GREAT REMOVAL SALE The Herald and Xews has decided to put on the greatest removal sale known in the history of removal sales in this town. We have not spice to run the ad in this issue. All of those who owed the paper could not take advantage of the dollar sale we had on in August. We knew it was a bad time and those who really needed to take advantage of that did not feel that they could even put out tno dollar at that time. The fall is now here, and while we are not going to put on the dollar sale, we will at least give every one an opportunity to get a very useful article in connection wkh a subscription to The Herald and News. We have arranged with Mayes Book store so that we will give with every payment of two dollars, or one year's subscription, either an aluminum water pitcher or an aluminum thermos bottle, or we will give you two small aluminum molasses pitchers, so that you may serve two kinds of molasses at the same time, or you can use one for milk. V . .4 These articles may oe seen a; Mayes B">ok store right now, and the sale will last for only two weeks, or rather will clcsc on Saturday. Nov? ember 4. We have not been able to get our mailing list corrected up to date, but we hope to be straightened out in our new home very soon. And then we will keep it corrected to date. All you have to do is to come to the o^ce and pay two dollars for one year's subscription and you will get an order to Mayes Book store and walk across the street and take your choice of the articles here mentioned. We have already mentioned she mrfv We have already arranged with Mr. Mayes. He now has some of the ar*. tides on hand and will supply whatever number we may order. All three are useful articles. And every housewife would appreciate one or. the other. The thermos bottle should appeal especially to school children. Oniv one subscription on this plan taken from each subscriber, and applies to new and old' subscribers, and regardless of the date to which you have paid. 1 Come right along now and lase advantage of tpis gr^at removal sale, and we are going to be in position now to publish the best newspaper; we have ever printed, and that is cro-1 ing some. j This is a rare opprtunity to place' in every home in Newberry county a useful and beautiful pi?ce of aluminum. Don't wait -but come right now. The offer is open to every one anywhere, and besides get a real newspaper for a whole year. i-lv - Hnffwrnr T or! or or* f Vl p n PWS X lie Vi.iiav * UV. UGV4 papers should not p*bli?h so much scandal. Well, old sport, we think you are entirely correct,?md we nave* tried not to publish very much, and we have also made the rule not to publish so much crime of any kind, except where it was really news in the immediate locality, and yet we must plead guilty in many instances <if publishing things that we should not have * published, and after they' have been writ in the files have wish- 1 l ed that we could take them out.'1 There is a great responsibility resting cn the newspapers, but they are ; like the rest of the people who have something to sell, they feel often that they should sell that which the pub lie wants to buy, and somehow the public likes scandal and likes 10 read about crime. May be the newspapers! should educate a different taste in ; the people, but it would cost some-! thing to do it and the payroll must be met. wn.1 We have no: finished moving yet,' but we are getting there and will be fixed up in our new home very scon,1 and when you come we hope we will give that feeling in you that we fixed up because ycu were cflming. Come to see us. In the corner room of the National hotel next door to the court house lawn. It will take some time to get straightened out. cut the mailing list is there and so is the receipt book and the voung: lady to write the receipts. They tell us we should take off the name when the time is out, that is those who know how to run a newspaper, but sometimes we let it go over and then vhen we haw to take the name off we lose what is past due. And yet there are many who come along and pay ::?vi thank us for not taking the na-^o of \vh?"i the time was on did not exactly suit them to pay at the time and they would have missed receiving the paper. There is some compensation 'in that, and while we know *'ou can j not run a newspaper if tin* subsoribrr tlo > not pay, and we v. ;H n*?L csrj ry the subscriber inaetinin'iy. \ may be those who do pay will i-y*.::pensate for those who neve.* wil'. i? not in dollars in the satisfaction th-t you have been kind to someone. But the time is about here when we will ; be forced to revise* our !:sl and take ; oil delinquents a/:a take the loss. There are not a great many ?nd very few fur so lonir a time as a year. Sj come along now and pay sjmethln'* and let us go alon? together and cooperate in these times of stress. It is very important that we do. Mr. Mills, the county demonstration agent, in his column today adv'sos the plowing under the cotton stalks just s s.oon as possible in order 10 destroy the boll weevil. We have heard that uiso. In recommending it to some awhile ago, a farmer remarked that this process only gave the weevil a good warm bed for winter, and that those thst were in the haif grown bolls and boils that had been punctured would just hiberbernate in their hiding place and come out in the spring strong and ready for the new crop. We are not savins: this in a spirit of criticism. but to help, and as every one seems to be more or less at a loss what to do, it might cause some one to think. As we recall this gentleman talked like he had seen the result he mentioned. They tell a lot of tales 'about the endurance of the weevil. Some one says that you can neither freeze the insect out nor can you burn his bill even in the hottest fire. They say the bill will get red, as if you would heat a piece of steel, and when cooled of? the bill Vould be intact. We do not know about this, but we do believe that the cotton grower will sooner or later conquer the pest, and that when that is done he will look upon it as a great blessing that thp w^pvil rame. Even now some farmers are making fine cotton crops while the firmer just across the highway has no cotton worth while. The thing to do we believe is not to plant so larg^an acreage and to work it fast, and to fertilize it high, and use a little of the poison dust, and pick up what of the shapes that fall off, and burn them, that you will make a crop of cotton. We need to plant less acreage, and we needed to do that thing before the advent of the weevil. And then work it -on the intensive plan, plow it at least once a week and twice if you can, and keep it growing, and it will mature before the weevil has a chance at it, andjthen be sure to plant 3 sufficient crop of the things you need to feed and to cat and you will succeed. SCOUT NEWS Friday night Troop 1 held its regular meeting at headquarters in. the American Legion hall. The troop was assembled and our flag ceremony held, after which the business was attended to. The roll was called and the dues collected, the scribe and treasurer making their reports. At the conclusion of the routine business Dr. Babb, who was an honor guest at this meeting:, made us a splendid talk, basing his remarks upon the first and second scout laws: "A scout is trustworthy," and "A scout is loyal." His remarks were most fortunate, and were thoroughly enjoyed by all. After this talk, we discussed the pro- j grams for our future meetings. Mr.' Martin, who was our other honor guest, offered us his assistance in the making of a museum, 0 in that he would assist us by identifying specimens of our native trees. We are very g'ad to have the assistance of I an authority like Mr. Martin, and we shall be happy to go on a nature hike under his guidance. After making some few arrangements, we played some games, having big fun. At the end of the games the troop was assembled, and scout retreat held. j I Monday night the conclave of Troop 1 met at the home of Dood Epting. assistant scoutmaster. The business part of the program was opened with prsyer. after which the conclave passed upon some of the first class map?, finding which would pass and which would not. At this meeting we discussed the preparation of the regular meeting program, and decided that the programs be in the hands of the patrols, alternating'each meeting. We also discussed the advisability of attempting a parents' night, * * ' ^ . ?:n a 4. and ociieve ina^ w.*t win. .-vt mc conclusion of the business part of the program a salad course with sandwiches and tea was served. Those enjoying: the evening were: Asst. Scoutmaster Legare Tarrant, Senior Patrol Leader William Eddy. Patrol Leaders White Bullock, Arnold Green Otis Wnitaker. Scribe Roy Anderson. Treasurer Cyril Hutchinson. Quartermaster Ansel Clarkson. - ? ?? Sometimes it seems that nothing in this world can be half as helpless as a majority. J II FARMERS BY T. r>] FIGHT THE BOLL WEEVIL Xi)\v i? t.ie time 10 send out the ihst great barrage in the b:;ttie against tile boll weevil. .Many lipids are now bare of cotton ar.d just as soon as we have suilicient rain so that t tr.e land can be plowed al: sf.iks Should be turned under. If you cannot turn them under it will do much good to rip them up with a middle; buster ?o that here will be no second ;growth cotton for the weevil to feed, on. The life of the weevil is net so { very long and if we can send him into winter quarters a little earlier; ar.d send him in hungry the greater! * 'i i 1. .c __? portion 01 tnem wiii u.e uci j:e , ton grows again. J If practical, plan a rotation. It is not best that cotton should follow cotton. But if you have only a small acreage on the farm that is suited to cotton and you l.nd it necessary to p^ant it year after year, by Ml mean.; rip up the stalks as soon as you can j t:r.fi put in a cover crop of rye and j votch or rye and clover. About r>0 j pounds of abruzzi rye and 20 pounds' of either crimson clover or hairy j vetch should give you a good winter! cover crop. This green crop growing; during the winter will benefit you in; several ways. ! First. It will help you in your' fight against the boll weevil. It has' been found that the weevil .must' t evaporate much of its moisture in or- j der to keep from freezing during the winter and in order that he may be; able to do this he must have a good j dry winter hotel. He finds this hotel i 1 ?1 3 J I in nay stacKis neuges. uiu etc. If you have a green crop growing in your cotton patch such as rye and clover, the weevil can not winter j ithere. It is too moist for his health.? 1 Second. Cover crops will largely J prevent leaching. Experiments indicate that no less than 50 pounds per acre of valuable nitrogen may be saved from leaching out in the drainage water during one winter by means of a green winter cover crop such as rye and vetch or rye and clover. This means a saving of nitrogen of an equivalent of 300 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre. Nitrogen is the most expensive part of the fertilizer we buv. costing annuallv SI5. 000.000.00 in South Carolina and it is estimated from leaching v experiments, that approximately one half of this is lost in the drainage water. ; Third. If the winter cover crop is a legume like vetch or clover or contains a mixture of about 20 pounds .of these seed, it will not only present large amounts of nitrogen from Reaching out but will .add many j pounds taken from the air free of j charge. Often S20.00 worth of ni- j trogen per acre will have been added j and saved during the winter months. j Sqils treated in the above manner' will soon cease to need applications! of nitrate of soda in order to pro-1 duce satisfactory crops. , Fourth. The winter cover crop! will add humus. Most South Carolina ; soils are very low in organic mat-; ter without which it is impossible to i have a productive soil. Large crops of rye and vetch Uurned under will supply much vegetable matter. This, when rotten, is called humus. I We are^ told that a pound of hu*! mus holds 7 and one half times as. mu,ch moisture as a pound of sandy' loam and will hold it 3 and one-half 1 1 times as long. Hence a large supply j of humus in the soil helps to control 1 moisture. This explains why land that is well filled with vegetable mat- | fpr will wit.Vistnnrl HrrmfVi nv n wpt spell much better than a thin soil de-, plefced of its vegetable matter. \ Ninety per cent of the nitrogen in the soil, 30 per cent of the phosphoric acid, 12 per cent of the potash and : large amounts of other minerals are: held by the humus (rotten trash) in (a quickly available form for feeding^ a crop. I A well drained soil with a large j supply of humus and sweeiened with; lime is always known as a rich, pro-. .duutive soil on which crops can be! produced economically. Economical: crop production is impossible on de-! nlft.od soils low in humus and as: | most of our fields are in this condi-! ition, soil building is the first and; I greatest problem that confronts the i farmers in Newberry county today, j i The rains have already fallen. Get: busy immediately and put in rye, oats, vetch, crimson clover or some: other good winter growing crop. Next spring leave some for hay and turn under the remainder for a green manure crop. The results will surprise you very agreeably. Oat Smut The farmers sustain serious losses (every year from smut or blast as it [is sometimes called, in oats. This , lo>s often ranges from n to 13 per cent of the entire crop on certain j farms. The disease rs caused by a I iTarjn" taowMut ?rra?w ? vivwr* COLUMN .

Otherwise you can sow ?.r>f Annfhuti motVinrf is to UICIIl Ct. 1 place the oats on a tight floor in a j bam and sprinkle the solution over them, keeping them thoroughly stirred till every grain has been wet with. the solution. Then cover with sacks or cloths for about 2-1 hours. The " grain then can be dried for sowing if necessary. The above treatment' will prevent smut and will pay you a handsome dividend on your investment. Try it.
