Fish- bume, of Columbia, telling of the Abrams cancer treatment. He had been a sufferer from this dread di sease for many years and had tried all sorts of so-called “cures” in vain. He states that he has been completely cured by the Abrams treatment. This article was read by Mrs. G. M. Greene, of Barnwell, who immedi ately took the matter up with Capt. Fishburn and the physician who ad ministered the treatment, she hav ing in mind a Barnwell County suf ferer. After finding out the approx imate cost, Mrs. Greene appealed to the charitable people of the county through the columns of The People, and in addition did much personal so licitation. As a result of her good work, Mr. John Bryant left Barnwell Monday night for Chattanooga, Tenn., to take the treatment If he is cured, the credit will la* largely due to the efforts of Mrs. Greene, but we are glad to have had some small part in publishing the article by Capt. Fishbume. If Mr. Bryant re turns home a well man, the satisfac tion of having taken even this small part in the saving of a human life will greatly compensate us for many of the trials and tribulations incident to the weekly grind of newspaper life. Attention is called to the fact that a little more money will be needed than has been pledged and those who wish to let aharity "begin at home” should lose no time in seeing Mrs. Greene and making a donation. very SaeUiag Items.

Corn planting has begun and soon the farmers will start planting cotton in this section. ^ The days gain nine minutes in sun shine this week. Advertue in The People. , * By C. A. Whittla, .1 . Soil Improvement Committee. The boll weevil has practically cov ered the cotton belt, but there seems to be 1 no marked reduction in the amount of cotton grown as a result. The fact is the boll weevil can not and will not overthrow ~4he South’s greatest crop. / How are < farmers meeting the boll weevil most auocessfally? There are two malm ways: (1) Pushing the cotton to early maturity and (2) Kill ing the boll weevil. . The following questions and angwers give the main things that are being done and also the mistakes that jure being made: PUSHING THE COTTON CROP. What sells are preferred for hasten ing the crop? Wqjl drained, light soils warm up earlier and grow off the cotton, quick er than heavy or poorly drained soils. Sandy soils are, therefore, better than clayey soils. Is It advisable to use poor soils? It would be a serious mistake. Poor •oils never did pay, and with the boll weevil taking toll, poor land cotton will only put the farmer into a deeper hole. Remember that it costs more to grow chtton under boll weevil conditions, and there must be enough cotton to make it worth vhiie to fight with the boll weerll. , What varieties of cotton are pre ferred? , Any variety which will set an abun dance ‘of boils early and will continue to set fruit throughout the season. A variety which is early but which also quits fruiting early Is not desirable because the weevils will do heavier damage to the bolls when they do not find squares to puncture Cleveland strains are most generally preferred by fanners. What msthods of cultivation ar« used to hasten maturity? t*Yu- Frequent, shallow cultivation until the greater part of the crop Is sot. Then leot frequent cultivation The later cultivation should bf the skip- middle method, taking alternate mid dies and aUh the asst cuMlvatton tak ing the one* that wera skipped This keep* half of the roots of the cotton pUn< undisturbed ao that there will Tie less shedding, more squaring and bee Ur protection of the cotton holls. KILLING THE WEEVIL. It Uis pslaan method af killing the I practical? It la. but It is a particular method which many farmers may fail with whan they first try It. because they are not In the hahlt of dnlng particu lar things right the first lima If the rules for poisoning are aA he red to strictly the cotton farmer will get the moat complete ami eco- ■oralc control of the weevil of any method known Any one rontempinting the use of poison should get complete tastruc- twins from the Governmant Boll Wee vil Station, Tallulah, lui..—the State Entomologist, or agricultural col leges. boes It pay to kill ths weevils on the young cotton stalks before squares begin to form? If the weevils come out of winter qtmrter* in lan;e numbers and threat en to lake all the first squares, it is considered advisable to kill as many of them aa poasibie. Calcium arnenate sprinkled from a perforated can or from a cheese bag on the young plants Is the most efficient and ecunjmlcal method of killing the weevils on the young plants. It is not necessary to apply the poi son until just before the squares begin to form. Is it practical to gather and destroy squares? - If the poison method is not used it will'often be found necessary to gath er and destroy damaged squares that contain immature weevils, In order to have assurance of any sort of a crop. Picking up squares is not as efficient nor as inexpensive as poisoning, hut if thorqjjghly done a fair to good crop can be obtained. Is poisoned molasses applied to cot ton effective? Poisoned molasses or other poisoned sweets will kill some boll weevils dur ing dewless nights, but the poisoned sweets wi11 kill honey bees and other sweet loving Insects that are needed to carry from flower to flower the pollen that causes them to fruit. Cal cium arsenate dust is more efficient and less expensive to use where poi soned molasses are effective. Are boll weevil traps practical? A farmer never tries a trap more than once. The government has tried all kinds and recommends none. Can fhe' say of cotton be poisoned so as to poison or repel the weevil? The Creator has given all plants the power absorb through their roots -to. resist all that is not plant food. If plants could not resist the poisons in the soil we might run a risk of being poisoned every time we eat aj>otato. apple, berry, etc.. Gan the bell weevil be driven from cotton by offensive odors? The boll weevil has pot yet been successfully coquetted through its breathieg organs. It has been sub jected to the moat Intense war g LEAVE YOUR LAUNDRY AT THE SENTINEL OFFICE I have taken the laundry agency for the Capitol City Laundry* of Co lumbia, and will send laundry off every Tuesday morning.
