Tobacco See Garden I Po The Manning G The Seed P :::mu:::::mmusu:muu :::mm WEEKLY NEWS LETTER FROM WASHINGTON (By Special Correspondent) Washington, D. C., Feb. 13.-One of the ablest of the younger and newer members of the House i$ W. Turner Logan of South Carolina, represent ing the Charleston District. Mr. Lo gan is one of those conscientious members always found in their seats when the House is in sesison. He is serving on four of the House Com mittees, which is rather an unusual number, yet he has found time recent ly to start through the House a piece of legislation which is of considerable importance, but which comes into Congress by way of still another Com mittee, that on Interstate and For -eign Commerce. This is in process of ,development at this time. The President is having Congress create thirteen more United States District Judgeships-another load for the backs of the overburdened taxpay -crs. Incidentally it gives him an op portunity to take thirteen members of the Agricultural Bloc ' from the Senate and place them where he put Kenyon. Away back there when the world was young, the Emperor Tam erlane found that a petty sultan nam ed Bajazet was in his way at times, so he threw the sultan into a cage and hauled him around the, country for exhibition purposes. The President will soon have thirteen cages ready for the Senators who have annoyed him by standing up for the interests of the farmers. ' Curiously enough, there are just thirteen of these Senators still remaining in the Agri cultural Bloc who can be depended upon to stand by the people on cost occasions--except when there is a soft life-time job to be had. Abe Martin,says that his friend Ike Lark has 'bought a new pair of shoes with some money he had left over from the Wilson administration. Perhaps few of the farmers in the country realize that the twenty mil lion dollars which the Republican Congress so generously voted for the aid of a comparatively small section of Russia came out of the pockets of the wheat growers, many of whom are in real need of aidl themselves. In other words, it was ap~propriated from the funds of the United States Grain Corporation and not from the United States Treasury, and the funds of the Grain Corporation represent profits made off wheat growers. Thcse pro fits amount to more than thirty mil lion dollars. Another phase of the matter is the fact that Congress set a precedlent in this case, for charity of this kind in the past has been by private subscription. In 1845 the country was so moved by the distress of Ireland, where the potato crop had failed undler the burden of furnish ing the principal support for the ei '.t millions of people in the island at that time, that millions were rais ed by private subscription, but even then the Congress was not asked to make an appropriation. In the case of Russia there wvas plenty of food in the country, but Communism does not run true to its name, and the parts of Russia where food wvas abundant would not furnish it to the famine re gion without a price, and the price could not be raised by the sufferers. It must give the wheat farmer, who "rt wasn't ju~st wanated flesih, then d lets, gor..;ed Iorts, been t digecstion fat theseo things clls I necedeo b lood-coll b1 cleanser kno and myn netvi 8. . 8. han 8.

The Bible says that he who does not look after his own household first is worse than a heathen. The American Red Cross has an nounced that it has just spent $100, 000 to relieve some of the most ur gent cases of actual distress among the people of certain parts of Mon tana and North Dakota. Congress took two hundred times that amount of money from the grain growers for the Russian relief. The Farmers' Council in this city has received a let ter from Y. C. Mansfield of Sunny side, Washington, telling of conditions in several of the Northwestern States. He writes: "Many farmers are compelled to go to the bankers and beg for money to buy a sack of flour. Their crops were all mortgaged and taken from them. There are a great many who were unable last fall to seed their summer-fallowed ground, and there is no hope of their being able to do so in the spring." The most of the metropolitan news papers do not print these stories, for they are members of the cabal of pub lishers who have agreed to print only news indicating that the administra tion is a success, and to throw on the floor all of the news depicting the tremendous amount of distress in the land. The Republican National headquar ters in Washington is already begin ning to play the baby. Their latest creed sent out from here begii i with these words: "It is the manifest in tention of leaders of the Democratic party not to be fair in the coming NOTICE OF SALE The State of South Carolina, County of Clarendon.

Then they proceed to re fer to the minority report on the tariff bill away back last spring-al most a year ago. When one thinks of all the sharp attacks that Democrats have made in the last few months, it is a remarkable testimonial to their fairness that the high-salaried publi city sharks of the Republican head quarters have to go back to last spring to find anything which is even claimed to be an unfair utterance of the part of the Democrats. And speaking of fairness, one is reminded of the millions of dollars spent in the last campaign to circulate thousands of tons of matter that had no basis of fact. MOLASSES POISON BOLL WEEVIL ENEMY Manning, S. C., Feb. 13, 1922. Editor Manning Times, Manning, S. C. Dear Sir: Knowing that my friend, Mr. M. S. Hlaynesworth of Florence, a large and successful farmer, had made a trip down in Georgia to look into methods oAghting the boll weevil, I wrote to l jlor the information obtained by him in this trip, for my own guidance this year. While I do not expect to allow my tenants to -plan more than six acres of cotton to the plow, and I am urg ing all of the customers of our bank to dversify by all means, I think the infoimation contained in Mr. Haynes wdrth's letter is of so much impor tance to our farmers that I thought it would be of great benefit to our people for you to publish these let ters in this week's issue of your paper. Yours very truly, W. C. Davis, President, First National Bank. Florence, S. C., Feb. 11, 1922. Mr. W. C. Davis, Manning, S. C. Dear Sir: Having heard about Mr. I. 0. Hill's success wvith the molasses treatment for boil weevil, I wvent to his place at Gough, Georgia. I will give you wvhat I learned from him. Mr. Hill is an intelligent merchant, farmer, owvning some six thousand acres in one body and has always de pendedl on his cotton crop for main sup~port, planting everything in cot ton. When the holl weevil struck himi four years ago he made a great niany experiments, trying to find some way to make poison stick to plants, and finally tried molasses. TIo his surprise he found that the weevil was attract ed to the molasses just as flies and bees. F~or this reason he claims to have found this a sure remedly. He mixes in following proportions: 1 gallon Bllack Strap Cuban Molas ses. 2 pounds Calcium Arsenate. 2 quarts Warm Water. Mix thoroughly the arsenate andl water, then adld the molasses. Tfhis mixture to be carried in a buckect and with a mop on short stick applied over toip of cotton. Commence using pois on as soon as thie first forms are half growna and continue Ceery ten (lays until the last of .July. Last year lie applied it five times, which put him to July 19th. At that time he had so effectively wviped them out that he had no further needl for more. Trhirty-three gallons molasses and sixty pounds poison is enough for. ten acres five times, costing less than $3.00 per acre for the season. I saw a thirty acre patch that he had used the poison on andl at that time, last of August, he had already p)icked twenty UUW Ue Uww W-WUw U U U W U= eU = U no tax now LUDEN'S menthol cough drops pricep Sstraght GIVE QUICK RELIEF? Pomgasn Yellow Pckage 5314sgu s,voru otv nine bales and had practically finished picking. I met other men in the same neighborhood and invariably they answered that when they used molass es treatment they made a good crop, and when not used, only about one fifth of a crop. Mr. Hill has tried the Government methods, but could get no results. I enjoyed my stay with him hugely, as he gave me practically one day of his time. I find that he knows more about the boll weevil and its habits than any man I have ever met, not except ing the Government experts. I am making arrangements to get stuff to go over the whole of my cotton crop and I feel that I am on the right road with but one draw-back and that is the rain, a long rainy spell would let weevils in as long as it lasted, but that will have to be borne with. Mr. Hill was planting an early short cotton, the name of which I have forgotten, but it is like the King. Around here we are going to plan Coker's 49-3 and Delta 49. Guano about 8-3-3 or 8-4-4 with some meal, fish scrap and blood with about 200 pounds soda to the ton is a good mixture to put down before planting. Hoping this will be of use to you, I am, Yours very truly, (Signed) M. S. Haynesworth. NEWS FROM CLEMSON COLLEGE E. I). Plowden, Correspondent. Clemson College, S. C., Feb. 14.

The back aches at times with a dull, indescribable feeling, making you weary and restless; piercing pains shoot across the region of the kid neys, and again the loins are so lame that to stoop is agony. No use to rob or apply a plaster to the back if the kidneys are weak. You cannot reach the cause. Manning residents would 'do well to profit by the follow ing example. Ask your neighbor! W. B. Costin, Prop., grocery, 113 E. Calhoun St., Sumter, S. C., says; "A good many years ago I was troubled with my kidneys and I had all the symptoms of that complaint. I cer tainly was in bad shape. All the family had used Doan's Kidney Pills and had great faith in them so I got Doan's and used them. I never spent my money better, I was entirely zured. I gained in weight and felt better in every way, so it is a great pleasure to recommend such a fine remedy." Price GOc, at all dealers.
