C., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8,1921 SUMTER DISTRICT MISSIONARY CONKtRERCE Special to The Manning Times: T ieifumter District Missionary Conference met at Elliott, June 3rd and 4th. The meeting. was quite a success from several standpoints there was a fair representative of the majority of the societies of the dis trict and each gave a favorable and encouraging report of the work of the different societies. Of the thirty adult societies of the district twenty of them were represented at the district meet ing. fere was also a good delega tion from the Young People and the Junior Societies. We were indeed fortunate to have m of the officers present-Mrs. W L. aze of Orangeburg, Superin tendent of Study and Publicity Mrs. G. E. Edwards, Orangeburg, Superin tendant of Young People; and Mrs. R. #L. Kirkwood, Bennettsville, Corres ponding Secretary. Another thing which added pleasure and inspiration of the meeting was the presence of Miss Leila Epps of Brazil, who at pre sent is on a short vacation at her e home in Kingstree. Miss Epps is a woman of striking personality and character and a very entertaining talker. Her talks about our work in Brazil made us feel a keener interest 0 in sending out missionaries, and it was- quite a joy to the members of the meeting to learn that Miss Mary Winn of College Place intends to attend Scarritt Bible Training School this fall and in time become a missionary to Brazil. Also that Misses Rosalie and Anna Brown of Sumter are now students at Scarritt's. The people of Elliott gave us a very warm and hearty welcome and did everything possible to make our stay pleasant. It was a pleasure to be as sociated with such kind and hospitable people. 44 The meeting was presided over by Miss Jessie Curtis of Paxville secre tary of Sumter District.

Gray is very enthusiastic over the boll weevil meet ings which are to be held in Manning and Summerton on Monday, June 13. Mr. Gray feels that he is very for tunate in being able to bring the moving picture "Beating the Boll Weevil'. to this county and hopes that every person interested in the boll weevil will be present. And he is also glad to say that he was able to bring these speakers here: J. 0. Taylor, an experienced cotton plant er now with the Delta Laboratory, Tallulah, La.; Prof. A. F. Conradi, State Entomologist, George Ander son, Extension Entomologist of Clem son College. Clemson College extension service, the United States Department of Ag riculture and County Agent Gray are co-operating in putting on these meet ings. No farmer can really afford to miss attending one of these meetings. In dications show that over-flowing houses may be expected at both places. The meeting to be held at Mann ing will be at the Pastime Theatre, nromptly at 4.30 and the one to be held at Suinmerton will be at the au ditorium of the High School promptly at 8:30. The same program will be carried out at both places. Mr. Gray would like to have shown this picture at other points in the county but it was impossible for him to obtain this picture and the services of these men for more than one (lay. This picture will be shown free of charge so it will be possible for every farmer to be present. M. E.

Dear Sir: The insects accompanying your let ter of June 1st are the genuine Mexi can cotton boll weevil. This species has now spread over practically the entire State of South Carolina and into the southern coun ties of North Carolina. You must look forward to severe damage fron this pest in the future. There is no likelihood that it will be extetninated or that it will pass on; it will probably there as long as cotton continues to be grown. In accordance with your request I am writing Mr. Frank P. Burgess Manning, S. C. as follows: "Insects sent are genuine Mexican 'cotton boll weevils. . Letter follows: Under separate cover I am sending you Copies of two or three bulletin on, the boll weevil that I thought might be of interest to you. I have been connected with boll weevil work since 1902 where I started studying the life history of this insect in TexaF and can appreciate your situation aum the insect spreads through that see. tion of the country. Sincerely yours, W. E. Iinds, Entomologist.

THE BOLL M I[ SITUATION IN CLARENDON COUNTY1 Clarendon County is now passing through her tirst real boll weevil scare, and the boll weevil problem is one of the chief topics of conversation wherever men gather. This is the us ual state under similar conditions. Cotton growers and business men from the Rio Grande to Manning have experienced this 'same feeling. The boll weevil always strikes at an in opportune time. No country has ever been ready for him when he makes his appearance, but it is up to us to mako the best of the situation and not to become demoralized. This will only make bad matters worse. In some re spects we are unusually well prepared for the boll weevil this year. There is probably a smaller acreage of cot ton and a larger acreage of food and feed crops planted in the county than gver before in her history. This is, of ourse, all in our favor. On the other hand, the business affairs of our peo ple are not in the best of conditions to face this situation. But as already mentioned, I think it is up to business man and farmer to co-operate whole heartedly and with a thorough under standing in order that we may work out of this into a better and safer ag riculture than we've had before. Do not act rashly ,or without ma ture thought. No one can tell at the present how much damage the weevil will effect in 1921. This depends up on the weather and upon the individual farmer. We knew at planting time that the boll weevil was present and the fact that we have found them in our fields is only further proof of what we were already expecting. The man having from fifteen to twenty acres of cotton to the plow is the fellow that the boll weevil will probably hurt most. As it will be impossible for him, even with good weather to cultivate rapidly enough to keel) the weevil under control. Nor will he be able to keel) the squares picked up before the weevils come out of them. But the man having from five to eight acres to the plow may, with favorable weather, make a fair yield of cotton. The best policy to follow, as I see it, is for the farmer to look closely to his crops other than cotton. Be sure to make plenty of corn. Grow out plenty of meat and if practical have a few hogs to sell. I will be glad to help you market them. Produce plenty of sweet potatoes and if pos sible put them into a curing house. Don't neglect the garden and the family cow. These will go along way toward feeding the family. Then by all means get your stubble land seed ed to some leguminous crop. Seed aire very hard to find and the price is high, but 110 one can afford to let this stubble lie idle. Last but not least, begin now to planm0ing your system of farming foir 1922 and get things in shape to fol l low this new scheme of farming. For it is going to be necessary f"r th system of farming to undergo a rath er decided cha nge inl this ('oullty, as in other boll weevil counties, if we are to (o profitable faiming. t.

Conference hell at Gable at the :hurch and (juite a large number of babies were exanined. The greatest fault found with these babies were their tonsils and a(lenoids. Dr. Woods, who was examining the babieS said that the sooner the ton sils and adenoids were removed the ,ooner the children would be stronger. The babies' ages ranged from two months UP to seven years. And gen igrally speaking, these babies were a tile lot. The Nurse, Miss Ruth Moore had placed Posters, charts and pictures around on the walls of the church. These charts were especially helpful to the mothers, for they showed just which things were the most needful to the building of a child's body. They also showed just how much they should have. Placed on tables were the right kinds of toys for small chil dren to play with, these being the washable kind. On another table were placed "baby killers," these be ing 'oca-colas, tea, eotre., stale candy, bananas, and most of all flies. For these flies carry all kinds of germs around and if allowed in the house and around the baby, the germ, which it carries gets into the food and not. only makes the children sick but. the grown people as well. The baby coop an exhibition was made by Mr. Jeff McFaddin for his baby. It showed how well the baby could be kept away from flies with so little expense. The play pen on ex hibition was made by two small boys of Gable. After the children were examined the mother wias given a copy of their report, a booklet on the care of chil dren and a fly swatter and were told by the nurse how to dress the baby. She (the nurse) said in hot weather the baby should wear a slip and nap kin. She gave each mother personal :dvice and more than one mother went home benefitted in more than one way by having brought their children to this conference. o -, DlEEP CREEK AND FORESTON GAMES Friday, June 3, the Foreston.
