he will make up in quality. He is

will bring good prices. The market
has been depressed during the past

ltkc cotton, is counted as tobacco
wnetner the quality is good or poor.

DR. J. H. 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.

77,072 additions to the churches
through Its Instrumentalities, church
extension operations of $1,248,000, and
298 patients treated at the Tubercular
Sanatorium at El Paso.
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.
The Woman's Missionary Union,
representing the organized women of
the South, reports a total of 19,485 organized
societies of women and young
people, while the cash contributions
by the to tae various causes
fostered by the denomination during
the year amounted to $3,116,497.
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.
