COTTON CONTEST GOES ON
/
i Cotton Manufacturers Association
Again Donates Prise Funds
Clemsou College, Feb. 18.?The
South Carolina Five-Acre Cotton Con,
teat, conducted first in 1926 and
, again in 1927 by the Extension Ser,
vice, will be repeated in 1928, the
, Cotton Manufacturers Association uf
I South Carolina having announced that
it will repeat this year its generous
I donation of $2000 given last year fu.
, Prices- The prices for the initial contest
jn 1026 were given by the editora
of The State, Columbia,
j The contest will be on the same
five-acre basis as heretofore, anl
there will be six prises?one each of
$1000, $500, $200, and threat of $100.
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.

HCst Lie Detector.
Wentworth, N. 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. Twenty-one
members of the ctew
of the American oil tanker Chuky,
which exploded and sank while en
route from San Pedro, Cal., to Yokohoma,
Japan, were landed at Miska,
Japan, last Friday. All of the rescued
men were in serious condition.
Sixteen of the crew were lost.
Mrs. Lillian Lindley McKie, charged
with murdering her husband in
Augusta, Ga., more than a year ago,
was acquitted by. the Jury which
heard the case for the second time,
last Friday night. On the first trial
' Mrs. McKie was convicted.

the winter and early spring. l)o not

"Tenants should be encouraged to

spray the violets with limesulphui i

said that he had sustained a fracture j
of the skull. An operation was im- j
mediately performed. At this writing

condition of the injured lad is.?Lan- .

After a long argument by attorneys,
the judge allowed Rev. Thomas
P. 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.
