NEWS COMMENTS FROM WASHINGTON (By Special News Corresponaent) Washington, Dee. Feb. 27.-It is growing into a settled belief among those who watch and study the mysti fying moves of big politics that the President's recent utterances on the bonus constitute a reflection of his desire to defeat the proposition and to let the blame rest on the Farm Bloc, whicn he looks upon as being theevil genius of his adminictratioti. It is believed that he would like to place these men in a hole from which they might neve, be able to extricate themselves. , When he gave it out that he did not favor bonus legislation un less the money could be raised by a sales tax, he knew that the Farm Bloc is on record as strongly opposed to such a tax. Thus Harding "pass es the buck" to those gentlemen and at the same time throws a sop to his .Wall Street friendn who want a sples tax to eventually take the place of taxes and surtaxes on incomes. In the same breath he tells the soldier he would like to see him get a bonus -but throws an obstacle in the way. It is more than suspected that the President would like to see a lot of members of his own party fall outside the breastworks in the coming elec tion fight. There are so many Re publicans in the House and Senate that he can't handle them, and if any fall he would prefer that they be members of the Farm Bloc in both House and Senate. Of course it is well known that the Democrats are getting together a most militant or ganization for the purpose of causing an utter disappearance of this un wieldy condition. One of the big Re publicans told a newspaper man the other day that the leaders of his party were hopeful that the majority of 169 in the House could be reduced to 30 or 40 without starting an aval anche that would wipe out the major ity completely. They would like to have a Congress that could be con trolled by a few leaders, but it is a dangerous time to try the tactics thought of. As far as impartial ob servers can see at this time, the slaughter among Republicans of both House and Senate will be great, but that the Farm Bloc will suffer the least. The Democrats say the Re publicans are in for the worst trim ming they have had in 30 years. While addressing the League of Republican clubs in Washington last Saturday the President made a dam aging display of his Toryism. Only those who read widely and keep close observation are aware of the extent of Harding's reactionary tendencies. Some who read this Will recall that he was one of the few public men who condoned the action of a little group in the Baltimore convention of 1912 who withheld the nomination from Champ Clark after he had received a majority of votes and after he had showvn in the primaries that he was the choice of the voters.

"I began to eat and sleep, began to gain my strength and am now well and strong. I haven't had any trou ble-since ... I sure can testify to the good that Cardul did me. I dog't think there is a better tonio made and I believe It saved my life." For over 40 years, thousands of wo. men have used Cardul successfully, in the treatment of many womanly aments.

He was always a bitter anti-Roosevelt man and always op posed Teddy, who believed in the peo ple and the primary. He condone(l the action of the convention that no minated Taft when everyone knew the masses of the party wanted Roosevelt. Students of politics understand that an infallible test of a public man's attitude on the great principles of trovernment is found in the nominat ing method which he favors. Those who believe in progressive democracy condemnl the old convention system with all its manipulation, trickery ad fraud. President I-arding takes 1us stand with those who still believe in the bossim of a few leaders, who lictate policies an(d candidates. In the ad((ress mentioned the President ;aid: "I would rather trust the dec laration of a party, expressing the conscience of its membership in a representative convention, looking forward to a successful appeal to the 2onscience and convictions of the :ountry, than I would to the ephe nueral whims of passing moments in ublic life. I wish I dared-I WILL ;ay it- I CRAVE the return of in Lelligent conventions. I had rather Lave men appeal for popular support )t the pronouncements of party con entions, uttering their convictions, han to have the appeal of the indivi lual for his particular locality."

'President of the United States. But he has raised an issue that is full of dynamite. PeQ pie remember Taft's remarks about "the whims of the majority" and "the gusty passions of the mob." , Much water has gone over,the wheel since then- a great year has been fought and won by the people of this coun try, but there are those who remem ber that those expressions did a, vast deal in the work of putting Taft out of the White- House. Millions still believe that our government derives its just powers from. the consent of the governed,- and they don't propose to permanently delegate those powers to a few bosses in 'a hotel room some blocks from the convention hall. The President's remarks are part and parcel of the plan of the Repub lican bosses to destroy the prima'ry system, but the people are against them-and Harding's speech is a monkey wrench in the machinery, tossed there in a moment of exuber ance. THE BOLL WEEVIL Clemson College, Feb. 28.-More than twenty years ago some farmers in Texas imbued with the spirit of investigation, bored holes in blocks of ice and therein sealed the boll weevil for twenty-four hours, to find that after that period the pest was still alive and healthy. It reuired some explanation to show that this experiment had little or no signifi cance in its application to boll wee vil control, but as the moved eastward somebody who had not heard , of these experiments, and stumbling on' the same idea, would repeat it, calling again for further explanation, says Prof. A. F. Conradi, entomologist. This winter a number of our citizens made similar experi ments which brought up the discus sion in various quatters as to clima tic effect on the boll weevil. Some cane to the conclusion that the wee vil could not be killed by cold, while others became as firmly convinced thai climatic differences were of no importance in boll weevil control. While such conclusions still find fertile ground in newly infested territory like South Carolina, the ex perienced farmer unddr boll weevil conditions merely grins at them. He has learned in the hard school of ex perience the important effects of cli matic differences between one place and another, as wel las from season to season. He knows that the right kind of cold weather reduces the number of weevils; he knows that the difficulty in making the cotton Crop increases with excessive rain fall in the growing season and gener illy decreases with a reasonable a mount of hot and dry weather dur ing the growing season. The annual rainfall of South Caro lina is equal to that of Texas during ts worts weevil years and it is well 'or every farmer to mark this and remember it regardless of the var ouis personal opinlions expressed on ~he subject. The rainfall in Texas luring the important cotton-growing weason frequently is not more than the rainfall in some sections of the south Carolina cotton belt in a single nonuth, which makes the weevil con rol a problem of mutch greater diffi tulty in South Carolina than in areas >f less rainfall. South Carolina enrely lhas the drty hot wveather that ,btains in the far West, while on the >ther~ hand, the fertilizer consump ion is so much greater, adding very naterial ly to thte overheadl cost of naterially to the overhead cost of D)ANGER IN OVElUPRODUCTION Arthur Balfour, noted British ~talesmnan and Deputy Presidlent of he British Chambers of Commerce, n a recent discussion of England's -conomtic problems, madle a state ntent which might well be apJplied to he condition which our cotton far net's will face another season. Mr. 3alfour saidl. "Man may be hungry for food and lothes and yet be unable to. get ither. Hunger does not btuy. What mys is capiacity to pay. And this mungary world can ntot buy simply be -ause it is a begger." Tlhe world is hungry for cotton. ~rods, but can not buy because it ans utot the capacity to pay the price hat makes production profitable. f all the people in the world could >uly andl pay for till the clothes they teed to keep themselves warm, the mntire South with ('very acre plantedl n cotton couldl not meet the demand. lut the world is a beggar and must' Iress in beggars' rags. Only a cer ain few can purchase the required mount of clothing and ,food con ~idered necessary to maintain their trength and health. Therefore, when he statistician comes forward with a tatement showing in cold figures lepleted stocks of clothes and empty ~otton wvarehouses, just think of Car nonist- olberg's tnem, "They 'don't nMean a'nythiing"' ,Frm ,and .Ranch reiterates its be lief that more and btter otten ; pei acre, but a greatly reduced acreage will bring more money to .farmner than a large 'acreage , indifferently planted and cultivated. Cottoi should be made a real money eroj and the only way to accomplish tha desired end is to produce. a better staple on a smaller acreage, plant iile surplus acreage in other crops Pr6ducing as many commodities fo: home consumption as conditions wil permit should be the aim of ever) farmer, in the Southwest.-Farm an< Ranch Texas. WATCH OUR FOIR THE NFW, PLANT DISEASE Clemson College, Feb. 28,-Paeti cally all plants, and particularl; cultivated plants, are subject to on or more disease. In itp nativd homy a plant is sufficiently resistant to th< native diseases which attacid. it t( be able to survive them all, but at introduced disease is often very de. structive where native diseases an not important, say the plant pathol. ogists of the college. A recent well-known example is the chestnut canker, which was intro. duced from eastern Asia. As a re. sult of its ravages our native chestnut appear to be doomed. It is rapidly spreading, destroying the chestnuts as it goes and no practical method of control has been found. The white pine blistbr rust is an. other recent importation. It is now so firmly established that no hope of eradicating it is entertained. It is destructive . to white pine treci wherever currant or gooseberry bushes exist to harbor the fungus. Citrus canker is a third important impbrted disease. Where it is native -eastern Asia-it is comparatively unimportant. In Florida and Alaba ma, however, it threatened for a time to destroy the entire citrus in dustry. It was only by the most vigorous and thorugh eradication measures that it was conquered, and even yet a future outbreak would not be at all surprising. Other important . plant diseases which have recently been introduced into the United States are blue mold of tobacco, which was destructive in parts of Florida last year; peanut rust, a serious disease now present in Florida; potato wart, present in Pennsylvania and one or two neigh boring states; take-all, flag smut, and downy mildew of wheat; and sugar cane mosaic, which is becom ing serious along the Gulf Coast None of these diseases is known to be present in South Carolina as yet, but they may occur at any time. . Any strange disease on these or any other plants should be reported pIomptly, with specimens, to the county agent or the Botany Division Clemson College. Promptness is ; es sential. A short delay may be enough to enable a new disease to get such a foothold that it can not be dis lodged. CITATION -NOTICE The State of South Car-olina, County of Clarendon. By J1. M.
