sas, Republicans, and Serators McKellar,
of Tennessee; Sheppard, of
Texas, and Kirby, of Arkansas, Democrats.
Senators Wadsworth of New
York; Warren of Wyoming; Sutherland
of West Virginia; New of Indiana;

ator McKellar announced that he
would submit a minority report in
which a number of the Senators who
opposed the plan are expected to concur.
As finally agreed upon the bill is
virtually the same as reported by the
subcommittee, but is radically different
from the reorganization bill
submitted by the War Department to
Congress. In addition to establishing
a compulsory military training the
compulsory military training the
ed into a citizen army, composed of
men who have received the compul
sory training, a sianuaiu hhu;, tu?isisting
of 280,000 enlisted men and
18,000 officers and a nationwide
guard.
Specific provision is made in the
bill that the citizens army cannot be
called to the colors except in case of
a declaration of war. To accommadate
the reserve force built up under
the system of military training provision
is made in the bill for an anotton

nual reduction of 5 per cent in the c
enlisted strength of the regular army't
and 2 per cent in the number of en- d
listed officers far the first five years, e
This will mean, Chairman Wadsworth t
explained, that at the end of five
years the regular army will be re- ii
duced by 70,000 men and 1,800 com- a
missioned officers which will greatly i
decrease the cost of maintaining the n
military establishment. t
The bill also would ulaco all youths t
who have undergone the four months I
military training on the reserve list f
to be subject 10 two weeks' training J
annually. Under an amendment by ! C
Senator Spencer dependents of such t
youths during training would receive a
an allowance the same as now pro- a
vided under the War Insurance Act. v
Establishment of the office of under t
secretary of war, who would be s
charged with the solution of the great s
industrial and business problems involved
in the procurement of military v
supplies, is provided by the commit- s
tee under Secretary Baker's recoin- e
mendations eliminating provisions, j
which would work to make Gen. Per- t
shing chief of staff instead of Gen. c
March, the present chief of staff.

ANTI-BOLL WEEVIL CONFERENCE
HELD IN COLUMBIA, g
A very important conference to dis- (
cuss ways and means of meeting the s
"Boll Weetil'' menace was held in c
the State House on Wednesday, Jan- (
uary 21st. ]
The meeting was called by Gov- f
ernor Cooper and attended by a great (
many legislators from all over the
state. Senator Alan Johnstone voiced j{
his apprval of the object of the !j
meeting, and pledged his support to j
any wt il planned method of procedure,'
adoptea Senator Neils Christensen of N
Beaufort. where cotton growing has',
been practically put out of business,
also pledged his hearty cooperation.
W. A. Preacher, a member of the .
House from Jasper county, outlined 1
the ravages made by the boll weevil
in that county during the last year. 1
He stated that should the same dam- (
age be don& next year the people of
his county would be destitute, and
that they would have to call on the
Red Cross for assistance. Mr. W. W.
Long of the Extension Department of
Clemson College made an interesting
and powerful address. One of the
points touched on by Mr. Long was
the amount of damage which might
be expectd in this state during the
coming cotton season. From the representations
of cotton and boll weevil
experts, it was confidentially stated,
that the pest damage will damage the
state to the extent of twenty million
($20,000,000) dollars, more or less
dependent upon climate conditions favorable
to the boll weevil, and that
so far, this year, these conditions
were ideal for him.
Mr. Long also called attention to
the statement of W. D. Hunter, head
f the Crop Pest Division of the
United States Department of Agriculture,
in which he stated that the boll
weevil would cover the entire state
of South Carolina, and that should

limatic conditions be favorable to

Greenville, Anderson, etc.
It was determined to ask the Legslature
for a state-wide weevil fund
nd a committee was appointed to ap>ear
before a joint meeting of the Filance
Committee of the Senate and
he Ways and Means Committee of
he House, on January 29th. Mr. C.
t. Sprott, who presided at this conorence,
and who is Chairman of the
tnti-Boll Weevil Association of South
Carolina, called upon the farmers,
ankers, Chambers of Commerce and
11 persons interested to rally to the
ssistance of the association by seeing
exiting and wiring the members of
heir delegation, calling upon them to
upport the movement for the proviion
of this fund.
Mr. Long, who has fought the boll
veevil from Texas to South Carolina,
tates that this is the first organized
ffort whereby all interests have
oined together in a combined effort
o lessen the devastation and calamity
