The Smith-Lever Act. appropriates f money as follows: ? (1.) $10,000 of Federal funds annually to each of the 48 States. , (2.) In addition to the $480,000, the l act appropriates for 1915-16 $600,000 cf Federal Smith-Lever funds. This ; sum will be increased annually by $500,000 of Federal Smith-Lever funds until 1928, when the annual i Government appropriation will be set at $4,580,000. The additional appropriation is divided among the States in the proportion that the rural population cf each State bears to the total rural population of the States . Any State, however, to share in this extra Federal Smith-Lever fund must appro priate and spend in extension work at least an equal amount of money from sources within the State. The money from the States will brin gtlic joint demonstration fund to $1,680,000 ir 1915-16. In addition to the Smith Lever fundv however, the Department of Agriculture during 1916 will expend from its own appropriations for farmers' cooperative demonstration work and for other direct field instruction in special subjects over $1,025,000. The States will raise from sources within the State .and spend for demonstration work a total of .$2.Of0.000. This will make a grand total of $4,750,000 to be spent in the fiscal year 1915-1 f> in bringing.practical and helpful instruction to the farmer and his family in their own communities. <> FRESH MULLET New Catch properly handled and cured.

C., Oct. 1.?Governor Manning and Warehouse Commissioner McLaurin held a lengthy conference in the Governor's office a few days ago, discussing the advantages of the State Warehouse system and the legislation necessary to perfect the law governing it. No statement was given out after the conference, but it was learned that both Governor Manning and Commissioner McLaurin are agreed that certain defects in the law should bo remedied i and that there was a practically complete agreement between the Governor and the Warehouse Commissioner as to what is best to bo done in perfecting ^ this law that means so much to the cotton producing interests of South Carolina. It is likely that Governor Manning and Commissioner McLaurin will hold frequent conferences on this matter before the Legislature i meets in January and the results of these conferences will probably he embraced in a message from the Governor to the Legislature during the early part of the next session. The following editorial from the Yorkvillc Enquirer of Sept 21st refers to this subject: I "As a result of a conference between Governor Manning and Warehouse Commissioner John L. MeLaurin, it develops that Governor Manning is not secretly hostile to the State warehouse system, as was legitimately deduced from published remarks recently attributed to him. It is quite clear that if there should be a reguj lation providing that managers ol ! State warehouses should be absolutely | disinterested parties, neither (/ners of the warehouses nor of the cottor stored therein, 'there .could easily doI velop a situation very different frorr that under which all present progress has been made. But from reports | of the conferences referred to it ap pears that the governor is most sin ; cercly solicitous of developing th< ; warehouse system along lines tha will work to I he interest of the producer of the cotton first, an,' the puhli< generally, second. The conference referred to, we understand, developer that there was practically complete agreement between Mr. McLaurin aiu Mr. Manning as to what shall he don< and the outlook is that such recommendations as the governor shall set proper to make to the general assembly with regard to improving ant strengthening the warehouse system will be made only after complete agreement between the governor and 1 the warehouse commissioner." o To Drive Out Malaria And Build (Jp The System Take the Old Standard GROVE'S TASTELESS chill TONIC.

NEW TERRITORY IS TAKEN IN GEORGIA impression is Tha,t Pest is D3'ing Cut in Eastern Texas. Washington, 1) .C., Oct. (?.?"Under normal conditions the boll weevil advances into new territory at the rate of about 50 miles each year, but during a period of only two weeks during the present season there was an advance of about 100 miles. This movement carried the insect into Georgia for the first time, and 25 counties in i that State became infested. Several counties in Fiorida have been infested j for several years but 8 additional ones became infested by the same movement. Twenty additional counties in Alabama were also invaded. All of tuts spread vook pWe bVwcen t]/? loth and dlst of August. "* -v ^ There were several conditions according to the entomologists of the United States Department of Agriculture, which contributes to this unusual dispersion. One of them was , the drought in Alabama and Mississippi, which caused the plants to cause i fruiting and deprived the weevils of" > the squares upon which they prefer to feed.

The wee. vils were thus carried much farther i than they would have gone by natural 5 flight or even by the aid of ordinary 51 winds.| tW_.. -1 The Department has placed all -! available forces at work to assist the 3 j farmers in the territory that has j\1s? t become infested. Most of the cotton - j is now open and this will allow an un31 usually early picking so that the ; | broods of the weevil can be destroyed 1 by uprooting and burying the plants ? or burning them where necessary. The 1 Department strongly urges the buryi ing of the plants wherever can be - done prompt 1\ as the humus thereby i placed in the soil is of very great im portance.

Another feature of the boll-weevil problem which is attracting considerable attention is the dam* ge that is being done in Texas this season. There is a more or less general impression in the eastern part of the cotton belt that the boll weevil has died out in the State of Texas, but the investigations of the Department show that the abundance of the insect in that region depends on climate conditions During the present season I these conditions have been extremely j favorable with the result that the inI ~ b 1 I oc v u nii? ikm'ii as aDimdant as at any i time since it invaded the State The ( lesson to be drawn from this fact is that the planters in the eastern part j of the cotton belt must make a strenu; ous fight, and should realize that ' since the boll weevil has not died out either in Texas or Mexico, it is not at ( all likely to do so in any other region I j that may become invaded. They 1 should adjust theii systems of farm' ing to boll-weevil conditions without delay. ,\ Wnmlnxf"! A * ' IV VIIUVIIUI III IJSOpi 10. Germs and infections aggravate ailments and retard healing.
