Insect Pest In Cargo
Arriving In S. C. Port

undesirable characters in thfe insect
world And vegetable growers and
gardeners of the United States are
i much in debt to him

CLINTON, S. C„ THURSDAY. JULY 31. 195X
Figures Tell The Story
' If you like figures, the new annual ixilio
statistical review of the National Founda
tion for Infantile Paralysis makes fascinat
ing reading. Its graphs, charts, maps and col
umns of numbers, viewed with imagination,
show what can l»e done to conquer a disease
when a great volunteer health organization
joins scientist a,nd layman together for the
public good. i
The most interesting figure in the statis
tical review is the zero beside the state of
Rhode Island. Rhode Island, in ot,her words,
hiid no polio cases in 1957. But as recently as
1955. there were serious polio epidemics in
Rhode Island with a total of 421 cases. In
that year 50.9 people of every’ 100,000 were
stricken.
Next lowest on the list are Nevada and
New Hampshire with only four cases each:
and Vermont and Delaware with five cases
each. Massachusetts, Minnesota, Washington
and Pennsylvania also made fine showings
with decreases of 96 or more per cent from
the average number of cases for the five
preceding years.
California. Texas and Michigan, on the
other hand, have the highest figures with
763, 744 and 511 cases respectively.
Widespread use of the Salk vaccine, offi-
tially introduced in 1956, is without doubt
the main reason for these declines. But the
National Foundation warns against undue
optimism. One man’s voccination does not
protect his neighbor. Polio virus may still be
carried by a vaccinated person who may in
fect his unvaccinated associates. Not till
nearly every state can boast a zero beside its
polio column will this terrifying disease be
finally conquered. Meanwhile, you can pro
tect yourself by the simple, painless process
of ratting your full series of Salk shcRs
ist. charged with curiosity, enthusiasm and
good will, who can roam the four corners of
the world, meeting in friendship and under
standing the people of other nations and
races.
“The tourist plane and the bomber for
years haveHxeeh racing each other toward a
photo finish. In my opinion, however? the
tourist plane, if allowed to move forward un
shackled by political (boundaries and eco
nomic restrictions, will win this ‘race be
tween education and catastrophe’.”
Millions of individuals now go to other
lands by air—swiftly and economically. The
vilume of traffic soars each year. This
amounts to mass education on a scale un
precedented in the history of the world.
Never have people had such an opportunity
to know each other and to learn and profit
from each other. Out of this, one may hope
will come an age when the bomber, the mis
sile. and the nuclear rocket will be found only
in museums.
An employe publication of the Internation
al Harvester Company offers a safe-driving
tip: “Drive as though that car behind you
were a police patrol car. You’ll be amazed at
how safe highways can get.”
Babson Discusses
The 1958 Crop Outlook
staff of the Plant Quarantine
Branch, U. S. Department of Ag
riculture. stationed at Charleston
| It is his business to inspect cargoes
arriving at the port to insure that
n o posts or insect diseases are
brought into this country from fo
reign ports.
In 1956 ChapmaA discovered the
first white garden snails (Theba
Pisana), brought into this country
from the Mediterranean area. The
snails are a new crop-damaging in
sect pest, and attack all vegetable
crops and flowers. They stick to
cargo crates or fence posts like
barnacles
James N. Smith, head of the
Plant Quarantine branch in Char
leston, explained that one bi-sexual
white snail may produce up to five
; billion snals in one year.
Smith said Chapman, assistant
head of the Charleston branch, dis
covered the first white snails ar
riving there, and in subsequent
research in curbing the snail me
nace. Chapman was cited by the
Department of Agriculture and re
ceived a $200 award for perform
ance.
A U. S. freighter arriving at the
Charleston port Friday from Casa
blanca was found to be contam
inated with the snails. And what
is now regarded as normal proce
dure on such occasions was resort
ed to—the hold of the vessel was
subjected to a 24-hour fumigation
of deadly hydro cyaic acid gas.
And vegetable growers and flow
er raisers in South Carolina and
other parts of the United States
were protected against tremendous
amounts of labor and expense in
fighting another menace to their
crops and gardens.

Race Between
Education and Catastrophe
Nothing breeds suspicion and misunder
standing more surely than ignorance. The
man who lives in isolation from the world
around him is the man who is the first to
believe the worst of others. For instance', it
has. been a cornerstone of Soviet policy to
keep communism’s captive people almost to-
taly isolated from the non-communist world.
This is necessary if ceaseless communist pro
paganda, predicted on the “big lie" principle,
is to be effective.
Some time ago the International Air
Transport Association met in New York. In
an address of welcome, Juan T. Trippe, pres
ident of PRn American World Airways, said

total Weather condition, between now aad harvete
tiam this fall must, of course, hr reckoned with.
However, there would appear to be no fear as to
adequacy for the 195X1959 com season, since farm
stock* of this grain recently were the thud highest
of record for the date With the bog corn ratio likely
to remain favorable I fon •cant a sharp increase in
this year's fall pig crop
Baked bean devotees will be glad to know
the 1958 U. S crop may be around TH.209.000 bags—
up 16 from last year, 9% above average, and th*
highest production since 1949 U. S. farmers planted
mure acreage to rice this year than they did a year
ago I am expecting a crop of around 47.000.000 bags
(100 pounds each), "niis would be about average, but
would top the small 1957 outturn by 9%. It should
suffice for domestic and export requirements
('OTTON AND SOYBEANS
What impresses me most about the cotton situa
tion is the continuing reduction in the big U. S. sur
plus The August 1 carryover is estimated to be
• down to about 8,700,000 bales, and probably will be
cut sharply again a year hence in view of the very
small acreage in cultivation on July 1—only 12,402,-
000 acres—compared with the 1947-1956 average of
22,611,000 acres. Even though this acreage win be
intensively cultivated, the final outturn will fall far
short of 1958-1959 domestic and export needs. Hence
the expected further cut in stocks. This means that
supplies of better grades of cotton may tighten ma
terially as the new season works along. “
It is still a bit early in the season for me to hazard
a guess on soybean production, but since planted
acreage is at a record high, another huge crop is pro
bable, given favorable weather conditions. Farm
stocks recently were well below the year ago figure,
but were still the third highest of record for the date.
Thus, there should be no dearth of this wonder bean
in the crop year beginning this October 1. Ihe indi
cated supply-demand ratio does not augur sustained
price strength.
