Farm Demonstration News tt U By C. L. VAUGHAN, County Agent Mexican Bean Beetle The Mexican bean beetle is now ap pearing in the Piedmont section of South Carolina. It is very destrict- ive to many varieties of garden beans. For control measure we recommend dusting while the plants are dry with one pound of calcium arsenate to nine parts hydrated lime dusting from the sides and underneath the plants as much as possible. An ap plication of dust should be made every week or" ten days. Two or More Cash Crops What should determine the cash crop of Laurens county farming? The main factors are location as to shipping point, labor, capital, per sonal likes and experience. Practi cally every man will admit that he should have two or more cash crops but only a very small percentage has two. Cotton Is and should be the main cash crop and there should be a second and some should have' the third cash crop. The main purpose of the second cash crop would be for the better distribution of labor on the farms and cash coming in at different times when cotton is sold. Below will give some of the side lines of the sec ond cash crops in Laurens county. We now have 17 farmers trying peaches on-4^ie commercial scale. We have over 100 trying poultry on a larger scale than they did in the past. Many are growing a few hogs for the local market. Some few are selling dairy products. We have several still trying sheep and some few new ones going into the sheep business and quite a number raising differ ent kinds of vegetables, mostly for local market Two men in the coun ty are trying grapes on a commercial scale. The outlook for increasing in cash crops: We have several farmers planning on setting peach orchards this fall. We now have 360 acres in the county and we should have at least 600 acres. We need at least 600 fanners to increase poultry pro duction. We need 100 farmers to ship cream to creameries. Some money can be made out of shipping cream but we will have to get more experience and better cows than we now have in order to make very much money. It will give a good market for the surplus feed and we •hfttild bt ftbk (9 clear the skim milk, fnairare and wires from tiw cow. One advantage would be that we would bare a cash return in the winter time for out labor. Cows should be fresh in the fall and dry during the )usy summer months. That would give time for working crops during the summer months. The most pros perous farming sections in the United States are the sections where practi cally all the money is gotten from tho sale of live stock and dairy pro ducts. There is no one crop section in the United States very prosper ous. We have one of the best cash lumergue s* . •. '' - ' A: d? i'j" • Wins From Paal Painleve By Derided Majority. Not All Satisfied As Ballots Fall. Versailles, France, June IS.—Gas ton Doumergue, president of the sen ate, was today sleeted president of the republic of France in succession to Alexandre ttillerand, who resign ed Wednesday because of the opposi tion to .him in parliament. The booming of a cannon at 4:80 o’clock this afternoon announced the" solution by the senate and the cham ber of deputies gathered together in national assembly, of one of the grave politic^ crisis arising from the May elections. The choosing of M. Doumergue as chief executive took place in the pres ence of the usual throng of invited notables, who bruised one another’* ribs in the main galleries of the Ver sailles palace in an endeavor to ob tain points of vantage from which to witness the historic scene. Thef* were also present a score of uninvit ed persons, admitted to prove that the ceremony of electing a chief exe cutive was really a public function. Two candidates were in the field: M. Doumergue, who received 566 votes, and Paul Painleve, president of the chamber of deputies, who had 316 adherents. Raoul Peret, former prer sident of the chamber, earlier in th* day, announced his candidacy for the post as the standard bearer of th« center and the right of the chamber, but later withdrew from the contest. The result of the balloting was not agreeable to everyone. Deputies of the new majority in the chamber did not conceal their chagrin over t)Mi fact that, after having driven Presi dent Millerand from the Elysee pal ace, they were unable to name hit successor. “But today, Friday, the 13th, was bound to be unlucky for someone,” declared M. Franklin- Bouillon, t member of the defeated Coalition, referring to the combina tion of suposedly unlucky factors con nected with the event Immediately after the election Pre mier Frederic Francois-Marsal ten dered his resignation of his cabinet to M. Doumergue. The resignation was accepted but M. Doumergue requested the premier to continue with routine business until s new cabinet is form ed. Edouard Herriot, leader of the radical party, has been requested to form s new ministry and undoubtedly will do so. M. Painleve proved a good loser. Pe was the first of the statesmen to Fire his successful opponent congra- tulations on having received the high est honor that the country could be stow. The election of M. Doumergue, which had seemed certain since Thurs day afternoon, is regarded in politi cal circles as foreshadowing far- reaching consequences. The first re sult win be a vacancy in ths chair of the president of the senate for the oc cupancy of which the friends of for mer Premier Poincare already are supporting him. Poincare declares he crops in America if we would only j g no ^ a candidate for the chair but use it right and have another cash supports** assert he will accept the charts of murdering L. Smiley Bigham. The neW. trial was granted by the supreme court upon the contention by Bigham’s attorneys that they had after-discovered evidence to support his claim that h* waa innocent, and also upon the introduction of numer ous affidavits by Florence citisens saying they did not believe he could have had a fair trial when he was tried in March 1921, because of the mmm 1 JUNE popular feeling following the tragedy. The aftfer-discovered evidence includes a letter alleged to have been written by Smiley Bibham, which indicates the latter contemplated killing all members of the family and then tak ing his own life. There were no eye-witnesses to the tragedy in the old Bigham home near Pamplico and first theory was that Smiley, whose body was found some distance from the house with a re volver near, had shot his mother, sis ter and the two children to death, and committed suicide. The arrest of Edmond was made some time later, following an investigation by the coroner’s jury. 666 quickly relieves Constipation. Billioasneaa.

BUCHANAN’S PRESSING CLUB Phone 28 crop as a helper to cotton. In every cind of a crop we will have short years in production and price occa sionally and at these times is when we need a side line of crops the most, f we would only keep cost account records on our cotton as well as live stock then we could see where the eaks are in farming. Many people say they believe that there i* no money in live stock and many will say that they believe there is no money in cotton, but we know that >elieving so does not make it so. The only way to find out is to keep ac curate records on these different things and then we will be able to know instead of believing. Cotton Cuftivatiqu Thorough fast shallow cultivation is recommended for cotton at this time of the year. The shallow culti vation is not as important right at this time as it will be in the near future, but we know that it will take rapid cultivation in order to conserve moisture and keep down weeds and grass for the future. At this sea son of the year it is the important time for working crops, for it will soon be time to begin poisoning the weevil and then in many cases culti vation will have to be delayed, but it should not be. the post if he is elected to it. It is possible also that there may be a vacancy in the presidency of the chamber of deputies as M. Painleve declared to friends that he would re sign if he was not elected to the presidency of the republic at Ver sailles today. ■im WOMEN IN PUBLIC OFFICE ****■ JTHATDO P. •A asiT ' ANS Eight women now sit in tha Brit ish parliament.

' Bingham Gets Change of Venue Judge Shipp Orders That Florence Man Go On Trial Second Time In Horry County. Florence, June 16—Edmund D. Big ham, convicted slayer of his brother and charged with the murder of four other members of his family, was granted s change of venue by Judge S. W. G. Shim) today when the case was called for the new trial allowed by the state supreme court. The county to which the case will be transferred was not decided upon immediately, but it Will be George town, Horry or Marion, which with Florence county, make up the twelfth judicial district. One reason for the change of venue, according to attorneys was the fact that Judge Shipp had previously pass ed upon some phases of the Bigham case. Obtaining of a change of venue is regarded by the defense as its second important victory in the long legal struggle that began early in 1921 when Edmund D. Bigham, JPlorence county family, whs arrested on the charge of murdering hi* brother, L. Smiley Bigham, his mother, Mrs. M M. Bigham, his sister, Mrs. Marjorie Black, and the two adopted children of the lattor, Jqpn and Leo MeCracfe on, both mere boys. The first legal decision favorable to the defendant was that of the rapteme court last Whsto it eOfefed a new trial 1 the defeedniit, whi then had been daath udftente for more than on VUDOR PORCH SHADES The Only Shade Made .With a Ventilator Vudor \ciitiJ-'tin*' u >* i Let us fit you up so you can live on your porch.
