Poisoning Materials Early By It. U .Coad. A rather peculiar situation has de-J ? velopcd which promises disappoint-, cr mcnt to many cotton farmers who! dc ivish to poison the weevil this year if i qi some steps are not taken to remedy dc it. For the past several years vari- ri mis machine manufacturers have been h< taking up the production of cotton to dusting machinery and have turned out limited numbers for the trade ! which developed. However, they have1 always been confronted with the fact! hat many farmers would defer pur-1 h; chasing dusting materials in somej di vain hope that the weevils were not' It to be abundant until so late that it' s< was impossible to secure deliveries in! a: time for best results. During: the past C several months we have been canvassing the results the farmers sc ured C last year, and find too frequent rt peti- a lion of a statement to the effect that c< ma bines were delayed in shipment c and <Iitl not. reach them until a few, days or a few weeks later than the C time they were really needed, and' c consequently poisoning became more e expensive and les successful. It is now quite obvious that the spring of 1922, P is going to see an abnormally heavy emergence of weevils, and while this1 ti nay 1 e somewhat offset by sunnier C weather conditions, there is n<> excuse t; for delay in securing equipment if you v are going to poison the weevils this C u'.ir, r uruivriuui t*f tiic inuii .ii* ciui r crs have no means of anticipating just o what the demand is going to bt and C naturally do not feel justified in build-, c ing a largo number of maehires on a t< ramble. The consequence is tha1 ma p thine production will probab'v more' or less keep pace with visible business, o and there is little prospect of a sur s plus of machines being prepa .*ed and p thus placed at the disposal <f ,hos<-! suddenly deriding to poison at the J 1" last moment. Our advice is decid* now ; a whether or not you are pomp to pre- v j are to poison, and if you d< ei !e to t do so, immediately make arrange- c ments for your supply of dust m inn t ehines has already been an lo'.nced c for the year. The various one mule t machines are all between ?100 amb s $125, while the two-mule iv.ae'nines t practically all range between $25 i and ( $^00. These prices are fairly ve isonable in proportion to the present value of cotton, and there is little 1 kl.hood ,-.f Cnvtninlf .Mill' i,>?l VI HUIKUUII. V.VI W...II1J i.v?

Considering all features of the situ s ation we feel that we car.no- too strongly urge either purchase of ma terial now or the decision to net. at-, tempt poisoning this year. .

I was too insane to think ich of anything." ioseph N. Biedenbeck, engineer s burned about the face and hands said, "I didn't see any fire. Th< p just tilted up and started to nos< e. It took about 20 seconds for u; hit the ground and nn oxplosior lowed. I was pinned down so that ould not get out. The fabric was r>ve me and the birders were ab jund. I waited for the fabric tc jn through so I could get out. All > time I was afraid that the big gns velop behind us would explode. As happened, the fire reached the fab before the. big explosion. If i d not, I could never have gotten ou vo. I saw one man try a jump. I n't know who he was 01* if he made safe landing. We hit right aftei it. We were too low for anybody tc ike a safe jump." Both Biedenbeck and Major Rear 11 spoke of the gallant way tin leers remained at their posts. U11 the instant of the crash, the officers the wheels struck. One of the survivors said that the una often sailed with a little tilt d that he paid little attention to e initial lift of the tail of the ship itil he heard n man yell that the aft refused to respond to the helm. Several eye witnesses watching the una soaring above the army base ortly before the <leath plunge of the ant dirigible claim they saw wisps smoke darting out of the side of e huge gas bag. A moment later e volume of smoke increased and on became a yellowis glare. A oinent later the huge blimp whirled iwnward and collapsed near the mv haso tire station in a mass of line. Firemen immediately began lighting e blaze which burned fiercely. Calls were sent to all government Hpitals in Norfolk and Portsmouth id rescue parties were immediately ganized to aid those who had not wished in the fatal plunge. Several of the victims, it is believI, were instantly killed and their dies charred beyond recognition by e furnace like tornado of flame.

Jooperative Marketing Of Cotton Columbia, Feb. 20.?A veritable ti' dnl wave of enthusiasm for the cooperative marketing of cotton is sweeping over the state, and officials of the South Carolina Cotton Growers' Cooperative Association say that contracts are coming in by every mail. The visit of Dr. Clarence Poe to the state last week when he delivered speeches in Newberry, Aiken, Johnston and Bamberg has been followed by great activities in these counties. Dr. Poe strongly presented the plans of the association atthese points, told of the successful completion of the campaign in North Carolina where over 400.000 bales had been signed and of the splendid business men chosen tohead the North Carolina association. He predicted success for he South Carolina campaign. "If the farmers of South Carolina do not enthusiastically support the movement on foot to organize and to nut in sucessful operation the South Carolina Cotton Growers' Association, fhey need never start another farmers' movement because it will be a \nilure," says J. H. B. Jenkins, vice president of the Peoples Bank and Trust Company of York, in a letter to W.B. Wilkersen, county director for Western York. I Mr. Jenkins declares that the association "will do more to bring about and regulate orderly marketing of cotton at a fa'r profit than anything else than can be done," and says: "We have quite a number of farmers among our stockholders. We number hundreds of farmers as patrons, and we are and will be ust as willing, if not more so, to assist financialy farmers who are members of the asociation as those who are r.ot. The fact that the government through the great War Finance Corporation and the large financial in| stitutions and the money centers have I endorsed Cooperative Marketing asj sociations and have expressed a will ingness to extend, and are already extending:, financial asistance in large amounts, is initself evidence of the soundness of the proposition. It is a great pity that the farmers of South Carolina have not long before now organized such an association. The would now be enjoying the great benefits that are being enjoyed through associations already organized in Texas, Oklahoma, and Mississippi. "The farmer who does not oin in this movement is not only standing in his own light but is retarding the future development of the South." 'outhern Will Put On Tourist Tickets Jacksonville, Fla., Feb. 21.?General Passenger Agent H. F. Cary of the Southern Railway System announced here today that the Southern will put in round trip tourist rates (to mountain ana seasnore resorrs ior the coming summer season at 80 per cent of the double one way rarer., which is a very substantial reduction under the tourist fares in effect last summer. For example where the one way fare is $10.00, the round trip rate this summer will be $16.00. Last year the round trip rate would have been $18.00, plus $1.-14 war tax, making a total of $10.44. These rates will apply from all station to all mountain and seashore resorts reached by the Southern, and are expected to have a great effect in stimulating tourist travel. Cooperative Extension Work How many of us have thought about getting up some little cooperative proposition in our neighborhood; raising good vegetables in our home gardens and fruit in our home orchards usuik enough for the home, and clubbing together to sell the remainder? The big horticulturists have made this past year. Why not let's get u little bit of it for ourselves? The secret of making money out of borticultre is to grow a first-class pr< duct, grade and pack it properly and put it on the market in good | shape. It will then sell, Poor fruit i rd poor vegetables never sell. Ilomcmaker! Make a special effort this year to produce the best pos- ! sible product in the home orchard and garden and you will be surprised how many people in the nearby town will he glad to get it at good prices.
