RUSHBROOKE oapxisi commissioner For Europe Collections in cash totaling $25,103.424.64 have been made for general causes fostered by the Baptist 75 Million Campaign since the campaign was launched in 1919, according to a report to the Southern Baptist Convention, which has just adjourned its Chattanooga session, by Dr. L. R. Scarborough, general director of the campaign, and chairman of the Conservation Commission. The fact that $12,924,943.60 of this amount was collected during the past year, under the most depressing conditions known in years, is very encouraging to the denominational leadors. they say. Will Seek the Unsaved. Feeling the need of conserving the spiritual interests of the people as well as the financial aspects of the campaign, the convention asked the Conservation Commission to seek to enlist, through the state and associational organizations, all the 27,000 local Baptist churches in the South in a i larger evangelistic effort during the next twelve months, the aim being to induce as many individual members of th>? churches as possible to win at least cue soul to Christ during the new year. Reports to the convention showed that there were 173,595 persons received into the local Baptist churches by baptism during the past year, and a much larger number will be sought during the year ahead. wouia tvangehze Europe. One of the interesting actions of the convention was the decision to hack I up fully the Foreign Mission Roard in j its program for the evangelization of the new European territory of Spain, Jugo-Slavia, Hungary, Roumanta. the Ukraine and Southern Russia. Dr. J. H. Ruslibrooke, of London, Raptist Commissioner for Europe, addressed the convention, telling how he had dis tributed the relief funds contributed by Haptists for the needy families of those countries and how the giving of this relief had opened wide the door of missionary opportunity. Work on the older foreign fields during the past year was unusually successful, the board reporting receipts of $2,404,988 for its missionary operations and $278,000 for relief work, aa well as $100,000 worth of clothing; 6,998 baptisms on the foreign fields; 187 of the 611 churches self-supporting, with a total of 405 foreign missionaries and 978 native workers employed.

During the year the receipts of the Sunday School Board reached $1,147,721.73, and the board turned back into general work of the denomination the sum of $189,000. Although only three years of age. the Relief and Annuity Board, which seeks to supply the needs of aged, dependent ministers and their families, has doubled the number of beneficiaries receiving aid from the denomination as well as the amount of relief given. It now has permanent resources in excess of $900,000. ihere are 119 Baptist educational institutions in the South, with a total enrollment of 44),000 pupils, the report I of the Education Board showed, and I 2,185 of these pupils are preparing for ^ special Christian service, such as the I ministry, missionary and other special religious work.

HJRSDAY, MORNING, JUNE 2, 1921. Sumter Watchman and Southron. Mr. J. J. Hrennan, of Harbv and I Co., who returned yesterday fiotn a j business trip of several days through j portions of Barnwell, Aiken and ( Bamberg counties, reports that in ' some sections a number of farmers are plowing up cotton and planting corn and other crops. The farmers have been influenced to this action largely by the generally unfavorable prospects of the crou, due to cold weather, excessive rains, and poor stands, but principally by the multitude of boll weevils that already infest the young cotton plants. It is u known fact that the weevils that hibernate during the winter and survive until spring live until cotton begins putting on forms by sucking the juice of the young cotton plar.ts, but heretofore in this state they have been so few in number in the early part of the season that no attention has been paid to the little damage they have done. This year, however, the weevils are so numerous that the damage is uuite serious and no ticeably apparent. The abundance of the weevils now foreshadows heavy damage to the bottom and middle crop, which usually escape, owing to the scarcity of the weevils in thei *-arlv weeks of the cotton growing | season. The weevil experts of thej department of agriculture recommend that as soon as the weevils I emerge from their winter hibernation the cotton fields be regularly and frequently inspected and all weevils found?usually in the buds of the' young plants- be killed, as by this practice a great many of the pests can b" eradicated before they begin laying eggs, which they do not do until cotton begins putting on forms. The weevils that live through the ? winter do comparatively little dam- . age. as they are not numerous in I ci mpnrismi with the millions that I infest the fields Inter in the season. | It is the second, third, fourth and I later generations of weevils that de I !!!? crop. i 11 oy mm;ipi> i>> geoinet riral rat in. and otm weevil that lives through the winter is the ancestress of many million by July and August. To kill one woevil now is the equivalent of killing many millions in late July and August.! Those who have cotton will be well advised to heed the directions of the government experts to inspect their crop frequently and kill the weevils' found. | * WHEN IN TKOIULE * Call Plione 77 * , * P. & W.
