Kules will be announced shortly by< the Clemson College agronomists, who* will be in charge of the contest. The primary purposes of the contest are (1) to produce cotton with a staple approximating one inch h length to meet the bulk of the demand for American types of cotton, and (2) to produce cotton more economically by increasing the yields per acre end thus decreasing the cost per pound so that growers may make a profit. Progress made in the previous contests has been very encouraging, says D. W. Watkins, assistant direct tor of the Extension Service, who had charge of the first contest and has firm faith that the contests will be a big factor in enabling eastern growers to compete with western glowers. He points out that already great progress has been made in disseminating among farmers purebred cotton seed .producing lint of one inch or more; and that a public opinion is being created for growers to receive the price premiums due them on cotton of better staple. Furthermore, contest records show that yields can be increased to a prifitable point by improved cultural methods and intelligent fertilization. South Carolina farmers who desire to enter the contest are invited to see their county farm agents. Mrs. filackmon Dies.

C., Feb. 16.?By watching the "Adam's apple" of A witness a surer method of detecting lies than any "new-fangled" mechanical inventions of scientists, in the opinion of Judge Thomas G. Shaw of the Superior Court. "If a witness swallows his Adam's apple before answering a question, watch out for perjury," he told a grand jury. The next day, when a young man was on trial for stealing an automobile, the judge gave a demonstration. He had been inclined to be lenjent but when he asked if the youth had ever been indicted before, the latter's Adam's apple executed a drop before the prisoner replied in the negative. Pressing his questions swiftly, Judge Shaw soon had a confession of several crimes, and sentenced the defendant to two years' im prisonment. Treat Potato Seed. Clemson College, Feb. 14.?No matter what their source or how clean they may look, it pays to treat Irish potato seed before planting, say specialists here. Even certified seed may harbor disease organisms. The following suggestions are given. Corrosive sublimate or mercuric chloride method.?D issolve four ounces of corosive sublimate in a quart of hot water and dilute to thirty gallons. Soak the seed one and one half hours in this solution, dry them, cut and plant. Renew the solution after third or fourth batch of seed. This treatment is effective for scab, and blackleg and is. considered by most authorities to he more effective for rhizoctonla than the formaldehyde treatment. Do not use metal containers as this disinfectant corrodes metals. Corrosive sublimate is a violent poison when taken internally. Keep it out of the reach of children or domestic animals and do not feed or eat potatoes that have been disinfected with It. Formaldehyde method.?Dilute one pint of commercial (40 percent) formaldehyde (sometimes sold under the trade name "formalin") with thirty gallons of water and use as above. The solution may be used repeatedly and in any kind of vessel. It should not be used after standing any length of time uncovered, however. It is not so poisonous as mercuric chloride, and treated potatoes may be used if thoroughly washed. Do not allow treated potatoes to become re-contamjnated. Use sterilized bags for handling them. Sort out and discard all rotten or clearly diseased potatoes. The treatment is for prevention, not cure; and neither method will clean up thoroughly a bad set -of scab or rhizoctonla. ' In cutting, make the first cut across the stem end. If the vascular System is blackened or the center contains a network of fine black streaks, discard the potato and disinfect the knife before going ahead with the cutting. It is well to use two or three knives, keeping the ones not in use ip a vessel of formaldehyde solution.

Pardue, evangelist, to testify to the confession of murdering her father made to him by Mrs. Alma Petty Gatlin, at Wentworth, N. C. During cross-examination of the preacher yesterday the audience made a tumult, and defense attorneys J charged that the court room was packed with friends of the evangelist who was using tabernacle methods in court. They also charged that divulging the confession to officers was a publicity stunt of the evangelistist. .Interviews with the ministers of Charlotte showed that all but one condemn the evangelist for violating the confidence of a confession to a spiritual adviser.
