P. Blackwell, agronomist. Good results were secured at both the Pee Dee and the main station at the college. This year (1921) the project station under a heavy infestation of the boll weevil and under very adverse conditions. At the main station at Clemson College in 1920, the WannamakerCleveland Big Boll gave the highest yield?1672 pounds of see- i cotton per acre. The second hignest yv;iJ was secured by the Piedmont Cleveland? 1654 pounds. The lowest yield w?s that of the Toole from the N. L. Wil let Seed Co., Augusta, Ga.,?872 pounds. One of the most interesting features of the test at this station was the high yield secured from the Deltatype Webber, a long staple variety. This gave a yield of 1584 pounds of seed cotton per acre, and the Webber 49 gave a yield of 1314 pounds per acre. At the Pee Dee expeiiment station the Dixie-Triumph was tne oest variety, making: 1927 pounds of seed cotton per acre, while the Wannamaker-CIeveiand Big Bol! was second in rank with a yield of 1875 pounds. The lowest yielding variety in this test ti-oo \'n 14. a lony sta *?UO tiAV AAM4 ? .i4w - ^ ~ j 0 , pie, which gave a yield of 11H2 pounds as compared with 1350 pounds from the Dcltatype Webber. Both of these long staple varieties are early, having large .bolls and long staple which make them very valuable un^ dcr boll weevil conditions. This year's data (1921) are not yet complete, but the results under heavy boll weevil infestation check very closely with those of last year and ? ~ ~ -?<-v11n-.vir>o jusuiy recyiiiiiiciiuni^i varieties of cotton under boll weevi! conditions: Short Staple varieties: (1) Cleveland Big Boll, for the wilt-free land, (2) Dixie Triumph for wilt-infested land.

Craig, 'state bank examiner today in discuss- *r ling the financial situation in South I Carolina. Very few of the banks j have closed their doors permanently, J j he said, commenting on the close co- ^ j operation of the people with their ^ i fiduciary institutions, many cf the de-: * | positors voluntarily agreeing to leave ' | their money in banks for twelve j months to insure their solvency. 1 i "Such embarrassments as our ducks v {have experienced." he said, "have ; been mainly due to inability to realize : ' upon loans. While generally speak| inz. these loans, I believe, will be colI iVI ! ectable, many of them are necessarily! j slow. Given time, however, there is . c jno reason to be pessimistic of the out- J 0<iv nonnlo oro inVinwri11 v linn. ! ~ j 'vfiUC. v/til V/fViV W4W V?.V.J ..v.- cwm j est and they will meet changing conditions with new zeal and determinaItion, and reestablish the financial sta- i j tus of our state as comparatively first j in agricultural production.'' Continuing, Mr. Craig said: : ** i Hat we nave passed tnrou^n hh>m i j of the depressing conditions with our j ; banking institutions still practically i intact, gives us strength to begin the !struggle of the new year. We need; | not shut out eyes to the fact that the j present year will be fraught with sej rious difficulties, which will require, 'all the skill and energy of our best | financiers to meet and overcome. Crop | j diversification has at last been forced | upon our agriculturists which will rej quire the usual experimental periods | of growing: an.l marketing untried | 'crops, but in ih<? end we will produce j other paying crops than cotton and j we will also continue to produce cotjton. This has been anticipated, and j already steps are being taken to , bridge the necessary period of agricultural readjustment. The most potent factor to this end is the war fin-i l . - , ;ance corporation, which operating j through our banks is extending need-1 jed credits. In this connection, it (should be added that corresponding ibanks within and without our state have been most liberal in extending I needed credits. "In view of these facts, we look !confidently to the future, with succcss' es of the past as an earnest cf what .we can do by stint of unflinching de-1 .termination and a public spirit of co-, ! operation. j "It should .be added that banks are j j just as strong: as the confidence of i their patrons make them. Our problems are not merely problems of the | financiers, but are as well problems ; of the people. The man who with-J j holds his deposits from the banks is j working: to his own detriment, as well jas to the detriment of the state. Co^ifidence is the keynote of business, it |is the sub-structure of banking and i banking is the soul of business. Dc-; istrov confidence and you destroy j banking and hence destroy business. The miser who hides away his savings i in a niche in the wall, not only robs 'business, but actually robs hmself as he is withdrawing from business tint production which contributes to the prosperity of the whole."
