TO MEET WEEYI1
Combating of Pest Serious Problem
Group of Planters and Extension M ori
erg Give Helpful Suggestions.
Some weeks ago a number of business
men of the state realizing that
there is a crying need for a well
thought out program for agicultural
procedure under boll weevil conditions
asked Dr. W. W. Long and R. I. Manning
to form a committee of well
qualified men to formulate such a program
for the state.
These gentlemen appointed the following
committee, which met the Co.
lumbia on September 27: Dr. W. W.
Long, Wade Drake, J. Ross Hanahon.
R. C. Hamer, J. W. Gaston, G. W.
Duvall, Dr. W. C. Brown, R. B. Cun
ningham, B. W. Segars, R. I. Manning
and D. R. Coker. Mr. Coker was selected
as chairman and Mr. Cunning,
ham as secretary. All were present
except Mr. Hamer.
The opinions of every member as
to the best farming methods for boll
weevil conditions were fully expressed
and all agreed on the main features
of a program. A subcommittee, consisting
of B. W. Segars, R. B. Cunningham,
J. W. Gaston, Dr. W. W. Long
and D. R. Coker, was appointed to
draft the program. This committee
met 1n Columbia October 5, all pres.
ent except Dr. Long, who was represented
by Mr. Blackwell, and the accompanying
program and recommendations
are the result of their work.
This program in substantially its present
form . was submitted to all the
members of the committee. Mr.
Drake^s approval of the program has
noA been received and Mr. Hamer has
withheld approval as he considers it
conflicts with the cotton association's
plan of not more than one-fourth of
any farm being planted to cotton. The
program was submitted to a meeting
or rarm demonstration agents ai
Clemson college Friday, October 7,
and was discussed and approved. The
program, therefore, goes to the peo.
pie with the authority of a strong and
experienced committee and with the
o. k. of the extension department.
The suggested program follows:
SUGGESTED PROGRAM FOR FARM.
IXG IX SOUTH CAROLIX V UXDER
BOLL WEEVIL COXDITIOXS
The march of the boll weevil aero?.-1
the cotton belt has been accompanied
by panic and demoralization. Farmers,
bankers and merchants frighten,
ed by one or two years of heaVy losses,
have in many cases, curtailed operations
and credits to the point where
farming was stifled and labor was
forced to leave the country to preven
starvation. There are signs that a
similar panic may occur in parts of
this state unless means are taken to
reassure the people and point out a
safe course for agricultural operations
end a group of practical farmers and
business men in cooperation with the
under boll weevil conditions. To this
%
and where proved successful should
Extension Bureau have studied the
be increased as rapidly as the people
situation in the light of their own experience
and that of other states and
the accumulated experimental results
of governmental agencies and beg
leave to present the following suggestions
and program as one which will
meet the situation, preventing deraor.
auzauon anu euaunng uur winning
and business interests to continue
profitable operations.
It is especially important to prevent
our people from stampeding into new
and untried fields of agriculture in
which they will fail for lack of Information
and experience. Promising
new crops should of course be tested
The problem is not so much as to
(what to do as it is how to reassure
the people and get the information of
how to proceed to every farmer, renter,
and sharecropper in the state.
This must be done if it is done at all
hy the larger farmers, merchants,
bankers and professional men who
should make it their business to reach
the isolated farmers and tenants and
discuss wiith them the program of
operations under boll weevil conditions.
The greatest responsibility
rests upon the landowners. If they
are going to continue to own their
lands they will be obliged to see to
it that those who farm them have correct
Instruction and active supervision
until he thoroughly learns the new
methods of operation.
A few broad principles of operation
for the whole state may be suggested:
First, Destroy immediately all cotton
stalks as soon as the crop is
gathered. This will prevent the hatching
of millions of new weevils during
October. The old weevils do not hibernate
until cold weather and the
destruction of their food supply will
cause them to die before frost. The
carrying out of this suggestion ac once
is imperative and every effort should
be made to induce every farmer in th
state to do this work at once.
L
Second, During the fall and winter
j destroy all cover in which weevils may
be hiding, burning ditch banks and
. margins of woods and ^cleaning up
around stump.s Fodder and hay!
i stacks should not be allowed to remain
near cotton fields.
Third, Cotton should be liberally fer
tilized with a quick acting fertilizer
; containing about 50 lbs. of available
phosphoric acid per acre, ammonia
[ and potash to be used according to the
i character and relative fertility of the
soil. All applications of ammonia
should be put down before the middle
of June. Over-doses of potash have
a tendency to delay maturity and encourages
overgrowth of stalk.
Fourth, Early planting of approved
varieties of cotton with plenty of seed.
The farmer should have at least 3 bu.
of good seed foi^each acre he is going
to plant. He should plant at least two
bushels before April 1st in the lower
half of the state and before April 10th
in the upper half of the state reserving
a bushel per acre. If a stand is
not secured by the first planting he
should plant over not later than Apriil
10 in the lpwer half or April 20 in the
upper half. If large quantities of seed
are used good stands are usually secured
from extra euly plantings and
the experience is th^t under boll weevil
conditions the greatest crops are
always made from the earliest plantings
. If Stands are not secured at a
comparatively early stage the land in
tended for cotton should be put into
other crops.
Fifth, Cotton should be left thick in
the drill. This distance should vary
with the height of the natural growth
of the plant, 3 or 4 in. not being too
close as a minimum and 8 or 10 as a
maximum.
Sixth, The question of poisoning for
boll weevil is still in the experimental
state but your committee believe that
poisoning with calcium arsenate is
valuable, especially if done at the
proper time and under favorable conditions.
Heavy damage from plant
lice following dusting with calcium
arsenate early last August makes
doubtful as to this treatment when
applied at that time. The weevils
should also be picked from the plant
ill uic can) siagco anu ao owu uo
punctured squares are noticed they
should be picked up twice per week
until mid-summer. In no case should
nlore cotton be planted than can be
properly handled at all stages and
promptly picked by the labor on thi
farm, for it is the height of folly to
plant a crop and let the boll weevil
eat it up for lack of attention or allow
it to become blue in the fields for
lack of inckins force.
Everywhere it must bo insisted o
that the individual farmer and tenant
raise an abundant supply of food and
feed and that this food and feed be
properly conserved. The man with r
crib full of corn and hay, a smoke
house full of moat and molasses, a
hundred bushels of sweet potatoes
a storage house, and a garden full of
vegetables cannot be put out of business
by the boll weevil or any other
pest.
Storage houses for keeping sweet
potatoes should be everywhere constructed
as this is one of the greatest
crops we have and one which every
farmer can raise. '
For rppor Coastal Plain and Sand
llill Kegion.
The cotton acreage here may be regu
lated according to the available labor
to take care of cultivation, weevil control
and prompt gathering. In nc
case, however, should more than 50%
be put into cotton and tobacco together.
A liberal acreage should go
into corn and velvet beans. Hogs
should be carried on every farm and
cattle where possible. Sorghum, peas,
sweet potatoes and in some cases peanuts
should be planted.
In every county the farmers should
utilize fully the Government farm experts.
No one can advise intelligently
and correctly ju-t what each indiviual
farmers should do. The demonstration
agent, however, can tell you
exactly what to do for he knows your
conditions and has available all the
necessary information to advise you
upon each detail.
The year 1921 has been more favorable
for the boll weevil than any sinct
he entered the belt in 1892. Consequently
he has done more damage than
ever before. His damage next year
and succeeding years will depend on
weather conditions and the intelligence
and industry used in lighting
him.
We urge all our citizens to cooperate
to carry this message to every farmer
and farm tenant in the state. Unless
i the main features of the above pro'
grain are generally adopted the whole
j state will suffer.
Last but not least call on the Extension
Agents and Clemson College
I to help In every problem.

45,000 MILES IN ONE WORLDSERIES
TELEGRAPH CIR
CUIT
Enough to Reach Fifteen Times from
New York to San Francisco,
Or Nearly Twice Around the
World.
To satisfy the demands of fans in
every quarter of the United States
and Canada who could not be reached
quickly enough by the press and who
could not crowd in at the newspaper i
bulletin boards during the world series
j&st ended, the Western Union
Company, in addition to providing
telegraph circuits for all the press
associations and for scores of individual
newspapers was obliged to set
up a-"circuit" containing over 45,000
miles of wire.
The company chose its most expert
baseball reporter to manipulate the
"master key" at the Polo Grounds.
This key flashed the signals thorugh
a mass of multiple "repeaters" which
connected up all the large centers on
the North American continent, and
from each of these centers a further
net-work of wires was set up to supply
city and hamlet in the immediate
neighborhood with a full and detailed
description of every ball pitched, every
decision of the umpires and every
movement of the players. Hundreds
of thousands of fans seated in theatres
armories, open-air coliseums and other
temporary meeting grounds often
knew that the ball just pitched was
a called strike before many of those
at the Polo Grounds could catch sight
of the signal on the great score-board
behind left field to which they had
to refer when they missed the gesture
of the umpire himself; for the "master
key" knew everything, and translated
the intricate mysteries of every
game into the language of fandora,
and flashed the magic words to the
cheering multitudes with the speed
of light. The description was sent
from sight, no "copy" being supplied
to this operator-reporter, who flashed
the plays exactly as he saw them before
a pencil could have written them
down.
An idea of the magnitude of the circuit
which furnished the news of every
game simultaneously to all the
hundreds of cities connected to it,
without the intervention of any human
agency other than the man at the Polo
Grounds and his worthy assistant,
may be gathered from the fact that
a vast rectangle, New York to Montreal,
Toronto, Detroit, Chicago, Win
nipeg, Vancouver, Seattle, Portland,
San Francisco, Los Angeles, PhoenixAlbuquerque,
San Antonio, New Orleans,
Jacksonville, Savannah, Wilmington
and Norfolk, back to New
York via Pnstnn anH fViot hofwoft,,
'hese fringes of the electrical spider'.web
side lines criss-crossed and intersected
each other at every Important
repeater point of the Western
Union system, and extended to the
haunts of the fans in many a village
whose total population is less than a
thousand souls, mostly rooters.
Suggestions from Our Readers.
The rain brought the following suggestion
from a business man: ,
"The crossings at the town hall cor- ^
tier after every rain are in bad shape ^
and I want to suggest that the town
to eliminate this, put down cement
covering the centers of the street
around the "Go to the right" light post .
and reaching up Second street as far
as the Covington Hotel and down Sec- ^
ond street to Ladd's Drug Store, up
Market street for about 20 ft. and down
Market street for the same distance.
This would keep the mud off of the
crossing and help the looks of the
square a hundred fold." ]
Another business man suggests:
"Call attention to auto drivers dim- 1
ming their lights. I came near having
i serious accident because of someone .
driving meeting me blinded me with
his high powered auto lights. It is
positively dangerous for ladies to drive
a car after night because of thought,
less drivers failing to dim their lights.
Editor's Note:
We think both of the above suggestions
deserve the consideration of our
readers. 1
The paving of the corner at the town '
hall would certainly add to the sightly. 1
ness of the corner and would be a fair i
start toward obtaining our ambition I
to see the business streets all paved <
an dlt would certainly eliminate the 1
muddy crossing trouble.
The other suggestion with reference I
to dimming automobile lights is we (
think, covered by an ordinance, if not 1
it certainly ought to be. However, it
should not be necessary to have to resort
to the law to get on- people to i
observe the rule of throwing on dim- i
mers when meeting a car. No one
wants to cause an accident so we beg <
those driving at night to have consid- ,
eration for the other fellow.

Cheraw High Defeat Dillon Hig
Overwhelmingly.
It did the Cheraw football fans "al
the good" to see local boy3 put u;
a snappy game last Friday which re
suited in the snowing under of th
Dillon team.
From the very start the Cherav
boys played the game in fine style. Bot
their defensive r.nl offensive worl
showed such improvement over forme
games and was so void of fumbles am
misplays that Dillon was completel;
outclassed.
ft is a hard matter to try to pick ou
the star players of this game as th<
whole team played well.
Graham, Hal Duvall, "Heinle" Du
vail, Causey and Marion Evans mad<

won't do to mention the whole tean
separately so we stop with these.
Cheraw failed to kick goal severa
times costing them several points
however the final score was 45 to C
which was enough.

"Room' at the Top" and Miss
Mary McLeod gave a very interesting
reading on "God and His Relation to
Man." Miss Queen Godfrey at the
piano and Mr. Sumwalt with his violin
furnished the music, which was thoroughly
enjoyed by all.
A number of yisltors were present
and their presence was appreciated,
ty and we hope visitors will feel at
liberty to attend the meetings each
week.
The next meeting will be held in the
Methodist church next Tuesday evening
at 7:30 and it is hoped that there
will be a very large attendance.

P. A. R. Meeting.
The Old Cheraw's Chapter D. A. R.
held a very delightful meeting at the
home of Mrs. L. A. Meiklejohn on the
afternoon of Oct. 26th.
The 9ubject of study for the afternoon
was "Our Town" and the members
very appropriately responded to
roll call with the names of town
afflcials.
After hearing some interesting current
events in National and State D. A.
it. circles read by Mrs. E. W. Duvall,
:he following program, replete with
nolufnl information was coven:
"Form of Government and Duties
ind Powers of Officials" by Mrs. W.

Short talks on the various departments:
"Health and Judiciary" by
Mrs. C. L. Prince. "Education" by
Miss Strother and "Public Works" by
Mrs. L. A. Meiklejohn.
During the social hour a delicious
ice course was served by the hostess.
The meeting then adjourned.

WEEKLY COTTON LETTER.
By Savannah Cotton Factorage Co.
(All inquiries answered promptly.)
The cotton market has suffered from
lack of support during the past week.
The scarcity of money reduced the
number of outside speculators, leaving
the market in the hands of professionals.
There was some complaint
of a poorer demand, but exports held
up and cotton offered for sale found
buyers at about 25 points off January
futures for Middling. January high
during the week was 19.28 on October
28th, and the low was 17.85 today, Nov.
1st. It is hoped that a better demand
will appear in the near future, as this
is the one thing needed to start a bull
market
Germany is reported to be buying
cotton for shipment from January to
July 1922 and no doubt other countries
will get their share during the
season.
The next Ginners' Report will be
published on November 9th, at 10 A. M.

and died within a few days.
Funeral services will be held at Shi

state fair and was an annual exhibitor
of horses up until three or four years
ago. He was at one time an officer of
the society.
Mr. .Irby was horn in Marlboro county
November 21, 1864, and therefore if
he had lived a few weeks longer he
would have been 57 years of age. H<
served on Gen. Wilie Jones' staff in

THE ROMANCE IF A HOT BISCUIT
Reaching across the breakfast table
for a hot biscuit does not at first seem
romantic. j
There is romance, however, even
in a mundane hot biscuit. Its exis- J
tence is possible only after hundreds,
yes, thousands of years of experimentation.
Romance is all along the fi
backward way from the modern mill,
to the days of the quern, the saddle
stone, and the old old rounded grinding
stone of the Stone Age.
Those ancient forefathers, or rather
foremothers of mankind, first ground Sr
their grains and nuts by using a
round piece of sandstone a3 a grinder,
and another stone, the surface of
a rock, as a base. T<
Then came the saddle stone, a concave
base qn which grain was spread
and rubbed into a coarse meal. Thei 19
dough was laid on heated flat or con- of
vex stones covered with hot ashes and ca
baked. bl
Somewhere around 200 B. C. the sc
liiern came into use. One stone re- '
solved and crushed the grain against on
another. Huge mill stones driven by bc
vater power are credited to the Ro- nil
mans; steam power to the men of the pr
L8th century. Romance is ?->mis found tw
jven in a pan of hot biscuits. a
Bake ovens of a kind, have been di- ne
covered in tne ruined courtyards of sci
he ancient Chaldeans. Apparently 1
;ach houreholder possessed one where Ot
some kind of cakes or biscuits were du
>aked. be
Modern grinding of wheat might du
)e called the first step toward the
ichievement of present day hot bis- ni?
suits; a knowledge of the uses of be
reast and baking povtfer the second; toj
nd the manufacture of self-rising
lour which began in Charleston, S. C.
ind enabled housewives to prepare
/
lot biscuits and bread more easily
ind economically than before, the
hird and last. E"
Over 10,000,000 barrels of self-rising
lour are now being sold annually in
he Southeast alone. Biscuits are as
sommon there as soda crackers -and
ringer crackers are in the North.
Self-rising flour is nothing more or No
ess than high grade of plain flour,
>lus refined acid phosphate, ordinary 2i
>aking soda, and dry table salt?sub- 3i
itantially the same chemical properies
as appear in the usual baking 51
owder formula. The acid phosphate 61
ind soda, under the influence of moisure
and heat, react and liberate leav- ^
ming gas, which bubbles up, giving 8t
o the dough the light, cellular struc- 9t
ure required for perfect baking. 101
Calcium phosphate, used in this ll?
lour, is necessary for perfect nutriion.
"Cereals & Cereal Products"
3sued by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture states that: ^
"Phosphate is perhaps the most
aluable of all the mineral foods of
ilants. It is certain that phosphate No
lays a most important role in {he
ital organism, aside from its useful- ^1
less in the building of bone. Phos- 3i
hate is quite as indispensable as 4t
vater or air to vegetable or animal
ife." 6t
7t
The usual formula for baking pow- 11
ler and that for the self-rising flour
s about the same, except that bak- ^
ig powder Contains a considerable
uantity of corn starch or some filler 111

added just the right quantity
f ingredients to a barrel of flour to

'his is a saving of $3.35 a barrel. Or ^
te 10,000,000 barrels used in the

?akness. It is not dangerous at
st. I nfact, many people scarcely
tice it and go on for days, thinking *
ey will be better the next day. V -/;
