From Screw-Worms
Bflenvson College, Oct. lS.-nSince
ilKftw-worm losses to cattle and
Kes have been reported in widely
i^Kttrated communities in the south
eKjtern portion of )South Carolina, anK]
owners are advised by W. C.
Settles, extension entomologist, to
sLt practices which will prevent a
Sjcorrence or spread of the trouble.
" Mr. Nettles urges careful watch on

For Greater Yields
Control Oat Smuts
Clemson College, Oct. 13.?In addition
to seed treatment, the only control
for oat smuts in past years, we
now have smut-resistant varieties one
of which is also cold resistant, thanks
to plant breeding, says W. C. Nettles,
extension entomologist, w|io reports
that many farmers intend to
plant smut-resistant seed this fall.
Many other farmers planting nonsmut
resistant varieties will decide
to treat seed when they recall the
unusually large percentage of smutaffected
heads found' in their fields
last spring, Mr. Nettles believe^.
These farmers, he advises, should insist
on treated seed or treat the seed
themselves at a cost of only a few
cents per bushel.
Of the several methods of treating
oat seed with formaldehyde the
"sprinkle method" is most often used.
The steps of this method are as follows:
Dump the seed on a clean floor,
or in a tight box, bin, or wagon body.
Add one pint of formaldehyde to
40 gallons of water, sufficiently to
treat 50 bushels. Sprinkle this while
shoveling the oats from one pile to
another, using one gallon to every
one and one-fourth bushels of oats.
Cover the pile with sacks which
have been wet with the formaldehyde
solution, and leave at least two hours,
overnight if desired.
(Sow immediately, making allowance
for swollen seed by setting the
drill to sow one-fourth more per acre.
If sowing is delayed, spread and
dry thoroughly.
Where it is desired to store the
seed, the dry method is the most satisfactory.

Doves Killed By Hail
Atlus, Okla.?Hundreds of doves,
esteemed as game by hunters, were
killed in Jackson county by a severe
hailstorm recently. Scores of dead
birds littered Altus streets. Inmates
of the Jackson county jail were set
to work to clear the courthouse lawn
of birds knocked from their perches
atop the courthouse.

Kentucky Rye To
Return From France
Paris.?One of these days the
treasury attache of the American
Embassy here will get a message
from ^Washington and 100,000 gallons
of Kentucky rye will be on their way
from France to-the United States,
How come this sort of bringing
coals to Newcastle? It's a tale that
begins with a nobl? gesture of the
American Red Cross in 1018 and
which is particularly distinguished by
the name of Victor Ciaillard, Bordeaux
capitalist.
Victor is one French business man
who certainly has lived up to his
name (gaillard: spirited, bold, gallant).
Possessed of a veritable liquid
treasure, for more than 10 years
he turned a deaf' ear to the fabulous
offers of the bootlegging gentry and
savod for posterity's legal highballs
a priceless ambrosia.
French, Gaillard is not a whiskey
drinker; but he knows good liquor,
be it from Cognac or Kentucky.
That's why, when he learned the government
had purchased 100,000 gallons
of 104 proof (in 1918) Glonbrqok
Kentucky rye, he sniffed a deal.
The consignment had been sent
over by the American Red Cross for
thirsty doughboys, but none of them
ever got a whiff of it. The barrels
were in a warehouse at Le Havre *at
the time of the Armistice* and became
part of those famous war stocks left
behind by the A. E. F. and whose sale
to France was to give rise to so many
discussions.
Gaillard bought the whiskey and
stored it away at Bordeaux as an investment.
Naturally, this became
known to bootlegdom and underworld
emissaries made regular trips down
there to try to get it. But in spite
of their fabulous offers, they all got
the air. (Sale of such rare spirits to
bootleggers would have been, in Gaillard's
eyes, a sin against society.
With the end of prohibition, the
Frenchman at onct> sought to make
an honest profit by^selling the whiskey
back to its original owners. But
the Glenbrook firm had not survived
the dry era. This means that the
whiskey, because of customs barriers,
would have to pay duty,, as it could
not technically be returned to ' its
point of departure.
Moreover, while Gaillard has proof
he bought the rye from the French
government, customs statistics covering
its entry into this country could
not be found. In addition to this,
Gaillard, for reasons of economy, sold
the Red Cross barrels and poured the
whiskey into a reservoir, losing one
more proof of the precious liquid's
origin.
As soon as the treasury department
has been supplied with sufficient
proofs, an unprecedented event will
occur: Kentucky whiskey will be shipped
from France to the United
States.
Police of Los Angeles, Cal., frustrated
a plot to kidnap the son of a
wealthy California wine merchant for
a ransom of $200,000. The alleged
kidnap gang was rounded up by the
police. The same gang is alleged to
have planned to tunnel into the vault
of a San Diego bank and rob it of
$157,000 known to be there.

Pros And Cons Of
AAA Cotton Policy
Clemaon College, Oct. 13.?Our National
Cotton Policy is the title of
Circular 135 just issued by the Extension
.Service here to present two
opposing views regarding the cotton
production control "work of the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration.
The views against production control
are reprinted from a recent
pamphlet prepared by W. L. Clayton,
of Anderson, Clayton, & Co., well
known cotton brokers. The views
supporting the AAA policy are reprinted
from an editorial article by
Dr. Tait Butler, one of the editors of
The Progressive Farmer. o
Stating among other things that
the real purpose behind the national
cotton policy is not reduction but
"parity" prices, Mr. Clayton says that
every one applauds this purpose but
this does not necessarily commit us
to approval of the means employed.
He thinks, for example, that "the cotton
farmer should receive the benefit
of the Domestic Allotment Plan as
provided by the Agricultural Adjustment
Act, free of any condition -of
acreage reduction. This would give
the farmer 'parity' price for the domestically
consumed portion of his
crop and leave him free to follow his
own inclinations in the matter of producing
cotton for export at the world
price."
Replying to this, Dt. Butler says
in part:
"The cotton farmer has, up until
last year, been allowed to 'follow, his
own inclination in the matter of producing
cotton' and what has been the
results? " In 1911, 1914, 1920, 1926,
1926, and 1931, the United (States
cotton farmer 'following his own inclination
in the matter of producing
cotton', produced from 15 1-2 to 18
million bales each of these years and
because the prices fell below the cost
of production as a'result of the overproduction,
there were throughout the
entire South depressed business conditions
for all and want and suffering
for many. Similar conditions
will follow the first year the cotton
farmer again 'follows his own inclination
in. . . . producing cotton'.
"The cotton farmers of the South
must make another choice. They must
decide whether they want a controll
ed production, which provides for full ;
export and domestic needs, or the ,
return of five-cent cotton and all the ,
misery which always follows over- 1
production and the resulting low ,
prices." i

Cash Can Be Had j
From Pool Cotton
Holders of Participation Trust Certificates
which were issued to producers
who plowed up cotton in 1933
may now borrow, an additional amount
on these certificates or sell them outright.
The Participation Trust Certificate
must accompany the application
which goes to Washington whether
you borrow or sell. Those farmers
who have misplaced or lost these
Trust Certificates should apply for
duplicates through the county agent's
office. Several days will be required
to secure these duplicates from Washington,
however. Those who hold
these Trust Certificates may make
application for an additional loan or
to sell them by coming to the county
agent's office in the court house in
Camden. Also for convenience of
farmers over the county a sifpply of
the necessary blanks have been sent
to the following places and persons:
M. G. King, Bethune; W. T. Holley,
Route 2, Jefferson; Bank of KershaWj
Kershaw; J. D. Watson, Blaney; R. C.
Jones, Liberty Hill; W. H. Stokes,
Westville; J. H. Small, Stoneboro;
Victor Ward, Jr., Lugoff; I. J. McKenzie,
Camden, Route 1 (Antioch);
B. E. Truesdale, Boykin Mill; and
J. L. Cooper, Cassatt, with the request
that they furnish these to farmers
who request them. These
blanks must be executed before a
Notary. Farmers who find it inconvenient
to make out these papers at
any of these points will be assisted
if they will come to the county
agent's office in Camden. All applications
for additional loan or sale of
cotton must be accompanied by the
Participation Trust Certificate and
these must come through the county
agent's office in Camden. Therefore,
farmers making out these papers at
various points over the county are
asked to mail them direct to the county
agent in Camden. We in turn will
check the papers for accuracy so that
there will not be unnecessary delays
and we will also make necessary records
in our office. These forms
must be filled- out in duplicate. A
farmer desiring to sell his option pool
cotton outright at a definite date set
in advance will use Form C-5F in duplicate.
This form is entitled "Offer
of Sale of Participation Trust Certificate."
Those desiring to borrow
2 cents per pound lens carrying'
charges thus far will use Form No.
C-6H in duplicate. In either event
the Participation Trust Certificates
must be attached to these forms and
sent direct to county agent's office in
Camden. The carrying charges from
February 1 through September 30
have been at the rate of 30 cents per
bale per month.?Henry D. Green,
County Agent.
