be the future of the country weekly? This rests with the community and with the publisher. If the community recognizes the value and possibilities of the country week ly and is willing to pay what it is 1 worth, and if the publisher realizes 1 his responsibilities to his community 1 then its future is bright, it will have ^ an important part in building up a * satisfying and wholesome rural life. , First of all, the country weekly of the future will be recognized as a community institution. This means it will be prosperous. The community will realize that it is unwise for the r community to have a newspaper which is not prosperous. The country newspaper of the fu ture will not be sold as a newspaper, 1 but as a community service, just as J the telephone is service. No one thinks 1 a telephone rental of from $12 to j $30 a year is high, yet in the service 3 it renders the paper is quite com- ' parable to the 'phone; and the tele- ' phone receipts can't be used to put on the pantry shelves the way the old newspaper can. A country newspaper ? is worth more than the $1.50 or $2.00 usually charged. The publisher, of course will be a recognized community leader. He . will have emancipated himself from the thraldom of detail. He will have capable girls who can do this sort i of work better than he can do it him- , self. He will never find that he is un able to attend the meeting of the committees in charge of the commu nity house, of which he is chairman, because he has to fix a balky linotype. It goes without saying that he will have a neat well organized and sys tematic front office.^ The people of the community will know also, that they have a part in making it a good paper. As one coun try editor put it, the county weekly is "not ,the sole product of its editor. It is the combined product of its friends, readers and advertisers." No country publisher could ever afford to hire enough reporters to cover his territory as extensively as it should be covered. And it is well he cannot. It is better for the community to feel its responsibility with the editor in making a representative paper.-M. V. Atwood, College of Agriculture, Cornell University, Ithica, N. Y.
