Paris.?The reply to the German j
counter proposals agreed upon by
the Peace Conference heads refuses
the German request for a mandate
for the former German colonies, it
was learned.
The reparations portion of the reply,
which has beben completed, does
not fix the total sum which the Germans
must pay. The text of the
treaty itself is not changed, but the
reply contains assurances to Germany
regarding the method of the
reparations process, explaining that
it is a workable arrangement.

made after the meeting of the Council
of Four that there was hope of a
comparatively early decision on the
reply to Germany.
It was saitl an agreement in principle,
was reached on the reparations
clauses to the effect that no definite
sum to be paid by Germany will be
fi> ed in the treaty and that the question
would be left virtually as in the
original draft.
In French circles it was stated
that the treaty will be much less altered
than has been generally supposed.
French Unyielding
It was indicated that France was
still determined not to agree to any
material changes in the treaty.
Premier Clemcnceau is especially
firm in his refusal to agree to the
admission of Germany to the League
of Nations immediately. The French
hold that they understand German
pyschology bettor than the Allies and
realize what the increasing arrogance
of the Germans during the
last few weeks means. They say
they appreciate how much this arrogance
would be increased if the
Peace Conference should yield to the
German demand for immediate admission
to the League. The trench,
it is understood, are willing that the
Germans should be admitted later.

GREEN CLOVER WORM
HARMFUL TO ALFALFA
Timely Cutting, Clean Culture
Control are Recommended
as Remedies.
Serious damage to alfalfa by the
green clover worm has been repQrtcd
to the United States Department of
Agriculture from several parts of
the eastern half of the United States,
' i 1 1 1 _ A __M A _ 1 1
wrere uus pesi is uisiriuuicu general
ly Although for many years it has
been known to occur commonly on
clover and has received its popular
name from this fact, its injury to this
crop has rarely been sufficiently
serious to justify control measures.
It usually confines its attacks to leguminous
crops, such as alfalfa, clover,
soy beans, cowpeas, and vetch
but sometimes feeds on strawberries
and blackberry plants and some
common weeds.
Timely Cuttings Recommended.
The best control measure, as recom
mended in Farmers' Bulletin 982 ol
the United States Department of Agriculture,
consists in timely cutting
of the alfalfa crop, so as to remove
the food supply when the caterpillar.^
of this insect are most abundant
Clean culture is also recommended
and when outbreaks are particularly
bad the use of the hopperdozer is ad
visable.
There are throe or four generations
of the green clover worm a season,
according to the bulletin, whicl
allows ample time for the insect t<
increase greatly in a summer. The
caterpillars are killed in considerable
numbers by natural insect enemies
but this method of control can not be
relied upon for protection of the al
falfa crop. The alfalfa shoulel be
move*! when the insect is in the cat
erpillar or worm stage??from ton te
three weeks after the time of the
appearance of the moths in grea1
abundance. To insure success the
fielei should be left as clean and bare
as possible in order to remove the
fooel supply anel any shelter protect
ing them from the elirect rays of the
sun, which hastens their destruction.
If these measures can not be car
ried out without injury to the alfalfa
either from premature cutting or toe
prolonged delay, wait until the alfal
fa is ready for another cutting,
ought to be possible, however, be
fore the summer is passed, to olea
the fields of this insect in this man
ner.
In the Eastern States prematur<
cutting often results in permanen
injury to alfalfa, especially while
is young, and for this reason th<
cutting of this crop much in advanci
of the normal period is not recom
mended.
As this caterpillar feeds on man)
different plants, ditch banks anc
fence rows should be kept free fro it
weeds.
The caterpillars have been caugh
readily by dragging a field with i
hopperdozer such as is used foi
grasshopper outbreaks. It does no
hurt the alfalfa when not used to ex
cess, and will catch many injuriou;
insects.

Speaking of blpe-blood, and family
c i trees with numerous long branches?
,! The old American families are
| modern, revised editions compared
to the Armenians.
For close to 3,000 years the Armenians
have been established

is new going to help the oldest of
^ Christian nations build a prosperous
I peaceful republic.
Three thousand years! A thousand
y.ars before the birth of Christ.
/
j More than 25 centuries before Colum
but discovered America.
Long before the Hook of Genesis
^ the Armenians were established at
I what is now the gateway between
the mystic Orient and the modern
, ; Occident. The Bible, back in Genesis
viii mentions Armenia under the
name Ararat:
| "The ark rested .... upon the
j mountains of Ararat."
Even Before the Deluge.
Old Noah, according to tradition,
"docked" on the peak of Mt. Ararat,
with a pair of animals and birds of
| every description. Noah, when he
| went out "on deck" could see, as the
waters subsided, the great Armenian
plateau all about him.
No use trying to pose as superior
3 beings?all Americans who can trace
their ancestors way back behind
Noah's time please rise and be counted.
The origin of the Armenians is
generally spoken of as "Indio-Eurpf-an,"
but it stretches back so far
I thai it may be said to be hidden in
3 antiquity.
i In the early days Armenia was ex
posed on her eastern side and for cen
turies the Assyrians, Babylonians,
3 Persians and later the Romans, tried
3 to exterminate her. In later years,
* since she has been Christian, the
II Turks and others have been trying
: the same thing.

under Tigranes the Great. So Rome

earth.
Before GOO A. D. a fine Armenian
literature had sprung up; Armenian
scholars had made translation of
the Bible which has been called the
"Queen of All Versions" because of
its accuracy and beauty. When she
accepted Christianity Armenia turned
her face westward and ever since
has striven toward modem civilization.
In the 11th century the Cmsaders
gave hope to Armenia. They were
hailed as the Deliverers who would
carry the cross to victory over the
crescent. Many Armenians joined
Godfrey's army in the conquest of
Jerusalem?but it fizzled. And then
'he Crusaders withdrew to Eurone
1 mvhig the Armenians to suffer the
terrible vengeance of the Moslem -.
Through the Middle Ages the Armenians
were harassed by wars and
invasions and there was little chance
l*oi literature and art to spread. But
in the monasteries monks worked day
j and night to keep up the progress of
j the race in art and education and
| they produced fine manuscripts,
many of which may be seen today.
Massacres Began Early.
The last king of the Armenians,
Leon V, was carried off captive to
Egypt from the capital of the king
dom in Cilicia, along the Mediterranean,
after the defeat of Armenia
by the Arabs. Later he was released,
going to Paris where he died in
1393. His tombstone may still be
seen at St. Denis Church, Paris.
Time and again, since the 14th con
tury, thousands of Armenians have
been forced to leave their country.
In the 14th century 200,000 or more
fled to Poland. In the 17th century
other thousands fled to Bukovina and
Transylvania. Later great numbers
went into Persia under the protection
of Shah Abbas, but his successors
ill treated them so they were little
better off than under thee Turkish
yoke and they emigrated again, this
time to India, Afghanistan, Bui-ma,
China, Java and Sumatra. In later
years many have gone to America
and to European countries to escape
massacres by the Turks, the
most recent of which begn in 1915.
During recent years the Armenian
question became established as
an international problem, which only
now has found solution by making
Armenia an independent state under
the League of Nations, with America
as mandatory power to assist her
and see that nothing prevents her
development.

GROWING SWEET POTATOES.
* ? Easily Grown, Profitable Crop For
South Carolina.
Clomson College.?There are few
crops so well adapted to South Carolina
conditions that can be grown
with equal success and profit as can
the sweet potato. This crop offers to
the grower every advantage that is
offered by other fields or truck crops,
says Geo. P. Hoffman, Extension Service
horticulturist.
Soil selection, preparation, fertilizing.
careful fitting and planting, and
cultivating are the essentials of success
in the growing of a crop of
sweet potatoes.
Soil: The sweet potato adapts it
s*elf to a great diversity of soils, but
:t delights in and thrives best on a
we'I drained sandy or clay loam underlaid
with a clay subsoil. But regardless
of the apparent ideal physical
condition of the soil, this crop
must be rotated each year. Sweet
potatoes may follow corn, cotton,
small grain, and leguminous cover
crops, and may he easily and effectively
worked into any well balanced
three-year rotation system.
Preparation of Soil: The soil may
he thoroughly and deeply prepared by
turning twice to a depth of G to 8
inches, followed by cross discing.
Crooked and irregularly formed roots
result from shallow preparation of the
soil. Therefore, deep and thorough
preparation is vary essential in the
hum ins v/i iiuti Ktimuiu puiuiueM. I
Fertilizers: Both barnyard manure
and commercial fertilizers are recommended.
but the former must be judiciously
used. Because of present
shortage of potash the element of plant j
food most needed in excess in potato
production, liberal applications of
barnyard manure will be found to bo
very effective in helping to reduce this
shortage and to correct the physical j
condition of the soil. The fertility
and physical condition of the soil
should determine the amount of the
applications. Ordinarily, both commercial
fertilizers and barnyard manures
are applied in the drill, when
the soil is being fitted for setting the
I plants, and, later, as a side dresser.
Fitting the Soil and Setting the
Plants: Preparatory to setting the |
piants lay off rows 3^ to 4 feet apart 1
and apply the barnyard manure (8 trt J
10 tons per acre) or commercial for- |
tilizer made of two-thirds 16% acid [
phosphate and one-third cotton-seed
meal applied in the drill at the rate ,
or 400 to 600 pounds per acre, and '
thoroughly mix with the soil. The j
planting beds of medium height, tie- i
pending upon drainage, should be j
thrown up and dragged down. The
plants or vine-cuttings should be set '
14 to 18 inches apart. The period for j
setting the plamts is from May 1 to |
July loth. To correct the packed cou- ,
dition of the soil brought about
thj-ough the transplanting process,
j the water furrows should be harrowed
i or otherwise shallow cultivated immediately
following the setting of the
plants.
For late plantings, the one-leaf vine
j cuttings 8 to 10 inches long are more
desirable than are the slips or
j "draws," this being especially true in
! the growing of seed stock,
j Varieties: Nancey Hall, Porto
i Rico, and Triumph are the leading and
, most popular varieties grown in this
I State. Triumph is one of the earliest
varieties, and should be planted when
potatoes are grown for early market.
Cultivation: Froqnent and shallow
cultivation should be prnotirfcd
until the vines have covered the
ground, during which period the
greatest of care must be exercised in
the turning the vines. At the first
cultivation, which consists of a careful
hoeing and siding with a broad
j furrow, a side dressing of a mixture
of one-third cottonseed meal and twothirds
16 per cent acid phosphate
: should be applied at the rate of 400 to
000 pounds per acre, and thoroughly
i mixed with the soil. The Orangeburg
sweep or heel bow and shovel will be
found to be very effective in cultivat(ing
this crop.
A Record of Profits: The following
I record of expenditures and returns on
an acre of sweet potatoes in 1917-18
was furnished us by a grower in Richland
County, South Carolina, the crop
having been produced In 1917 and

early spring.

All deep cultivation should be done
before the seed are put in. The benefits
of shallow cultivation are:
1. It prevents formation of shallow
crust on the surface.
2. It forms a dust mulch, which
prevents loss of soil moisiure.
3. It lets air into the soil.
4. It makes plant food available.

FIGHTING THE BOLL
WEEVIl WITH LIME
Professor Conradi Says Arsenate
of Lime May Prove
Effective.
t*
"The results so far secured with
the use of arsenate of lime Jfegainst
the boll weevil will warra*^ thor- 4
ough experimenting with a View of *
developing this remedy into a practical
control measure," says Prof. A. f
P. Conradi, of the division of entomology,
who announces that in addition
to establishing a series of coodcrn'cive
experiments tit points in t\nv
State where serious weevil injury
may be expected this season, the division
will be glad to give any information
to farmers who are interested
in the subject. The division of entomology
has available all of the important
records of the bui^^u of entomology
of the United Stsucs depart
meat of agriculture.
The time for starting the application
of arsenate of lime for poisoning
depends upon the severity of weevil
infestation. Generally speaking, the
grower is advised to start poisoning
whenever fairly severe weevil injury
is indicated by the fallen squares. In
other words, it is not considered necessary
to poison early in the season
unless the weevils are very numerous.
Poisoning is usually started
when the weevils are puncturing 15
per cent, of the squares, and is repeated
often enough to keep the percentage
of punctured squares below
20 per cent, after laying by time.
This would mean starting some time
from the first to the middle of Jul v.
The material must be correct, the
{proper dusting gun must be used,
the time of applying it is of great
importance, as well as the conditions
of the surrounding plantation. f
| The government laboratory at Tal,lulah,
Ala., especially emphasizes the
importance of having a sample of the
material analyzed before using it,
and this will be clone at their laboratory
at Tallulah. The government
urges that the calcium arsenate
should conform to the following
specifications:
Not less than 40 per cent, arsenate
pentoxide.
Not less than 0.75 per cent, water
soluble arsenate.
Density not less than GO cubic
inches per pound. ?
For large areas a powerful duster
is necessary. Farmers greatly interested
in this subject should get
particulars before purchasing of machinery.
There are many things to be
worked out and the several States
are cooperating with the bureau of |
entomology in attempting to perfect
the method proposed by them, and j
any one who purchases supplies and |
machinery without proper advice and
then loses should not blame any one j
but himself.
