MORE than 5,000 cities and towns
lu will this year participate iin
Opening weeks" In the National Clean
; Up and Paint Up" campaign, accord
tag to Allen W. Clark, chairman of the
National "Clean Up and Paint Up".
Campaign Bureau, St. Louis- Many of
tteie committees, Clark declares, are
ftus breaking away from tho old
ttUbllshed "clean up" or "annual
Wlh" idea and are striving to make
improvement programs continu
um performances.
i Files in the bureau's offices, which
tedicate that the organization has in
fality become a national clearing
louse for the dissemination of com
munity betterment ideas, show that
tot year more than 2,000 cities and
[towns made an effort to "clean up and
paint up." "This year," commented
pChirm^n Clark, "it looks as thouglf
r?* would co operate with more than
WOO communities, in each of which
'tome live civic leader is trying to im
h)roTe living conditions. Though a
'**lority>of these campaigns will start

Paint and Self-Respect.
> The onfr most important factor In
spreading the gospel of cleanliness,
thrift and civic pride, which the
Bureau is frying to do, is the work
of newspaper editors throughout the
country, asserts Chairman Clark. For
instance, here is what Paul Brown,
editor of The St. Louis Republic, has
to say of the movement:
"Thousands of American cities and
towns have taken up the National
'Clean Up and Paint Up* campaign
that originated in St. Louis/^hree sea
sons ago. It has been indorsed by
thousands of civic, commercial and
women's organizations all over the
nation. The cities that have made
themselves a part of the movement
are cleaner and better cities because
of it The Republic aided in launch
ing the initial campaign and is glad
to know that " the Federation of
Women's Clobs is planning a general
JLtOuis campaign for this spring.
This will aid in making 'St. Louis the
Healthiest City/ for paint is the great
preservative and a powerful aid in
sanitation.. Add to beauty and economy
the fact that paint has a sanitary
v^lue, andT ttie ?, arguments apply with
added force to the big cities. Nut
u rally the paint dealer profits by such
campaign sf None but the pessimist
-will object to this. He gives value
received and more. The house that
~la painted Is tire better for it A
neighborhood that has cleaned up and
painted up is a better one in which
to live. Paint makes for self-respect
and justifiable pride."
In-tfaa office of the National "Clean

every, state dotted by. red stars de

GoycriilAr Munuing wit* with
(Ihh'I'n. Ills entrance Into the #ch<?ol
terns*, where I ho speaking took plflCO,
was greeted wltH vulSwtti^ut) applause,
ami ho frequently had to suspend his
speech for tho cheering to subside,
TIiA iieople of Iah>hvUIo gave their Gov
?ernor a whole-hearted reception ami
showed plainly thojr appreciation ??f his
visit and their thorough enjoyment of
his spCCCll.
The Governor talked on education,
agriculture and law enforcement, pre
facing his remarks with the statement
that "enforcement of law had to he re
stored In South Carolina, and It had
to he regarded before we could make
any substantial^ progress along any
line." This remark drew cheers. The
(Jovernor referred to the pitiful stand
of the state In the education column
of the (dates today, hut spoke with ap
preciation ef the awakening of the peo
pie to the great subject of education
and their determination to have uni
versal education. The sjieaker said
this was an age of transition and that
South Carolina was on the eve of great
progress along educational lines, and
predicted that the "shame of Illiteracy"
would soon he wiped out.. The (Jov
ernor referred to the necessity of an
educated and intelligent citizenship
with the spread of democracy, lie de
nlored the apparent tendency of too
much dependency on the Government
to take earo of all troubles and urged
the education of the cltlssen to rely on
his own endeavors. The (Jovernment.
said the speaker, should be the leaders
of the people, but the people should not
rtiid on the Government for every
thing, referring to the clamoring of the
?>eople last fall when the European war
tlrst came on. lie congratulated the
oeople on the way they had borne their
trials and had come out with confi
dence firmly established, and said it
vas a vindication of the American ays
tem of government.
Commissioners E. J. Watson' followed
'lie Governor and he was Introduced
as the man whom we are all proud of
and who stands head and shoulders
above the other agricultural commis
sioners of the country," Col. Watson
was, received with cheers and at once
launched Into his attack oil the "rocks
of ignorance." He said that as Gov
ernor Manning was concerned with the
enforcement of the criminal laws so he
had preached enforcement of the eco
nomic laws. He said had the ]>eople
been educated "there would not have
been the theoretics and the dlsterlcs of
last fall" and he urged the people to
get back to the first principles of agri
culture. The commissioner of agrlcul
ture told In bold fashion and without
mincing words the curse of the one
crop system of cotton and he hammer
ed home the fact that South Carolina
farmers sacrificed everything to grow
cotton and bought all of their food
stuffs and live stock from the West
mentioning mules, cattle, canned goods,
bread and meats and the other foods
for man and beasts. He urged the peo
ple to "live at home" and first raise
the necessities of life and then plant
cotton for a surplus. This condition,
he said, would not result In "hard
times" If another situation- such as
that of last fall came on the country.
Cob- Watson urged the building of
good roads and the "getting out of the
mud," and fcaid the roads ought to be
built by the stato. Ho mentioned the
soil inoeulatlon now sold to farmers
by his department at cost, and stressed
the need If soil building; and the plant
ing of leguminous crops. Col. Watson
referred to the rej?orted secret organi
zation of farmers as "a miserable or
ganisation from whom I would never
ask a reward." Col. Watson was given
hearty applause and presented with
roses.
At the conclusion of the speaking the
I>eople crowded to the platform and
shook hands with Governor Manning
and Ool. Watson. The Governor ha<l
I>een taken to Leesviile from Columbia
fn an automobile with former Senator
Crosson and Representative W. M.
Oxner, and he returned home in tlif
car with Commissioner Watsoi^. ? ... .

quiring attention In South Carolina

cording to A. K Conrad I, entomologist
of Cleinson College. For tho sake of
the state's spuds, ho describes moth
t?ls of waging war ujhui tho hug.
VThero are two forms of iwison used
for killing tho potato bug," says l'rof
Conrad I. "Tho best Is arsonato of
load. Paris green Is a I ho oxtonstvoly
used. Arsonato of load Is purchased
In two forms, imstc and'pow<lor. Tho
powder Is recommended for tho rea
Hon that It Is moro easily handled, can
not freeze and cannot dry up. For
largo areas this |>owdct' Is used at the
rate ??f I lb to 50 gallons of water. In
making up arsenate of lead or l'arls
?green solutions always stir tho poison
with a little water to the thickness of
white w ash before ,it Is added to the
Sulk of water. Paris groou is made
?p In the same way as arsenate of
'cad,, except that the rate Is 1-4 lb, of
Parts green to 50 gallons of water."
For the small family garden, says
'ho entomologist, arsonato of lead pow
1er Is used at the rate of a heaping
"easpoonful to a pall of water. l'arls
?roan, at tho rate ?>f h level teasjHKiii
*ul to a pall of water, l'arls green
hould not be sprayed on the plants
ithout the addition of a little white
wash to the spray. This can bo ae-.J
?ompllshed by shaking a lump of quick
'mo with a little warm water and add
?ig It to the pall of spray.
Arsenate of lead powder or l'arls
reen may be dusted. For the family
warden it can be duated through a
mislln or cheese cloth sack or through
n old tomato can with a number of
mall holes punched In the bottom,
r^ie best time to dust in this way Is
n the morning when dew Is on, he
"auso then it sticks better. Arsenate
>f lead may be dusted alone without
njury and for young tomatoes should
>o dusted at the rate of about 1 to 2
'bs. to the acre. If one seems to be
Islng too mut'h of It and has trouble,
It can be mixed one-half Its weight

V. To dust Ivarls green, add a tea
?q?oonful of l'arls green to a quart of
air-slaked lime and mix thoroughly
?ihd then dust on plants in the morn
ing while the (lew Is yet on them.
Where one desires to spray the pow
der any kind of spray pump with a
fine nozzle Is satisfactory, Some peo:
?)le apply the spray by means of a
?vldsk broom and still others with pine
brush tied together. Although crude,
and somewhat wasteful, this servos
