He is very popular among tin* I^'gtonnaires and will n<) doubt have the support of many of the jmsts throughout the .-date. Seeking Ite-Flection To CongrcHH Hon. W. I''. Stevenson, congressman from the fiftii district has his announcement in today's ( hronicle seeking re-election to ids oust in the National house, So far Mr. Stevenson has no opposition and none jiave been heard of" who will oppose him this year. Mr. Stevenson is popular in his district, is looked upon as one of the strongest men from his state in the national assembly and should remain there for many more years where he has been of valuable service to his state. If he should have, opposition Kershaw county will again give him a great majority. Boll Weevil Active in Some Counties Clemson College, June 2. weevil infestation counts made in eight count ios through the central and ca>tcrn pari of the state show that weevils are now quite active in many places, says Director II. W. IP,| iv of tin- South Carolina Expei:mcnl Station. The average infestation f.tr the farms examined is 1 -til weevils pcc acre compared with TJ.r> p(., ;,c re for the same period last year. The number of weevils per acre on individual t.nms, howevel, varies greatly. On one Colleton county farm there were i?7:> weevils per acre, on one Calhoun farm were 1645 weevils per acre, on one ^Darlington farm were %0 weevils pet acre. \ Throughout the eastern part of the state cotton is beginning to fruit rapidly, and Prof. Barre urges that if early applications of poison have not already been made they should be made immediately.

Bulletin No. KM on Bol Weevil Poisoning" can be secured from County Agent Cireen, Panicky Over White Killers Governor John G. Richards is quoted this wpok as saying in effect that study of the case of Johnson and Coleman, facing execution for the murder of Holuc, pay clerk of a Spartanburg mill, has convinced him that capital punishment should be alrolishe.il. Perhaps so. We don't know. liut the governor, almost in the ucx1 s. utencc of Ins -statement. goes >>n to say that he would -let 'In' t.wo negroe- from AlU-tidale county, due to be executed today, go t ? their death I eihaps the governor means that he thinks capital punishment should be abolished in the cases of white folks whose friends can bring great pressure to bear upon the chief executive; but in the cases of friendless or almost friendless negroes, it doesn't make so much difference.?\orkville Enquirer. ^ i Living Beyond incomes Noting that the county jail is fillo<4 largely with young white men, the Grand Jury voices its humiliation. It is a sad state of affairs, the jury says in its presentment and ctT.est study of the situation by the people of the county is recommended. ' We think that one cause of this," says the presentment, "is that the people n- :i whole are living far bevor.d their means. Unquestionably they are spending more than they an honestly earn and are being fo cod to \ iol 11e the laws in order ' > get mor.ey to carry on their en(leavers." % Living beyond incomes is not new but this report of the Grand Jury would indicate that the practice is more general now than formerly. It that is true, it is little wondet that the county jail is filled largeh with young white men.?Greonvilh Piedmont. "S'all Right, Professor. "Who's the absent-minded one now?" said the professor in triumphant tones suddenly producing a couple of umbrellas from under his arm as he and his wife were returning from church.

WHY CULTIVATE CROPS Knowing Correct Anawer to Above Will Help Do The Job Hetter Why cultivate cotton? After a week of intermittent rains, when the weeds have all but obscured the vtrugglwig young plants, there can be but one arrnwer to this question. But ask the question of a grdup of farmers who have followed or rid* den the cultivator over long rows, year after year, and you will get a variety of answers. "Conserve moisture", "Kill weeds", "Make a mulch", "Break the soil crust", and "Make work for the hired man" are the reasons most frequently given. Whatever reasons are given,, the fact remains that a good job of killing weeds does, at the same time, most of these other things. Tests made in 28 states by the IJ. S. Department of Agriculture have shown thut yields from cultivated corn plots averaged no higher than those from uncultivated plots where weed grovVth was prevented by surface scraping. It appears from this that the primary object is to kill weeds and that "making a mulch", "breaking the soil crust" and others are by-product effects. The greatest loss of moisture from the cotton field is through the leaves of the plants. The more weeds there are, the less moisture for the crop. So, from the standpoint of moisture, weeds are direct competitors and will handicap the crop to that extent. The most effective moisture control is the kind that gets the weeds before they have a chance to use it, thut is, just before, or ?t the time they are coming through the ground. Here is another important fact: Many of the common grasses and other, weeds prevalent in cotton or corn fields c-onsumu more nitrogen, pound for pound of growth, than the young crop plants. Hence, conservation of plant fqod is another point iri favor'of clean cultivation. Professor Montgomery in his hook, "The ('o,rn Crop", states that the consumption of plant food by weeds may be even more injurious to the corn than the consumption of water. Regardless of the fertility of any Kershaw county fields, none have j soil fertility to waste. Certainly no one wants to see the profit on his fertilizer investment reduced through plant-food "robbery". It is poor business to waste plant food, whether from the soil or from the fertilizer bag, but this is sure to happen when there is poor or ineffective weed control, according to County Agent Henry D. Green. Does Murder Out? Lord Byng, of Vimy, police commissioner of metropolitan London's 7,500,000 population, reported that during 1028 there were eighteen murders in London. Eleven of the murderers were convicted and punished. The other seven committed suicide. No murder mysteries were carried over to the next annual report. Viscount Byng's slate was clean. New York, in the same year, reported 401 killings and Chicago led the list with 498. Thirty American cities for which some records are available reported altogether 2,387 homicides, and 1028 was by no means a high year in the murder industry. We have skilled police in this country, but wc hold life too cheaply. Out of the hundreds of thousands who are arrested on various charges only a relatively small proportion are pun ishod. All down the line those who are arrested escape punishment. Crime is more common than in any other highly civilized country, but punishment is backward.
