Grow the best shuck-protccted corn; store the weevil-proof ears in their shucks; shell and clean and feed, or sell, the unprotected ears as early as possible. That is the general plan for reducing insect damage, now and in the future, recommended to the average corn grower in southern weevil-infested sections by specialists of the United States brpartment of Agri culture.

Afte< harvesting-, the ears should be . orte into two classes?an operation whici can be done rapidly indoors with ordinary farm labor at a time when i is too wet or stormy to work in th field. The first class should includ all of th.e ears that apparently hav weevil-proof shucks. These ear may then be stored in their shuck until such time as they are nee :ed. Wce\ i I-in fester! Ears. The second class should include a! cars with tips protruding beyon ' th shucks, with loose or open shucks and any other that a re porably in fested with wee\ils. These errs require immediate attention to minimize the insect damage, as the weevi in them will continue l<; multiply ex crpt dining the col lest pan of th winter.

The shelled corn must not be stor ed in large mass or 't may heat during periods of high temperature. A slatted crib lined with galvaize '-wire netting having 1-4 inch meshes ?s ideal for the storage of the hags of grain, as it provides good ventilation and excludes rals and mice. Fall and early winter inju;y by weevils in corn from poorly protected ears can be prevented by fumigating if one has iv gas-tight storage bin. Farmers Bulletin 799, Carbon Disulphid as an Insecticide, tells how fumigation can be done. The importance of selecting for seed ears well protected by shucks that extend lightly several inches beyond the tips of the ears is pointed out by the .-pecialist.

FROM A HKUM.H.-S MAN To the IN 1 itor of the Horry Herahl: Please allow me space in your valuable paper for a few items from Wampee. The health of the community is very good at this time, with a few exceptions. I am helpless and cannot walk, although I registered on the 5th day of Juno 1017, and filed my Qucstionairc in duo course. I was put in Fifth Class. Wish I ha I heen able to have boon put in First Class, so I could go and help the other boys whip Germany; 1 would lik< to go and have a chance at getting old Kaiser while the Red Cross b busy knitting sweaters for our American soldiers.

With best wishes to all the reader? and a prayer that the Good Lord wil give us the victory and send our boy* safely home, i am, ?J. M. 1 : WHAT GERMAN VICTORY WOULD! MEAN. I (Contributed by ARTHUR TRAIN to the National Security League's campaign of l'utrlotlsin Through Education.) A German victory?or an Inconclusive peace?would mean the ultimate realization of the German Idea that Germany for the good of the world must rule the world. Tills has been taught In her universities as philosophy and In her pulpits as religion. The Germun nation unquestloningly accepts It and intends to force the rest of the world to accept It. This they call "Kultur," which they claim is "above morality, reason and science.'*1 Kultur teaches that there Is only one sort of right?that of the stronger.* It argues with specious profundity that in the relations of nations with one another there can he no such tiling as truth or honor. Frederick the Great taught that the Germans must make it their "study to deceive others in order to get the better of them."* Frederick William IV. 70 years ago said 1 that all written constitutions were only "scraps of paper,"4 and Bethmann-Hollweg in 1014 referred to The Hague convention in t lie identical words. The "scrap of paper" idea is; an old one in German diplomacy. The Germans believe themselves to he a nation of supermen and the Kals-j or the war partner?not of the God of j humanity, hut the "guter alter Gott"' of the Pagan North-- the War God?j who revels in the shrieks of women I and the torture ??f children, in hlood-1 shed and cruelty. "I am his sword, j his agent!" declares William llohen-i /olleru. "Lot ;tll the enemies of the! Herman people perish ! Hod demands) their dost ruct ion?Hod, who by toy, minidi bids you <lo his will!"8 To acecmp!ish tltls "divine" will tho Herman military authorities believe thiil any moiiiis are justifiable?tho mowing down of crowds of helpless civilians with machine guns, the cutting Off of the breasts of women, th<? hut terin z in of the skulls of the wounded with rille hutts. "Be as terrihle as Attilia's Iluns! ordered the Kaiser."4 "It is hotter to let a hundred women belonging to the enemy die of lumber than to let a single Herman soldier suffer."* "All prisoners are to he put to death," ordered Henoral Stonger in Belgium.4 Writes a Bavarian private: "During tho battle of Budonwiller I did away with four women and seven young girls in five minutes. The captain had told me to shoot these French sows, but I preferred to run mv bayonet through! them."4 This is the concrete result of what! ,...11 I > ,.1 t ..t + i?i* \ 11 i iiiii 11>7 * *11 i j lit* i\i 11 ^ m m i w1 ; Valor" and "The Gospel of Halo." Says one of their spokesmen: "Must: Kultur huild its cathedrals on hills of! corpses, sens of tears and the death! rattle of the vanquished? Yes. It' must."10 If Germany wins the war the Cnlt-' ed States will either he paying tribute to the Kaiser or German soldiers will he bayonettlug American girls and women in Jersey City rather than take the trouble to shoot them. if Germany wins .all our Ideals of truth. Justice and humanity?which we call Christian?will he trodden' down into bloody nilre under the iron heel of the Kaiser's armies, and the coming generation will he taught that there is no God hut the merciless God' of Battle, who spe.aics through Germany's treacherous tongue and by her brutal sword. 1 Mann in the "Neue Rundschau" Novein her, 1914 * Kulturirieat under dor Krlegf" .p r. i :t. 31-32 r. i ms. ixn. * Works of l'rodertck 11 Berlin Ed. 1818 1 Speech from the throne.

With a sad heart but in faith and humbleness 1 will endeavor to writ*, a short sketch of our dear loving. Lawson Chestnut, who fell peacefully asleep in Jesus' arms August 18th. 1918, near Bethlehem Church, while in bathing about 11 A. RI. He was found about 6 P. M., and was taken to his home. His remains were laid to rest at the old family graveyard the following day to await the ressurection morning. He leaves ; Father, Mother, two Brothers, thrc Sisters and a host of friends and relatives to mourn the loss, but we feel that our loss is his eternal gain. H< was always bright and was loved b> all who knew him. lie was a member of Missionary Baptist Church a* Hickory Grove for tiie past throe, years and was a member of the W. 0. \Y. at Hickory Grove camp. Dearest Lawson thou hast left us, And our loss we deeply feel. But 'tis God that hath bereft us, He can all our sorrows heal. ' You are none but not forgotten, Never will your memory fade, i Sweetest thoughts will ever linger, Round the grave where you are laid. !
