Among the Pom gressive fanners, both large hnd | under-officials in Washington therci small throughout South Carolina, ad- is a continuous game going on of try-j vocat* the early plowin* under ot >"* *® ,»ut-miart, one anofter to to- , „ 7„ ^ ,! terpretmg the reasons behind admin- cdtton stalks, foliage ai^ unopened jgtrgtion moves and in predicting ad- r- bolls Just as soon as possible after cotton is picked. When this is done the food supply for the boll weevil is no longer avail able and many of the vieevils still on the Stalks and ih the fields are destroyed. , Plowing under may be done by disking the fields or may be accom plished by using a stalk cutter and then turning under with a turning plow. Virtually all agriculturists advocate turning imder all cotton stalks not merely because of the boll weevil but ministration' action before it takes i place. After hearing the “conflden-i tial” opinions of minor executives in| different «government departments j any visitor to this city would be left in an utter state of confusion about the war situation and would also be made to feel that all stories and speeches made by government offi cials are not to be taken at their face value. A recent example was the talk, both among officials here and in the newspaper^, that^ussia was ready to givev up and make a separate peace. These stories came out at the also in order that the money spent [time the president asked for $5,985,- for fertilizing the cotton crop may 000,000 more lease-lend money. It be partly Salvaged by thus making j has been known right along here that use of the fertilizing value of the cotton stalks. Soil conservationists and agricul- many members of congress object to giving equipment to Russia, so the^ turists recommend that clean tilled crops, such as cotton, be followed by a winter crop of small grain, Aus trian peas, or vetch. The plantmg of the cover crop should be done be tween September 15 and October 15, advises H. A. Woodle, agronomist of Clemson college.

Mgra. immediately interpreted the “Russian collapse" story as being mere propa ganda to ease the passage of the new lease-lend measure. Doubtless there is a large quantity, of propaganda being released fromj Washington to impress the public with the dangers facing the United States, but probably not nearly as many of the important stories issuing from this city are pure propaganda as the wise-acres would have us be lieve. There are some who even think •the ship-sinkings by Nazis were in vented to arouse a war spirit here and we still hear opinions that the Nazi-Russian war is merely a fake war arranged by Hitler and Stalin as a means of getting England and the United States to walk into a trap. These examples are brought up merely to indicate how far certain Washington guessera' go in treating all statements and stories with the utmost sxispicion. Commenting on this situation, a leading business man who visit^ Washington recently said: “If the government wants unity among the people of this country it certainly ought to start the ground work in Washington. With everybody here telling you something different I truly believe that our thousands of federal employees are proving to be one of the greatest enemies of unity." Of course there is endless discus sion here over the president’s new lease-lend request and his report on the expenditure of the seven billions appropriated in the first lease-lend law. The discussion centers around the fact that only a little over $300,- 090,000 worth of supplies has actually reached the nations flidiung the Axis powers, that a large percentage of that amount represents food and that the other $6,700,000,000 appropriated represents goods “on order." . With figures like that to work on it is easy to make it appear that our help to the allies is inflitesimal, many of thoM debating the subject ignor ing completedly the fact that we have filled ov«r $4,000,000,000- worth of orders for equipment which were not placed under the lease-lend law. We have also accelerated our production on many types of equipment by about 300 per cent in the last six months. There is no doubt that we haven’t reached neai’ly the output which British needs urgently require, but there are plenty of figures to indi cate that the job isn’t hopeless and that our speed of help will,multiply very rapidly. The new request for funds is to make it possible to place further or ders even though it will be some time before present orders are completed- Naturally, it is pointed out, if our program is to be uninterrupted we canonot wait until the first seven bil lions worth of goods are delivered before placing orders for more sup- iNTElUC***” —* h it liacettary to b* a high tchool graduato in ordor to on- lui in th* Navy?

C. plies. The new request is epected to carryJthe program through to 1943. The new lease-lend measure is op posed by many of the isolationists in congress as well as by those who feel that the financial structure of our country is imi^riled by the growing debt. The new tax law, which calls for far heavier taxes than were ever before paid by the people of this country, is expected to bring in about $13,000,000,000 of revenue in 1942. I This is approximately half of present ' estimated'.government expenditures jfor 1942. j The new tax law, which has been ' changed very little from the bill first I passed by the senate and analyzed , previously in this column, requires )IT Lcyery married person earning over I $1,500 and every single person earn ing over $750 to pay a tax. It also ' imposes additional taxes on many {products we buy, including automo- I biles, radios, refrigerators, liquor, theater admissions. Jewelry, furs, toi let preparations, sporting goods, tele phones, « washing machines, light , bulbs, transportation and a host of other products and aervices. I In November also,, if not before, I congress is expected to be asked to repeal the neutrality act which now prevents our ships from going into belligerent waters, prevents us from delivering war supplies to a belliger ent nation and prevents us from arm ing our morehant vessels. And right now that anticipated request ia wor rying congress a lot more than either the lease-lend measure or new tax bills. TO THESE UNUSUAL TIMES we invite you to * inspect an unusual new car—new in its beauty, its cohort, its choice of two fine 90 horsepower engines, 6 cylinders or 8.
