THE MANNING TIMES . APPELT----- ....----------------------------- -----Editor 1P. M. SHOPE----------------------------------Business Manager MANNING, S. C., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 6, 1919. THE IMPENDING STORM Profiteering may yet be the undoing of this country. No nation ever is greater than the government it main tains, and if the government does not conserve the inter ,'eats of the people the people in time lose confidence in that form of government. The greatest crime in the history of our country is that of profiteering, wholesale and delioerate robbery of a helpless public. Prices have been artificially forced to such a high al titude that it is becomingly more and more difficult for a poor person to even sustain life. The law of supply and demand no longer prevails. It his been substituted by one of gouge and grab. Already many people, men and women of sound and patriotic principles, are predicting revolution as the only means of checking this wholesale and lawless thievery. Our government should take warning while there is yet time. Protection of profiteering should cease at once, and prosecution should be swift and relentless. We can not afford to have our great country wrecked upon the rock of greed and avarice. And yet today, be tause of the supine inactivity of our public officials, we :are heading straight toward destruction. Public endurance is at the breaking point. Revolu tion is hovering dangerously near. 10 miles South Manning Fo r Sal j and 2 miles from Jordan. About 60 acres cleared.

A. F. Conradi, Entomologist, Clemson College: Keep a close watch on the cotton I when dry weather i sets in, says Prof. A. F, Conradi, Entomologist, so that you will notice the first signs of red spider. Carefully burn all plants showing the signs; or hang ovbr the shoulder a cotton picker's sack which has been soaked in kerosene and wrung out,. put in fested leaves and plants in this, and burn sack and all. Repeat every ten days until the attack is over. But if large spots have become in fested,- use one of the red spider sprays,-potassium su:phide, lime sulphur, nicotine sulphate, or flour paste. (a) Potassium sulfide is used at the rate of three pounds to one hundred gallons of water. (b) Lime sulphur solution (unless made at home as for orchards) is not so easily gotten in the rocal markets. It costs about 22 cents per gallon delivered and is used at the rate of one gallon to one hundred gallons of water. (This is the same solu tion as for scale in orchard in win ter). (c) Nicotine sulphate (tobac co extract) at the rate .of one coffee cupful to a fifty gallon of water and to which has been added the suds of three pounds of common soap by dissolving the soap in hot water. This soap -should not contain coal tar or naphtha. (d) Boil together one pound of flour and one gallon of water and to this add nine gallons of water. The red spider are found on 273 dif ferent plants which are their natural hosts and it is from these natural hosts growing around the edge of cot ton fields that infestation takes place. Among some of the common host plants of the red spider found in Clar endon County are the- Jerusalem Oak and Poke Weed, which are found in 'voods adjoining cotton fields as well as along ditches, roads and fence cor tiers. Other hosts are the violet holly hock, dahlia and garden beans which are often planted about the home grounds and gardens. The destruc tion of these host plants will accom plish more to control the red spider and cost less in time and labor than anything else you can do. Don't wait till your fields are in fested with the pests to destroy poke weeds, etc., but get at it right away. If anyone wishes any nelp or fur ther instruction in regard to the con trol of the red spider, communicate with me and I will be glad to assist you. A. M. Musser, County Agent.
