When flic: caterpillars are on the march or aic starting in on one corner of a field of grain they may be headed off by plowing; a deep furrow directly in their path. Then the insects that have fallen into the furrow may be killed by dragging" a log through it. Early Discovery Essential. Tiie importance of watchfulness 011 the part of the farmer ?i-.s a factor in combating the army worm can not be too greatly emphasized, say department specialists. "Cipon the discovery of the pest in its younger stages depends very largely the possibility of stamping out an "infestation before serious injury to crops has occurred. Meadows should be frequently examined during the spring and early summer months, particularly those planted to timothy, blue grass, and especially millet. The thicker and lorgor the growth the greater the danger from the army worm. The grass or grain should be parted with ' the hands in various parts of the] field and the lower portions of j me growth dlosely examined in order to discover the presence of the small, gicenish caterpillars; anil if they he found in-.any number the area covered by the infestation should be doteimined and vigorous action taken at once to destroy the worms before they become large enough to begin their journey to other portions of the farm. In case Paris green is used care should he exercised in preventing stock from gaining- access to the poisoned grass or grain and being injured or killed by eating it. It is far better to sacrifice a portion of the crop, if the destruction of the post can be accomplished thereby, because if the army worms are not destroyed they will take the crop anyway and probably devastate other portions of the farm. Summary of Control Measures. (1) Provide yourself with a spraying apparatus and keep on hand several pounds of some standard insecticide, such as arsenate of load, arsenate of zinc, or Paris green. (2) Watch carefully the grass growing among the cultivated field crops in the bottom lands or in the low places of the fields, and upon the first indication of thci presence of these caterpillars apply poison spray as recommended in Farmers' Bulletin 731., a copy of which will be sent free on application to the United Suites Department of Agriculture. (3) In case of a general invasion, after the caterpillars have gone down into the ground in? order to change to the next stage, which ?s the pupa, give the ground a light cultivation, wherever this is possible. This will cause the death of many ot the army-worm pupae. (4) When the caterpillars are on the march, or are starting in on one corner of a field of g-rain, head them off by plowing a deep furrow directly in front of them. Then kill the larvae falling into this furrow by dragging a log through it. Whore the whole field is infested, plow a furrow around it, so as to keep the worms out of the surrounding fields. Keep the furrows free from rubbish, so that the larvae will have no means of crossing to the farther si lo. i i THE HORRY HERALD.

Take 00 pounds of bran and mix thoroughly with it either 1 pound of Pans green or crude arsenic; then add 2 gallons of low-grade molasses diluted with from 3 to 4 gallons of water ant I'6 finely chopped lemons. Tlus is especially recommended for fields --containing mixtures of grass and cow-1 peas, cawpcas and sorghum, or fields j in which grass has been consumed by j the caterpillars. Do not pasture stock in fields where the grass or other crops have been sprayed with a poison mixture until after heavy rains liave fallen, and not before three weeks after ihe application of the insecticide. r> TC^ , H South Carolina will soon have a! full fledged ambassador, the prcsi- ! dent having nominated Capt.

Paris.?Frederick William Hohenzollern, tht former German crov n prince has escaped from Holland and made his way into Germany. News of the escape of the excrown prince caused a considerable stir in Peace Conference circles, j While it is not felt that lie is a j figure around which the reaction ! mu:-i anc. monarciusis wouui gamer (enthusiastically, nevertheless, liis act is regarded as an event of considorlablc significance, in view of other German recalcitrancy. Hints have come from Germany within the last few clays that the military caste there would not ne averse to bringing* about a military situation within the former empire that would embarrass the Allies 111 putting the peace treaty into effect, and it seems not improbable that the; move made by the ex-crown prince is connected with some such plan. The former crown prince made his way into Holland shortly after the signing of the armistice last November and was interned there by the Dutch government, taking up his residence on the island of Wieringen, on the Zuyder Zee. Two days before the armistice was signed, a decree issued by the German imperiai chancellor, Prince Max of Baden announcing a decision of the former German emperor to abdicate, stated: "The Imperial chancellor will remain in office until the questions crn nected with the abdication of the Kaiser, the renouncing by the crown prince of the throne of the German empire and of Prussia, and the setting up of the regency have been settled." This generally was accepted by la* public as an official announcement of the crown prince's intention to renounce his rights to the succession. Denies Renounciation. Pater, however, the crown pr'nr.o denied any such intention in an interview tfiven to the Associated Pre-a correspondent. at Ooostovlnnd, Holland, December M, "10 JR. At that ton the crown prince said: "I have not renounced rnythirr i and ! have not -i:vncd any t nctimciuv liatever.

It is stated that already quite a large number of boys have lost their discharges. A total of 5,000 troops of the Eighty-first Division have arrived at Camp Jackson for demobilization.

Duncan, of New York, Submits Proofs to Allied Medical Ass'n. New York.?Influenza and pneumonia arc no more to be feared than a boil on the back of the neck, according to Dr. Charles H. Duncan, one of the founders of the Volunteer Hris;nil ?1 ?'Iia In ?? 1?t -.-.J . ... . , .. Iiv/, til U I CUIVII Ut" IUIU the convention of the A11 ie<I Medical Association of America, described his method of combatting Spanish Influenza by means of immunizing a patient, to his own poison. "Upon 241 patients ill with pneumonia an 1 influenza last winter," Dr. Duncan said ne had used the treatment "with cut a single fatality or any complications." "13rifely," the physician said, 4 I take one drachm of mucous from the infected area and pasteurize it in one ounce of filtered water where it remains several hours. One cubic centin.etere of this toxine, injected subcutaneous! y, will of font a spontaneous cu < of Spanish influenza, pneunu ilia, catarrh or any similar localized infevti mi. It will stop any cough, oecpt UibcKu'o.'s, inside of 24 hour:;.," Duncan declared that his discovery was based upon his observation of a dog licking a se.rc paw. He said the dig, b\ increasing germs of resist ai ce ai iho plac of infection brougnt about a natural hcali. g, and the .v.*:Ibo'l b.c employed was similar in ihat it increased the leucocytes or white corpuscles of the? blood and these in turn carried the poisons out of the human system. The doctor said he had been using the method, which he calls "Autottheraphy" for about ten years ami that it war. now widely accepted by allopaths, homeopaths and electric physicians although it had been indorsed by the American Medical Association. T)r. Duncan said that by taking the poison front a boil and subjecting it to his process and injecting the sterilized product into a patient's body he not only cured him of the boil but rendered him immune against a repetition of such afflictions. Similar results, he said, had been attained a cases of mastoiditis, oz.ocma and certain types of local vcncral diseases. o PEANUT-FED HOGS. CI em son College.?A recent issue of the Weekly News Notes pnntnin. rcl an article on "Peanuts and Hogs" showing results of experiments in Alabama emphasizing especially the fact that it is more economical to sell peanuts thru hogs than by direct sale of the nuts In discussing the question of peanuts as a feed for hogs, !>. W. Williams, of the animal husbandry division of the Extension Service expresses grave doubt as to whether South Carolina farmers should turn very largely to peanuts as a hog feed. "It is questionable whether it is advisable to plant very many peanuts for hogs this fall," says Mr. Wil liams. "While hogs make very cheap and rapid gains on this crop the carcasses are greatly discriminated against on the market. Soft drippy pork is not desirable. At present South; Carolina is producing hogs that sell to better advantage than j those from other southern states. The .reason is that our hogs kill harcl j as a rule. It is our advantage to I continue marketing a superior product that sells well toward the top of the market rather than to get a reputation for soft hogs and take a cut in price which often amounts to three or four cents per pound. "Hogs will be marketed this fall in carload lots from practically every county in the state. Every farmer should aim to provide at least one or two surplus hogs for those shipments in order to establish a hog market in this state. Be sure to kill enough to assure your home supply of meat; then market the surplu . In the future of diversified farming in South Carolina the hog is one of the most promising factors."
