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

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

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

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

His wife gazed blankly at him.

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.
The President's Commission on
Law Enforcement is o^&rating in a
