Conradi, Pnt<> UioloKlst, (his morning after the weekly conference in Director Txmg's ofoil the boll weevil situation. Other facts and bUgiceKtion* tfevtUo<ped at the conference are given below. The weather conditions art* variable throughout the state, ranging from extreme wet weather in some localities to extreme drought in others. In nmny fields throughout the,central and south ern parts of (he state there la little fruiting at this time, because of ex oesslve natural shedding combined with weevil punctures. In dry areas in the Piedmont section natural shed ding is very heavy, although weevil infestation is comparatively light. But the falling off of fruit is generally at tributed by farmers to the boll weevil. ?The general?wi'iullM conditions at this time resemble those of last year, although (he same extremes do not exr 1st in the same localities In every ease. The weather damage at this time should not be overlooked by farmers, and every effort should be made to get most careful and impartial esti mates of the bereentago Of their crop loss due to weevil and the percentage due (o natural shedding. It must be remembered that owing to heaevy con tinuous rainfall in certain sections of the state, there \y?nld likely haw been a crop failure regardless of tlw) boll weevil. This is important for people to Consider so that they may not get the idea that cot toil can no longer be grown successfully. There were cot ton crop failures on account of weather long before the boll weevil conic. Romance of Youth Revived. Media, I*a., Aug. 17.?A romance of school days was revived here today when Mrs. Panthea H. Hilton, sixty nine years old, of Media, was married to Rev. James W. Walling of Columbia, S. O. The latter is a retired Methodist minister, seventy years old. The mar riage was performed at the home of the bride's son, TIarry Hilton, by the Rev. Robert W. Mellwain., formerly pastor of the Media Methodist Episco pal Church. Dr. Walling and his bride were childhood friends, each married anil had families and ultimately were be reaved. Renewing their friendship, Dr. Walling visited Media and claimed as his bride his sweetheart of more than fifty years ago.

Stringing out from the suburban transit terminals of New York every Sunday and holiday noes the army of khakl-clad hikers. There may be an automobile for every twenty of the country's population, but a host of city folks disprove the theory of a future leg-enfeebled citirenry and ara learning to walk all over again. To the more casual minded, the hike Is just exercise, but to those wha catch Its real significance the hike means a great deal m?re. It Is the cheapest form of recreation and therefore appeals to those living tn crowded districts and unable to avail themselves of the more expensive amusements. And these people, be it noted, ara Just those the country is so anxious to have spread out and settled in the farming sections. The hike, indeed, has possibilities as a real starter for the "back to the farm'* movement. Doughboy and Boy Scout Lead Way Just a brief survey of the rollicking groups which move off from the out lying terminals on holidays estab lishes a few general types. There is the ex-service man and his friends who will hear from him the story of more serious excursions on the muddy roads of France. He tight ens a strap here and another there on the blanket roll adjustment or the "shelter half," In which the commis sary is packed for the mid day feast by the roadside. fcxpert directions come from him on the method of flinging the pack so it will not feel so heavy or Interfere with the free body movement. He will pass along the Information gained In his army days, of how that same pack was evolved after numerous experiments to find the easiest way of carrying the heaviest load. With results ha now compliments, but which he char acterized when a doughboy as a "blankety-blank total failure." T Then there are the boy Bcout par ties, adept at everything pertaining to "shanks mare" traveling and wood craft. The ex-service man and the boy scout are pioneers In the hiking game. IJsten to one of them right off the train and making ready for a twelve mllo Jaunt: "Get that can teen over to the side, Jlmmle, and it won't keep bouncing off your leg every step. Is It filled? Well, then, we drink. How about the eats? I^et's check *em off. You got the spuds. Bill; the bacon Jlmmie. Who has the coffee and the Borden tin cow?" "Right here," announces a freckled comrade of the road, patting his knap sack. "Snitched the mocha and the can of milk when Sis wasn't looking." "Well, then, let's go!" snap?*1 the commander of the expedition. This party is traveling light for real distance. Another must expect to make a shorter hitch or else be count ing greatly on lta power of endur ance. Perhaps the camp Is not far off because the group Is equipped for an over-night stay with heavy blanket rolls, hatches, lanterns, canvas wa terpalls, rubber ponchos, kettles, pots, new fangled firestand, etc., etc. The blankets are laid out for a better packing of the bags and cans of food. When the party commences to load up the members bristle all over with camp tools and equipment. Back to the Farm The veteran from the crowded city tenement has found a new territory to roam and one almost unknown to his associate*. He Is Introducing them to this newly discovered land and teaching them tyw to be Independent of any transportation but their own good legs and of any subsistence but what they can curry and prepare. "Walk, and cook your own," fs his motto. Wno will Ray the leaven thus fer menting in the city crowds will not bear fruit In a keener appreciation of country delights, especially as these are added to by Increased comforts on the farm. Wl.t.h his radio hitched up, the farmer listens In on the best entertainment the country has to offer. Modern home devices wipe our many hardships formerly Imposed upon Isolated dwellers. There is, In ahort, a rapid cutting down of the differential between farm and city life. In the meantime, knowledge rnnst precede a trne appreciation of what the country holds, and this is what the hike aupplles. There is more ap peal In one a?rple tree In blossom than In reams of printed mattejr put out to Induce the citizen of the city to change hln abode to the country. The hikers constitute a crowing nrmy, equipped with bacon, ppuds, coffee and tin cow for merely a day's outing but nevertheless seeing fright* that make them yearn to be among them all the time. It Is not too roach te assume that the army may one day recruit the open placea. FRUIT JARS We still have some Half Gallon, Glass I op Fruit Jars at a very low price, $1.25 Per Dozen W.
