In some poisoned fields the infestation is being held below the danger point at present, and it is highly desirable that this be continued for another week or two until a crop of bolls is beyond the probability of injury. In general average the poisoned fields show 24 percent of squares to be infested, while in fields not poisoned 63 percent of the squares are infested; in other words, the weevil damage is about three times as great in the unpoisoned fields. This should | encourage a continuation of dusting for the -present. The heaviest infestations are re- j corded from the southern counties] of Bamberg and Orangeburg, which is to be expected. The infestation continues to be very light in the upper Piedmont including upper Anderson county and thence to the mountains. - - Farmers' "Week Success Clemson College, Aug. 20.?Not a feature of the big Farmers' Week unsuccessful, and the more than one thousand farm folk well instructed, fully recreated and inspired, and greatly pleased. One note of-regret: Rains and ruined ropds kept hundreds of others from enjoying the 1 Varied and complete informational programs each morning by the col*, lege and extension workers. Striking how-to-do-it demonstrations and exhibits each afternoon. Notable ad. ] dresses of wide range of nitereat by men and women of nation-wide reputation at each midday session. Band music, concerts, entertaining lectures, and good moving pictures each late afternoon and evening. Honors -shown to 16 Master Farmers and five Master Farm Hpme Makers. Thus were farmers and farm families served by! thejr agricultural college with what Dr. ?. C. Branson, veteran worker from North Carolina University, call, w the best .program within his knowledge during 80 years of such work in the United States. * A notable fact was that a very large percentage of those attending were women, who have come to realise. that there is more to life for farm women than just keeping house. Another notable fact: A remarkably large persent <xf the attendance was of men and women who came for the week?not Just a day?and thus made a real vacation outing of the occasion; and that is as it should be. Two California physicians have reported to the American Medical association that epidemics of infantile paralysis may be checked by the giving of serum to patients within fortyeight hours after the discovery of the symptoms of the disease. The physicians 'report success in seventeen cases. - _ Mow It Off .Jack?(Helen, there's been something.. trembling on my lips for months and months. Helen?'Yes, so I see. Why don't you shave it off? MASTER FARM HOMK.MAKKR8 Five South Carolina Wont en Receive the New Degree of Honor Last week ut Clemson college five I South Carolina women were honored v. th the degree of Master Farm Homemaker, a corrobtry to Master Farmer, awarded by The h armors J Wife, a national magazine in cooperation with the extension home demon-I stiation department of Winthrop college. 1 The five South Carolina Master Farm Homemakers are: Mrs. J. L.J Williams, of Ninety-Six, Greenwood county; Mrs. i.undrum Sellers, of J Pauline, Spartanburg county; Mrs. Wesley Wellborn, of Helton, Anderson J county; Mrs. 11. L. Lake of Kathwood, 1 Aiken county; and Mrs. John A.J Heirs, of Hampton. They were selected with the same J care and attention to high standards J that were used in the selection of the J Master Farmers of South ' Carolina. 1 The magazine sponsoring the awards! says about the outstanding character-J istics of the five women so honored: 1 The five Master Farm llomemakers J live on farms varying from 77 to 1,-1 400 acres, averaging eight and a half miles from to>Vn. They have one to J seven children. All are good man-J agers of time and money. They fol- J low definite health programs for their families. They train their children J in religion, love of country life and J business methods. They provide for I recreation and social development, and J are active in such community affairs J as the church, home demonstration J club, women's clulb, and school im-1 provemeflt association. Four of them voted in the last elections. | Mrs. Sellers' definition of home is I "The happiest place on earth, where J God reigns, where all are content and J where the door stands open to receive J the stranger." She formerly taught J school, but now makes extra money I marketing $1,600 worth of farm ahfl kitchen produce a year instead. I Mrs. Lake lives on a 1,400-acre cot-1 ton farm which includes a front lawn of three acres. She makes extra | money by keeping books for her husband and selling surplus poultry and 1 garden produce. She says she wants i to spend her old age "here where we ' have struggled and accomplished, sur| rounded by friends, and busy to the j end." Hardly a day passes that she does not have a guest for a meal. Mrs. Hiers has lived 50 years on the same farm. It consists of a pecan grove of 125 acres. Asked what she would- do with extra money for her kitchen she said: "With $5, fix the kitchen stove pipe, with $10 build my cupboards higher, with $25 buy linoleum. Mrs. rfiers has seven children. Mrs. Wellborn mentions among her favorite books: Little Women. Th? Girl of the Limberlost, Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come, and Jbhn Halifax, Gentlemen. Among her favorite musical selections are Dixie, America, Rock of Ages and Holy Night. Mrs. Wellborn's definition of a healthy family is one that is "sound in mind and body, cheerful in disp<? sitiop and aible to carry on a di?y*fc work." Mia. Williams is a former stenographer and teacher. She has seven children, three now in Clemson College, all of whom have been active in . 4-H clurbs. She finds enough time to | take part in many community activities hut keeps a balance between' them and her work at home. , She hopes to retire on the farm. Moses Reed Harris, of Albermarle, N. CM despondent over his grandson beii\g taken from his home by the boy's father, fired a shot gun at himself and missed. Then, next morning, he stabbed himself in the jugular vein with a small penknife, as he stood in the little boy's play house in the hack yard, and died Wednesday.He was 54 years old and had been in bad health for several years. He! left a note saying trouble and bad health caused his suicide. * Plucked Him Easy. Cole?They say a man's first thousand dollars is hardest to get.

Three new attempts , came to grief. Majors Louis Idzio- 1 wski and Casimir Kabular of Poland i took off from Le Bourget flying field in a projected non-stop flight from Paris to New York but a leaking gas fe^d pipe forced them to circle back after passing the Azores and they descended in the sea some 60 miles off Portugal. A passing German | steamer took them to Leixos, near Oporto. They had been In the air' 35 hours. ? j Just previously a flying boat carry- 1 ing the British flag end piloted by! Capt. Frank T. Courtney fell into the I sea about 600 miles northwest of j Hbrto, one of the Azores group, from j which it had taken off. Courtney, j with three companions, sent out a, radio distress call and were rescued about 12 hours later by the steamer Minnewaska,' which landed them at New York. The day before that Capt. Ranxpi Franco, Spanish ace, started on a westward transatlantic flight but his seaplane, too, came down in the water off the Portuguese coast. But it was not too damaged to make Huelva, Spain, under its own power. Franco says he will make another attempt next month. However, it would seem that the Bremen ffyers did not break the north Atlantic jinx. Theirs was the first and only plane to successfully negotiate the westward passage, though dirigibles have done it. A Southern railroad train dispatcher at Columbia, Alester Watson, and his two sons 14 and 16 years old, went out on the flood water in Broad river in a motor boat to rescue some hogs and chiokens. The boat capsized, and the three Watsons spent all day and night clinging to tree trunks, while Mrs. Watson sat in an automobile where the others had left in t>he boat, believing them iost and afraid to leave. Late on the second day, another party in a boat rescued them. The biggest wharf , in the world is being buflt^ at Southampton, England. When completed it will accommodate twenty vessels the size of the Leviathan and will cost $65,000,000. The Spanish steamer Miraflores is reported to have sunk off the coast of Ohile last week with a loss of 100 lives. Only the captain and ten other persons escaped from the sink$f>g ship. The amazing speed of 106 miles per hour is being claimed for the motor boat "Miss America VI," built by Gar Woods, during trials of the boat in the St. Clair river channel & last Sunday near Detroit, Mich. The boat was going so fast that it tore itself to pieces and badly injured it? pilot.
