Farmers Can Be Independent
of Cotton if They
Have To.
The movement for the reduction ol
acreage planted in cotton has lite cn
dorsemdnt of David 1'. Houston, secrotary
of agriculture, as well as by
Charles J. 11 randt head of the mar-|
Kiting bureau, following is the
statement from Secretary Houston:
"For years the department of agriculture,
cooperating with the agricultural
colleges, has advocated a
system of farming for the South
which would insure the 'production
of the necessary food and feed supplies
and make cotton the susplus
evop. This plan was recommended
not only before the war but it was
m god earnestly during the war; and
the department still advocates it. I
ani inclosing a pamphlet entitled
'.Safe Farming in the Southern Stai
os in 11)19/ which has boon widely
circulated through our county
agents. Several representatives ( I
the department, in public addresses
and in newspaper statements, have
letcljfgivcn expression to similar
views.
"The extension forces of the deportment
and the colleges have been
organizing for several weeks past
for the purpose of bringing be for
tlie fanners suggestions for operations
in 1919. They arc furnishing
farmers the latest information that
the department and the colleges have
been able to gather concerning the
prospects for next year. Generally
speaking, the extension forces are ,
agreed that the wise policy for Southern
farmers to pursue in 1919 is to
make sure of the production of their
lirkinn ouniilinu iif KnUi fnn/1 nmi
\ J * i II Il\ / I I IV OU]fJ/IIVO \'I l/X/VM I VV/11 Ull I
feed. Attention is being- called to '
the fact that an average yield o.'
cotton on the acreage of 1918 will
produce 2,000,000 to S,000,000 bales '
more than was produced in 1918. On
account of the unsettled conditions in
Europe, it is impossible to make any
de finite forecast of the economic 1
situation, but certainly it is a safe
policy to pursue for the farmers of [
the South to raise their own homo 1
supplies of coth food and feed. They
should be able to do this and still
have sufficient acreage and labor to
pi educe the requisite quantity of cot- 1
ton. In short, the department be- v
Moves in a balanced agriculture and '
that only with a balanced agriculture '
can labor be sufficiently and profitably
utilized. ;

LETTER TO DR. DIETZ
FROM COM. OFFICER
Tells How Horry Boy Lost His
Life on Battlefields of
Europe.
l>i. C. S. Dietz,
Conway, S. C.
In reply to your letter of January
21.1919 it is with viie greatest regret
that I write you concerning the
wounding seriously of your son,
Harry A. Dietz.
On November 2nd, 1918 on the
Argonno-Meuse front, Northwest of
Verdun, the 2nd American Division,
t?> which this regiment belongs, attacked
and swept the Germans from
their positions, .causing them to
withdraw across the Mouse river. On
the night of November 10th the enemy
was holding the North bank of
the river, our forces the South. Oil
n->i^ niirM if w;is rilimnrwl to force a
dossing* of the Mouse and establish
a bridge head. This company and
ore other of the Regiment were
picked to throw two foot bridges
across the river near the little
French village of Letanne. The
bridges were put in under a withering
machine gun and heavy artillery
fire, and the Marines crossed over
and accomplished their mission, driving
the enemy ba<*k on the North
bank, but the bridges were not put
in without casualties, your son being \
< nc of the unfortunate ones. He was 1
wounded in the abdomen by a piece
of shrapnel or shell fragment. Despite
the heavy enemy barrage several
of his comrades carried him to the
First Aid Station in the rear where
he was given immediate treatment.
i
He was still alive and conscious but
very low when left there. It is behoved
that your son was later evacu- j
a'ed to the Field Hospital at Beau
inont, rranee, where the company
was billitcd and altho official notification
was never received by us it is
understood that he died there an I
was buried in the church yard near
Ueaumont. Proper report of his
hath and the location of his grave
would be made by the Chaplain officiating
at the burial. The Chaplain
s also required to forward his personal
effects or any personal bcongings
or trinkets he might have j
u) his person through military channels
to the effects depot where they
vili undoubtedly be recorded and
forwarded to you together with any
~>ay etc., due.
Other information requested by
you as follows: Your son enlisted
May 9th, 1917. The strength
>1 Campany "1]" is normally
2:>0 but while at the front it
was constantly changing due to casualties.
Capt. of Company at th.
lime of son's death was William T.
Itosscll recently relieved from command
of this company to return t >
the United States. The only Lieutenant
present with the company a'
that time was Lt. John M. Holloway,
who is still present with the company.
Sergeant Williard H. Marshall
was acting First Sergeant at
that time and it was under his direction
that the bridge was built. Itis
at present absent from the com
pany, attending officer's school a I
Langres, France, The following men
of the campany were present with
your son when he was wounded an I
it was they who carried him to the
dressing station; Sgt. WilUam Bennett
Pvt-l-Cl Arnt P. Bjorscth, Pvt1
CI Eli D. Pokriots, and Privates
Morris Sklover and Kenneth P. Finlayson.
These men are all present
with the company now with the exception
of Sgt. Bennett who was
wounded later that same night and
evacuated to the hospital.
Your son was very popular among
fie men of hi.s company, and his
loath was a loss felt very keenly b\
.hem, especially coming as it did the
*;st night of the war. He was a
jood soldier, cheerful no matter how
great the hardships, and always
willing to go, no matter where duty
called.

TICK ERADICATION
WILL BEGIN APR. 1ST
To be Resumed in Horry County
and Continue Through
- Season.
The great progress that has Lven
made in tick eradication in Horry
County and the Stale of South Carolina
during the past was due to the
cattle owners working in close coepJ
oration with the officials conducting1
the work. The results obtained were
so satisfactory, and in order for the
cattle owners, who had dipped their
cattle regularly and freed their
cattle and ranges of ticks, to receive
the benefits that always follow in the
wake of tick eradication, Horry Coun
ty, as well as the entire State, were
released from Federal quarantine on
December 1, 1918.
The releasing of the State from
Federal quarantine does not mean
that Horry County and the State of
South Carolina are absolutely free
of ticks, for they are not; neither
does it mean that He rrv Countv and
the Coast Counties of the State have
been released from State quarantine,
for they have not. Horry County
cannot be released fiom State quarantine
until THE LAST CATLE FEVER
TICK HAS BEEN ERADICATED
FROM THE COUNTY. Horry
County can be, and will bo, released
from State quarantine this year
[provided the cattle owners will start
the early and regular dipping of all
of their cattle, and by assisting our
agents in seeing that all of their
neighbors' cattle dro. dipped regularly
also. This is absolutely necessary
in order to accomplish satisfactory
results. In other words, all of us
must work together as a ifhit.
The officials in charge of the work
will do their part willingly, and at
this time are having the vats put in
pioper shape for the regular dipping
of cattle on April 1st.
i he greater portion ol Horry
County was freed of ticks last year,
because the cattle owners dipped all
of their cattle rogularly. In those
sections it will not be necessary tj

twenty-one days. This will be done
as a precautionary measure, for fear
that some of the ranges might have
Income re-infested during the winter
months by estray cattle. As soon as
it can be determined that it is safe
to suspend the dipping it will be
done, for it is not our desire to have
the dipping of cuttle continued longer
than is necefsary.
In those sections where the cattle
owners did not cooperate fully and
failed to dip all of their cattle regularly
it will be required that all
cattle be dipped regularly every four
teen days, and until it is determined
that the ranges have been freed of
ticks. j
Tick eradication will be continued
in Horry County until the last tick
has been eradicated, and those cattle
owners who do not cooperate with us
ard dip all of their cattle regularly
this year will be required to dip their
cattle again during the year 1920
and every year thereafter until the
work is finally completed. Therefore,
let's all work together not only
to make this the worst and last year
for ticks in Horry County, but to
make the establishment of a profitable
livestock industry possible.

Major Carwile Tells Discharged Soldiers
How to Proceed.
Maj. R. K. Carwile, / in charge of
the selective draft service organization
in South Caolina, has issued the
following instructions as to procedure
for discharged officers, enlisted
men, field clerks and nurses to pr.
cure the $00 bonus they arc entitled
to under the general revenue act:
"Section 1400 of the revenue act
approved February 24, 1019, authorizes
the payment of a bonus of $00 to
officers, soldiers, field clerks and
nurses of the army upon honorable
separation from active service by
discharge, resignation or otherwise.
This bonus is not payable to, the
heirs or representatives of any doceased
soldier.
"Those who are discharged hereafter
will receive this bonus on the
same roll or voucher upon which they
are paid their final pay.
"Those who have been discharged
and have received their final pay
without the $G0 bonus, should write
a letter to the zone finance officer,
L<?mon Cuilding, Washington, D. C.,
stating their service since April G,
1917, the date of last discharge and
their present, address to which they
desire their bonus checks' to be sent
and inclosing with this letter their
discharge and certificate or military
order f ?r discharge and both, if both
were is-ticd.
" LTpon the receipt by the zone finance
officer, Washington, I). C., of
this information and the soldier's
discharge certificate, this officer will
cause checks to be drawn and mailed
to the claimants in the order in
which their claims were received by
him. The discharge certificate will
be returned to the soldier with the
check. *
"It is estimated that at least 1,2".U,000
persons have been discharged
from the service who are entitled to
the benefits of this act and while
payments will be made as expeditiously
as practicable, it will manifestly
take considerable time to
write and mail this many checks."
