We have insisted upon cotton stall
destruction for the reason that wt r
feel it a necessity if the farmer is to
successfully fight the boll weevil ne.\- c
year. The best information obtainable
says destroy the stalks, clear up the R
hedgerows and tarraees. It is urge;!
as a necessary part of the successfu C
vV
fight against the boll weevil. The time 0
is now ssort, very short, if the dt- a;
struction is to be worth anything. A
THE WAR TAXES. 01
There is complaint about the bur- ^
den of war taxes ana there will be v
such complaint for many years tc U
come. There is also complaint aboui
the long time it takes for business U
get back to normal.
While you are making your complaints,
try to keep these facts in
mind:
The war was a tremendously ex- Lj
pensive Uiing. All the nations went s.'
into debt in order to pay their share L
of the cost of the war.
The war was not only expensive "f
but it was destructive. It stopped the
creation of wealth for the time being c
and it destroyed wealth already ex- a
isting. s
A few individuals may be richer be 1
cause of the war but the world as a
v
whole is vastly poorer.
Now the nations will have to pay ri
the cost of the war and will also e
have to replace or pay for the wealth r
that was destroyed tuing the war.
And all this is going to take a long
t.iire. Congress will be levying taxes t
to puy for the world war when all n
th- people now living are dead and in s
th r graves.?Spartanburg Journal. c

"The Tongas National Forest is ,

Mnk Bollworm
Discovered in Texas
Washington, Nov. 21.?An imperii
nt conference on the pink bollworm
ituation in Texas, occasioned by the
ecent clscovery of new nfestations in
'His County, one of the largest cot:>n-producing
counties in the State,
as been called by the Federal Horicultuval
Board of the United States
)epartment of Agriculture, to be held
t Dallas, Tex., December 2 at 10
. m., in the assembly room of the
'exas Chamber of Commerce.
Notices of the conference have been
ent by the board to State entomologists,
commissioners of agriculture,
md officials of Cotton Seed Crusher
issociations and the Amercan Cottpn
u-socation urgently requesting their
ittendance.
The occurrence of the pink boll,vorm
in Ellis county Is looked upon
is by far the most important devolopnent
in the spread of the pest since
ts introduction into the United
States. According to Charles L. Marat
t, chairman of the board, the nev.
ituation demands early and mosl
-erious consideration by the authorises
in Texas as well as by the authorities
of all other (stouten thnt nrnrlnoi
cotton. In the meantime steps havt
jeen taken to secure, by cooperation
m the part of the state of Texas and
.he Cotton Seed Breeders association
>f that state and others interested
adequate control of the movement oi
- eed and cotton from Ellis couny
ending the determination of the conference.
rext of the notice sent out by thf
joard is as follows:
"Very recently five fields in the vi inity
of Ennis, Ellis county, Tex.
iavo been found infested by the pink
jollworm. This county is one of the
argest producers of cotton in Texas.
Vnothcr important consideration is
he fact that in Ellis county are loated
a number of the largest cotton
red farms in the South."The
EUis county infestation apmrently
originated in seed shipped
rom Carlsbad, N. M., of the crop of
1920, prior to the determination of the
ncipient infestation at hat point January
fi. 1921. All of the seed shij ped
"rom the Carlsbad crop of 1921 has
)een adequately disinfected by heatng.
Twenty-seven carloads of seed
>roducd during the years 1918-19-2C
vere shipped to Ennis. A large nam
ler of additional carloads during this
period went to a number of widely
separated points in Texas. A small
... -i? >
IUIIIUV i UL rni('iiiciu^ wrii: mnu ni.iut
;o points in Oklahoma. At many of
Lhese points the Carlsbad seed was
more or less subdivided and in many
:ases used for planting purposes. All
these points have been under field
inspection throughout the season, and
the Ellis infestation is the only one
so far discovered.
"Following the infestation determined
in 1918 in the Peeos Valley ol
Texas, separated by about 90 miles
of semi-desert from Carlsbad, th(
Carlsbad project has been under intensive
inspection to determine any possible
infestation at that point. For
example, in 1918, 111 man-days (ir
other words, full days of cotton field
inspection) were given this district
In 1919, 56 man-days were devoted tc
scouting at Carlsbad. In 1920 scout
ing was continued for 48 days befort
the first infestation was found ir
standing field cotton January 6, 1921
Subsequent to this finding, 216 addi
tional days were devoted to thorough
field inspection throughout the Carlsbad
project. This inspection developed
only two infested fields out ol
94 inspected, and a total of 16 pinh
bollworm were found.
"This occurrence of pink bollworm
in Ellis county undoubtedly is by fai
the most important development
which has occurred in relation to the
finding of the pink bollworm in the
United States. It demands early and
most serious consideration by the
authorities in Texas as well as bji
the authorities of all other states
which produce cotton. Eor this reason
the board has decided to hold a conference
in Dallas on December 2. It
will 1 e called to order at 10 o'clock
in the morning in the assembly room
>f the Texas Chamber of Commerce,
[t is urgently requested that you attend
this conference.
"In the meantime steps have been
aiken to secure, by cooperation on the
part of the state of Texas and the Cotton
Seed Breeders association of that
state and others interested, adequat
control of the movement of seed and
rotton from Ellis cou.ity, pending the
letermination of the conference.

Open Season for
4 Treasure Hunting
| #
Papeete, iTahiti, Nov. 19.?The year
1921 has been the open season for
treasure hunting in the islands. Every
month or feo a report that the vast
treasure f^lleged to have been buried
some GO years ago) on the Islands of
Pinnki had at last been located, has
induced a new company of adventurous
Papeete capitalists to equip a
fresh expedition only to return with
nothing more thn a goodly coat of
sunburn apd back aching from the
strenuous exercise of digging for
weeks in the blistering coral sand.
Then, early in the year, came the
yacht "Geaeaee" from New York in
search of la great treasure of gold,
said to ha>is been left on the island of
Tupai Mami, in the western Societies,
by the Geitnan Pacific squadron when
they were i flying from the pursuing
British anfl Japanese fleets in 1914.
, Much real estate on Tupai-Manu flew
I into the ftoramcnt, on that occasion,
under the action of good charges of
, dynamite?-' but the "Genesee" sailed
away leaving the treasure to be dis"
coved by a future explorer. And now
there is} a! story of a new treasure.
, The tale u, that about 50 years ago
| a Chilean j warship deposited on the
, island o^Moorea (the island close by
I Tahiti) a treasure of gold belonging
( to the Chilean government of that
time?as d measure to keep it from
' failing intq the hands of a strong revolutionary
, party. The revolution
must have! been successful; for none
returned to take away the gold, the
story runsf Yenrs afterwards, however,
the Protestant missionary at '
Moorea recjeived a letter from a priest
" in Chile enclosing an outline drawing ?
rornirni7o/? oa fVin miflmn a# I
mountain Jeaks about Opunohy Bay
' in Moorea., asking for information of
the location of the island so repre1
sentod, andl stating that he had knowl- S
edge of a treasure burled there. The &
missionary!having visions of ungold- d.
ly adventurers corrupting his flock o:
decided to lear up the letter and draw- ei
1 ing withou dispatching the answer. h
Nothing more was heard of the af!
fair until e month ago when a stran- h
ger arrived in ?the island bearing
1 charts and drawing, which, he claim- tl
! ed, would Vfcad him to the treasure.
Reporfc^rom Moorea state that, at ^
' the placevlndicated on his chart, on f,
1 digging do?wn, he came upon a concrete
slap)and great was the ecite- fl
ment untii the slab was broken g<
through anfl a cavity, about three Nfeet |c
1 in depth, viis disclosed containing ab'
solutely nothing. The seeker is, how- jc
ever, hope'jil and is hard at work dig- *
' ging and slunding in the valleys about j
J the bay. '
| First Report of Committee J,
Atlanta, ba., Nov. 20.?At the third c<
anpua), -convention of the American f<
. Farm Bureau here tomorrow six na- ^
tional cooperative marketing commit'
tees will bfring before the farmers of f,
America tjieir first reports on the
growing eopperative movement. These
committees, represent the wool, grain, a
live stock, fruit, dairy and vegetable w
I growing industries. These commit- p
tees, appointed within the last year
by President J. R. Howard, of the
American Farm Bureau Federation,
are forming national selling agencies ^
( through which individual farmers pool a
their products. Forty-six states will j
have state representation. a
This?will be perhaps the first time
in history that farmers have met nationally
to consider as a national probU
iL. I.-Al * *
. inn, me iiiarKewng or America's lood
supply. Taxation, transportation, ^
tariff, banking, disarmament and
finance are other subjects that hold a
place on the program. Experts in s<
their lines have been called in to dis- a
| cuss these subjects.
Another innovation in the move- c
, ment for better agriculture is the en- ei
listment of women in farm bureau ai
work. Each state will send its dele
crtaion of farm women to outline a n
program for the organization of farm a
women in a national way. In no other p<
nation in the world have farm women ^
organized. 8<
Address of welcome will bo extend- n
ed to the delegates from the 46 state a
federations by Governor T. W. Hard- ^
wick and James ^L. Key, mayor of
Atlanta.
The three days' program will be of- st
ficially opened tomorrow afternoon by <*r
President James R. Howard. T
Among the prominent men who will a*
address the convention arc Secretary fc
of Agriculture Henry C. Wallace, Sen- ft
ator Arthur Capper, Bernard M. Ba- tb
ruch and Senator W. S. Kenyon. w
The economic side of agriculture le
will be particularly dealt with in the ct
addresses of Senator Arthur Capper
and Bernard M. Baruch. Secretary or
Henry C. Wallace, of the Department G<
of Agriculture will speak on "The cc
Agricultural Outlook." fa
Thanksgiving Dinner w
At Clemson College
Clemson College, Nov. 19.?Eighty pi
Oconee county birds will be the chief
object of the Thanksgiving attack of
980 odd young South Carolinians who di
are students of Clemson College. 15
J. D. Harcombe, mess officer, has
completed the menu which was suggested
by the l>oya themselves. Desiring
to be democratic the mess officer
submitted the question of selecting
the menu to the stiftlents and they
accordingly rendered a selection of
edibles which strikingly reminds one
of "back home." yj
Inasmuch as many, if not the ma_
jority of students will be away from
the college on Thanksgiving the holi
day dinner will be served on the fol- p<
'lowing Sunday.

Tiflis Dreary and Terrible J
?
Tiflis, Georgia, Nov. .18.?(By a
taff Correspondent of The Associattl
Press).?Tiflis is a city dreary by
ay, terrib}e by night. The last city
f importance to come under the influtice
of the Bolshevik emblem of the
ammer and the sycthe, replacing the
ouble-headed eagle of the empire,
ere are contrasted the happy old
ays of gaiety and prosperity with
le dull misery of the new regime.
At the railway station, on entering
le city, the difference is seen and
?lt. Instead of swaggering guards
t black boots, black long coats and
ahsing silver belts and swords, are
Jen a few ill-dressed Red soldiers,
>oking hungry and uncomfortable in
1-fitting clothes held together by a
>ose belt. Barefooted, dirty, white,
iced, ragged boys clamor for a
fiance to carry baggage..
Peasant women and bourgeoise woten
of the old time stagger along uner
loads of baggage or packages of
iod and fruit hrmurht -fmm
juntry. Brocken down hacks wait
>r fares, pulled by thin, underfed
orses.
The streets are dirty and ill-swept,
all of holes.
People wear clothes that seem to
elong to another era. Here where
dozen tongues are spoken and
'here 100 tribes used to gather in the
roud finery of their national cos-:
ames, all is-down at the-heal.'
Women often feo stockingless.,
heir shoes show signs of patches
one over and over again until they
re compbsed of patches only. Their
kirts may be of old pieces of silk
nd their jackets of military cloth
r even the black leather of aviator i
aats. Shawls have replaced hats.
The men civilians wear clothes
rat are a parody on shabby gentility,
heir top boots are alltop, the soles
nd heels long since worn away. All
arts of military odds and ends, from
II the armies of Europe, contribute
> their dress, khaki puttes, yellow
lather jackets, British canvas trousrs,
French blue caps, United States
rmy coats.
The stores are boarded up, for the
lost part and when open surely have
few bottles of French or Italian
erfumes and little else. A pair of
merican shoes, of poor quality, was
?en in one window, marked 750,000
lbles, an incredible sum of money in
city where a monthly salary of n
evict employ is 3,000 to 5,000 rubles.
Small trading is done on the marit
place, where starving families
ill off finery and jewelry which earned
the wrecks of their
hese homes, once so comfortable
id bountiful in hospitality, are cold
r lack of fuel, dreary for lack of
*>d, often curtainless, with he~e arH
lere bullet marks on the outside
alls. The toilets and baths are use- (
ss, because the city water supply is
it off for lack of fuel.
The Red army in occupation has
ders from Moscow to be "good to
eorgians and it is "good," yet its
tmmanders go about with set, stem
ices as if the world was watching. i
