ing of a fourth potato weevil in tin
United States, which was. riicuovercc
in Irish potatoes imported from th
Andes. Of the diseases, citrus cank

The action taken with regard t<
foreign cotton seed which forinre
part of a cargo of the British steam
ship Appam brougiit to Nt wpo
News as a German pri'/e of war, the
report cites, is taken as il'ustratlr
the department's activities in keep
ing out pests. This seed was to !>'
sold by an order of the United Slates
Admiralty Court. An examination
o." the seed by specialists of the dc
partrnent showed many traces of infestation
by the pink boll worm.
Steps were taken to set aside tu
sale, ami the very large hulk of caller
seed were placed in sulphuric
acid vats as a preliminary to the
conversion of the seed into fcrtiii/.
ei\ A; additional precautions, the
two holds of the Appa:n winch had
contained the seed were fumi'-.atcd
with a strong dosage of so'hum
cyanid, and - the doc*k at Newport
News was thoroughly sv.pet and
carefully inspected to make certain
that no scattered seeds remained.
The fact that the great mrjeritv

the dangjr materially.

FAMINE IN MEATS
NOW THREATENING
Butchers Facing Crisis in Live
Stock Market, It Is
Stated.
* ?
INiO TENNESSEE HOGS;
OTHER PLACES BAD
Supply of Foreign Cattle Also
Exhausted by European
Trade. ^
_____ ""
Scarcity of hogs and cattle is like'y
to induce a meat famine of alarm
ing proportions in Columbia and
other commercial centres in the im
jiettiatc future. J. J. Miller, who
has operated for a number of years
v e of the largest meat markets in
0 iumbia said the outlook was never
0 gloomy as that which now convents
butchers.
"Shipment of hogs from Tennesvc
ne.s practically ended." he said,
.i; li e supply has been exhausted.
Ne.-cssary sequence is that native
i\< gs iiiii moot the market needs
ml in addition to the scarcity of
!.? so. the disturbing- factor of "poor
.amity" must be added. In previous
.. < urs Tennessee hogs were plenti1
. vh through February and up into
| Inch. Average prices now paid
rx. bees are 10 and 10 1-2 cents,
[ 1th t' c prospects sharp advancI
; in vie immediate future. .Ivmilar
conditions prevail in the
. I'l'ket foi beef cattle, Few can be
nparted and the available supply of
' live grown cattle consists largely
. 1 -o "scrub" variety. "Always bewo
had 400 to 500 cattle ahead,
1 i ring fed for the late winter and
t' spring months. This year we
v.'ven't any in sight and 1 believe
I 1 e same situation prevails with othbut
'hers in Cohimb'a." The rean
advanced by Mr. Miller for the
Kplcted supply of foreign cattle and
i 'u gs was the extremely heavy drafts
for the European armies. "All the
' ) tter quality hogs and cattle
1 hroughout the West wore puchased
.'or the European markets, because
they couhl pay better prices than obinei!
in the South." A meat fam;
"ne s eemingly imminent, Mr. Miller

IMPROVEMENTS FOR
NOME AND COMMUNITY
C'lemson College, S C.?Have von
j \ farmers club in your community?
It would help you and your neighbors
to get under each others skin.
Have you organized a farm loan
|association in your community? It
; would enable you to borrow money
| at a cheap rate of interest.
Why not paint the farm houses?
Nothing looks better than a white
house in green surroundings. Paint
is not altogether out of sight either,
(let your neighbors to order with
you. Large orders are always cheap
er than smaller ones.
Cut out and burn all twigs on the
pear and apple trees affected with
blight. The disease won't spread so
j badly if this is done.
If you are building roads, build
1 good roads. Make them so they will
! last and be a credit to your com*
vnunity.
Buy your supplies cooperatively
and not individually. You will save
much by this.
Where is your road scraper? The
old split log drag is the road scrape
for the farmer to use. Have it
ready to use on the roads after every
a in. Persuade your neighbor to do
i the same.
