Contest Cotton
Was Profitable
Orangeburg, April 8.?W. n
Mooter, farmer of Holly Hill Wd^
inadvertantly eliminaUd from the
prize class in last year's five-acre
cotton contest by the severe storms
that damaged his crop. Yet the
contest method# of culture he fob
lowed in competing for the prizes
returned him a neat profit on the
; crop, with a yield of 049 pounds an
acre of one and an eighth-inch Oaro-1
Una Foster lint, notwithstanding in- j
i juries that put the average farmer'
i on the debit side of his ledger.
| Ihis was the . ni^st backward
year, writes Mr. Mooter, "I have
ever tried to farm in my life of 54
years. I had only three weeks the
entire season that 1 chlled real farming
weather. 1 can only attribute
my yield to good land and thick
spacing.
"I dropped it in hills every 12
inches and thinned to three and five
stalks in the hill. Am sorry 1 thinned
it at all, for on another field of
five acres I left all that came up on
four rows and showed it to County
Agent R. F, Kolb and other extension
agents. They agreed with me that
it made one-third more cotton. I am
going to try, five acres, shoul<|'I live
to plant again, and not thin out a
stalk.
"I tjelieve my four applications of
poison really paid me well.
"I side-dressed twice with 75 pounds
an acre of soda* each time.
I hope to be able to enter again
in 1929 as well as my son and two
renters."

Canada To Mexico
Road 18 Proposed
What prettier dream for the milhone
of motorist* in the United
State* than a Pan-American highway,
asks The Pathfinder, a high road
and a good road going from the cold
of Canada straight down the backhone
of the North American continent
through changing clime*, ' varying
vegetation and different states with
different languages to where the
Panama Canal in tropical warmth
luts the little neck of land that
divide* the two great oceans?
1 hat is a dream now growing toward
reality.
The plan of this great international
road was formally proposed and discussed
at the Pan-American Congres*
>n Havana last May. The Congress
directed the Pan-American Unioi) to,
niuke a study of the subject and submit
a report on it at the meeting at j
Rio de Janerio next June.
1 here will be some hard problems
to solve. They were once thought in?
surmountable, but roads have already
been built over more difficult places
in the United States. Whether the
work is to be undertaken as a single,
unified task, or whether the completed
road will resylt from connections
with detached roads in thd
various countries is a detail yet to
be worked dut.
One thing is pjretty well decided on,
that is that the road should follow
the Pacific slope of the volcanic
range that forms the ridge of Central
America.
With the exception of Honduras
such a road should pass through the
centers of population. And then it
would have the great advantage of
the milder climate on the Pacific side,
to say nothing of the finer secenery.
It will not be like building through
a wilderness. Roads are in those
Central American countries ? now.
Across the state of Guatemala only
a single gap breaks the cpntinuity.
The great highway will be able to
connect up with the existing roads all
along. Some of these roads were laid
out by th(? old conquistadores?who
av^jdjbridge-makiiig as far as possible.
There is enthusiasm for the ..enterprise
in the Central American countries.
Former President Chiles of
Mexaco recently said: "I want to
see 100,000 American N motor cars
crossing the line into Mexico, to enable
the American people to see and
meet my people, that a better and
friendlier understanding may obtain
between the two nations."
The Pan-American highway was "a
matter of mention in President Coolidge
s message to the opening of the
second session of the 70th Congress.
He spoke in favor of the plan and
asked that it be encouraged. Getting
more specific he said:
"We should provide our Southerri
neighbors, if they request it, with
engineer advisers for the construction
of roads and bridges. Private interests
should look with favor upon
all reasonable loans sought by (hese
countries to open main lines of
travel."
It is an old idea. It was talked of
by Henry Clay back in the 1840^.
ror a long time there was the idea
of an inter-American railroad, and
that has not been entirely given up
yet. But the highway is certainly
more in keeping with the present age
and the needs of the countries involved.
As Mr. Hoover visited these
small countries above the canal he
carried a map of the proposed highway
in his pocket, ^ie is considered
a friend and partisan of the enterprise.
The prospects are that within a few
years Americans may take their vadations
driving through these regions
of verdant tropical vegetation where
multicolored birds fly overhead and
the roar of the Pacific's SUrf is heard
in the distance. The motorist will
traverse the - scenes "of the fefctfy
Spanish conquerors, and take a glance
at the ruins of Mayan, Aztec and
Inca -civilizations -that flourished
centuries before white men reached
America. -Snow-capped mountains
will form part of this background,
while every mile covered will bring
new Yiewsiand experiences.
Melting Snow Reveals Body
Gordon, Neb., April 5,?The snow
that cost him his life has melted
away, revealing to searchers the body
of six-year-old Melvin Reeves. The
boy, hunting a lost mitten, was caught
in a sudden and terrific blizzard threo
weeks ago j*nd perished ip a struggle
to reach a place of shelter.
The body was found last night by
George Davis, an employe at the
ranch of Nathan Hiller. It lay in a
cow path about 200 yards fr&m the
Hiller house, indicating the boy had
tteeirtrytng to reach the home of Mrs.
Hiller, who was his aunt. The Hiller
place is four miles from the Reeves
; ranch.
: r Hundreds of persons, including 200
Indians from the Pine Ridge reserva?
L tlon, joined in many days of fruitless
search for the boy. ;

Clemson Students * *
Plan Weevil Jobs
Clemson College, April 8.?Fifty
agricultural student# here will again
b* given a two-monthB Intensive
i training in boll weevil /Control just
has they were last year in preparation
lor summer jobs as boll weevil
specialist* on large plantations in the
j state.
Dr. F, H. H. Calhoun, director of
agricultural teaching, announces thai
[the training will be just as comprehensive
as it was last year but slight,'y
readjusted as result of lust year's
experiences.
A few students completing lust
>eni s training were employed on
large plantations last summer. One
ot the growers said his boll weevil
student had more than paid his wages
>y saving poison that previously had
been washed. Others found the boys
quite well prepared to handle the
situation, which was rather perplexing
at times. The boys likewise
found this a most agreeable employment
for the summer vacation and
were able to earn a material portion
oi their school ex(>enses. ,
In view of heavy boll weeiil uttacks
predicted for next summer, cspccial>
poitions of the Piedmont heretofore
untroubled, Dr. Calhoun feels
that the course of training will be of
increased mutual benefit to" both
plantation owners and agricultural
students.

De8poiler of Women
Sentenced To Death
Atlanta. Ca., April 5.?Alvin E.
Merritt, young married man and alleged
"north side fiend' was convicted
by a Jury in Fulton superior court
here late today and sentenced to
death for criminal assault. The jury
returned its verdict of guilty within
20 minutes after it retired to deliberate
the case.
Merritt, his mother, sister and wife
with an eight months old baby in
her arms, who were seated with him,
took the verdict calmly and with only
slight indication that they had heard.
Merritt was charged with attacking
a young married woman who
yesterday identified him from the
stand and described the attack, saying
her assailant forced her to do
his bidding by threatening her with
a pistol.
Judge E. E. Pomeroy today ruled
; that evidence in other crimes for
which Merritt is under indictment
could be admitted and the state called
seven victims of tl\e "fiend" to the
stand who identified' Merritt. Pays
